I want to set up "find my ipad" on my sister's ipad, so we can find each other's iPads. However, this seems to require differing individual cloud email addresses, so one ipad wouldn't recognise the other one. How do I get round this?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.2
Welcome to the Apple Community.
That would require you both use the same ID for iCloud, which you probably wish to avoid.
Why do you want to do this. If its to find them when they are lost, you can do that from any computer. If it's just to know where each of you are, use the Find Friends app.

Many thanks for the quick response.
I'm fine with using the same ID for iCloud, so I'll give that a try.
You mention that a lost ipad can be found from any computer. As a relative computer novice, I didn't know this. How would I go about carrying out such a search?
I don't think I'd use the find friends app. My concern is to find a lost or stolen ipad.
Thanks
You'd just log into iCloud.com on any computer using your iCloud log in details and use the Find my phone feature.
Brilliant - didn't know that was possible. Just now need to set up find my ipad on my sister's ipad and everything done! Many thanks.
