Why do recent contacts from other devices show up in messages

I share iCloud with other devices, how do I stop their recent contacts from showing up in my iMessages? I have everything turned off in iCloud.

Delete your iCloud account and set  up a new one with a different Apple ID than the other devices.  Unless you want to share data between different devices, each one should have its own iCloud account, with different Apple ID.

  • Hacked Apple id email stating recent download from other device

    Got an email pop up from Apple saying that my Apple ID had been used to buy Texas Hold Em.
    Never given out my address NOR my password.
    " it stats that Texas Hold Em Pro Series from the App store was downloaded from a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that apple ID "
    So straight away changed my password and enetered for the two step verfication.
    I had some pre paid balance on my account, luckly it was a free app. The email states that my ID was used in CANADA.
    Living in the UK and knowing who i share my account its clearly not me.
    Is there anyway to lodge or send APPLE anything to state that this has happened.
    As stated the person that somehow got my details downloaded a free app,  i then changed my password and went through all my ID on the apple site to check everything was not changed or editied.
    I have signed in and out of the app store to check if they have since got access to my account.
    Now what is the next step to take. Im not happy about it but i do realise these things happen.
    If anyone or someone could direct me inn helping me take the correct step that would be great

    This has happened to me several times.  It is typically a free app, and it is for an email address I used to have as my Apple ID (when I got my first iPod shuffle).   I've since updated my Apple ID email so I was surprised to find the old one referenced.  I went to the apple site and found an option to "merge" the two, so I did, and I changed my password.  I thought that would take care of it, but I got another email today.
    On the one hand, I'm not super worried because the apps are free; on the other hand, I am worried because I don't know who is doing this and onto what device.  If anyone has any tips, I'd be very happy to hear them.

  • Two devices synced, but firefox will not show most tabs from other devices.

    I have had my laptop and my PC synced forever. Up until a week ago when I clicked "tabs from other devices" it would show me all of my tabs from the other computer, and if I closed one or opened a new one it would show up in the list almost instantly. Now all of a sudden when I click show tabs from other devices it will only show one or two of the tabs I have open on the other computer and ignore all the rest. No matter what I do I can only get it to show like google and facebook. Everything is still synced properly, bookmarks and all that jazz work fine. It's just the show tabs from other devices that isn't working, and that's the only feature I care about. If your suggestion is to make a new sync profile, don't bother responding, as that is not the problem or the solution.

    Hi tdkevin,
    This is strange you were not asked to try the new sync. As the old sync has the tab sync feature, but the new one has a new place for them. In order to move to the new sync you have to remove all the devices from the old sync and then it will allow you to set up the new one.
    In Firefox for Android
    In the new one in a new tab, tap on History, then on the bottom there are two icons: a clock and one with 4 grey squares. Tap that one and look at the recently synced tabs.
    In Firefox for Desktop
    if you have not set up the new sync the Tabs will sync every interval of time set by default in the about:config page. (search for sync interval I think). In the new one the about:accounts page will have a manage button that will take you to the preferences of sync. There you can check the Tabs tick.
    I hope this clears up the differences between the old and new. The original question though was why some tabs were syncing and others not. I do not know, we can look at about:sync-logs if you have any errors in those log files. This may help lead to some more info.

  • Sync does not show tabs from other devices

    I have two computers running Windows 8.1 and FF 26: at work, and at home. Both are synced, however, every time I want to see tabs on the other computer (History - Tabs from other devices) all I see is a blank tab. Sync settings on both are to sync everything (tabs option checked).
    Is this a bug, or is there anything else I need to do to see the remote tabs?

    Hi, yes, other items do sync (bookmarks from remote host show up instantly).
    Here's the log from the home computer (I'm trying to copy the tabs from this computer to my work computer):

    As you can see, there are some potential authentication issues, but I don't understand why would it only affect tabs sync, while bookmarks are fine. Note also that I merged all the stuff to the sync account by Sync - Manage Account - Reset Sync - Merge data from this device browser into your Sync account.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone

    How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, etc. I can see their reply on the device I was using at that moment but not on the other devices even iMessaging is turned on. Is there a way to refresh to incoming messages when one picks up one of their other Apple devices?

