How to turn off syncing between My iPad and iPhone

Every time I send an iMessage or text message from my iPhone, it shows up on my iPad's iMessage app. This also works vice versa. This is quite annoying because if I get a text message (or phone call) while I'm out, the iPad will ring and give of all my notification sounds at home.

Hi Joshua.Clapper,
I understand you no longer want to receive messages and sms on your iPad. You can do this by disabling SMS Relay, or by signing out of iMessage entirely. The following articles offer further guidance:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn iMessage off and back on
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

My note has stopped syncing between my ipad and iphone

Note has stopped syncing between my ipad and my iphone. Can anybody help please?

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

Once Imessage has been set up and sync between your ipad and iPhone. Then sign out of the imessage account on your ipad, if you were to sign back in would any conformation email or text be sent to you again informing you that you are now signed back in?

I have the new iPad and iPhone 4s. iMessage has already been set up syncing these two devices before, but I am now logged out on my iMessage on the iPad but still logged in on the iPhone.
My question is, if I sign back into the iMessage on my iPad will Apple send any confirmation to my Email address or phone number stating that I am now receiving iMessages etc on both the iPad and iPhone and that these's two devices are now synced again?!?
*please note that the two devices have been previously set up for iMessage and synced to both receive them, it's just a case of me signing back in on the iPad, but I would like to know if Apple send any confirmation that a certain device is now receiving the messages also, I'm assuming they must for security reasons but I guess if you've already set up the two devices they might not.
Any help would be great, thank you

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

When trying to use icloud, my picture doesn't sync between my ipad and iphone. Additionally, for photo sharing, my wife's icloud picture is mine. Why?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) and an iPad 2 (iOS 8.1). My wife has an iPhone 5 (iOS 8.0.2). I have been trying to set up our icloud accounts so that it will be ready when we buy a mac in January.
When I set up my icloud, the little circular picture that I used on my iPhone 5s did not sync up with the one on my iPad. They are both under the same ID, but it would not automatically sync up. Additonally, I set up a icloud phot album between my wife and I for pictures of our little one. On my phone, when I go to "people" that are synced to that album, it shows my wife and myself, but they both have my picture. And when I do the same on my iPad, it shows a blank for me but my picture for my wife. Confused. Can someone help?
Thanks!!
Derek

This old thread might help you out.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1108754
There are also many applications that will grab data from your phone and download it to your computer without using iTunes. That might be the easiest solution. I suggest you check out http://www.macroplant.com. I have not used their software but it tends to be well reviewed.

IBook is not syncing between my iPad and iPhone

When I read a book on my iPad and lets say I stop and bookmark chatper 15, close the book and exit out of the app. Then go to my iPhone to keep reading from the same chapter it see that Chapter 14 is bookmarked. The same goes when I read and bookmark chapter 18 on my iPhone and when I go to my iPad chapter 19 is bookmarked. Is this a sync issue that only Apple can fix or can I do something in my devices to fix it?

If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

HT204053 My calender won't sync between my ipad and iphone. My apple ID is different from my icloud ID. I never had this issue before the last os upgrade. How do I fix this?

After my last OS software upgrade, the calendar and contact list will not sync with each other. My ipad is correct but some contacts and calendar information disappeared from my iphone. How do I fix this?

I need to change my email adress too. i want it to be the same in icloud as my appleID is. When I set up icloud, it wouldn't allow me to use my appleid. Anyone?

My calendar won't sync between my ipad and iPhone?

Using two iPhone 4's and a 2nd gen ipad. The calendars will not sync. What am I doing wrong?

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can the reminders app sync between an ipad and iphone 5

When looking in settings, then in Icloud. it shows that it will sync.
however it does not seem to sync with my iphone 5.
Any help would be great.

Check to see if all your contacts are correct on iCloud.com from a web browser on your MacBook.
Is so then on your MacBook:
System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck Contacts, wait for it to finish then check it again.
This should force a re-push from iCloud.com

Splitting music between iPod, iPad and iPhone

Hello all!
As the owner of all three of the above devices, I wonder sometimes what is the best way to split music between them. I have my entire library on my iPod classic but wonder how I should split things between my iPad and iPhone...Any advice?

You can sync whatever you like to each device.
You can sync by playlist, genre, album, artist, etc.

How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.
