Hi ShantellePhilips,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

All the best,

  • What do I do when I try to verify a second iCloud email account for iMessage on my iPad and I get an error message, Unable to verify because the email is already in use. Thanks for any answers.

    My iMessages that I write on my iPad are not showing up on my other device, the iPhone 4.  I went into the settings and tried to add the second cloud email address, however, I keep getting an error message saying that it cannot be verified because the email is already in use. What do I need to do get it working. I have two iCloud email addresses.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't. 

  • I have a pc and I might have registered my ipad to it, I now want to but a MacBook will I be able to still use my iPad?

    I have an iphone 4s and an Ipad3 both of which I have at one time connected to my PC using Itunes for PC. Is it possible to use the iphone and ipad for backing up and updating if I buy a MacBook Pro. What will I need to do to make them compatible with the new Apple Computer?

    You can use iCloud for syncing between your idevices if you wish or use the Mac in the same way as the PC. I believe you will need to authorize the Mac to be the main source for iTunes.

  • Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge.  However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge.  I download

    Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge.  However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge.  I downloaded this.  The instructions say :Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location: 
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
    Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.  However there is noplace on my Macbook Air running Yosemetie that has this /Library/Applications SUpport/Bridge CC Extensions. Can anyone advise?

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

    I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

    Hey Liakalady,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your husband’s iPad may have restored from a backup of your device. If he was using iCloud to automatically backup, you can attempt to restore his backup:

  • TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

    my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT5622 Can I use the same apple ID for imessage on my Mac and iPad?

    Today I attempted to send and iMessage from my iPad. The message began to send but the loading bar stopped when it was almost finished and an exclamation point appeared next to the message. I am connected to my house wifi, and I have never had a problem with iMessage up to this point. A couple of months ago I bought a Mac and I am using the same Apple ID and Email for iMessage on that. I am wondering if the reason iMessage has stopped working on my iPad has to do with the fact that I am using the same account for my computer?

    Then it wouldn't appear that your home network is the problem either. Try turning Messages off on the iPad, reboot the iPad and the turn Messages on again and see if that fixes it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed

  • If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

    If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

    If a new SIM is activated on the same account for the same number, any existing SIMs for that number are deactivated.
    Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not?

  • A guest at our home used his ipad and changed the network name. How do I change it back to the apple network

    A guest at our house was using his ipad and changed the apple netwrok name to another and put a password on it.  How do I eliminate this netwrok and get back to the Apple Network?

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on resetting the password. Once that is done, you can access the base station to change its Wireless Name (or SSID) back to what you prefer. To discourage other "guests" from changing the AirPort settings, you should also change the default base station Administrator password.

  • I am trying to add tracks which I have on my library on my computer to my ipad. I have done this manually but teh status bar never gets beyond "preparing to update". I have used itunes for years but never had this problem before

    I am trying to add tracks which I have on my itunes library on my pc to my ipad. I have done this manually but the status bar never gets beyond "preparing to update". I have used itunes for years but never had this problem before

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547
