HT204053 Can two people use one account and get face time to each other?

I'm getting a new ipad and I'll be handing over my ipad 3 to my Hubby. I was wondering if we could both share different IDs in the same account and be able to face time each other from my account. Most of his apps where purchased on my itunes for the ipod he uses from my account. Will I need to make him a separate itunes account?

You don't have to create another account - I facetime and imessage with my wife's ipad all the time using one apple id. All you do is on one device check mark one email address in " send and receive " area and on other ipad another adress. So I do that from ***@hotmail to ***@icloud. BTW imessage and facetime have nothing to do with icloud or itunes and to have different id's for icloud would be my recommendation as well.

  • Two people using one account in Mountain Lion

    My wife and I had a shared account in Snow Leopard.  In Mountain Lion, the accounts seem to be more customized for an individual, what with Notifications and iCloud and all.  I just got our new iMac last night and am configuring ML now for the first time.
    My question: is there any point to having an account on Mountain Lion called "JohnandMary" or whatever (like I did on Snow Leopard) that lets us both have access to our notifications and stuff?
    We often will be using the same documents and iTunes library and all kinds of other things, but obviously our personal messages and notifications would not be the same as each other.
    What's a married couple to do?

    No, I know how to make a new user.  Sorry if I was unclear.  I guess the real question is: is there a way to have one single "user" that incorporates both my wife's and my notifications?  I would like us to both share one user account so we dont have to constantly shift back and forth to access our documents.  Plus, our iTunes and iPhoto libraries are used by us both so I wouldnt want to split those up.

  • How can two people use both of their shared credit cards on each of their two iPhones if the credit card numbers are the same but the names are different? The iPhone won't accept the second card because it says that it's already been loaded.

    iPhone won't accept second credit card with the same number, but different user.

    Only one credit card can be on an iTunes account at any one time - presumably if they are shared credit cards with the same card number then it's the same credit card account with the one bill, so from a billing/payment point of view does it make any difference which card is on the account(s) ?

  • 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

  • How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?

    I've tried Adobe Connect trial version.
    There are few questions about the product.
    1.How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?
       I could open 9meetings at the same time using other PCs. What is the limit?
    2.What is the maximum of students in a meeting?
       I'm thinking of buying monthly/Individual product.
    3.The meeting never end even though host is out of it. But we want to control.
       Can host close a meeting so that all participants are out of the session?
    Thanks for your attention.

    This depends on your licensing.
    If you are using a Named Host license, then you can open one meeting at a time. If other members of the Meeting Host group are present in a room, then it should allow you to have multiple rooms open, one for each Meeting Host licensing being used.
    If you are using the Concurrent Learner license, then each meeting you join uses a different licenses, so as long as you have concurrent seats available, you can open as many rooms as you want/need.
    Maximum number of attendees (students) would be your room's concurrent maximum, less your self. The monthly version of Connect offers 25 concurrent attendees in each room, so that would be 24 students and you.
    The meeting does end after it is dormant (no host) for ~15 min, however you can use the End Meeting function (Meeting > End Meeting) to close the meeting and remove everyone, including yourself, from the room.

  • Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

    Why can't I use my existing email in Face Time and Instant Message?

    Do you have another Apple ID by any chance? There are many, many discussions about this message that you are getting. Here is one where it seems that these users were able to resolve it.

    There are many other past discussions as well. Maybe you can find some help here as well.

  • I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

    I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

    Graham,
    For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc.  For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too.  If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

  • Multiple users using One account and issue making calls to 1-800-###...

    We have 15 volunteers who are using One account we set up for them. They login at the same time and need to make 1-800 calls (same number) concurrently. Right now, when you start pressing 800 all of sudden the display goes blank (cx300) and can't even finish
    entering the number. We have Lync 2010 and 2013 running together and most services moved to Lync 2013. Before we introduced Lync 2013 we did have this problem, but only intermittently. Now with Lync2013 it is consistent issue.
    What settings do I change?
    Do I need to create more accounts and assign Lync #s respectively?

    Hi,                                   
    Would you please tell us what did you do with this scenario?
    Please check if there is any error message from Mediation Server and FE Server when the issue happen.
    Check if it is a performance issue, you can test to login the same Lync account with two users, make call concurrently. If it works work, it may be a performance issue.
    The best way is to create more account and assign to these users.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • HT204053 Can two people share the icloud if they have a different Apple ID

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need the same Apple ID to have the same information (you can't mix it if you don't want to mess everything in one Apple ID)
