Do I need a seperate account (ID or iCloud) for a 2nd iPad?

I have an original iPad and will be giving it to my husband when I purchase a new one. How can I set up my old one for him with his email (an att.net account) and set up my new one with my email account (me.com)? One main computer, the iMac. Do I need to set up a seperate Apple ID and/or iCloud account for him on our main computer? We want to have our email accounts seperate on each iPad. I appreciate any insight on how to do this.

Back up your current iPad, the restore the new iPad to the backup of your old one.  This will transfer your data and settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  After restoring the backup to your new iPad and confirming that you have all yoru data, you can delete the backup from your iCloud account (to free up storage).
You can then restore the old iPad as a new iPad and create a separate iCloud account on it by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with a different ID.  Having separate iCloud accounts will ensure that the data you sync with iCloud remains separate.  You will also want to use different IDs on the two devices for iMessage to ensure you don't get each other's text messages.  You can share the same ID for iTunes and App store purchasing; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
On your Mac, set up a separate user account for each of you (System Preferences>Users and Groups, click "+" at the bottom of the left sidebar to create a new user account), then sign into your respective iCloud accounts within your user account on your Mac.

  • The email to verify my account to setup iCloud on my new iPad never comes. I cannot set up iCloud on the device. Help.

    I can't setup iCloud on my new iPad. Although the verify page says check email there is none.

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5404.

  • I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, a nano maybe for the gym. Can I use the same library or do I need to set up a new library for the 2nd iPod? Is that possible? I mean for one to have 2 iTune librarys?

    I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, maybe a Nano for the gym. Would I need a 2nd iTunes library? Is that possibly, I mean for one person to have 2 iTune librarys/accounts?

    In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
    Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
    The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
    For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
    You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
    Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists"  So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
    When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
    I hope I explained it better this time.

  • If I press 'delete account' on my iCloud for my iPod Touch, will it effect anything on my iPhone?

    I want to stop photos I take on my iPod Touch, being uploaded to my iPhone. If I press 'delete account' will it affect anything on my iPhone? Or will it just delete iCloud off my iPod?

    It will remove any data you are syncing with your iCloud account from your iPod (but the data will still be in your iCloud account), as well as your my photo stream photos.  You will be prompted with an option to Keep on My iPod when you tap Delete Account.  Then will keep a copy of much of the data on your iPod.  It will not keep any synced notes, synced documents and data from apps, or your iCloud backup or your iCloud email account.  If you want to keep your my photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.
    However, if your only goal is to stop streaming photos to your iPhone, you don' t need to delete the account from your iPod.  All you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn off My Photo Stream.  If you want to keep your my photo stream photos on your iPod, save them to your camera roll before turning this setting off.

    I do not own an Apple products. However, I keep getting asked to subscribe to the icloud to see photos.  Is there anyway I can received the pictures or access icloud on my Windows PC.

    You cannot set up an iCloud account without an Apple product of some sort to do it on.

  • Does itunes account charge me money for album artwork

    hi i have uploaded mp3s and cds on itunes i clicked the get missing artwork but i need an itunes account and it asks for my credit card. will it charge me if i just want the album artwork?

    ok i got an account and i pressed automatically get
    album artwork and i still don't see any??
    You can only get artwork if the album is already in the Store in the first place.
    Furthermore, the automatic feature only works for newly imported content, not stuff that was already in your library. You have to manually apply the artwork.

  • How do I sync my wife's iTunes account with my iCloud account?

    She bought a macbook before we got together.  So, iTunes is registered under her account.  However, I have an iPhone that I sync with her MacBook (and iTunes), and now I have my own iCloud account.  What I'd like to do is keep my iCloud account separate but continue to share iTunes and iPhoto.  Can someone help with this?
    Also, I've got more music and photos than my iPhone can store (plus my macbook is maxed out also) and I'm hoping that iCloud is the answer - store music and photos in the cloud but still access them on my devices.  Am I way off here?

