Trouble doing FaceTime with iPad 2 using email address. Please help?

I have an iPhone 4S my wife also has an iPhone 4S
I have iPad 2 as well.
While at home connected to the same wifi source
I am able to do FaceTime video chat with each phone just by dialing the number of the other phone
I am able to do FaceTime connection from iPad2 by dialing either one of the phone numbers
However if I try to do FaceTime with iPad2 using the registered email account
it says busy call back
I went to work and connected my iPhone to another wifi
I tried FaceTime with with the iPad2 using the registered email it says myphone or iPad is busy
Both the iPhones and the iPad2 have the same registered email address
Even if I enter an alternate eamil address in iPad2 it still says my phone or iPad is2 busy call back
iphone 2 iphone using same wifi ok
ipad to iPhone using the same wifi ok
ipad to iPhone with each using different wifi it is still ok
however iphone to Ipad using the registered email address it is not going through
whether the ipad is connected to the same wifi or different wifi
Any suggestions
Indyram

Figured it out
Here are some tips
If you want to Facetime using email address with another apple device
be it iPhone or iPad each individual device has to have a unique email address
You can have the same ID for billing purposes but for FaceTime connection
it has to have different email addresses
In Settings select Facetime and make sure you have different email addresses
If not you will get a busy signal
To connect to an iPad you have to use the email address assigned to the facetime of that iPad
To connect to the iPhone you can use either email address or the phone number
Hope this will help some one

You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help I have signed out of iCloud and iTunes. I really need to change the email address as the 1 that is currently

What happens when you try to change the email address ? You should be able to edit your primary email address (as long as it's not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by logging into on http://appleid.apple.com
Changing primary email address : Change your Apple ID.

How to update password with out of use email address

I have adobe digital editions on my desktop computer - it is authorized to an old out of use email. I can read books on the desktop.
On my Note3 phone, I can log into adobe using my new current email but I can't open eBooks.
I can't use the old email to log in because the password has to be verified with a confirmation email to that old non-existent address.
How do I escape this conundrum?
1) I would like to authorize my computer using my current email.
2) I would like to authorize my new Note3 phone - so I can read my DRM protected books.
Thanks.

thanks for the website link. I still haven't quite figured out how to overcome this problem.
How do I change my account email if I have forgotten my password. It's really a catch 22 since the new password is sent to my old and defunct email address.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Skype stolen email address please help.

Few days ago I returned from my holiday. Someone must have had access to my Mac and changed Skype email address and my password.
My Skype username remains the same and the password is shown decrypted below my username. I can still log-in and use Skype as usual.
- Is there any change to retrieve the Skype password?
- Is it maybe saved somewhere on the hard disc so I can access data and change Email and PW?
Thank you for your help - much appreciated!!!!

patagonia123 there is no reason for you to get rude to someone who is trying to be helpful. Whether you realize it or not this is forum venue is for Apple hardware abd software. That said shldr2the wheel was directing you to where you can get help. From what you've said how do you know someone had access to your Mac and changed the info you describe? If that was so you wouldn't be able to log into skype. Try the skype forums.

Validating email address - please help?

hi,
i have registration form in jsf, and i have a field for an email address, i was wandering if anyone knows how to validate the email address, when this is submitted to a javabean, to make sure it is an actual valid email address and that both email addresses ( re-entered ) entered are the same.
so what i really want is the javacode for the javabean that can validate the email address to make sure it is valid.
any help is appreciated
thanks.

Here's how I did a Postal code validation:
public void validatePostalCode(FacesContext context, UIComponent toValidate, java.lang.Object inputValue) throws
ValidatorException {
Pattern pattern;
String expression = "\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}"; // x9x9x9
String value = null;
try {
value = inputValue.toString();
pattern = Pattern.compile(expression);
this.postalCodeValidationError = !pattern.matcher(value).matches();
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ValidatorException(
new FacesMessage(
"Validation Error: Value " +
"cannot be converted to String.",
null));
if (this.postalCodeValidationError) {
// Here you do what ever you want when the validation fails
// Like generating an error in JSF ... see ValidatorException
On your JSP page add "validator="#{yourBean.validatePostalCode}"" to your inputText tag.
It would be a good idea to read on Java's regular expression stuff to fihure out the expression you need to pass to Pattern.compile(expression) in order to validate the email address.
Hope this help. Cheers

Problems with adjusting volume using Airport Express - please help!

I have set up Airport Express and I can now wirelessly play ITunes through my stereo. However, adjusting the volume is a nightmare. Using the ITunes volume control it gets so loud that the speakers almost blow despite it being on the lowest volume on the volume bar. Making it quieter (by sliding the control minutely to the left) turns the volume to so quiet I cannot hear it! How can I have a normal control of the volume. The volume control on the amplifier does not alter the volume if played via ITunes wirelessly. I have searched for volume preferences but nothing works. Any advice before my neighbours kill me?

I have mine plugged in to Tape In on a Bose Lifestyle console. The volume via the Bose remote works fine as does the iTunes slider, although it has to be said it is a little tricky to fine tune the iTunes volume level from the slider.
If your inputs are correct you should be able to use the volume control on the amp.

Why does iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?

Why does my iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off? It also does it whenever I type it in Safari (but not Chrome) and it only does it with one of my email addresses and not any of my other ones (i.e., yahoo, hotmail, etc.).
Thanks so much for your help!

I don't see visible underscores in that login form, but they appear to be entered (that form isn't high enough to show them for me).
You can verify that in the Scratchpad and use Execute > Display after pasting the below posted code.
* Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)

I have an "old" Apple ID set up 13 years ago. Apple has now gone to using email address as the apple ID. I have apps to update and they ask for old ID. it does not exist. How can I get the ID on the app changed to the new apple ID

I set up an apple id many years ago when itunes was established. Within the past year or so, Apple has changed to using email address as user id. My problem is that I have many applications that I can not update due to the fact that it is asking for the password of the old ID. It does not exist anymore. Any ideas on how to get the new apple id associated with the application without deleting the application. Several of these apps I purchased.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices,

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

Why can I not verify my Apple ID? I keep getting this message after trying: "the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id"

Hi all,
I tried this and it worked:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
4) Change the email address associated with your account.
5) Send new verification email
I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
5) Click the Save Changes button.
If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
3) Select the Manage your account link.
4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
Good luck!

Can I sync two iPads with different users and email addresses on the same computer

Facetime with IPad

Can I do facetime chat to Ipad2-Wifi which is with My family in India from my Iphone 4

When you setup FaceTime you "register" the main email address you will be associating with your FaceTime profile. It then becomes like a FaceTime phone number. Once you have registered your main email address, you can add additional email addresses so that if you have multiple email addresses, your contacts will be able to contact you.
So you would call the email address that was setup with your family's ipad2 or they can call your email address that you setup on your iPhone4 (which will only ring if your iPhone4 is on WiFi)
