Can I FaceTime Between My Two iPads?
I have two iPads synced to my computer, my Apple ID. My wife has one and I have the other. How can I FaceTime between the two? I have two different emails I can use, but when I try to connect with the caller ID for one email calling the other, it says I'm busy. Could there be a problem because they both use the same Apple ID?
If you add another email address as the "contact at" email address on one of the devices - you still have to remove the Apple ID email address on that device or FaceTime will still try to contact you using that email address.
After you add the new email address and it has been verified - go to the "you can be reached for FacetIme at" setting and put a check mark next to the new email address that you just added to FacetIme in order to select it as the "contact at" email address, then tap the blue arrow next to the Apple ID email address and you can delete it in the next window.
You can also simply remove the check mark in front of the Apple ID email address as well after selecting the new email address. You don't actually have to delete it.

I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.
Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

How do I set up a new Apple ID iPad2 so I can use Facetime between my iPad2 when I'm on the road and my iMac at home?
All you need is the 99 cent Facetime for Mac application on your iMac. Get it here: http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/
Instructions for setting up your iPad are in Chapter 7 of the iPad2 iOS4.3 User Guide -

My iPhone has a different id than my iPad. How can I stream between the two devices
I should say that you can add the other account to each device as a seconday account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the ID the other device is using. This would allow you to see mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes from the other account alongside the same data from the primary account on each device.

HT204380 If I have 3 devices using the same apple ID, can I FaceTime between them?
As it says on the tin.
2 x iPads and an iPhone all sharing the same Apple ID and icloud account.
Can we FaceTime between the 3 devices? .....and how. Calls drop straightaway every time: user busy.Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
Take a look at this for more information.

FaceTime between my own iPad 2 and iPhone 4?
Howdy.
I have an iPad 2 and will be getting an iPhone 4 next month. Both devices will be under my apple ID. Will I be able to FaceTime between these two devices? For sample when I am out and about with my iPhone and my wife is using my iPad from home?Absolutely. I did this just the other day. Infact, my wifes iphone is also using the same apple ID and no probs as its not the apple ID it actually uses. To facetime it uses your cell number on your phone or in the case of the ipad you register an email address. No idea what black magic it then uses but it works no probs.

IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.
No, this is not possible. It would be like dialing your own phone number. You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad. See the following link which will tell you how to do this. You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

Can I FaceTime with the first iPad?
Can I FaceTime with the first iPad?
The long answer: the original iPad does not have a camera and does not have the FaceTime app, hence you cannot do FaceTime on it.

I have an old IPad 2 and a new IPad. They are both registered to my name . I would like to leave the old one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime when I travel. I have tried this at home with the two iPads and cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas?
Hey Lft1033,
You'll want to have your husband sign up on the older iPad with his own Apple ID. First, on the old iPad, sign out of your Apple ID:
To sign out of your Apple ID
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Then, sign in with the other Apple ID, and that should work. If it doesn't work after having separate Apple IDs on each iPad, check out the following document where, towards the bottom, there is a "Troubleshooting FaceTime calls" section:

I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband. How do I change the Apple ID over to him. We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads
Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:
