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!

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!

Syncing iPhone and iPod touch with same computer/iTunes account

My son has an iPod Touch that we sync on my wife's computer and iTunes account. She is planning on getting an iPhone and I'm worried that when she attempts to sync her new iPhone that she'll get all of my son's iPod Touch apps. Is there a way to keep apps separate for each device?
Thanks!
David

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs. Just select what content or no content you want on your wife's phone, itunes will keep it all straight, including separate backups.

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.

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

I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone. How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

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.

I synced my daughters ipod touch with my apple account and now all of her contacts are on my iphone and my contacts are gone. What happened???

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

I registered my daughters iPod touch with my apple email address n she wants to have FaceTime under her email address can we do this or do I have to clear n restart with giving her own apple sign in?

I registered my daughters new iPod touch under my apple I'd and sign on and she wants to do face-time using her email can she set up her own apple account for FaceTime on this iPod or do I need to clear everything out and start over?

Don't worry, your daughter can use her own email, you just need to set it up that way in Settings->FaceTime
You can be reached for video calls at:
Email: yours
Add another email...
Tap add another email, add your daughters, and then delete your email by tapping on the one that was there already and selecting remove.
Then under calls:
Caller ID -> Make sure your daughters email is selected
Hope this helped, and was clear.

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.

My daughter has and ipod touch with free texting I would like to delete it and open a new app for her with a new number..I deleted the old number and when we downloaded the new app it gave her the same number how can I change text

My daughter has an ipod touch with free texting, she received an inappropriate mssg and I would like to delete it and download it again to receive a new number. when I download the new app it gives her the same number? can i do this?

Have you tried the developer's support web site? Withut you providing the name of the app makes it very hard for us to give specific recommendations. The only one that i can thin of is to purchase the app using a diffeent iTunes account.
