I am hoping someone can help me with this problem I have with iMessage on my iMac.

When I text other people from this app the texts that are returned go to my daughters iPhone and the messages I write appear on her phone as if they were from her.

What do I have set wrong? :|

Have you got the correct Apple ID set in iMessage's preferences?

I think that is the reason. I know that when I use it on my MBP it shows up one my wife's iPhone. The reason I believe is because it uses the email address on the iTunes account which all of your devices are using. When i text my wife's phone number it doesn't show up but when I text her email address it shows up on our computer also. That's what I THINK is happening. I hope I've explained this well enough.

That is what is happening. The question is, what settings can I change to make this not happen.

Shouldn't I be able to set this somewhere to NOT share? with certain devices?

We have 4 iPhones and one iMac. All set up with the same AppleID. The texts from the iMac iMessage only show up on one of the iPhones.

The truth is I don't know. I'm still experimenting with it myself. Sorry.
