Trouble loading multiple iPads with one iTunes account

I am trying to load the same exact information from ONE iTunes account to multiple iPads (4-6). I was able to sync the app and information I needed to ONE but when I try plugging any of the other iPads into my computer NOTHING happens. The computer doesn't recognize that I have plugged in the iPad nor does the iPad recognize it is plugged into the computer. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to use the same Apple ID for all of them. One has been synced and I am logged into the same Apple ID but the other 2 have been reset so they are like "new" iPads but my computer won't detect them.

  • Multiple ipads on one iTunes account

    If a classroom has multiple ipads synced to 1 account (say 20) does that mean they only need to purchase 1 copy of a IBA textbook to have it on all 20 ipads?

    Create differnt computer login for your bf. You caneach use the same iTunes library but sync different data (including different contacts, calendar, music, movies, etc.)
    Move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to Users/Public/Music/
    Hold Shift, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select /Users/Public/Music/iTunes/ folder.
    Now quit iTunes.
    Create a new computer login for your bf and log into this user.
    Add his calendars, contacts, etc. to this login.
    This will keep all your contacts, calendars and other data separate.
    Now hold Shift, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select /Users/Public/Music/iTunes/ folder.
    Select the iPhone/iPad and click the tabs across top to select what to sync to his devices.

  • Multiple devices with one iTunes account

    Want to use my Desk Mac as the repository of ALL iTunes items.
    Have a MacBook Pro & MacBook Air (to use on the go).
    Everything is fully backed-up.
    When I try to clean up my MacBooks and I delete an iTunes movie from them, will it be removed forever from my iTunes account and disappear from the Desk Mac?

    Your iTunes collection is individual to computer, not in the cloud somewhere and synchronizing to your computer from there.  In other words, if you delete a file on one computer it will still be on the others until you delete it from there.  Likewise, if it is on one computer that is not a guarantee it will be on other computers. The closest to this is some of the automated downloading Apple does if you buy things from them.   You will just need to make sure your desktop is really up to date before wiping your media from the other computers.

  • Can I sync more than one iPad with one iTunes account?

    I lost my iPad and bought another and when I sync it erased all my apps and movies from my iPad

    I am confused by your statement. You said you lost your iPad and bought another. They you said when you synced it erased all you apps and movies from your iPad. If you lost your iPad all the info is gone too. Did the new Ipad have apps and movies on it that were obtained on a different syncing computer?
    If you had a backup of your original iPad and bought a new one when you connected your new iPad to the computer used to sync the original iPad iTunes should have given you the option to restore to the new iPad the backup of the original iPad.
    If an iPad is synced to one computer and you they sync it to another computer you will get a message that says if you continue the contents of the iPad will be erased and replaced with those of the new syncing computer.

  • How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

    We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id).  I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices.  Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime.  The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
    Please Help...
    I appreciate the help and support.

    P and V-
    If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
    The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID.  Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy".  That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
    On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping.  If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
    From the Home screen, double click your Home button.  You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  You will then see a red minus sign on each.  Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background.  (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

  • I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • Can you have two iPads on one iTunes account?

    Can i add two iPads to one iTunes account and then move one to another iTunes account at a later date?

    I sync three different iDevices with one iTunes account/iTunes library on my Mac. You can select the exact content that you want to sync to each device by customizing the sync settings for each device.
    If you want to sync the iPad with another iTunes account or iTunes library at a later date - you will lose all of the content on the iPad from the old iTunes account. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time and if you consider the iTunes account to be what is in your iTunes library - meaning content that you bought with one particular Apple ID - then you can only sync one account at a time as stated.
    Perhaps if you defined or explained exactly what you mean by iTunes account, this could be clarified a little more.
