Using imessage I receive the same text I sent out

I have 4 iphones using the same account and the same icloud. When i send imessages between 2 of them I receive from my own cel number the imessage I just sent out.
How can this be corrected?

That seems like a really strange case, basically equivalent to sending yourself a message. Somehow, I'm not surprised to hear that you receive it on all of your devices, including the one you sent it from.
If I understand the iMessage model correctly, sending to a phone number through the iMessage system is equivalent to sending to the associated iCloud account. That is, all the devices on that iCloud account should receive it. Apparently, that includes the originating device if it is on the iCloud account.
I get the same effect if I send to my own phone number or any of my iCloud-associated email addresses. Not sure I can call it a bug, but I can see how you might want an option to suppress it if it annoys you.

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.

I Keep Receiving The Same Text Messages Multiple Times

Every single time someone texts me, it doesn't matter who, I will receive the same message from them multiple times. At first I thought it was just them resending their message but I asked and they said no. After a few days it started happening with all my contacts that I text. Sometimes it's every other text message and sometimes it only happens a couple of times but it's extremely annoying. It got so bad that I had to bump up my plan to Unlimited Messaging just so that I wouldn't go over my limit because I think that it's counting the multiple messages! Also, I've tried updating my phone and that didn't work.
Does anyone have any tips or solutions to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Hi cbf10,
I am sorry to learn of the erratic duplicate messages you are receiving from several contacts. Let's narrow the potential issues that may be causing this behavior. Are you using a 3rd party application to send/receive text messages (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc...)? Have you altered the operating system software in any way? What is your software version, baseband, kernel and built number?
Clearing messaging data/cache as applicable may resolve the issue: Menu>Settings>Applications>ManageApplications>All>Messaging>Clear Data/Cache. Try it and keep us posted.

Receiving the same text message multiple times when person only sent it once. How can I make it stop?s from

I received the same message multiple times and the person that sends it only did it once. Also, I have trouble getting texts from non iPhone using friends.

It's actually probably a carrier (or hardware) issue on the sender's end. Tell the sender to pull the battery from their phone (or reset it if the battery is non-removable). I've seen this issue with certain HTC phones (HTC did release an update which solved the issue on my Thunderbolt). As far as I knew, I only sent the message once. However, it would show up multiple times on the receiver's phone. Pulling my battery would solve the problem for a while. It did take the software update to stop it permanently.

IMessage sends me the same text i just sent to someone else.

After upgrading to iOS 6 last night, whenever my wife or I send or receive a text on our phones, the other person gets a duplicate. In other words, when I send a text to someone, i also get the text in my messages inbox. Or when someone sends my wife a text, i get the text as well. Two different phones with two different numbers but we do share an Apple ID. Any suggestions how to stop this?

You don't need to get your own Apple IDs. If you go into System Preferences on each device, make certain that you ONLY have the email listed under FaceTime that you want that device to receive. You can both have the same Apple ID. I have had to do this with a number of iPads, iPods and iPhones among my wife and my grandchildren as we share on Apple ID. You can delete the EXTRA email address by just clicking on them.

I am receiving the same text messages that i send out to another person?

Recently activated a new iphone 5c and i send a text out but two people are receiving the text. I know it is due to our Apple Account but i can't figure out how to change this.

go to settings- messages - send and receive- select the numbers and emails you want to use - deselect the ones you don't need
Peace, Clyde

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.

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks

If you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

Using more than one web font in the same text field

I know I can do something like this when calling more than one weight in a web font:
sym.$('copy').html('Adobe | About Us')
And the word Adobe will be bolder than About Us. But what about using more than one font in the same text field? I tried this:
sym.$('copy').html('UHLIG | About Us')
Now that doesn't work and I get a SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
I then tried
sym.$('copy').html('UHLIG | About Us')
and the text rendered but whatever was selected in the font menu was what got displayed.
Is there a way around this to display two different fonts, web fonts or not, in the same field?

Hey, ladobeugm-
One thing to note is that you probably need to escape the quotes in your span tag. What you have is an issue with quotation marks - for instance, all JavaScript sees is <span style="font-family: in your first string, and only sees <span style="font-family: " in your second. Play around with escaping to see if you can get your span to work.
Hope that helps,
-Elaine

I have logged in to iMessage using my id, received the email saying i logged, but still can't use it. have I done the rgistration process correctly?

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.
