  • Can i set up my ipad in the same itouch account?

    can i set my new ipad in the same account/place where i currently have my itouch set up? will this affect what i currently have in my itouch or will it see the difference when i connect my ipad and itouch? thank you

    You can use the same account and iTunes library with both - iTunes will recognise that it's a different device and you can then chose what to sync or not to sync. I use my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch on the same computer without any problem.

    You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
    I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • How can I set up my iPad to work wirelessly in New Zealand?

    We are going to stay at our parent's place in New Zealand, and they have only a very slow dial-up connection to the internet. 
    We want to take our Apple iPad 4, MacBook 4.1.1 and iPhone 4 and use them wirelessly while we are there.
    Last time we used the macBook to connect, but it was so maddeningly slow and we had to disconnect their phone, and  feel there must be a better way. 
    Does anyone know how we can log on via the ipad without having to go up to the local library?

    You need the first Internet connection in order to share another connection with the other devices. If you use the Mac and Internet Sharing, then the connection is only going to be as fast as that connection and maybe a little slower since you are all sharing that connection.
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as the saying goes, you cannot speed up the connection by any magical means.
    You should be able to use the personal hotspot feature on the phone if the carriers there support it.

    You might want to look into a MIFI hotspot as well but once again, you would need some sort of plan for it in New Zealand.

  • How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    Kodak has a firmware upgrade to allow a version of air printing via a third party service, google docs I think. You can e-mail documents to your printer, or you can set up a hardwired printer as a local print server and send them to that.
    Or you can look into an app. I have that same model of printer and use Print n Share and it works fine...slow but fine. I didn't go for the firmware cloud printing simply because I didn't want yet another online account.

  • What games can I play on my iPad without going on line?

    What games can I play on my iPad without going on line?

    You mean no intenret at all? 
    Or after you've downloaded them, you want to go offline and play them?
    If the first one, then none, there are no pre-installed games on the iPad you can use.
    If the second, there are tons of games there that can be downloaded and then played without an intenret connection atferwards.
    Just search the App Store. Most allow offline playing in some fashion.

  • Nightmare trying to set up several ipads on one apple id/card

    Hi
    I have 5 x ipads to set up I want to use 1 x Apple ID/email and credit card is this possible?? I have tried but only managed to get 2 not 1gb of data on one machine!! It would seem rather long winded to have to set up seperate email/apple accounts.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi
    I cant see a way of setting up multiple ipads without having to create multiple apple ID's and thus muliple mail accounts.
    I set up one ipad with no problem whatsoever, but when I tried to set up the 2nd unit using the same Apple ID and credit card my carrier simply duplicated the data on the initial ipad. It appears that I need a seperate apple account to set up each ipad. Sorry I does seem a bit strange, eventually each ipad will be used by individuals and thier own apple id's but i dont want them to use the companies Credit, see the problem or am I missing something, any help would be appreaciated:)

  • Can I Re-Associate my iPad with my Apple ID?

    Long story short I had a problem with my Apple ID when re-downloading my music so I contacted iTunes support and they removed my iPad from my Associated devices in my Apple ID, can I Re-Associate my iPad with my Apple ID? I can still download all my stuff without a problem so I'm not sure.

    If you have iTunes Match, use automatic downloads on it, or re-download past purchases then that might associate a device with your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - though I'm not sure what it achieves apart from stopping another account being used on it for 90 days

  • HT2731 I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me put it on this Ipad.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me do so. What do I ned to do so i can have Apple ID on Ipad and other items?

    Hi,
    Yes you can contact Apple UK at daytime, for free, in the Chat.
    Just go to the iPad page, then press buy now in the upper right corner, and then in the upper right corner you will see the phone number, and next to it,(only at daytime) you will see a button, writing something like contact else, I don't really know what is the exact label, but it works.
    Good luck

  • Can i use someone else iPad with my apple id

    Can i use someone elses ipad with my apple id and download items?

    That should not be a problem if you wish to use other's apple id for your IOS device.
    However, if in the future you need to update the apps, which is needed to be done from time to time, you need to have the password of that person's apple id as well.
    It is better to have your own apple id for convenience.

  • How can I set up my ipad to print on my printer

    Can I set up my wireless printer to print things off of my Ipad 7 ?

    Hi  skp0348,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I gather that you would like to learn how to connect your iPad to your HP printer. 
    The first step is to ensure that your printer is connected to your wireless network. If the printer is not connected to your wireless network and supports wireless connectivity, please visit HP’s Wireless Printing Center – Connecting Your Wireless Printer.  It lists the different the methods for connecting your printer to your wireless network.  Please note that not all HP printers support all of the methods, but your printer will support at least one of the methods, if it supports wireless connectivity.
    Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, if your printer and your router support Bonjour communication, you should now be able to print using Apple’s AirPrint feature (some HP printers are older than Apple’s AirPrint and do not support AirPrint). If you are unsure if your printer supports AirPrint please refer to the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document.  I’ve included 2 different documents on using Apple’s AirPrint with HP printers.  The first one is Printing from Your Apple Device with Non-Web-Enabled Printers (No Apple AirPrint or HP ePrint Suppor... and the second one is How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network. 
    If you want more options than what is available with AirPrint (see Apple’s AirPrint Basics document) you can download and install HP’s ePrint Mobile app.   I’ve included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQs document for reference.
    If you want to scan from your printer to your iPad please download HP’s All-in-One Printer Remote app.  The app will allow customers, with a supported printer, to scan documents to their iPad.  I’ve included the HP All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile App FAQs document for reference. If you are unsure if your printer supports HP’s AiO app, please refer to the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document.
    If you printer supports HP’s ePrint feature and you want to set it up, you would start by Getting the Printer’s Claim Code.  Once you have the printer’s claim code you would add it to your HP ePrintCenter or HP Connected account (HP Connected has only been rolled out to the USA, the UK, France, and Germany), and then you have the option to Customize the ePrint Email Address.  I’ve also included the Getting Started with ePrint document which will explain how to print with ePrint and also has an FAQ section.

  • How can I set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files?

    I want to set up multiple ipads with preloaded apps and files before handing them out to employees.  We intendend the employee to be able to install their own content on the device using their own itunes account.  When I attempted to connected to a pc using a personal account my the content obtained by the company account was prompted to be removed.  Was this done incorrectly?  Is there a way I can set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files so that they don't get removed when the user connects them to another computer with another itunes account?
    Right now we are looking to have the employee use their own itunes account and reimburse the expense for the needed apps, but this could be an issue if they leave the company and the device is reassigned.

    Yes this is possible. I've been using Apple Configurator to do this (you could also use iTunes to restore backups). The trick is, you need to tell the end user not to sync apps within his/her iTunes on his/her computer. You will need to instruct the end user to download apps OTA using the App Store on the iPad rather than with iTunes on his/her computer. If the user tries to sync apps on his/her computer, it will wipe out apps that you installed. However if the user downloads apps OTA, your apps and the user downloaded apps will both stay on the iPad.
    When you hand the iPad to the user, be sure to log out of your company Apple ID on the iPad at Settings -> Store and have them sign in with their personal Apple ID. That way it is all set for them to download apps under their own Apple ID.
