Do I need a new Apple ID for my iPad Air?

Hi!  I have a MacBook, OS 10.5.8.  I have just bought an iPad Air.  I know I can't synch the two devices, as my OS is too old, but do I need a new Apple ID in order to use itunes on the new iPad?  Thank you.

Thank you, Niel.
So ... will it not get confused if I buy an app for my iPad one day, and a song from itunes for my MacBook another?
I am intending to keep the stuff in my itunes on my MacBook and still access it.

    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • Need a new Apple id for my daughter, but have a question first.

    My daughter had an ipod touch and we used my wife's apple id to put songs on it.
    Now we just bought her a new iphone and think its time she had her own apple id.  If she creates one, can we still put her music from her ipod onto her phone?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi CMoe,
    If the music purchased for your daughter is housed in the same iTunes Library that your music is in, and the same library that she will be putting her purchases in (i.e., a single iTunes library on a single computer), then she can download any music in that library to her devices.
    My husband and I share a single iTunes Library on his Macbook Pro. He logs onto iTunes and buys stuff. I log onto iTunes and buy stuff. All of the music in our library is set up to go into Smart Playlists so we don't have all the music on everything. I have smart Playlists for Christmas, for my Nano, for my husband's iPod, for my iPad, etc.
    When we plug in our various devices for syncing, we go to the Music tab and tell it what Playlists we want loaded onto that particular device.
    Since music isn't updated, there really is no need to know or use the purchasers ID (unless a re-download was needed). The only thing that I have found that requires me to use his ID is updating apps.
    So, if you all are sharing the same Library, then she can continue to get any music you purchased for her when she syncs her device to that Library.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Do I need a new Apple ID for my second and third apple computers ....

    I just bought a second and third apple computer for my team mates for my business, do I need to have separate Apple ID in order for my emails NOT to drop on their computers ? I didn't think about this before I registered them with apple and now I need to undo this so my emails aren't on those two computers...how do we use the iCloud but also not have my email accounts on their computers.. I just want their email only on their computer

    Typically you have an Apple ID for each individual.  But if you do this, you can't share documents on the same iCloud account - it's not designed to be used this way.
    If you sign in with the same iCloud account on each machine and use iCloud for email/calendar/contacts/messages then YES everyone will see each other's email and calendar, etc.
    So you need to use separate iCloud accounts for each machine, and use something else (i.e. Dropbox or Box) to share files.

  • HT4623 Got a IPad 2 for birthday 11/18/2013 new from Best Buy, would ike to trade it in at Apple store for a IPad Air, wonder how much it will bring?

    Apple will not give a direct trade in on and older device. Best Buy might (or depending on how long you have had may refund your money, as suggested, but don't hold your breath). There are a number of sites such as Gazelle.com where you may be able to get a pretty good price for it.
    As for lizdance40's comments, everyone I know with an iPad Air is perfectly delighted with it. Google "concerns" and pretty much any mobile device and you will get plenty of hits.

  • I need a microphone stand bracket for an iPad Air. Who makes one?

    I am in desperate need of a micropheone stand bracket to fit an iPad Air. Does anyone make this? I undestand the iKlip 2 does not fit an iPad Air.
    Alternatively, is there any way to modify an existing product to fit the slimmer iPad Air?
    Thanks,
    J.R.

    Google was, of course, my first place to look. Most of the results are for brackets that fit the older generation of iPads, and only show up in the Google results because of a sentence like "does not work with iPad Air."
    There is one unit that intrigues me. It is the ChargerCity Music Mic Stand. However, the reviews on Amazon reference difficulty in using the bracket in vertical mode. That is how I use my current (but now broken) tablet 100% of the time.
    Anyone have experience with this (or any other) bracket with the iPad Air?

  • I have an Ipod4, I want an Ipad2 with 3G, do I need a new ATT contract for the IPAd, or can they both work on the same account

    I want to buy an Ipad2, but I do not want to open a new account with ATT.  Can I use the same account for the IPhone and the IPAD, will mails show on both?,

    If you get/use WiFi only you can get on the web, get mail,text,and use icloud without a new account  with ATT; but when out of Wifi coverage you would need an upgraded (ie extra $ ) data account with your phone  (ATT in your case) provider.

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
    Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
    If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
