We have 2 iphones with different phone numbers which recently started receiving each others txts. How do we stop this?

Hello sealecliff,
This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on both devices. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

HT204053 I have multiple family members using one apple id account and all of each others information is going onto each others phones/how do i stop this?

I have multiple family members using one apple id and all of our data is going onto each others phones/how do i stop this?

Each person needs to have their own separate Apple ID along with their own separate computer user account and iTunes Library.

When I click on the firefox icon it doesn't start unless I then try and open something else - at which point it starts after the other program -how can I stop this?

When I try and open firefox -either from the start menu or desktop shortcut -it doesn't open unless I open another program first. Eg I click firefox and then say 'word' and then 'word' will open followed by firefox- not only is it a bit irritating but also means I get distracted(!) as I usually chose solitaire because it opens quickly.
Doesn't happen with other programs ...
Wouldn't open at all today until a restart - before it would restart I got an error that said firefox wasn't responding - but possibly that isn't connected as computer wasn't shut down properly the day before.

This is because the regular central Nightly channel builds is only the desktop version. The version on Nightly development channel is at 21.0a1 now actually.
You need a build that has Metro support.

Many users state they cannot get Metro version to work on 32-bit Windows anyways.
There is this running thread at mozillaZine about the Metro builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2304983

My iPhone 4 is not playing songs in order even though shuffle is off. How do I stop this from happening?

I have the shuffle option off on my iPhone 4 but when I listen to an album it does not play the songs in order. How do I stop this from happening?

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

You're going to need to figure out what application is making the noise. Start with whatever ones you've added recently. Check their settings. Or, just delete the recently added apps. You can always add them back later.

I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

You should be able to open both accounts.
I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
(With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

My family shares one itunes account. We have started receiving each others imessages

My husband, son and I all have iPhones linked to our family iTunes account. Since the update, we began to get one anothers iMessages. The problem was that under Facetime it listed all of our numbers and our email. Obviously, I don't want that to happen anymore. How do we fix it?

Each person should have their own Apple ID. They should use it with iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. It's still possible to use a shared ID for the app store and/or music store, but this is generally not a good idea as eventually, the kids will leave the nest, and when they do, you really don't want a shared credit card tied to it. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.

My iPhone contact list was appropriated and spam emails were sent to them all. How do I stop this from happening again?

How can I stop my iphone contact list from being appropriated again?

It was not, the more likely issue is that someone got access to your email contact list.
Change your passwords for all your email accounts.

Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,

Safari puts a copy of downloads onto my desktop even though i have the downloads folder specified as the save downloads to location in Safari preferences. How can I stop this from happening?

I dont' want to have to keep manually moving each download off of the desktop. The downloads folder is selected as the location where i would like downloads to go. They are downloaded there but an additional copy keeps showing up on my desktop. Help!

What are dmgs? I downloaded Microsoft Silverlight and the icon showed up on my desktop. I tried moving it to trash but it wanted to delete the whole program instead of just a shortcut. I opened the general tab in Finder's preferences and the only options that were selected to show up on desktop were External Drives and Cds, Dvds, and Ipods. THanks so much!

The following message keeps coming up on my screen and I have to close it before I can do anything "can not open connection device. How can I stop this message.

I know this is gonna be a very general tech question but you didnt say in your post.
Are you still using the device that was giving that warning?

Can my family use 'find my iphone' for each other if we each have separate apple ids? recently had to create separate ones b/c we were getting each others texts/facetimes and i read this happens when you share an apple id.

Can my family still use the 'find my iphone' app from our iphones / ipod touch to locate each others phone if we have separate apple ids? We were sharing a single apple id but recently we started getting each others texts/facetimes .. I read that this happens when you share an apple id. Will we just have to sign in with the others' apple id to locate their phone ?

Use Find My Friends app instead. Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it. They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

We have 2 iphones which recently, perhaps due to a software upgrade, started receiving each others txts. How do we stop this?
