HT204380 Apple ID and FaceTime question

Hi,
Do I need to set up a different apple ID for my home iMac (Mavericks 10.9.5) and my iPhone (iOS 8) if when abroad I want to call my home with FaceTime using my iPhone?
Can I have two different accounts using same apple id?
Thanks

Give each regular user of the computer his or her own user account and enable fast user switching. Each user should have a different Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage.

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

Hi If you use a new Apple ID when setting up new iPhone Any music or Apps you have paid for will be lost. If you want to use your Apple ID that you have go to apple/support/id/apple.com. Cheers Brian

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

I forgot my i cloud apple password and security question and i dont remember the id well how can i activate my device? please i need help

i forgot my i cloud apple password and security question and i dont remember the id well how can i activate my device? please i need help

Hello there, Hisham1977.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps to follow if you've forgotten the answer to your security questions:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
If you forgot the answers to your security questions, try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you're not sure you remember the answers. If you're confident that you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you forgot your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time, you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

Three Apple Devices and FaceTime

I have an iPad Air, an Iphone 4 both on IOS 7.04 and and iMac with OX 10.8.5. Facetime calls between the IOS devices work as expected but calls between the iMac and the IOS devices fail in either direction. Calls from the Contact sotware requesting a Factime connection with both IOS devices powered up results in the ring tone, a brief flash on the End button and termination of the call and the message xxxx is not available for Facetime. The iphone shows a missed call. The ipad shows nothing. I have followed all of the posted suggestions for debugging Facetime behaviour. I'm very perplexed

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Apple tv and FaceTime

Hello there!
I used to do FaceTime on my iPhone 5 and mirror it to the Tv using airplay in my Apple tv. For some strange reason, recently, when I turn the phone to landscape the image on my tv does not turn to "mirror" the image on the iPhone. The screen stays in portrait mode but the FaceTime screen turns... now we have to turn our heads as if we were to eat a taco
I was nice to see my family fill my tv! It was as if we were right in front of each other!
Any suggestion?

I See the same thing but I'm not aware of that it used to be any different.

Apple ID and Facetime

I have an iTouch, and iPad 2 and a PC with iTunes. I was trying out Facetime and I was doing it on the iPad. But when someone was calling me on Facetime, it went to the iTouch first. Why? How can I separate the iPad Facetime from the iTouch Facetime for privacy reasons? Is this all driven by the Apple ID?

Greetings mikespence127,

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

We have three Ipads in our house. We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV. My question is about our three Ipads. How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Ryan

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
iTunes- How to share music and video
iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
