Multiple Accounts on one iPad

So, here's the situation, my wife received an iPad from her school she teaches at, as she's starting a new program with the kids there where each one will have an iPad as a learning tool during class. So it's technically the school's device, but she has 95% free range with it. There are some restrictions that the IT guy placed on it (IT guys, am I right?) so there's a couple things that we were wondering about. They're not super important at all, but maybe someone knows.
Question 1 - She's concerned to plug it into her desktop computer, for fear of losing the apps that were purchased by the school. The iPad has both her Apple account on it, and the school's. If she syncs it with her iTunes on her computer, will that mess things up? We would just like to back up the purchases that she has made from her account on the device.
Question 2 - Is there a way to update apps that are on the iPad, but were purchased with the other account, without knowing the ID pass? Once again, not important at all. More of an annoyance is all. She can get them all updated through the IT guy once school starts again in the fall, but just seeing if there's a way.
Question 3 - And now, the most useless problem of all of them, is there a way to get send or receive Game Center friend requests outside of an iPad or other handheld device? I have an iPad myself and we tried to become "Game Center" friends last night and because there is all the restrictions on hers, she doesn't have the "invite friend" or "accept friend". I sent one but nothing ever showed up. Super extra not important, but thought we'd see.
Thanks

You can sign in and out of two different iTunes accounts on the iPad but - if the iPad is for your use - since you both have your own computers - I would recommend creating your own Apple ID and iTunes account. This way you can sync to your own computer and she can sync to hers.
Go to Settings>Store on the iPad. You should see your daughter's email address which is her Apple ID. Tap on the email address and a window will pop up that will allow you to sign out of her account. Then you can create your Apple ID and iTunes account.

The only thing about this is if you bought something already with her account - and I'm speaking only about purchases now - you will lose those items when you sync to iTunes. Any free apps can be downloaded again so no need to worry about those.

Can there by multiple accounts under one id? I just loaded a $25 gift card and it showed up in my balance. My daughter, under the same id had $12.0 left from a previous gift card. Now only the $12.01 shows up and the $25 is nowhere to be found?

Can there be multiple accounts under one apple id? My daughter and wife apparently share an id between my daughter's ipod and my wife's ipad. My daughter has what she believes is her $12.01 left from a gift card. My wife loaded a $25 gift card recently (I saw the $25 balance in her account when she was done) and after a password change, now all that shows up is the $12.01?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Can there be multiple accounts on one id?

can there be multiple accounts on one id?

Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer, you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

My daughter and I both have iphones. I created an account (not separate itunes) for her on my computer so she could sync her phone/itunes but not have it interfere with mine since we have WAY different taste in music. Creating a different computer profile should work if you have separate itunes accounts, too.
If you all use the same itunes account, you can turn on Home Sharing. That way you can all download the same content without having to pay for it again. Not sure how or if that works with separate itunes accounts.
Hope that helps!

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

You can't, well not easily anyway. The iPad is not meant as a multi account device.
You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days.

Can I have two iTunes account on one iPad?

can I have two different iTunes account on one iPad

No, not at the same time. You can use two different Apple ID/iTunes accounts on one iPad, but it is not advisable since you can lock yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days if you download previously purchased content using the second ID.

Two iTunes accounts on one iPad?

Hi. My husband and I have itunes accounts on two separate laptops. However the laptops are now old and both don't work anymore. I can access my itunes from my ipad. Can we have both iTunes accounts on one iPad without merging the accounts? Thank you!

Yea, but here's your problem...... You have to go into settings, store, tap ID, sign out, then sign in with the other. You can download everything from other account. If you have to update an app that's with the opposite account, then you have to repeat that process. Since the apps are tied to that apple I'd, updating requires to sign in with that account. The iPad technically is a 1 user device, but it is possible. Just if you don't mind logging in to his once and a while to update.

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

I am thinking of purchasing and iPad 2. Me and my wife both have iPhones and separate iTunes accounts. Is it possible to access both of our iTunes accounts on one iPad?

I have been toying with the idea of purchasing an iPad 2. Me and my wife both have separate iTunes accounts as we both have iPhones. I just wondered if it's possible to log into more than one iTunes account on one iPad, or if not would we have to set up a joint iTunes account?

What you could do is have one of you with the main iTunes account and use home sharing to get access to your wife's iTunes music, etc. my wife and I do this, but we each have our own iPads.

Questions about syncing multiple MobileMe accounts on one iPad

You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPad and for syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes. (iPad User Guide p. 32)
Okay.
If you've done this already (created multiple MobileMe accounts on your iPad), can you please tell me how syncing two accounts to one device works in practice?
What prevents the merging of contacts and calendars between two MobileMe accounts and one instance of the Calendar and Contacts apps?
As a matter of functionality, and assuming there is a way to avoid merging this information, how does one access separate calendars and contacts from separate MobileMe accounts in the Calendar and Contact apps?
Thanks!

Multiple iTunes accounts on one iPad

I just today purchased an iPad2, and while we were in the Apple store, the gentleman helping us set up the iTunes account on the device, using my daughter's iTunes account information. Is there a way to have 2 iTunes account on a single iPad, as I have no need for the anemic vocal stylings of Taylor Swift? If not, is there a way to put my music into her library and then just have Mommy's stuff on its own playlist?
