2 users on the same iPad

Hi there,
is it possible to have i.e. 2 users on an iPad in the same way that it's possible with a MacBook Pro?
Thanks for your feedback(s).
Peter

No, the iPad is basically a single user device, so you can only have one set of apps and content on it.

How to create different users in the same iPad 4?

I would like to share my new iPad with other person. How can I create two users.?

The iPad does not support multiple user accounts.

Can two users use the same ipad for their personal email?

I have one email account assigned to my ipad and I would like to have my girl friend use it while we are traveling. How can she set up her account?

Depends on how much you trust your girlfriend. iOS does not support multiple user accouts at this time. You are not limited to just a single email account. Your girlfriend can add her account to the mix but you must realize she can also get and read email from YOUR account too because she is using your iPad. You cannot set up a different iPad user account that only she can see. Everything is open and available for her to use.

Multiple users with the same iPad?

My daughter has lent me her iPad. It's currently linked to her Apple account. If I try registering the iPad on my Apple account, will I be violating the license or screwing up her ability to use the device independently? Can the iPad work independently with two seperate users with two separate Apple accounts?

if you are registering your own apple id over your daughter, her account wont be able to put back in for at least 90 days. iPad will notify this fact, you this whenever you try to enter new apple id in the existing user ipads.
another way that would help is to home share your itunes content and allow photo stream features on the ipad, so you will get your contents into your daugther ipad without entering your apple id.
ipad cannot work with two user. you wont be violating any license.

How can I use apps downloaded by different users on the same iPad?

I have a 'work' iPad so the apps on it have been downloaded using two different accounts. Which was fine until I did an update at the weekend and suddenly I can only use the one's I downloaded. Is there anyway of 'sharing' these apps so who logs in can use all the apps?

No, I don't think there is. As far as I know the iPad is meant to be a 'one per Apple ID' device...and isn't really meant to have multiple Apple ID's downloading apps to a singular device.
I think the simplest way around your issue is to use only one Apple ID to download everything.

How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday. My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac. I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders. However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized. They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all.
So my questions are:
1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
2. How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
Thanks!

1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream. YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
See this link: iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
On the same iPad? Do you mean on the same mac?
If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
See this support document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad? Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

Mountain Lion: Copying mailbox from one user to another user on the same mac

When I bought the mac I had only one email address. Since then I have accumulated 3 more addresses. I created another User on the same MAC to seperate the personal emails from the 3 new email addresses, that I use for business.
There are some mailboxes from the 1st account that has business information in them that I want to move to the 2nd User account (with the 3 e-mail addresses). I though that I could save them in the dropbox and then save them into the 2nd User accounts like I did with the documents and spreadsheets, but this does not work.
I really need to separate the Family Personal email information from the Busines Information and I do not want to just send lots and lots of emails to the accounts to get them there.
I am not using Cloud at the moment because it created some syncing issues. Because the 1st User Account and email account is synced with an iPad and iPhone that my wife uses with an Apple ID. The 2nd User (and 3 mail addresses) are synced with my iPhone and a separate Apple ID. We have separate ID's because she did not want my personal & business contacts seeping into the family email accounts
I know that this is long, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible, so that I can resolve this.
Thanks in Advance

I spent quite a few hours after this was posted trying to figure it out and I did.
Select Mailbox > Export Mailbox. This asks you a location to export the mailboxes to. It just uploads the exported mailboxes into Dropbox.
Then change the User that I want to import the mailboxes into. Select Import and select the location of where you placed the folder in Dropbox. This then imports the mailbox into a folder called Import. You then drag and drop the copied mailboxes from the Import folder to the folder in the structure you have. If you decide to delete the folders from the import folder list, do this. You can also delete the copied folders from Dropbox if you wish.
Took a while, but I got there and I'm happy now....

Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

Multiple profiles/users on the same device

Hi there,
I know that iOS is a single user environment.
But, I am currently working in an enterprise environment and I was wondering if it was possible to have several profiles on the same device, maybe using certificates or so?
Thanks for your help
Cheers,
Pierre.

It would seem that unlike previous iOS devices the iPad and possibly AppleTV call for the ability to enable multiple profiles/users on the same device.
I would suggest that if this capability is not on the roadmap for iOS by now then there is a least one place where alternatives to the iPad will have a major advantage.
The thought they I would have to buy multiple iPads one for myself, my wife and my child because of a software constraint is untenable from a ecological standpoint (all these devices end up as landfill) let alone the economic one.
Also as I use the iPad I see it's potential to become as important computing platform to me as my laptop eventually surpassing it. In this light I can't see how it could remain just a personal device.

Can I have two apple id's on the same iPad. Example me and my spouse want to share the iPad but have different id's

iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
separating photos, media, etc.
If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

Can I sync certain itmes from one itunes account and certain items from another itunes account on the same ipad?

I was wondering if an individual would be able to sync certain items from one itunes account and and items from a different itunes account to the same ipad?

You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device.
The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another. "The iPad isn't a computer".. ;-)
But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment. Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out.. so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier.. You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work. "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?". I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away. Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work! ;-)

HT204053 Can I use any of two Apple IDs to purchase apps for the same iPad?

Hello,
I have two Apple IDs, one for the iTunes US store and the other for the UK store. Can I purchase apps from either store for the same iPad (4th. Gen.)?

Yes, although it's best to associat your iPad with one Apple ID otherwise you will need to constantly switch.
Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
1. Tap Settings;
2. Tap iTunes & App Stores;
3. Tap View Apple ID;
4. Enter your user name and password;
5. Tap Country/Region;
6. Tap Change Country/Region;
7. Select the region where you will be located;
8. Tap Done.
