Calling IPad for Facetime

Why is a caller directed to my iphone number when they dial my ipad number

I think it's a problem with unlocked phones cos if you google it you come across a lot of people in different locations using different carriers having this problem. i'm hoping its a software and not a hardware problem.
I have a dual sim for the same number and when i use the other microsim in my iphone 4 i can send/recieve text messages just fine. i have a problem only on the iphone 5.

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message

That's an account-level setting on the iPad. Presumably you use your cell number as your Facetime account credentials on your phone, and the iPad is linked to your account as well? You can go into the Facetime settings on the iPad and change what accounts can be reached on the iPad or used to make Facetime calls. Same goes for Messages.

Someone is using my email on my old ipad for facetime

the message just popped up that someone has associated my email address with facetime on an ipad at my old work.
i used to use an ipad there and it wont have been wiped but i did change my apple id password and signout of gmail. I have also signed out of gmail remotely and changed my apple id password.
what is going on? how can they be using my gmail for facetime?
thanks in advance

You cannot see who is using it.
You can stop them from using it by changing your Apple ID password: http://iforgot.apple.com.
You can also enable two-step verification to prevent this from happening again: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support.

Can no longer use the same appleid on several iPads for FaceTime

Hi there,
Using iOS 6, I was able to have my appleid on the family iPads and by having 6 emails registered for FT, an email for each iPad, I was able to FT them INDIVIDUALLY, and they could FT each other INDIVIDUALLY as well. I was able to select and activate the emails from Settings>FaceTime by checking the email from "YOU CAN BE REACHED BY FACETIME AT..."
Since upgrading to iOS 7, I can't seem to do this anymore. I have set things up the same but I call one iPad and 2 iPads ring, I call BACK the original iPad and it says that user is unavailable. OR if I delete everything and start from scratch, I can get 2 iPads working correctly, I can get 3 ipads to work correctly... introduce a fourth and things go all funny with some iPads ringing, more than one ringing, none ringing and so on...
Has anyone come across this 'problem' and is it a bug? It's the same thing on the iPhones as well. Please bear in mind that it's using just one appleid only.
Thanks,
Maz

Thanks Linc,
well that *****... I guess I am going to have to reach out to the developers. It does not look like they are doing this anytime soon cause the website is pretty old in itself.
Thanks for the info on this,
Paul

Setting up ipad for FaceTime

How do I set up my ipad to receive FaceTime calls? The calls all go to my iphone and not my ipad. If the phone is off, the person receives a message that I am not available.

How can I connect my iPhone and my iPad for FaceTime

Every time I try to send iMessages it says not delivered.

FaceTime and Messages have their own set of settings which should be set up similarly. To send and receive iMessages and FaceTime calls on the iPad you have to setup an Apple ID. If both devices are using the same Apple ID iMessages should sync up and you can send yourself a message but it will appear duplicated on both devices. FaceTime will require each device to be set to it's own number or email address if you want to make calls between your devices.

The iPad is not a phone. Facetime and iMessage are only compatible with iOS devices. To add a phone number, you must do so from an iPhone.

My iCloud email is being used by an unknown device for Facetime

I just created my iCloud email today because I wanted to sync my notes with my different devices.
Shortly after creating the account I get a notification that said something like "Your email [email protected] is being used by LenovoG460's iPad for Facetime."
I do not own a Lenovo and as far as I know, our household does not own such a machine.
I quickly changed my Apple Id's password. My question is, should I be worried? Is there anything more I can do to ensure my security? How can I find out what other devices are using my account?

They've probably mistyped their address and given yours instead (or possibly they are an idiot who thinks they own your address - sounds bizarre, but it does happen). Consequently they are not receiving the messages but you are.
There's not much you can do about it. You can't delete the address unless it's an alias. You could answer to one of the people who are trying to contact him and point out the error, but as they probably only have the erroneous address as well they won't be able to do anything unless they also have his physical address and are prepared to write to him.
Alternatively you could just set up a Rule on the iCloud website (click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose Rules) to move all messages to that address to the Trash so you won't be bothered by them, and leave him to stew in his own juice.

I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

My iPhone4 doesn't appear to have "FacTime" (App), yet when I "ring" it from my iPad's FaceTime, I hear a faint ringing tone but nowhere to answer the call? Anyone out there suggest what's wrong? (going to the App Store and searching "FaceTime" brings iPa

(going to the App Store and searching "FaceTime" brings apps that have icons different to that of my iPads!)

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

TS4185 Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there?

Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

TS4185 I can FaceTime my wife from my iPad , but she always receives my call on her iPhone( and vice versa). How can I call iPad to iPad?

receives my call on her iPhone( and vice versa). How can I call iPad to iPad?

Charlie,
You must have a separate and individual id for each of your devices. For her iphone it's the telephone number. For each ipad, you must have a separate and individual id also. The ipad id's must be an e-mail address. You cannot use the same e-mail address for both i pads, and you can not use the email address that you use for Face time log in. The folks I know, create multiple e-mail accounts on Yahoo to facilitate this requirement. These individual phone numbers and e-mail addresses should be put into your calling lists for your Facetime accounts.
So if you want to call your wife's i-pad you need to have the mail address associated with it on your ipad account and visa-versa. I guess you guys will need to make sure you know who's carrying which device...This modern electronic world can be a circus at times, even though it has its rewards.

Can you have an ipad and the computer on the same apple id for facetime?

I want to have the same email for facetime on both devices... will this work.

Welcome to Apple Communities.
You can use the same Apple ID on an iPad and a computer but you cannot have both devices on the network at the same time.
I have a MacBook pro and an iPad and had the same Apple ID for both. When a Facetime call would come in, the iPad would conflict with the MacBook and the call would fail. Likewise, if I tried to place a call, Facetime would fail. If I shut off one of the devices, Facetime worked fine.
What I did to resolve the problem is create two email addresses for my account (one gmail and one yahoo). I asigned the primary one to my iPad and the other to the computer. Since most of my Facetime calls are on the iPad, people usually can reach me on my primary address.
Hope this helps.
David
