Test messages going to the wrong contact

Every now and then, I will send a text message to a friend, and somehow, the message and the following conversation, seems to be copied to my wifes phone.
An interesting scenario!! Also makes me wander who else might be aware of my sms conversations!!!
I cant put my finger on when the issue first started, it does seem to have started fairly recenlty though. At first i thought i must have done something wrong...but now i am sure there is some sort of anomaly here.
I have done an iphone reset (ie..hold power and home buttons down for 10 seconds). That did not seem to resolve.
My friends is using an iphone 3GS (not sure of iOS version) and my wife and i are both on iphone 4 with 5.1.1. My wife's and my phone are managed by the same itunes account / pc (not sure if there is some sort of confusion between phs somehow?)
Any ideas on how to address this?
Thanks

Your Messages app uses 2 different paths to reach recipient. Either through Apple server (iMessage) or Cell carrier (SMS).
Here a link to an artikel which gives you an idea how to share Apple ID.

Trouble with text messages going to the wrong person

I have four family members all on the same Apple ID account. Text messages are going to the wrong people when sent among family members. Text A going to B ends going to C. Not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

Bonjour + Fast User switching = messages going to the wrong (inactive) user

We use iChat for Bonjour in our office– fast file transfers etc.
If a user is one of 2 or more logged in on a machine– through the use of fast user switching, we've noticed that incoming messages (initiated by another user on the network) will often go to the switched user (i.e. the inactive user) not the user we're currently logged in as.
We've been able to repeat the issue.
1. Log in as user 1, fast user switch to user 2 (leaving user 1 logged in but inactive)
2. Go to new machine, log in as user 3
3. Send message from user 3 to user 2
4. Look at user 2 screen. No messages
5. Send message from user 2 to user 3. User 3 will receive message, and will be able to send message successfully back to user 2.
6. Log out use 2
7. Log in as user 1
8. Notice all the messages that were going to the 'inactive' user profile.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior?

HI MAtthew,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
I have not seen this (I only have one Mac).
However there is an item in IChat Preferences > General section that can set the staus of the Users account to Offline or Away when using Fast User Switching.
What is yur set to and does it make any difference when changing it ?
Away in normal circumstance menas someone can still Invite you to chats (or Text you)

Text messages going to the wrong people...

I just got my new phone about 3-4 weeks ago. Atleast once a day it seems, I am on a thread to send a text message to one person and it ends up going to someone else. The person it goes to is someone I've previously been texting but days before. So I haven't even been on that thread for days! Does anyone else have this problem?

Text messages going to the wrong phone.

My son, wife and I each have an iPhone 4. My son and I each have aan iPad2.
Recently, some text conversations between me and third parties showed up not only on my iPhone but also on my son's iPhone and iPad.
I attempted to solve the problem by turning off iMessage and then by creating a new apple ID for my iPhone and my iPad.
Messages from thrid parties sent to me now sometimes turn up on my son's iPhone (and, I presume, his iPad- he's overseas with his iPad and without his iPhone, and our communication has been spotty, but he has confirmed that he's recieving on his iPad at least some of the texts sent to me). Now, when the texts sent to me by third parties show up on his iPhone, they do not show up on my iPhone.
This is too weird, and it's really difficult to communicate with others when I can't tell if I'm getting all of the messages third paries are sending me.
How do I solve this so his iPhone and iPad don't get messages that have been texted to me, and so that my iPhone does get the texts others send to me?

You have set up iMessage with the same e-mail address on multiple devices.
Don't do that.

Messages going to the wrong Integration Server

Hello All,
We saw a problem with few messages on the production XI server for a brief period of time. the following is the scenario.
1) An ORDERS05 IDoc comes out of the ECC, gets correlated and was sent out to conversion Agent for translation and was sent out to the vendor.
2) We get the response 997 from the vendor to the file port. This message has been picked up by the file adapter, got translated and was sent out to the XI Integration engine on the development box.
I could see this message on the RWB under the Adapter Engine component. This message did not reach the Integration engine on the Production box. A close look at the message details tells me that the message was sent to the Integration engine on the Development box. This happened to a few messages with in a minute time frame. All the messages before and after the minute time frame made just fine to the XI integration server.
We checked the SLD and found no reference of Production box pointing to the development XI IS.
I appreciate any pointers in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi Balu,
this could happen if your XI DEV system has a file adapter containing the same source directory where your response from vendor is coming for production.....this file adapter will be active....so it is pickng your response and triggering it to XI DEV before XI prod can pick it up.........it is also possibel that your XI PRD system file adapter is currently deactive or has some error in it now.......So just check the file adapters of XI DEV and XI PRD for your this scenario......
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try the following steps:
Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

Siri has the wrong contact saved. How do I change it?

