Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Problem connecting two ipads to wifi

I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I'm having trouble connecting two ipads or an iPad and iPhone to my home wifi. Ive found that if I have an iPad or iPhone connected to my wifi, then i cant connect a second iPad at all. I have to turn the wifi setting off on the connected device, then I have to completely turn off the device I'm trying to connect, turn it back on, then it will accept the wifi password & connect. Long of the short, my friend and I can't use our ipads at the same time on my wifi. Is there a setting I could change on my router to fix this problem?

Or u cn try chk hw many ip address ur router was set to allocate.
Another router setting u cn try is set to WEP shared instead of WEP Open. I not sure if this solve, i set to WEP Shared bcos previous my nintendo DS only work with with WEP shared.
My home network is able to connect with 2 ipad and 2 iphs all at the same time, sometime with an additional laptop. Meeting 5 devices.

How do I use iTunes on one computer to manage two iPads with different contents?

I just bought an iPad Air 2 and want to use it with iTunes on my MacBook Pro. No problem so far! However, I want to continue to use my "old" iPad 2 for my wife and want to keep managing it as I always have using iTunes on my MacBook Pro. The thing is that I want to make it possible for the two iPads to have quite different content to allow for the different needs and tastes of my wife and me. How should I go about this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Brett,
Thanks very much for the information.
I took a look at it but it seems to be aimed solely at "media" on an iPad, i.e. movies, music, TV shows etc. This is fine, but I also want to be able to deal with all the apps on each iPad too, so that when I connect each iPad to my MacBook through iTunes, the synching process works just like it always has for my first iPad (an IPad 2). I don't mean that I want all the apps on both iPads to be the same (my wife doesn't need all the apps that are on the iPad 2 at present), but I do want to be able to add/remove/update media and apps on each iPad, and update the iOS on each iPad.
Basically, I guess, I want a situation whereby when I plug in either of the iPads, iTunes recognizes each as a separate device and has a totally separate "library" (backup?) of music, movies, TV shows, etc. and — most importantly — apps. Is that possible?
Regards,
Chris

We have two Ipod Touches in the Home and two Ipads. Right now one of the Ipads has a separate user indentity. Can both Ipods be used to use the same library with different user ids's and different passwords.

We have two Ipod touches and two Ipads in our home. Right now both Ipods are using the same used id and password to access itunes and sync music. But recently both os us have downloaded the Ibooks segment to our Ipads and now the only way to sync the second Ipad for Ibooks is to use the same used id and password. But the problem is that with our two Ipads in the home, we established two separate used ids and passwords one for each. Is there a way for me to still use the second Ipod touch and the second Ipad with completely separate userids and passwords. In other words to share the music library I have accumulated and yet to sign in each with our separate identities. That way the Ipads can sync and the Ipod touches can sync. Is this possible.

This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

I have one IMac and two Ipod and two ipad for the hole familie. We had all people a separatly ITunes Account. The ITunes said this Imac is for 90 Days closed. Why ? we have only one Imac!

I have e big problem with my ITunes and my mobile devices. Two Ipod Touch and two IPad.
My son and my wive und myself have e seperatly ITunes Account. My Account ist with credit card my son and my wive only with Itunes cards.
All devices are protected by my Mac with other accounts in each case and are administered. Now the Imac has switched off the tone and said one cannot div. Accounts join! Nevertheless, this cannot be. This would be a complete nonsense! What can i do that all Devies woks?
Thanks for your help

Two iPads under one apple account at AppStore

Dear community !
Please advice is it possible to use two iPads under one Apple account in Apostore ? It's necessary for me to get the same apps for my iPad and for my wife's one.

you can do this with no problems. i have several 4 ipads/iphones all using the same apple account with no issues. in itunes you can choose which apps go to each ipad/iphone - by default all apps go to each, but you can turn this off and choose what you want. a bonus of using the same account is that if you do want the same app, you only have to buy it once.

