When the cell number associated with your ipad in itunes preferences is not yours.

When looking up my ipad's serial number in itunes preferences, there is a cell phone listed with this device that is NOT MINE.
Would there be ANY REASON that the cell phone number attached to my ipad in itunes preferences is not be mine?
Considering my ipad has been missing for several weeks - could this be the cell phone number of the person who has it?
Thanks

I'm not sure just where you are seeing this phone number, but could it be the "phone" number associated with a data plan? (It's just used as an identifier for the data traffic.)

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.

  • Where can I find the phone number associated with my 3G iPad?

    How do I find the phone number associated with my iPad?  We'd like to sell it, so we want to cancel the 3G service, but the AT&T website asks for the phone number. 

    I don't have the 3G ... but is there a phone number?  Can you make phone calls with it ... I was told there is not phone service from the iPad when I get my iPad1?
    But did you check in
    Toolbox -> Phone -> My Number
    or
    Toolbox -> General -> ????
    That's where it is on my iPhone ... so maybe some variation of that on the iPad.  Most likely somewhere under Network, the third box down in General?

    How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

    If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on.  If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out.  Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct.  Then sign in on your iPad.

  • How do I change the phone number associated with my messages and facetime?  It's tied to my husband's number, and needs to be switched to mine.

    I'm trying to change the number associated with our ipad's facetime and messages to my number, not my husbands.  When I look under settings, it shows his number, but I don't see the opportunity to change or edit the number. 

    It will not send notifications for that number to that devcie if turnmed off but the number is still active if selected on other devices.
    Messages is lionked through the use of your Apple ID and any numbers or email associated to that ID can be set as notifications.
    The Phone numbers seem to be registered before email in messages and the easiest method for setup that I have found is to turn messages off on asll devices that you have under that Apple ID.
    Then start with your iphone first, turn messagaes on, wait a few minutes for it to completly register.
    Then go to the next device and do the same until complete, with each new device A prompt should come up asking if you want to associate the previous contact metyhod with this device.
    Here is a help topic from apple on messges as well.

  • How do you change the phone number associated with apple id

    I bought my wife an IPad 2 and when setting it up it said I could change the phone number later in settings.   Now when I get a text-- she gets a copy on her IPad.   I can't see where in settings to change this to her phone number.

    The phone number associated with an Apple ID is changed here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Click on manage my Apple ID and sign in. Then go to your profile and make the necessary changes.
    But your question is a little confusing. Controlling which device receives texts and Messages is done in Setstings
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive from
    Make the necessary changes there.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.
