Syncing ipad with existing iphone

If you read my first question, I did get my ipad reset back to where it was when brand new. I'm still having problems figuring out how to sync it with my iphone that's backed up on iTunes. Should I "choose to set up as new iPad" or "restore from backup"? I thought I needed to restore from back up but when it tells me next to connect to iTunes, the only thing there about my iPad is the available space on it. That's it! Do I need to connect my phone at the same time? I see "summary" on my phone info, but nowhere with ipad. I'm thoroughly confused as to how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx!

I think I remember your first question and I believe that I responded to it. Choose restore from backup. No you do not need to connect your phone when you do this. Now I am assuming that you did properly backup the phone.
Its really quite simple. When iTunes ask you if you want to restore from the backup, click yes or OK or whatever shows up - and then a window should pop up listing your backups. You should only have the iPhone backup to select from in the drop down menu, so select the iPhone backup and then click on restore. After the backup is loaded onto the iPad, sync with iTunes if it doesn't sync on its own. But I think that it should sync after you restore from the backup.

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

    I just purchased an iPad air.  I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account.  Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong.  How can I sync these devices?  Thanks Jenni

    When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine.  You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
    Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
    If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password.  You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

  • HT1535 I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my i

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way

    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    If universal, just re-download them to your phone, or sync them from your iTunes library.

  • Why won't my iTunes sync up with my iPhone 4s?

    I have a problem...My girlfriend and I just bought new iPhone 4s phones. We have tried multiple times to sync each phone to our iTunes accounts. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem or what, but she is having a problem with her iTunes on her computer, and I am having a problem on mine. What is going on?
    Andrew

    Often, this problem can be fixed if you locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.

  • My playlists do not sync properly with my iphone

    I have playlists in iTunes, which is fully up-to-date, on my 4 month old MBP.
    When I sync these playlists with my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.01), the playlists are incomplete on the iPhone.
    For some reason, some of the songs are missing in the playlists, though the songs themselves ARE on the iPhone (and can be played outside of the playlist).
    Solutions tried so far...
    I removed all of my music (and playlists) via iTunes from my iPhone, then re-sync'd them.  No change.
    I deleted one of the incomplete playlists (one that wouldn't sync properly from iTunes), I recreated it, and tried to sync it with my iPhone.  No change.
    I'm at a loss.  Why would SOME songs in my playlists show up, but NOT ALL?  I suspect this has something to do with iOS 5.01, iCloud, and/or NOT using iTunes Match????  I've never had a problem with syncing before iOS 5 and iCloud.
    I'd appreciate any solution to this problem.
    Thanks.

    I have this exact problem, I switched to ios5 on my iPhone 4 and tried syncing it with my mac mini. All the playlists are complete on itunes but for some reason 75% of the playlists are empty on the phone but the music all there.
    I've tried everything you have but I think the only thing left to do is remove all the songs from iTunes and then re add them and recreate all the new playlists.

  • Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

    Hey there,
    I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
    1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
         Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists,       Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
    2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error         that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
    I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

    Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
    What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

  • Sync problems with my iphone

    Can anyone offer suggestions for trobleshooting sync problems with my iphone. Recently I have connected my iphone and my ipod to my computer while having itunes open and I do not see my devices in itunes. I have powered off the iphone and powered back on and I have the most recent version of itunes on my computer. I have also tried multiple USB ports and multiple cords on my computer. When I go to file in itunes, Sync is not an option (greyed out). Any suggestions?

    Had the same issue last year on XP Pro.
    1) Start->All Programs->Apple Software Update Run this and make sure your up to date on iTunes.
    2) Unplug both devices.
    3) Restart the computer (I know your tired of being told this-it's a windows thing and sometimes it's a PO'd IT person thing either way do it).
    4) After restart open iTunes.
    5) wait a tad for iTunes to open all the way up, navigate through your music to make sure. Then connect the iPhone. Watch your clock area and you should see two pop-ups. One says Found new device, second says iPhone.
    Last, if it doesn't appear it's because windows photo capture is trying to connect to the iPhone. Minimize iTunes and you'll probably have a pop up sitting there. THIS WINDOW will not show up in the task bar.

  • Sync problems with iPhoto & iPhone through iTunes.

    I can not sync my iPhoto with my iPhone through iTunes. Error (-50) ?
    on my new laptop, I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5.1 and opened a library that I had backed-up from my previous laptop.
    iTunes refuses to sync photos with my iphone. It gts stuck on the "import" step.
    I tried rebuilding the library, but it did not solve the issue.

    In that case, repair your original iPhoto library:
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and repair the library.
    If that does not help, quit iPhoto, back up your iPhoto Library, and remove the iPod Photo cache, if there is such a folder, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    If all fails, back up the iPhoto Library and rebuild it as described by Old Toad:
           Re: iPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them.
