Create second set of contacts on iPad?

We are syncing our iPad at work through Microsoft Exchange Server. We would like to have a second set of our personal home contacts that would not be sync'd at our work. Is it possible to have two sets of contacts on the iPad3. One that is sync'd at work and one that is sync'd at home.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

Hi Paul,
You can simply use iCloud for this (or gmail as Pogo suggests).
Exchange for work contacts which you already have set up.
Then iCloud for you 'home' contacts:
These lists sync independantly and can be displayed together (all contacts) or independantly (all iCloud / all Exchange). Once setup tap the red 'groups' ribbon to switch.
Just go to iCloud in settings - http://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/setup/

Need to create second set of recovery media

First set of recovery media corrupts restore and unable to create second set which is needed. System stats below:
Product name: HP 15 Notebook PC
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Recovery Software:
Version 12.0.3.0
Error:
"This system is created from Recovery Media. You are only allowed to create one set of recovery media."
Is there anything I can do to get a second set cteate short of purchasing from HP? Al other options in the forums have either failed or doesnt apply.

Sorry, but the only way to get a second copy of the HP Recovery Media is to purchase it from HP or possibly a third party vendor.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

How do I create a second set of red yellow green buttons for right handers

I've moved over from using a PC for years and still use one at work - so I've grown used to using my mouse for everything.
So, being right handed - I'm wondering how I can move or better yet create a second set of red yellow green buttons at the top right of each screen. It's a pain having to scroll from one corner to the other all the time.

Welcome to the forums Chiliad. It's rare that a question like yours is answered "you can't do that" but I've never heard of someone wanting to do this. OS X is robustly customizable right out of the box with its many different ways of accomplishing identical tasks, but I suspect the locations of these buttons is somewhat of an Apple trademark and rooted deep in OS X code. I would avoid trying to hack the system to change their location lest such a change cause a future OS X update to break.
There are many third party tools available to customize OS X to your liking, but I can recommend without reservation just a few. Products like Tinker Tool and the utilities written by Unsanity seem to be generally useful and trouble-free.
You can minimize a window by double-clicking anywhere in the title bar, but I find Exposé to be much more useful when managing multiple open windows. I've grown to use Apple-w to close and Apple-q to quit, but that's just me.
Seems to me the engineers at Apple have put an enormous amount of effort into designing an effortless user interface, which in my opinion rewards the user with an experience that doesn't get "in your face" as much as Windows does. It's hard for me to imagine improving upon it much, but there are plenty of others who try!

How do you create new groups within Contacts on the iPad?

Can you create new groups within Contacts directly from the iPad, iPhone,or do you have to do it on the computer first?

The easiest way is to get the app called group e mail. There are a couple of others as well. There is a way to do it on your computer, and sync it, but I find that personally frustrating. :). Save yourself the aggrevation, and get the app, that works pretty well.

I am setting up my new iPad mini. I managed most of it, but the contacts, and some of the apps didn't transfer. How do I accomplish this?

I am setting up my new iPad mini from my iMac. I have backed up my old ipad so all info has been saved and sinced. I did not get my contacts and apps when the download, or sinc was complete. How do I add them? BTW, the instructions given while installing during the get started portion instructed me to use the start as new option. Thanks

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

How to sync iPhone contacts to iPad contacts, having skipped iphone set up

After buying iphone5c I skipped part of set up. Now I want to make iphone sync to contacts on iPad.
I have backed up iPad to iCloud, and the iPhone too, but can't seem to make them sync, nor find a way back to the initial setup menu to choose the option to connect to iCloud. I think all other relevant options are turned on.

You can sync contacts using iTunes so that each device you use (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) has the same information.
If your contacts are hosted online (for example, using iCloud or Yahoo!), just set up your contact accounts on each device and computer you use. Then, your contacts are kept up to date everywhere.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac. If iTunes doesn’t open, open iTunes.
Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, and then select the “Sync contacts” checkbox.
Select whether to sync all contacts or only the groups you select.
Select any other options you want, and then click Apply. Your contacts are updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

Used Migration Assistant to import PC files. It created second user account that won't sync with iPad. How do I merge accounts?

It's next to impossible to fully merge two accounts on a Mac easily.
This being said, though, please take a look at "The Great Pondini's" site where this specific issue is addressed. There should be information here you can use to get things sorted out.

ICloud is not syncing a contact created on my MBA to my iPad/iPhone

I created a five new contacts today on my MBA, within the iCloud account under an existing address group (Coworkers). One of the five has synced correctly to both my iPhone and my iPad. The other four did not sync correctly to either device; they can be found under the All Contacts group, but not within the specific group I assigned them to (Coworkers). I have disabled iCloud syncing of contacts on both devices then reenabled after restarting both devices and my MBA, which did not change anything. I also tried moving the contacts out of the Coworkers group into another group, after which they appeared on my devices; then, when I moved them back to the Coworkers group, they still did not show up. I'm not sure what's going on that's preventing just those four contacts from syncing properly.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

Can I create folders in Mail in the iPad?

If you're fortunate enough to have an ISP that also has mail via Microsoft Exchange, you can kill the original account and re-create it as an Microsoft Exchange account. That will bring whatever folders you have set up in the mail's webmail app across to your iPad.
The only downside is that you can only have one Exchange account, so if you already have one set up, you're stuck. But Frontier has my Internet business, so I was able to set up my second account via Exchange. It's not perfect, but it works.
It's a way to get by until they figure out that POP limitation... :-)

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to a minute. If it's stuck, you might want to give Apple support a call to see if they are experiencing unreported server issues. Since your device is new, you are within the 90-day free call support period. You can set up the call here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. You will need your serial number, which is on the box and (I believe) the back of your iPad.

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

If i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime. Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.
