Setting up kids iPad

How would you recommend setting my kids iPad.  Individual accounts? Their own apple I'd? Email?

How old are the kids? They have to be 13 to get an Apple ID. The iPad is a one user device as far as setup.

  • Set up kids ipad mini

    I have bought a mini for my son (age 6). 
    I want to set up ipad - how do I do this?  When I switch it on do I set up a new id for my son - or log in as me?
    How do I get my apps over onto his ipad from my phone- so I can delete them off mine?
    Thanks in advance

    If you want to share apps you need to use your Apple ID on his device. The apps are tied to the ID.
    YOu may want to explore Family Sharing. I've never used it and don't have the ability to explore it,but it may help with your situation.
    You may also want to look into settings, especially for the app store and in app purchases.  Since you may be using your Apple ID which would be tied to your credit card you'll want to control his access - namely keep him from accidentally purchasing content or apps.
    There's also some content controls in the restrictions that you may want to look into.

  • Set my two kids iPad mini up using my account details do all my apps like what's app about imaginable get transferred

    I Have set up my two kids iPads both using my details my daughter is on family sharing does my  what's app appear on their iPads

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

  • My kids' ipad apps appear on my phone even though we have different Apple ID's

    I've set up my kids' ipads with their own IDs to ensure that my texts don't apper on their devices (that can be awkward).  So I figured that all three devices would be independent.  But still, if they download an app, it still appears on my phone.  Since I seemed to have solved the confidentiality of texts issue,I'm just curious but; what gives?  Why would they still be linked?  Is it because I sync them all on the same Mac?  Or use the the same cc# to pay for content?  Or maybe because use the same alternate email for recovery purposes?  It's strange.  Just wondering. 
    iPhone 4 iOS 6.1
    iPad 2 (two of them) iOS 6.1
    MacBook (old one with white plastic case) OS 10.6.8

    Do they appear when they download the app or just when you connect the phone to your Mac ? If when you connect it then the next you do so select the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (if you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side on the Apps tab make sure that the 'automatically sync new apps' tickbox below the listobox of apps is unticked

  • Both my kids iPads are using my Apple ID if I give them both their own will they loose the existing apps they already have on their iPads?

    Apps on a device are forever associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase or download them. If the Apple ID on a device is changed the apps acquired with the original Apple ID will require that original Apple ID and password to be updated.
    My suggestion would be to erase your kids' iPads and set them up new, each with their own Apple ID. Then turn on Family Sharing with you as the Organizer. This will allow any of the Family members to share apps as long a those apps allow Family Sharing. Turn on Family Sharing in the Settings app.

  • How do i set up and ipad for my children using my Itunes account without synching my data from my Iphone? (contacts, calendar, etc

    I do not want or need my contacts and calendar on their ipad, but I would like to use my Itunes account...

    It's easy enough to do. You can share one Apple ID and have your own content on each iPad. You do not have to have the same apps, music, books and so on. Set up the iPad with your Apple ID for purchases. If you want the kids to have their own iCloud accounts so that they can FaceTime and Message you can do that as well. However you do not have to setup additional Apple ID's in order to do that, it just makes it a little easier,
    Anyway, after you set up their iPad - when you go so to sync your devices, you can set your sync preferences for each device any way that you like. Using apps as an example ... This is how you can select the unique content for you own device. You can do this in every tab in iTunes .... Apps, music, photos, movies, books, etc.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps in the apps list that you want to sync to your iPad..
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    In the Info tab of iTunes, just don't sync your contacts or calendar to the kids iPad.
    This will be helpful.

  • I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish.  On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting.  How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server?  Thanks for the help.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking.  How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again. 

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

    Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Nightmare trying to set up several ipads on one apple id/card

    Hi
    I have 5 x ipads to set up I want to use 1 x Apple ID/email and credit card is this possible?? I have tried but only managed to get 2 not 1gb of data on one machine!! It would seem rather long winded to have to set up seperate email/apple accounts.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi
    I cant see a way of setting up multiple ipads without having to create multiple apple ID's and thus muliple mail accounts.
    I set up one ipad with no problem whatsoever, but when I tried to set up the 2nd unit using the same Apple ID and credit card my carrier simply duplicated the data on the initial ipad. It appears that I need a seperate apple account to set up each ipad. Sorry I does seem a bit strange, eventually each ipad will be used by individuals and thier own apple id's but i dont want them to use the companies Credit, see the problem or am I missing something, any help would be appreaciated:)

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.

  • Im having problems with my Kids facetime accounts that seem to be because they are both using my itunes and there are conflicts with multiple email addresses? Is it possible to now set the kids up with their own accounts without losing their apps etc

    Hi All,
    I have my kids using iTunes via thier ipods etc through my own account and this hase been the case for some time?
    This has started to cause issues lately with imessaging and facetime, as there seems to be a limit on email addresses that can be associated with one account?
    I wonder if I would be best off setting the kids up with their own accounts, but want to be able to do this without them losing their existing apps, music etc?
    Is this possible, if so is there a simple process cos I can seem to find anything relating to this?
    many thanks, Jim

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.
