How do I sync iMessages between iPad and iPhone on iOS 6?

Haven't found anything online that was helpful as most of the references pertained to older iOS version or not the iPhone 5.

Hello Kenny,
Thank you for your question.  Deleting messages on one device will not delete the message on your other devices, but you can choose to disable iMessage or unlink your phone number. 
You can disable iMessage on your iPad by going to Settings > Messages.

Alternatively, you can unlink your phone number from your Apple ID on your iPhone if you would only like to receive messages that are sent to your Apple ID on your iPad:
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

  • Unsure how to sync ibooks between ipad and iphone

    A few months ago I downloaded an extensive collection of work documents, in pdf format. They've been saved in ibooks on my iphone. After having synced my phone to my itunes, I currently see that I have those documents in Itunes. However, not knowing how to sync between iphone and ipad, I had uploaded those documents manually to my ipad via email. Now I have some mismatching documents in ibooks. I am wondering how to rectify this. I wonder if I could erase my ipad, and restart it as a new ipad, then sync it with my itunes on my computer, in order to upload the appropriate documents into ibooks. Thoughts?? Thank you!

    PDF's don't sync between devices in iBooks, if you want to do that use something like Adobe reader.

  • How do i sync emails between iPad and Macbook Pro

    I have the iiPad2 with WiFi. I remember that I used iSync in the past between my Macbook and desktop unit. I also am signed up with me.com. Can anybody please advise me what's the best way to sync my emails? I use Apple's mail program. Thanks.

    iSync has never synced email or anything between Macs.
    To sync email you need to set your account up as IMAP (not POP3) on your iPad and Mac.
    If you are using your MobileMe email address and have configured your MobileMe account on both Mac and iPad, then your email is automatically in sync.

  • How do I sync both an iPad and iPhone 4 to the same iMac?

    I am combining the functions of a PC desktop and PC Laptop onto a new iMac. I do have VMware's Fusion to run Windows 7 Home Premium, but I'd really like to sync both my iPad (first generation) and iPhone 4 to the Mac and move away from the Windows platform. I used to sync each device to a separate PC. How can I sync both devices to the iMac? In addition, with iCloud, can I determine which apps are synced to each device since some apps are designed for the iPhone and don't have corresponding iPad versions (with full screen size). There are apps for the iPad only that shouldn't be synced to the iPhone. I'd appreciate any advice from folks who sync two portable devices to one Mac system.

    Just plug the two devices into the Mac, as if the other one didn't exist. iTunes will keep them separate and allow you control sync of apps and media content as you wish.
    As to iCloud, for the iTunes in the Cloud feature, if you use the same iTunes Store account on both the iPad and the iPhone, you'll want to turn off the automatic download option in the Settings -> Store preference pane on your devices. Then you can sync, download and update as you wish on each device.
    Regards.

  • Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

    Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac.  I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
    Thanks in advance
    Conor 

    Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud.  You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
    On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked.  Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
    On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
    After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

  • Can u sync messages between ipad and iphone

    I have IPAD2 and Iphone 3GS, how can I receive all messages on both devices?

    Thanks for the info.  My devices are now in sync after applying the changes as recommended.  However, I need to add one more thing for this to work.  The other party would also need to specify their apple-id in caller-id.  The synchronization worked after I changed my children's Iphones caller id's to their respective apple-ids.  Maybe coincidence but it worked for me......hope this helps.

  • How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

    I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick.  Now I just keep going round in circles.  It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic.

  • Can i sync bookmarks between ipad and iphone when apple ids are different

    I have two different apple ids, one for my iphone and one for my ipad. I want to sync iTunes and bookmarks.  Can i do this with different ids?  Or should I change the iPhone id (its new) to the same id as my iPad. thanks Seattle Jimmy

  • New Apple ID email has caused sync issues between iPad and iPhone

    I changed the email of my Apple ID and made sure to save photos and delete old iCloud backups. The calendar noon get syncs but instead eats any new events. Photos from my iPad appear on my iphone but it doesn't work the other way around. Instead my iPad still has an iCloud photo album from my previous Apple ID email. I've made sure that my email is updated on both devices and that everything syncs to iCloud and has been recently backed up. I even deleted the new backups and did it again. I turned off photo steam and turned it back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One more detail, even in iTunes, I do not have photo albums being synced from my computer. I just have photo stream with iCloud.

    I'm not sure what caused the issues but backing everything up and restoring both devices has fixed photo stream as well as notes/calendar icloud issues. It even syncs to my computer again! The icloud photo album from the old apple id email is also gone.

  • ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

    I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4.  I put iOS5 on both of them.  My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices.  I did this and the apps do not push to my other device.  I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters.  I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account.  What am I doing wrong?  Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

    I believe you are misunderstanding.  You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this.  There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it.  However, this is for new downloads only.
    For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes.  Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

  • Pages not updating iCloud between iPad and IPhone

    Can somebody please help?
    My Pages app won't stream the current documents to my iPhone using iCloud .
    I've tried everything I could possibly do. I've deleted the Pages app off my iPhone and started again. It just won't update the current documents that reflect on my iPad.
    It just has the arrows pointing upwards on the top right hand corner of quite a few documents. This is suggesting that there is no Internet connection when there is. I've tried it over WiFi and on 2 separate Bluetooth pairings with 2 iPhones. Each time it is connected with the Internet but the arrows still suggest otherwise.
    I have turned every possible iCloud on in every area. Turned them off then on, reset my phone from scratch doing a clean install not using a previous back up. Still didn't work...  Then going back and resetting using a previous back up... Still didn't work :(
    I have a 6 month old Mac Mini, the latest iPhone  5 and one month old iPad 4 with the current software updates.....
    Please help
    Regards Gareth
