Two iPads

Can you have two different iPads that use one Apple ID?

You can have ten devices (no more than five of them computers) associated with your Apple ID and the Apple App/iTunes Store at one time.

Devices can have the same name, however, it is much easier to identify and manage them if you change the names to something that is both unique and appropriate for the named device. Device names are changed from the device settings:

Settings > General > About - the Name field can be edited as required


The device names have no administrative impact - as the devices all have a unique device identifier that is used, by Apple’s back-end servers, to identify and control devices. For this reason, devices can have the same “name” without causing any issues with Apple’s services.
