How to sync game saves on ipad

I just bought my Ipad, but if I add game apps to it that are on my iPhone, I have to start the game back at the beginning.  Is there a way to sync the two so that they will share the same save spot?

Game settings are part of the backup. You'll have to restore your iPad from the latest backup of the iPhone if you want the same game settings on it. But all other settings and data will be transferred as well from the phone, you can't just restore parts of the backup.

  • How NOT to sync game saves between devices?

    Hi there,
    I haven't been able to find out how NOT to automatically sync game saves between devices. I own both an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 and I do not want my progress in video games to be synchronized between the devices. There are no in-app settings in any of the games I own regarding this.
    Help please
    Rudy

  • HT5295 How to sync between iPhone and iPad?

    How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?

    Please elaborate - share what?
    Just guessing here...
    Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.

    For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.

  • How to transfer game saves

    I originally had an iPad 2 but then i got an itouch (4th Gen) and had some apps (infinity blade, plants vs zombies, pocket god, plague.inc) and work really hard on them and was wondering if i could take the app data from my iPad 2 and put them on my iPod touch. I also downloaded iexplorer as from another website on how to do this but I could only transfer my data from infinity blade. I have also looked at some other posts but I think I have been doing it wrong so it didn't work. If anybody has some other way to transfer the game saves i would really, really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    If they are same app for both the iPad and iPod then restoring the iPod from the backup of the iPad should work.  Some games store progress on a server and for those just log into your existing account.

  • HT1473 I just got a new computer and loaded Itunes. All my music is on my new Apple Ipod but I do not know how to sync it from the Ipad TO ITUNES so I can put all my playlists back on the computer for home sharing. Can anyone help with the answer? Thanks!

    How do you Sync Playlists (Music) from my ipod Nano TO ITUNES? I know how to sync it the other way, from the computer (Itunes) to the ipad, but I just got a new computer and all the music is only on my Ipod Nano. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks! Pete B

  • Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

    This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
    SETUP:
    1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
    2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
    MAILBOXES
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
    MAILBOXES
    REMINDER
    - Notes
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
    So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
    Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
    3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
    4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
    Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
    5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
    This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
    Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
    6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
    Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
    For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
    Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
    MAILBOXES
    REMINDERS
    -Notes
    --iPad Notes
    ON MY MAC
    RSS
    Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
    Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
    I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
    Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
    Good Luck.
    Steven

    Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
    I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
    Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
    How do I fix it?
    Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
    I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.

  • How to sync iPhone contacts to iPad contacts, having skipped iphone set up

    After buying iphone5c I skipped part of set up.  Now I want to make iphone sync to contacts on iPad.
    I have backed up iPad to iCloud, and the iPhone too, but can't seem to make them sync, nor find a way back to the initial setup menu to choose the option to connect to iCloud.  I think all other relevant options are turned on.

    You can sync contacts using iTunes so that each device you use (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) has the same information.
    If your contacts are hosted online (for example, using iCloud or Yahoo!), just set up your contact accounts on each device and computer you use. Then, your contacts are kept up to date everywhere.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac. If iTunes doesn’t open, open iTunes. 
    Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, and then select the “Sync contacts” checkbox.
    Select whether to sync all contacts or only the groups you select.
    Select any other options you want, and then click Apply. Your contacts are updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

  • How to sync photos currently on ipad with new pc/itunes library?

    Hi - old laptop crashed and just got new pc. how do i get photos on ipad onto new itunes library? thank you!

    Read this thread for help. Apparently you need a 3rd party app to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12969179&#12969179
    I just found this as well. I didn't read it closely, but maybe you don't need a 3rd party app after all. Read it closely. There is a section for transferring to a Windows PC.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    I tried the Apple Support advice. It will only work for the Saved Photos on your iPad - not the ones that were previously in your iTunes library. You DO need an app to transfer those.

    How do i sync those files wireless on my iphone?

    Hi,
    You can either use (a) Adobe Document Cloud or (b) AirDrop.
    (a) Adobe Document Cloud (the cloud storage formerly known as Acrobat.com)
    Acrobat DC for iOS provides the integrated support for Document Cloud.  (That's what "DC" stands for.)
    You can sign in with your Adobe ID, open documents from Document Cloud, and save or upload documents to Document Cloud in the Acrobat DC app (desktop or mobile).
    (b) AirDrop
    Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you would like to use AirDrop on your desktop/notebook computer, you need a Mac running Yosemite.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support

  • How to sync Chrome bookmarks to iPad Air

    I use Chrome on my Macs and would like to sync them to my new iPad Air. How can I do this?
    Thanks.

    Oh, if I only knew the answer to that question. Somewhere, somehow, something got screwed up with my "new" Apple ID and the underlying email accounts. I spoke on the phone to an Apple support guy who finally gave up after 30 minutes. As it stands now, all three devices see the same email messages - very good thing. However contacts, notes and anything else on the iMac are not shared on th iPhone and iPad. The goofy thing is that those items DO share between the iPhone and the iPad, but anything I do on either of those devices is not sync'd over to the iMac. I've spent so much time messing with it that my head hurts. I wish I could simply clear out all three and start over, but the way things have worked out so far, I'd probably wind up with NOTHING working. Very, very annoying.
