Managing Shared iPads and iPod Touches for different Departments

What would be the best way to manage multiple iPads used for different departments in an educational setting.  I work in an educational setting and have recently purchased three iPads and 5 iPod touches for the sharing of four different departments each having both common and  different uses and app desires?  What are some best practices for managing accounts and workflow? Ex;  Workflow for updating, syncing and maintenance?  What about credit card accounts, does each iPad profile need to have a credit card account attached to it?  What questions do we need to think in terms of creating a standard build without compromising the individual needs that each department may want to have on the iPads.  Any advice would really help?

Hi Carolina,
I too would love to know how to do this. I think you can manage multiple ipads/ipods from one computer, but don't know whether you can actually have different setups for apps on various ones.
If you get any answers, would you please share with me?
regards,
Rob

  • Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound.  Others still do.  Checked general settings.  Any other ideas?

    Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound.  Others still do.  I checked general settings.  Any other ideas of how to fix this?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

    The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

  • Not receiving messages from Skype on my ipad and iPod touch 5gen

    IPod touch 5 gen 32 gig black IOS 7.0.2
    Ipad 3rd gen, 32 gig white IOS 7.0.2
    I am not receiving messages on my ipad and iPod touch from Skype, it won't come thru,  I've tried reboot and hard reset, but nothing works, I reinstalled Skype, and nothing works.

    I had this same problem also.  The problem has to do with your credit card number associated with you iCloud account.  To solve this problem, you need to update your credit card/payment information by doing the following on your iPad / iPhone / iTouch:
         Settings > iCloud > click on your account > Payment Information
    Update this section with your correct credit card information and Save.

  • My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

    Hi,
    Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
    I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
    Kind Regards,
    Ward

    So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
    I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
    I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

  • How to sync Itunes with ipad and ipod touch

    I've had an ipod touch for sometime now and I recently got an Ipad. My question is can I sync my exitsing library over to both devices without wiping out my library and if so can someone provide me with the steps on how?

    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipods as you like to one computer/library.
    Plug one in, select what you want to sync, sync, unplug.
    Plug tother one in, select what you want to sync, sync, unplug.

  • IPhone, iPad and iPod touch Video

    On the next iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you should really make it so you can screenshare, meaning you can take photos without the camera but you should be able to make videos. So when you take a photo, you press the home button and the turn off /turn on button at the same time quickly. If you hold them both at the same time for a few seconds, they should be able to take videos! It'd be a cool feature, considering skype is an app and FaceTime and people want to screen share. Hope it happens, and mention me for the idea! -Micah

  • HT1430 I already own an iPhone & have purchased and iPod touch for my husband. How can I have a  completely separate Apple ID for both of the devices?

    I have purchased an iPhone 4s 2 years ago and recently purchased an iPod touch for my husband while he was abroad working. I used the same Apple ID when setting up the iPod touch but now I want to know how I can have two separate Apple IDs. One for his iPod touch and one for my iPhone?

    Create a new ID and start using it.
    You will not be able to transfer your existing purchases and updates will require knowing the password for the old ID.

  • HT201628 This does not work as iTunes is  'Required by Mac OS X'. Any other ideas? Both my ipad and ipod touch cannot be updated at this time

    Neither my ipad or ipod touch are recognised by itunes when connected by USB, or wifi. Itunes only recognises the camera element. Any ideas of how to fix this?

    Plug them in to a Windows PC for the purposes of the updates.

  • I am having trouble synchronizing my calendars from my computer to my iPhone, iPads and iPod touch

    Since upgrading to Mt. Lion I am having problems syncing my calendars thru iTunes onto my iPhone , 2 IPad 2's, 1 iPad 3 and iPod touch. Some things will sync and some not. My whole family syncs to iCal on our iMac but lately none of the appts we put on our devices are syncing with the computer and vice versa. This happens whether we try wireless or wired sync. Any suggestions?

    Never mind:)  I finally found a post taht helped me figure out the problem.  You have to turn off the parental restrictions...duh!

  • Can I use the exactly all applications in bout an iPad  and iPod touch

    Hi.there my question is. Beside the size on the iPod touch 4 generation and the iPad 2 can I do the same things. ?

    No. Some apps are only for the iPad and will not work on the iPod.  Also, the iPad 2 has a much better processor and more memory (not talking about storage space) and some apps will not work on the iPod.  Also, the iPad 1 does not have a comera so the iPod apps tha need a comera will not work on the iPad 1.

  • Iphone 4s, ipad, and iPod touch cannot connect to google

    I have had problems with my iphone 4s since ios6 update.  But today, I cannot connect to internet with my iphone, ipad or daughters ipod touch.  The imac works fine.  Is there a google problem today?
    I type something in the search bar and it spins and spins and then says cannot connect to server.  Apps that connect or stream work fine.
    Frustrated

    Problem Solved! WPA/WPA2 password is cAsE-SeNsItIve.
    This is a little insidious problem.
    I replaced my D-Link with my Time Capsule.
    In order to ensure compatibility, I kept my same 26-character hex password. For example: 1234567890ABC1234567890ABC
    So, when I setup my Time Capsule, I pasted it in exactly as shown.
    Well, on the iPod Touch when you enter the password, it displays the key entries in CAPS(!) even if it is not in CAPS mode. Additionally, it's a password. So the iPod touch masks the characters you enter. So, in reality I was entering:
    1234567890abc1234567890abc
    To make it work, I had to press the shift key for each non-numeric character.
