Why can't I use a home sharing ID for iMessage on more than one device?

My daughter has a current gen iPod Touch.  My wife has an iPhone 5.  We would like to make sure that my daughter's iMessage messages show up on not only her iPod, but also my wife's iPhone.  However, the system will not allow us to add my daughter's home sharing email address ([email protected]) to my wife's iMessage.  Is this a system limitation?  Or is there some way to make it happen?
Thanks.

OK. Try this.
Log out of your ID in Messages and then log back in again. See if that refreshes the settings and if you get a message that your phone number is available to be used in Messages or if your phone number now appears as a choice. Select your number, then tap Next and the number will be verified.
If the ID that you are using is yours, then your phone number should also be available to use.

  • HT202213 Home sharing.  Multiple ipods and more than one user..... Do they all need seperate accounts?

    I have set my kids ipods up on home sharing.  Now when their games on each personal ipod, they are the same user.  Is there any way of changing this?  Or do I have to make each kid a seperate account and buy all of these games twice? 

    It doesn't look like anybody had any answers for me, but its no big deal as I solved it myself. The problem was dependent on the WebLogic's implementation of their security context and hence there probably isn't a generic solution. It turns out that WebLogic can associate a user object with each thread. If a thread does not have a user object associated with it, it uses the default user which is assigned the first time a user signs in. The problem was that the application thread was used to initially sign in, but the awt event thread was used to access the ejb. Since the awt thread had no context it would use the default.
    If anyone wants to know more about the exact solution you can email me at r k e n w o r t h y@h o t m a i l . c o m (pardon the spaces - hopefully they will avoid extra spam going to my account).

  • Why can't I use my Mac Book pro for cashing checks like every one else uses their iPhone and iPad? I am a grandmother and in the past 4 years I have purchased 4 MacBook Pros and 1 iPad for my children and grand children.

    I would like to be able to use my MaBook Pro for cashing checks lie the I phone and I pad. Why isn't this feature included?

    This has nothing to do with Apple.  As BobTheFisherman indicated, your bank needs to create an App for the Mac to do this.  These types of applications tend to be limited to mobile devices as they are a bit easier to maneuver for taking photos.

  • How do I use AE to allow more than one device with my cable modem?

    I connected by AE to my cable modem at my house in Japan and it works fine on "bridge mode," but only for one device at a time (this laptop, but not my iPod Touch, or vice versa). As soon as I connect a new device, it will kick the other one off. It seems that my cable modem here will only allow one device. Is there a way that I can use my Airport Extreme to allow more than one device and not have to pay the Internet provider extra for multiple IP addresses? How do I go about this? Do I select "share a public IP address" or do I select "distribute a range of IP addresses?" I tried these options but obviously wasn't doing it correctly, because then I lost the connection for everything... Thanks!

    It would be best if you "hard reset" the Airport Extreme to clear out the old and conflicting settings and then reconfigure it again.
    Hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding for another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button. That will get the Extreme back to the original starting point.
    After you have powered the modem back up after the full reset, you will need to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again. If you are using he guided setup in AirPort Utility, you will choose the option to "create a wireless network" during the setup.
    If you are using the Manual Setup, the Wireless Mode will be "Create a wireless network" and the setting for Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address". Adjusting the Connection Sharing setting would be the last thing that you do before you click Update to save settings.
    Here, I am assuming that you have a simple cable modem (it will have only one ethernet port), correct?

  • Why won't my Time Capsule allow me to connect more than one device to the network at a time?

    Ok here is the shortest story I can come up with...
    Several months ago lightening struck my house and ruined the power cord for my old AIR PORT EXTREME....after replacing the power cable my wireless network began to prohibit more than one device at a time to connect to the wireless network.
    I replaced that network with a new TIME CAPSULE and it is doing the same thing.  I took my old AirPort Extreme to my work and it works like a charm.  My ISP says it is an Apple problem but I have had the same settings both at home and at work.  Work is great, multiple devices connect but home is one at a time and in order to connect ANOTHER device I have to power down one, and reboot the router and fire up the device I wish to connect.
    Any suggestions?

    I am running off a Fiber line....the unit that is a battery back up and appears to be a modem as well is called CyberPower CS24U12V-NA3
    Techincally, there is no "router" in my house, there is a LOCKED control box outside, a battery back up module in the garage that shows battery life and connection, then a cat5 outlet in my laundry room..All of which was installed by my ISP.
    I am using a 2TB Time Capsule running DHCP in Bridge Mode.  I can't find the software version but updated it while installing it within the last two months.
    Under Network Tab
    Enable NAT Port mapping is checked
    Under the Wireless Tab
    we have a 5ghz Network
    Radio mode is set to:  802.11a/n-802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
    2.4 GHz is Auto
    5 Ghz is Auto
    I hope this helps....

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

  • How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

    jhb3243
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
    a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
    b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
    If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
    I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
    Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
    Thanks.

  • More than one device is using the same email. Help!

    I use to have an Iphone in the summer but now its disconnected and i left my apple ID signed into my Imessage. I gave this phone to mom and now i have a new Iphone with the same Apple ID signed into my imessage. The other phone is still disconnected but I am 100% sure she is recieving my messages and I can't get a hold of the other iphone. Is there something i can do to my current iphone so she can stop recieving the messages? Will changing the email that i recieve messages at help? or changing the password to my Apple ID? Please help.

    I will restate what is happening.
    Network:
    House; internet to wireless router BEFW11S4 (wireless=off, DHCP=on), 5 computers wired in plus one wireless bridge WET11.
    The bridge talks to a second wireless router in the office (100 feet away).  Wireless=on, DHCP=off, different address!  There are 3 computers there.
    This has worked for years!  There is a third wireless router with wireless=off, DHCP=off and with a different address that is used for a hub.
    Now people come with laptops and want to use wireless. If any of the routers have wireless=on the network crashes with “more than one device with same address”.
    To troubles shoot; I reduced the network down to 3 pieces.  Router in house, 1 computer and the WET11 bridge.  All have fixed addresses!  If I set wireless=on (router), then the bridge and the wireless router communicate wireless and communicate via cat-5.  The network crashes.
    For a test; I connected all three routers together with wireless=on then the bridge talks to all three via wireless and via cat-5 wire. I tried WEP with different pass phrases on each router and different frequencies.  My bridge will talk to all routers it can find on any frequency with any pass phrase.  It may not be able to pass files but it can find all the computers. 
    I believe the router wakes up and sees; 
    its self 192.168.123.254, computer 192.168.123.100 and a bridge 192.168.123.225
    The bridge sees a new network with:
    Router 192.168.123.254, computer 192.168.123.100 and bridge 192.168.123.225
    And that bridge sees a new network with:
    Router 192.168.123.254, computer 192.168.123.100 and bridge 192.168.123.225
    “feed back”
    I really want the bridge to talk to router 192.168.123.253 (office) but not talk to .254 on the same switch/hub (house).