    Yes. If they have different iCloud accounts or if Contacts is not turned on in Settings>iCloud.

  • Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Why can´t I see other devices with Bluetooth from my Mac Mini?

    Be sure nothing is on top of the Mac Mini. BT and Wi-Fi antennas are just beyond the top. If something is onto the Mac Mini, wireless job will not be OK.

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Remove synced contacts from other iPhone

    I recently synced my wifes iPhone to my profile on my MacBook after i relaized she never set it up to her PC and had no music on it. Now my iPhone has all of her contacts as well as mine so all of the duplicates show up with two names in my phone. Is there any attribute within the contacts that would allow me to filter by the date i synced her phone or something so i can remove them from my contacts? I assume if i have any shot of not doing this manually it will be on my computer and not the phone but i thought this best fit here.
    If this helps in any way:
    phones: both iPhone5's with latest software
    computer: Macbook pro Retina with latest software.
    Thanks

    So the contacts from other people who have iPhones are missing, then all contacts dissappeared and then now the only contacts you have are the original contacts that were missing??? Am I reading this correctly?
    When this happened were you charging the device, backing up, using it in any way?
    Are your contacts connected any way to an email 'exchange' server domain?

  • Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013

    I recently upgraded from 2010 to 2013.  When the contacts moved over i cannot find all of the information like anniversary date that was in the details tab of 2010.  Is there an icon or setting that i am missing to see all of this previous information?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013, then please follow these steps: -
    After switch from Outlook 2010 to 2013, simply press
    CTRL+3 to see an overview of all your Contacts folders. If the folder is there and holds your contacts, then either the folder has not been set as an
    Outlook Address Book or Outlook Address Book Service is broken in your mail profile.
    If the contacts are not in the contact folder, then you either forgot to select the folder when creating an export, or didn’t select the folder when importing the
    PST-File. You can take a fresh copy of your backup or the pst-file that you imported from.
    Then connect to the pst-file in Outlook via:
    File > Open > Open Outlook Data File
    Now, check the contacts folder again. If you did not find your Contacts in that pst-file, you can select them all
    (CTRL+A) and move them (CTRL+SHIFT+V) or copy them
    (CTRL+SHIFT+Y) to your main contact folder.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

    Not sure. Haven't checked but maybe VZW will post another "Getting Ready" guide for the 4s like they did for the 4. You can also check the App store via iTunes to see if the current app works for the iPhone 4s. I personally didn't use backup assistant...I never liked how it worked  with my other devices (always mixed things up so contacts might have multiple listings instead of one and would place the mobile number as a home number and vice versa). iTunes syncing was quick and easy. I was coming from a BlackBerry when I got my iPhone though so I'm not sure if that's an option for the Voyager.
    If you do some searching on the VZW site, or even Google, you can still find those getting ready guides. All the same info would apply, I'd think.
    I know the info for the iPhone 4 is still available...but not sure if everything will be the same. Since iOS 5 will make it where you don't have to connect the iPhone to a computer at all there may be a way to do it without that step (which is necessary with iOS 4 if you want to use iTunes to sync contacts). You might be able to get your contacts on your computer from the Voyager and then sync them to the iPhone through the Cloud. Or...it might just be exactly the same as the current iPhone. That's why I was saying maybe they'll post another guide for the 4s. There might even be an owners manual PDF for the 4s already on the apple site. Not sure but if there is then some info would also be available there.

  • How can I Remove Recent Contacts from Messages App?

    iOS 7 had a feature I could use (found here: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/remove-recent-contacts-iphone-messages/) that would allow me to remove recent contacts from iMessage via an info tab. I used the feature to fix iMessage vs SMS issues with contacts who switch from android to iPhone or vice versa. I've since not been able to find the feature after updating to iOS 8. Does anyone know where this message option went?

    My issue is I cannot see the "circle I" info button for individual contacts, only for group messages or recently deleted contacts, the latter which changes the phone number to "other." I should have made that clear. I was once able to delete recent "saved-in-contacts" contacts using this remove from recents feature in order to restore or deactivate iMessage with that contact.
