HT1495 Using multiple iPads on one computer and account

How to set up multiple iPads one one computer and one account?

Not a problem since each device is distinguished by a unique name and has its own sync settings for apps, music, photos, etc.

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?

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.

Multiple logins on one computer - Different accounts, same picture...?

Greetings,
Since the iPhone 3.0 recently released push notifications, I decided to open an account for my wife that she could use on her iPhone. From what I understand, iChat now allows multiple logins on each computer.
I set everything up accordingly, noted that I am the admin on this computer, my picture pops into my ichat name. If I then enable her account on the same computer, her login also pops up next to my window. This is working according to plan.
However, if I try to change the picture on her ichat window it also changes on mine. What am I doing wrong here?
Cheers...

Hi,
iChat can not display different Buddy Pics for different Buddy Lists.
This may change with Snow Leopard.
Click the iChat Menu and use the Feedback option and post your wish there.
iChat can use one of 4 Buddy pics.
You can set a Pic in the iChat Buddy List by clicking on the current one and using the edit features.
If there is not one in the Address Book for yourself And this tends to be the one selected in System Preferences > Accounts > Your account although you can set them to be different (Three choices so far) it will default to one for the account type (A Running yellow man for AIM, A Blue Globe for @mac.com names and the Cloud for MobileMe names).
Apple have tended to suppose that if two or more people are going to be using a Mac that there are then Mac User Accounts set up on the computer and therefore there is no issue with Buddy Pics.
The iChat Buddy List is held on the AIM server (AIM names, @Mac.com [email protected] ones).
Part of the process is that the local Buddy list compares this to the Address Book and Add the Real names you have entered.
So only this name in the Address Book on that computer will show Real names if entered.
You can Export the Address Book on one computer and Import on the other to get them the same. (Or Sync via MobileMe if you have an Account)
You are getting in to the realms of your wife's Buddies being in your Address Book.
Did I mention another Mac User Account ?

HT1495 Multiple logons for one computer and multiple devices trying to use one itunes account.

I have one computer with a logon for Kids and one for Adults. There is a touch and nano that was added to a single itunes account tied to my email on the adult logon and the shuffle that is on the kids account. I can't seem to get the multiple devices access to all the songs with out erase and re-sync error message when not using the right device on the assigned logon to the computer - why and can we change this?

It sounds like each Windows user has it's own iTunesLibrary.itl file. If that is the case, then you are correct, the correct device must be connected when logged in with the correct login.
If all Windows logins share an iTunesLibrary.itl file... then it does not matter which login is used or which device is connected.

Is there a way to use multiple ipods on one computer without them overwriting each other?

i have in total 3 ipods.
One is an the square ipod. (the one with the moving screen on the right)
the second is an ipod shuffle (the touch screen one)
and i just got an ipod touch. (the colorful one)
i still use all my ipods but on my first two i use the same itunes for it. so for example, i use one ipod to download all of my music library.
then i connect my second ipod only to download selected songs.
but now that i have an ipod touch, one of the ipods is going to be overwritten.
So is there a way for that not to happen?
having a flash drive for a seperate itunes for one ipod is to much of a hassle.
but if anyone has the answers, i would greatly appriaciate it.
thanks! : D

Why do you think that one will be over written?
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one computer. Each is different and will only sync what you select.

Using multiple Iphones on one computer

My family has multiple Iphones and I was wondering if there is a way to have three seperate accounts on one computer? I don't want my apps or music to be synced on my son's or wife's phone. How do I do this? Help!

Create separate computer logins for each person. That way, everyone has their own itunes library/account, contacts, calendars, etc. Doing it that way also means there is no chance data will be intermingled. If you want, you can also share apps/music between accounts(permitted by the EUSLA with family members).

Using 2 ipads with one computer

I am using an ipad 3, and have it synched with an iMac running Mountain Lion. I need to set up a 2nd ipad with different content. Will I be able to synch more than one iPad via iTunes? If so , are there any considerations involved, such as the version of iPad?
Thanks

I sync two iPads and an iPod Touch to the same iTunes library on my MacBook and have different and unique content on each device. You need to set up your sync preferences for each device the way that you want them to be. Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes - iTunes 11...
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes will remember the sync settings for each device, but you will want to give each iPad a different name. You can do that right on the iPad in Settings>General>About>Name.

I cloud and two iphones with one computer and account...

