Why are my daughters text messages on her iPod Touch coming up on my phone, as me, not her???
Help! I gave my daughter an iPod Touch, and she wanted my music on her iPod, so I set it up under my iTunes account. Now she FaceTimes and texts under my name, I guess, and my iPhone gets all her texts. I find this inappropriate and do not want anyone to think that I am the one sending these messages out! Can she have my music from iTunes on her iPod and have her own identity while FaceTiming and using whatever texting thing she uses?
She does not need another Apple ID. She does need a separate email address. For how to setup FT and Messages see:

How do I send text messages from my Ipod touch? The "send" button does not light up.
First of all, you need you have at least iOS 5 installed. Second, the person you are texting must have an iDevice with iOS 5 or higher installed. You can´t send messages to an non-iDevice. You´ll also need an Wi-Fi network to send iMessages. Hope it helped!

Is there an app on the ipod touch you can download to send text messages to non-ipod touch users?
if you are using imessages on your ipod you can only send messages to apple products suchs as ipad, iphone, and ipod touch . but if you would like to send messages to a phone that is not an apple product you can download a texting app like text + or pinger.

Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures
My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change?
HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this? -
Why are my group text messages sent as mms?
Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!!

Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??
It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this. You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices. If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to. If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account. (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod. Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge. -
After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.

what are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?
Hi,
What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
Very nice, isn't it?
And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.

JJust wondering why an email or text message cannot be sent to prepaid customers to let them know another card is needed in order to keep their service? Other carriers do this
Perhaps you can sign into your MyVerizon account online and see if the options are available, but not turned on.

How can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?
how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?
Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.
