Hi, both my husband and I have iphones synced to my apple id. It seems that we can't facetime due to this as it's like my email address is calling my email address! Is there anyway to fix this or will we need to create a new id for my husband's phone?

settings - facetime - remove the apple id, on your husband phone.
He should create his own id for imessage and facetime.

  • HT204053 both my wife and I have iphones but only one apple ID

    we share my apple id for all apps and music, but she wants her own email (i gues now it would be an icloud account?) as I still have a .mac account, but she doesnt want to have to set up a new credit card, or loose the music and apps we already have.  I realize this may be basic, but I could use your help, any ideas?

    She can create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and sign into System Preferences>iCloud with that instead of the existing one; but continue to use the existing one for iTunes.

    Both my wife and I have iPhone 5 and we use Siri a lot. Ever since we upgraded to IOS 7 we found that frequently we get a reply from Siri something like "This is embarrassing but I cannot handle a request right now". Prior to IOS 7 this did not happen.

    tonefox is probably right.  Server overload.  I also notice that when siri does respond correctly, it is slower.  My wife has a 4s and same story, and she has not upgraded to IOS 7.
    So it's not just you (if that makes you feel any better).

    For starters, you should not be using the same Apple ID. Are you?

  • I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id.  Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

    You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

  • I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

    I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?  I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
    Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
    Apple ID
    Possibly (likely)
    Possibly (depends when Registered)
    More currently Yes.
    No
    No
    Yes
    Glad I could help.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have iphones now. My apple ID went good. My wife tryed to use the same email address as her apple ID. The screen on her iphone said that she could but the option that she was supose to click on was not one of ther options. COTINUE w

    My wife and I got iphones. Igot my apple ID set up fine. Having trouble setting up my wifesw. We only have 1 email account. The instructions say to use youe email account as your apple ID. I have done that. My wife tryede to enter the same apple ID. The instuctions say you can. It says press use the same. Then press continue. The only problem is that continue is not an option that is on that screen? Please help me  with some good and easy fixes. THANKS

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • I created an apple id and password  on my laptop, will i be able to sign in the game center on my iphone using the same apple username and passcode or will i need to create a new one?

    Can I use my appleID I created on my laptop to use the game center on my Iphone?

    Hi Sanfran49,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use the Apple ID you created on your laptop with Game Center on your iPhone. See the Apple ID FAQs for more information:
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.

  • My I Phone got an update and I have now lost my you tube, You tell me that I can down load you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    My I phone got an update and I have lost my you tube, You tell me that I can download you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    YouTube is no longer native in iOS.  There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend.  There is a YouTube app in the App Store.  Download it and you'll have YouTube.
    You can NOT get rid of Passbook.  It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS.  If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native.

  • I need to create a NEW folder for bookmarks, not add to an existing one. I've been looking for over 2 hours and can only find the latter. Also, if possible, I'd like to remove a redundancy on my Bookmarks Toolbar. Thank You!

    I am working on many projects and my bookmark folders suffice. I need to create new folders, but not "Smart Folders." After over 2 hours, I keep coming back to the same description of how to add new folders to existing ones. NOT what I want to do. This used to be easy, but the set up must have changed as I've been trying to do this all day with no success.
    Also, somehow my gmail inbox appears twice in my bookmarks toolbar. Again, I am finding information that does not apply to me in help and former question files and links. How do I remove things from my bookmarks toolbar?
    Thank you and PLEASE, oh Please e-mail the answer to me as I seem to have problems with your site.

    Open the Bookmarks Library, to do that in the Bookmarks menu select "Organize Bookmarks"
    In the Bookmarks Library, in the left hand pane click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" to select it, now in the Organize menu select "New Folder".
    If you have the capability to right-click, you can also right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select New Folder.

    iTunes account and Apple id are different ways of referring to the same thing - you should be able to use your existing account

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • TS3899 I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone.  The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Hey there Fabian, 
    If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:
    About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

  • Both my Husband and I have iphone 4's....

    Both my Husband and I have iphone 4's and i use my laptop regularly to sync my phone to it and have completed the upgrade to the new ioS5. However he does not have a laptop to sync and update his phone to the new ioS5. Can we share the same laptop to do the upgrade?

    I am not an expert, and had my own trouble so I was hanging out on this forum - new iPod AND iOS 5 upgrade debacle plus the new iTunes 10.5. Too much to absort.
    I would setup your S.O. with their own user account on the laptop.
    Backup etc their content as normal that way as if it was first time.
    Seems like it should work.
    The only area where might be a question and confusion is if you both used the same Apple iTunes IDs, if you try using iCloud.
