HT204380 If I have 3 devices using the same apple ID, can I FaceTime between them?

As it says on the tin.
2 x iPads and an iPhone all sharing the same Apple ID and icloud account.
Can we FaceTime between the 3 devices? .....and how. Calls drop straightaway every time: user busy.

Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
Take a look at this for more information.

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Can I have a Face Time conversation between two Apple devices using the same Apple ID?

Yes, you can, but the two devices can't have the same e mail address associated with both. Each, device needs its own unique e mail ADR. In your case, the iPod can call your iPhone if you use the phone number, but the iPhone can not call your iPod because it must use the e mail address, and if the email address is the same on both, the iPhone will think it's calling itself, so the call will not go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address. If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
You can do it through iTunes as well.

I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern. If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

3 people have been using the same Apple ID for years. How do we separate the information and create our own Apple IDs?

Brand new to the community. I'm confused as to how all of this works, but since we're using the same Apple ID, we seem to be getting eachother's information synced to our phones including contacts, music, etc. I'd like to separate our accounts, but how do we retain the appropriate information for each individual?

On person can keep the current account and the other two can migrate their devices to new accounts. To migrate a device to a new accoun, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted . Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. If the same person has other devices to migrate to this new account, on the other devices they can save the photo stream photos to the camera roll, delete the iCloud account, choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account), the sign into the new account.
Once you are all on separate accounts, you can go to icloud.com and delete any data that you don't want in your accounts (such as other people's contacts).
If you're getting each other's music it may be because you have automatic download turned on, which automatically downloads purchases made any other device signed into the same iTunes ID. To prevent this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Music off under Automatic Downloads.

Can I use the same apple ID to face time between my Mac and ipad2

I have tried to use FaceTime between my Mac and iPad 2 using the same apple ID and I cannot connect. Do I need two separate apple ID's to do this?

OK SO My original email on my ipad is a .mac ( which is my email from my apple ID)
After reading your advice above I added another email which is a .me email I tried to facetime my husband on his airbook and it would not work. Do I have to eliminate one of the email addresses? And if I do remove it from my Facetime settings on my ipad will it be removed from my macbook pro as well?

TS3991 Downloading an app on a second apple device using the same apple id

I have two apple devices. When I log into my second device with my same Apple ID, apps that have been previously downloaded appear with a cloud icon. When I click on this icon, it does not download my app on my second device. Why is this occurring?

Something, but usually three reasons.
1. there is something wrong with your account - easiest way to sign out of itunes account and sign back in and you will be prompted for whatever was wrong.
2. Not enought space on the phone
3. Restrictions are enabled for some type of contenct.

Hi guys, i would like to ask about the apple id. Which at this time I have been using the new apple id, can I be able to continue updates all the applications that I have purchased by using the old apple id.

Hey guys, I am newbie here ;(.. I have a question regarding my new apple id. at this moment i've still have all the applications that i've been purchased by using my old apple id.
In case there are an update for the applications in my iphone, " Can i use my new apple id to update all the application that i've been purchased with my old apple id ". If its not possible to do, are there any suggestion for me to updates all the applications by using my new apple id ?
Many thanks ;)

Apps must be updated using the Apple ID used to originally download them to the device.
If you cannot or will not use the old Apple ID, then you can delete the app, and then download it again using the current Apple ID. Be aware that any paid apps will have to be purchased again.

How can i synchronize different contacts and different calendars with different iOS devices using the same Apple ID and iTune ID?

I have the following situation. 1 Apple ID. 1 iTune account. I have 2 ipads and 2 iPhones
1- I would like to have a set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (mine) sharing the same contacts and calendar entries (synching from outlook)
2- I would like to have another set of 1 ipad and 1 iphone (my wife's) sharing contacts and calendar entries but obviously these would be a different set of contacts and calendar entries than mine
How can I set up my four devices to do this?
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.
