New iPad REFUSES to acknowledge valid Apple ID?

I have a "fresh from the factory, just out of the box" iPad 2. I was trying to run the setup, and when it got to the part to sign in using my EXISTING Apple ID, the iPad refuses to acknowledge the VALID Apple ID. Ironically, I have to use this selfsame Apple ID in order to post this question. AND, I use this Apple ID in order to use my iPod. What is the fix for this?

Hi,
I've come here looking for answers to exactly the same question, although using a brand new ipad3.
I'm unable to log into itunes or app store using my apple id which I created earlier this evening, although I can log onto the apple website to maintain my id and also to get onto this forum.
I've just emailed support for an answer, hopefully they will give stops to resolve the issue, or someone in the know will already know the answer on here.

HT4623 My iPad refuses to acknowledge any updates beyond 5.1.1! I cannot update it no matter what I try. HELP!

During a recent "***?!" situation, and the resultant complete restore to factory default, my husband's iPad will not update!
Fast forward a few weeks when we get our new iMac and though we were instructed to make different users to allow each of us to use our different devices, we still cannot update his. While my iPad2 updates flawlessly, my husband's refuses to acknowledge there is even an update past the 5.1.1! He's frustrated as you all likely know, apps are beginning to require that the pad is updated as well. I'm feeling some guilt here because mine is working.
Please...help me alleviate my guilt!!

What model iPad does he have ? If it's a first gen iPad then 5.1.1 is the highest version that it supports

Just got 4 new iPads, Do I need separate Apple IDs for each one?

Right now I have 3 iPods and 2 iPhones connected to my PC using 1 Apple ID.
Question: I just purchased 4 new iPads. One of the iPads is for me and the 3 others are for my children. Should I setup the 4 new iPads under my existing Apple ID or should set up a new Apple ID for EACH of the new iPads?

It would be a good idea to set up separate apple ID's for each. One reason is just to avoid any confusion over anything such as icloud synchronisation. Spending on your credit card so maybe purchase gift cards for their accounts so they have some money to spend on apps. It could cause a few problems mainly due to icloud, photos syncing, password synchonisation and it only takes a few minutes to set up an account. If you don't want to put a credit card on their accounts you can set it up without an account but i'd suggest using a computer to set it up as in my experience i couldnt set up an account without a card on an iphone or ipad etc.
you could put your card on their ipads and enforce a restriction on buying apps where you would need to enter a code to authorise it.
Hope it helps

My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

New iPad. I have 2 apple id's.iCloud doesn't sync one device with one id and ipad with another id. How can I reconcile?

Just bought new iPad. Previously had iPod with one id. Bought an iPhone and used another id. Then bought an iPad and used the old iTunes id, not the new iPhone id, which had much on it. We want all the stuff on iPhone (user id 2) on iPad (user id 1). How do we reconcile?

No.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
All content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.

My new iPad can not connected to apple tv, it always asksAirPlay ID

My ipad refuses to recognise my Apple ID but my phone does. They are both the same so why?

For some reason my iPad has decided that my Apple ID and/or password is incorrect. My iPhone however is fine, although for some reason this won't now let me join a wireless network it previously recognised, in fact I can't join any network on my iPhone but I'm fine with the iPad.
My dilema is I need to upgrade some Apps on the iPad and now I can't.
Anybody got any suggestions?

You would need an IMAP email account in order to do that.

There is a dust under my iPad's screen. I just bought it this afternoon. I want to know that whether apple can replace it for me or not. Thank you. By the way, I am in Hong Kong and I bought it in Hong Kong.

HT204266 I have apps purchased on an old ipad can I use them on my new ipad air with a new apple ID

I purchased a new ipad air for my wife for chirstmas.
She owns a second generation ipad
If I setup the new ipad air with a different apple ID can the old apps be installed on the new IPAD without repurchasing the apps?
sounds confusing but my real question is
If I set up the ipad using the original user and reinstall the apps can I change apple id's and still use the installed apps?

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.

I've got a new iPad and need to set up my apple and icloud account. I seem to have a problem when feeling in the Accounts part where it I need to to fill in the details of my residence. I live in Zambia and among the countries listed , Zambia is not

I recently bought a new iPad. When setting up Apple Account,the accounts details where I need to provide details of payment ,I have a challenge with info. Needed as ZIP,ADDRESS,PHONE NUMBER. This is so because my country Zambia is not among the many listed. Kindly advise

If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

Will I be able to trade in my boxed, unopened ipad 2 with a new ipad (3) in an Apple store in the UK?

I have just been delivered a boxed, brand new ipad 2 today. Will apple allow me to trade in for the new ipad?

If "new in box", the biggest hassle would likely be reshipping back if it was shipped. Stores may or may not accept a shipped unit simply due to silly accountant's rules.

HT201269 Old apple id on new iPad?

Restored a new iPad from my old iPad! Some apps on the new iPad ask for an old apple I'd? I used my new I'd when I set up the new iPad.

Anything you purchased with the older AppleID is forever tied to that specific AppleID. Just log out of the iTunes or App store with the new AppleID and log in with the older one. You can still keep the new AppleID for iCloud and iMessage if those are already set up - just use the old one for your purchased content.

HT5622 New Ipad setup has not asked for a password just an Apple ID says ID is already being used reset forgotten passsword. But hasn't asked for a password?

Setting up new Ipad and it asked for Apple ID but no password. Next screen says ID is being used. Reset password? Why? How do I go on with setup?

You do not have to enter an Apple ID in order to set up an iPad. You can do that after the device has been activated. Can you back out of the setting and remove the Apple ID then move forward and deal with it after the iPad is activated?
