How to synch messages between ipad and iphone?

I see older info on this but nothing current: how do I synch messages between my iphone and ipad?  Only some of them synch, and not necessarily only those sent from other iphones. I'm using OS7.

The new info is the same as the old info. Nothing has changed.
You have to use the iPhone number as the contact address on both devices. Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You have to select the phone number in there for both devices.
Try signing out of Messages on both devices and start all over again. Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off. Restart both devices and then turn Messages on again on both devices starting with the phone.
Messages only work with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.

    How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
    If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
    Thank you

  • How to share Lists between ipad and iphone

    I have Notes on my ipad and iphone. Both have iCloud Sharing turned on. I am not able to share the Notes between the two devices so I can view the lists and notes on both. How do I do this??

    Also check Any Exchange accounts that you might be using - including any paid Google apps accounts. Look in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars to be notes synching is off for those accounts.

  • How can I differentiate between iPad and iPhone iMessages for the same contact?

    I have my sister in law's email and phone number all in the same contact. She iMessages me from both her iPad and her phone. They come up as two different iMessage conversations, but they both are under her name. When I go to text her I don't know if I'm sending it to her iPhone or iPad. Anyone know if there's anyway to differentiate? Sometimes looking at what was previously said in the conversation helps but I can't always remember (nor do I know which device he was messaging me from in the previous convo). Thanks all

    Try scrolling to the top of the conversation and tapping Contact.  You will then see the originating address highlighted in blue on the contact.  If the iPad and iPhone are creating two different conversations, chances are if the email address is highlighted it's coming from the iPad; if the phone number is highlighted it's coming from the iPhone (although not necessarily).  To know for sure you would have to ask her to check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tell you which is checked under "Start new conversations from" on both devices to know for sure.

  • HT5826 can't synch ibooks between ipad and iphone

    Have done everything that
    HT5826: iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices, says and still no complete synch between iphone and ipad

    Yes it is, but it's also quite understandable. Apple has no way to know where non-iBookstore ebooks originated and whether they're legal copies or not, so they can't risk the liability of making possibly copyright infringing copies of them, automatically sending them to multiple devices. If you do it via manual syncs with iTunes however the legal liability is with you if they're illegal copies. Thus you can't store slide-loaded ebooks in iCloud or have them automatically sent to all your devices like you can with books purchased from the iBookstore.
    Maybe one day Apple will be able to convince the publishers to allow them to implement an iBooks Match scheme like the iTunes Match scheme for music, but given the notorious conservatism of book publishers and the difficulty of automatically fingerprinting books with many different editions vs music recordings for matching purposes I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • 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!

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

  • 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.

    I have an apple id and an me.com address. I've turned icloud on my macbookpro and my ipad. However, notes does not ever synchronize between the two. "It just works" seems to be misleading. Apparently some set up is required?

    Hello,

    I've got my notes on my Mac, on my iPhone, on icloud.com and everything synchronizes.
    But despite the same settings on the iPhone and on the iPad there's any notes on the iPad app.
    There must be something i miss
    thanks a lot in advance for your help

  • How to sync messages between computer and iPhone?

    Is there a way to automatically sync messages on my mac with messages on my iPhone?  Currently if I receive a message it appears on both the Mac and the phone.  However, if I delete the message from the iPhone it is not deleted from messages on my Mac until I do so manually.  Thanks!

    "Currently if I receive a message it appears on both the Mac and the phone.  However, if I delete the message from the iPhone it is not deleted from messages on my Mac until I do so manually."
    That's the way it's going to work. Manually.
    But to make sure post in the iPhone forum where those experts are.

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone

    Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone (IOS 8).

    Hi raydela,
    I understand your calls aren't being transferred between devices.
    Check out the troubleshooting in this article.
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8
    If a call doesn't transfer to your other devices, or you don't see the Handoff icons
    Make sure that your devices are using iOS 8 or later by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
    Check your settings:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
    Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
    Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and turn on Handoff.
    Go to Settings > Phone and turn off Wi-Fi Calling.

    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.
