Using two iPads simultaniously: Sync and Share Keyboard

I will soon be using 2 3rd gen. iPads as my only computer (+an iPhone). I've been using one sine April as my only computer and it's working great with the regular need for having two windows.
-- Ideas for how to best sync the iPads so they stay the same?
-- can I share a single Apple bluetooth keyboard between them? How?
Thanks,
Patrick

OK now it's my turn to clarify. I don't know if the keyboard will pair with both iPads at the same time. I just meant that you can use the keyboard with either iPad. You would have to try it when you get the new iPad. I guess I should have assumed that's what you wanted to do but the "two windows" statement confused me. You original question does say "simultaneously" but I lost sight of that.
As long as you use apps that sync with iCloud and have Data and documents turned on, set up both iPads exactly the same way, then iCloud should keep them identical.
With a quick Google search, I found this answer about pairing multiple devices with one keyboard. While the question is not posed directly - the Best Answer infers that if you do not disconnect Bluetooth on one of the iPads, you will end up typing on both devices up to a point - and then the keyboard will stop.
Read it and see what you think.

Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.

It worked fine until I did the IOS upgrade

It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

You create ringtones on your computer and sync them to your iphone.
You can buy ringtones from the ringtones section (at the bottom of the screen when you open itunes) of the itunes app on your iphone.
There may be apps that will do this - not sure.

My iPad just synced and deleted all my aps. Lost about $60.00 worth! Even the backup doesn't recover! Have I lost all my purchased apps?

My ipad just synced and I lost all my paid apps,about $60.00 worth. I just reinstalled my OS Windows 7 a week ago and the iPad has synced before with no problem. Have I lost all my purchases?

If you are a resident of the U.S. and install iTunes 10.3.1 or higher, you can re download your iTunes media without being charged again.

That was the first thing I check, my X no longer exist, the app still works fine and does everything it did in the past, the the x (delete) option is no longer there. I have deleted and redownloaded the app and did a complete reset, X still not there as an option. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Can I use the Ipad Wall Adapter and my Iphone USB cord to charge my Iphone 5s?

I heard that the IPad wall adapter will charge an IDevice faster, so I was wondering if I used my IPads wall adapter and my IPhones USB cord to charge my IPhone 5s, will it be okay?

You are welcome. Knowing which chargers are interchangeable helps when traveling, I only carry the iPad charger now since it works fine with the iPhone. The other way around will not work, however. You cannot charge an iPad with an iPhone charger, the power rating is too low.

HT4847 Can i use icloud as a server and share files with others as it was possible before?!

iCloud does not provide general file storage and sharing. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Two separate iPhones syncing and backing up to one centralized iTunes library?

Hi all,
My wife and I have two iPhone 5s' and am wondering if we can sync and back these two separte iPhones to one iTunes library? The library is located on a NAS drive on a share just labeled Music.
Ideally I would like to keep the two backups and syncs separately but have the ability to load playlists and albums from the centralized iTunes and iPhoto library.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

This article covers what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
As long as the phones have different names you can set different sync settings for them in iTunes. However, if they have the same Apple ID for iCloud any iCloud content (mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders) will be duplicated. The way to deal with this is to have different iCloud accounts on each device, but use the same Apple ID for the iTunes & App Stores. This way you can share music and apps.

How can i use two iPads to play a different AU-Instrument for each Pad at the same time via WLAN?

We have two iPads connected to the MacBook with two different Midi-Sessions. Now we want to connect the every Session to a single AU-Instrument to record live but don´t get it right. In Cubase we just had to choose the Sessions as Midi-Input.
(Sorry for bad englisch )
cheers

Your second post differs form your first, in the first post you said "single AU instrument", in this last post you said "separate synths". I'll address the second post.
It's a bit more difficult in Logic than Cubase which has an updated more modern MIDI system.
The iPad MIDI software will need to transmit on separate MIDI channels for each iPad.
example:
iPad #1 MIDI channel 1
iPad #2 MIDI channel 2 ...etc, doesn't matter which channels as long as they're separate.
Boot Logic:
Go to Settings/Recording and select "Auto Demix by Channel if Multitrack Recording"
Now setup your AU tracks, select separate channels in the inspector, the channels must match the transmit channels on the iPod.
You used to have to record enable the tracks, I don't believe that is necessary now.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.
I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
Thank you!

Ipad wont sync and exclamation point in device manager

I cannot get my ipad to sync with my new computer. There is an exclamation point in the device manager by this device and I dont know what it means. I do not want to uninstall itunes and reinstall as I am afraid I will lose all the music I have put in there......What does this message mean??
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device.A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

Thanks , for responding .I am using windows7 and I have uninstalled the dvd drive and restarted the pc numerous times .When i try to update the driver through windows it does'nt work.I have downloaded all the software for my toshiba L300 from the toshiba website and everything works fine, but Toshiba only provides firmware for the pioneer dvd rom not the driver .
I can't find the correct driver anywhere without having to pay for it .The problem is that my dvd rom was working fine and suddenly it showed the exclamation mark in device manager and shows it as cd instead of dvd ..
