You mean with the same iCloud account?
If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
    If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    Just do not update the iOS on the iPod. The only time you have to update is if the iPod has a problem and you have to restore via iTunes. Apple set up iTunes such that when you restore, the iPod is automatically updated to the latest iOS version for that iPod

  • Itunes it's not showing me the last date/time the iPhone/iPad was backed up.

    I just backed up my iPhone and iPad but  iTunes it's not showing me the last date/time my device was backed up. I had just done a backup about 3 hours ago. And when I go to check the backup location I see a folder there with the time it was last backed up. But it's not showing me the backup date in iTunes. I don't know what to do.
    I already tried to remove the folder in App. Support-Mobile Sync and start a brand new backup. But no date.
    Tried to delete and start a new iTunes folder in Music but nothing has changed
    Any solution is welcome!

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • My Mac has recently been restored in an Apple Store. I'm wanting to backup my iPhone 4 so I can use that data on my new iPhone 5. Though as my apple ID and everything has been reset to Factory Settings, if I plug my iphone in, will it erase everything?

    Okay, so I got Apple to restore my whole Mac operating system, and it obviously reset all my settings and computer to factory settings. As I now have an iPhone 5 and wanting to backup my iPhone 4, I can't do this as my Mac does not have any recorded backup's from before as they were deleted in the restoration. So i want to plug my iPhone 4 in to back it up. The main question is if I plug my iPhone 4 in, will it erase everything? and if so, how do i prevent this from happening as I have very important data on my iPhone 4 i can't lose.
    Thanks
    Georgia!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

    It's my iphone problem or itunes?

    It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes.  Try this:
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now.

    I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request que this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "
    I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

    Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

    Hi
    I have a Macbook air & iPhone 4.
    what do I need to do if I want to buy a book (ebook) or an application that is not available in the iTunes store in my area i.e. Africa (Egypt)?
    Do I need to open a different account in the iTunes store in the other area i.e. USA ?
    Please advice
    Thank you

    You can only buy content from your own country's store i.e. the Egyptian store if you are in Egypt - you need to be in a country to use its store, so to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. If there is an app or any other item that you would like to be buy that isn't currently available in the Egyptian store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the app's developer or rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

  • I want to upgrade my iPhone on my macbook air

    i want to upgrade my iphone on my macbook air, but my itunes acct wont download everything. help!

    Do you want more space or do you want more speed?
    If going SSD is out of the question because of the price, the I suggest you go with a Hybrid Drive.
    The Seagate Momentus XT 750GB is a nice drive that is faster than your standard 7200RPM and might be large enough for your needs.
    Invest about $200 and do the Seagate Momentus Drive and RAM upgrade.  That will give you a nice performance boost.
    The RAM you need would be 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 204 PIN SODIMM - you'll need two them to get 8GB.
    Good luck..
