Ipad and iphone on the same account with different storage

I have just received an Ipad 16gb as a present. I have an iphone 5 64gb on my itunes account with 17.4gb in music and 14.5gb in apps plus 3.6gb in other items on my itunes/icloud account. How to I add the Ipad with its much smaller storage?
I assume I will run into difficulties when I sync as the ipad will fill up straight away, therefore becoming usless?
Any advice on how to pick and chose so I don't fill the Ipad straight away.
Thanks for any help in advanced.

Close iTunes/iPhoto/iWhateverYoureRunningThatYouWantToShare. Now move your iTunes folder (found in your Music folder by default) and move the iPhoto Library (found in your Pictures folder by default) to /Users/Shared. Now in your profile, hold down alt/option while opening iTunes. A dialog box should come up asking you to create a or choose a library location. Point it to the +iTunes Library+ file in the iTunes folder you just made.
Now hold alt/option while opening iPhoto and a similar dialog box should come up asking the same question as iTunes. Point it to the iPhoto Library you moved.
Now repeat the hold alt/option process for your missus' profile. /Users/Shared is a folder all users can access so by having your iTunes and iPhoto libraries in there, you can both access it without permission errors.

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

Sure. Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone from the same MacBook pro?

Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone to ios 5 from the same MacBook pro? Our family has one MacBook pro and several iphones and ipads. No one wants to lose their iTunes music or contact list or calendars.

Yes, but you will want to think it through before you do it.
The computer will become the "master" device, holding the definitive collection of music, photos, contacts, etc., and each iPad or iPhone will get a copy of what's on the computer. So if everyone has different collections of music or photos that you all want to keep separate from each other, you'll want to set up different accounts on the MacBook Pro. To do that, go into "System Preferences" and click "Users", then click the "+" to create a new account for each person who needs their own set of files.
That way you can each log in to your own MacBook account before you sync your iPhone or iPad, and everyone has their own copy of iTunes and their own iPhoto. If you happen to plug in an iPhone while logged into someone else's account, you just click "don't sync" (the 1st time only, it will remember after that). Sharing the same files becomes tricky, so this is only the best method if you want to keep things 100% separate.
On the other hand, if you all have your music and photos mishmashed together on the MacBook anyway or just don't care about keeping things separate, just go ahead and sync your iPhones and iPads without setting up new accounts. But in this case, you should create playlists and photo albums in iTunes and iPhoto. Then plug in an iPhone, click on it's icon in iTunes, and change the settings for Music, Photos, etc to only sync the playlists that you want on that device. Repeat for each one. They'll all remember their own settings, and continue to sync with their designated playlists or albums.
What you cannot do is use more than one computer with a single iPhone. That will wipe out the music and photos that were on it already, replacing them with the ones on the second computer.

Sharing Playlists and Music on the Same Computer with Different Users

I'm trying to share music and playlists between different users of the same computer.
Ideally I'd like to use the same iTunes music folder for all users, and have the same music and playlists show up no matter which user logs in (without having duplicate copies/files of the same songs clogging up our hard drive).
also would like to be able to sync our shared iPod no matter which user panel we're logged onto.
is any of this possible with the new version of iTunes?
thanks much i advance.

If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
-move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
-in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
-pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time.

How to sync Ipad and Iphone on the same computer

My wife's iPhone is synched via iTunes on a PC whose hard drive just crashed. I have a laptop that sync's my iPad. I now want to sync her phone on the same laptop. We have separate itunes store account. How can she sync her phone with the laptop and not get the iPad information. We mostly want sync her email and her existing apps. Music and podcasts don't matter.

not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
(stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

How to manage multiple ipads and iphones on the same computer

Any advice on how to manage multiple iphones (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 & iPhone 3G) along with an iPad & iPad 2 on the same computer?
Thank you

The article that AnaMusic references assumes that you sync automatically I believe. Turn off auto sync and select whatever you want to put on each device. As Philly said, it really is a snap. I have never synced automatically and I never selected iTunes to start up when my iDevices are connected. I want the control over all of that.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPads name on left sidebar under the devices heading and then click on the summary tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select - Sync only checked songs and videos. If you really want to "live dangerously" - uncheck Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. Now you can control what you sync and when iTunes starts up. iTunes will not start up when you connect the iPad and it will not sync anything on its own.
Go into each tab in iTunes, Info, Music, Apps, .... All of them - check what you want to sync in each section. After you have made all of your selections (and you have checked all of the headings - Sync Music, Sync Apps and so on) click on Apply in the lower right corner on iTunes and the sync will take place.
Do this with each iDevice and iTunes will remember what you selected for each device the last time that you synced. You can make changes to this configuration any time that you want for each device and if you do just remember to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes in order to apply the changes.

Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well. How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work? Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.

Syncing ipad and iphone on the same mac!?!

How do i stop that from happening? I only want my ipad apps to be transferred to my mac and my iphone purchases over to my mac individually.

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Time Capsule and Extreme on the same network with different roles

I've just bought a new Time Capsule device which replaces my slightly older Airport Extreme Base Station. The TC is attached directly to my broadband modem via ethernet. This works fine. I want to use the old AEB as a 'print server', in other words a device I can plug printers into to enable wireless printing. This is because the printers are in a different place to the telephone line in.
With the TC running on its own, everything works fine. But as soon as I switch on the AEB, I get errors up on screen such as "IP Configuration; 91.84.115.158 in use by 00:1f:f3:3e:95:6d, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1". Alongside this error message (which occurs every 30 seconds) the internet connection frequently cuts out and comes back online by itself. Also, some computers are connecting to the AEB instead of TC for an internet connection. It's chaos!
I have tried TC in various wireless modes such as "Participate in a WDS Network". Likewise I have set the old AEB in "Bridge Mode" for internet connectivity and the WDS is set as a remote. It seems I can only have one on and not the other. I have tried using different radio channels too without much luck.
I have looked through the designing Airport Networks manual, but the illustrations have an AEB before the TC whereas my network is the other way round.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong or offer some design advice / good links?

I've done a hard reset of both devices and swapped them over vice-versa. The problem seems to be the network will only support a SINGLE device. In Airport Utility I can only get one of the two devices to show in the sidebar, rarely both devices are temporarily present. I've configured both to use the same network names and WPA passwords in the hope they will 'merge' together onto the same network. But one just seems to cancel out the other.
Right now I've go the old AEB plugged back into the modem and its working. But the new TC device which I've plugged into the printers wont show on the network and has the amber light flashing.

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. Then iWork would be listed as purchased app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account...

Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!
