How do i set up my daughters ipad seperately

How do I set up my daughters Ipad using our apple id but so that I dont get all her apps

I just did this with my wife's ipad. I have a couple of suggestions. You can make a separate user id (apple id) for each one OR (the option I used first) I used one apple ID for both and in the settings I turn off the automatic downloads for apps under the itunes apps and store. Now, the problem i found with this is that we both received iMessages. If you want to share music, and little else, create a new apple ID and use that for iMessages and anything else (including mail). You can then share your music purchased with the original apple ID and also have the individual settings that you prefer. You will need to go through the programs under the settings area and make sure that only the programs intentionally shared have the same apple ID.
In order to create a new apple ID without assigning another credit card or whatever, I used my laptop (oh the horror) and went to google and researched a couple of people's plans. The one I found easiest was to (without signing in to itunes) download an app that was FREE and then it asked for an apple ID or to create one. I filled out all the information correctly and then (since the app was free) it bypassed all the usual prerequisite credit card information and then I had it.
If you aren't sharing a music library, or anything else, I'd get an apple ID the way I just described, and keep the ipads completely separate. It would be much easier. Since you seem to need to share an apple ID, simply turn off the automatic downloads feature. An inconvenience will be the inability to messenger each other.
Rambled a bit, but I really did just go through all of this and had to stumble and piece a bunch of different bits of advice together.
Hope this helps. I'll clear up anything you need to if you ask.

  • HT201060 How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters iCloud address when it won't let me because I've allowed her to be part of my family on my iPad.?

    How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?

    If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • 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.

  • How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

    I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system.  How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

  • How can I set up skype on iPad

    Is there an accessory that you can hook up to iPad in order to have video feed on the iPad to set up skype calls? And then how do you set it up?

    I am assuming you are talking about the original iPad which does not have a video camera. Skype requires an iPad 2 for video.

  • HT5622 How do I set icloud on 2 ipads.It recognises one,but not the other one?

    How do I set up icloud on 2 ipads? It recognises one but not the other one.

    Hi Leora Beisly,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Before setting up iCloud on your devices, I recommend updating to the latest iOS software version. This will ensure that you can use all of the iCloud features on your devices. See this article for information on updating your iPads:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Next, see this page for iCloud setup instructions:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2609
    Before you can use iCloud on each of your devices, you need to sign in to iCloud using your existing Apple ID or a new one, then turn on the iCloud features you want to use.
    You may have set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac when you first used it. To make sure it’s set up correctly, or to set up your iCloud account on another iOS device, computer, or Apple TV, go to the set up iCloud website listed below.
    Important: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • We have multiple devices among 4 family members (1 computer, 1 laptop, 4'ipods, 4 iPads , 2 apple tvs.  We currently have 1 apple I'.d.  How do I set up my daughters laptop so that she has access to all apps and music, but I don't want her contacts, photo

    Is there any way of creating separate I.d.'s under 1 apple I.d.?  My kids are too young to have there own apple I.d. And then they wouldn't be able to access all the music and apps we have purchased .....or would they.  I'm am finding this confusing with the numerous devices we have in the family.  When they sync I don't want all of their friends contact info nor do I want them to have mine. I also don't want their goofy photos.  I am the only one with the password for the iTunes account. I had to take them off of iCloud for this reason.  I am not tech savvy but I can figure things out when pointed in the right direction.  Please help!  Thanks and merry Christmas!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
    Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
    if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.
