  • I have 2 iphones registered under the same appleID.  Every text message that is sent to my phone, the other phone receives as well.  If I turn "imessage" off on the other phone, will this solve the problem from her receiving text messages meant for me?

    I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's.  I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me.  I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones.  On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off.  Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that  i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?

    Why not create a second Apple ID?  Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?

  • We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop getting my daughters texts, both sent and received?

    We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop receiving my daughters texts? Both sent and received.

    When you use the same Apple ID on 3 devices it means you are all using the same (email, imessaging, calendar etc).  Since iCloud (MobileMe) is designed to be shared across all devices included Macs, it means all devices setup with the same ID will have access to the information.
    Text messaging is relevant only to the number you are texting.  This is done through your telecom companys lines and not on Apples.
    If you do not want to have others be able to read any of your information then it is best you each have your own account.

  • I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

    I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

    The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.

  • I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  how do I fix this?

    I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    Hi stuartbonk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
    If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
    Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
    To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
    Log in to the administrator account.
    Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
    Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
    Enter your iTunes account name and password.
    Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
    Quit iTunes.
    After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
    OS X
    Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
    Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
    If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
    Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
    Restart the computer and open iTunes.
    Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • HT5538 I have multiple Apple devices and my family all share one apple ID.  I know it is easy to obtain additional IDs but all devices are registered with the same Apple ID.  My questions is how do I set up my devices so that we can Facetime between devic

    I have multiple Apple devices using the same Apple ID for all devices.  I work in the Middle East and my wife is in Russia.  I would like to Facetime between my different devices.  Is this possible with all devices registered with the same Apple ID.  It is just easier for find my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and for purchasing Apps.  Is this possible and how do I set it up.

    Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

  • I have an iPad and an iPhone registered under the same ID, am I not eligible to get 10GB free space on iCloud?

    I have bought two Apple devices iPad and iPhone. I have registered both under the same Apple ID I have. as such I believe my account is eligible for 10Gb of free space on iCloud instead of just 5Gb provided. Why does Apple penalize for registering multiple products under same ID when it comes to free space on iCloud?

    Hi ..
    Storage is per Apple ID, not the amount of devices you have. That's how content is synced.
    No one is penalizing you. You can get 5GB's of free iCloud storage and that includes both yoru iPad and iPhone since they are associated with the same Apple ID.
    If both devices had different Apple ID's, you still only get 5GB's of storage per account.
    Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • I am trying to add a new credit card and it keeps telling me that I have to enter a valid security code...I have tried 2 different cards and it is doing the same thing. How do I get past this?

    I guess it has been a year since I last purchased something on I-tunes and my account is saying that they couldn't authorize my card for some of my purchases.  I am trying to add a new credit card to clear this up and it keeps saying that I have to enter a valid security code.  I have tried 2 different cards and I get the same thing.  I have also added an I-tunes gift card and that isn't clearing up the money that I owe.  It is showing that I have a $25 credit for that.  How do I fix this, I have been trying for days and all I have got from the e-mail tech support is that its my credit card issuer that is causing the problem.  Thats not correct because one of the credit cards that I am trying to use, is a prepaid Visa gift card.  I know that these work on I-tunes because I have used them before in the past.  I am getting very frustrated with this whole process, I just want to clear up my account and buy some new music!! HELP!!

    You probably ran into blocks & locks.

  • Our household has two IPhones, two IPod Touches, 1 IPad and 1 computer. we want to have it all under the same Apple ID for the purpose of Home Sharing, but my two kids iPODs cannot use their facetime or messaging becuase it shows they are on my iphone.

    HELP! We have several Apple devices in our household (2 iPHOnes, 2 IPOD touch, 1 iPAD), and cannot get them to work correctly becuase my two children have to be under my creditcard and apple account. When I do this they cannot send me messages or facetime me, and when then try to do so with their friends it says my name and IPhone. Also, my husband and I want two seperate credit cards for iTUNEs but want to take advantage of the home share, but the one computer we have will not let us share. and had to have 2 apple ids created. WHy is this so confusing? Cant I reset everything under my Apple ID, and allow everyone to have their own email accounts and identity?

    my ipod was previous to the most recent so i think thats a 4th gen
    i've used the same apple id on both laptops
    thanks

    i need proof of purchase for an insurance claim. i dont have the box because i threw it away when i got the ipod. is there any way of showing, on my new laptop, that i had my last ipod so that i can get a replacement.
    cheers

  • Help please is there any way to have 2 iphone 4's which are updated on the same account and not have the same stuff on each phone i.e. contactsm, apps, and calendars? we like the fact if one purchased an app and other wants to get same app its free!!!!

    we updated both of our iphone 4 on the same computer and we have always shared the same itunes account which is convenient when one purchases an app the other person can simply download app without purchasing again!!! but we do not want all same contacts and app on both phones!!! after updating and setting up icloud we both had same contacts so i went in contacts on my phone and began deleting his numerous contacts on my phone well not knowing that it was deleting on his phone also!!! oops he tried restoring from backup with no luck retrieving his contacts !!! also another issue i have noticed is the manual says that in order for it to sync ur phone must b plugged into a power source well and i have noticed it saying syncing w my phone when it was not plugged anything wall nor computer and it looks as tho in the summary at the bottom where it displays capacity and free space that it is gonna take everything off of my phone but nothing changes on my phone!?! do we just need to get him a separate itunes account to be able to get full benefits from update?!                                                                                                                                                                                                          

    Here's how to do it.
    1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
    2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
    3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts  and etc.

  • When i get on yahoo, it opens me up under the primary account, but when i try to get on the secondary e-mail account it automatically shifts me back to the primary account. Dont have this problem in internet explorer.

    Yahoo hosts my e-mail. It is under a primary e-mail address under @yahoo.com. Under that primary account, I have another e-mail address that is based on my own domain name. When I get on firefox and bring up yahoo, it opens under my yahoo.com address but it has a "logged in under" section which allows me to go to my .(my domain) address. When I click on that, my .(my domain) mail comes up for an instant and then firefox shifts me back to the .yahoo account.
    This happens on my newer most recent windows computer but not on my older one and never, ever happens on internet explorer. I may have to abandon firefox for internet explorer if you cannot fix this.

    the settings program will not allow me to enter any of those cells.  the accounts section is all in grey scale (not black) and none will open including "add account"

  • I rented a movie from iTunes on my apple tv, can I watch this rental on another apple tv that's on the same network and under the same account?

    I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.

    Hey hskcheng,
    Movies rented on an Apple TV can not be transferred to a different device. See this article for reference -

  • How many Apple devices can connect to one account? If I get 2 iPads for my home can they get apps under the same account or different accounts?

    I am wanting to purchase an iPad for myself and kids but I am wondering if they need to be setup under a different Apple account or just one. What about my iPhone that is under that account? So how many devices can be linked to an account before it is maxed out?

    I'm not sure what the total limit is (or if there is one), but two iPads and one iPhone is no problem - you only need one account and you can have the same apps on all three devices if you want without any issues (I have an iPad, iPhone and iPod without problems). There was a thread a few weeks ago about a newspaper app (though it could have been a magazine), where the issue could only be downloaded to one device, but that is the only time I've heard about that limit.
