Multiple devices on a single Apple ID - is VPP required?

Hello,
I work in a school that is buying iPads, we currently have 10 which I setup using the apple configurator.
At the moment these iPads are all set up with the same Apple ID (the school one) My main question is will I need to enroll in the volume purchase program in order to use paid apps? and if so does that mean that I will need to create a new Apple ID for every iPad?
These devices belong to the school and will be shared out from a cabinet so it is not acceptable to let an end user configure the device with their own Apple ID.
Thanks.

The Apple Configurator tool robbed my school of @ 60×4 apps.
Here's my mistake. I bought all the apps needed for the whole school in one lump sum. i.e. 350 copies of Pages. Then happily went to Configurator and loaded the spreadsheet. Installed on all the student iPads. Then need the remaining licenses to gift to the teachers and @ 30 for the cart. NOPE! Once they are loaded in to Configurator you can never get them back. Apple said, “sorry”.
I did this for the iWorks suite, iPhoto, & neu.Annotate before I realized what was happening.
This is what to do, in short. From the VPP account, buy the number needed for exactly what you need, just make sure, it's over 20, even if you only need 11, 20 copies is cheaper than 11 because they are half off at 20 or more. Get the spreadsheet generated by the VPP site for the 20 then buy for the next cart or site, it will generate a new spreadsheet of 20 you can give to the computer and its copy of Configurator.

Ios5 iMessage on multiple devices with a single apple id

I have 2 iphones and a ipad, how do i message individual devices, at the moment any message i said shows on all three devices, very confused here. Any help appreciated.

After more testing it seems I can only send and receive iMessages on the 4S to phone numbers, not email addresses.
I tried to send an iMessage to my listed email address from the 4S but nothing has come thru yet.

Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account

How do you take off reseiving messages on multiple devices using the same apple account?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive on all but one device and add a unique email address on each device and delete the commone Apple ID email device
If there is also an iPhone with iOS 6 associated with the Apple ID, uncheck the phone number on all but the phone.

How to generate multiple idoc's from single appl document

All,
Iam looking for a way to generate multiple idoc's from single appl document (sales order). Based on the plant details on line items in the sales order i have to generate multiple idocs, i.e., send one idoc to each plant entered in sales order line items. any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a Z-program and call Function Module <b>MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE</b>.
You can make a call to this FM to send the Idoc as many times as u have plants in your Sales Order.
You can call FM <b>IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP</b> to fill the IDoc structure.
Then u can keep the materials of only that plant for which u want to pass on the information.
Thanks,

Perhaps novice Q: multiple devices/accounts, versus single Mac

My family members have multiple ipads, iphones etc, and separate itunes accounts. we are in process of consolidating PCs/Macs etc, such that we may only have one main household Mac. Can one Mac support syncing/updates etc across mulipe devices & accounts, whilst keeping accounts & libraries independant?
i have tried and failed miserably. i suspect i am missing something obvious any advice?

Well it seems like the first thing you should do is consolidate your iTunes libraries so that you don't have 4 copies of everything, one for each user logged in to your Mac Mini. How you do that is consolidate all 4 iTunes folders to one folder located in the /Users/Shared/ folder and update each of your iTunes to point to that folder accordingly. That way you have one iTunes library, only one copy of your media, but accessible from multiple users.
One caveat is that if somebody is logged on and has iTunes open, you can't fast switch to another user and open iTunes. Apple made it so that only one user and one instance of iTunes can open a iTunes library at a time.
For your iTunes match situation, it does sound like you would be much better off sharing a single Apple ID with one iTunes Match. For consolidating, make sure you have everything everybody has shared via Home Sharing to the main account you'd like to move over to, and then simply go to each device Settings, Store, and the sign out of the original Apple ID and logon using the shared main Apple ID. I just looked at it and the automatic downloading is already live in iOS! You can specify if you want to do music, apps, and books separately in case you may want to automatically download music but not apps or books.

Multiple devices using the one Apple ID

Hi
We have multiple devices (2 x iPhone and 2 x iPod Touch) that use the one Apple ID for our family. As we all have separate email accounts, calendars and contacts, do we need to create individual Apple ID for iCloud syncing and iTunes purchases or is it possible to destinguish devices use the one ID?
Appreciate any guidance here, as not keen on setting up new Apple ID's for young children.
Thanks

Sorry, just want to chime in and say that we have this issue too. We have only three devices, Mac, PC, and iPod touch. But we have two each of separate email accounts, address books, and calendars. We decided several years ago to use one Apple ID for iTunes only on one computer and the iPod. But how will several adults in a family share an Apple ID and iTunes login, but enable separate email, contacts, and calendars in iCloud? We really want this to work.
Thanks very much!
OH, wait - it looks like it is answered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3102518
The answer is a little bit hard to understand, so I will keep reading. We did not have Mobile me addresses, so I guess we will create two new ones.
I'll post more threads if I find them.

Best practice for setting up iCloud with multiple devices using a single AppleID

Hi there
Me and my wife have an iPhone each, and are looking at getting both of us using iCloud. The problem is that we only use one Apple ID for our music library.
Is getting a separate Apple ID necessary for each device on iCloud, or can multiple devices have seperate settings/photos/music, etc.?

Using different Apple ID for iCloud is not necessary, but in most cases it is recommended.
You can however choose to use separate Apple IDs for iCloud and continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share all your purchases of music, apps and books.

HT204053 If I've signed up multiple devices on the same apple ID how can i change them into different individual ID's?

Hello, I have multiple devices that i've used the same apple ID for. I was curious to know if I can change each of them into something different?

You can migrate a device to a new account with a new ID. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

Multiple devices on the same Apple ID.

I just bought my wife an iPad Mini. I would like to be able to keep the two iPads from talking to each other (iCloud). Do I need to establish another Apple ID for her iPad?
I still want her to be able to link to iTunes, where we both have our music.
What is the best way to do this?

Keep your existing AppleID for the iTunes Store and AppStore on both devices, and then setup a new AppleID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime just for your wife's iPad so those services remain independent.
