Can I pair two iPads using Bluetooth?

I have an ipad2 and an iPad and would like to connect the two via Bluetooth for the purpose of playing games.  No matter what I do the two units will not find each other, even though each says it is discoverable and searching and within a meter of each other.
Am I missing something?

no you can't
some games support multiplayer over bluetooth but they handle it without you having to pair devices

    It depends on the game. The app has to be specifically written to allow play between two devices via Bluetooth.

  • Can I have two ipads use the same itunes account on 2 computers?

    I just purchased a new iPad for my wife.  I currently have an iPad 2 with a ton of apps.  I;d like to be able to have her use the apps that I've already purchased, but still allow her the ability to sync the new iPad to her computer.  Can i do this?

    Problem. You can't share apps or purchased content between two different iTunes accounts. The iPad(s) will be completely resynched (removing apps not associated with the current account) each time you synch, depending on how you synch. IMHO, not worth the effort.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

    Can i connect to another ipad using bluetooth?

    Depending on what you want to do, the answer may be yes, or no.
    If you explain what it is you want to accomplish we may be able to provide a more accurate answer.
    Just now that the iPad does not support file transfer over bluetooth directly. Though there are some Apps in the App store that make this possible over different mediums.

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
    This is the link
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
    I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
    Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
    Sole traders need an option too.

  • Can you have two iPads on one iTunes account?

    Can i add two iPads to one iTunes account and then move one to another iTunes account at a later date?

    I sync three different iDevices with one iTunes account/iTunes library on my Mac. You can select the exact content that you want to sync to each device by customizing the sync settings for each device.
    If you want to sync the iPad with another iTunes account or iTunes library at a later date - you will lose all of the content on the iPad from the old iTunes account. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time and if you consider the iTunes account to be what is in your iTunes library - meaning content that you bought with one particular Apple ID - then you can only sync one account at a time as stated.
    Perhaps if you defined or explained exactly what you mean by iTunes account, this could be clarified a little more.

    What bluetooth speakers are available?

    Yes. Here's a link. Google shows a bunch. Beware though some are just bluetooth linking the left or right speaker and requires you to plug into the not-bluetooth-linked-speaker.
