Why is my daughter getting my texts on her iPhone and how can I stop this?

My daughter is receiving my complete texts to other iPhone users.  How can I stop this?

You're welcome. I use the same Apple ID for iCloud for three devices here in the family for simplicity. To be honest, despite others recommending against it, it makes it easier for me to track the children's phones and we have not had any issues with messages or FaceTime. And, I can track all of the devices with a single sign-in of iCloud and can lock and erase any and all with one login.

  • HT1766 Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

  • Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

    why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?  The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot.  Can anyone advise me please.  It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

    What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

  • Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

    Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
    All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
    Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
    How can I stop this data gluttony.
    Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

    Contacted support.
    They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
    Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
    Problem solved.

  • I cannot get my preferred images to remain on the desktop.  Through preferences I choose an image and it disappears each time I turn the computer off: why?  And how can I stop this?

    When I go to 'desktop' in system preferences and choose an image for the desktop, it disappears when I turn the computer off.  Why is this?  And how can I get an image to remain until I choose to change it?  It acts this way whether I click 'change' or not.

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image of a galaxy at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "Team Viewer" application has this effect, as reported by ASC user Zimmerwald. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
    According to one report, a "stuck" desktop picture setting can be fixed by changing the setting and then immediately rebooting. I can't confirm, but there's no harm in trying it.
    If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

    I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s.  How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

    Hi there martyb33,
    It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • Why does itunes 10.5 keep opening and how can I stop this annoying behavior?

    Has anyone else had this problem and do you know of a solution?

    I too have this same gamma switching/ auto contrast error in Quicktime Player and iTunes movie playback and it has been most frustrating for a while now.
    For fullscreen video playback it makes both applications completely useless for professional and private use.
    I can confirm that when the mouse is moved the effect disappears and the image quality returns to the original state. However this should not be happening and we need to get to the bottom of it for the benefit of others in the future.
    Thanks in advance! Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?

    For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
    It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

    For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
    It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
    It's infuriating!
    Currently running version 31.

  • My brother and I phone number is link together on the same iTunes and Icloud therefore I am getting all his text messages on my phone, how do I stop this? He does not even have an Iphone anymore.

    My brother and I phone number is link together on the same iTunes and Icloud therefore I am getting all his text messages on my phone, how do I stop this? He does not even have an Iphone anymore.

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
    •Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!
