Oldie onto FaceTime Q.

[Schwang Dang Doodle.]

After logging in, he has to find his former iPad in iCloud on the website.

Great, understood. I've forwarded your reply on here, to him. He seems a bit flustered even so, seemingly unable to successfully do this request. Hmm.

I'm next up & able to get at the ipad, at easter weekend. I'll see if anything positive has happened then. And jump back onto this thread.

Many thanks for your help J.A.

Hi chaps.

Really sorry, but one last re-launch of this thread/ one final try to get somewhere with this issue.

Ok, a reminder of where I am: I asked the seller, previous owner of ipad to untether his email account, from the ipad. I gave the exact instructions you guys kindly provided. He tried & tried (I think, so it seems from his mssgs) but nothing has changed. His email account is still stalwart tethered to the ipad. Numerous pop up boxes appear asking me to sign in. I can at least press 'cancel' each time & these go away.

But when I go to FaceTime, & it asks me to 'create new Apple ID' ( this as you may recall, is my goal).. I get the following message/ pop up box:

Could not create Apple ID.
This ipad has been used to create to mny new Apple ID's. Please contact Apple Support to request another Apple ID to use with this ipad.
To learn more, please go to If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message

Could anyone shed any further light? Thanks, Shwanger

Just to say I've got my old dad's iPad, the one in question, here with me at my home. Although I'm typing right now on my other main ipad Air.

Thanks, Shwanger

You can only create a limited number of Apple IDs on a particular device. Once this total is reached you can’t create any more on that device. You can, however create an Apple ID on another device and use it on your fathers iPad. There are no restrictions on the number of Apple IDs you can use on any particular device.
