How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
Thanks,
Dave

Other options not covered in the article:
1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

    I am trying to update a clients ipad (who does not have access to internet at his residence) on my personal computer.  When I open up itunes with his apple ID, I continue to get my itunes library information.  I don't want to mix my information with his information.  How do you set up a different i pad/itunes on the same computer?  What I need to do is update the version of his i pad as his i pad is version 4.2.1.  Thank you

    I need to add my husband's iTunes library to my Apple comnputer that has iTunes and my library on it already - can I add his device and keep it separate from mine?

    You should create a new compuer login account for him (System prefs > Users & Accounts) and he will have all his own data including his own iTunes library.
    Also, you can have more than one device in iTunes and sync different content.

  • How can you share picture between different user on one computer

    I am trying to move pictures from one user I photo to another user on the same computer but not sure how to do it can anyone help?

    Just the Photos?
    Export from one user (File -> Export) to the FInder. Drag the images to the Users/Shared folder. Change user and then import from there.
    Or use iPhoto Sharing:
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • How do i set up two different ID accounts to one Mac

    I have a Mac book pro and was wondering how you set up two different user ID's to one Mac.
    I have logged out of itunes and set up two different libaries, when I log into one libary and log into Itunes all of my origional music is shown but when I log into the additional user ID and again into Itunes none of my purchases are shown.
    If i go onto my account i have authorised the Mac but in my account it says only one computer is authorised to play / download purchases.
    Any ideas on how to download my origional purchases?

    Move them from one library to the other, or click here and follow the instructions.

  • HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

  • Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

    I had two accounts on one computer until recently. You need to use two user accounts on the computer. Note, I say I did it until recently, therefore I'm not able to confirm this still works, but assume it does.

  • How do you merge two different users on one computer?

    I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account.  How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

    You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
    You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
    1) Log in to the A account.
    2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
    3) Log in to the B account.
    4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
    5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
    6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
    Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
    Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.
