HT5538 iOS 7: Facetime, multiple device one apple ID

I have problem facetime a specific email address on 1 contact on iOS 7. I have set a phone number for my wife's iphone and email for her ipad. In ios 7 there is only 1 option for facetime and i have no idea which detail are contactd through the facetime. When i try calling both the ipad and iphone rang.

Hello GDonkov,
I'd suggest taking a look through the following article for information and steps that can help get your iPhone activated.

  • Multiple Devices, One Apple ID, iMessage Chaos

    Hi all,
    Wanted to bring up a new "feature" of iOS 6 - probably already has been discussed here a few times, but this is a real pain and something that I think Apple has backwards.
    My wife, daughter and I each have an iPhone 4, and son has an iPod Touch.  All of us have upgraded to iOS 6, and we all share one Apple ID.
    Everyone is able to turn iMessage on without any issue, but - every OTHER device is given the option of accepting messages sent to the newly activated device.  They can either accept or deny the ability to do so, but then going into the iMessage settings they can reactivate this "feature." 
    Shouldn't the setup be that when activating iMessage from a device, it gives THAT device and only that device the option of whether the other devices have the ability to send / receive messages?
    We were all wondering why on earth we were all receiving iMessages from friends of my wife, friends of my daughter, people I work with, etc.  It's a huge hassle - so much so that we have all turned iMessage off. 
    Big disappointment in this implementation - the option to share should be owned by the device that is turned on, not the other devices that are already on the account. 
    Thanks,
    Scott

    OK, I think I'm getting it.
    Example:  dad, mom, son.   (we need 4 AppleID accounts)
    Dad's iPhone:
    iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
    iMessage AppleID = dad@ me.com
    Dad's iPad
    iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
    iMessage AppleID = dad@ me.com
    Mom's iPhone
    iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
    iMessage AppleID = mom@ me.com
    Son's iPod
    iTunes AppleID = family@ me.com
    iMessage AppleID = son@ me.com
    Family Computer -- each person has their own User Login.  So just like individual devices, we use the shared (family@ me.com) for AppleID on iTunes, but use our personal (dad@ me.com) appleID for Messages.
    When Mom finally buy's an iPad and powers it up for the first time, it prompts her for an Apple ID.
    From reading literature at Apple, I believe it initially applies this single AppleID to everything on your new device.  It's up to the user to go in and change iMessage (within iMessage, sign-out of current AppleID and sign-in with a different one)
    Is this correct?

  • Multiple devices, one Apple ID

    Hi-
    My husband and I share an Apple ID (multiple email addresses).  He often plugs in his iPhone to sync it to our iMac.  If I plug in my iPhone, will it delete my contacts and sync with what is uploaded to the computer (his contacts)?

    There is that risk, but there are ways to avoid problems. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 for advice on how to use multiple devices with the same computer.

  • Multiple devices, one apple id, many problems :)

    We have several apple devices:
    Me: iphone 5s, ipad mini
    daughter: iphone 6, ipad 3
    son: iphone 4, ipad 3
    For years we have been sharing the same apple id, and the kids use their own email addresses for imessage.
    Now, I'm trying to set up family sharing, and they would like to use the same addresses for imessaging.  But even after deleting the email from our apple account, it will not allow me to add to family sharing.
    If I create new apple id's for the kids, will they lose any of the apps they currently use?  My son is very concerned about losing his "worlds" on Minecraft! LOL
    Also, can I use their email addresses for new apple id's?
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thank you

    No. iDevices are single user devices. You cannot have two users with two IDs using the same device. Either they use one Apple ID or you buy one their own device.
    Yes, Family Sharing will do that now.

  • ICloud with multiple devices - one Apple ID

    2 ipads - one for me and one for my children
    1 apple ID - mine (kids aren't technically old enough)
    2 - emails - .mac and .me (currently the kids have aliases under the .me which are collected in a folder
    Somehow in the set up my original ipad was set up with my email ending in .me and the kids was set up with .mac
    As the dust has settled somewhat in configuring both to have seperate imessage and facetime capablities which I have managed to do, I would like to switch the e-mail accounts so that the .mac account is listed on mine and the .me listed on the kids. 
    Is anyone aware of this situation and can help. 
    My secondary issue would be to find a way to use mail where my e-mail can be hidden from the kids.  I don't think this is possible but I thought I would ask?
    I appeciate your responses.

    What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
    Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

    We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading to  IOS  6 on my phone, I now receive ALL the text messages destined to the others! What should I do to get back to "normal", without opting out of Imessages or FaceTime?

    I'm afraid I may abuse of your generosity here, but I do have another question (that's the reason for the mistaken category of the post you answered). My daughter just arrived in her International Student residence in Europe yesterday, where internet's only available by Ethernet. She wishes to reverse-tether, from her PowerBook to her Iphone (because of the cost of using Internet on her phone over there). I found some instructions about Internet Sharing, in System Prefs, etc. "From: Ethernet, To: Airport" Enable Internet Sharing, and all...She did everything, by the book (or so, she thinks) but nothing shows on her Iphone Wi-Fi Settings when she tries to connect... I also read that it could be done with a Bluetooth PAN, but I got lost, as I tried to follow the instructions here at home, after pairing computer and Phone, with a "rude" message appearing on my phone telling me to "forget that device". Can you help?

