Why are my messages going to my old phone?

i got a new phone tye other day, but my text from iphone users are still showingg up on  my old iphone (4).  so, at this moment i have:
1. cleared data and cache o  the new phone.
2.changed my apple id password
3.erased old pbone to factory settings.
help.please.

Are the messages that are going to the old phone being sent to the Apple ID possibly? On the new phone, when you go into Settings>Messages, is iMessage activated? If so, and you go to Send & Receive, is the phone number gray and checked? If it is, is there a checkmark by anything else? What about the settings on the other device? Why do you have the other device on? Is it being used like an iPod?

  • 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

    As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

  • Why are there lines going across the screen?

    Why are there lines going across the screen?

    It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
    My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
    It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
    Good luck!

  • Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

    Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

    Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
    When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

  • How to stop messages from going to your old phone when you get an Andriod

    Hey,
    So this isn't a question since i have the answer i just figured this out today and saw no answers for my case so i'd figured i'd post a solution i found.
    In my instance i got the a new phone, Android, and the iMessages were still going to my old iphone. I restored the phone and took out the sim but messages still wouldn't go to my phone.
    Every thread says in order to fix you have to go to settings in the phone... BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR PHONE ANYMORE!
    Here's your answer:
    Go to apple.com and sign into your ID account on your computer. Go to the phone number settings. Delete your phone number. Save. And then for extra security change your password. Then turn your new phone off and back on and ask a friend who as an iPhone that hasn't been able to contact you to text to you see if it worked. It worked for me and i hope this works for you because this sh*t was frustrating.
    Thanks,

    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/directToSignIn?loc alang=en_US
    Go the the above
    Sign in. Go to the left side where it says phone numbers. Delete your number. Then save.
    Your iPhone friends will now get the red exclamation point that the message didn't deliver instead of it sending. Then your iPhone friend will force the message to go through as a text by long pressing the message and choosing send as text. Once tthey do that once you're set and all other messages will automatically send as texts for them to you. You just have to hope your iPhone friends realize to force the messages through as texts the first time around  but even if they don't at least they know they aren't reaching you and you aren't ignoring them.
    Does that help?

  • Why are i messages not delivered?

    Why are some I messages not delivered?

    Imessages is only for use between Apple devices that are registered for Imessages.
    It is not a standard SMS/MMS system like on cellular phones.

  • Why are my messages getting deleted?

    My older text messages from one contact keep getting deleted. How do I stop this and why is it happening?
    I know for a fact there are many messages before where the conversation appears to begin on my phone.

    I can't help it if I was lied to & scammed.
    If your posts are being deleted, it is because they are in violation of the Terms of Use (https://discussions.apple.com/___sbsstatic___/apple/tutorial/tou.html), which you agreed to when you signed up here, even if you didn't take the time to read them.

  • Why are my deleted songs back on my phone but not in my itune library

    After I did the 7 update, all my really old songs that have long since been deleted have shown up in my music library again, but they are not in my itunes library on my computer for my to delete again. Why are they suddenly back and how do i get rid of them?
    Thanks for your help!

    I had the same problem. This is what I did,
    1. Go to settings
    2. Scroll down until you find Music
    3. Tap on Music
    4. Scroll until you find Show All Music
    5. Switch it off (if it's green then switch it to turn it white)
    That's what I did and when I go to my music library it only shows the ones i havent deleted.
    I hope this helps

  • BBM request going to my old phone

    I recently swapped phones with my wife. We did phone wipes, and put our own blackberry ID's on our new phones. However, all BBM requests from friends still go to the old phone, and when I send a BBM request to my wife it comes up on my phone (which is her old phone). My service provider is unable to resolve the issue.

    Are you sending the requests to email addresses or to PINs? Make sure that your friends have your new PIN (not the old one) and make sure that you move your email addresses to the new devices.

  • Why are deleted messages not going to deleted folder

    In Account settings > server settings I have set it to move deleted messages to a particular folder but thunderbird appears to be permanently deleting messages as I can't find them anywhere.
    This is with an IMAP account.

    What messages? iMessages? Mail?

  • Kin TwoM- why are long messages split up?

    I just got the Kin TwoM, and I noticed that my longer texts are being sent as many separate texts...much like it used to be when an AT&T user would text you a long message. Is there some sort of setting or way around this? Last thing I need is irritating people by being THAT GUY who sends messages like that.

    My phone is only a couple of days old so I've been reading the manual and it states:
    Type message to open the text box and type your message. You can type up to 800 characters.
    My messages are also being split up when I know I am not doing a hard return and have nowhere near 800 characters.  I'm not sure what's going on here but I'd also like an answer.  I just checked the manual and it clearly states an 800 character allowance.  I wonder if it has something to do with the limitations of the receivers device?  Too bad I can't forward one of "those" broken messages to myself to see.  There is also no copy paste option that I can find so I can paste one in a new message to myself.  Any clues?
    I know I've sent messages to a Droid 2 with a 160 character limit so maybe it's not our device at all it just fragments it into the correct character limit for the receiver?

  • Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

    I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though.  How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer?  thx

    Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
    I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.
