How many computers can sync to one ipad?

I teach at a university.  Our department is discussing ordering several iPads (maybe iPod Touches, also) for faculty to share.  Faculty would be creating materials for the classroom and using the iPad in place of written/printed notes and/or for presentations.  The question I raised is how many computers can sync to one iPad?  My assumption is that individual faculty would create such materials on their office or personal computers, then load those materials onto an iPad. 

All iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, Touch) are designed to sync with a single iTunes library, i.e. a single computer.
You can sync multiple iOS devices to the same iTunes library (same account) or multiple iOS devices to the same computer with different iTunes accounts and libraries.
In your case, if each individual creates their own material, they can sync it from their iTunes account (library) on their computer.
Also, there are many apps out there that allow you to move files from the cloud to the device, i.e. Box.net, Airstash, Dropbox, etc.  Perhaps you could set that up and have individuals create material, sync it to the cloud and then allow others to access it via the iPad.
I suggest you contact other faculty at other universities that may have done this, perhaps via some faculty forums.

  • How many computers can sync with Apple TV at the same time?

    I'm thinking of buying one of these things for my parents as a last-minute Christmas gift. They both have their own iMac, with their own choice of music/movies/photos/etc. If I get them this device and set it up in their living room, could they stream content from both computers to this?

    So all I'd have to do for set up, is turn on the "share library" in their iTunes? Alright, sounds easy enough.
    No, AppleTV's are set up in a specific manner.
    You can sync with 1 iTunes library, and stream from several.
    Synced material is seen under My Music, My Movies categories of the respective media types (Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts), and if iTunes is running any compatible material that hasn't synced (copied to AppleTV in order to play if computer is off) can be streamed as needed.
    Streaming libraries that don't sync are selected under a My Shared Music/Movies etc category,and stream as needed, but only one is selected at a time.
    To set up a library to sync/stream, AppleTV announces itself across the network to itunes, and a 5 digit code appears on the connected TV which is then entered in iTunes on the machine which is being added to 'computers'. Quite simple really.

  • How many computers can you use one copy of Photoshop Elements 11 on please?

    I intend to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my two student children.  Could you tell me if they will both be able to install in on their respective computers?

    One copy of the software can be installed and activated on two computers but a) they must be used by the same person and b) not at the same.
    Your intended use is not in accordance with conditions set out in the End User License Agreement (EULA)

    2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the

    or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home

    You should purchase two copies of the software giving each of your children the ability to use the software on two computers.

  • How many computers can we install one purchase of AW on?

    Hi All!
    If we purchase one copy of Appleworks for home use can we install it on all of our computers at home, or do we have to spend $79 for each computer?
    Two computers are running 10.4.x and two computers are running 10.3.9.
    Thank you very much!
    Diane Dennis

    Hi Diane,
    The AppleWorks User License is displayed during the installation process, and must be agreed to in order to continue with the installation. Once the application is installed, though, the licence is difficult to locate on your computer.
    A search in the Apple Store will bring you here, where you can find the full agreement, including this excerpt from paragraph 2:
    2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
    Site licences, permitting installation on multiple computers at a single site, were available for earlier versions of AppleWorks and ClarisWorks, and may be available for AW 6. You'd need to talk with an Apple representative or reseller to determine if they're still available, and if you'd be eligible for one.
    Regards,
    Barry
