my imac & Mac Book can't FaceTime

I have an iMac & Mac Book Pro, both using the same Apple ID & email address. Face Time is not working between them, what do I need to do?

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Hi shapo,



To FaceTime a contact on your iMac or MacBook Pro, you'll need to FaceTime an Apple ID that is separate from your own.


iOS: Using FaceTime

When calling someone using an iPad 2 or later, iPad mini, iPod touch (4th generation) or later, or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.


On iPad, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them.


To summarize, a separate Apple ID will need to be used on each device.


Cheers!
