Why do two devices on the same plan both ring when someone is trying to facetime me? My mother in law got my father on his iPad when i didnt answer fast enough!

My Mother-in- law tried to Facetime me last night so she could see my daughter. My phone rang for FT but I didn't get to it in time. I thought she hung up. Turns out my fathers ipad rang across town and he answered it. we are on the same plan and both use the same iTunes accnt.

Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
If so, don't. While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
iCloud
FaceTime
Messages
Use a unique personal Apple ID. Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that. The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages. Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

Look into using Apple Configurator. It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.
Here is the link:

Talking to two devices, at the same time.

Hi,
I wonder you could help me with my solution.
I'm using GPIB to talk to two devices. I need to reset and align one device A and control the device B. The process A can take up to 2 minutes. The process B is to cool off the DUT to demanded temperature and it can take up to 3 minutes to achieve the demanded temperature. To monitor these processes I use pull method and:
for process A I use the STATPER:COND? query (is it 1?)
for process V I use TEMP? query (get temperature, is the answer within the limits to exit?)
Now, I do these processes one by one. But, because both the processes have to be done each time before DUT is tested (as a part of a setting up the test routine), I'd like to save some test time. Technically, both two processes are independent, I can trigger them almost at the same time and wait when the longer one finishes itself, and them move to the tests part.
However, the first attempt of doing go was unsuccessful. When I issued the STATPER:COND? query within the connection to the device A it looks like all GPIB bus is blocked and I cannot issue the TEMP? query to the device B, as the bus seems to be waiting for the STATPER:COND? command sent to the device A to finish.
Strange thing is that then I issue the STATPER:COND? command for first time, the device is not able to accept any other commands.
Why?
What is proper approach to to this test time saving?
Solved!

X-Series Signal Analyzer Spectrum Analyzer Mode User's and Programmer's Reference is to be downloaded from the web.
below are some exerpts from this manual
you can query and interpret the details with visa write and reads and a bit of bit analysing. I have no time to search for a working example.
How to Use the Status Registers
A program often needs to be able to detect and manage error conditions or changes in instrument status. There are two methods you can use to programmatically access the information in status registers:
• The polling method
• The service request (SRQ) method
In the polling method, the instrument has a passive role. It only tells the controller that conditions have changed when the controller asks the right question. The polling method works well if you do not need to know about changes the moment they occur. To detect a change using the polling method, the program must repeatedly read the registers.
To monitor a condition:
a.Determine which register contains the bit that reports the condition.
b.Send the unique SCPI query that reads that register.
c.Examine the bit to see if the condition has changed.
To query the status byte register, send the command *STB? The response will be the decimal sum of the bits which are set to 1. For example, if bit number 7 and bit number 3 are set to 1, the decimal sum of the 2 bits is 128 plus 8. So the decimal value 136 is returned. The *STB command does not clear the status register. In addition to the status byte register, the status byte group also contains the service request enable register. This register lets you choose which bits in the status byte register will trigger a service request.
Send the *SRE <integer> command where <integer> is the sum of the decimal values of the bits you want to enable plus the decimal value of bit 6. For example, assume that you want to enable bit 7 so that whenever the standard operation status register summary bit is set to 1 it will trigger a service request. Send the command

Multiple Devices on the same plan?

I always manage to leave my MiFi Mobile Hot Spot at home for use with equipment there and forget to bring it along when I leave home, travel etc. Is it possible to add another device such as a USB modem to the same account/plan so I always have access?

Keep your existing AppleID for the iTunes Store and AppStore on both devices, and then setup a new AppleID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime just for your wife's iPad so those services remain independent.

How to use the find Iphone app on two devices with the same itunes and apple id number?

I have two Iphones connected to the same apple id . I am unable to use the find my iphone app on both devices. It only works on one!! Please help! It is driving me crazy lol!!

The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account. If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

Command line - two devices with the same name

I have two identical logitech usb webcams on the same system,
and I'm trying to use the command line to encode from each. The
problem is that the xml profile requires the device name, but both
devices are listed using the exact same name, so the command line
only ever chooses one of the cameras as the source. Using the GUI,
I can select one or the other because they both appear in the drop
down list.
Is there a way to specify the device index ala ActionScript,
or another way to specify the device? I tried renaming the camera
in the WinXP control panel, but that change was not seen by FME.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem - I tried attaching my Canopus
ADVC 1000 adapters to different Firewire chains (motherboard and
PCI-based) but that didn't help.

Bluetooth - Connecting two devices at the same time on a Run (Bluetooth Mot headset

Thank you for the information. So if I were to return the new bluetooth keyboard, should I purchase the "Palm 3169WWZ Wireless Keyboard", or is there another model I should be looking for? (From what I can tell, I believe this one will use IR.)
THANKS!
Correct, that's the one I use.
Be sure to download the newest driver (1.13) for the keyboard from the Palm Support pages for the keyboard:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/keyboards/palmuniversalwirelesskeyboard/unlocked/downloads/page_...
Do not install the driver that comes with the device on the disk - 1.13 is designed for the TX and fixes a bug that existed in the original driver.

Why does two iPhones show the same text

MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones. (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID. If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.

Two devices on the same computer?

I am thinking about getting and iPhone. I already have an iPod mini. Can I sync both of them to my computer, or will iTunes only allow you to sync with one device? I know I will end up using only my iPHone, but the iHome product I have will not allow the iPhone.. so I will need to fill both devices.
If I can sync both, can you control how much is going on them? I know that the iPhone can take more. So can I set it to take more?
Thanks

Seriously... the text thing is getting really old. We've been patient for a long time and I thought something as simple as the time being out of sync with whatever would be a pretty simple fix. What's taking so long, Apple? It's bad enough we have to deal with ATT's incompetence without having issues on your end too.

Thanks.
