How do I sync my iPhone and iPad?

Go to Settings>iCloud on either your iPhone or iPad, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turn on the data you want to sync (contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc.).  If you want to use iCloud email (or want to sync notes, which requires an iCloud email account), turn on Mail and choose your iCloud email address.  If you want to stream photos take on one device to the other, tap Photos, then turn on My Photo Stream (and also Photo Sharing if you want to share any of your photos with others).  If you want to be able to locate your device when lost, and to enable the activation lock security measure, turn on Find My iPhone (highly recommended).  If you want to back up your device to iCloud tap Storage & Backup and turn on iCloud Backup.
Once you have these settings the way you want them, go to Settings>iCloud on your other device, sign in with the same iCloud ID and turn on the same settings.  After that, iCloud will keep your data consistent between your iPhone and iPad and (optionally) stream photos between them and back them up to iCloud.

  • HT201272 How can I sync my iPad and iPhone without a PC?

    How can I sync iPad to iPhone, so I can download a purchased TV movie?   Is there a way to reset the security questions?

    You can download all previous purchases to any device ascociated to your account, just go in the iTunes app on your device and go to the more section then to the purchases and find your desired purchase to redownload. As for reseting security questions it is possible, it's best to attempt to do it on your computer as doing it on your device isn't ideal. https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • Pictures in the albums I want but now how do I re sync my iPad and iPhone with them?

    ok I got my pictures in the albums I want but now how do I re sync my iPad and iPhone with them?

    Are you using iCloud Photo Library? Then syncing is automatic and your mobile devices should be showing the same albums automatically.
    See:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    If you are not sing iCloud Photo Library, use iTunes to sync selected albums to your mobile devices.
    For more information and instructions for transferring photos using iTunes, open iTunes, then choose Help > iTunes Help, or see:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • TS1324 I have synced my Ipad and Iphone and my Icloud storage is full now, I want to unsync so I can use both of their Icloud storages separately, how can I do that?!!

    I have synced my Ipad and Iphone and my Icloud storage is full now, I want to unsync them so I can use both of their Icloud storages separately, how can I do that?!!

    Your iCloud storage is linked to your Apple ID, you can't unlink the devices unless you use separate Apple ID's for each device. That's not a good idea as you will have to pay for the same purchases twice on each device and you don't want to do that.
    Backup with iTunes where the size of you backup is only limited by the a amount of available space that you have on your computer, buy more storage in iCloud, or .... and this makes no sense either but it is a possibility ... remove one of the devices from iCloud and backup one in iTunes. If you are going to backup with iTunes, backup both devices with iTunes and leave iCloud alone.
    You don't need to backup with iCloud if you backup with iTunes and you can still download your past purchases without having to actually use iCloud for backups.

  • 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. 

  • My laptop quit so how do I connect my ipad and iPhone to the new one and make it work?

    My laptop quit so how do I connect my ipad and iPhone to the new one and make it work?

    Hello Tamthom,
    It sounds like you would like to sync your phone to your new computer. I would start by using the following article to transer your iTunes and App Store purchases to your computer from your phone.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    Note: If you had content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store you will need to re import the content from its original media, to your iTunes library separately.
    Then backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    After your puchases are transferred, and your device is backed up you can Erase and Sync the device, and restore your backup to it, that way moving forward you can sync it like you used to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • How do I sync my iPad to iPhone 5 both on ios7

    How do I sync my iPad to iPhone including photo stream , I have icloud , I have more pics on my iPhone than my iPad
    And how do I save photo's from an email into my photo stream ?
    Thanks
    Regards
    [email protected]

    Photostream works only from the time it is set up on an iDevice. This means it will capture only those photos streamed from setup on. It will not grab past photos.
    You cannot save photos from email directly into PhotoStream, you save them into Camera Roll. If you have setup PhotoStream, they will be pushed to iCloud and distributed from there to your other connected devices.

    Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
    This might work for you.
