You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.

    FaceTime is free to use. You will not be charged for using FaceTime.

  • If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
    If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
    Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

  • When i try to make a face time call to to my ipad from my iphone it would say , is busy at this time? ??

    if i try to call my face time call to my ipad from my iphone the call does not go trhu, it says , is busy at this time????

    Take a look at what contact info you are using fornthe call.  From the pad to the phone, call the phones number.  From the phone to the pad, it needs to be an e mail address that you identified when you set up facetime.  If you are calling from your pad, using the e mail address, and the same contact point on the phone, it will be busy.

Can you actually FaceTime the mobile number on my iPad or does it have to be to an email address???

  • TS1702 I have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods.  all 3 on the same apple id.  when one of their ipods gets a face time call , all 3 devices ring. i dont want to get these face time calls on my iphone or the other ipod .  what is the solution to this

    i have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods. all 3 on the same apple id.  when one ipod gets a facetime call, all 3 devices ring.  how do i prevent all three devices getting the facetime call as it is intended for only one of the ipods?

    You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

    I Have the same problem that you have.
    I find a trick to make it work, but it can be a little annoting sometimes.
    Turn off your Macbook and then Turn it on, and re-open Facetime
    It should work
    Hope it will help

    Dear brothers
    Thanking you so much to be interested about my answer but what I figured out is as long as you bought your iPhone from gulf or Arabian area it will not has face time application cause I think apple has made special software for Arabian areana to privent facetime according to special request by phone cells companies and one of my friends has told me if you want to make sure that your iPhone not for Arabian areana you should check the model number on your iPhone backside if it ends with 29 it means it's for Arabian countries if other numbers it's gonna be for US. Or Hongkong so it's ok
    That's all I could know if you have another solution just please let me know
    Thanks for all answers

  • TS4185 When I make a face time call, the speaker on the other person's ipad doesn't work.  There is only loud static.

    The speaker on my ipad doesn't work when the party I'm calling receives the call.  Has anyone had a problem with this situation.?

    Check to see what Microphone you have selected. On Mac's with multiple input options the Video menu will have a Microphone option. Try out the different options and see if any of them work for you.

  • I need to capture a 300 dpi still image from my film to send to a magazine, how can I do that? Thank you.

    I am trying to capture the still image and it comes as 72 dpi. I need the 300 dpi for a magazine.
    Some places suggests that I transfer it to 300 dpi using photoshop. But the best is to go from the original.
    Can someone help me with this?
    I have shoot my video using a canon 5d
    Thank you,
    Betty

    Video does not have dpi. Pixel size is fixed. dpi is a print function. The only way to create 300dpi is to use scaling in Photosop or to use a dedicated application like PhotoZoom Pro, which is what I have always used for my books to create high resolution print images of screen shots.

  • I used to be able to delete an email from its notification alert message in Mavericks.  How can I do that in Yosemite?

    I am otherwise enjoying Yosemite as an update, but being able to delete an email without having to go into the mail program was awesome.  Now it, instead of a delete button, it's a close button.  So its still there.  Any way to get these alerts to delete the email again?
    Please tell me there is.
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

  • Face time calls Fail from IPhone to IMac

    I am new to face time and not sure what I am doing wrong.  I can make a face time call from my IMac to my IPhone.  When I try facetime from my IPhone to IMac the IMac face time app rings, but when you try to answer the call always fails.  On the IPhone it says that I am busy.  What am I doing wrong? 

    You're welcome, I'm glad that I could help!
    On a side note, if anybody is redirected here from a search engine or elsewhere; the "is busy" message in FaceTime when you clearly are not is almost entirely based on the shared Email (associated with your Apple ID) problem. For example:
    Say you have an iPad 2, a iPhone and FaceTime on your MacBook and your iMac in your household, the iPad i.e. is used by your daughter/son, the iPhone and the iMac is used by you and the MacBook is used by your husband/wife. But all of the devices use the same Apple ID (yours).
    It helps to associate different Email addresses with each device but not with any other of the devices so any device can be called from another one. As soon as you understood the concept of the solution from the original problem it should be easy to set it up perfectly.
    Let's say you have entered the Email addresses on FaceTime in the following manner:
    iPhone & iMac: [email protected]
    MacBook: husband/[email protected]
    iPad 2: daughter/[email protected]
    When the iPad 2 calls [email protected] the iPhone and the iMac will ring but you can only pick up on one of the devices. The iPad can also call the MacBook via husband/[email protected] The MacBook can call the iPad via daughter/[email protected] and both the iMac and the iPhone via [email protected] The iPhone can call the MacBook, the iPad but not the iMac (the message "user is busy at the moment" will be displayed). The iMac can call either the MacBook or the iPad but not the iPhone.
    As said before: All you need to understand here is the concept, the rest comes naturally.
    If there is a related problem please don't hesitate to ask!
