Somehow my daughter and I are receiving the same texts

we downloaded the new ios 6- and when my daugther did hers- she added my phone number. When i did my update- her phone number was there- and I said okay. Didn't realize it was going to sync our iphone contacts. (our duplicate/sharing seems to be limited to just texts and with iphone users only) We noth have taken iCloud off our phones- and deleted the conatcs we thought were the duplicates-but the problem is still there.

Sounds like a Messages settings problem. Check in Settings --> Messages --> Send & Receive. That screen lists your Apple ID as well as "You can be reached by iMessage at:" with a checklist of possible numbers and/or e-mails. Each of you should uncheck the other's info on your phones.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

I seem to have two email accounts with my service provider and they are receiving the same email as far as I can see. Can I delete one and feel safe that I am receiving all of my email.

I have three separate email accounts showing up in my Mail program on my MacBook Pro. Two of them are my local email provider one showing up as SaskTel Email and the other showing up as sasktel.net. The third one is ICloud. Can I delete one of the SaskTel ones, as they seem to get the same mail.

What do you tell your friends to use to send you email?
Are they going to the same "Incoming Mail Server", logging in with the same "User Name" ? If so, they are two instances of the same account, and one can certainly be deleted with impunity.
This detailed information is in
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > ...
... click on the accountname and inspect those fields.

If two iphones were updated using the same apple id and now are receiving the same messages, how do i fix this?

Hey guys. So i recently downloaded ios7 for my iphone 4s and so did my mom. But my mom decided to update her phone as well using the same apple id. Now she is recieving all of my messages instead of me. Please let me know how I could fix this. Thank you.

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

HT204053 i share apple ID and downloaded the new apple itunes software, now both phones share contacts and receive the same text messages...how do i fix this? How can i establish a new apple ID for a iphone and still use my computer to sync the iphone, wh

i share an apple ID for itunes with 2 separate iphones, i update IOS to 6.1 2 months ago, my contacts megered on phones and now i get the same text messages on both phones. How do i fix this?

To use iCloud your iPhones and your Macs should all be signed into the same account, what are you trying to achieve.?

HT204053 My wife and I are using the same apple ID. since last week, i am required to pay twice for the same app on our 2 devices (even though we are using the same ID). what can I do to fix this?

My wife and I are using the same apple ID. Up until last week we used to buy an app and pay for it only once, but use it on both devices.
since last week, the app store asks me to pay again for an app i already paid for on one device. On both devices automatic downloads (in settings) is and was always turned off.
what can I do to fix this?

Actually no. After installing an app on one device, I used to see an "install" button on the second device (since it's already been paid for). Now i get the full price button on the second device. I didn't want to proceed with the purchase because i didn't want to be billed twice.

hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

I keep getting an error code that my billing info doesnt match my card info. I verified with my bank, the bank card, and my itunes account and all are exactly the same. I need this crap fixed, how?

I keep getting an error that my billing info for my card doesnt match my bank info, but it does. Nothing has ever been changed. I called my bank, the card company, and all are exactly the same, word for word as my billing info in iTunes.
In fact, every time I get the error code that billing doesnt match, my card gets charged a $1.00 authorization fee. It later falls off, but it shows my card is being billed when they say they cant verify billing info.
I called Apple support and they want to charge me to get their crap together.
I need to do some updates and by a couple apps for work and am about ready to go to ANdroid if I cant get it fixed.

If you're in the US, this is usually caused by the simple fact that what the Postal Service shows as your address does not match what you're entering. Go here & see:

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Or remove you from his, it's moot because You and He are the same account, either get him his own (they are free) or live with this cozy but privacy compromised method.

HT201335 Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

I had this problem also. Several times in fact. And it has not been any relation with sw update (Apple TV). I managed to fix this on a strange way. I drop off WiFi in iMac and joined back. Right after thatI tried to adjust Airplay settings, but I didn't manage. Reason was that my iMac didn't found any Airplay devices (?). After about 2-3 minutes iMac recognized my Apple TV. And also audio "posting" to Apple TV started to work.
So restart your WiFi connection on your iMac or MacBook Pro - it may help.
Another hint is to use command: "sudo killall coreaudiod". More information about that: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~cquammen/wp/2011/02/18/resetting-audio-on-mac-os-x/
I have not tried this, but maybe next time

TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

Hi
I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
Cheers

Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

HT4356 Do I need an App to print from my iPad to my new HP AirPrint capable printer? My iPad says it can't find a printer and we are on the same network.

I have a new HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP that is supposed to have air print. My iPad isn't reading it. Is there something special I need to do? Both are on the same network and my laptop is working fine with it. Any suggestions?

1. Make sure it's setup for network printing

2. You can try using this App