  • Can I have one cloud for my family with multiple devices and apple ids?

    I need to know the best way to link multiple devices with different apple ids to the same iCloud to share iTunes and content.

    My iphone 5s = apple id 1
    Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
    My ipad = apple id 3
    Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
    Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
    For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
    But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

  • Multiple devices, one email - how can I see from iPad if I've replied from iPhone.

    Hi, I use both my iPhone and iPad to access my email. When I reply to a message on a device, I get an icon on the email on that device showing that I've replied. However, when I access the same email account from the other device, I don't see a replied icon. Any way I can get the replies synching so that I van see if I've replied across multiple devices?
    (Particularly useful since my wife and I share one of the emails we access so useful to see if the other one of us has replied)
    Thanks

  • Help! Lots of devices, one apple id & chaos!

    Help please!
    I have one apple id and 2 devices are mine (ipad & iphone) but I also have 2 ipods that belong to my kids. How do I ensure that all the contacts that are on their ipods are NOT the ones in my phone?
    Also, I've loaded icloud onto my laptop and now all of the contacts that are on my partners iphone are now on mine? How do I remove this?
    Thanks

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for them using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Need help with multiple devices and apple id

    Between my husband and myself, we have two Iphones, two Ipads, and one Imac.  I back all of them up on my Imac using ONE iTunes account....we prefer not use Icloud, and I think that helps keep the information on each device relatively separate from each other...no overlaps with contacts and calendars.  We have one APPLE id and password, that we use for Itunes and the App Store.   We just got the Iphone 6 for my husband, and it keeps asking him to enter his Icloud PW.(his recognized user name is his PRIMARY email address)...which presumably he does not have, nor does he need (or maybe he does I need some real guidance on that).  To keep this from making him crazy can I just delete his Icloud account, which again presumably, was created automatically with the new Iphone 6 set up??
    Similarly, I need to use FIND my Phone (etc), and HIS devices are not in MY listed devices....is this because he NEEDS his own APPLE ID, or is there a way to add his devices to my list of devices within the APP....I thought because we share the Itunes account they should all be in MY devices.
    Can someone help me make sense of this?
    THANKS!!

    Hello melissaben6250,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are not seeing your husbands new iPhone 6 in your Find My iPhone app. First, while you may "prefer not use iCloud", you are using it, at least in regards to Find My iPhone for your existing devices.
    Now, for your husband's phone and Find My iPhone. It sounds like during the setup of his phone, he logged in to his Apple ID and even possibly created another iCloud account. In order to see his phone on your existing Find My iPhone, it will have to log in to the iCloud account where the other devices are signed in. Take a look at this article on troubleshooting Find My iPhone, especially the first section on the device not appearing.

  • Imessenger - Multiple Devices 1 Apple ID

    My fiance and I each have an IPhone 4s and I have an IPAD 2 all activated through the same Apple ID.  When sending messages to each other it appears it is always coming from the same device (I.e. If i send a message  from my phone it shows up as her name on her phone).  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?  Should it not come from what the device is named?

  • Multiple devices - 1 Apple ID, time for another ID?

    Hi
    As a family we currently only use 1 Apple ID - this is the ID on the computer that has Itunes on, any icloud stuff and then we use it on 4 devices belonging to each of us. This was I can keep track of what the children are doing plus we share all the same apps, only have to buy them once etc
    Just today I've realised that this can cause issue in some things, the children wanted to go on dragonvale at the same time but one of them would get kicked out of theirs if the other one was on it - i can only assume that for one of the children to have their own version of dragonvale etc is for her to have her own Apple ID? But can I still link her device/purhcases through our 'family'# ID as well
    Have been trying to read up on it but I cant make much sense!
    I dont really use icloud, i just sync them all to itunes once a fortnight or so

  • Setting up iCloud After iOS 6 for multiple devices and one Apple ID

    We have a shared Apple ID for our iTunes Store purchases.  We share a Mac, and we share an iPad.  Each of us has a separate iPhone. 
    How should we set up iCloud to enable us to download pics that we take with our iPhone automatically to iPhoto on our shared Mac?
    How can we maximize the 5GB space in iCloud?
    How can we share calendars if needed so that if I edit an item on my iPhone, it automatically updates it on our Mac and my husband's iPhone?
    I want to be able to leverage "Find iPhone" but I guess you can only have one device set to one iCloud account, correct?  So if I lose my iPhone, I don't want all of our devices starting to ping at the same time (since the only one I'm trying to find is mine).
    Separately, after upgrading to iOS 6, I lost my contacts, and my music.  All my text message contacts in current conversations, were changed from the Contact Name to Phone numbers.  And all the phone numbers now have a 1 ahead of them, despite the fact that I did not set it up originally like that.
