Setting up a gift iPad for a different country

Hi,
Here's what I am trying to do.
I live in US and my sister lives in India. I am going to visit her soon. I bought an iPad 2 for her as a gift.
I would like to do the initial setup of the iPad when I am in US before I go to India and load the iPad with a bunch of games, apps etc...so she can start having fun with it right away without having to do all the set up and look for apps in the app store.
So I am thinking of creating a new gmail account just for use with iTunes store [without a credit card by selecting the 'none' payment option] which both of us will have access to. Then select USA as the country [as I will be in US when setting it up] when I turn on the iPad first time and go through the set up. Then I will use the newly created Apple ID with the new email address to download a bunch of apps.
My question is, after I give it to her in India, will she have to somehow change the country to India in the Apple ID account setting or can she continue to use the US account? Will there be any issues with this kind of setup long term or should I change the country on the account to India?
In case if we change the country to India in the Apple account, will all the apps I installed in US continue to work on the iPad [from other discussions I see that they may not appear in the 'purchased' list]
Thanks for any input

- To purchase apps in the Inea store the account (e.g., address) has to be associated with India. For paid apps, the payment medthod also must be associated with India. Gift cards can only be usd in the Country's store in whihc it was purchased A gift card purchased in the USA can't be used in the India store.
- You can oly purchase items i the country's store where you are physically located
- Unless the app is lock to the USA, it can be used in other countries.  Some like Pandora are lock. If the an app purchased in the USA in not available in the India store, she can't update the app in India.

  • How to purchase gift card for a different country location?

    I am travelling.  My US bank account was closed so I have no current USA credit or debit card.  I need to purchase US iTunes store products.  How can I gift myself an iTunes gift card?

    Buy a gift card from store and put it in. Or create a new Apple ID with no payment method. But don't use the iTunes sign up to do it. Use the icloud Apple ID creator then you don't have to put in a credit card!!

  • Gift iPad for someone without a computer

    I just bought an iPad for my brother, who does not have a computer. So, I set up the iPad via my MacBook Pro. (I had no idea until I opened the box that an iPad can't set itself up!). It's working, but the iPad is named "Mark's iPad" (me) rather than "Ed's iPad" (him). There's also an issue with iTunes on his iPad - iTunes thinks it's my iPad and I'm having trouble changing its mind - when I enter his Apple ID into iTunes, it says ot allready exits. Well yea, I just created it a few minutes earlier trying to make the iPad his rather than mine.
    Anyone else have this problem and know what to do? This can't be the 1st iPad purchased for someone without a computer!
    Thanks!

    Thanks. I hadn't considered that route. Seems very do-able. Will let you know if it works. Would have to repopulate the iPad's music and apps, but that goes pretty quickly.

  • Same Apple ID for two different country accounts?

    Is it possible to use just one Apple ID for two different iTunes accounts? I've recently located to Australia from the uk and want to run an iTunes Store account in each but with just one apple id and email address. Can it be done?

    You have to be in a country to use its store (and an account can only have one billing address on it), so whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, you cannot use the UK store (including redownloading past purchases). You can either update your billing address on your existing account to have your Australian address on it, or create a new account with your Australian billing address on it

  • Setting up an iPad for a different user?  Preloading with documents, photos, and more...

    We plan to gift an iPad to a customer, but we would like to load it up with company photos, presentation materials, documents, and apps before passing it off to them.  Is there anyway to do this without everything being erased when they connect it to their iTunes? 
    Thanks

    No. You could put on apps, but the new user won't be able to update them or back them up to his/her iTunes account.

  • Help with setting up my old ipad for my kid

    Apologize if this has been discussed.  I have an old iPad 1 with just Wifi, and I have just picked up the iPad 3 with Verizon.  I currently have all of my apps on my ipad, and also a bunch of "kiddie" apps for my daughter.  How can I reset my old ipad and set it up for my daughter?

    To Reset All Settings: This will reset all

  • Is it possible to gift an ipad in a different country?

    Im living in the Netherlands and wanted to gift an ipad to someone in Australia. I tried buying one, but it only allows me to insert a billing address of US or Australia. Can I just put the billing address of the receiver and still pay with my european credit card?
    Hope someone can help. Thanks!

    No.
    Note: When purchasing an iTunes Gift, a valid credit card must be on file; you cannot purchase an iTunes Gift with store credit. Purchased gifts cannot be redeemed outside of the country of purchase. For example, an iTunes Gift purchased in France cannot be redeemed on an iTunes Store outside of France.

  • How do I set up my old ipad for my daughter and get my new ipad up and running?

    I want to remove me from an older ipad and set it up for my daughter and then set up my new one.

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    You can share your books, music and apps with your daughter using the purchasing Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > purchasing Apple ID here.
    Get another Apple ID using a valid e-mail address for her so that she can use the other Apple services e.g. Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime etc.
