We have 10 iPads in a library setting. Is there a way to sync them so they all have the same apps, settings, etc.

Is there a way to set up multiple iPads so that they have the same wallpaper, icons, apps and settings? We have 10 in a library setting and want them all to look the exactly the same and have the same apps.

My business is buying ipads for our technicians. They all need the same app. If I buy one app, can more than one user use it at the same time if they have the same apple id?

My primary icloud id is different on my ipad than my iphone. Is there a way to sync them?

I recently was given an ipad2. After resetting it to the factory settings I mistakenly created a new apple id. Now my primary icloud id is different on my ipad than iphone. Is there any easy fix to be able to have them sync my iTunes, photos, etc.? Besides pulling my hair out!

In iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud.

Every time i connect my car charger for ipad it says not charging and i tried more than one charger but they all say the same thing is there something wrong with my ipad?

My ipad doesnt want to charge in the car charger

What are the electrical specs of the car charger? The Apple wall charger is rated at 5V and 2A. If the car charger does not output 2A @5V, you'll get the not charging message. However, it will still charge, but very slowly.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

Sorry, but that's not possible.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

TS3274 I play candy crush both on my IPad and my samsung android, how do I synch them so they both show the same results?

I play candy crush both on my IPad and my samsung android, how do I synch them so they both show the same results?

We went through the same drill.
First, decide which computer you are going to use. One or the other. You can't have it both ways.
Then plug in the 'foreign' device.   Do not let it sync. Yet.
Give this device a new name in the left pane in I tunes so that you all know which device is which. You will need to authorise the computer to the new I tunes account. You will need to transfer any purchases to that computer. You will need to upload any photos to the photo library.
Then sync.   Each time you plug it, it will remember the specific device, the old on, or the foreign one, and bring up its own particular arrangement as a starting point.
You will find that by checking the boxes, you can share apps, and music.   But when you go to do updates, if you are mingling apps, each user will need to know the apple password to get updates.
We found it to be a little confusing, but once you get used to it, using the same I tunes for 2 different accounts works ok.
Before you do anything, please make a full backup ofmthe original device. If something gets out of hand, you can always revert back to where your were.

IPad 2 deleted all of my contacts, when I run the Dr. Fone software it shows they are still on my iPad 2 but it costs 60-70 dollars. Is there another way to retrieve them? They were not backed up on Itunes like I thought they were. Please help!!

Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

Thanks If anyone can help me.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

You must use the same Apple ID used for the original iPhoto purhcase.
Open the App Store then select Purchases from the menu top of that window.
Click Download to the right of iPhoto.

HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

We have 10 iPads in a library setting. Is there a way to sync them so they all have the same apps, settings, etc.
