HT5538 How do I get a FaceTime app on my iPhone 5?

How do I get a FaceTime app on my iPhone 5? I've set up my wife's iPad without any problems and followed the same procedure with the phone but I've had no success. All I have had from Apple is an email stating that my ID was used to sign into FaceTime. Is there a delay before it is activated and will a FaceTime app appear?

Facetime is not an application on the iPhone. It is built into the iOS. You need to go into Settings and activate Facetime. Then you access it via the Contacts app. Check the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf for information. This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319 also provides info on using Facetime.

HT4539 How do I get a paid app onto my iPhone when I have downloaded it to my iPad. The app has a license for 5 licenses

Hi
I am a newbie to paid apps, and have previously used freebies. I have never quite understood the mechanics of how the iPad and iPhone are meant to keep the apps in sync. I've paid $150 for a Hema mapping app which I downloaded to my ipad ok. The license covers up to 5 idevices. I'm stuck on how the app is meant to "appear" in my iPhone.
I've googled, searched apple forums, and the best I get is the brochure ware on the apple page which says that things are meant to appear in one device if they are downloaded to another (or something similar to that). Can someone take the time to explain what I need to enable to have this happen, and/or what I need to do to get the mapping app onto my phone if enabling a feature doesn't retrospectively "sync" my devices.
I have a iPhone 4, iPad (
Thanks so much.

Thanks AnaMusic. I tried that, after I couldn't find anything on the internet. Their advice was your iphone must have insuffucient capacity. Told them nicely that it was more fundamental than that. Their response was effectively not our space.
My take: sucky support for $150..... but we want the app on our ipad for a remote area 5 week holiday that is coming up in a couple of weeks time.
hence my question on here, so I can get down to the basic fundamentals of app store/itunes wherever it is that is managing the 'syncing'between devices. I've not managed to get a grasp on this functionality & don't know what I don't know if you get my drift.....

How can i get FaceTime app? My iPhone 4 doesnt have it

On iPhone there is not a FaceTime app just simply tap phone go to contacts at the bottom then tap the add button on the top right hand corner fill in their details if an iPad 2 or iPod Touch 4G enter in their email if iPhone enter in their number. To Check wether FaceTime is enabled Go Settings -> Phone -> FaceTime. Is it On or Off? To FaceTime the contact just simply Go<Selected Contact<Look Below > Tap FaceTime

I have an iMac, iPad 2 and one child has an iTouch and the other an iPhone 4S. How do we get separate facetimes?

Hello, I have an iMac and an iPad 2. one of my kids have an iTouch and the other an iPhone 4S.
When their friends call, it shows up on my iPad 2 and the list of friends is the list of friends for my child
who has the iPhone 4S. To my knowledge, we all have to share an APPLE ID to share music and apps?...
So is that the problem....what happens if we have separate APPLE ID's....?
Even though we are an APple fam, I am still not sure how the whole thing works....
How do we get separate facetimes? Thank you so much in advance.

Actually you can have separate apple ID's for icloud and facetime but use the family one for purchases so you can share your apps, music..
Each owner opens up a Apple ID for only their device(s).. Log into icloud using new apple ID on each device for each person. Hit facetime in settings, and input your new apple id as facetime ID.. Done..
Now go to settings > store and make sure your family account is inputed there on all the devices so you can share your purcahsed music, apps, videos, etc....
I am sharing purcahses with my entire family but we all have separate icloud, facetime, apple ID etc.. Its imperative you have split Apple ID's for icloud otherwise all your phonebooks will mix and match.....
Also as far as iphone goes.. Iphone can be set up to use apple ID to call or phonenumber (by default) So if you facetime a number it will ring only on that phone, if you facetime an apple ID that is on the iphone it will ring on all devices associated with that apple ID

How do you get to FaceTime preferences on a macbook

when I facetime or get a facetime on my iphone it is connecting to my macbook as well. how do i get to facetime preferences on the macbook to delete my number from it?

Hey jacbees,
I found this on the FaceTime for Mac page:
If you don’t want to receive calls, just turn FaceTime off in preferences.
Or, you can also edit your "You can be reached for calls at" settings under FaceTime's Preferences:
In FaceTime, choose FaceTime > Preferences. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for calls at:."
via: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

How do I get my iPad apps onto my new iphone?

I currently have a mini ipad. I just bought my first iphone 5 today, and the sales associate set it up. I put in my apple id to log into icloud at the store. I am home now and want to get my ipad apps onto my iphone. How do I do this?

You would do this by iTunes and the sync process. You can select what apps you want to sync in iTunes. However, know that not all apps that are used on the iPad can be used on the iPhone. There are apps that are iPad only, as well as those that are iPhone only.

I changed my apple ID and lost everything. How do I get all my apps and purchased items back?

I changed my apple ID and lost everything. How do I get all my apps and purchased items back?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are. Wish itunes was more user friendly. Help please.

If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.

How do I get my FaceTime icon back on my iPhone 5 after accidentally deleting it

How do I get my FaceTime icon back on my iPhone 5 after accidentally deleting it

Obviously I need to speak another language for you.... AGAIN my intentions were to answer the original post... Obviously more than one person has had this issue... I didn't create the post! If you take the time to read what I have said, I in fact wasn't the one asking the question, I was answering it! It's funny your on an Apple forum stating that information given by APPLE is incorrect.... Mind boggling! When answering a question on a forum, there are those that will disagree with the answers you have provided..SO WHAT! My life goal is not to answer to you or anyone else's satisfaction... Get over it.. You call it splitting hairs, I call it stating my opinion...I would have had to provide a service in order to provide a disservice, to which my opinion is not! If you don't agree with what I or APPLE has said, shrug and move on....
Capisco; Aghju capitu; Ich verstehe ?
Have a nice day :0)!
