How to sync different apps to iPhone and iPad in the same library on same laptop

Hi, I own a iphone and my brother owns a ipad. I have my own apps on my iphone, and he has his own apps on his ipad. When I first connected my iphone to my macbook, all my apps were backed up on my computer. Now today, I connected my brother's ipad to my library, it started syncing the apps that were stored in my library to his ipad, and vice versa. I don't want that, neither does he. How do I stop this? Please help

I found out that by holding down the option key on the macbook pro keyboard and clicking itunes icon, it gives me an option to create a separate library. This is very very convenient and organized! This enables me to keep my brother's and my stuff separate in itunes in two different libraries WITHOUT making a separate user account on my laptop. I LOVE APPLE

  • Syncing Different Apps to iPhone and IPad

    I sync both my iPhone and iPad through iTunes on my desktop. The way they sync is that iPad apps only go to the iPad, but iPhone apps go to both. I would like to sync iPad apps to the iPad and some, but not all, iPhone apps. Is there a way to sync different apps to each device?
    Thanks

    It sounds like you activate/synced your iPad on another computer already. An iPad (and other devices) can only be synced to one computer. Therefore, if you since to your computer you will lose all your apps, and more importantly, all the information associated with those apps. You can get the apps back by just re-downloading them. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account you used the first time.

    I have a question. I just got a new ipad. However, I have had an itouch for a long time and have many itouch apps in my itunes library.
    I just connected the ipad for the first time since I started downloading apps on it. I see the ipad picture to the right. If I check "Sync applications", it says "all existing apps and their data on the ipad will be replaced with apps from this library". Does this mean I will lose the ipad specific apps I just bought/downloaded directly from the app store to my ipad?
    I know you can use itouch apps on the ipad, but I am afraid this first sync will cause me to lose stuff.
    help!!
    thanks.

    If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

  • How to sync mailboxes / folders between iPhone and iPad

    How does one sync email folders between iPhone and iPad ?

    Hi Doc,
    I have just been on the phone to Apple for over 2 hours ! Both devices were already on IMAP . It turned out that one particular folder was a rogue and did not sync between desktop, iPhone and iPad. I created a new folder dragged every email into it from my desk top , deleted the original folder and all emails in that folder are now synched. Even Apple was baffled but the problem is now resolved so thank you for your assistance .

  • I have iPhone and iPad with the same apple ID. How to share both my devices for Find My Friends ?

    Hi -
    I have an iPhone and an iPad using the same apple ID. I'm unable to share location from both the devices at the same time for "Find My Friends". I am only able to pick one device. Any help to share both the devices is greatly appreciated.

    Find my friends is designed to locate DIFFERENT Apple ID's.  So if you want to use FMF for this purpose, you would need to create a different apple ID for one of your devices.
    OR, you could use the Find My iPhone App.  Which will display ALL of your devices.

  • Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

    I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all.  I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server.  I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
    I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------"  Enter you password again or cancel."  I am using the correct password.  iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine.  iMac just ends up repeating this message.
    Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
    I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • How to have different contacts between iphone and ipad

    I would like to have seperate contact lists.
    Private
    Business
    etc
    is it possible that only business contacts are shown on my ipad?
    How do I manage apps/contacts etc that I do not want on the Ipad that are on the iphone?
    Thanks

    Contacts lists for the two devices will only sync if you have them set up to do so: Open the Settings App > iCloud, then turn off Contacts. This also means that the device you turn this function off for will not back up the contacts list. If that is an issue, you may need to consider creating a second AppleID for iCloud purposes only.
    If you are getting automatica downloads of apps and such: Settings app > itunes&App Stores > turn off automatic downloads.

  • Syncing PoketLife app between iPhone and iPad.

    I have the PocketLife calendar app on my iPhone 4s and want to sync it with my new iPad. I've already downloaded the app on my ipad from my appstore account. It pulled in all my templates but not my saved calendar items.  I've tried all I know to do and the app's information says it should work. Can anyone help?

    Yes iBooks can only be bought via the iBookstore which is only accessible via the iBooks app (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). I don't think that if you purchase it on your iPhone that it will automatically appear on the iPad, but she should be able to (re-)download it for free (as long as she is using the same account as you purchase it with (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059) :
    Yes, you may be able to redownload certain books from the iBookstore, free of charge. To redownload a book, tap Store, then tap Purchases. Find the book you wish to download again and tap Redownload. You must be logged in to the iTunes account from which you originally purchased the book in order to redownload a title.
    You can also make a backup of the book(s) on your Mac by copying it off your iPhone (File > Transfer Purchases), just in case it ever gets removed from the iBookstore and therefore can't be re-downloaded from it.

  • TS3899 hi - why can't i delete emails once from iphone and ipad at the same time?

    When I delete emails from the iphone they still appear in the ipad. Why? How can I delete from both devices at the same time?

    You can and it should be automatic depending on your refresh rate.  If your phone and iPad refresh every hour, or only on request, then the iPad will not show the change until you refresh the email account.
    Next time you delete emails, try it....Refresh the screen on the iPad.
    This only works if iPad has internet connection.

  • HT201077 Why are my photos on my iphone and ipad not the same?

    My camera roll and photo stream on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 are not the same.  I have the same apple id for both and both devices are running ios 7.0.4.
    Any ideas?

    The camera roll contains photos actually taken on your device, or saved from text messages, emails, websites, etc.  Because of this you shouldn't expect both devices to have the same photos in the camera roll.
    The my photo stream album is also usually differerent on your devices.  This happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though they stay on your devices longer).  When you enable photo stream on a device, it can only receive photo stream photos still in iCloud, which are those from the last 30 days.  A consequence of this is that unless you enabled photo stream on both devices within 30 days of each other, one is likely to end up with fewer photo stream photos than the other.
