  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

    We have two ipads and one Itunes account.  Are we able to have separate accounts within iTunes so my husband can have his games on his account and I can have mine?

  • ICloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three

    iCloud - have two iPads and one Macbook and want to sync reminders on all three. I have managed to get the Macbook and one iPad to sync, but wjat about the other iPad?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that reminders syncing (calendars on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the reminders you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device by tapping the icon with three lines in the top left corner of the screen, or the right side panel by clicking on the small triangle to the right of the word 'Reminders' in iCal on a computer), non iCloud reminders will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your reminders are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking reminders syncing (calendars syncing on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • 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.

  • 2 BBs with two numbers and same email address

    Hello,
    I have a BB with a Vodafone number from Portugal. I want to buy now
    another BB to use with another Vodafone number, this case from
    Ireland.
    My question is whether I can have both phones working with the same
    gmail address at the same time? When an email is received it will go
    to both phones at the same time?
    thanks for your help

    Jameskemp is correct.
    When you set up an email address on your BlackBerry, you're associating the delivery of that email address to your phone's PIN.  You can't have one email address going to two different PINs simultaneously.
    Now you know.

  • Can I use my personal and work email addresses to accept FaceTime call on my iPad?

    I'd like to use my personal email account to accept FaceTime calls from family and give out my work email to accept FaceTime calls from work colleagues. I have set up both accounts and verified the addresses with my apple ID, but only the personal address works for FaceTime. Is what I want to do possible? Cheers!

    I answered my own question. I needed to add my work email address to my iPad FaceTime settings. Works perfect now.

  • Can I make two accounts with one email address?

    I am a newbie so I hope this question makes sense to someone out there.  When I purchased an ipod for my daughter several years ago, I opened her account with my email address because she was so young at the time.  I now have an ipad for myself and we are arguing over whose account it is.  As an example, when I was playing an ongoing game on my ipad with my name attached to the account she complained that she couldn't play the same game with her own accumulating  score so we edited the apple id password to her name and now it is associated with her Facebook account so my identity in the game is in lala land and I cannot access it.  Is it possible to have two separate identities with the same email address used for your apple id?  How do we go about setting up them so we can switch between them?  Any help with this issue is appreciated, thank you.   

    You need to be in a country to use its store, so you can't buy content from the French store unless you are in France with a France billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the music be added to the Canadian store, but unless the record company/rights-holder agrees to it then Appl won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

  • Two accounts on one email address?

    On September 14, I started getting emails from Skype in Hungarian. I translate the message, it says
    Welcome (someones username),
    You have a new voice message!
    All the links in the the email look legit, they all go to the skype.com root domain or subdomain of skype.com. The message also says to log into skype to listen to the message.
    The username in the email is not mine. If I search for the username, it looks like it is a real account.
    How is it possible for someone to sign up to skype with an email address already being used for skype, or how is it possible for someone to change their email address without confirming it is their email address?
    This is a security problem... I could probably reset this users password right now.
    How do I fix this?

    You don't need two accounts. Just use the same one.
    If you need two accounts then get one of the free one available, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and so forth.

  • Two Skype names one email address

    When I am in Skype I can see my profile in the upper right. But in my contacts I see what appears to be an old version of my account. My profile has my email address in it, and this other contact also has my email address in it. The other contact has a profile picture I recall setting up way back when I used skype a long time ago, and before I had setup a microsoft account.
    Is there a way to get rid of that old contact/account and keep the current microsoft account connected one? I don't want anyone to be confused with the two versions or for me to potentially lose messages that might get sent to the wrong, unused, contact.

    HI,
    There should be no problem
    Hope this helps

  • 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!
