I want to use facetime but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys!

I want to use facetime on multiple machines but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys!  Needing multiple email addresses for using Facetime on multiple Apple devices seems really ridiculous to me.  What is the way around that?

you won't get that feature until apple releases the new IOS 6 http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#facetime for normal users.
Are your friends developers who are trying out the beta IOS 6?

  • I want to use a different email address for my iTunes account.

    My Apple ID is tied to my old email address at Comcast. I no longer have Comcast. I am told that I can't change this. If I create a new account using my me.com address how do I export/import all of my music and apps that were bought under the old ID? This sounds like it would be a pain

    You can set up an email address for your husband by following this guide.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44610
    Unless you either use different web browsers, ie you use Chrome browser and your husband uses Internet Explorer or you both have different Windows users accounts on your computer you can not have different homepages as such.
    The work around would be to set your browser to open with two tabs, one being your homepage and the other being your husbands home page. I don't use Chrome so I am not sure exactly how you would do that but it would be similar to open your home page then in a seperate tab open your husbands then got to tools in the browser menu and find the setting "set as home page" and save it.

  • I want to use my @me email for my itunes to kind of keep everything organized without using so many different emails. When I go to edit my email address it tells me I can't use an existing account, but it's mine...

    I want to use my @me email for my itunes to kind of keep everything organized without using so many different emails. When I go to edit my email address it tells me I can't use an existing account, but it's mine...

    The problem is that you try to merge different Apple IDs (your old account and your me.com account) which is not possible. Apple will not let you do that.
    Quote: "Can I merge multiple Apple IDs into one?

    You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details."

  • HT1349 I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • HT5312 I no longer have access to my primary email for Apple ID and I want to use my rescue email as my primary email. How do I accomplish this?

    I no longer have access to my primary email address that is my Apple ID. I want to use my rescue email as my primary email. I have tried and tried and tried to, but Apple will not let me without accessing my old email account... which I cannot. How can I get my rescue email to be my primary on my Apple ID?

    Hello Heather_M_D,
    I found an article on how to change your Apple ID to another email account. 
    Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    You would have to verify a few conditions first :
    Ensure that the email address you enter:
    Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
    Is a valid email address
    Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
    Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
    If you meet all those conditions (you might have to dissociate the recovery email from your current Apple ID) and your current Apple ID does not end with @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com, you would follow these steps from the article:
    Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
    With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter your new email address.
    Best,

  • I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY?

    I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
    If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it.

  • Get option back - "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server"

    Hello,
    I have a Virgin Mobile USA blackberry.  When I go into the Setup Wizard - Email setup the only option I get is "I want to create or add and email address". 
    How do I get the other option that says "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server" back?  This option was there before I activated the phone but is gone now.  No email accounts have been setup yet.
    I am trying to use this phone with a work account.  I have my Enterpise Activation Password but I have no place to enter it.
    Thanks
    Scott

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Have you tried here:
    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Enterprise Activation

    Given this, I suspect actually that your account, from your carrier, does not include BES. If the above mentioned item is not in your menus, then that would likely confirm this. I suggest you contact your carrier to ensure you have a BES-level account from them.
    Good luck!

    Put the DVD back in your Windows system and make sure the disk is finalized.  Then it should be readable on your Mac.

  • Im wanting to update my iphoto but it keeps saying i have to sign into my old apple id account?

    Im wanting to update my iphoto but it keeps saying i have to sign into my old apple id account?

    That's correct. The Apple ID associated with content from the iTunes Store and Mac App Store content is stored inside the files and can't be changed without deleting that content.

  • HT5312 I tried to download a song but Apple is saying I have not used this computer before

    I tried to download a song but Apple is saying I have not used this computer before and that in order to downloas the song I need to "verify my identity" by answering some securiry qiestions.
    This is wrong because I have downloaded scored of songs on this computer but I answered the security queations anyway, only to be told I have answered incorrectly.
    But the anwers were correct.
    Anyone any ideas what might be happening?
    Thank you.

    Have you re-installed or updated the OS on that computer ? There have also been the occasional post from other people when it hasn't been the first purchase.
    If it's not accepting your answers then the page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT1766 I want to update to IOS 5, it says I have to backup first, but I do not see how to do that

    I want to update to IOS 5, it says I have to backup first, but I do not see how to do that

    If you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes you can force a backup of it by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
    Before starting the update you should copy any purchases off it to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    A first gen iPad will be updated to iOS 5.1.1
