  • Syncing iMessage between devices

    I have just an iPad, using iMessage with friends who have both iPads and iPhones. I know I can use their email address to be received by their iPads, and use their phone numbers to be received by iPhones. But I'd like to be able to message them so they receive messages on both devices. How would they get messages to be received by both their devices?

    I have  already unchecked and checked etc. My problem is the minute I turn iMessage on again, say from using my iPhone all day, to moving to my mini at night, EVERY CONVERSATION I've had AND deleted loads on the newly turned on device.
    Or on my computer when I pull up iMessage for the weekend...
    I realize I can turn it off but the reload has me baffled.
    Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.

  • Trouble syncing iMessages between devices

    My iPhone 5S had its OS erased by the update yesterday, but most things were synced to my iPad so it wasn't too bad. My iMessages from before my phone crashed are visible on my iPad, but they are not syncing with my phone. Can I get them back on my phone somehow, through iCloud or something else?
    Also, before my phone crashed, my iMessages used to arrive simultaneously between my phone and my iPad. Now, they are only visible on both devices if they are sent through my phone - otherwise, they are only visible on my iPad. How can I fix this?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    I'm having the same problem with apps not syncing between my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. I made sure under settings > iTunes & Apps Store that automatic Download is on and selected for Music, Apps, Books, and Updates. Have you gotten a resolution to that issue?

  • IBooks bookmarks syncing incorrectly between devices

    I have a book I am reading on iBooks on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, my iPhone 5s with iOS 7, and my iPod touch 4g, which has iOS 6. I have each device set up to sync bookmarks and collections between devices, but the bookmarks keep syncing incorrectly. For example: I am reading on my iPhone, and I drop a bookmark 2 pages away from the end of chapter 40. If I open the book on my iPod touch it does not show the current bookmark, but an old one from earlier in the chapter. Another example: I am reading on my iPod touch, and I drop a bookmark two pages away from the end of chapter 40. This time, I open the book on my iPhone, and it has placed a new bookmark at chapter 39! I open the book on my MacBook Pro after that, and a bookmark has been placed at the beginning go chapter 40!
    So, there you have it. I place a bookmark on one device, and the other two devices place bookmarks in completely different places on the book.
    All of my devices have the same Apple ID, and both of the mobile devices are synced with iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks.

    The only info that syncs via iCloud for iBooks is collection lists (not the books themselves), Bookmarks, and Notes.
    The Books themselves can be automatically downloaded if they are coming from the store.  On the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Turn on Automatic Downloads for Books.  Same thing can be done on the Mac in preferences.
    Since your Books are not from the store, the only way to get them on both devices is to download them to both devices.  This will never occur automatically.  This also goes for PDFs you add to your iBooks
    Hope that helps solve the mystery.
    iBooks: How to sync iBooks between devices
    If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
    You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.

    That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

    Create an account for him. and use that.
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option.

  • I cannot sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.

    I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?

    So, my DNS is comming from my ISP.  It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
    The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
    Soooooo,  there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1? 

  • Syncing apps between devices

    I'm having difficulty syncing some apps between devices so that data is saved. I recently purchased an iPad mini for my daughter and want her to have some of her existing game apps to play, and then delete from my iPad. Anyone encountered the same, or any solutions?

  • Firefox sync not syncing data between device

    Although Firefox sync syncing, data does not advice.

    It worked!! Thank you so much! Now, may I ask what happened? I feel like if this sort of thing happens again in the future I will have a better understanding of exactly what '''services.sync.clusterURL''' is and why resetting it resolves syncing issues. FYI I deleted some empty folders that were created when this whole issue started and forced an immediate sync and the problem device was no longer a problem. I performed this action on my laptop i.e. the problem device and on my desktop PC so I could thoroughly test the two-way communication and after syncing on either device the changes were reflected on the other.

  • Syncing reminders between devices

    I use the Reminders app on my ipad - creating lists in the Exchange area - therefore seeing uncompleted tasks on Outlook when I log in, which is great.
    My query is, if I was to purchase an ipod touch, and set up using the same apple ID, would all my reminder lists sync between the 2 devices or is this where iCloud comes into play?  I notice I can create lists in the Reminders app under the iCloud option - but I like the fact I get a prompt in Outlook - hence why I create them under the Exchange area.
    Hope this makes sense!
    Many thanks

    ps, just tried this from another thread:
    I was having this problem. I changed the syncing range on the phone (under Settings > Reminders) to sync "All Reminders". I then logged into iCloud and opened the Reminders tab. This actually caused the reminders on the phone to match the ones in iCloud.  I then made changes on my phone while that tab was still opened and the changes started to appear in iCould (sometimes takes a few seconds - up to 20 or 30) and synched on my iPad as well. After that, all of my changes started to sync across all devices - iPhone, iPad,Mac and in iCloud, regardless of where I made the initial change.
    This works to some degree but just deleted all the reminders from my iPhone that hadn't been synced to the iCloud. Hmmmmm... Not a fix I'd recommend but I guess it works

  • Syncing emails between devices

    i would like to have my emails synced between devices. if i delete on my imac, they should delete on my iphone and ipad. isn't this what syncing is supposed to do?

    No.
    This is what IMAP does.  You need to use an IMAP account (versus POP) and then mail is stored on the mail server and you will get the same mail in the same state on all devices.
    Who are you using for Mail?  Not every service provides an IMAP account.  But iCloud mail is IMAP, and is available for free from Apple.

  • HT5372 Does icloud sync bookmarks between devices?

    Hi there,
    Previously, when I synced my iphone to my macbook pro using itunes, the bookmarks in safari including those in the bookmark bar, were synced too. Does icloud sync bookmarks in safari between devices? Thanks.

    Thanks. That worked. Unfortunately, I guess the way I did it, it synced in the wrong direction so I've lost all the bookmarks I'd added to safari on my laptop since the last time these synced. :-(  That's one aspect of icloud I find scary and frustrating.

  • Syncing Contacts between devices

    I want to sync Contacts between an iMac (OSX 10.6.8), an iPad (ios 5), an iPad2 (ios 6), and an iPhone 4s (ios 6).  I'd like to combine all of them without creating duplicates, if possible.  After the initial combination, I'd like to be able to make entries on any of the devices and re-sync the others using the iMac as the master.  Any suggestions? Also, if there's a better forum to post this question, please let me know.
