Unlink another phone from Message/iCloud account?

Somehow my wife's iPhone has become linked to my iCloud account. I've signed her out on her phone and unlinked her phone in iCloud and Message preferences however every txt she receives comes to my phone and every time I try to txt her, the message comes to my own phone, and not to hers. The txt messages are coloured blue not green suggesting that somewhere our phones/accounts are still linked

I'd check on your and your wife's phone settings>messages>send and receive. (make sure the email addess & phone number are not the same as yours)
You can have multiple phones on the same account as and this won't be a problem as long as the same address are not checked. You can also add email address to your account so that imessage can go to different phone numbers and be associated with unique email address. To do this add alternate emails to your apple ID.

  • How can I remove my traded-in phone from my iCloud account?

    I sent my old iPhone back to Verizon as part of a trade-in agreement for a new phone. I followed their instructions for removing "Find my phone" from my old phone before trading it in.
    Now, when I log into iCloud I still see my old traded-in phone in addition to my current phone. How can I remove my old phone from my account? Why didn't that happen when I set my old phone to wipe all content before I traded it in?
    Thanks,
    Will

    You would think that erasing the old phone and removing it from your iCloud account would have removed it from your account settings on icloud.com but apparently that's not the case.  The only way to have done that would have been to sign out of your iCloud account first, which you obviously can't do at this point.
    Although I can't confirm this, one user said that they were told by Apple support that the old phone will automatically be removed when the old phone is signed into another iCloud account.  There's nothing else you can do at this point.

  • Is there a way to remove my phone from an iCloud account without a password?

    Ok. So a long time ago, around 3-4 years ago, my girlfriend at the time gave me her old iPhone 3GS as she had gotten a new one. Rather than resetting the device in any way I just kept using it with my SIM card. I have now just gotten an iPhone 4S and have set up from the back up of my 3GS. It keeps asking me to sign in to iCloud with my (now ex-) girlfriend's Apple ID. It keeps popping up and it's really annoying. Is there any way that I can remove this.
    After reviewing the posts here I have found a way I can remove it from iCloud but I have to log in to her Apple account, something that I cannot do. Why is her account even tied to this phone?? It has nothing to do with her, it must have been pulled from my backup when I activated, right? If I reformat the device (and lose all my data :@) Will this fix the issue or will it completely lock out the phone from activation without her ID?
    It seems rediculous that the phone that I purchased somehow believes it belongs to my ex-girlfriend. Any way around this that any one knows of? Preferably whilst also being able to keep my data if possible. I have no interest in using any iCloud features, but I really do not want this device to be registered to her account. Also, since I have never actually logged into her account with this phone, will it show on her account when she logs into iCloud??
    Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

    Hyperbole is not very useful on a tech support forum. No one flipped out.
    Whether or not what happened is ridiculous or should or should not have happened is a question for another time and place. You should definitely submit feedback to Apple about it:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regardless of why it happened or whether it should have happened, the only way to remove the activation lock is to contact Apple. You should be able to do it over the phone. You may be required to send them the original proof of purchase. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page.
    Once you get the phone working again, do NOT restore it from you existing back up or you will, most likely, be right back where you started.
    Best of luck.

  • TS2755 I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. It has been this way for over a year with no issues. After and update on of the lines started getting text messages from all 3 phones. We fixed the send and receive and it was fixed. It is doing it again.

    I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.

    Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage.   That will permanently fix your issue.

    Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another of my icloud accounts?

    No.  Purchased music, movies and other iTunes media is permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it and can't be transferred to another ID.  (Your purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud under the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    Hello reallilybart,
    Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
    First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
    Export a calendar’s events
    In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
    Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud.  Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar.  The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
    Use these steps to import the calendar events:
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.

  • How can I change a calendar from an iCloud account to another account?

    I am trying to move a calender from a icloud account to another icloud account, how can I do that?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

  • I am trying to set up my new replacement phone and the iCloud account is using my old email that is no longer activated, so I am not able to reset my password in order to set up messaging, etc. What do I do??

    I am trying to set up my new replacement phone and the iCloud account is using my old email that is no longer activated, so I am not able to reset my password in order to set up messaging, etc. What do I do??

    Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.

  • Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
