HT201272 How come apps download to an IPhone but not an IPad?

I just downloaded an app that I want on my IPad but it only came in on my IPhone. How do I get it on the IPad and not the phone?

Is it an ipad app?
Is it a universal app - noted by the "+" ( that works on both iphone and ipad)?
If it is not, then it will not work on an ipad.
You need an ipad app or a universal app in order for it to work on an ipad

How to get downloaded material off Iphone but leave on Ipad.

I have downloaded some items for my Ipad. I same username for both my Ipad and my Iphone. I don't want these things on my Iphone, just my Ipad. These include movies, albums etc. How do I remove them? I have an Iphone 4s and don't have an option to slide and delete as I have seen mentioned already.

Hi nyKenny
I had a similar issue - my external hard drive died and I lost everything!
I used iExplorer (free) to explore my iPad, iPod and iPhone and extract the things I wanted.
For ebooks, once tghe program is installed, select 'Books' in the explorer window on the left. Select them all in the right hand window (they look funny, with letters and numbers as their labels), and drag these into a new window on your PC. Once all transferred, these can then be dragged into iTunes library, where iTunes will unravel them and sort them back into the books you so lovingly transferred.
I hope this helps, it worked perfectly for me (thankfully).
PS Open the program BEFORE connecting the iPad, the program seems to crash if an iDevice is already connected when you open.

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

It's a glitch with facebook. All you can do is wait for FB to fix it or find a work around like third party apps that might work better

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

Wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad

wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad???

You do NOT have to plug the iPad into a power source to sync with WiFi. I sync without plugging my iPad every day. Like Dah-veed, I do not auto sync. If you have all of the settings configured correctly, the iPad does not have to be plugged in to a power source to sync with WiFi.
The iPad will sync AUTOMATICALLY, if the iPad is plugged into a power source and if iTunes is running on your computer. It does not have to be plugged in to sync manually.
When is set up to sync wirelessly - I made the selections like Dah-veed indicated above and then I clicked on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to lock in the setting. You have to apply the changes that you make in the iTunes sync process.
BTW - I have the original iPad - not the iPad 2.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

I use Messages on iPhone and iPad. Photos come in on iPhone, but not on iPad.

I use Messages on iPhone and iPad. Photos appear on iPhone message, but not on iPad message.

This did help but I had to play with it a little. I had previously turned face time off on her ipad. I had to turn it on and then go in and do Settings>FaceTime>iPhone cellular calls>OFF. Then I was able to turn face time back off and it kept the other settings that I had changed. Thank you!!!!!

I can message a friend from my iphone but not my ipad. Why?

Why can I message all contacts on iphone but not all on ipad?

iMessage on an iPad only works with other iOS Apple devices. But there are some SMS text apps for the iPad.
To send messages to non-Apple devices, check out the TextFree app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/text-free-textfree-sms-real/id399355755?mt=8

Calendar entry syncs in to my iPhone but not my iPad

I have a really strange problem where a few calendar entries do not sync to my my iPad but are in my iPhone.
They are complex entries (Reoccurring, different time zones, and meeting invite) but they do appear in my iPhone but not iPad. The settings on both devices are identical, and I've tried to delete the calendar DB from the iPad and re-sync. Same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I've worked out that is it not syncing meeting requests that I have sent....any ideas?

Can call friend on iPhone but not on ipad...

A friend tried calling me on Skype. Both my ipad and iphone are set up. His call came through on the iPhone but not on my ipad. I asked him to hang up, and I then tried calling him on my ipad. I got the usual 'trying to connect' message but he didn't get anything... He was able to call back on the iPhone only....
Help! What's going on?
By the way, I had a 40 minute call with one of my other colleagues on the ipad yesterday...so that was working okay.

sms is short message service it's 100% a cell network thing and 100% not! an Internet thing
iMessage is an IM which when on the internet and sending to an apple device send the msg as an IM (this mean instant message) and when not it send it as an sms
macs can't send sms they not being cell phones so they can only send to the apple users not other used who would require a sms

Can not open new apps downloaded on my iphone, can not open new apps downloaded on my iphone

i have downloaded new apps fr apple store. after syncing it with my iphone, all new apps downloaded can not be open.. help

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

Idisk app: delete file from iphone but NOT idisk?

maybe i'm missing something but how do you delete a downloaded file from just your iphone? when i tap the delete button in the downloaded file window it deletes it from my idisk.

Jeff Stone1 wrote:
well that is sort of what i thought. when the app was originally previewed it was stated that you can VIEW your documents stored on your idisk. but the mobileme page on the apple site says that you can DOWNLOAD files to your iphone.
i just looked and i only see where you can view and share files but i don't see anything about downloading files.
on a side note why is the icon blue didn't it change from blue to a pink with the change from .mac to mobile me.

Deleting downloaded email from iphone but not web server

I recently purchased an iphone 3gs. My wife has had an iphone 3g for over a year. I am having a problem deleting email on my 3gs. Whenever my wife downloads mail to her phone, she can delete if off her phone but leave it on the web server for our internet provider. This way we can still download all of our mail into Oulook on our home computer. Whenever I download email to my 3gs and delete it from my phone it also deletes it from our web server and either puts iit in the web server trash or on my iphone trash folder, whichever I have it set to go. How do I set up my iphone 3gs so that after I download email to my iphone 3gs, I can delete it from the iphone 3gs and not delete the web server version?

Does the email account provider for the account support accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account?
If so, it sounds like your wife is accessing the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail application and you are accessing the account as an IMAP account.
