Same Skype Account on Multiple Devices

I hope I am posting this in the right place.
So I have a Skype program running on my Macbook and had the app running on my iTouch. For both devices I was logged in with the same Skype account. I really didn't like how things were going for the Skype app on my iTouch, so I removed it. For a couple days afterward, I wasn't using the Skype on my Macbook; not Online. However when I came back onto that one, I saw my friend's messages from those past days; trying to talk to me with no reply. When I spoke to him, he says that Skype showed that I was Online. Can someone explain to me what just happened?

That this works like you would exspect is one of the key features today so this should really work or they can delte skype from internet totally.
There is no use for a program you cfannot log in to. And if a comunicating program will not let you communicate it is even worse. Both the same time is pretty amazing that they do not fix.
Also you cannot call them and there is no email addres and to find any way of communicating with them you have to dig deep. Once you find it even if you are logged in to your account in your browser sometimes you have to logg in one more time to send and that is if it works at all.

HT204380 Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Yes you can use the same Apple ID on multiple devices and FaceTime with each one. You have to associate a different email address on all but one of the devices.
Lets say you have two iPads and two iPods..... All sharing the same Apple ID. When you set up FaceTime on three of the devices, you have to associate another mail address in Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for Video calls at>Add Another email address. Add a different email address in that setting and let Apple verify the address.
After that email address has been verified by Apple (they send you an email to that address so look for it in the inboxes of that email account and follow the instructions in the email), then remove the Apple ID email address on each of those three devices. You can use the primary Apple ID email on the fourth device.
Obviously, you have to have additional email addresses but you can set up free email accounts with AOL, Yahoo, gmail .... and you can use the email address just for FaceTime if you like.

IOS 8 find friends on same icloud account with multiple devices

This has been bugging me and I have not found a workable answer to it anytime I have searched. iOS seems to have broken a simple functionality of find my friends. I have 2 iPhones on my iCloud account, in iOS 7 it was simple to share the location in find friends, that is now broken. I have read the directions about going to >settings.iCloud>share my location on the device and choosing what device to share the location from, that is simple, the problem is that it sets that as the device to share the location on for ALL the devices on the account. How can I get the old individual control over the devices that has been lost? This seems like it should be a simple "Apple, it just works" feature that is now convoluted.

Ok, figured it out myself. My first problem was that for some reason my phone hadn't activated properly with iMessage / FaceTime (my phone number was unchecked in the You can be reached by FaceTime At section in FaceTime settings). That required switching off FaceTime and iMessage and switching them back on again after a short wait so that they could activate properly, which they did.
Once that was done, my FaceTime settings (on my iPhone) had a new option: iPhone Mobile Calls:
My wife's phone also has that setting. Choosing which phone is used is just a question of only having this setting enabled on one phone at a time. I assume (all though I haven't tried it) that if both phones are enabled in this way, FaceTime on iPad or Mac gives you the choice of which phone/number to use. It wasn't giving me a choice earlier because there was only one phone enabled.

Can I share an iTunes account with multiple devices?

I had an iPhone 3GS. Just upgraded to an iPhone 5C. I'd like to save the 3GS for our daughter to use as an iPad Touch. I realize that I'll need to wipe the 3GS clean and start over with new apps for her. I have a few questions:
Can I use my same iTunes account for both devices, or must I create a new iTunes account for my daughter's app and music purchases?
How do I change the device name in iTunes, so that her iPhone no longer bears my name?
Also, can I sync both devices on the same computer, or is it better to use different computers for the two devices?
Thank you!

Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices

Can I use the same Apple ID for multiple devices?

Yes. Up to five devices can be authorized on a single computer using the same Apple ID. You can also use the same Apple ID on multiple devices is they are all going to use the same iTunes Library by the same user. But it's ill-advised if multiple users are involved who wish to keep their devices separate from the devices belonging to other users.
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Can I use the same administrator password on multiple devices

Can I use the same administrator password on multiple devices? (ie) MacBook Pro and Powerbook G 4

Hello,
I use the same password on all my Macs. Provided you have set the user accounts with the same password, you will be fine.

