I have two IPad registered in my name. I would like to leave one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime while I travel. I cannot get this to work between the two iPads. What am I doing wrong?

I have an old IPad 2 and a new IPad. They are both registered to my name . I would like to leave the old one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime when I travel. I have tried this at home with the two iPads and cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

Hey Lft1033,


You'll want to have your husband sign up on the older iPad with his own Apple ID. First, on the old iPad, sign out of your Apple ID:

To sign out of your Apple ID

Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.


Then, sign in with the other Apple ID, and that should work. If it doesn't work after having separate Apple IDs on each iPad, check out the following document where, towards the bottom, there is a "Troubleshooting FaceTime calls" section:
