Apps don't sync from iPhone to iPad

Just got an iPad and although my apps from iTunes/iPhone have transferred to my iPad, the information didn't transfer....it's like it's two separate accounts...is there a way to sync them up so the information within the apps transfers back and forth and stays up to date? I have tried to figure this out, but am having no luck. Thanks in advance.

Syncing an existing app on iTunes to a different device is like adding it new to that device.

New contacts don't sync from iPhone to ipad

I have 88 contacts on my iPhone and only 73 sync to my ipad. But if I enter a new contact on my iPad it syncs seamlessly to my iPhone. Any suggestions

Both devices are on. It's weird that I can add a new contact on my iPad and it transfers fine to the iPhone. I have deleted and re synced my contacts .. And nothing.
No tater what I do my iPhone will not sync all my contacts to the cloud or iPad.
I even turned on the iPhone contacts to the cloud default and nothing.

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

My calendar events transfer during sync from iPhone to iPad but not vice versa.

When I try to sync my calendars all of the entries on my iPhone appear (even the duplicates) on my iPad but my entries on the iPad do not transfer to my iPhone. I have tried switching the order they sync in (iPhone after iPad or iPad and then iPhone) but no changes. I have the "All Calendars" box checked on my iTunes. Any suggestions?

I assume you are syncing cal's through iTunes. While I am not sure how to solve your problem, I'd recommend using Google Exchange to sync your contacts. It works in real time and uses your gmail credentials to do so.

Games restarting after sync from iPhone to iPad

I just got the iPad 2 and synced my apps from my iPhone 3GS. All of the games I transferred restarted on my iPad. How do I get it so the games are the same on both devices?

hi randers4 .... this might be the solution. Question, what do you mean by "if you have any contacts or calendar events on your iPhone or iPad that are not on icloud.com, add them there." Where is "there" and how do I get to "there".
Now,... I do have contacts and calendar that are on the iPhone but was not signed on to the cloud. Do have an ID and PW. So I logged onto the cloud .....that turn on the cloud on the iPhone and did a backup. Is that what you mean when you say add "them there" on the iphone?

Aperture adjustments don't sync to iphone or ipad

Any adjustments - color, crop, etc - made to previously synced albums or projects don't update on the iPhone or iPad. Why would iTunes intentionally sync just the master and never versions, especially while not making it an option? When streamed, like to Apple TV, iTunes sends the latest version.
All software on all devices is the most current version/update.
This issue has been discussed previously, the latest I could find is here:
Why aren't Aperture edits reflected on the iPad?
I've tried all the suggestions around updating previews, etc with no success. Deleting the iPod cache each time is kinda silly. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very helpful! I find this to be a very frustrating little feature that Apple has thrown in
I think I'll try syncing with iPhoto, as it's a shared library now. Perhaps that will solve (kind of) the problem.
Thanks
Peter

Hey Canyonlight,
If you have iTunes Match then iTunes does not sync with your iOS devices. All syncing is done directly to iTunes Match, which does not see your playlists. See this article for an explanation -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync. The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices. Any ideas?? I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad. hanks.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

App folders not syncing from iTunes to iPad

While iPad is connected to iTunes, I've organized my apps into folders through iTunes. The folders have consolidated the apps as I wanted them on iTunes, but have not synced to device. I still see the apps in the folders I put them in when looking at iTunes. Is there another setting other than selecting Sync that I need to select to make those changes apply to the device?

Bryan
That sounds correct, and it's what I do... sync should work fine.
I also make sure that iPads etc don't automataically sync by going to iTunes> preferences> Devices - prevent iPads etc rom syncing automatically. It sounds like you may already be doing this.
Cheers

In app purchase not transferring from iPhone to ipad

I recently bought a metronome app that has an in app purchase which I opted for on my iPhone. It works as expected on the iPhone. However, the same app on my iPad does not recognize the purchase... it prompts me to purchase the feature to enable it. I tried removing the app from the iPad then resyncing it but that's no help. When I check mu purchase histoty on my computer the purchase shows up but from the iPad, the in app purchase doesn't show up. Anyone with similar experience have any suggestions?

This "should" fit into the "non-replenishable" category that would work with all of the user's ios devices. The app is a demo that has the full functionality enabled with the in-app purchase. I suppose it is possible that the developer misunderstood the classifications and set it up as replenishable by mistake.
If this is the case, it could be avoided if Apple would simply clearly note in the App store which category the In-App purchase is . i.e, if a customer is paying $20 for an in app purchase, it may be OK with them if they can use it on multiple devices but not worth it if they must purchase it for each device. They should be able to find out which it is before buying.

TS3999 Calendars don't sync between Iphone and Ipad.

When a calendar entry is added from my wife's phone to mine there is no entry, but it's on my mini-pad instead. Why is it on one device and not the other? I have chosen sync and all events in settings , but is still doesn't work for both devices, only the min-pad. I can add an event manually, but can't receive any notifications on the calendar if its sent to my Iphone. Please advise, thanks.

It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices (Settings > iCloud) or at least that you share some of the calendars between you and your wife (in case that you are using two separate iCloud accounts which is by the way recommended).

Only some photos sync from iPhone to iPad?

Over a 3 day period I took a dozen photos with my IPhone 4( w/ ios6). All are on my camera roll although 2 transferred to my iPad ( new, also with ios6). The same two show in Photo Stream on my phone. On the iPad nothing shows in my photos but the same 2 show in photo stream. One photo, taken a couple of minutes of the other two did not come through. None of the ones from two days earlier are anywhere on the iPad???

But, for part of the photos, three were taken within a few minutes of one another with the iPhone on continuously. Only 2 of the 3 went through. Of the several from the previous day, none went through??? Marc

My iMac calendar and contacts no longer sync on iPhone and iPad?

I updated iTunes on my iMac a few months ago. Since then my calendar and my contacts on the iMac have not been syncing on my iPhone and my iPad. My memory says there used to be an "Info" button at the top of the iTunes interface when I had my iPhone or iPad connected to the iMac for syncing. Do not see that button any more? Have been looking and looking for some new way to sync my calendar and my contacts, but have not found anything. This is one of several disappointments with the new iTunes. How do I get my iMac, iPhone, iPad calendars and contacts to sync??
It's been a real pain to have to enter calendar and contact information into all three! My iMac runs on Maverick, my iTunes is 11.1.3, and the iPhone and iPad run on iOS 7.0.4

Hello Bev76,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy
