FaceTime issues with multiple devices & one account

I have an iPhone 5s, an iPad Mini and 2 iPod Touch devices, all on the same account and Apple ID. Is there any way to iMessage or FaceTime from one device to ONE other device(not all of them)? Thanks!

You can create another Appleid and use it only for FaceTime and/or messages on 1ipad.
In this manner you can maintain a parent account for all and have child accounts for messaging only.
You would simply log out of messages and log in with new id

IOS 7 Facetime/iMessage with multiple devices

We have, actually had, MULTIPLE devices under 1 apple id acct for the family. after updating to iOS7 none of the devices seem to work with those individual email/phone number accounts as prior to the update. For expample it is easy with iPhone as you can use the mobile number, but for the iPads/iTouch's it will not let me use the old email acct designated to that device prior to the update. It refers back to the "family" id acct. When I try to add the email, it will not "verify" as prior, and I get the "unable to verify email beacause it is already in use"...

I'm having the same issue. I use an iPad for work and it needs to use a different email address than my boss' Apple ID. Super annoying. This needs to be fixed asap.

Sync issues with multiple devices

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad mini associated with a single account. I just want to sync both the devices in such a way that a few utitlity apps need to be on the phone while the games need to be installed on iPad. However each time i sync the iPad i get list of apps pre checked with the phones settings so this will make the iTunes to copy all phone apps to iPad. I dont want this to happen.
I tried creating a seperate library but now im not able to see list of apps i downloaded previously. My question - is it possible to have a single library(to probably save some disk space) for two devices running under same account but only difference in sync settings. So that i time i connect a device it should know what to sync and what not to.

I have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
Yes, those would be 2nd generation Express base stations and they should be able to support up to fifty wireless connections.
Are both of these connected back to the Extreme with a wireless or wired connection? Regardless of which are they both configured to extend the Extreme's Wi-Fi range?
I am assuming that you have this network configured to also support a guest network ... correct?
The Extreme is not the latest tall one, it's the one just before they released the new one.
That should make your Extreme a 5th generation model, which is just fine.
Do the Express devices count as wireless connections?
Yes.
Even if I include the Express devices, I have 14 connections. If two people come to my home with two devices each, I am still under 20 connections. All Airports and devices are on the same level of the house, approximately 1000 square foot area, with open doors into every room.
Yes, according to the number of devices you stated, this should work.
The only idea I have at this time is to temporarily disable the guest networking feature. Once done, see if you still have the issue. Do you?

Having issues with multiple devices connecting to AirPort

Hello All
I'm having an issue when people come to visit. It seems my network goes haywire once they get here with their devices.
My network consits of an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses connected to a cable modem. On the network I have two iMacs, Mac Pro, two TiVos, Xbox 360, Foscam Secutity camera, two iPad minis, iPod, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS. They are all connected to the main network login.
When guests come over, most weekends my girl and her daughter, they have two iPhones, and iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Once they get here, we all seem to get knocked offline. Some devices stay connected at times, but most, if not all, get knocked offline. I assumed it was something wrong with one of their devices. They connect with the Guest login.
This weekdend we had some friends visiting and my girl and her daughter were not here. These friends showed up with two iPhones, a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, iPod and a kindle. Same thing happended...all knocked off line. They also connected with the Guest login.
Are there limits to the number of devices? If so, I wouldn't think I am hitting that limit, could it be that low?
Thank you in avance for any input or assistance.
Cooch

ICloud with multiple devices - one Apple ID

2 ipads - one for me and one for my children
1 apple ID - mine (kids aren't technically old enough)
2 - emails - .mac and .me (currently the kids have aliases under the .me which are collected in a folder
Somehow in the set up my original ipad was set up with my email ending in .me and the kids was set up with .mac
As the dust has settled somewhat in configuring both to have seperate imessage and facetime capablities which I have managed to do, I would like to switch the e-mail accounts so that the .mac account is listed on mine and the .me listed on the kids.
Is anyone aware of this situation and can help.
My secondary issue would be to find a way to use mail where my e-mail can be hidden from the kids. I don't think this is possible but I thought I would ask?
I appeciate your responses.

What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

How to handle iTunes Match with multiple libraries (one account, 5 family members)?

How would this work, in the situation below ...
Everyone has their own iCloud account (for their own syncing purposes).
But we (family) ALL share the same iTunes account (for purchasing).
How will this work, since we all have our own iTunes libraries?

One person sets up Match on their computer using the iTunes account. Uploads everything to match.
I would recommend waiting until that person is done, and do computers one at a time. No particular reason, just seems sensible.
Next person sets up match using same iTunes account details. Uploads their stuff. They will then see everything the previous user put into the system, unless you select "Hide music not on this computer" in the view menu. Previous user will now see their stuff too.
Rinse and repeat.
This is how it worked with my multiple machines anyway... As long as every computer uses the same iTunes account for the store, you all get access to the same Match account.

Multiple devices, one account

Is it legal to purchase an app and put it on more than one device with the same account? If so, is there a way to transfer an app from an iphone to an ipod touch when there is no wifi to connect the ipod touch to the internet/app store?
Thanks!

I understand about syncing - that is not my question. I am asking if there is any OTHER way to transfer apps if you are in a situation where you do not have access to itunes or wifi (to re-download from the app store). There are apps to transfer pictures (i.e. Bump), so I was wondering if there is a way to transfer apps.

Hello eagjdw
You can keep the one Apple ID for purchases and then create another one for a personal account for contacts and calendars. The article below will assist further

We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc. We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

With multiple devices (.g, .n, .ac) will the Time Capsule degrade to the lowest speed, or will each run at the highest rate it is capable of?

Highest rate capable.
Things may slow down a bit if you have a number of wireless devices connected simultaneously, since they must all share the same network bandwidth.

Two Devices, One Account

We have two devices, one account. We are able to access the account from either device. We will be spending the summer seperated by 2500 miles. If we want to Skype each other, do we need to create another account?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, Syringagal, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, absolutely, one of you will need to create a new Skype account to use. The reason why is simple: a Skype account cannot call itself! After the account is created, one of you needs to send the other a contact invitation, which the recipient will accept.

Elaine
