I want to sinc my laptop, Ipad 2, and I4s.
Hello
How do I ensure that all 3 devies are always the same.
I.e.. I would like the Laptop, Ipad and I4 to always have the same info on W R T pics, contacts, email, apps.
can they be set to automatically sinc each time they in range via wifi, or do I need to plug the cable in,
If I update (sinc) the I4, and then plug in the Ipad, will the one overwrite the other?
thanks in advance
Thank you.
will each device override the other.How do I ensure the latest info is always the latest.
how do I prevent the 1 from been primary.
regarding Icoud, this is not possible from SA. data is simply far too expensive to download and store on Icloud. we pay R 2.00 per megabike here. so downloading a 16gig file each day, 2 or 3 times, will cost plenty

Face time has stopped working since update on iPad and iPhone
My face time has stopped working since both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S did their iOS 6.1 update. They just say that a connection cannot be made, or FaceTime unavailable. Both devices are sitting beside each other, both have excellent wifi. If you try to FaceTime one of the devices, it will ring once and then lose the connection. Apple account details are all fine, FaceTime is switched on, on both. Kind of lost and frustrated now
Hey guys,
So I also noticed a few weeks ago facetime stopped working on my iphone but was still working on my ipad2 and macbook pro.
Phone - iphone 4
os version - 6.1.3
carrier - at&t 14.2
location - usa
I use the same apple id for all devices
I searched online for a fix and/or troubleshooting help. I tried alot of the suggestions on this discussion as well as others but nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration, I finally reached out to apple tech support. I went through the entire trouble shooting steps with an apple technician and was even transferred to a senior advisor for additional help. We tried everything from resetting passwords, resetting icloud accounts, resetting phone settings, checking network settings, resetting date & time, resetting location, making sure push and multitasking functionalities were working properly, etc. We spent a couple hours troubleshooting trying everything but nothing worked. The apple tech said I would have to restore the os and if that didn't work, the only other thing to do would be to send in my phone. But he did stress that I had to restore as a NEW device.
I backed up my phone using iclould and my computer (everything is synced) and restored as a new device. I tested facetime and it worked, however my phone was back to factory position which is not ideal. So I went to itunes and restored my most resent backup. I got all my phone contents back but FaceTime no longer worked. I called the apple senior advisor back and he said I would not be able to restore from a backup because there seemed to be an issue with it that prevented FaceTime from working properly. So I backed up what I could to itunes and iCloud then restored my phone as new. After the restore, it prompted me to install the carrier software update which I did. Then I used itunes to sync my music, apps, contacts, mail, videos, pics, etc. I did this yesterday and facetime has been working properly since then. However certain things I was not able to recover.
So far, these are the things I noticed have been lost with the restore:
- all my settings (everything went back to default/factory)
- voicemail messages greater than 30 days old
- all text and iMessages (but I still have copies of imessage conversations on my iPad and mac)
- data stored within apps (you start fresh like when you first downloaded the app. some apps i have online accounts that sync but most apps the data is lost)
- screen display configurations
- notes that were only on phone and not synced with an email account
Out of all my research, this has been the only thing to get facetime working again. But on the downside, it does take a lot of time to backup, restore, re-sync, and then set up my phone similarly to how I previously had things. The big thing for me was the loss of my apps data. I wish there was a way to restore that. But when all is said and done, I'm glad to have FaceTime back on my phone.
If you are not quite ready to restore, check out this discussion for other suggestions you can try first:

Okay, that's your choice.

Is the media already on the iPad? If not, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded if they are still available in iTunes. Non-iTunes purchases would need to be synced from iTunes on a computer. -
Can someone please help??? I received am IPad air in November for my birthday and have not been able to use yet, I could not get it to connect so I returned it for another iPad air. And cannot get it to connect to wireless either. I have three other iPad 2's and laptops in home and everything connects with no problem. What is the deal with these iPad airs? My husband took the iPad to Apple store, it works there but didn't change anything so it won't work at home. Do I need to step down to old IPad since that's all that will connect in home. This is crazy,!!! How can I get my IPad air working in my home.???
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!
The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network". -

I clicked on an upgrade box on my ipad and when the upgrade was done my ipad wanted my passcode to open it back up. I have not had to use a passcode to open up my ipad since I set it up and cannot remember the passcode. Every time I try a passcode it disables for longer and longer. It is now disabling for an hour at a time.

ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY. -
HT1904 Since my laptop broke, I don't know how to update my iPad? Help?
Since my laptop broke, I don't know how to update my iPad. Help?
Update what? The operating system on the iPad? If that's what you mean, then if you have iOS 5 and are connected to a WiFi network, you can update it by going to the General settings and selecting "Software Update". If your iPad still is on iOS 4.x, then you will have to have access to a computer running the latest version of iTunes to update.
If that's not what you meant, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.

My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!
Hi,
You can't.
Messages - the replacement for iChat in Mountain Lion and beyond will do Screen Sharing but only to the accounts it did in iChat 5 and 6 (actually it includes iChat 4 as well)
That is to say in earlier version of iChat you could login to AIM and Jabber servers as well as enabling the Bonjour option to chat on your LAN.
All these will do Video and Audio only chats which in turn means they will Screen Share.
At iChat 6 an Yahoo option was added but it can only Text chat (it can't even send Files or Pics)
This means only the Internet able accounts that login in to AIM or to a Jabber server can Video and therefore Screen Share.
The iMessages account will Invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during text chat. (I.e. it is not Video inside the app like the AIM or Jabber accounts can do)
NOTE.
AIM includes Apple Issued Apple ID as Valid AIM Screen Names.
Google Mail ID s can be used and Google Talk IDs with Messages as they run a Jabber server.
Facebook allow you to create a Chat ID (Facebook Chat ID) which is also a Jabber server.

MUCHOS GRACIAS,
VALERIE RAHNWe are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. It's not a good idea to post your email address on any public forum (unless you like spam emails).
There is also no need to shout, apart from anything else it makes posts difficult to read, and may also mean that people don't reply to your posts.
iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) don't need authorising/deauthorising, that only applies to your iTunes account on computers. If you have already 'deauthorised all' in the past 12 months then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can 'deauthorise all' again so that you can then reauthorise the computers (up to 5) that you still have and need : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
