How do we FaceTime each other from five different devices iMac at home two iPhones and now to iPad minis
How do we do all this usually we use our phone numbers for the phone and the apple I'd at home now we have two iPad minis amd don't know what to do should we create a new apple I'd for them or what
For the iPad mini's you need to utililize an independent verifyible e-mail address for each of them. You can associate these two e-mail addresses with your single Aplle Id. If you supply the ipads with the same email address, you will not be able to make Facetime calls from one to the other, or if you make an FT call from your phones, both ipads would respond. In other words, if you want the ipads to function as individual devices they each need a unique e-mail address assigned to them. To help you with this, I'm including a link to an Apple informational page that will help you in adding neww e-mail addresses to your Apple ID.

How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?
Hello!
Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
- Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
The relevant excerpt:
Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
Quit Safari.
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
Close System Preferences.
Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved. -
We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.
Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -
I've stoped and restarted the AMDS but no change (this worked when I had the same problem with the iOS 5.0 upgrade), what should I do next?
I had this symptom but adding +1 to telephone numbers nor the *228 reprogram worked. I found the solution in a kb article and documented the solution here:

How do I set up my ipad2 and MacBook to FaceTime each other when I am the user on both? Ie my apple account....is on both?
To locate people, you should use the free "Find my Friends" service and app.

My brother and I will both be in Quito at the same time but staying in different hotels. If we both have iphones with facetime how would we call each other (over wifi of course)?
Hello ajs42548,
The article linked below details how to go about using FaceTime. In order to use FaceTime over Wi-Fi, just verify that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network prior to initiating the call.

We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.
Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library. iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

Is it possible for my two new mac laptops to facetime each other?
I recently received my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air through the online store. I was wondering how (if they can) facetime each other? I am using the same apple id (I think) for both and I totally need your help.
Hi Mercurium,
Sure you can FaceTime between the MBA and the MBP. BUT, you can't use the same Id for both. It would be like calling yourself. If you picked up your land line phone and dialed your own number, you'd get a busy signal. You can use the Id you already have for one of your Mac books -- the other is going to need its very own identification. -
I have one Itunes account for myself and my children. Can we facetime each other on different devices?
Yes, you can.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!
You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Hi. We have two iphones and one Itunes account. How do back up each one without getting the others contacts and without syncing each phone to each other?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, providing you with your own contacts, calendars etc, not doing so will result in exactly what you have experienced. The contacts have likely been lost due to the options you have chosen at the login stage on each device.
Unless you have the missing contacts in a backup file, they won't be recoverable unfortunately. You can add them manually to the contracts that already exist and continue to share the iCloud account if you wish, but I suggest that you each have your own iCloud account.
Note, you can each have your own iCloud account, but continue to share an iTunes account for purchases of apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc. -
Why can't two people on the same wifi FaceTime each other
We can face time people om other networks, but cannot FaceTime each other in the same house.
I read some of the hundred or so other posts on the issue that popped up on the forums in the last hour or so.
People had talked to Apple Technical Support. -
How can I change emails received by others from me on my IMac and MacBookPro appearing on their computers as 'APPLE' and not my name?
Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton! -
I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.
Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.
