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.

  • 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:

  • How to use FaceTime with 2 devices on same apple id

    My husband and I share an apple ID account, and each of us has an IPad and we want to be able to FaceTime each other, but both devices see us as the same person.  Is there a way to separate our devices within the same account? 

    You each need your own Apple ID. It's the same as trying to call a phone with the same number. You can't.
    I suppose you use the same Apple ID to share apps. You can still do that. Just create a new Apple ID for the second user and log into your device using that ID for FaceTime and Messages only. In Settings > iTunes and App Store, use the shared Apple ID.

  • Using Facetime with Shared Apple ID

    My husband and I share the same Apple ID.  He has an iPhone 5 and our MacBook Air.  I have an iPhone 5 and ipad mini.  We like sharing the same id for easy access to all contacts, messages, photos, etc.  we want to keep it that way.... However, we would like to use facetime....  Currently, he calls me it says I'm unavailable. It rings once on my end but then stops. And vice versa... I've heard that one of us needs another email... How do I go about setting this up on my phone and ipad??? I've already created a new email but where exactly do is change it??? Keep in mind, we still want to share everything else... Just not facetime...

    Hi KMW
    I have the same question too and I await someone to give an answer. I work away from home and make do with phone calls and emails. I have thought about this for a few years and basically done nothing about it. I have tried but nothing I can think of works. Rather like iMessage which seems to be hit and miss.
    I have used Skype in the past, very cheaply and easily, depending where you are.
    Cheers

  • TS4268 How to use iMessage with 1 apple idea across 3 devices (iMac, 2 iPads)?

    I am using iMessage across 3 devices with 1 apple id. This has worked sofar. Currently the iPad 3 refuses to accept the apple I'd. How can I solve this?

    Dear AnaMusic,
    Actually it did not solve my problem. But I probably did not explain it correctly. I want all my devices to get the same messages. At home I have an Imac and an Ipad and then i use one ipad at work. They were set up with one Apple Id and used to work perfectly on that id. However suddenly the Ipad at work rejected the apple id  and I thus do not get any messages. The Imac also stays inactive. I have checked the apple id and nothing is wrong. It all works well. Except imessage no longer functions. Any suggestions?

  • Facetime with same apple id

    Can I use Facetime between my MBA and my ipad?

    Sadly, you are unable to iMessage or FaceTime between two devices using the same Apple ID. Apple ID's are not hard to create, so you could easily go and make another one to use on your iPad, and then use your old one for the Mac.

  • Trouble using facetime on another device with same apple id

    Hi
    I am having trouble using facetime with my wife.  I have an iPad 2 and she has an IPhone 4S.  When we try to facetime, we are able to connect for a few seconds and then it drops off.  We are then unable to reconnect.  We both have the same apple Id and e-mail address although I am trying to contact her via her mobile number.  Any suggestions would be grateful received.

    Get an email address (free gmail.com) to use on the iPad.

  • Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

    IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

    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.
