Why does my iPhone ring when my iPad receives a text

Why does my iPhone receive the same texts as me iPad

Because they share the same iMessage account and the same "deliver to" address(s).  You can edit the receive addresses to be unique, but then people will need to know which one to send to to get the right device.  The whole point of iMessage is that your messages can be received on any iOS (or now OS X 10.8) machine that you set up with the same iMessage account and receive aliases.
You can also set up the devices with completely different iMessage accounts, by using different AppleIDs to create the accounts.

  • With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

    With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
    I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
    So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
    My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
    To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

    section2i:
    If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
    If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
    That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    This was driving me crazy but I've cracked it!!
    Go to: Settings, Messages, Send & Receive.  My mobile number was greyed out and wouldn't allow me to select it.  My email address was highlighted but it also allowed me to "Add An Email".  I selected my current email address and it gave me the option to delete it.  Once I deleted my email address, it automatically reverted to my mobile number!!
    Hip hip hooray.  I can relax at last.

  • Why does Messages show the wrong time I received a text?

    First of all, I use the version iOS 6.1.4, I do not like iOS 7 which is why I haven't updated it. Anyway, when I text someone and I get an Alert/Banner on my screen, it tells me the wrong time I received a text. It is off by a minute or two. It happens whether I'm texting someone without an iPhone (using SMS) and when I'm texting someone with an iPhone (using iMessage). Without upgrading to iOS 7, what can I do to resolve this issue? Just restart my phone?

    I just reset my phone, so we'll see how that works. And honestly it really doesn't, if you were asking the general person. But I'm sort of weird and I like to create conversation logs from the texts I have with my close friends, and I record the times I send/receive each text, so if it's off by a couple minutes then it's off on my log. So I mean it isn't the end of the world, it just bothers my OCD a bit.

  • Why does my iphone crash when trying to upgrade?

    Twice now I have been trying to upgrade my iphone 4 to the latest operating software and everytime it crashes leaving me with an unusable phone, last time I took it into the shop and they gave me a new phone, but tried to upgrade the new one and the same has happened.
    I have all the latest itunes.
    The itunes will now not recognise my phone (AGAIN)
    This is the most frustrating thing! .................

    I am having the same problem. It started a few days ago actually. I was using it fine today until I download the new version 5.1. Now when trying to restore I keep keeping the errors 28 and 1618.

  • Why does my iPhone ring with the 'do not disturb' button on?

           When I put the 'do not disturb' button to 'on' today, and my husband called me, the phone rang.
           Does it let 'favorites' through?
           Or is this function just not working?
           Thanks,
           Snark

           Thank you, Stedman!!
          I hope ya'll don't mind these dumb-*** questions; I really appreciate the help.
          I was browsing discussions around in here the other day, and saw that *some* replies were in the line of, 'read your manual you idiot,' but a whole lot nastier.
          If anyone gives me a reply like that, I will surely cry and melt down into a lump of humiliated goo.
           So if I'm being too ignorant here, please tell me? I spend all my time in school online right now, really don't have time to investigate other things...
           I don't want to be a pest!!
          Thanks

  • HT201365 why does my iphone 4s and my ipad turn the "find my iphone app" off on its own in icloud?

    any help would be appreciated

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • Why does my iPhone flash when I get a text message?

  • Why does my iPhone send me a copy of the text I just sent to my wife?

    I just updated to iOS 6, and now every time I send a text to my wife, I get a duplicate sent to my phone from myself. We share the same apple ID, but have for years with no problems. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • Why does my Iphone 4 sends a copy of every text to me

    Each time I send a text to my husband, I recieve a copy of the text message myself.

    Probably because you two are sharing apple id.

  • Why does my spouse have the option to receive my text messages?

    On both phones, when you go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive>YOU CAN BE REACHED AT, both of our numbers are listed.    If I check his number on my phone, obviously he would get my messages. His number is not checked.  Problem: When HE checks MY number on HIS phone, I do not get his. Rather, HE gets MY messages.     We both use my apple account, which may be the problem?      I have a 4s, he has a 5s. 

    If iMessage is activated in Settings/Messages, all text messages will be sent using Apple servers and mobile data. iMessage is not a carrier feature, it is provided by Apple.
    You will receive messages that have been sent to all numbers or mail addresses marked on your device in iMessage/Receive at.
    So, if your number is marked on his phone, he will get your messages as well (and you will too).
    Setting up his own Apple ID will separate iMessages again, because iMessage is linked to the AppleID and not the phone number, since you can also use the Mail address.

  • Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can not figure out why there is NO sound when I get a text?

    Why does my Iphone 5 ring when I get a call, but can't not figure out why it does not make a sound, when I receive a text or typing???

    Deborah,
    The solutions on here did not work for me.   I tried.....
    I have the same problem with a BRAND NEW iPhone 5c version 7.1- no sound when a text message arrives.
    (1) I have "do not disturb" scheduled correctly.   No partial moon on the main screen near the time and battery indicator.
    (2) I have the ringer icon correct with no slash.    Yes I turned the hardward mute switch to the UP position (ie the one above the + and - buttons on the left side.   I tried messaging with the bell as shown and bell with a slash and neither work.   The mute switch is not red (switch above the + volume hardware switch)     I enabled some assistant using the Settings menu.    And I press the dot (looks like a target symbol) and go to Devices and I can see what position the bell is in....either a bell with a slash or no slash.
    (3) Yes ringtones are configured for text and other. I can hear them when I am under settings > sounds.   But they do not link with the actual hardware.
    (4) I rebooted the iPhone 5c by using the button at top, slide the red bar, then pressed it again, apple came up for a minute and it seemed to be back up.
    (5) I upgraded the IPhone 5c from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using my pc and itunes.   And the upgrade was successful but did not fix the text issue.
    (6) I do not have it in airplane mode or silent mode.
    (7) I reset all settings using Setttings > General > reset > reset all settings .  this wipes settings but not data and media.
    This is really frustrating.

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.
