On your MIL's device go to Settings>Messages> Send and Receive and delete the email address you are calling. Add her own email address if she wants to use Messages and here own is not listed.

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

You are apparently both using the same Apple ID. Change her to a different Apple ID and this will stop.

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart.

Since updating to ios 6 messages that are being sent to me are also coming through on my husbands phone. how do i stop this from happening?

since updating my iphone 4s with ios6 messages that are being sent to me are also being sent to my husbands iphone4. how do I stop this from happening?

Do you have separate apple Ids? If not, set up a new Id for one of you. Ios 6 uses the apple Id to send messages across devices, that may be the issue you are having.

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

I just updated my husbands phone to ios8 and also mine. When I did his, now everytime I text him, i get the same text message from myself. I also get his text messages that he sends.

I updated my phone to ios8 by connecting to my computer. I then updated my husbands phone to ios8. Since then, I get every message he sends (as an imessage) and I also get my own messages back when I send him a message (text). I connected them to the same computer. I have now changed it so we have different apple id's, but at the time, it was the same. HELP!

Stop using the same AppleID. That's why you're getting each other's messages.

My pictures are good quality when I take them with my iPhone 4 camera bit when I send them via mms or post on Facebook they loose a lot of quality. How can I fix this problem?

When I take photos whit my IPhone 4 camera the pictures look great but recently when I send pictures to friends or try posting them on Facebook the photos loose their quality dramatically and the ones that I sent all look blurry and bad compared tothe original. Please somebody help! I always take pictures with my iPhone and send or post them and this problem is restricting me a lit. Thanks for your help :)

when I could open iPhoto the library had tripled... photos from years ago from my iPhone and iPhoto had somehow come back onto it (even though I deleted them), the "faces" files had turned into their own photos, photos tripled (some smaller versions some bigger), and loads of random clip art and images I had never seen was on it. There was over 40,000 photos. It was so weird
Nothing weird. That happens when you import one iPhoto Library into another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
As for deletions:
Drag the image from the Event to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then Empty the System Trash. That removes it from the hard disk.
If that has failed in the past it was due to the Library being corrupted.

For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

When I try to go to the photo gallery to choose a picture to send to my email address by using my Iphone it can't send or receive messages. Yahoo password is being asked which I have forgotten. How can I correct this?

With my my I phone as I try to choose a picture from the photo gallery to send it via email using my Iphone, I can't seem to send nor receive messages anymore. It is asking for my yahoo password. What password will that be as I have forgotten it. I know what my personal password on my yahoo address when I go to a regular laptop or desktop but with Iphone I am unable to to retrieve this password because it does not give you an option to change a password. What shall I do to correct this problem?

It's the same password. Go to settings - mail - yahoo - enter the password for your incoming and outgoing mail server.

When I turn on my MacBook Pro a box prompts up and it disappears right away. How can I stop this from happening?

I'm new in the Mac World. In November I bought a MacBook Pro. I love my MacBook, however, a couple of days ago when I turn on my MacBook and log in, a window or box prompts up for about one second and then dissapears. I'm afraid that may be a virus or trojan that may be running behind the screen. How do I fix this? Are there any applications that I can run to detect what is happening to my computer.
Thank you for your help!!!

It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!!

Re when the iphone 4s sleeps it disconect the wifi an conect 3g how can i stop this

i want to stop consuming 3g and when de iphone sleeps it disconcect wifi and i have to pres the button to conect it please help me to stop this

There are only 2 ways to do this. The first is to turn off Cellular Data (Settings/General/Network). The second, and better alternative, is to plug the phone into a power source. It will not disconnect from wifi when plugged in.
If your concern is cellular data usage while phone sleeps, be sure to close all apps that might use data, as soon as you are done with them. To do this, double click the home button. All open apps will show across the bottom. Press and hold one until they begin to wiggle. A little red dot with a minus sign will appear at the top left of each app. Tap it to close the app. A very small amount of data will continue to to be sent, as the phone maintains cellualr contact.
