Multiple FaceTime addresses for one e-mail address
I was hoping you could elaborate on this one a little bit. I am left confused. I have Facetime for Mac both at work and at home; i have Facetime on my iPhone and Facetime on my iPad.
They are all linked to the same address.
I can't seem to make it work at all. To begin with, I don't know how to append email addresses and where. I use all my contacts as Google Contacts.
If I can make this work, this would be brilliant.

This is where FaceTime comes in. FaceTime lets you make video and audio calls to people when your communication needs a more personal touch. Follow this guide to learn your way around FaceTime for Mac. How to set up FaceTime on Mac; How to place a call in FaceTime; How to add an email address in FaceTime. Apr 14, 2012 Both aliases were created under my main iCloud E-Mail that was set up when you first set up iCloud. This way I can Facetime between my iPhone and Mac or between my iPhone and my wife's iPhone or my Mac and wife's iPhone.

I was under the impression that '+something' was a Gmail feature, not something common to email providers in general. Was I mistaken?
I suggest to try it with your own email before proceeding. It is known to work with Google and MobileMe, and with Yahoo you use a hyphen instead of a plus.

I usually use this when I enter my email address on websites, in an attempt to try to identify where some of my spam is coming from. I don't know about the other services, but I know in gmail that you can also put periods anywhere in your username and still have the email get to you (ex. [email protected] goes to [email protected].) This is at least somewhat useful when sites will not accept a '+' in the username - I just keep a record of where I have used which username.
Multiple FaceTime addresses for one e-mail address
Sorry about that guys. As someone else posted the '+' feature seems to only work with certain email services (GMail, and MobileMe are supported), some services allow you to use a hyphen ('-') such as Yahoo Mail. You should verify that this works before trying this I suppose.
To those asking where to do this, go to your Settings (on iOS devices) and go to FaceTime settings and click 'Add Another Email' and enter the new address (eg [email protected]). After you add this address you will be able to remove the original address.

Yeah I gotta say the original poster will have to elaborate on this a LOT to explain it. Simply appending some text to your email does not make a customizable connection for FaceTime.

Nba jam by ea sports mac free online. While some ISP's may support 'appending' extra characters to your e-mail address 'prefix', it is best to verify this operation before proceeding. It could be a + or a - or it simply could not be available. Popular MTA's like courier and exim have support for this, but again the ISP has to enable this support and document it for their users.
As for if this actually works, I do not know as I still use iChat.
Another option would be for owners of domain names. If you own your domain name and you use it for e-mail you should be able to set up an e-mail alias that you can use for each device. As an example, [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. These could all be aliases for [email protected] which is the one true e-mail address.
Any ways, I hope everyone sorts it out and finds a solution that works best.

I strongly recommend against doing this. Every new “FaceTime” account is a fully-featured Apple ID. You don’t want more than one Apple ID, because you cannot merge Apple IDs. In general, having more than one is a royal pain.
Multiple FaceTime addresses for one e-mail address
This works for me.
I have a '[email protected]' and a '[email protected]' and '[email protected]'
I left the '[email protected]' on my mobile devices, but my home computer to only respond to the '[email protected]'
Now I have a universal call ID for facetime, and a way to call a specific device.
I also changed the 'Caller ID' for each device to be specific.
Great hint. I mean a super duper great hint.

Great info on being able to add a '+' to an email address. It works on my Zimbra account (run by Yahoo). Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jon, it worked perfectly for me using my Mail account, actually entering a different [email protected] address on each device right in the Facetime 'add.. address' field. Thanks again
Multiple FaceTime addresses for one e-mail address
I've tried this, with mixed results. I have a dotmac address which is my 'Apple ID', and I have several other email addresses (within a domain name that I own) attached to the account for FaceTime purposes.
What I've done is add the common 'user@domain' address to all of the devices (three Macs and an iPad 2), and add a device-specific address to each device (i.e. 'user-ipad@domain', 'user-laptop@domain', etc.)
What I'm finding is that, if I use one of my devices to call another device, if I use that other device's specific address, the call works perfectly, but if I use the common address, the call 'rings' on all of my devices, but the device I'm using to initiate the call (i.e. the one I'm calling 'from') immediately refuses the call, before any of the other devices have a chance to answer it.
My work-around for now is to remove the common address from the device before making a call, then add it back after I'm done. It works, but it's a bit of a kluge.
I haven't seen the FaceTime protocols, but I would imagine there is some kind of per-call unique identifier involved. I've submitted a suggestion to Apple that they make the FaceTime program ignore incoming calls (rather than rejecting them) if the incoming call identifier matches the identifier of a call which is currently being 'dialed'. Hopefully this will be in a future upgrade.

