Signing In

To use FaceTime, you need an Apple ID. If you have an iTunes Store account, MobileMe account, or other Apple account, you can use that Apple ID with FaceTime. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one when you open FaceTime.

You don’t need to sign in or out every time you use FaceTime. Once you sign in, you can start a FaceTime call right away.

Sign in to FaceTime:

1Open FaceTime, enter your Apple ID and password, then tap Sign In. If you don’t already have an Apple account, you can tap Create New Account and set one up now.

2On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address others should use to call you in

FaceTime, then tap Next. If this is the first time you’ve used this address for FaceTime, you may need to check for new email in that account and reply to the confirmation message from Apple. (If you’ve already added the account to Mail on iPad, verification is automatic.)

Now you can choose a contact and start a FaceTime call, and others can call you using the email address you provided. If you use more than one email address, you can add the others as described below.

Create a new account:

1Open FaceTime and tap Create New Account.

2Follow the onscreen instructions. The email address you enter will be the Apple ID for the new account.

3On the FaceTime screen, enter the email address you want others to use to call you. This address doesn’t need to be the same as the address you entered for your Apple ID, but it must be a working email address.

4Reply to the confirmation email sent from Apple to the email address you entered in the previous step.

If you have more than one email address, you can let people call you using any of them. Add email addresses: Choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Add Another Email.

Sign out: You don’t normally need to sign out of FaceTime—just sign in once, and open FaceTime later without being asked to sign in again. You can’t receive FaceTime calls while you’re signed out. But if you do need to sign out, choose Settings > FaceTime, then tap Account.

Turn off FaceTime: If you don’t want to receive FaceTime calls, choose Settings >

FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
