How to sync multiple iPads on stage?

I have a band. I'm interested in moving from sheet music folders to iPads. There are several sheet music / page turning apps. I want to be able to sync the iPads together from one "master" to several "slaves" - turning pages, selecting songs, etc.
Some apps claim to have this capability, but provide little explanation.
I'd very much like to determine:
a. If this is possible?
b. If so, what equipment is necessary beyond the iPads? Would I need to create a WiFi network on stage? Would this be reliable? Would all iPads need to be the same model?
If anyone else is doing this already - band, church, pro or school ensemble - any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
SK

If I go with method #3 in the article How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer can I still plug in 10 (or more) iPads into a 10 port USB hub and it will go through and sync each iPad with a different name with it's respective itunes account automatically or will I have to manually do this?

  • Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

    Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

    Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do  I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

  • HT202213 how to sync an ipad with two libraries

    How do I share my itunes library between 2 devices?  Dragging the music over to the device isn't doing the trick...

    Not quite sure this is what you are after, if not you'll need to explain further.
    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

    Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
    Thank you

    The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
    Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
    Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.

  • How do sync my iPad with another computer?

    How do I sync my iPad with my new computer?  I have imported all my songs, books, apps, etc. but did not do it by dragging over the old iTunes folder because the file structure is different and I did not want to mess up the new file structure with the old one.  Now how do I get my new computer to become the "one" that my iPad syncs with?

    Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?

  • What is the easiest way to sync multiple ipads to one computer

    Is it possible to (easily) sync multiple (10) Ipads to one computer?  My hope is to have all ten sales reps in the field, with the same info on their ipads.

    I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

  • How to sync 2 ipads

    hi, i just bought new ipad and i want to sync it with my existing ipad apps in my imac...
    my first question is how to sync it without wiping all of the existing apps?
    second is can i do it?

    Yes, you can do this. When you connect your iPad it creates a backup. So when you now connect your new iPad, and once it is set up, make sure you click on the new device name then click on Restore on the Summary page and choose your "old" iPad backup. This will transfer all settings - except keychain - to your new iPad.

  • HT1495 syncing multiple ipads with one master ipad

    Does anyone have any advice on getting multiple ipads (aprox 10) to sync with one master ipad?

    Without connecting the iPad to your computer ...... Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Turn off auto sync by clicking on the box at the bottom that says ..... Prevent iPods, iPhones ...etc. Click OK. Quit iTunes
    Connect the master iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Transfer any purchases from the master iPad into iTunes via File>Transfer purchases from the menu at the top of iTunes or right click on the iPad name under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. Let the process complete.
    Next .... right click on the iPad name on the left side of the iTunes window under the devices heading and select - Backup. Let the backup process computer. Then sync with iTunes  and eject the iPad
    Connect the next iPad and right click on the iPad name under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. Select the backup of the first iPad and let the process complete and then sync with iTunes. Eject the iPad.
    Connect the next iPad and follow the same procedure and do the same with the rest of the devices.

  • Syncing Multiple iPads via Sync Station

    Hi Team- we are a school district implementing a 20 iPad pilot program.  We have a single charge/sync station, and need to be able to sync all the iPads to a single profile via the charging station.  Can you tell me what software to use- is there a management software for multiple iPads, or just sync all 20 to a single iTunes account?
    Thanks in advance!

    With Apple's new (and free!) Configurator, you can do some pretty sophisticated and effective file management and syncing programs.  We have tested it with some Datamation Systems hubs on 32 iPads, which breaks the 30-device barrier mentioned in the material.  We have no reason to think it will not recognize and support even more, such as a 49-port hub for syncing: http://www.ipadcarts.com/solutions/DS-IP-49-SYNC.htm.  Has anyone tried this?

  • How to Sync Multiple Iphones on the Same Computer

    Does anyone know how to Sync two different Iphones on the same computer?

    You have given almost no detail/information at all, so ti is hard to say.
    What apps? Are both iphones new? Were they synced with other computers? Same account?
    What is it that you are trying to do?
    The iphone will sync itunes content (music/apps/video) and pics with one and only one computer. If you sync to another it will first eras the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases. Authorize the account, do not sync: File>Transfer Purchases