Same apple id for multiple devices

I have been use the same apple id for multiple devices (both are iPhones running iOS 6 - one is a 4, the other a 4S.) I'd like to sync separate content for each device using the same instance of iTunes (iTunes V 10.7 installed on MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.) Can I assign the second device a separate apple id in odrer to differentiate the content? Thanks for your assistance!

No, a second Apple ID will not work. iTunes can already tell them apart.
When you connect the first iPhone to iTunes, check and uncheck the things you want and Sync.
Do the same with the second iPhone.

One account on multiple devices

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to get one account on multiple devices. I know that a personal iTunes account is allowed on at least five devices but I'm trying to get one business account on say "100 devices" is this possible?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi rRamiro,
You are correct that with personal Apple IDs you can download apps on 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). The only way to use a single Apple ID on say 100 devices is through the use of Apple Configurator. (click the link and scroll down to the section for Apple Configurator to learn more)
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. Most developers will offer a 50% discount on their app when 20 or more VPP licenses are purchased in a single transaction.
With Apple Configurator you can distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
Hope this answers your question!

TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

HT204053 using same apple id on multiple devices

Can you set up multiple devices(iphone, itouch, ipad) with the same apple id?

I have four devices using my Apple ID and I have all four setup to use messages and FaceTime on all of them by using different email addresses as the "contact at" email address.
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached for iMessages at>Add another email address. She can add her personal email address. Apple will verify it - it will say "verifying". Go the inbox of that email account and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
Then go back to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached for iMessages at>Uncheck your email address as the contact address and check hers to select it as the contact address.
Do the same thing in the FaceTime settings in the appropriate fields.

ISE1.1 - Use of one guest account on multiple devices

I have ISE1.1 with local web authentication process for "Guest" Wi-Fi. I faced a problem in bulk guest account creation and TAC filed a bug - CSCup38457: "importing guest account CSV fails via sponsor portal"
Now, I need to allow guests to connect to "Guest" Wi-Fi using multiple devices (approx. 200). My queries are below:
1- Is it possible to permit one guest account to be used by approx. 200 devices at same time?
2- On how many devices single guest account can be used?
3- Is there any limitation or abnormal behavior in terms of guest portal for such cases?

Are you sure that is true?
When I look at the restriction on device registration I read that as applicable only to Device Self Registration, not to normal guest access.
So as far as guest sessions per user I can either choose to limit to one with the check box, or allow infinite.
And the Device Registration Portal Limit applies to self registration of devices, not just standard guest access. The OP doesn't look like he wants to register devices, he just wants to allow guest access for multiple devices.
This is how I read it anyway. Please let me kno if you think otherwise.
If this is not the case, then is it not possible to create a standard Network Access User (not through guest portal) and have as many users access this as you need? In this case 200. As long as you disable password changes/expirations/lockouts etc.
If not I may be in trouble :-)

We have three Ipads in our house. We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV. My question is about our three Ipads. How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Ryan

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
iTunes- How to share music and video
iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

Same developer account to multiple workspaces

I'm not sure if I am just missing something in the documentation or what, but I'd like to give the same developer account access to multiple workspaces. When I create a new developer, I see the text field for default workspace, but I can only pick one entry. Is there a way to give the same developer account access to multiple workspaces?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
...I see the text field for default workspace...
The text field is for default schema.
Accounts are created for single workspaces only. However you can create an account having the same name (and password) in any number of workspaces.

Having to delete your same iMessage conversations on multiple devices with iCloud enabled

I have iCloud enabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Apple could possibly develop a feature where if one device with iCloud that is turned on deletes a message conversation, it deletes the converstation on your other (turned on) iCloud devices as well. This way, when you switch from using your iPhone to iPad, you will not have the 10 different converstations you started on your iPhone that were deleted, on your iPad to delete as well.

I'm sorry I'm not being clear. I know that the sent boxes are separate. What I meant by combined mailboxes was the inboxes for each of the two accounts across all devices. That is, say, for my MobileMe inbox, being able to see all contents of the MobileMe inbox on all my devices, regardless of which device I first read the message on. And then the same for the other mailbox too. And finally, for these to be marked read / unread on a consistent basis and to be notified on the iOS devices too.
Not too much to ask?!
