I can't use FaceTime from my macbook to my iPhone?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone is able to come up with an easy solution to my problem. I recently bought a Macbook pro and registered my Apple Id, iCloud etc. on it, it all worked fine and I could use Facetime to other users. Today I then got an iPhone 4S and when registering it I used the same Apple Id and also password. It soon set things up on the phone, however I could not use facetime to our Macbook or to others. At the same time I could no longer use the facetime app on the Macbook. I can understand that I might not be able to register to Apple products with the same Id etc. and be able to connect between them, but does anyone know a simple solution to this. Can I set up a second Apple Id for the Phone and then use facetime between them?
I look forward to hear from anyone who's more into their Apple products than me ;0)
Many thanks,
Anheja

Can you use facetime from cellular iPhone to wifi iPad Mini?

I've noticed I can connect from my iPhone 4S to an iPad Mini when we are both using wifi.
Howver, I cannot connect to the iPad when I am using cellular only (no wifi) on the iPhone (the iPad is wifi only).
I can connect to other iPhones when we both use cellular, so I know it's not an issue due to a carrier restriction of my cellular use (Verizon).
Is there an incompatiblity between using facetime from a cellular device to a wifi-only device? I would have though Apple would have a bridge between internet and cellular data for this.
Thanks

This is copied from the Apple iOS features website.
*FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
Sometimes I find the "small print" to be even more confusing, but the way that I interpret this is that you have to go cellular to cellular. Cellular to WiFi doesn't work. It does seem to make sense, if you are sending the "message" or trying to connect over cellular, the person on the other end would need to pick up the "message" via cellular since it was sent that way by you.

How can i transfer music from my macbook to my iphone without my music library contents are all erased?

i've been trying to transfer music from my macbook to my iphone but it deletes all the music i have on my iphone then adds the music from the macbook what can i do so i ADD music to my iphone without having anything deleted!

The answer is, "you don't".
Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.

How can I use FaceTime to community with friend (with iPhone/ipad2 )?

How can someone help m ?

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

I have 1 iphone (work), 1 ipad (personal), 2 itunes accounts (1 personal, 1 work), and 2 computers (1 personal-mac, 1 work-pc), how do/can I use stuff from both accounts on the iphone and ipad?

any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

Trying to figure this one out

Nope. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported. These are the only supported Bluetooth profiles:

Can I use FAcetime from my iMac to connect with a windows computer? Can we engage in 3 way conversations?

There's no version of FaceTime for Windows. However, there is a free video chat service for Windows called Skype that you should consider. Visit http://www.skype.com/en/ for more information.

Are the FaceTime accounts the same? If you used the same Apple account you can't FaceTime cause it's the same account.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.
