When someone calls me, all my devises ring together in my family.

That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off on each device.
You may also want to consider or investigate using separate Apple IDs for each family member.

My wife and I both have iPhones recently when someone calls her phone mine also rings. How do I stop this?

Both my wife and I have IPhones (5C and 4S). For some reason for the last several months when someone calls one of our phones it rings on both phones. It seems to have started with the OS updates but that may be a coincidence. Is there a way to stop this?

So if I turn off IPhone Cellular calls this will eliminate the problem? As I read it the double ringing only occurs when we are signed in and the phones are close and connected to WIFi.
Correct, I wouldn't lead you astray with a false response. It happens because you and your wife are using the same Apple id for facetime - which you shouldn't do, either you or her will need a separate id for facetime.

My ipad automatically tried to update skype to version 4.1.1 It has been showing installing for 3 days and says waiting on the icon. It will not allow me to delete the app. When someone calls me on skype it rings but turns off as soon as I try to answer.

My ipad automatically tried to update skype. It has been installing for 3 days and the message waiting is on the icon. I am unable to delete skype to try and re install. I have gone to the licence page but there is nowhere that I can agree the terms as it is still trying to load.

delete the app on itunes (on PC) then download it again.

I'm having trouble facetiming. I live in mexico and I don't know if that is the problem. Everything seems to be in order, it rings on my end when I call someone but it doesn't get through to them. Same is true when someone calls/facetimes me.

When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong?

When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong.

You share the same Apple ID and in iOS 8 there is a new feature, which if you didn't share the same ID, you can answer a call on another device if one is another room as long as they are both on iOS 8. To stop this, go to Settings > Facetime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls. That will stop this for you.

After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
I read this link

and I try dial *#31#, it help, but not permanent solution.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account.
How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Ringer and alert messages won't play on iPhone 4 when someone calls or sends a message, just vibrates.

Hello, I updated my iPhone 4 and after updating it to 5.0.1, all my sounds won't play, it vibrates when someone calls me, but it will not ring, or notify if there is a new message, however when I go to setting n tap the song to preview it, it will play, what happened to my phone this has never happened before I updated to ups 5.0.1, I already turned it off and back on but still no good, please help.

Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Anyway to solve this problem?

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?

Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:

Ok so I just updated my I Phone4S with the new OS7 software.. A problem is now occuring: when someone calls me their phone rings 3 to 4 times before my phone rings. Does anyone know why ? Or how to fix this.. This is New..

Like my header says.. I have a I Phone 4S.. with recently installed OS 7 software.. One problem has occured.. when someone calls me thier phone rings
3 to 4 times before my phone rings.. I have tested this with several family and friends calling me..
> I have a business this is unacceptable.. does anyone have a solution thanks...

If this were happening to me I would try resetting the System Management Controller. Next step would be to take it to an authorized service place.

When I get a message it only vibrates even though all sounds are on and when someone calls the sound works perfectly normal.

Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). If that doesn't work, perform a Restore via iTunes (from backup).
