When I send an iMessage to my husband the message is duplicated on my phone.
When I send an iMessage to my husband, the message is duplicated on my phone. How do I change this?
It is possible that your husband's AppleID is somehow associated with your phone. The reason I say this is that in this document
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
the Opposite may be true regarding this section
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Soooo, if you ARE receiving iMessages across all iOS devices - see what I mean?
Make sure that YOU are signed in as in #1, and try it again.

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At -

When I send an iMessage sometimes someone else will revive the message in their email.
Why when I send an iMessage does it sonetimes get revived by another persons email
I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text? -
I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do? If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks x
Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.

when i send a imessage it sends it from the number that was on the sim before i transfered my number how do i change it to my number?
ive tried to change it in message settings but the number is grey so im unable to de-select it ?
any ideas?
cheers DanHello joinerdan,
It sounds like you are unable to change the phone number that Messages is sending messages from because it is grayed out. I recommend the steps outlined in the following article named:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

When I send my imessage sometimes it tells me that my message is sent as a text message as oppsed to an imessage and then doesnt tell me if its delievered. It just started doing this last night.How can I fix this?
This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone. If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

Are you using her Apple ID and email on your iPad? The Message app uses your Apple ID as the contact at which you can be reached.

When i send a imessage the reciever see's it as sent from my email adress why and how do i change
when i send a imessage the reciever see's it as it was sent from my email adress rather than my phone number, why, and how do i stop this?
settings -> messages-> receive at-> caller ID -> [choose your phone number]
The advantage of using your email address is so that imessages sync across your icloud devices. But if the only apple device you have is an iphone, then your phone number would be the obvious choice to pick here.
Once ios6 comes out, this situation won't matter (they're fixing the sync of imessages across devices) -
i got my daughter an iphone 4s on tmobile payg but put her tmobile contract sim in it, but when she sends a imessage the bubble is still green ( shes not happy lol) any suggestions to get it blue please .......
If you're using T-Mobile in the US, T-Mobile is NOT a supported carrier of the iPhone. Not all features will work.

Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At -

When i send an imessage to my wife, my mother in law receives it as well. How can i stop this
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.

a while back i was in a group chat and was spammed with thousands, yes, thousands of texts at once. when i started up my computer, imessage attempted to load the messages. Now, when i send a message it will show up on my phone, but i cant see it on my computer, when i hit send it just vanishes. this is an improvement from months ago however, when my messages wouldnt even send. im running 10.8.5.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
com.apple.iChat
com.apple.ids
com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup. -
Why when I send an iMessage on my iPhone/iPad, it shows up on both devices?
When I send an iMessage from either my iPhone or iPad, the conversation shows up on both devices. When I recieve an iMessage, the message is sent to both my iPhone and iPad. How do I turn this off, and stop it form happening? It's quite annoying.
What kind of email account do you have. The behavior you describe is the way a POP account will behave,. Reading the mail on one device marks it Read on that device only.
But if you have an IMAP account, reading the mail on one should should transfer down so it shows as Read on all devices. -
when I send an iMessage to other's who have iMessage my e-mail adress pop's up instead of my name when they recieve my text.. How can I fix that?
They would have to have your name in their contacts and then assign your email address to your contact. It's similar to receiving a regular text message from a phone number you do not have saved in your contacts; their phone number will show up instead of their name, but once you add them to your contacts their name will show up.
