While my friend was setting up his iphone, i used my icloud. So now, when i send him a message i get the exact same message from myself. How do i fix this?

While my friend was setting up his iphone because i had recently updated it for him he needed a itunes account to use for "bump" so i could transfer his contacts back. So i used my itunes and icloud account to sign in so he could download that because he didnt have any of those accounts. So when i logged in he was basically me, my name was his phones name aswell. Well i used "bump" his name was the same as mine. I got the contacts to work but now every time i send him a text message, (imessage) i get the exact same message from myself. How to i unverify him off of my icloud so i can be the only one using it?

The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

    That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
    Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now?

  • I accidentally deleted all the files inside Quicktime, and now when I try to import to iMovie it won't let me...how do I fix this?

    How do I get them back? It's from the Quicktime that already came with my Mac...please help me...It won't let me import movies to iMovie!!

    What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
    Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
    Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
    This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
    a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
    b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
    c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
    d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
    e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
    f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
    g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
    h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
    i) Perian.component (Perian)
    j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
    The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
    At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
    Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

  • When I'm watching a movie on itunes, the video keeps messing up. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to watch a movie on my itunes. My ipod isn't plugged in or anything, just itunes. But when it plays, the picture keeps freezing. The audio continues, but the scene just freezes and after a few seconds it catches up with the audio and it does this every other second. The video works perfectly on my ipod touch (but I would like to watch it on a much bigger screen, my laptop) and the video also works fine on QuickTime Player (QuickTime won't go full-screen for me for some reason) so nothing could have gone wrong with the download. The movie's in HD so that may be it. If so, is it possible to watch it in a lower quality so as to avoid constant freezing?

    i Founfd this exact behaviour with 1080p mivies on my machine. I redownloaded as 720p and all was fine. I think my computer is getting a little dated.
    If this is true for you then Select Preferences, Store and When downloading High Definition videos, prefer and select 720p. Then red donload form the Purchased link under Quick Links in iTunes Store

  • I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

    I have an iphone 4 and do not appear the weather in central notification ios7. how can I fix this?

    I figured it out.  You have to have location services turned on specifically for the native weather app.  My husband already did and that's why his was working.  In the previous ios, I chose to disable location services to save battery and had the widget set to show weather for my home city regardless of where I was.  Now that doesn't appear to be an option.  Hopefully it won't drain my battery too much.

  • I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks

    I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks

    Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone.  If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts).  To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account.  Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device.  Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

  • I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I have an iPhone 4s

    I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!

    If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

  • HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

    My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

    I have the new iPad . I don't know how my sister's apple ID was set. I have all under my iTunes account but when i need to update my apps, a different apple ID come up! how do i change that?

    Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

    That's because there are not enough apps that use Passbook yet. Wait.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.
