Will iPad Air 2's touch ID fingerprint sensor recognize 2 authorized fingerprints?

My wife and share use of an iPad 1. We're considering upgrading to a shared iPad Air 2, but am concerned about the touch ID fingerprint sensing function.  Will the function be able to record and allow use of 2 authorized fingerprints - my wife's and mine?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883 referenced in Star Traveler's Apple Support document (Touch ID security) gives the really useful answer to my question ... assuming the iPad Air 2's Touch ID operates the same as the iPhone's Touch ID.  The "Using Touch ID on iPhone" Apple Support document tells how to configure up to 5 different fingers to have their prints to be recognized as legit, while the "Touch ID security" Apple Support document makes only passing reference to multiple fingerprints being recognized.

    How much RAM will Ipad Air have and will it be sufficent?

    Its just apple tend to give their devices the minimum RAM they can as a sort of a limiting factor, ive had my Ipod touch 4 for 3 years now and its virtually useless now because of the lack of RAM they put in them and i dont want to be paying over 600 pound for something thats not going to run good apps after two years because theres not enough RAM.
    Well, any mobile computing device you buy is technically obsolete within a year or less of being released - for any company's products that's true.  And with all of these all-solid state devices, you cannot update the RAM or the storage, so they basically remain useable and supported as long as they do - there really is nothing you can do to avoid that sort of situation.  Smart phones and tablets are evovling at an almost frenetic pace, so nothing in that arena is going to be compatible with the operating systems and apps of newer future devices for very long.
    You can maintain your own device's usability for longer by making sure to keep backups of apps & versions of apps that you know do run on your device so you will not be left behind if an App store update drops support for your device and removes the older app version.
    And as far as iOS devices, I don't agree that Apple only installs the minimum RAM.  The amount of RAM is going to be based on a number of factors - the capability of the mobile cpu being used, the footprint of iOS and the built in functions, the typical RAM usage of known iOS 3rd party apps, the size of battery(s) available to fit in the space available, the added cost of additional RAM and any number of additional parameters.  In a device like a tablet or smart phone, every single component that goes into them involves some trade off or compromise.

  • When will ipad air 2 ?

    when will ipad air 2 be available in canada

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.

    There is no Word program for the iPad.  Microsoft hasn't made one.  But Pages can read and write most Word files:

  • When will ipad air 2 be hitting indian stores??????

    i have been waiting for ipad air 2. if anybody can tell when it will be available in india

    Last Year iPad Air was Launched in US on 1st November, 2013. But it launched in India on 7th December,2013. The Pricing of iPad Air wasn't announced officially till mid-end November.
    This Year, the Pricing of iPad Air 2 was announced on the first day itself, and even the iPhone 6,6 Plus launched Earlier in India compared to Previous iPhones.
    Considering these things, I Believe It won't be too Long.
    I Guess 7th November or 14th November 2014, could be the Official Launch Date in India.
    Though there are some other factors to consider:- Due to Anti-Reflective Coating, the Manufacturing of iPad Air 2 is Slower and hence stocks could be limited.
    Hope it Launches Soon. BTW it'll be in news everywhere when it does.

  • Will Ipad air 1 cases fit ipad air 2?

    Since the ipad air 2 is slimmer than the 1, will any of the cases fit properly or do I have to wait for third party cases to be released (don't want to buy the official apple case)?

           iPad Air 2                         iPad Air 1
    Height:
    9.4 inches (240 mm)
    Width:
    6.6 inches (169.5 mm)
    Depth:
    0.24 inch (6.1 mm)
    Height:
    9.4 inches (240 mm)
    Width:
    6.6 inches (169.5 mm)
    Depth:
    0.29 inch (7.5 mm)
    As you can see the iPad Air 2 is thinner so id say its not going to work and you should just get a new case.

  • Will iPad Air support IMAP e-mail server

    I have an iPod whereupon my Sky IMAP e-mail account works fine, I am close to buying the new iPad Air, but read many off putting comments about IMAP e-mail not working with iOS7 within the support communities forum?
    Can you advise according please
    Kind regards

    I use Mail+ (the app JimHdk linked to) to access my work exchange mail via the web exchange portal our company runs (at work I just use Outlook, as my work machine is a Win7 box).  It works quite well and the developer is very active in adding improvements and enhancements as well as being very responsive to questions.
    If your Outlook mail is accessible via an Outlook Web page, it is one possible alternative.  For me it means I have my work email on my personal iPhone and iPad without having to accept and live with our IT security settings in place on my own devices.

  • Is the fingerprint sensor really a fingerprint sensor?

    I'm confused.
    I'm sure many of you have seen those videos of a man unlocking his iPhone 5S with his nipple with the fingerprint sensor and another using his cat's paw to do the same.
    If the sensor is as what Apple says... a fingerprint sensor reading and storing our fingerprint data, how is this possible? Since I'm thinking that there is no fingerprint pattern there.
    Unless the sensor is just a glorified scanner, taking pictures of the pattern of the skin and then just comparing the two images.
    Appreciate any feedback?
    Thanks.

    The finger print reader just takes high resolution pictures of what ever you set up on touch Id so if they are putting it up to whatever they choose it will just take a high resolution picture of that and then when they try to use it, touch I'd will just compare the picture they used to setup with touch id with the picture they are trying to sign in and if it is a match then it will unlock

  • I have an ipad2 and an iPad Air. I want to give the 2 to my mom. I don't her to have access to my information. We will be sharing the wifi. How do I set up separately?

    I have an ipad 2 and an iPad Air.  I want to give the ipad 2 to my mom, but do not want any of my information on it. Right now it is synced to my MacBook and my iPad Air.  We live together and will be sharing the same wifi.
    Please help. She is 97 and needs a way to keep in touch with my other sibs.

    Follow these instructions to clear your iPad of all your Data.

    With that done, you will need to create an Apple Id for her if she wants to use iMessage and/or Facetime.

    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.

  • Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol
