Ipad set up for a school

OK need some advise on seting up new ipad's for my son's school. Issue is how or what itunes do u use to activate the ipad's. I belive you need a credit card to open an itunes acc. school's dont hve that.

You sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID, then sign onto the school ID in order to use it. You know your situation better than I do, but when you switch ID's on the iPad and go back and forth in order to download purchases, you run the risk of locking yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days.

  • Since changing over to a new BT hub my iPad mini will not recognise an Epson XP printer although this worked fine with Sky. Printer and iPad set up for new hub and independently recognise hub

    Since changing over to a new BT home hub, my iPad mini does not recognise an Epson XP 305 air printer although system worked well on previous Sky hub. Both printer and iPad set up and recognise hub independently. Has anyone come across this problem?

  • Which is better iPad or Mac for high school students?

    I just took SHSAT and my mother promise me that I will get one that I wish if I get in. I did not want to waste that wish and use it on others wastable stuff. So I was thinking that Apple device would make great studying for me in High School. I have iMac but Macbook air is portable and ipad is portable. Both of them are really good. I don't know what to choose. If you can't decide as well, please suggest what should I get. And Please do not tell me I won't go in to spealized high school because I already have a lot of stress.

    MacBook Air is the best of both worlds.
    The instant on and fast response of an iPad, but has the full size keyboard, full OS X and expandablity of a Mac computer.
    The MacBook Air is almost as light as an iPad, but is much more flexible.

  • Ipad vs. macbook for High Schooler

    Have a kid in high school who wanted to buy a macbook and saved long and hard to get one, but then decided to get a pad since he can use it for documents. He also got a Touch for Christmas. I thought this was an ok decision because he wanted to save the difference for future expenses, and the rep at apple supported this. I would really appreciate informed feedback if this was a totally ridiculous thing for him to do (we can return it and get the book)if it's really a neccessity but after reviewing all of the tutorials on ipad, I think it will serve his needs. Help?

    If he has access to another computer at home to which he can sync his iPad and do the real heavy work, and you, after educating yourself, think it will work, I'd say you're fine. It's lighter and has better battery life than a MacBook. I would never recommend it to someone who doesn't have another computer but as a portable adjunct, it's fantastic.

  • Ipad set up for a pixma 870 series printer

    hi, I can't seem to find my printer on my ipad 2. How could I print from my ipad2 to my wireless printer. I have an airport router with my mac and a pc they both print fine wirelessly no problems. but not my ipad 2 pls help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This Apple Support Communities thread started in November 2010 has a minor tweak to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that will probably allow your printer to work. Originally published for 10.6.5, I'm using in on OS X 10.6.7, and have used it successfully with both 10.6.6 and 10.6.8.
    Note that your Mac has to be on in order to print.
    Link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    (Sorry, haven't tested with newest OS X 10.7 Lion, and have no plans to upgrade to Lion.)
    There is also a free Canon app in the app store for printing photos only.

    I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school.  The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent.  I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup.  When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen.  It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows. 
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
    Thanks for any ideas/input

    The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
    But
    It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
    And you never answered this question.
    Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

  • Ipad for High school

    What iPad is best for high school?
    Reqirements: Not Allowed iPad Mini must be full sized, 4th Gen or air, runs IOS 7 apps (Compatible with IOS 7) Fast internet browsing.
    What Sized GB is recomended?
    P.S Mac 1 Site is a place for purchasing, wollongong.  http://www.mac1.com.au/
    Thankyou, Domi24

    What type of school are you going for; what are the requirements you are going to be allowed to run. How long are you keeping the iPad?
    If it's light use and only for research purposes, a low GB would be fine
    If you plan to use it to store content and school related infomation a 32 may be needed
    If you need to create videos; or store larger files 64GB
    128? That's heavy use....Need more details on WHAT YOU need.

  • Help setting up for ipad for 9yo for school

    We have recently bought an Ipad air 2 for my daughter who needs it for school. I am just after some advice on the best way to set it up in regards to parental control etc. Does she or should she have her own email address?
    She is a pretty good kid and has an ipod touch, which she is only allowed to use on weekends. Have never had a problem with purchases or downloads as I had the password. But now she will need it in order to download stuff for school. Does she need her own apple id?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Strategies for purchasing and installing apps for classroom iPad sets?

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • I changed my Apple ID a while ago but my iPad is asking for the old one to set up iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID a while ago because I got a new email address, and it works fine when I am downloading apps or music etc. but I just got the iOS 6 update on my iPad and it's asking for the password to my old apple ID to set up iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime. I followed the steps to reset my password, but it's not working because its asking about the old email address and I can't seem to change it. It's an optional step but I'd like to be able to have this stuff set up on my iPad. Thanks for the help!

    If you need to change the ID for iMessage, go to Settings>Massages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you need to change the ID for FaceTime, do the same thin in Settings>FaceTime.
    If you need to change the ID for iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
