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.

  • 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.

  • Problems synching two iPod Touch with movies

    I have two iPod Touches, one 16GB 2g and one 32GB 3g. I use the same computer and iTunes with both iPods.
    I have imported/converted several movies to the iTunes library using HandBrake, and it works excellent.
    The problem is that I'm only able to copy/synch all of the movies to the 3g version, and only two of the movies to the 2g version. I've tried several things, both using iTunes automatisk synch and manually moving/copying the movies to the 2g version. But no matter what I do, only 2 of about 60 short-movies are copied and I don't understand why?!?
    Can somebody please help me

    If you use the same itunes account then you can transfer itunes purchases:

  • Using Facetime on two iPod Touches with one Apple ID

    My wife and I both have new iPod Touches.
    We use a single Apple ID between the two, so all app and song purchases are on one account.
    But it appears we need separate Apple ID's to use Facetime? Is it possible for her to create her own Apple ID just for Facetime, but continue to apply purchases to my Apple ID account?

    Is it possible for her to create her own Apple ID just for Facetime, but continue to apply purchases to my Apple ID account?
    Yes.
    (1) Some users find that they can create one more free email account and associate it with FaceTime as a separate caller iD associated with the same FaceTime iD.
    Then assure that each iPod is configured with a unique Email address showing for the
    FaceTime Account in Settings > FaceTime
    (2) If you have already configured them separately but the problem persists, establish a new Apple iD specifically for use on the second iPod:
      http://appleid.apple.com/
    (3) I think you can configure the same iD for the iTunes Store in both iPod's by entering the same
    info in the Settings > Store of both your iPods.
    However, remember you purchase items via your account, not a specific device.

  • 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.
    Info about dot Mac or Mobile me addresses:

    (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,

    You will need to seek professional help for your confusion, Dave.
    If you think the answer to this question might help you, consider using Little Snitch or something similar to monitor your network traffic.

  • Can I sync my two ipod touches using the same iTunes account

    I have two ipod touches and I am wondering if I can sync my legally bought digital movies from blu-ray discs that are on the cpu and registered, will it sync with two ipod touches with the same iTunes account.

    The movies on the laptop are just digital copies. A lot of newer blu-ray movies come out with the blu-ray and a digital copy for the cpu as well. Thanks for responding.

  • We have two Ipod Touches in the Home and two Ipads. Right now one of the Ipads has a separate user indentity. Can both Ipods be used to use the same library with different user ids's and different passwords.

    We have two Ipod touches and two Ipads in our home. Right now both Ipods are using the same used id and password to access itunes and sync music. But recently both os us have downloaded the Ibooks segment to our Ipads and now the only way to sync the second Ipad for Ibooks is to use the same used id and password. But the problem is that with our two Ipads in the home, we established two separate used ids and passwords one for each. Is there a way for me to still use the second Ipod touch and the second Ipad with completely separate userids and passwords. In other words to share the music library I have accumulated and yet to sign in each with our separate identities. That way the Ipads can sync and the Ipod touches can sync. Is this possible.

    This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

  • Bought two Ipod touches. I linked them with the same apple ID. Was I suppose to do that? If not, how do I change it to where we both still can have access to my main account?

    I bought two ipod touches. One for my daughter and one for myself. I set hers up the other day and then set mine up this morning. I used the same ID for both. When I went to use mine and check out games, it had her user name on there. Can I have two different ID's off of one email address? How can I change this to where her and I don't share any of the information?

    You can rename one of he devices: iTunes: How to rename your device
    After that set up a new user on your computer adn sync one of the ipods to this one. Everybody will have his own iTunes library, contacts, calendars etc. after that.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Two iPod Touch and One iTunes Account

    I have two iPod Touches. I sync one of them to my Mac, for which I have downloaded and installed the 1.1.3 update on one of them and purchased the new applications for it. Now I would like to download and install the same to the other iPod Touch, which I sync to a Windows machine.
    The problem arises when I want to download the update again from the iTunes Store. I get a message that informs me I have already purchased the update and would not give me the option to buy it again.
    What is the deal here? I have only one account with which to log in to the iTunes Store. I don't need another one. Or do you have to have an account for every iPod you own?
    Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

  • I have two iPod touch games trying to connect on mine craft. the one trying to join the game just keeps "searching for wifi games", we are in the same house, wifi working. HELP

    I have two ipod touch. When trying to join game the second keeps "searching wifi games", we have connected with a friend before here. can't seem to connect HELP

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!
