2 ipads 1 computer different accounts

Hi I have an ipad and just got my wife one
We now only have 1 computer How can we use both ipads on the same computer without each of us having the same music and pics sent to both our ipads

I made two different playlists for our iPads/iPhones. You can also select the iPad in itunes, select the Photos Tab and then select which photos you want to sync to that particular iPad. I have a Mac, so not sure if that part is a little different on WIndows or not, but I would assume it is possible.

Can we share apps on two ipads using two different accounts on the same computer?

I just got and iPad 2 and am giving my wife my old iPad. She has a separate itune account for her ipod. Can we share apps on the two iPads with two different accounts running on the same computer?

Dear Dah,
I now have two iPads, which I also (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's, but I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
Thanks!

Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
Here is why::
I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
-- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
-- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
    Personal
    Institution
    Layered. combines personal & institution.
It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

Sharing music on same computer, different accounts

I am the administrator of my computer, and would like to share my music files with my kids (and vise versa), who log in under different account names on same computer. How do I create a "common" set of music files that all of us can access under different accounts?

I have never done this, but what I would recommend is...
Get your kids to Duplicate their iTunes folder in their own account, and append their name to the duplicate, before moving (not copying, or you may soon run out of space) this to the Shared folder.
Then follow the advice above, except for the bit about not trashing the kids folders, as they will still have their main iTunes folders in their own accounts. After you've found that everything works ok, you can then ask your kids to clear out their own iTunes libraries to free up space.
Two things before starting:
- check there is enough space on your hard drive
- BACK UP all the iTunes folders to an external hard drive, or to DVDs

While in Hotmail, Firefox crashed & now I can't open or delete messages, however, on the same computer-different account- my Hotmail works fine.

While a request to print a sent email was being executed (successfully), my attention was diverted away from the computer screen. When I returned, the Firefox "crash" notice was on the screen, but everything appeared fine so I didn't file a report. I exited Hotmail and later signed in and found out I can not open or delete any messages. I exited Hotmail, switched computer user accounts and opened my Hotmail under the computer's administrative account. Under the adm. account my Hotmail works without a problem. Switched back to my computer user account, signed in to Hotmail and the original problem still exists. What can I do to get Hotmail to work in my computer user account?

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 ?

Two iPhones to the same computer different accounts?

We got a new Windows 7 computer and need to know how to sync both our iPhones to this computer. I used to sync my iPhone to our old computer and my wife synced to her laptop. I have been trying everything I have read on how to do this on the net for the last few days and cannot get it to work. We each have our own iTunes accounts but will be sharing the same music. We don't want to share our address books and photos so I have read you need to create 2 user accounts. I have tried this and the main account has access to the music library but the alternate user doesn't show any music in the my music folder. Do I have to copy all the music into 2 different places in order to get the music on both users? I'm at my wits end and just can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

This is an Outlook problem, and a bit tricky to fix via long distance through a forum. So if you have a local Windows expert ask them to look at it. If you want to try yourself I'll see if I can help.
Does your Outlook sync to an Exchange server, or do you just use it as an email client for POP3 or IMAP?
Has your wife ever used Outlook with here own email account? It sounds like the answer is no, so how does she now access her email?
What you need to do is log on as your wife, then create a new Outlook account using Outlook under her Windows ID. In Outlook go to Menu/Options/Email Accounts and choose to set up a new account.

Copying songs on same computer - different accounts

My son and daughter each received an iPod for Christmas. They are managing their own iTunes library under their own login on the same iMac that I use. There are a couple songs in my library that they would like to sync to their iPods. I know I can share my library and they can play these songs in iTunes, but they want them on their iPods. Can I copy these songs into their libraries? These are protected songs I purchased from iTunes. I am not sure whether the license for a song is per computer or per user. I know I cannot copy a song to another computer without authorizing that computer with my Apple ID. What about copying a song on the same computer into another user account? Will that affect my licensing at all? Is there a better way to do this for just a few songs? What if they purchase a song they wish to share?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Share music on computer (different accounts) / restrict playback

Hi,
I am running on windows xp and was wondering if anyone know.
1. How to restrict playback of restricted songs?
2. How to share music library over multiple accounts on the same computer. ( I know you can import - but I would like to know if there is an easy way to export a folder
over multiple accounts on same computer.
Thanks

I'm no authority on the parental controls but ...
... looking at the article I provided a link for in my previous post, it seems that they (the parental controls) are not intended to stop a user from playing restricted content but rather prevent them from seeing such content in the iTunes Store. If they can't see the content, they can't buy it and can't listen to it ... unless someone else buys it and puts it in a Shared Music folder they have access to.
The trick would seem to be to make sure any restricted content you're purchasing does not end up in a Shared folder but rather in a private folder on your system. When you have an XP User Account with a private folder, buy your restricted content on that account and make sure the iTunes Music folder for that account is part of the private folder so your purchases will be downloaded directly into it.

Get free iWork on iPad Air with different account?

A friend visited the US couple of weeks ago, and brought me an iPad Air. While in there, she used it with her Apple ID, and got the free iWork suite. When she handed it to me, I erased it and associated it to my ID.
If I go to the App Store I see I have to pay for iWork. This seems logical, because otherwise everybody could get it for free using a friend's iDevice, but I was wondering: is there any way of un-doing her registration, or un-linking her apple ID from the free apps?
Thank you very much

Also visit the following page where you can see if your device is registered and if not, will give you the option to do so.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

Hi, I have an iTunes account on my laptop set up to work with my old iPod. I now have an iPad and new iPod but set up under a different account- can I put all the songs from my iTunes onto the new devices. Thanks.

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

Is it possible to load an IPAD from two different ITune accounts? When I try it says it'll delete all the other account first.

This is correct.
Ipad wilol sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
