Please help!! I have iPhone 4 so does my wife, we each have our own apple id's for these devices. We have just got an ipad to share for at home use. Is there a way to have both our id's on the ipad to share our music photos etc?

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Is there a way to select all emails at once on the iPad and then delete them at one time?

Tap on the edit button at the top right of the email list. This will let you select the emails to delete, once all are selected, tap on the bottom right button that says delete to delete them all at once.

I am brand new to the Ipad. I can't use ICloud unless I upgrade my 10.5 Leopard. Is there a way to sync documents created in Pages to the IPad without using ICloud?

Hello. I am a newbie to the Ipad. I am currently working with an OS 10.5 Leopard MAC. I understand that in order to use ICloud I would need to purchase OSX Snow Leopard and OSX Lion. I am attempting to avoid the expense and to the extent possible sync my IPad with my MAC. I have created documents on my MAC in pages. Is there a way to have access to those documents on the IPad without using ICloud.
A second question concerns web browsing, sometimes you'll open up a page or image and not know how to go back to the previous page. So do I just close and reopen safari altogether or is there another way to get to the previous page.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Actually you can use iCloud with the Mac running OS X 10.5.8. You don't sync the documents - you upload to or download them from iCloud.
You can open a browser on your Mac - Safari is preferred - log into icloud.com, enter your username and password, click on the iWorks icon, click on the Pages section at the top - and then you can drag documents into the browser window to upload files - and you can select a file in the cloud to download to the Mac. I do this on my iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11. It's kind of slow - and you will get a warning that you may be using a supported browser - but it works.
In any event, you can use iOS file sharing to send the Pages docs to your iPad. you have to connect to the Mac and do this via iTunes.
iWork for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
Just tap the arrows in the toolbar in Safari to go back and forth. You can open multiple pages using tabs. tap on the + sign to add another tab in Safari.

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

HT4095 Is there a way to select download of sd only on the iPad itself (when downloading via wifi from cloud)? I recall doing this before but with iOs 6 I cannot figure how to do it.

?

Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

I know this is a common question - but is there a way to connect a USB pen drive to the iPad? (See details)

Basically, I just bought a Nexus 7 after growing impatient waiting for the iPad mini. But the Nexus has a fault, and I'm taking it back next week. I'm wondering whether to get my money back, or just get another - because it's a pretty good device!
My major big thing about it, is that I can plug a USB pen drive into it with a OTG cable and either just stream pictures, documents or movies - or save them to the Nexus for viewing without a dangly wire to annoy me. It's great! However, being an Apple fan - an iPad mini (if it comes out!) would be simpler, because it would sync to iCloud etc. whereas obviously my Nexus 7 doesn't do this at all. The only iCloud factor I can access is my mail. Which isn't a problem, just a prefference.
So, with current iPads - is there a way, without jailbraking the device, to say stream movies to the device through a USB pen drive/external HDD, and save them to the iPad?
I've seen ways on YouTube but thought it was best to ask here.
If this was possible, I'd swap the Nexus for the iPad mini straight away - the Nexus 7 is fantastic! No problem with it, if it wasn't for iCloud, I'd keep that.
Oh, and as a closing question on the iPad mini/Apple Maps - the Nexus 7 lets you download offline maps, and also you have a GPS which is used even when not on wifi - do you think this will be likely on an iPad mini? I can't see it myself.
It's a sad day for me, when I start to think Google may still have the upperhand on 7" tablets, even after the iPad mini is released. I might even wait for the Second generation (if it exists!) - just because I for some reason never like first generation things from Apple.
But anyway, that's a lot of questions and info!
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to preview an illustrator (.ai) file on the ipad

I know natively the ipad can't, but are there apps that can do that?
Have been searching on google, but can't seem to find an answer
thanks!
andrew

I don't think so.
I know adobe has some app versions of their programs, but I thought it was just photoshop.
I think you can export PDF from illustrator. You could do that to preview the file.

Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to the iPad 2?

I have a lot of music and movies stored on an external hard drive and want to know if there is a way to get it onto my iPad?

Connect the drive to your computer, add them to ITunes and sync to the iPad.
If you do not want them to copy to your internal drive, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Uncheck Copy to ITunes media folder when adding to library.

I want to take an iPad 3 on a long trip. Is there any way to back up while I'm on the road?

I want to take an iPad 3 on a 2-month trip. Is there any way to back up while I'm away from my home computer?

Your own movies are backed up in the camera roll wich is backed up to iCloud. You should be able to restore the movies if something were to happen to them if you use iCloud for your backups. You would have to purchase more storage from iCloud, but the videos will be backed up
You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones

The "save image" does not transfer the photo from facebook to ipad album. Is there another way to save a picture from facebook to the iPad album?

I cannot transfer or copy pictures from Facebook to my iPad album. I tap the photo and it says save image but does not show up in my album.

Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos. See if you need to allow Facebook access to the photos app. Also look at the Facebook setting under Twitter and see if there is a setting in there that you need to enable. Finally go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Facebook and make sure that it hasn't been disabled in there.

Is There a Way to Have Multiple Address Books?

I would like to have 2 separate address books -- one for personal addresses, and another for business. Other than setting up a separate log-in account on my Mac, is there a way to have 2 separate address books? That way, when I look at all the entries, I wouldn't have to scroll through as many.

Michael Superczynski wrote:
A group for work contacts is a perfectly viable solution.
It might have been a viable solution if only the groups in Address Book were hierarchical, i.e if one could have e.g 50 groups in a Work "master" group, and 50 other groups in another Private "master" group, etcetera.
I currently find it difficult to deal with Address Book simply because I need and want to have many groups, many of them representing a list of people I have sent a group mail to, others representing other form of groups.

Lost ipad trying to locate but its disabled is there a way to find it?

Lost ipad trying to locate but its disabled is there a way to find it?

In regards to the Find My iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad feature if activated and enabled on your iPad, if you didn't have the Passcode lock feature enabled, someone can turn the Find My iPad feature off.
If the iPad is not connected to the internet via wi-fi or via the cellular network if a 3G iPad, the feature won't work.
If the iPad is powered off or has been restored with iTunes as a new iPad, the feature can't work.
There is no other way to find it electronically.

Is there any way to transfer from my itouch directly to my ipad?

Just received my new ipad2. Is there any way I can transfer from my itouch to the ipad without having to go through my pc?

You can't transfer directly between an iPad and an iPod because Apple didn't include that functionality. Although it's possible to use an iPad without hooking it up to a computer after the initial set up, it's not recommended, especially by Apple. Without a computer, you have no way to back up your device and no way to update the system software. If you chose to use your iPad in a way Apple didn't intend, you're going to experience some limitations.
Best of luck.
