Apple ID on shared iPad

Took the plunge and bought an iPad air2, my first foray into iPad ownership.
So far great, but I'm confused on what to do about Apple ID. Its a shared iPad with the Mrs, we dont really want each other's pics and messages popping up on it so we've not entered either of our id's. That said I would like to have some of my apps on it.
Should I create a new I'd for the iPad?
Thanks for any help in advance!

If you have home sharing turned on in the settings of your apple tv and your iPad you can AirPlay from your iPad to the apple tv. When you play a video there is a tv icon on the right side of the play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Click that and choose your apple tv. Your apple tv and iPad must be on the same network.

HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Apple TV Home Sharing only detects Macbook Pro but not iPads

Hello
My Apple TV (2nd gen) will only detect my Macbook Pro on Home Sharing. I have two iPads (1st gen and iPad Mini) both updated to the latest iOS but they just wont show up on apple TV home sharing.
Any thoughts?
The software on all devices is up to date, and all devices are connected to the same network.

Your first generation iPad is only capable of basic AirPlay, instruction for basic AirPlay are:
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Your problems on the iPad mini, indicate a network problem at your end, perhaps the distances are too great or you have interference on your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

HT204053 How can i use 2 apple ids on an ipad that i share with my wife?

My wife uses her apple id on her iphone4, use my apple id in my iphone5. I'd like to see both and have the seemless cloud sync with both apple ids on our shared ipad and pc without merging the data into a single id.
Any help would be appreciated.

Decide which will the primary (able to use iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream) Apple ID for your iPad then add a secondary account (Without iCloud backup, Documents and data, and photo stream).

How can I get my itunes songs to show up on my apple tv2 from my ipad?

I just bought apple tv and an ipad. I set up home sharing. When I am using apple tv, I can see my itunes songs/playlists on my tv as long as my HP laptop is on. But if I have my laptop off, and my ipad2 on, i cannot see my songs on my tv. I have to use my ipad 2 in order to navigate through the songs. Any ideas?
Also as a side question, It seems that the picture quality on my ipad 2 is not very good. Meaning, I took a picure with a professional camera and saved it to my ipad. Then I used it for my background on my ipad but it is very grainy. Is this normal?
Thanks

Regarding your first question. That is the correct behaviour. Apple TV can only see and play media that is being shared by a compurter running iTunes. It will not see the media on your iPad. You can however use Airplay to play the media on your iPad on your Apple TV. If you download and install the Apple Remote app on to your iPad you can use that to remote control your iTunes library playback on your computer or Apple TV.
Regarding your second question. Try creating a version of the image that is the same native resolution as the iPad's screen which is 1024 x 768 pixels. Also, save it as a JPEG or PNG file for best results.

I need to set up an apple ID for my IPAD but my daughter was already using my email address for her itunes

I need to set up an apple id for my IPad but my daughter is using my email address to purchase music for her IPOD and IPhone. How can she delete her apple ID so that I can use my own email account?

Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

My self and my wife each have a phone on the same vodafone account, i have an iphone 5 with an apple id also ana ipad on the same apple id. My wifes phone is a samsung, but if i buy here an iphone can i attached it to the same apple id.

Yes and No. yes for sharing music and apps. No for icloud/facetime/imessage - she should get her own id for that.

How do I link mine and my wifes iphones, and our shared ipad together?

I have an iphone for work, and my wife and I have a shared ipad at home. Both currently run imessage and icloud under my apple id. I had to turn my iphone imessaging off though to prevent seeing her conversations with family from out ipad while I was at work. I previously had her email loaded as a secondary email to mine and I think this is how it worked. Now, she has her own iphone. We had to create her own apple id for this, and I no longer seem to be able to link her email to my ipads icloud and imessaging, I guess as it is used with her phone. Now I'm stuck with what I need to do for the three devices to communicate, but for her to not get my work messages and me to not get her family messages. Does the ipad need it's own id? Do I need to tick or untick certain things in my "Reached by email at" or "Start new conversations from" menus?

I just know how to keep separeted: create different accounts, or turn "contacts" off, on iCloud settings in one of the iPhones.

Can i add a second Apple ID to my iPad (to be able to charge purchases to a different account)?

My wife has an iPad. I have a MacBook Air. We both have our own individual Apple ID. Can I add my Apple ID to her iPad (to be able to charge purchases to my account)?

It can only have one Apple ID signed onto it at a time in the iTunes & App Stores.
Your best bet is to make the purchases via the MacBook Air, then sync the iPad via iTunes. My husband and I share an iTunes library (but both have our own Apple IDs), and we share music purchased by both of us using the sync process.
Downloading via automatic downloads or by downloading past purchases can create problems because the device becomes associated with the Apple ID that is used to do any of those actions, and it cannot be associated with a different Apple ID for 90 days. So, that can get kind of crazy:
Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
But syncing via a shared library is just syncing, and does not create the "associated device" issue.

TS1501 How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

Where are these movies? what format do they have?
You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

Authentication for Shared iPad

I have a retail cusotmer that is interested in using shared iPads for thier store employees and securing the environment with ISE. Is there a way to authenticate both the device (certificate) and the user (AD username / pw)?
My understanding is that this is the concept behind EAP-Chaining available in AnyConnect 3.1. Will this feature be implemented in AnyConnect 2.x for mobile devices?
Any alternative suggestions on solving the business use-case would be appreciated too!

Cisco ISE integrated with wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) can provide profiling mechanisms of mobile devices such as Apple iDevices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod), Android-based smartphones, and others. For 802.1X users, Cisco ISE can provide the same level of services such as profiling and posture scanning. Guest services on Cisco ISE can also be integrated with the Cisco WLC by redirecting web authentication requests to Cisco ISE for authentication.

Shared iPads on a cart -- disable all device security?

We have a bunch of "iPad 2" that will be shared out on a cart to many different students, and wiped regularly using the Apple Configurator.
How do I disable the passcode lock so that none is in effect, and no one can enable it?
I see a policy for passcodes in the Configurator, but nothing that clearly states "disable and prevent passcodes".

Old thread, but I would just like to reply that THIS DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED.
When a student sets a passcode on a Supervised ipad, the passcode is NOT automatically removed when the device is reconnected to Configurator. Instead it says something like "could not apply policy" and the passcode is not removed.
The only solution I have found is to:
- Unsupervise the device - wipes the device, reinstalls iOS -- takes about 30 minutes
- Re-supervise the device - reinstalls Apps and policies -- takes about 30-45 minutes depending on gigabytes used
So actually a student taking 10 seconds to install a passcode that can't be disabled, wastes an hour of time or more, for the school staff person whose job it is to keep the shared iPads working.

How o you gift a particular song in the Apple store FROM and iPad. I do not see the down arrow that I see when using my IMac .

Search for shared library is impossible, as far as I know. Searches supported - are local and internet.
