TS2326 iMessages across multiple iPhones / iPods appear to come from the wrong person

We have three different devices using iMessage - 2 iPhones and an iPod Touch. This issue is difficult to explain but from time to time when sending iMessage from one of these devices the sent message appears to come from the wrong sender. For example, my wife will send an iMessage to a friend but it appears the iMessage came from me.
We also use iTunes. All of the phones are signed into iTunes as the same user which is my username.
Could this be the problem and how do I fix it? Do I need each phone to have it's own iTunes account? If so, can I make it so purchases in the iTunes store are only made through my account?

You can continue to share the same iTunes account, but for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone, etc., each needs their own separate Apple ID's. So, whoever's iTunes account it is uses that ID(if a verifiable email addres) for iCloud, etc. The other person creates an Apple ID & uses that for iCloud, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

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.

When i send imessages they come from the wrong number, how do i change this to my number?

When I send an imessage the receiver see's the number that came with the phone before my number was transfered from old provider. This was also the number that was listed under contacts as "my number". how do I change this?

I had a similar problem when changing SIM cards during a journey to abroad. The new number was accepted, but after changing my SIM that number didn't disappear anymore. I wanted my number to be showed up in iMessage and FaceTime but no chance.
Just to make it clear I'm not talking about the number you are able to change in the settings, I'm talking about the number related within your iMessage and FaceTime settings. I found out that the phone number remains, even if you change your Apple ID or your SIM card.
Finally that worked for me:
1. disable SIM PIN and remove your SIM card
2. remove your Apple ID from the iMessage and FaceTime settings
3. restart your phone
4. insert your SIM card
5. activate iMessage without your Apple ID (wait a few minutes)
6. send an iMessage to an iMessage compatible Email account (the phone should now use your actual phone number)
7. activate your Apple ID within iMessage
That worked for me.

My iPhone email keeps sending email from the wrong account!

My iPhone keeps sending email out from my gmail account instead of my "Default Account." Is there a setting some where or some way to fix this? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Ouch, I'm afraid we have a damaged pref file, likely the main...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Trouble is it holds al the most important info, so I'd try this first...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Instead of deleteing that main plist, we might be able to use PrefSetter to make a new good copy...

When I turn my MBP on, it makes a whirring and grinding sound for a few seconds (5 secs?) and then boots up normally. The sound appears to come from the right side, perhaps near/under the button.

The MBP makes no noise after this. I can't recall ever dropping it.
I purchased it in Jan 2011 (so I'm guessing it's a 2010 model? No idea. Has black keys & new, slim charger!)
Happens when I've turned it off and on & when I restart.
What do you think the problem is most likely to be?
I've had it over a year now so my Apple warranty is already up. I got it from John Lewis though, who give you 2 years warranty.
Both John Lewis & Apple stores are 1-2 hours away from where I live now.
Should I -
a) visit the Genius bar and hope they can fix it there and then? What does Genius tend to cost & can it be quick?
b) take back to John Lewis (and I guess they'll fix it for free under warranty but take a zillion years!)
c) find a repair shop where I live, who will look at it quicker but may also cost and arm and a leg?
d) any other suggetions? Maybe never turn the laptop off again ;-)
Thanks in advance for any help/advice/tips/solutions!
Carly.

OK - more details/info now.
When I use terminal and type this:
drutil eject
I believe the DVD drives makes the odd noise I heard when I booted the laptop up.
Any thoughts?
I'm guessing that means my fan/hardrive are actually OK then, and it's probably the mechanism in the DVD drive that is causing problems?
I'm almost certain there's no DVD stuck in there?

Setting up iPad Mail so messages appear to come from an email forwarder address

I currently have my iPad set up to send and receive email from my btinternet.com email address and this works fine. I also have an email forwarder directed to the btinternet address and I would like to set up my iPad so that emails appear to come from the forwarder rather than from the btinternet address. I guess I need to set up a separate account but despite trying several times so far, I have been unsuccessful. Can anyone advise?

Yes, with iOS 6 your iPad can use your iPhone phone number to send and receive messages. Your iPad must be using the same Apple ID for iMessage in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive as your iPhone. If it is, and you don't see the number listed, first confirm that your phone number appears on your iPhone in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. If it does, then on your iPad try going to this setting, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.
To have your messages addressed as being sent from your phone number, select your phone number on both devices in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, under "Start new conversations from".

From one of my yahoo groups all the messages come thru appearing from the same person. Why is this?

I belong to several yahoo groups and use the filters to send them to their respective folders. Lately with one group, all the messages appear to be from the same person, which I know is not true from looking internally. I've looked on my providers site at my email, at at the groups site, they are that way so it's happening when it comes into Thunderbird. Running version 24.6.0.
Thanks Dwight from WI

They aren't in the address book. Anyway I went into the config editor and set something to false and it took care of the problem. Don't remember what it was. Something with "Show" in it.
Thanks for your time!

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
Must be a verified email address.

If the other person knows my ID, whether on its iPhones messages appear to come to my iPhone?

if the other person knows my ID, whether on its iPhones messages appear to come to my iPhone?

nope. they'll either go to you because you have data, or they'll show up on your friend's phone as 'undelivered'

Transferring iPhone/iPod touch backup data from PC to a Mac

Hello everyone! Is it possible for me to transfer my iPhone & iPod touch backup data from my PC (Windows 7) to a Macbook Pro? Because I'm planning to switch to Mac soon. I've tried transferring my backup data from PC to PC and it worked (Windows XP2 to Windows 7). I was able to sync my previous data to my iDevices when I plugged them into my new PC. If it is possible, can anybody please tell me how?
Thanks a lot.

... I fear that if I connect my iPhone to it all my iPhone information, including apps will be deleted.
You are correct. Transfer your iTunes library, which includes your app and music purchases from the PC directly to your new MacBook Pro. Your photos, contacts, and other information can be transferred also if you use Migration Assistant.
This explains how to use Migration Assistant: OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
After you sync the iPhone to the PC for the last time, "deauthorize" the PC for music purchases.
When you sync the iPhone to the MacBook for the first time, it will tell you that it is already synced to another computer, and give you the option to erase and sync it to the MacBook.

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Riceburner1,
Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
For Windows 8.1:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
For Windows XP:
1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file. Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name. If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.
7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
Hope this helps!

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)? I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library. I can click on the Music link under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not. I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue. This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC. These we had loaded into iTunes. I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine. The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync. I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again. 64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!