    If she hasn't yet bought anything on her account then she could use your account with the store apps instead of her own, an account can be used on multiple devices - she can log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and she can then log in with a different account.  She can either use her own or your account in Settings > iCloud for backing up (assuming that she wants to back to the cloud and if you want to share calendars etc) - an iCloud account has a free 5 gig allowance, that is per account, not device

  • I have multiple computers set up on homesharing under one itunes account. Can I use face time on all of them or do i need seperate accounts for each?

    I have multiple computers set up on homesharing under one itunes account. Can I use face time on all of them or do i need seperate accounts for each?

    I'd suggest you consider a cloud-based file sharing service such as Dropbox for this sort of use. iOS is not designed to be synched with more than one iTunes library at a time, so attempting to use it as you describe, connecting a single iPad to multiple computers, almost certainly won't work as you intend and is likely to cause nothing but headaches.

  • I have a profile that has 2 email accounts in it - I need to seperate them into two distinct profiles, how can I do this?

    I had a single laptop and several email accounts - a personal gmail account, a work gmail account (freelance writing) and a non-gmail account for my day-job.
    Until recently, my two gmail accounts were under a single profile and the job email in another.
    A month ago, I purchased a new computer so now I have a computer at home and at work and need to set up my emails at home.
    When taking a backup from thunderbird on my existing/old computer, it has it all saved as one profile - BUT I need to seperate them at home into seperate profiles.
    A friend suggested 1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder and 3) deleting the second account, 4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile and then 5) deleting the other email from this new profile, thus leaving two profiles.
    However, this sounded strange to me - possible, but strange - so I've elected to ask for help here before I try anything.
    Any advice in this regard is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Basically that's the way to go, with some modifications:
    Instead of<br>
    ''1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder''
    follow these instructions:<br>
    Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

    The same goes for<br>
    ''4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile''
    Make sure to create backups of your profiles.

  • Need to seperate teen daughter from my account

    My daugher joined my account when she was 10.  Now that she is 14 we need to seperate, but she does not want to lose all of her music. What is the best way to preserve her music, get my e-mail address off the account and each get our own accounts?  Thanks.

    As long as you have a legitimate serial number, you can just download a trial version of the version you need from the public Adobe site, install it and input your valid serial number upon installing it.
    You will need to apply all available updates, as all downloads are of the original release.
    The Extended and the Standard version of Photoshop are one and the same binary.  It's your serial number that makes it Extended or Standard.

  • My 2 children have an ipod touch each, do i need 2 seperate itunes accounts

    my 2 children have an ipod touch each, do i need 2 seperate itunes accounts

    No. but you need another mail address if they what to keep their FaceTinme and Messages separate. See:
    MacMost Now 653: Setting Up Multiple iOS Devices For Messages and FaceTime
    However,without different account there Contacts and Calendar would be shared. You have to create different/another ID to separate them. However, you can still use one ID for the iTunes and App stores so they can share music and apps. Just make sure that in Settings>iTunes and App stores the some account is used. If you tap on the Apple ID you can sign signout and sign into another account.

  • HT202213 Home sharing.  Multiple ipods and more than one user..... Do they all need seperate accounts?

    I have set my kids ipods up on home sharing.  Now when their games on each personal ipod, they are the same user.  Is there any way of changing this?  Or do I have to make each kid a seperate account and buy all of these games twice? 

    It doesn't look like anybody had any answers for me, but its no big deal as I solved it myself. The problem was dependent on the WebLogic's implementation of their security context and hence there probably isn't a generic solution. It turns out that WebLogic can associate a user object with each thread. If a thread does not have a user object associated with it, it uses the default user which is assigned the first time a user signs in. The problem was that the application thread was used to initially sign in, but the awt event thread was used to access the ejb. Since the awt thread had no context it would use the default.
    If anyone wants to know more about the exact solution you can email me at r k e n w o r t h y@h o t m a i l . c o m (pardon the spaces - hopefully they will avoid extra spam going to my account).
