Two iPads one my sons should I have different accounts

I have ipad and purchased ipad air for Xmas for my son.I used my user Id email address for his as he had no Visa card seems when he downloads app it comes on to mine and not on his or does not respond

if he is under 13, technically he is not allowed to have an iTunes account. Anyway, you can create a new apple id for him with no payment method on file: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

I want to use Icloud on my iphone, ipad, desktop and labtop, but 2 have different account names- can I merge my apple ids or find a way to connect them all?

Hello Hello-
I want to connect all of my computers together but over the years I must have created 2 accounts. Is there a way to merge accounts or sign in in all of them the under the same account.

If by "merge accounts" you mean merge iTunes accounts (using your Apple ID), then the answer is no. If you bought songs, apps, etc. using both accounts over time, then your are stuck. You need to choose one account for your iTunes.

HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same. If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs. If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data. Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

Two ipads- one account or two?

We have an iPad2, and I just got an ipad3 for me. Should we have separate accounts? I don't want his apps on mine, and he doesnt mine on his. Will one of us lose all the apps we paid for if we separate the accounts?

You will not lose the apps on the iPad that the apps were downloaded onto - in other words - whoever's Apple ID was used to purchase those apps will always be able to download those apps again for free.
If you set up a separate account for the other iPad - you will have to buy those apps again.
Like Ford Yuki - I have several iDevices - five actually - all using the same Apple ID and iTunes library - you don't even need separate libraries at all - and all 5 iDevices have their own unique content on them - and yet we can share the same apps on all 5 since we are using just one Apple ID.

Share calendar on two Ipads (one Imac with two users)

Hi community,
I'm looking for some help and where to look for if not here. Let me quickly describe my setup at home and what I try to achieve.
My partner and I have both their own iPad and iPhone. There is one iMac where we live. We are using it together but each of us has it's own user account on it and therefore it's own Itunes library. Both of us are using the iCal calendar on the iMac which we sync with our iPad and iPhone.
So there is one iMac with two users on it. Each user syncs his iCal with his iPad and his iPhone. What we would like to achieve though is that we can cross-share our iCal calendar. So that my partner can see my calendar items on her iPad and iPhone and vice versa.
We do not have a google mail (calendar) account nor are we using iCloud.
Every help is very much appreciated.

Dear Dah,
I now have two iPads, which I also (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's, but I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
Thanks!

Two ipads/One Apple ID - don't want second to see first books and emails. Suggestions?

Two ipads/One Apple ID - don't want second to see first books and emails. Suggestions?

If you don't want them to have access to the same books and other purchased media, they would need to be signed into a different Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store. If you don't want them to see the same iCloud email, they would need to be signed into different iCloud accounts with different IDs, or have Mail turned off on one of them in Settings>iCloud. If you want to migrate one of them to a different iCloud account to accomplish this, reply back and I'll explain how to do this.

Two ipads one itunes account

Old story, heard many times before I'm sure...two ipads, one itunes account. How do I set it up so one ipad is not always syncing the other's data etc?

You select the exact content that you want to sync to each device. You can use one iTunes account with 6 iPads. You just have to set your sync preferences the way that you want them to be set for each device.
Using apps as the example....
Sync with iTunes.
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 that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You do the same thing in every tab in iTunes. Select the content that you want to sync to that particular iPad and iTunes will remember the configuration the next time that you sync.

Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

I want to buy my 2 children a iPad each, will they be able to share apps, music etc if they both have different accounts?

Only if you have one iTunes account on one computer and then they sync their iPad to that same computer. Make sure that each iPad is named different. And then each can share the same apps or not share as they wish.

Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address. This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address. This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I have two iPads about a year old and have 5 full folders of web links that I would like to copy from one to the other. Both have iCloud but not the same account. Is there an easy way to grab those folders or the icons and email?

I have two iPad 2 with separate iCloud accounts. I want to copy folders of weblinks from one iPad to the other. Email solution? Answer needs to be written for a user who doesn't know how to select a folder or a number of icons and email or copy them to something that can be emailed. I know how to do it one at a time by opening weblink and then emailing the link from safari.

Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked.

I have two iPads, one for my child and mine. They both use the same user Id so I can control purchases. How do I stop the App Store content going to both iPads?

I have two iPads under the one user ID. Mine and my 4 year olds. When making purchases for the App Store, the purchase goes to both IPads. How do I stop content going to both?
Any help would be great.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to disable Automatic Downloads on the iPad where you don't want to get the purchases. Open Settings > iTunes & App Stores, and disable Automatic Downloads for Apps, Music and/or Books. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539