I updated my and my boyfriends phones to the5.0 version, we use the same computer, and started icloud. now his phone numbers and my numbers are on both phones! and his phone when he messages me is now saying my name? Help!

Yes, but you'll have the same data on both.

Use of multiple ipods on one computer and library

Is it possible to sync two Ipods on the same computer with the same or different Itunes libraries? If so, please refer me to the proper help info.

I am trying to manage 3 different ipods from a single library, but as my daughter wants to use the album cover feature, the suggestion of separate playlists doesn't work.
When I attached her ipod, the ticked items from our library are those on my ipod - is it possible for itunes to recognise which items she has on her ipod from the main library without using playlists.
I can't see from this article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495" how to share a library and just select different tunes (other than doing it entirely manually which means everyone time we connect an ipod we have to remember which songs belong to which ipod).
Ideally we want a central repository, but with different selections for each ipod from the same repository - is this possible?
Thanks

Can I use multiple IDs for one iTunes and multiple devices

We have one family computer with iTunes, my older brother has an iPhone and I have an iPhone. A family ID was previously used to purchase songs for the family to share. My older brother has created an apple ID for his iPhone, and l have a yet unused apple ID. my brother downloaded songs etc onto the family iTunes that I would like to share, there are songs on the family apple ID that we would both like. Can you download purchases from multiple apple IDs into one iTunes account, then sync that data onto multiple phones that each have a separate ID? Is iTunes linked to one ID? Can purchases from multiple IDs be grouped together in our family account. Also do I Actually need a separate Apple for my iPhone to prevent private messages and contacts being shared?
Thanks for any advice

I forgot to add my iPhone is brand new and unused, and also that the iTunes account has non purchased songs on there. Can these be shared. As it is a new computer the purchases from the family ID have not been downloaded yet

Set up iPad on one computer and now want to sync to another computer

We gave my Dad an iPad for Christmas (16 GB, WiFi), mainly as a photo album to amuse my ailing mother.
I live in Ontario and he lives in BC. I bought the iPad and set it up using my iMac. Put about 600 family photos on it and sent it off to him in BC. I knew that this might cause a challenge when he attached it to his iMac, but I figured let's try it anyway.
He has connected it to his iMac and wants to add photos from iPhoto. Is there any way to preserve the photos that I put on, or are they going to get wiped as soon as he adds another album? I can always transfer the files to him via CD or FTP, and he can put them into his iPhoto and thus to the iPad from there. But is there an easier way?
Hope this makes sense. In short, if he wants to sync more photos from his iMac, do we lose all the photos that I put on there from my computer?
Thanks!

Not entirely sure about iPhoto as I don't have a mac, but when syncing from folder(s) only the contents of the most recent sync will be on the iPad - but I assume that iPhoto will be the same and will therefore remove the previous sync before putting the ones on. He also won't be able to copy them off before syncing as you can only do that with photos loaded via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websties.
This article has some general info on syncing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Using Multiple iPods on 1 Computer and Changing Track Info on Files

Hi - I recently had to get a new computer, so I have a Windows 7 machine. I use 2 iPods and and iPhone. I have set up separate user accounts in Windows 7 to separate music files, video files, and info for iPhone. I'm having some problems, first, with multiple accounts. When using an account in an other than administrator account, the administrator account keeps getting errors that iTunes can't be opened. So while in another account, I get error notices in the administrator account. Second, a number of CDs that I copy into iTunes come over as "Compilations." I can't make changes to the categories so the CDs appear with the artists, even though I've actually gone into the files through Windows Explorer to change them from read only. Any suggestions?

Just plug them in.

Using multiple Ipods on one computer

I just purchased an Ipod Nano to use in addition to my older Ipod on my home Windows computer. How can I use Itunes to support both Ipods without having to repurchase all my music?

You just plug in the Nano. iTunes will recognize that it's a separate device, with it's own preferences. Music you've purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to all your iPods.
I'm currently syncing three iPods to the same library. I use the Sync Selected Playlists option (look on the Music tab) to determine what music gets put on which iPod.
Best of luck.

HT1495 Syncing multiple devices to one computer

I have 4 iPhones synced to my computer. I have them each set up with their own folders to sync music from. Random songs are now showing up on my iPhone, even though they're not in the folder that I have my phone synced to.
How do I remove them from my phone?

You can remove songs from your iPhone by swiping on the name of the song and selecting "Delete".
