Why can't I use my Ipad on 2 different computers

I have my Ipad on Itunes in my reg computer why will it not sync on my 2nd computer my laptop to travell with.

Theoretically you would be able to do this if .... the iTunes libraries on both computers were identical and constantly in sync with each other.
And technically - it will sync with the other computer - but it will erase everything that was synced from the first computer.
The iPad and all iDevices are designed to sync with one iTunes library at a time and only one. The smart thing to do would be to combine the two iTunes libraries on one computer - the one that you use most often - and just sync with that one computer.

Why can't I use the iPad as my smartphone?

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone? Ipad is doing everything what a smartphone does, except the calling facilities. Since IPad can connect to the Internet(WiFi), and via VOIP services like skype or yahoo, we can very well connect to any mobile or landline phone. So what I'm asking is, Ipad can very well provide some User interface as phone does and internally it can use the VOIP to connect to phones. Share your views.

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone?
You can as long as you don't want to make calls over a mobile phone network as the iPad doesn't have the hardware to make calls that way.
At least we'll be able to recognise you on a call:

Help why can i not use my ipad since it reset itself

hi my ipad 2 just reset itself when i restated it and put id etc in all i get is cannot connect to sever why is this ????

I'm not sure what you mean by the statement that the iPad reset itself when you restarted it. Do you mean you had to restore it and start all over again with device activation? You said that you put in ID etc, and that really doesn't tell us that much. Now all you get is can't connect to server. I assume that you mean in Safari. If that's what you mean, clear Safari, close all of the apps on your iPad, and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why can't we use the ipad with build in internet be used for a hotspot

Will Apple and Verizon make the ipad 2 with build in Internet to have the ability to use it for a hotspot ?

That should work without a problem. Set to dhcp on the networking.

Since downloaded ios7 on ipad 3G , I can only use it in the state of GOA, INDIA, where I live. Why can't I use it outside GOA ?

Why can't I use my ipad 3G outside my living area since I've downloaded IOS 7 ? It's frustrating

Check with your service provider and see if it affected something in their profile.

What can't I use my iPad in another house with the same internet service as mine

Why can't I use my iPad in another location that has same internet service. Comcast. As me

Presumably, if that house was a wifi network, and you know the wifi networks password so you can connect, you can use it. Does the homeowner have a secured network? Have you asked them for the password to connect?

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB

Why can't I use my new IPad to pay in stores with apple pay?

I want to know why it is not possible to use your ipad mini 3 or ipad air 2 to pay with apple pay in stores. Why can you only use apple pay online with ipads and with iphones you can use them for in store purchases and online purchases. I mean I guess how it makes sense to apple, sense most people wouldn't want to bring there ipad a long with them to pay, but for some people, especially if you have the latest ipad mini which is like a phablet anyways, I feel like it would be nice if you could use it to pay in store with apple pay.

We have no clue as to what Apple may come up with in future models, but for now the snazzy tap&go allure of ApplePay can only be done using an iPhone 6 or 6plus.
Purportedly the rest of the devices can do thru-the-web Apple Pay-ment, but that's not as sexy and not as widespread.

I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not economic for small purchases? Anyway,
I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad?

It does not have a camera.
iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

It just don't make sense you say ICloud backs up my IPad so why can't I use the extra Gb then then who did I pay to get what I thought was GB to use on my IPad?

It don't make sense then why sell the extra GB for the IPad I paid $100 thinking I use it for the extra storage who sold it to me? I thought it was apple I'll have to re check that!!! I'm disappointed for sure.if ICloud is for backup the why can't you use it for storage too!!!

iCloud is for backup. It cannot magically change your device's hardware or storage capacity.
"If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year."

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

It would appear that apple has managed to p1ss off alot of ipad one users in one fowl swoop, what makes it worse is that fact we were the early adoptors who got asked, why do you want a big iphone for? and then spent time showing people how good it was! actually promoting it for apple! and then to get this kick in the teeth is frustrating! i wish i had known about xcode before!
however!
keep sending feedback, i must have sent twenty yesterday and will keep sending them untill i get a reply from these idiots! and wont stop untill i do, the more feedback sheets we fill in the more they will have to listen, it takes less than a min, i just asking the same question! moaning on here wont do anything, feedback might
also note they have changed the website now, but they have not changed the iOS5 spash screen :
(•          AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
          •          Multitasking Gestures for iPad
          ◦          Use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen
          ◦          Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar
          ◦          Swipe left or right to switch between apps)
clearly they were planning on releasing this update to us, otherwise on the spalsh screen it would have stated ipad 2 only, note in the sentence above it states it CLEARLY makes a reference to ipad 2 for airplay, so, whatever the problem, they can fix it and they know it works!

Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad

Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad also why can't I access adobe flash

Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed.
In terms of Firefox, you can only install apps (i.e. programs) that are available in the iTunes App Store, not normal PC or Mac software - the iPad runs iOS, not OS or Windows. If the makers of Firefox havn't created an iOS version of it then you cannot run it.
Edit : some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message

That's an account-level setting on the iPad. Presumably you use your cell number as your Facetime account credentials on your phone, and the iPad is linked to your account as well? You can go into the Facetime settings on the iPad and change what accounts can be reached on the iPad or used to make Facetime calls. Same goes for Messages.
