We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading to IOS 6 on my phone, I now receive ALL the text messages destined to the others! What should I do to get back to "normal", without opting out of Imessages or FaceTime?

iOS 6.0.1

I'm afraid I may abuse of your generosity here, but I do have another question (that's the reason for the mistaken category of the post you answered). My daughter just arrived in her International Student residence in Europe yesterday, where internet's only available by Ethernet. She wishes to reverse-tether, from her PowerBook to her Iphone (because of the cost of using Internet on her phone over there). I found some instructions about Internet Sharing, in System Prefs, etc. "From: Ethernet, To: Airport" Enable Internet Sharing, and all...She did everything, by the book (or so, she thinks) but nothing shows on her Iphone Wi-Fi Settings when she tries to connect... I also read that it could be done with a Bluetooth PAN, but I got lost, as I tried to follow the instructions here at home, after pairing computer and Phone, with a "rude" message appearing on my phone telling me to "forget that device". Can you help?

You're very nice! As for the wifi, no, unfortunately! And it seems to be, still, a situation quite common in numerous student's residences (and it seems it's on purpose, to limit student's use). I read about it and it supposes creating a hotspot, from your Mac, and having your Iphone joining the network you've just created. She followed the instructions for: Sharing Wired Ethernet connection wirelessly (making a hotspot)

as explained here : http://www.mactip.net/share-internet-connection-mac/#ethernet-to-wifi. Obviously, there's something we've done wrong (or something's missing in the instructions) cause it's not working...

Thanks, Ralph9430, for what should be an easy and efficient solution. But the house rules explicitely prohibit using a router... And I'm told, by a friend who's in IT in a canadian university, that her router would immediatly show up on the network if she decided to get one anyway... That could get her in trouble, as she's an exchange student and will be there only for a few months, anyway. Well, it looks like the people in charge over there just failed to notice the world changed since ARPANET was first created...!😕
