I have two ipad 2's, why can't i use the same update file for ios7 to update both?

my kids have an ipad 2 each and we have limited internet, ihave downloaded ios7 update and updated one but it requires a second download for the second ipad 2, is it possible to use the one download like you use to be able to ?
I have tried to "shift / click update" and navigate to update but it will not allow it as it's "firmware is incompatable"

Are the two iPads identical? Can one be Wi-Fi only and the other be Wi-Fi + cellular?

    In my family we have 3IPhones 4S, one IPhone5, one IPad3, one IPadMini and two IPad 4. Is it possible to use the same energieadapter for all of those ?

    Yes but the iPhone chargers will struggle to charge the iPads ,they need more power than the iPhone chargers produce and with an iPad will charge VERY slowly
    The iPad chargers whether 10w or 12 will happily charge all your devices and Apple confirms the compatibility on the relevant web page.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Why can't I use the same email for messages on the IPad as the iPhone?

    I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with iOS 5, I'm trying to set up the messages app to send text messages.  It's telling me that the email address that Im entering can't be verified because it's already in use.  Well, it's the only one I have, am I able to use the same one that I've been using all along?

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

  • TS2446 If my iTunes account was shut down due to fraud activity why can I not use the same credit card if I choose to when I have no other way to pay

    When I turned in my iTunes account b/c fraud activity had been detected while my iPhone was not working so they disenabled my iTunes account but I got my new apple id back to download free games but I can't use my debit card anymore and want to use the same card as that is the only access I have as a form of payment

    You can give feed back to Apple from the iTunes drop-down menu in the iTunes menu bar..
    You can also contact the iTS Customer Service from the links on this page - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • Can 2 people use the same I pad for the same apps?

    Can 2 people sharing an I Pad 2 use the same apps like games for instance?  Can each person log in when using the I Pad? Can you register the I Pad in 2 names so you can each individually use if for your own apps?

    One user only on the iPad, no way to create multiple user accounts in iOS.

  • Why can't I use the same itunes account on my new computer?

    I have a nano and had my itunes on my old computer. It crashed. I got a new computer and when I went to download more songs to the nano, it wanted me to delete all the songs. It wouldn't let me download the songs to the new computer. Now I have an ipod touch and an iphone and would like to transfer the songs to them...how does this happen???? I really don't want to lose all those songs. Thanks

    You need to use the iTunes backup you made on your old computer and restore it to the new one.

  • Can i use the same apple id for 2 iphomes

    I have an iphone 4s and iphone 5, do i use the same apple ID for both?

    Does each iphone has a distinct tag - for instance - for "find my iphone"?
    Yes if each phone a a deferent name.
    Will you have the same contacts, calendar and email for both?
    I think yes if you both use the same iCloud account. However,You can add/sync to other calendars like the Google calendar and not show that one one device.
    What issues have been reported on this topic? I plan to use two separate telcos as my service provided ( one for each iphone).
    The carrier makes no difference on syncing/Apple ID 

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

    How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • Why can't I use the iPad as my smartphone?

    My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone? Ipad is doing everything what a smartphone does, except the calling facilities. Since IPad can connect to the Internet(WiFi), and via VOIP services like skype or yahoo, we can very well connect to any mobile or landline phone. So what I'm asking is, Ipad can very well provide some User interface as phone does and internally it can use the VOIP to connect to phones. Share your views.

    My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone?
    You can as long as you don't want to make calls over a mobile phone network as the iPad doesn't have the hardware to make calls that way.
    At least we'll be able to recognise you on a call:
