How do you install the same Apple ID on two ipads

I have an original ipad and just purchased an ipad air.  I want to use the same Apple ID and it won't let me.  Is there a way to do this?

That is the problem, you don't want to create a new Apple ID. You want to sign in with the Apple ID. When you activate the iPad you are given the option to sign into your ID or create a new one. You selected the wrong option. Try going back a screen or two to get the sign in option again.
You can always skip the sign in and wait until the device is activated then sign in  -  settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID.

    I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad.  Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

  • HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

    can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

    If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs.  If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
    You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • How do I use the same Apple ID on two or more devices?

    I try to set up an Apple ID on my iPad but I already have one set up for my iPhone which is associated with my email. It makes me use a different email address which I don't want to do

    You certainly can use the same ID for multiple devices. In fact, if you do then you can share the apps and content between devices. I have an iPad and iPod and use the same Apple ID for them both.
    If I were using different ID's for each  device then I'd need to buy two copies of some apps, which would just be no fun at all.

  • How do I use the same Apple ID on my iPad as my iPhone?

    I can't access the email I used for my Apple ID on my iPad and want to use the Apple ID that I use on my iPhone on my iPad, but don't know how to change it..

    Thanks Rudegar, that worked. Would you happen to know how to do the same with iCloud? It's the same thing - the iCloud account on my iPad isn't in use anymore and wanted to use the same account as my iPhone..

  • How can I use the same Apple Id on two different devices without having to re-enter my payment details

    I have a Macbook Pro and an iPad2 which I sync to the Macbook. Sometimes I buy apps straight from the iPad and other times from the Macbook but each time I change from one to the other I have to re-enter my payment details. Can I set my account up to recognise that I may buy from both of these devices?

    Apple "verifies" your Apple ID account information with every purchase of all free or paid apps whether iOS devics or computers.
    Apple wants to make sure someone else hasn't compromised your account.

    I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

    I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
    also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
    I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

  • How do you install HP Photosmart Apple software with just an iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7 and a new HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer. How do you install the Apple software on the CD if you don't have a computer to do so?
    Is there some kind of wifi internet install of the CD's software or do I have to go find a computer to do this?
    This is frustrating and I can't find info that says what to do.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    You should not need to install the CD software.
    Your Printer Model Appears to be AirPrint Compatible as found in the list of printers here.
    AirPrint Basics

    Basically all you would need to do is connect the Printer to the Same Wifi network your iPad is connected to and off you go.

  • How to use the same apple id on two different iphones with different sync?

    Hi all,
    I own an iPhone 4s for personal use. Soon my company is going to give me a business phone and I can choose to have another iPhone. I'd love it but I don't know if what I wanna do is possible.
    Let's say I will have iPhone P (personal) and iPhone B (business) and Apple ID MyID.
    At the moment on iPhone P with account MyID I have application App1, App2, ... App9, I have contacts Cont1, Cont2, ...Cont9, I have songs Song1, Song2, ... Song9. All these are synced on my personal PC via iTunes and stored in the iCloud.
    When I'll get iPhone B I'd love to be able to use on it my Apple ID MyID and to sync it with my business PC (so NOT the same one I use for iPhone P).
    The configuration I'd love to have would be the following.
    iPhone P
    - Applications: App1, App2, App3, App8, App9
    - Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, ... Cont9
    - Songs: Song1, Song2, ... Song9
    iPhone B
    - Applications: App4, App5,App6, App7, App8, App9, App10 etc.
    - Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, Cont10, Cont11, ..., Cont20
    - Songs: Song1, Song2, Song10, Song11, ... Song20
    So will it be possible using the same Apple ID MyID on both iPhones to have this configuration? Some apps, contacts and songs in common and some differents?
    If so, how should I configure the two iPhones and the two PCs?
    Kind regards.

    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    Must be a verified email address.

    Did you go into Settings > Store and then tap your old ID, sign out and then enter your new ID?
