Can you use facetime with same apple id but 2 email addresses (myself and my daughter)

I am having difficulty setting up Facetime. My daughter and I have the 4thgen iTouch and are trying without luck to use the same apple id and 2 different email addresses to use Facetime. Apple sends me a verification email to change the email address on the apple id to her email address, which I do not want. Is it possible to set up Facetime this way. If I set her up a separate apple id will all her old music and apps (under my apple id) still sync without problem? Thanks

Yes

However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

On both devices, go to Settings>Facetime and turn off cellular calls.

How to use facetime with same apple id

If I've already downloaded facetime on my imac do I have to buy it again for my mac book which is older and didn't come with facetime? And also, my husband has taken our ipad to Asia and I wanted to facetime with him using my imac at home, however I only have one apple ID so how do we call each other if the apple ID's are the same??

It's only 99 cents, and I do believe you'll be charged for the second download to the Macbook. Your Mac book must have osx, 10.6.6 or later, installed. You can use the same apple ID, but you must supply a different individual e-mail for address to the ipad, and you should also supply another different individual e-mail address to the Mac book.

We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

IPhone won't facetime with daughters iPod, using same Apple ID but different email addresses.... Help

how do you get two devices to facetime on one apple id

Yes you can use the same apple id to facetime with two devices. I just tried it between my macbook air and my iphone 5S using the same apple id. You just need to make sure the ipod is trying to call the iphone number.

Can you use facetime with wifi only? No SIM card in iphone4

Party A: No SIM Card, in US, calling using WIFI
Party B: SIM Card, in another country, receiving calls, with WIFI
Can Party A and B connect through Facetime?
Thanks for your time.

You can make video calls through skype.I think without sim you cannot use facetime because facetime needs your sim number.
Slight correction: FaceTime on the *iPhone* needs your SIM number. FaceTime on the iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS have no such need.
This is one of the things I hate about Apple. Why not just allow everything to behave the same? Why should FaceTime, a non-cellular application, have to behave differently on the iPhone than on all other platforms?
(I also don't like that Videos lives in the iPod app on the iPhone, but has it's own app on the iPod Touch and iPad)

Can you use facetime with just 3G connectivity?

My my has just bought an Ipad so that we can contact her using Facetime when she is away, can Factime work just on 3G connectivity or do you need to have a Wi-Fi connection?

Can i use iCloud with one apple id but app store with another; especially on iOS 6?

My household has multiple devices. I own iPhone and iPod, both on iOS 5.1.1, and iCloud (used for apps, iMessage, and backup.)
I almost never buy music, but I buy some apps.
My SO has iPhone (also on 5.1.1), and she uses my apple id for purchases (mostly kid apps.) She does not (yet) use iCloud (paranoid about it
She uses iMessage (with her own apple id.)
Anyway, I suppose at some point she would switch to iCloud too. It is also likely that we would move to iOS 6 once it is released (me first, likely.)
I know that Apple does not allow transferring app ownership from one account to another, as well as splitting or merging accounts.
Question: would she be able to use her own ID for iCloud (photo stream, backups) but my ID for app purchases? (I like it, let me control app expenses.)
If any of you are using IOS 6 preview, can you try this scenario (different IDs for app store, backups, and iMessage.)
Unsure if iOS 6 feature set is already public - if not, let me know 5.1.1 situation. Thanks!

thank you, @randers4!
(sorry for using twitter notation - hope you would not mind.)
for other commenters (especially Tawnii) - I view Apple ID (which was before essentially Store ID) as a purse with money. Money is shared in our family; I don't like "get your own milk license, and mark your bottles" approach.
Currently my spouse uses her own ID for iMessage (and she does not use icloud for mail, calendar, reminders, etc - pretty much iMessage and iOS Store are only apps she uses), but we use same set of apps (mostly kid apps) on all of our devices (including iPad, which is used by our little daughter). It does feel a little weird when purchases on one device appear on another (but this is an option which can be turned off.) We almost never buy music or books from iTunes store.
iCloud backup for my devices uses my ID (which is same ID we use for Store.) My spouse does not use iCloud backup. I suppose Mountain Lion can give her incentive to use shared Photo stream, and perhaps bookmarks.
Just so you guys know, we live in a country which did not have App store permitted until recently, so it was not possible for my SO to obtain her own ID for purhasing apps, even if she wanted (my ID is U.S.-based, where I used to live before.)
I feel that Apple model works fine for individuals but does not work well for family environments - for example, I want to listen to music from both of our computers on our Apple TV, but it is not easy: I can share iTunes collection or iTunes Match music set to Apple TV, but only from one account.
And I also suppose our two-year old would not be able to use her own account, even though she is iOS user for about a year already (iPads work great for kids, we tried 50+ different apps and have our own set.)
Again, thank everybody for quick responces, this is my first time using Apple forums and I am very happy

How many iDevices can you use for the same apple id?

Id just like to know for future refence if i get an iMac etc.

As many as you can afford...
You can load protected content on up to five computers. Those computers can load content onto any device. You can select up to ten computers and iOS devices to recieve automatic downloads of your purchases.

Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.

Hello Khayalh,
You should be able to link your phone number by following the steps in the article below. From your iPhone, sign out of FaceTime and iMessage and then sign back in and it should link. Check in the Start Conversation With and I Can Be Reached at section in iMessage and FaceTime respectively.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
