How many ipads can i sync to one iMac?

I am a teacher and our ESL team is considering getting 4-5 iPads for our students and we are wondering how many iPads can we sync to one iMac?  I thought it could be potentially much easlier to sync all 5 iPads to one iMac and use this one iMac and its iTunes as our sync station since I am planning on having our team all use pretty much all the same apps with our students...is this possible?

Hi mstaum,
Yes, they can all sync to the same iTunes library. The key is the AppleID that you will be using. Are you planning on using the same AppleID and iCloud account for all users? If so, then you will want to be sure to set up the Restrictions on each iPad to require a Password for purchases immediately, so you can prevent the students from purchasing other apps on the credit card you are using for the iTunes account....
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

    As far as I'm aware, the restriction is five Apple IDs on a single iTunes on a single computer.  Multiple iPads are supported.  I do not know if there is a maximum quantity.

    There is no device limit for the number of iPods/iPhones/iPads that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.

    Bryan,
    According to iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID:
    "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days."

  • How many tvs can i sync to one library?

    This is a simple question, I know. Is there a limit to how many tvs i can sync to my hypothetical Mac Pro? I'm a very analytical buyer and can't find a confirming statement to satisfy.
    If you'd like to dive further: I am constantly trying to design the simplest whole-house media experience. (not financially fit, yet dreamily idealistic). My latest reduction is this: 1 Mac Pro jammed full of iTunes music/movies and eyeTV recordings. An tv/tv/sound system in every desired room(5). And a MacBook to float around. Your thoughts? (if you must burst my bubble, try let me down easy)

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Not sure I can answer your question with 100% certainty, but have likely got some good news for you.
    I have 5 tv's and 7 macs from which they feed. Not every tv is linked to every mac indeed it can't be, a single tv can only sync with one itunes library and stream from up to 5. However the itunes library on my mac is our main library and is used by every tv.
    Whilst I am certain that each tv can work with up to 5 libraries I have never seen any specifications about how many tv's a single library can support, although I have delved into the text strings buried inside the itunes application and seen error messages which tend to suggest the answer is 5. Clearly only having 5 tv's I'm unable to test my findings.
    I have seen a report about someone setting up 40 tv's in a motel from one library, but I have my suspicions that even if true it might not be quite as straight forward as it seems, but who am I to question other peoples claims.
    However since you seem to indicate you want to have 5 tv's I am able to confirm that 5 do work.
    Although this may be initially good news for you, you may have to give the matter a little more thought. I have set up an gigabit ethernet network to which my mac is directly attached as are 4 wifi networks to enable 3 of the tv's to work wirelessly alongside a number of other wifi devices I have running in our household.
    Also whilst I don't actually know, I suspect I have never actually had 5 tv's trying to stream from my library at once, indeed I suspect I have never had more than 3 tv's actually working at once from the same library, although I suppose it would be easy enough to test more.
    If you suspect that you may need 5 tv's working from the same library at the same time then you might want to implement syncing to reduce the possible load on your network and your single library, as each tv is capable of syncing with a single library it would be possible to enable syncing on all your tv's.
    If you have anymore specific questions about my set up or how it works please feel free to ask, as I have only given you a basic outline of my experience.

  • How many ipads can sync to one itunes account?

    how many ipads can sync to one itunes account?

    You can use a single Apple ID with a maximum of ten devices and computers (combined). Only five of them can be computers. So if you're only authorizing iPads and no computers, then you can authorize 10 iPads with one Apple ID.
    Here's some verbiage from Apple's Terms and Conditions:
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    (i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    (ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
    (iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
    (iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers.
