I've can't sync my ipad and Imac because I've registered different email addresses with each. What should I do?

Hi,
I've recently bought an Ipad2 and wanted to use Pages on it - which I bought when I got my Imac a year before. However, because I've registered different email addresses with each device, I can't get these devices to recognise that I own them both. What should I do?
Thanks,
Chris

I highly recommend having a single account.  Choose one or the other and make all future purchases on that.  With one account you can share apps between a certain number of devices, but with separate accounts you have to buy multiple copies of what you want.
Also, Pages for the computer and Pages for iOS are different programs.

  • Can i sync my iPad and iPhone without hooking it up to a computer

    can i sync my ipad and iphone without hooking it up to a computer

    That all depends on what you mean by sync. If you want to share iTunes content such as music, apps and videos, then yes, they both must be logged in to the same iTunes store account.
    If you want to sync contacts, calendars, notes and reminders, again the answer is yes, you just need to sync them to the same iCould account.
    For non-iTunes music there's iTunes Match.
    To sync photos there' Photo Stream.
    It there something else you want to sync that I have missed?

    Upgrade to the newest version of iTunes first to see if that helps.

    Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

  • Can i sync an ipad and iphone on the same computer

    I've got an iPhone 3GS and am thinking of getting an iPad 2 as well.  How does syncing the 2 devices on the same computer work?  Also, can I share Apps that I have purchased across the 2 devices, or do you have to pay for them twice?

    I am syncing my iPad and my iPod Touch using iTunes on the same computer.
    It's even possible to connect both devices at the same time to iTunes.
    Yes, apps are shared between devices, but only if those apps are actually able to run on both devices.
    You therefore only need to buy a certain app once and use it on your two devices.
    Your devices are in fact administratively attached to your Apple ID.

  • I have an iPad and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent email to.

    I have an iPad 2 and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent mail to.

    Email addresses that are not in your Contacts app but which still show up in Mail will disappear after a period of time when they are unused. Just ignore them and they will eventually go away.

  • HT201342 Can I have different email address with my iCloud mailbox

    I have a website and would like to have my email address with the same name ex: [email protected] linked to my iCloud mailbox. Is it possible?

    iCloud handles only its own email addresses - @icloud.com only for new accounts, and @mac.com and @me.com for people who already have them. It doesn't interact with other email accounts.
    What you can do is to set up forwarding at the other account so that messages are forwarded to iCloud (I should set it also to retain the messages on the server if I were you).  This will enable you to check the messages using your iCloud account, though there is only any point in all this if you are doing it online at icloud.com because you are away from home. If you are at home you can more easily just receive the messages straight from the account.
    However you should note that in replying to messages received on iCloud you cannot respond using the other account's address as the 'From' address - you can only use the iCloud address.

  • Can I sync my iPad and iPhone via iCloud

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I searched and could not find a solution.
    I, obviously, did not set up iOS5 correctly because I now have two sets of Contacts on my iPhone.  One is called Contacts from my Mac and the other is called from iCloud.  I guess I was confused by being able to sync over Wi-Fi and also being able to sync with iCloud (maybe).  Below is what I'd like to be able to do.  Can I?  If so, how?
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard. ( I rely on too many Apps that run Rosetta to upgrade now.)  My iPhone and iPad have iOS5.  Can I sync my iPhone to my Mac using Wi-Fi?  It seems the answer is yes as long as the iPhone is plugged into a power source and both devices are on the same network.  Does the sync'ing occur in the background or do progress bars show up on the Mac and the iPhone?  Can I use a PowerMat as the power source or must it be receiving power through the doc connector?
    It appears that while I can sync the iPhone to my Mac, I can still back up the iPhone to iCloud.  Is that correct?
    If I do not plan to enter new data on my iPad, can the iPad be set up to receive contact and calendar updates from iCloud. i.e. iPad either pulls updates from iCloud or sync's with the iPhone data that's backed up in iCloud.
    I think what I'm trying to do is have all 3 devices current without installing Lion in my Mac. I recognize that new data on the iPad will not sync to my iPhone, but that's OK.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    Are iPhone and iPad both use the same Apple ID for iCloud?
    Are they both on Wi-Fi?

  • My hard drive crashed and i can't sync my ipad and iphone

    the hard drive on my PC crashed.  My tec was able to save my music and other itunes items.  He copied itunes back onto the new drive.  I went to sync my iphone and ipad and it would not saying this computer is not the one these i(phone & pad) are not synced to.  Help, Help. Help!!

    Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
    To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • HT201272 How can I sync my iPad and iPhone without a PC?

    How can I sync iPad to iPhone, so I can download a purchased TV movie?   Is there a way to reset the security questions?

    You can download all previous purchases to any device ascociated to your account, just go in the iTunes app on your device and go to the more section then to the purchases and find your desired purchase to redownload. As for reseting security questions it is possible, it's best to attempt to do it on your computer as doing it on your device isn't ideal. https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

  • My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

    My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

    You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced.  Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts.  But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore.  It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
    The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical.  But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

  • My email address changed and even though I have changed settings on my iPad and at the Apple store, my old email address comes up and asks for my password. The old password doesn't work so how do I eliminate that from my iPad and iPhone?

    How can I change my Apple iCloud account information?  My email address has changed and I've gone into settings to change the Apple I'd, my old email address pops up and asks me for a password before I can download apps, etc.
