Can't message or FaceTime between iPad2 and iPod touch on same apple I'd

Here's my story.   Have an iPad2, works great, love it.  husband loved it too, but big and bulky, he goes with the iPod touch.  Tonight we set his up using the same apple id, because we want it to be simple and we truly want to share everything.  BUT, we want to be able to FaceTime and message one another.  Obviously realized we couldn't when the other was always busy, so I use an addtional e-mail to assign to him.  When it didn't take initally, I think ok, I need to turn off iMessage and FaceTime to get them to reset.  when I go to log back in, our apple id wasnt recognized and I eventually reset our password as a last ditch effort.  That gets me to the next screen, "what e-mail address do I want to use?"  I choose the secondary one, but it acts as if it hasn't been verified, but I've checked my settings information and it has been,  I've actually deleted and verified it twice now. I even tried the main e-mail address.  I've also powered off the touch too.  So what am I doing wrong, because at this point I can't even get messages or FaceTime to work on the touch.  I do not want to remove my log in from my iPad for fear of it locking me out there as well, but I need help! At a minimum I should be able to get our messages from both devices!  Thanks!

I decided to reset the iPod touch to factory new settings and then it worked fine.  I have no idea what glitch I came across, but am glad that I can now FaceTime and message with my husband!

  • Can't message or FaceTime between ipad2 and iPod touch with same apple id

    Posted this on the iPad page also.  I got a ipad2, my husband loves it but too big and bulky, we get him the iPod touch tonight.  I set his up using the same apple id because we truly want to share everything, BUT want to be able to message and FaceTime one another.  Works fine to begin with, but soon realize that we cant FaceTime using same e-mail, realize I can assign him a different e-mail.  do this, doesn't work, so try the trouble shooting on apple support, turn off face time and messaging, because I'm setting it up for both,  Somehow it locks me out of message and FaceTime completely, that I had to reset my password, now it will let me login using that apple id, but not allow me to use either my orignal or secondary e-mail that I did verify.  FaceTime just keeps sending me back in to the apple id log in screen.  I thought no matter what you were able to login on both devices using the same id, but I can't for some reason!  Thanks!

    I ended up resetting all of the content and settings back to factory standard, then starting over.  no issues after that.  I'm just glad that we hdan't done too much after purchase!

  • Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA.  The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally.  We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect.  No voice, no video.

    Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA.  The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally.  We both can hear the caller ringing in and can see who is trying to call, but after accepting the call we cannot connect.  No voice, no video. iPad is successfully sending and receiving eMails, but no Factime connection   What's up?

    I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on.  Have you tried Skype?  Did you talk to the hotel staff?  My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue.  He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there.  If you find an answer please post back.  Thanks

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • If I buy a Blue iPod Touch 5g at BestBuy, can I switch it with a Space Grey iPod Touch at the Apple Store since BestBuy doesn't carry the space grey iPod Touch?

    I just wanted to know if I can switch my iPod Touch at the Apple Store, I still don't know if BestBuy carries the Space Grey iPod Touch yet.

    No, you have had to purchase it directly from Apple

  • FaceTime between ipad2 and macbook pro

    I have an iPad2 and a MacBook Pro.
    I am trying to get Facetime between the two, and when I dial from the iPad2 to the MacBook or vice versa I get a busy signal.
    How can I get the iPad2 and MacBook to do facetime?
    Do I need to have different emailaddress or apple ID for the iPad2 and a different one for the MacBook?
    Thank you,

    Running into the same problem Pashy. I can facetime my husband from my macbook pro. But when I try to contact him using my ipad 2 nothing happens. I try contacting him thru the AIM address listed in my contacts and nothing happens when I click the link however it  will work with the mobile numbers.

  • Please can someone tell me how to set up FaceTime between 3 devices all using the same apple ID ( 2 iPads and a iPhone)????, Please can someone tell me how to set up FaceTime between 3 devices all using the same apple ID ( 2 iPads and a iPhone)????

    I am trying to set up FaceTime on all my apple devices so I can FaceTime each device but all 3 devices are using the same apple Id and I have no idea how to sort this???

    Facetime only works with two devices at a time. You can have the same Apple ID, but the two devices can't have the same email address. Get a new gmail account. Normally you use wifi for connection, however, with iOS 6 and an iPad 3 you can use cellular.

  • Looking for a sound editing app I can sync between Mac and iPod Touch

    I have old interviews I conducted as part of an old job. I want to put them on to my new iPod Touch to listen to while traveling. Since I am only interested in specific topics and passages I need to bookmark where in these hours-long interviews these passages are.
    I can get these interviews from my Mac into my Touch easily with iTunes, but I cannot bookmark or make notations in iTunes. There is a plethora of apps that will playback and edit/bookmark sound files for the Touch, but all of the ones I have found will only do this for files recorded with that app and they will only upload or email to my Mac but not send files from Mac to the Touch.
    If anyone has any thoughts on an app I have missed or a work around I would be forever grateful.

    LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
    Still, only the public folder is visible.
    By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
    It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
    My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.

  • How do I set up iMessage so I can send messages from my iPad to my iPhone using the same apple id

    I am trying to set up iMessage so I can send and receive messages on my iphone 5 and my iPad using the same apple id.

    I assume that you want to keep the same Apple ID on both devices for downloads and purchases but you just want to know how you can use Messages on both devices without creating a new Apple ID.
    On one of the two devices ....Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at>add another email address ... and enter another working email address. After you enter the email address and it is verified by Apple, go to the InBox of that email account, read the email from Apple and follow the instructions to complete the verification. Then go back to the settings and remove your Apple ID email address. You will now use that new email address at the contact at email address for messages on that device.
    You can keep your Apple ID email address and use that one on the other device.

  • Can I download FCPX on my imac and MBP using the same apple ID?

    Hello,  I am just wondering how it works with mac store apps.    I use both my imac and MBP for my work.   Will I have to re buy FCPX for both, or can I use it on both with the same apple id?   This works with apps on my 2 iphones and ipad, but I was not sure about imac and MBP.  
    Thank for any info you can give

    Don't mention it. Although I'm one of those dispised Americans. Worse yet, I come here for four or five months then leave. Then I tell all our American friends awful lies about Canadians.
