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.

  • HT5616 How can you see a list of devices registered to use our apple ID for FaceTime and other services?

    Sometimes I will get a notification that x device is using my apple ID for FaceTime (or other services). Sometimes it is just generic Mac Book Pro. His can I see which devices are using my ID (and can you see more details than just the name)?

    I just started getting this message too.  Just started the last couple of days.  It doesn't give a time that it was used.  All it says that "appleid" was used to sign in to facetime on Macbook.  My Macbook is not named "Macbook."  It also doesn't correlate to times when computer is being used.

    Yes, No problem at all.

    No - you can share the same iTunes account (my wife and I share the same account). But when you sync the iPads, just remember to select the correct content for her iPad and the correct content for your iPad.

  • My iPad was stolen, how can I have it blocket and/or send to the iPad a message to get it back

    My iPad was stolen, how can I have it blocket and/or send to the iPad a message to get it back

    If you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen, and if it is still turned on and connected to the internet with Find My iPad enabled, you can do this by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

  • If i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    if i have one iPad and I want all the apps that are there how do I copy that so i can have them on another iPad the same way as i have them on the first iPad?

    If you want both iPad to be identical .....
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
    When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases.
    After it finishes transferring all your apps to the Mac, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    Sync the iPad and eject it when it is complete.
    Quit iTunes
    Connect the second iPad.
    Launch iTunes
    Right click on the iPad name on the left side and select - Restore from Backup
    Select the backup of the first iPad and let it restore from that backup.
    When it finishes restoring - sync with iTunes to transfer all of the apps and any other content that you want onto that iPad
    Eject the iPad when you are done.
    Check the second iPad and if all of the content did not sync as you wanted - or you want to remove some of the content - connect it again and then choose the content that you want - uncheck what you do not want - and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

    can you have more than one itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes. Either create and use separate Windows user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as desired.

  • I have 2 ipads and my iphon on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause i dont have enough space so I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account i made with a new apple id but i dont want to delet the ipads off their account?

    I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!

    To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted .  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

  • Can you capture 1 video and author another at the same time?

    To save time with videos that are not critical, can you capture one video to Premiere Pro at the same time you are authoring to Encore a previously captured video?

    The short answer is yes.
    I have just done that and I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.
    I captured from a DVCAM tape via firewire using PPro CS6 while authoring a Blu-ray disk in Encore CS6.
    No frames were lost during capture and my test blu-ray project was completed without a hitch.

  • TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

    i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

  • Can I have Aperture 2 and 3 installed on the same computer?

    I have been using Aperture 2 now for some time and have various libraries with 1000's of images. I want to buy a full Aperture 3 copy from the App store to use for all new photos and leave the old libraries and Aperture 2 as is. Will this be a problem, I am worried the installation will want to overwrite the Aperture 2 version?
    Thanks

    Hi there TD.... Apple have sorted out my log in so now I have my old original account dating back to 2004.
    Eowyn2k has thousands of RAW that he does not want to have to go back and upgrade all libraries in Aperture.
    Obviously if he were using iPhoto and creating books from there then templates do change, however, as we both know, there are many third party apps such as iPhoto Manager that do great things that the basic iPhoto does not do. So has a third party developer created a conversion tool so templated images / photo books can be converted with no errors ? However this thread is about Aperture. I merely gave an example about a massive upgrade re CS that is dealing with actual files and not using templates  / books created by Apple which so change from version to version. I know a keen amateur who upgraded to iP 11 and found it could not do half of what they wanted it to that they downgraded to a previous version. They are now an AP junkie.
    Apparently this is progress in iP.. LOL.
    So it would not surprise me if an individual developer would create an app that would assist an individual in working with opening an AP2 library in AP6 and also keep all effects in place even though it would surprise me if Apple recode the way the burn tool effects an individual image ( for example ) when it is working fine just now. It may be improved but not changed so much that an image would look different if opened in AP6 when created in AP2.
    The RAW engine is being improved with new Camera models being released, we all know that. New codecs are being created and old are even improved. The RAW engine will be able to open RAW images, period, no matter how old they are. However once the images have been imported into Aperture and the RAW engine has pulled these into AP then AP is dealing with data so does it matter if the RAW engine has been updated for these older images currently in the lib ? Probably not.
    That would be like saying that an image created in Photoshop before Creative Suite was created would openly differently in CS5.
    My point was about upgrading libraries that have been archived to DVD or another back up solution.
    Nobody would want to upgrade all their archived material.. I would not and seems like Eowyn2k does not want to anyway. Eventually, there will come a time where he will have to upgrade those libraries if he wants to use them making changes and so forth in time to come.
    If they are not burnt / archived to DVD and are only on Hard Drives then it is best to upgrade them. I upgraded all my libs from AP2 to AP3 as they were resident on HD's... BUT any libs on DVD and not on HD's are still AP2. If I ever need them again then they will be upgraded as I do not run AP2 anymore... why waste time upgrading libs that are not going to be used again.
    I assume when you say iPhoto 9, you do actually mean version 9 which Apple have called iPhoto '11, just checking.
    and Eowyn2k.... what's your wedding photo website ?
    cheers / J
