How do I create a separate email account on a second iPad?

I purchased a used iPad1 for my father. I'm trying to create a gmail account on the iPad. I can log into the email account on gmail but it says "The username or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect." What am I doing wrong? I carefully re-enter the user name and password to match the gmail account but it won't work. What is imap.gmail? Any help would be much appreciated.
This may or may not be related but due to the email problems I restored the iPad to it's original condition (new) I removed my dad's account and started fresh but when I hooked it up to my iMac it synched my apps, calendar, etc. How do I prevent it from synching to my iPad2?

There are two forms of Gmail, POP3 and IMAP. You configure which to use in Gmail's settings. Then you configure the iPad to use the correct version.

You configure what is synced to the iPad by the choices that you make in the iTunes app on your computer.

How i can create an adobe email account

how i can create an adobe email account?

Hi Alberto,
I'm sorry, but to create native iOS applications, you have to use XCode, which runs only on OSX. Any (modern) Mac (iMac, MacMini, MacBook) can run XCode, but developing apps just on the iPhone is impossible.

Am I able to synch separate email accounts/clients to different ipads?

Am I able to synch separate email accounts/clients to different ipads from the same machine?
Two users, each have an ipad. On the same machine. one user utilizes the Mac mail client, the other uses Outlook for Mac, both users using the same machine login and user profile. I want to synch my iPad's mail and folders to Outlook but leave the other iPad synching to the Mac Mail client.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
-Sam

Well.. that is lame. IMHO, it shouldn't matter if I have POP or IMAP, so long as the data set is on the local machine it should synch my folders. I can't stand not being able to add folders on the ipad mail client..
anyway.. thanks very much.. though it's not the answer I hoped for I appreaciate it.

How do I create 2 separate iCloud accounts

My whole office uses Iphones. Recently my boss shared his icloud calander with me, so I can be updated on his where abouts. Well I don't want them swwing all of my calander. I thought if I make another itunes account, I could create a seperate icloud account also for my own personal use. I looked on the iphone under settings for my icloud, I don't want to delete my current calander, which I need to see my boss's updates. I just want to use the new email address for icloud. Does anyone know how to do this since the email is all grayed out on my icloud?

Sorry Tzadii, I see my previous message was probably not the best suggestion. You said your boss shared his calendar with you. Sharing is a way to share the same calendar with more people ON DIFFERENT ICLOUD ACCOUNTS. You also sayd yopu boss RECENTLY shared .... how was it before ? Were you with 2 differrent accounts ? Better reading your message I understand that you have the same iCloud account. There is the problem, you are not sharing the calendars you use the same calendar and the same data and this should have been always the same.
For sure you need to setup a new iCloud account with a new AppleID.
Of course you wish to save the informations you have on your iPhone.
THe problem was already discussed and I found a message about the way to setup a new account and save your date on the iPhone. Here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4448941

Creating a new user on your computer is the easiest way to keep the media separated.

How do I create a new Apple id for a second ipad

However, it is not necessary to create separate IDs for each device you use (in fact, in most cases, it is not desirable). What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

Can't create a personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520.

I cannot create an personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520. I’ve already followed some of the instructions from this forum and on the main website of Blackberry but still can’t create an email account for my phone.
These are the steps I’m doing when I’m trying to create and email.
From the home screen, go to Setup.
Click Setup Wizard.
Click Email Setup.
But when I’m in the email setup, the only option I have is the “I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.
I don’t have the option of “I want to create or add an email address”.
Now, how can I create a personal email account on my phone?
I hope somebody can help me in my problem.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
Good luck!

Password protecting separate email accounts on one ipad

Is it possible to password protect separate email accounts on the same ipad?

Nothing that I know of will disallow deleting apps. I looked at the Restrictions Settings and nothing is there about prevent deletion of items. You can also enable a Passcode that requires you to enter a four digit code to unlock and use your iPad. The downside is that you have to enter the passcode when you want to use your iPad.

My two iPads share an Apple ID. How can I create a separate Game Center account so they can play each other?

My two iPads share an Apple ID. How can I create a separate Game Center account so they can play each other?

1. This is a year old post. Things have changed, the answer is no longer accurate due to how the OS functions now.
2. You can't have a second Gamecenter account tied to the same Apple ID, because the Apple ID is the game center account. They are not separate things.
3. The OP said they had 2 iPads, which means they can use a different Apple ID for Gamecenter on the second iPad.
4. You can still creare Apple ID's specifically for game center without changing them for the other services on the other devices.

I have the same issue. Young children who cannot get Apple ID's but we all want separate Gamecenter accounts.
You need to get Apple ID's for them. They aren't getting them, you are. You can manage these new ID{s yourself. You can even make sure they have no credit card and are not associated with any other service on the device. So essentially they are Apple ID's for GameCente only.

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

How do I create a new Itunes account for my external HD?

Hi. I am a graduate student with a huge amount of music files for academia. I store the academia music files on my external HD, since it will just take up too much space on my computer. I wanted to create a separate Itunes account just for my external HD music files. How do I go about doing this? I tried to set it up and created a new account, but it automatically synced to my computer Itunes and I ended up deleting all of my personal music, video and reading articles on my personal itunes account.

As a graduate student you will quickly learn the importance of exact terminology. I presume your colleague told you to copy the "iTunes folder". You can't copy just iTunes (well, you can, but it isn't easy). Saying "iTunes" on its own refers to the application itself, not the library.
You do not need to make a new account. This again gets confusing unless you tell us exactly what you did. As I said before, an "iTunes account" is something you log into to make a purchase from the iTunes Store. A "computer account" is a whole new user area on your computer and isn't made on a different hard drive. An "iTunes library" is a collection of files and folders that generate the window you see when you start the iTunes application.
I do not know how you are ending up with two icons on the dock. While it is possible to do that it isn't at all normal unless you somehow are running two copies of iTunes at the same time. That is exceedingly difficult to do and people have unsuccessfully tried and would like to know how you did it.
You can have two independent libraries and there won't be any crosssover from one to the other. I have four on my computer. Use the procedure I outlined earlier to create a second library and to switch between them.
I was a graduate student many years ago and one of the first things I learned to do so I didn't lose years of research was to make multiple backup copies of anything I generated by computer, especially before performing any major changes to the computer such as installing new software or substantial file rearrangement. I kept several copies in different buildings on campus and a copy at home in another part of town just in case the campus was wiped out by a disaster.
