Why my photos get shared with my wife iPhone

Any pictures I take using my iPhone 5S, it get shared with my wife iPhone and vis versa. Why ?

Likely because you are both using the same Apple ID? (and have Photo Stream or iCloud Photo sharing on https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/photos/ )
If you are using the same Apple ID you may want to consider changing that. It is now a bit more flexible to use separate ids with new Family Sharing features: https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/family-sharing/

  • My incoming phone calls are being shared with my wife's phone as well both phones are receiving the same call show do I correct?

    Iphone question
    my my incoming phone calls are being shared with my wife's IPhone as well, both phones are getting the same call, how do I correct?
    thanks

    That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.
    You may also want to look into using separate Apple IDs for you and your wife. That is now more flexible with new Family Sharing features: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

  • My ipad2 is getting lazy with the wifi. On any router it doesn't get the signal by itself, unless I'm so close that the pad and the antenna are touching. Other solution, to turn off and on again the wifi button on the iPad. This strange behavior is new...

    My ipad2 is getting lazy with the wifi. On any router it doesn't get the signal by itself, unless I'm so close that the pad and the antenna are touching. Other solution, to turn off and on again the wifi button on the iPad. This strange behavior is new, before my iPad was blazing fast at getting any known wifi connection. Sme help please ??

    it sure sounds like the battery is defect

  • Add to a Photo Stream shared with you

    We have set up a photo stream to share among family members. Since I created the photo stream, and then shared it with others, and did not make it public, when I go to add a photo I can see the names of the photo streams which I can choose from. So why when a family mamber who has accepted the invite and who can see the photo stream, NOT add to it? When they go to add a photo, they get no list of available streams shared with them. Am I missing something obvious here? Can multiple people not add to the same stream???

    only the owner of the shared stream can add photos to it.  Others can set up their own shared streams for you to view.

  • HT204053 Can I use iCloud to share data (music, photos, etc.) with my wife's apple ID as well as mine?

    My wife and I have separate Apple IDs for our phones.  Is there a way to access photos taken in each device through iCloud without having to sync each device manually.  I would like to be able to share photos without having to sync each time.

    You can share photos with your wife with iCloud's "Shared Photo Stream" option (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379), but you cannot share music files between different Apple ID's.

  • Sharing with the wife (NOT sharing the wife!)

    I would like to have a common shared address book and calendar with my wife.
    Here's the history...
    Have had a .mac/MobileMe/iCloud account all the time on my home Intel iMac (running Lion) and iPhone 3G/4 and iPad 2.
    I gave my wife my old iPhone 3G when I gt the 4. I left the 3G hooked up to my Mobile me account to the current moment as my wife used most of my contacts and liked my apps.
    We have separate accounts on the one home iMac. I already share my iTunes library and iPhoto library across the two accounts by storing them on external drives.
    Now my wife has gone and got an iPhone 4S and want to start using it properly with her own apps within her own account. I assumed she needs her own separate Apple ID iCloud acccount so I set her up with one to use within her account on the iMac and her iPhone. Fine. However we would still like her to share and syc and be able to edit/append/delete from my iCloud address book and calendars.
    1) Is this possible and if so, how do I configure the iMac accounts and devices?
    2) Or, does she have to use my Apple ID within her iMac account and only select to sync address book contact and calendars?
    I'm hoping it is 1) but will settle for 2) if that's the only way.

    I believe you cannot sync calendars between two Apple ID's but if you both have an Apple ID that means you both have iCloud (She might have to set it up still) once you both have iCloud make sure you enable it in both of your Mac and your iPhone settings. Then whever you create a new Calendar event you will see a place where you can invite people, type in your wife's email she used with her Apple ID it will then send her an invitation and she can accept it. Once she accepts it, it will be added to her Calendar.

  • Problem (sometimes) with home wifi iPhone 4S

    Hi everyone, I have a problem with my wonderful iPhone 4S 16Gb. I have been experiencing this problem since the beginning and i heard it was going to be fixed with the iOS 5.1, but it didn't happen.
    Now, my iPhone connects to the wifi without problems, and it works great. Then, if i lock it and leave it on the desk, after a while it disconnects. Then, sometimes it reconnects as soon as i unlock it, sometimes i have to reconnect manually (settings -> wifi and then i can choose my home connection) but sometimes, at this point, when i touch my connection it says "unable to connect". I have to wait roughly 5 minutes before it manages to connect again to the wifi network.
    I looked for a solutions in this forum but i couldn't find a situation that was the same as mine.
    ps: i have no problem with other wifi connections at my friends' house or at school.

    Yeah from your description this definietly sounds like you have a router problem.  When you are able to connect at home do you get a full set of signal strength bars?  And do they stay full?  Of do they jump up and down with the phone sitting still on the desk? If you get signal strength bars goind up and down this points to a router issue.
    You can start by restarting your internet modem and then your router to see if this helps, but if it stays the same, you either need to update your router's firmware or get a new router.  I would go the firmware update route first as this is very easy to do and usually free.

  • I cannot open i photo since sharing with facebook.   why is this?

    What do I have to do to open i photo on my computer?  I can acces my photos with facebook or to email, but cannot go into i photo to edit or viw specific albums etc.

    Well most people just click on the icon. I'm going to make a guess and say that's not working for you. But what does happen i you try? Any error messages? Anything at happen at all?

  • Can I do home sharing with my wife's computer/iPad even if I don't have the same Apple ID as she has?

    We have tons of cachets and air TV and I would like to get them all connected. All catchets are set up using either my wife's or my Apple ID. Yet or home sharing it says that one has to log in with the same Apple ID. Hence, can I log in with my device (registred with my Apple ID) using my wife's Apple ID without messing up my Apple ID credentials?

    Make sure you changed the ID that you are using for iMessage.  Open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>Accounts, select your iMessage account on the left, then check the Apple ID to the right.  If it's your Mom's, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.
    You can only add a phone number if you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage on an iPhone.  If you are, the phone number should automatically be added when you sign into the ID.

  • Cannot view photos to select photos(for sharing with Facebook)...after upgrading to Lion

    So your on Facebook and you want to change your photo or just share a photo; well in Lion that is not happening (or any other sharing site). When I am in the box from Facebook where it is asking to select photo...I click pictures...then I am offered iPhoto Library. If I click it then (ofcorse Safari stalls or crashes) because it is trying to open up the entire App iPhoto. Before the Lion upgrade I clicked photos and scrolled to the iPhoto file and it presented me with a ist and I chose the photo I wanted.
    Need some help here...

    When in an upload window use the media browser - look in the lower left under Media ==> photos ==> iPhoto - you do not go directly into the iPhoto library

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
