How to avoid iPad apps to sync onto my iPhone?
I just bought an iPad and am wondering, if I use the same account will it sync iPad apps that I will buy for it onto my iPhone via iCloud? At the momet we're running a macbook and 2 iPhones (nmine and my partner's) on the same account and apps one of us urchases sync automatically onto the other phone using iCloud. If I now use the same account to download iPad apps, that won't run on the iPhones, will iCloud still put them on the phones? Trying to avoid polluting our phones with apps that can't run on them.... can you advise?
They will only install on the iPhone if you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for apps on the phone (Settings > Store) - and even if you have it turned 'on' only those apps which are compatible will be installed (so if they are iPad only apps or if you don't have the relevant iOS version on the iPhone they won't be installed).
You may also want to turn off automatic syncing for apps when connected to your computer's iTunes (there should be a tick box on the device's Apps tab when connected to it).

Can iPad apps be synced onto MacBook or Do I have to repurchase them
I have had an iPad for a while and have a good few apps on it. Recently purchased a MacBook and was wandering if there's any way of syncing the iPad apps onto the MacBook or whether I have to repurchase them.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Just plug the iPad to your MacBook, open iTunes and go to the File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, so your applications will be transferred to the Mac. Note that you can't use the iPad applications on your Mac -

How come my ipad diary is syncing to mobile me calendar but not to ical on my imac desktop?
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Calendars & Reminders then reselect it.
Do the same for Notes
On your iPhone and iPod. Tap Settings > ICloud
Switch Calendars off then back on. Same for Notes.
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync data. -

Why won't my applications sync onto my iPhone?
The applications I buy from the apps store on my computer won't sync onto my iPhone when I connect it. It won't let me check the sync box or anything on the apps page of my iTunes. Anyone know how to fix it?
I'm having the same issue. In the iTunes interface, the 'Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected.' is also greyed out. I just got back from the Apple store where they backed up and restored the phone from backup and then I did a sync. I'm on the 2.2 firmware and still don't have an app store on my phone.
Can anyone help? -
Hi,
I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3 years. i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new. now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs? can i put that data on my ipad?Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup. -
How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
LauraI have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -

i updated itunes 11.1 yesterday and now im trying to get my music on itunes to sync onto my iphone 4s but when i connect it through usb...Itunes is saying " waiting for changes to be applied"? so i dont know what to do cause i just want to sync my music from itunes to my iphone 4s
I had the same problem and the fix was so easy that I felt a little silly after spending 2 hours with an Apple Technician. At the end of it all, what I had to do was make sure ALL music was deleted from my iPhone 5 by going into usage and clearing out the music folder. All I had to do then was turn my phone off and turn it back on again. I had not done this after my phone upgraded to the new 7.0 IOS. What's the first thing you do when experiencing computer problems? Reboot! It fixed my problem and now my iPhone 5 synchs perfectly when I had it connected to my computer. I am also on iTunes version 11.1.
