Personal iPad for corporate purposes

Our company specializes in passenger transportation and we are planning to start using personal IPAD tablet PC s for corporate purposes.
Please consult us on following question:
1.       Is it possible to use and administrate personal IPADs in corporate purposes?
2.       Is it possible to use these IPADs in multi-user mode?
3.       Are the services in previous two question be available with IOS 8.0?

We manage 1300 BYOD iOS devices via our MDM, AirWatch. You can push various profiles and settings to the devices. As I understand it a basic MDM is contained with Lion Server; you can take a look at that to get some ideas about how it works. You need to have buy-in from your users, when you enroll their devices in an MDM you grant control over the device to the MDM. We require MDM enrollment for users to access Enterprise email,contacts,calendar and tasks on their personal iOS devices.
The MDM can also enforce encryption on the device without the necessity of associating it with a particular email account. As RCharles said, multiple individuals can use the device, sequentially, and as long as they perform the same tasks, they can all use the same apps. An example in a healthcare environment might be a phlebotomist using an iPod to scan bar codes on patient blood samples. At the end of one shift, the phlebotomist would pass the device to his or her successor. AirWatch also has a device check in and check out feature. Say nurses and physicians want to use the same device. The device could be checked out with a nurses profile, when the nurse had completed the necessary tasks it could be checked back in. The physician would then check out the device, the physician profile would be applied, and the physician would perform the required tasks with a different set of apps, or different access, then check the device back in.

Use a remote iPad for development purposes?

I want to allow my partner's iPad to test my apps. No problem, of course if the iPad is within connecting distance to XCode. However, the iPad is at a remote location, and my partner doesn't use a Mac.
How can I authorise the device and transfer my apps to it for testing?

Is The Thunderbolt display able to connect to an IPad for display purposes?

I am considering buying a Thunderbolt display, however I'm wondering if an IPad vs a Mac Book can be utilized?
Tom

Since the iPad has no ThunderBolt port, here is no way to use it with a ThunderBolt display to an iPad
If you get one of the newer models of MacBook that have a ThunderBolt port that will work

How can I set up iPad for use as a customer sales tool?

I want to use my new iPad for personal and business. For my business I want to hand to a customer as a self-driven presentation on my business created In Keynote or some similar program. But I'd like to lock all personal content so the customer can only explore my business content and not access personal contacts, music, etc. Can this be done? Recommendations on apps and set-up are appreciated.

Can't be done. All the customer has to do is press the home button and they're able to access all your apps.
You either need different iPads for different purposes, or mount it in a display cabinet that blocks the home button.

I am an English teacher, and my school just bought iPads for my students and me. I want to use Dropbox for file sharing and to be able to edit their work on my iPad so that my students will be able to open their work from Dropbox and see my corrections.

I would like my editing marks and comments to save in Dropbox in a contrasting color. The students will then need to be able to open the document and make corrections, then save again to Dropbox. Thanks for any ideas!

Thanks, everyone, for these helpful suggestions. Before we got the iPads last week, we were saving compositions from desktops onto the school server. There was not a problem with the students seeing other students' files, so I didn't password protect them, but there was the issue of copying all their work onto a thumb drive so I could grade it at home. I like accessing files in the cloud much better. Under the previous system, I was also printing out their work and marking it up for the students to correct before I put it on our class web site. Now under this new system, I would like to go paperless, sharing my digital revisions with the students as they perfect their work before I put the final products online. This usually takes 3 or more revisiosns. So far, I have tried the following apps: Quickoffice, Documents to Go, Writeup, Plaintext, Pages, Essay, and Droptext. The students and I have no trouble saving into and retrieving from Dropbox, but there is no good way so far for me to edit their work in color so that they can open up the file and see my comments in order to make their revisions. I do have this capability on my laptop and desktop by using the redlining feature in Word. It's just that I'd rather be able to use my iPad for this purpose. I will check out Evernote.

If i have a work ipad with a work email and a shared icloud for all employees, can i set up a second itunes and icloud account with a separate email address on the same ipad for my personal stuff?

i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

I updated my mac with os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
Sign into your iCloud account.
Tick everything.
This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Create a new iCloud account.
Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
BAM!
That is all you need to do.
Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
No need to use iTunes

HT204053 can i set up a seperate icloud for my ipad? My daughter bought my ipad, its wifi, not through a phone co. however im on her icloud and need my own i cloud for work purposes. I have my own apple id. How do i get off her i cloud and on my own?

