Why are my iMessages showing on my brothers iPad?

Why are all my iMessages that I send from my iPhone 4 to my boyfriends iPhone 4s showing on my brothers iPad? We do not share an apple ID! He can send a message from his iPad to my boyfriend and then it shows on both phones that I am the sender when I have not sent anything. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Abbey
Jon is correct, you have either signed into iCloud with the same ID on both devices or you have associated the same email address as an alias between them.  Sign out of iCloud / iTunes / Appstore on both devices then sign-in seperately and that should resolve it.  In the mean time, keep the messages as clean as possible.
Best Regards

  • Why are my imessages showing up as my email adress to one of my contacts but not the others?

    When I use imessage there is one contact in my phone that recieves my messages from my email address... everyone else recieves them from my number exept him.  I want to be able to use my imessage without it going as my email to him.

    The problem is you are both using the same Apple ID.
    You should each have your own.
    Check the settings here:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > remove the number that doesn't belong
    This will fix the message problem but using the same Apple ID will also merge all iCloud items enabled on the device here:
    Settings > iCloud
    Such as:
    Contacts, calendars , reminders, pjjotos, bookmarks, etc...
    It can get quit messy. It is always best to use your own Apple iD if for nothing else but iCloud.

  • Why are my iMessages coming through on my iPad but not coming through on my iPhone. Can I have the texts appear on both devices.

    I am receiving texts from my son's iPhone on my iPad but not on my iPhone. Can I receive the same message on both my iPad and iPhone?

    Found a fix on another thread that seemed to work.
    Go into Messages preferences and uncheck "enable this account."  Wait a few seconds, then recheck it.
    Also disabled and re-enabled imessages on my 4S just for good measure.
    Hope this helps

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off.  If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

  • Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

    Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

    When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly.  For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • TS1314 why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order?

    why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order? I have them organized (by numerical sequence in their file name) and they synced up on my iPad in a random order...

    On his iPad go to Settings>iCloud>Contacts>Off. When prompted to to keep the contacts on the device or delete them, choose the delete option and all of your contacts will be removed from his iPad.
    Make sure that he is no longer signed into your Apple ID in the iCloud settings and the general settings.

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.
