Backing up Texts from iPad to iPhone

I accidentally deleted all texts from one of my contacts from my iPhone. There are no recent backups in iCloud or iTunes
But because he's an iMessage contact, i have his texts on my iPad.
Is there anyway to get them onto iPhone?
iPad and iPhone both running 7.1.1. My Mac fwiw runs Mavericks.

I'm afraid of getting stuff I don't want gotten and losing stuff I don't want lost!
That would be a good solution if the texts were so paramount that I wouldn't mind facing such issues, but it's not THAT important...

How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1, and installed Icloud. This is where the problems all began.
Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all. Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere? I just wanna go home ! Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis. Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library. That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files. If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one.

How do I copy all of my messages from ipad to iphone?

I foolishly deleted all of my messages from my iphone5 when the imessage problem occured in OS 7.0.1. I also have an ipad (3rd gen wifi only) which has all of my imessages synced. They appear to be syncing correctly now but only new messages...I want to get the message history back on the iphone. Synching is not doing it unless I have a setting wrong...I don't have a great way of testing this. Also, I tried backing up my ipad on itunes and restored that backup to my iphone but the messages did not come accross. I have my apple id, phone number, and emails exactly the same. I'm not sure what else to try. Is there a step by step process to get messages (with message history) back on an iphone? Is there a way just to copy or send the full message history from ipad to iphone?
Thanks,
Eric

Messages are not synced so syncing with iTunes won't help. They are, however, included in the backup. There are some limitations on what will be restored when restoring an iPad backup to an iPhone but there is no documentation indicating that messages would not be restored. All I can suggest is try backing up your iPad and restoring the backup to your iPhone again.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

HT1491 Search option tab doesn't appear on my iTunes Store when accessed from iPad or iphone

iTunes Store has recently been launched in India ....however search option tab seems to be missing in the app when accessed from iPad or iPhone. Also the purchase option is visible in iPad but missing in iPhone

Me too. 34000+ items.
Gotta wonder if that's a factor.
Just now I removed all remotes from iTunes.
(Prefs > Devices > Forget All Remotes)
Then I turned on Home Sharing on my iPhone.
(Tap the gear icon in the Library selection screen.)
Previously the iPhone was registered as a regular remote.
So both devices are controlling iTunes via home sharing.
Now iTunes is not crashing at all, in full-screen mode or otherwise.
Not sure if it will last, but time will tell.
Hope this is useful to you.
I'll post back if the crashes return.

Transferring Phone Book from iPad to iPhone 5S

Hello, I'm trying to tranfer phone book on ipad to iPhone 5S. I defined the same icloud accounts in both. I connected to wi-fi. But still cannot syncronize. I also tried connecting iPad to itune. Backed up. Restored from iPad to iPhone. Did not work.
How can I start the syncronization of iCloud manually? What can be the problem? One thing on my mind. iPhone 5S is IOS 7.0.4 but ipad is still the old style. Can that be a problem?
Thank you in advance for your support!!!

If you are reffering to photo stream...
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
If you are reffering to restoring from back up...
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

How to send sms from iPad via iphone

How to send sms from iPad via iphone?

You don't easily.
The pad, with I message turned on, will send text like messages to any other ios5 user that has I message turned on.
The pad is not a phone, and does not have the radio to send 'real' SMS messages, which use the phone channel.
There are a few apps in the store that will convert messages to SMS, for use with non apple folks. Check out the app store. Search SMS.

Recover deleted text from ipad

Does anyone know ho to Recover a deleted text from ipad

It's not possible to recover a deleted text unless the text existed on the device the last time it was backed up.
If that is the case, restore the device from the backup... where the device is backed up is irrelevant.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

How to get contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud.)

How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone? (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

Recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step

recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step instructions xoxoxo
And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.