My boys both have Ipod touches and want to both use facetime. At the moment both of their ipods are linked to my Apple ID so that I am in control of purchases - they don't know the password! They both have facetime and I have set up their own email addresses for facetime. However, they cannot connect to each other on facetime and when someone tries to connect to one of them both of their Ipods ring!
Is there a way to have 2 individual facetime accounts under one Apple ID? If not, then if I have to set up seperate Apple IDs then assume they will lose all the music / app puchases?
Can anyone give me some assistance please?????

There’s a lesser-known feature of most email services that let you essentially set up separate email addresses that connect to your primary mailbox. They’re called aliases.
But while email aliases have been around forever, they’re commonly underused. If you use an iCloud email address as your primary account, you can set up multiple aliases that connect to it. Here’s how, as well as why you might want to.

- 4 How to filter iCloud aliases
Why you may want to use an iCloud email alias
You can probably already guess some of the benefits of having an email address that isn’t your primary one. Want to sign up for a service or newsletter but don’t want to give out your actual address? Use an alias.
It’s also handy to use iCloud aliases in public-facing posts or websites, so you can post an email address without getting a deluge of spam emails.
This is especially useful because aliases are easily deletable. Apple’s iCloud service lets you create and delete these additional identities at will. That’s a bit harder to do — if not impossible — with your primary email account.
Inpage latest version free download 2020. Aliases are also useful for filtering, since you can actually separate messages sent to these emails into different mailboxes.
Of course, there’s also identity. If you have a less professional-sounding email address, you can set up an alias with your full name and use that for business correspondence.
So, why not just use multiple email accounts? Well, you could. But then you’d have to remember the passwords and login credentials to access each of them separately. With iCloud aliases, all of your addresses are accessible in one account. It’s a lot more convenient.
How to set up iCloud aliases
For some reason, you can only set up iCloud email aliases as Apple’s iCloud.com website. So you’ll need a device with a web browser.
Do keep in mind that mobile devices, like smartphones or tablets, may not get the full iCloud.com experience. Similarly, some of the web apps may run a bit buggier on a mobile device. In other words, try to use a browser on a computer.
- Head to iCloud.com and login with your Apple ID credentials.
- Click on the Mail icon to open the Mail web app.
- Click the gear icon in the lower-left corner of the screen.
- In the dropdown menu, select Preferences.
- Click on Account.
- Finally, just click on Add an Alias.
- Name your alias. You can also add a label and label color to help differentiate it from your other aliases or accounts.
You can have up to three aliases connected to your primary iCloud.com account. And, as we mentioned, you can delete them at will. (If you do device to do so, keep in mind that you may not be able to get the same address back.)
In the Accounts tab, you can also disable select aliases. That effectively “turns them off” but keeps them associated with your iCloud.com so you can easily reenable them later.
How to use an iCloud alias
As we mentioned, emails sent to one of your iCloud aliases are effectively just sent to your primary mailbox. In the From line, you’ll see an email tagged with its particular alias. You can set up a filter, which we’ll get to later.
You can, of course, send emails from your alias, too. The process can be a bit tricky, however.
For example, on Apple’s mobile devices, you’ll need to enable and disable individual addresses in the Allow Sending From list in Settings —> Password & Accounts —> (Your iCloud Account) —> iCloud — Mail. This is because users can’t choose which alias to use directly in the Mail app.
On macOS, you’ll want to head to Mail —> Preferences —> Accounts. Click the iCloud entry and select your default “send from” address in the Email Address list.
How to filter iCloud aliases
It’s also helpful to filter out emails sent to specific iCloud aliases. This isn’t baked-in functionality, so you’ll need to set up a Mail rule to do so. But it’s incredibly handy for spam and website sign-up purposes.
As an example, we’ll set up a rule that sends all emails to an alias straight to the trash.
- Log into iCloud.com.
- Click the Mail icon and then Preferences.
- Click the Accounts button.
- Then, click on Preferences.
- Click on the Rule pane and then Add a Rule.
- Under the If a message, select is addressed to and enter the alias that you don’t want to see messages from. Under the Then heading, select Move to Trash and Mark as Read.
- Click on Done when you’re finished.
Please let us know if you have any questions around setting up and using iCloud email account aliases. If you have not tried yet, go ahead and follow this step-by-step guide and try it out today!
