With new ios6 all my devices are linked message and email wise how do i seperate them?

I upgraded my iPad, and both my and my wife's phone today with the new iOS6.
Now we all are recieving eachothers messages and emails! I want all the devices seperate like they used to be in iOS5. Can I turn this linking off? I susspect it was in the initial setup after install that I linked all these devices.
Thanks

I had the same issue. With my son and my phones. We both updated to ios6 and were receiving each others text messages. We are on the same apple ID account. To correct this, I went into settings on my phone and disabled iMessage. Also, he was able to set up a separate iCloud account while still being under our shared apple ID account. This should prevent shared messages and shared contacts as well. Just a couple of ideas. Hope it helps.

HT1311 Though i am signed into Apple ID with new credentials (all correct) the iMessage shows my old email address

I can therefore not sign in
Any suggestions please?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue of recovering the old Apple ID.

Updated my AppleID account info. Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings. I need to update that email address, how do I do that? Thanks!

Thanks for the help Niel. I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions. After numerous guesses, finally got them right. Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info. Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again. Thanks for the fast response!!

All I have are exported folders from iWeb. How do I import them back. Don't have extension.

A computer was fried. We didn't copy the extension from iWeb for the website, but we did export all of the folders for each website inside iWeb. The computer had to be restored to factory settings. The website is published on Go Daddy, and all the files are accessible, I'm unable to load it into iWeb. Any suggestions? How do I get these files back into iWeb so that I can manage the websites again?

You can't. iWeb can't read or import HTML files, only create them. So, without the Domain.site file you'll have to recreate the website from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on how to use some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

I went to the apple store and they did a reset, I got all my apps back Except Pages and Numbers..how do I get them back..without paying...of course.

I went to the apple store and they did a reset on my iPad...I was able to restore all my apps Except Pages and Numbers...those don't appear on my purchased apps at the App Store...how do I restore them...without paying for them again..of course.

If you go into iTunes and sign in and then try to download them again it will let you redownload them. Just make sure you're signed in with the apple ID you used to buy them in the first place.

All my photos are now in just one event - how do I get them back?

Hi all,
New to iLife '08, just getting used to the new iPhoto and iMovie. Was trying to backup photos to an external hard drive (and I now realise doing it a stupid way) when it all went a bit wrong - think something went wrong with the external hard drive rather than macbook - and had to force quite and so on.
Wasn't too worried as I do already have a back up of everything, its just all in different places (so was trying to make one backup of everything), but when i opened iPhoto again all the events were gone.
All my photos appear to be there, but they're just in one event folder, which is kind of annoying. can anyone tell me the easiest way to fix this? Tried using the Autosplit Events thing but that splits everything into days, which isn't the way it was divided. Is there any way of getting them back to the way they were without going through it all manually and renaming and moving things? If I browse the files using finder (and Show Package Contents) they're all divided into the different folders they were in originally and the way I'd like them to be split into events, so I don't really understand. Any hints?
Apologies for the extended post.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the existing file.
or try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

Uninstalled firefox and ALL sortcut icons are gone off my laptop..HOW do I get them back?

I installed firefox and had problems with my laptop running slow so I uninsalled it andnow all icons are gone

Which icons are gone?
If you uninstalled Firefox and removed your personal data then you have lost the Firefox Profile Folder with the bookmarks and other personal data.

If you do not have a backup then that data is lost.

I lost all my notes in my iphone and ipad..how can I recover them?

How can I recover my notes in my iphone??

If you included the iPhone backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore the backup from that point of time and your contact info will be there again. But all settings and other data will also be set back to that point. The location of the iPhone backup folder is described in this article:

HT204409 Suddenly my ipad seems unable to connect to our wifi. All other devices are working normally. Have I accidentally done something or is it a fault with my ipad ?

Suddenly my ipad is unable to connect to our wifi. It buffers all the time?
All other devices are working normally. Is this a fault wityh my ipad or have I inadvertantly altered some setting?

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.

Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.

iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

With new ios6 all my devices are linked message and email wise how do i seperate them?