Hi,
I've just got my new iPad and I've been playing with Siri for the first time. I asked it to text mum and dad. It asked which contact and I selected the wrong one. How do I change this so it texts the right person in future?
Thanks in advance :)
Tom

What's happened is I have a cousin with the same name as my dad. I didn't think about it when I selected Chris. Mum and dad are saved as mum & dad but when I send a text or email via Siri it sends it to Chris and mum and dad!
I hope that makes sense. I want to stop it sending the message to Chris but still send to mum and dad. They are different contacts!

HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address. The correct email shows in my Apple account. Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption. I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

Print job gets to printer and vanishes or goes to the wrong tray

I have one 10.4.11 computer in an office full of 10.4.11 computers and the print jobs either go to the printer and default to tray #1 which is always empty forcing the user to go to the printer and manually redirect the print job to the right tray otherwise the printer waits for input and creates a backup of print jobs for all the other users in the office or the print job goes to the printer and the data light blinks a few times and just vanishes and nothing happens. This happens when printing from the local admin account and the network user account. There are many users in the office and no one else is having this issue, it came up when the HDD was replaced and the system was rebuilt, I used the same image for another rebuild a month earlier and didn't get this issue. printers were added using printer setup utility and bonjuer as always tried adding with the ip address as well. The printers are two HP laserjet 9050's and a color laserjet 5550. I have tried changing every print tray setting I can find, this happens in every app that I have tried as well(cs2 indesign, illustrator, textedit, word) I have tried the reset printing system option in the printer setup utility and have re added the printers any number of times. The wall is still in one pice and my head is getting really sore please help.

Message "to complete the transaction, contact support iTunes". What's this?

I can not buy the program. Wrote, "to complete the transaction, contact support itunes"

If you haven't already done so then you will need to contact iTunes support and ask them why it's appearing and how to resolve it (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

TS4268 Trying to send a message but the name that appears in the destination box is 'emergency' not the contact but the message goes to the contact. How can I rectify this?

I was sending messages to family but noticed that the names in the contact box were 'emergency' and not the contacts I was writing to. Can anyone explain this and how to amend it back to contact names, please?

First just try logging out and back in. Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
You might also try Trash It!
Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

Why is my music going to the wrong place?

Sometimes when i connect my ipod to the computer to put more songs on my ipod, it will come up as "Bree's iPod" and then at the bottom of iTunes it says "Used:48.51... Free:28.82" but my ipod only has 4GB. And i don't know where it's transfering my music files, because when i look at my ipod after it's done updating, none of my new music shows up.
Does anyone know what's wrong???

Sounds like iTunes is confused about which drive is your iPod. Check this: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

ITunes - syncing multiple iPhones and avoiding apps going on the wrong handsets!

Hi all,
I work for a small telco and i sync multiple iPhone handsets daily to my iTunes on my work PC, the problem i'm having is when the customer wants there applications transferred to their new handset, I have to sync the applications to my itunes and then put in the customer Apple ID password and transfer the purchases. Then what happens is the customers go to update their applications on there handsets and it comes up with another random apple id to update the app. How can i stop this from happening???
Please I need your Help!!!

My wife and I share almost everything...so when we purchase apps, we use the same Apple account. We have one account with AT&T with two phones. We also have one account at the apple store and charge everything to a specific credit card that has a very low monthly ceiling. This allows us to download the apps to our iphones from different computers. When I buy an app or download a free one, she logs in with our account and is eligible to download the app too. I think it is OK with Apple but have not read the fine print of the agreement.

Hi: My wife has mail sent from a 3rd party email account. When she attempts to trash these emails 2 things happen. The message goes in the trash and an error message happens..Trash-home email. Operation could not complete. File exists.

Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer to solve the above issue with Mac mail on my wifes' MacBook.

Hi:
I should also mention thatthe issue is with Mac Mail, which is where the messages are being forwarded to from the 3rd party email account.,......sorry for any confusion.
This is a problem that cropped up recently, i.e., previous to the past couple of weeks, she had no issues with trashing email.
Thanks,
Michael