Two IPAD 2s with same IMEI # - horrible customer support to resolve issue

A week ago my boyfriend discovered that Verizon had disconnected service to the iPAD 2 I gave him from his account 7 months ago but continued to charge him $11.21 per month for the phone line on a non-existent device. To date I have spoken with more Verizon employees I can count on two hands, been passed back and forth between customer care and the fraud prevention department repeatedly, had to recount this entire story each and every time as well as provide passwords, last 4 digits SS, IPAD IMEI number, phone numbers for the account, named and address for the account, original purchase receipt for the iPAD, and yet, a week later nothing has been resolved, service has not been restored, calls have not been returned as promised, and charges for a so-called "test phone" (that non-existent device) continue to accrue. I have no promised resolution date and there doesn't seem to be any urgency on Verizon's part to either apologize or fix the problem for us.
A year ago my boyfriend purchased a Verizon iPhone and added the IPAD 2 to is data share plan as a second device for $10/month. Apparently last July another Verizon customer walked into a store with an iPAD claiming they were having connectivity issues. Supposedly it was determined that the IMEI number on that individual's device matched the IMEI number for the iPAD 2 on my boyfriend's account. Without bothering to research the issue or contact my boyfriend, Verizon simply removed my boyfriend's iPAD 2 service, converted his data share plan second device to something simply identified in his account as a "Test Phone", and assigned his IMEI number to this other customer's account. My boyfriend isn't the most tech savvy person, so when his iPAD 2 quit accessing the internet he assumed it was something wrong with the iPAD, or a function of where he was at - he spends 5 months of the year in Alaska and coverage is often spotty at best. So he just tossed it aside opting to browse with his iPhone instead. Then last week he just happened to be reviewing his latest Verizon bill and where he expected to see the $10/month charge for the iPAD he saw an $11.21 charge to a phone number he didn't recognize. So he elected to go into a Verizon store to learn what that was about.
There at the Verizon Store the customer service rep informed him that he was "in possession of a stolen iPAD" . This brain trust of an employee went on to explain to my 65 year old boyfriend that since two devices could not possibly have the same IMEI number, and since the IMEI number on his device (which he took with him to the store) matched the IMEI number of the iPAD on another customer's account, the only logical conclusion was that he had somehow acquired this "stolen iPAD" illegally. At that point I was contacted to talk to this Verizon employee since I was the original purchaser of that iPAD. No matter that the customer that now had the iPAD IMEI number on their account acquired that IMEI number after my boyfriend originally registered his iPAD with Verizon. All of a sudden we are the bad guys that stole an iPAD. We were informed that we would have to produce an original receipt before they could discuss this with us further. In other words, guilty of steeling an iPAD until we can prove innocense. I guess the idea that we would register an iPAD, then sell it to another Verizon customer a couple months later, but continue to pay to have the device on our account, then steal the device back from this other customer, and then bring this stolen device into a Verizon store in an attempt to fraudulently register it back onto our account, just seemed like a more likely scenario to this employee. More likely than the one where another Verizon employee maybe fat-fingured the other guy's IMEI number into their system resulting in the system identifying a duplicate IMEI to the one we had already registered, thereby causing this other, highly trained and intelligent, Verizon rep to simply remove the IMEI number from our account and assign it to this other, obviously more honest appearing individual, without bothering to inform my other half his iPAD was no longer going to be registered, and that he would continue to be billed monthly for the service he no longer had. Yeah, right.
I could only think of one other possible scenario, that two iPADs could have the same identical IMEI number. After spending hours on hold,recounting this story to numerous Verizon customer service and fraud reps to no avail, and becoming exceedingly frustrated with the fact that you can never get a direct line to a specific rep you've already worked with and can never speak to the same rep more than once, I decided to contact Apple about the likelihood of this possibility. In spite of having an iPAD that was no longer on any sort of technical service warranty, Apple tech rep answered the phone with less than a 2 minute wait. Listened intently to my story, and expressed complete and utter shock at how I had been treated by Verizon thus far. He stated emphatically that two devices will not have the same, unique IMEI number. Further, he was able to verify that the iPAD I purchased and registered with Apple matched the IMEI number we registered with Verizon in February 2013 and the same IMEI number of the device my boyfriend presented in the store a week ago and that according to their records, the device has always been registered to me and only me. He then called Verizon on my behalf and spoke to the Verizon Customer Care rep - of course, another different one, and vouched for me as the original and only known owner to Apple of that iPAD. He then connected me with that Verizon rep. Ten minutes later with the Apple tech rep off the call, the Verizon CC rep actually told me the Apple tech did not vouch for me during his conversation with her. She did admit he called her, but did not seem to understand why he called her. Wow.
So, next I proceeded to secure a duplicate sales receipt from Best Buy for the purchase I made the day the iPAD 2 first hit the shelf on March 2, 2011. No problems with Best Buy customer service. Back home with an electronic copy of the receipt I called Verizon for what seemed now like the 100th time in 3 days and waited on hold the obligatory 20 minutes, made my way through the automated answering system obstacle course, provided all the various security pass codes, account numbers and answered all the requisite questions which, by now, I am convinced are designed to get the less determined customer to simply give up in exasperation. Only to be told by this new customer care rep that I could not send this receipt electronically to them because "that would be illegal". OMG
I was told I would need to wait until so and so from the fraud department returned his promised call to me - by then two days overdue. Sorry. So, I waited another day and called the fraud department. Got a new person after all the **. Only to have this person give me an e-mail address to send the receipt and then they needed to go as they were so busy and I could call back later. Called back again to see if now that they had the receipt they could tell me what the status was for closing out the investigation and re-activating our iPAD. Got another new person. Of course they can never connect you with anyone you've worked with before. Either they've never heard of all those other people you've talked to or that other person is simply not there. This time it was the latter and I would have to continue to wait two more days when that other person handling the case was supposed to return. Supposedly this other person entered into their notes that they tried to call me. Funny, they had the right contact information for me and I had my cell phone with me the entire time as I was expecting that call. Yet, it never rang, there were no logged missed calls, and no messages on it. So, at this point I am totally out of my mind and I'm sure there are lots of notes in the case file about the irate and unreasonable woman customer that keeps calling about this issue. I ask to speak to a supervisor. I'm told I can't because the her supervisor has already left for the day due to all the long hours they've all been working. I asked to speak to another supervisor. I was told, you can't speak to another supervisor, "you can only speak to my supervisor as I'm not allowed to connect you with anyone but my supervisor. I'm sorry, you'll have to wait.".
So, here it is, now 2 days since that last incredible conversation. Still no one from Verizon has bothered to contact me. I can fully understand that people make mistakes. I can understand that something like this might take time to investigate. I get it. But, what I can't accept is this attitude that the customer is wrong and Verizon never makes mistakes. I can't accept being accused of stealing as the only plausible answer for what has happened. I can't accept that Verizon's Customer Care reps and Fraud Prevention reps make promises to call you back on a specific day and then they never do. I can't understand why they wouldn't at least touch base to let you know they haven't forgotten you. I can't understand why you have to explain the situation over and over again to a different individual every single time you call them. Each and every rep seems to have gone through a very thorough training program where the very first words out of their mouths is "I'm sorry you are having this problem. But, rest assured I am here to fix this for you." After having heard that at least a couple dozen times now, I know how shallow and meaningless those words really are coming from Verizon.
Verizon, shame on you. You've treated us like dirt. You've fraudulently charged us $80 to date and continue to charge us for a non-existent phone on a non-existent service. You don't return calls as promised and I have had to resort to this discussion in hopes of getting resolution. Anyone else feel like they've been treated this badly? I've been a loyal customer for many years.

