Handoff not working between iPad and iPhone
i have installed ios 8 on both my iPhone 5 & iPad 4th generation. They are both on the same wifi network & both have Bluetooth switched on. In settings I have made sure hand off is switched on.
I can make a regular call on my iPad but that's where the continuity seems to end. I don't see a button to open Safari on the lockscreen when it is in use on another device, I cant pass a half written email from one device to another, or see Pages documents etc. I'm at a loss.
I know it can be frustrating sometimes when things aren't working well but I must say I think you are being a bit unfair. At the end of the day Apple are a business not a charity. I'm sure they love being able to survive being the company for rich people.
"I have to BUY A NEW COMPUTER TWO YEARS LATER to use your shiny new "killer" app??"
The two year old computer you have works fine, you don't have to update anything. You survived without the "Killer app" prior to it's release.
Also they have released a brand new operating system that they will give you FREE OF CHARGE that is backwards compatible to the iPhone 4s. Thant's a pretty good effort considering they could quite easily not bother.
Complaining that a phone company is just "another money hungry capitalist maw" and that "EVERYTHING THEY DO is designed to make you keep spending more and more money" seems a bit naïve. It's like complaining that politicians are only interested in getting votes. It's what they do.
I'm not trying to start an online fight. It just seems like a waste of energy getting angry about a tech company. Why not switch to another make of phone. Life's too short to be getting angry about stuff like this.

Continuity not working between iPad and iPhone
I have an iPad Air and iPhone 5 S. Both have been upgraded to iOS 8 and both are on the same wifi network. I do not get any notification of incoming phone calls on my iPad when my iPhone rings. As well there is no option in the wifi settings on my iPad to activate the personal hotspot on my iPhone.
Alright. It's convoluted, but it works.
Settings>iCloud. Sign out on both devices.
sign back in to your apple I'd with your original email address: NOT YOUR @me OR @icloud ADDRESS.
once those are done, go down to settings>FaceTime. Make sure the apple ID signed in is the same Apple ID that you just used. Again, not your @me or @icloud address.
lastly, there should be a toggle in FaceTime settings for both that says "iphone cellular calls". Switch it on. If it's not there, reboot your devices and try again! -
HT6337 handoff not working between MBPR and iPhone 6
tried everything
I got a similar problem. Phone calls, SMS work fine, even Handoff works fine one way, from my iPhone (5S) to my MacBook Pro (13" retina late 2012), but not the other way. I literally tried everything, no idea whats wrong.
Edit: all devices run the latest (final) os versions. -

Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone
Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone (IOS 8).
Hi raydela,
I understand your calls aren't being transferred between devices.
Check out the troubleshooting in this article.
Get help using Continuity with iOS 8
If a call doesn't transfer to your other devices, or you don't see the Handoff icons
Make sure that your devices are using iOS 8 or later by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Check your settings:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and turn on Handoff.
Go to Settings > Phone and turn off Wi-Fi Calling.

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone
And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath -

IOS needs the video to be in html5 format, try to convert the video to html5 or download a sample html5 video from web and verify it.

Why won't Notes sync between iPad and iPhone?
I own an iPad and iPhone and use MobileMe. My contacts, calendar, mail and iDisk all sync properly but I can't get Notes to work.
On my iPhone Notes, I have the option of selecting the following accounts:
From my PC
MobileMe
My 3 different email addresses
I have placed my notes under both "From my PC" and "MobileMe."
My iPad doesn't even give me the option to select the various accounts in the same way the iPhone does.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I couldn't find any other topics that are having problems similar to mine.I purchased my ipad at a Apple store and the salesman sold me the mobileme convincing me that everything including Notes would sync in the clouds! I still cant understand why we're paying for something that doesn't yet work. This is unacceptable. I just want my NOTES to seamlessly sync between my iphone, ipad and mobileme just like everybody else. Is this too much to ask or expect? Besides, isnt what thousands of paying mobileme subscribers expect.
I want my NOTES to be identical on all platforms and not have to check my mail accounts. As far as my Notes taken with my Ipad, they don't sync anywhere and spent endless hours trying to figure it out only to find out that the sync feature is not yet available for the Notes on my ipad. Thanks Apple! You succeeded to mislead me and taking my money in advance. How long do we have to wait for this to be resolved? We have the right to get a truthful answer and don't appreciate being fooled. -
HT204053 calanders do not sync between ipad and iphone
I have my wife's hand me down 1st generation Ipad with 4G and a 4Gs iphone but my calanders do not sync between the phone and the ipad.
My PC has icloud installed and turned on and my ipad and iphone have the cloud turned on.
All three pieces have current software.If you mean photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on both devices and sign into iCloud account with the same Apple ID, then turn photo stream to On. After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be uploaded to photo stream when the camera app is closed, it is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. They will appear on your other device in the my photo stream album.

IMessage not syncing between iPad and iPhone.
My mom got an iPad and she is having trouble with iMessage between her iPad and iPhone. On my iPad when I go to messages settings and it shows how I want to iMessage, it shows my cell phone number first then my email address second. So when anybody iMessages me I get it on both my iPhone and iPad. On my moms iPad in the messages settings it's showing she sends and receives iMessages through her email. Her cell phone number associated with her apple id isnt showing up. When she gets an iMessage its only showing up on her iPhone. Not her iPad. How do I fix this? I honestly don't know how I did mine. I think it did it automatically.
If you go on the iPad and look at Messages in Settings, what do you see in Send & Receive? You might try turning off Messages and then wait a minute and turn it back on. If you log in with the same Apple ID, it should automatically populate the phone number. Then check the phone and see if you can see in Settings>Messages that you have Text Message Forwarding.

Why aren't notes transfering between iPad and iphone
Using I cloud and have notes checked off to sync but they are not moving from iPad to iPhone 5. Everything else is transfering - contacts, pictures, etc.
Notes located in the "On my mac" or "on my device" (but not in the "icloud") sections will not sync to icloud. Could that be the problem?

Handoff not working between iPad Mini Retina and 2014 Macbook Air
So, I've upgraded to Yosemite today on my 2014 Macbook Air and have updated to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad Mini Retina.
Both are on the same wifi network. Both have bluetooth enabled and are paired.
Both have handoff enabled on them.
With all that, I cannot for the life of me get handoff/continuity to work between them. I've reset both machines and reset network settings on the iPad but still no joy.
Am I missing something?
PS I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming it should work between an MBA and iPad?
Thanks in advance.Hello JMC1989,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like there is a problem with handoff. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Airdrop does not work between Mac and iPhone
Hi,
i have an iMac 27" late 2013 with OSX 10.10.1 on it and an
iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.1 installed.
Both have WiFi and Bluetooth turned on.
The iPhone can see all other iPhones around me but neither my iPhone nor alle the other iPhones can see my Mac and visa verse.
I could not yet test if the Mac is able to see any other mac in Airdrop because i have no other Mac around.
I already did a PRAM reset but that did not help.
Any suggestions?I think you have to be running the same OS on those two devices in order for AirDrop to function properly.
Aidrop is pretty much usless unless you are in a need to transfer files between your macbooks and iMacs and vice versa; how many average OS users have two macbooks or two iMacs????
But that's why a great number of Apple users would like to transfer their stuff from their iPads and their iPhones to their Macs every day. I really hope this is on the to-do list by Apple, otherwise it would be shame not to have Airdrop that is cross-platform functional.
