Multiple iPod Touchs with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID

I have Multiple iPod Touchs (7 to be exact) with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID using different email addresses but all connected to the same WiFi network. Problem is that when I try to call one from another, multiples ring. I can call my iPhone4 with no problems even when the iPhone4 is on the same WiFi (iPhone4 is also linked to the same Apple ID). From what I have read, this should work and, in fact, it does.... sorta. Does anyone know how to get the calls to be answered by only the iTouch that is associated with that email that I am calling?
Thanks in advance....

Hey EZ Jim,
Thank you so much for your responce.
You're welcome.
But, actually, that is exactly what I did. For example, I assiged the email address itouchone ... to the first one and itouchtwo ... the second and so on for all seven. Still, they are answering each others calls (usually multiples). For instance, I call itouchone... and itouchone, itouchthree, itouchfour, and itouchseven answer.
(1) If some or all of the seven emails you used are Dot Mac or Mobile Me email addresses, they may be aliases that will not work.

(2) If the seven emails you used are literally those you posted, perhaps creating more and using each as a separate iD rather than merely caller iDs associated with only one iD could get FaceTime working.
I would start with only two iPods. Once you can make two work, you can replicate the solution five more times.
(3) Did you consider all relevant info in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
I am totally confused. Could it be that facetime is sending out both the primary ID and the associated id? Help!!!
Thanks again,

  • Can I use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime?

      I have been trying to use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime.  Will it work?  How do I sign in?  When I click on Preferences the preferences window does not appear, and preferences in the drop down menu becomes greyed out.  I am using an older Apple Cinema Display.  Also Apple doesn't show the iSight camera for sale on the website.

    Hello Chris
    Pairing an iPod touch to the computer to use the camera is not supported, but you can use any webcam that can be plugged into the computer.

  • Two ipod touches with Facetime

    Both of my kids got new Ipod touch 4gs. They both have a facetime account but are using separate gmail accounts for there emails. The problem we are having is that when their friends call them both of the ipods get the call. Not sure why because they are using different gmail addresses. I am wondering if it is the Apple ID email that is causing the problem as both ipods are on that account.

    I did that and set each of them up on gmail. So the apple ID email isn't listed as a calling address. But they still both recieve the calls at the same time. And when the friends call them they call the gmail calling address. Also what is happening is that only one of them can call the other, meaning my son can't call his sister but his sister can call him. When my son calls his sister it calls but then it goes off and she can't answer the call.

  • Syncing multiple ipod touches with sync cart and not losing apps

    hello!
    I have inherited a apple sync cart with 2 drawers of touches for use in grades k-5. They have not all been synced using the cart (why? I don't know). I would like to sync them all and merge the apps. Is this possible? Some of the teachers have downloaded some great apps that I'd hate to lose. Many of them are free but some were paid.
    We sync using a macbook. Thank you.

    You can e-mail them to yourself - one at a time. They will not be of the original quality.
    You really should back up info/music/pics as hard drives can and do fail.

  • Syncing contacts/calendars on multiple iPod Touch using 1 Apple ID

    My wife and I each have an iPod Touch (5th gen) connected to a single Apple ID.
    We each have our own calendars and contacts and do not want to mix them together. Unfortunately, I had already upgraded our iMac to 10.9. Contacts and calendars now go through iCloud (grumph!) instead of the local computer. 
    Is there anyway to keep our calendars and contacts separate without adding another Apple ID? That would make managing our music collection impossible.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Create a NEW account/ID 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.

    Use the new ID on one deviceiPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive

    and Settings>iCloud to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Settings>GameCenter                         
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • How to track your ipod touch with serial number?

    Well i lost my ipod touch and I don't know how to find it. Is there anyway to track my ipod touch with my serial number.

    Here is Apple article:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    While Apple might be able to get information when the iPod is connected to iTunes, there would be privacy issues with revealing it to anybody who claimed it was stolen. Just think what would happen if you sold the iPod and later claimed it was stolen or lost.

  • Can I link my ipod Touch with my ipad2?

    Is there a cable that I can buy to link my ipod touch with my ipad 2 so that I can down load music through my ipad?
    Thank you

    You can sync both devices to the same iTunes library and thus have the same apps, music, videso on both.

  • Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

    Hi,
    For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

    Sig,
    Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

  • Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • I have a 4g ipod touch with tons of problems. So i was wondering if i could get it replaced at my local Apple store. But its out of warranty. How much will it cost?

    I have a 4g ipod touch with tons of problems.
    The home button no longer responds and when it does it takes at least 10 minutes of repeatedly clicking it.
    When my ipod turns off it takes hours to a day for it to turn back on.
    Should i replace it, and if so, how much will that cost?
    Is it repairable?

    I do have service and repair coverage! Thank you for that link
    Does that mean I can replace it for no cost or that its just for repair service?

  • How to track down my lost ipod touch with out having mobile me as a app???

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK DOWN A IPOD TOUCH WITH OUT HAVING MOBILE ME AS A APP?

    You cannot. Sorry.  You could try calling it via facetime, if  you have facetime, and listen for the ringing.
    BTW, typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.
    Many simply do not read such posts.

  • Wifi for multiple ipod touches

    Trying to get multiple ipod touch units online with a single Apple router. I can get 5 connections and then the 6th+ won't allow a connection. Tried different routers that will run 20+ computers wirelessly but still stuck on only 5 ipod touches allowed at a time. Help!

    You need to make sure the DHCP range is wide enough for all the devices you are running. I can think of nothing that would prevent you from running as many as you want at one time. Go to an Apple store - they probably have 50+ iPhones and touches on line at any given moment.
    Anyway, more information about your network setup would be helpful. You didn't really post enough information to come up with any kind of meaningful help.

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.