My daughter bought my ipad 2. She manages all our apple devices on her computer. She purchased a i cloud package for her phones but it is showing on my ipad. I have my own apple ID now, and I download apps and songs from Itunes all the time on my own id. However her I cloud is on my ipad. I need my own I cloud for work purposes and when I try to change the apple ID in setting for her I cloud its grayed out... How can I have my own i cloud on my ipad. Originally when she bought the Ipad, she set it up on her ID, She used the ipad for awhile before she got a new one. I am using this one now. She can track my ipad if I loose it. It still shows as one of her devices. Can I get my own I cloud?

Yes of course. Jsut go to "Settings > iCloud" delete her account from your device and then start creating a new one just for you.

HT3819 I am a teacher. I have an iPhone and iPad for personal use. I also have an iPod and now an iPad for school use. Would it be best for me to use home sharing on all 4 devices, or should I split my account and have separate accounts for home & schoo

My first i device was an iPod touch that I was given for use in my classroom. Then I got an iPhone for personal use. Both items are listed under the same username and account. Since then I now have 2 iPads, one for home and one for work. I have many apps that are only for work like Math Zombie and Science Facts, and many that are for personal use, like Facebook and YouVersion. I know that I can synch each device and tell iTunes which apps go on which device. However at home I use a Mac, and my school computer is a PC. I am wondering if I should split my account and keep personal separate from work. Then I can synch all school related devices on the PC and home devices on the Mac. I realize that there maybe the rare occaision that I might want one app for both accounts. That's the chance I take on splitting my account. Are there ay benefits one way or the other?

Will you be the person paying for apps on both accounts?
Are you the only person that will use both of the iPads?
Is there a chance students will be using the work iPad and if so, do you want personal data stored on it?
If you're the only one using it I'd keep the same account just to have the flexibility of having access to everything on all devices. If your students will be using it or if the school is paying for the school apps I'd keep separate accounts. It all depends on how often you will use school apps from home, and home apps at school. Just some things to consider...

I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

I have five iPads, four for my classroom and one that is personal. How can I change my Apple ID on the personal iPad and still keep the apps? Thank you!

I have five ipad ii products. Four of them I use in my classroom and one is for personal use. How can I change my apple ID on my personal iPad and keep all of the apps (i.e. Kindle). I do not want it connected to my school iPads.

All app purchases are permanently tied to their Apple ID. You will have to delete and repurchase the apps with a new ID. I would recommend wiping that iPad and setting it up with another ID.

I have an ipad and an iphone. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone. I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

Please see above. I have both an ipad and and iphoen. For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne. However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone. So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad. Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

Best strategies for setting up iPad for elderly person?

I hope to eventually get an iPad 3 for an elderly parent and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about it.
Here is what I was thinking:
- get iPad.
- set up iPad using iTunes account that I create from a spare email address I have access to.
- get some iTunes cards via my own account and load it into the new account.
- install apps, fiddle with settings, set up iCloud, possibly load it with photos, etc.
- send iPad to them.
- change email address on the new account to reflect their actual email address.
- Is it correct in that no credit card would need to be entered by them at any point?
- I have tweaked iChat on their laptop to auto-answer incoming video chats. It sounds like there is no such setting on Facetime, right?   Is it still pretty easy to accept Facetime calls on the iPad (I've only used it via OS X).   From reading some past threads it sounds like there is no way to make a shortcut so that a specific contact could be called in one click (i.e. icon on dock), is that still the case? (a Siri on iPad would help with this)
- I currently do not do much photo sharing via Apple devices. What is the easiest/best way to have them be able to view a gallary of images that one or more people can add things to remotely? Do I have to turn to third-party apps to do this?
- Any other general recommendations on getting a iPad set up for someone (especially the elderly) who are physically far away (and thus who won't get hands-on training from the person setting it up, but from people who are iPad savvy)?
I envision them mainly using it for: video chat, solitaire, email reading (not heavy email composing), light web, photo taking/sharing, etc.
Thanks,

Hi Captino,
Please note I sent this earlier today to the thread you posted on yesterday.
If you haven't yet, in the box near the top right on your posts only, click on receive e-mail notifications. Then you won't have to search through to find any responses you might get from the threads you are participating in.
One of my big concerns is that Apple should advertise to seniors with or without many of the issues that often accompany aging. The ipad's target audience did not start out advertising to toddlers, but we know they're using them and they are included in the new iphone 5 for photos and itunes. So let's get the increasing elderly population involved.
First, you might want to contact Apple corp offices in Cupertino and see if someone will listen to your suggestions. (I have sent them the links below.) The more Apple is aware that there is a real need, they will hopefully increase focus and develop more to make the ipad usable for our elderly with needs, which varies from person to person.
I'd also like to suggest you start your own thread, posting in the title something like "How can an elderly person with dimentia benefit from ipad?" Then, copy the info you wrote in your post above here.
Here are some links that might interest you. The information is out there that many elderly people with needs can be helped by and are benefitting using an ipad. There are also links to support user forums.