MatthewS_VZW,
As indicated in the original post, I did contact fraud. Today I contacted them again to get a status. I was informed they closed the case as "not fraud" on the 22nd, but could explain why I was not contacted back regarding this latest status. However, the rep then proceeded to tell me they thought I should send a new photocopy of the receipt because the one I sent in was cutoff. In looking at what I submitted, it was indeed, slightly cutoff at the very bottom. But what was cutoff was entirely irrelevant as the total cost, applied gift cards and final charge to my credit card were all clearly visible in the middle of the receipt. The only thing cutoff was the last line of details on the 4th gift card applied to the payment and the line was only cut in half and still decipherable. Just another stall tactic. Finally the rep agreed that sending a new receipt wasn't really necessary since the case was already closed. She said all we needed to do now was go into a Verizon store with the iPad and they could reactivate it. However, being now very doubtful of anything Verizon has to say, I called Customer Care and that rep said that while the fraud case was indeed closed, nothing has yet been resolved because the other party still has an active device with the same IMEI number. They could not activate our iPad until the mystery of the duplicate number is resolved.
The customer care rep offered to call the other party and see if they would be willing to bring in their device and sales receipt as well. So, he promised to call me back after he tried the other party. Well, Raul at Verizon wins the prize for best customer care so far since he really did call me back! But, apparently the other party told him to pound sand and hung up on him. Raul was uncomfortable with simply deactivating the other customer's device - wish the Verizon rep that deactivated our device last July had been as ethical as Raul. So, we are still in limbo with a device we can't get activated. Raul did at least agree we should be reimbursed for the last 7 months of charges for a non-existent device and supposedly has submitted a request on our behalf to credit us with $80. He also promised to call back tomorrow with an updated status. But, at this point it appears there is no clear path to resolve yet. I don't know what we're going to do or who to elevate this to next. If they can't compel the other party to prove ownership, or if the other party can prove ownership and indeed there are two devices with the same IMEI number, it seems the only solution will be for Verizon to issue a new device to one of the parties so we both can use iPads.

Two iPad 2 IOS 7.1.2: different behaviour with WiFi!

We have two iPad 2, IOS 7.1.2
The first one connects to out WiFi network everywhere around the house:Speedtest 28Mbps in same room as router and 13Mbps in the room with the weakest signal
2nd iPad: 18.78Mbps in same room and no signal whatsoever in room with weakest signal!
I tried all the troubleshooting fixes on the Apple Support pages and nothing helps!
Does anybody have the same problem and do you have any tips?
I don't dare upgrade IOS after major problems with WiFi after upgrade by other users!
Thank you

Siri requires an iPad 3 or newer.

I have two iPads and one is connected to the internet but my other iPad was connected then was not and since then I have not been able to add my internet back onto my iPad it only says cannot connect to the server any help would be great thanks

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

We have two iPad 2s and on one apps keep shutting down but on the other iPad the same app is fine. We have deleted the app, hard restarted and it still shuts down. How can we fix this?

Collaborative editing unable between two ipad users

I'm trying to share a numbers file created on an iPad (and stored on iCloud) with my wife's iPad to allow for real time editing, but seems to me that the only way to do it is using a web browser running on a MAC o PC (Safari on the iPad seems unable to do it). Is not possible to do it with numbers running on two iPads? How strange... Ought to be my fault.
Thanks for your support.
Amando Hernández

Grrrr yes I also just stumbled across this very problem after I spent the money on the app for my girlfriend. I've requested a refund as this is very very poor. Iwork for iCloud pages talk of sharing, collaboration, ios, web etc etc yet in practice I simply can't collaborate with another user on an ios device using safari or Numbers app.
Very disappointing.
Share document links with others instead of sending out lots of separate attachments. Then make instant progress by editing together in real time. See who’s in the document and follow their cursor as they make edits alongside you. You’ve never had a closer working relationship. With people so far away.

Sync Two iPads With No Wifi or Ethernet?

I have to sync two iPads in a room with no wifi or ethernet connection. Can it be done? (Or an iPad and an iPod?)
A friend told me I can do it with an AirPort base station, and he said I wouldn't need an Internet signal.
Maybe this is a question for an AirPort forum.
What I am wanting to do can be described in the first minute or so of this video: http://www.sunshinevalleysystems.com/PrompterPal_Video_iOSRemote.html
Thanks!

Is this a copy of XP that came with his computer? If so, that would be your problem. You need a retail copy to get the full benefits of Windows. OEM discs are designed to only work correctly with the computer they shipped with.

Can I FaceTime Between My Two iPads?

I have two iPads synced to my computer, my Apple ID. My wife has one and I have the other. How can I FaceTime between the two? I have two different emails I can use, but when I try to connect with the caller ID for one email calling the other, it says I'm busy. Could there be a problem because they both use the same Apple ID?

If you add another email address as the "contact at" email address on one of the devices - you still have to remove the Apple ID email address on that device or FaceTime will still try to contact you using that email address.
After you add the new email address and it has been verified - go to the "you can be reached for FacetIme at" setting and put a check mark next to the new email address that you just added to FacetIme in order to select it as the "contact at" email address, then tap the blue arrow next to the Apple ID email address and you can delete it in the next window.
You can also simply remove the check mark in front of the Apple ID email address as well after selecting the new email address. You don't actually have to delete it.

Game center on two iPads and one Apple ID

I own 2 iPads and use a single Apple ID so I have the same apps and music on my two devices. When my wife created an account on the second iPad it shows no games because they were purchased under my account.
Please tell me I'm missing something and there's a way to play multiplayer games between my two iPads without buying the games twice for the two iPads I own.
Thanks.

UM THERE ISN'T! u either got to change the account names or they are both going to be the same! Consolation: for now they reflect as one player for both devices but they may update to include something to fix this issue later on so I WOULD PHONE APPLE STORE WHERE U PURCHASED THE IPADS AND ASK THEM WHAT U SHOULD DO AND THEY MAY TELL U IT'S COMING SOON OR THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL (in which case U NEED 2 of everything!!!! Yeah!

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will
