If we get iPhones is everything the same as on iPad?
This is a relatively simple set of pre-purchase newbie questions.
My husband and I both have S*** phones and iPads. He's a stalwart PC guy but iPad has him hooked, and I've had Apple computers since 1984. We each have our own individual iTunes/AppStore accounts.
We are wondering if everything that is on our individual iPads will automatically sync with a new iPhone?
Obviously some apps designed for iPad don't work on the phone etc. and need the phone version.
What about software licenses? If I have a license to use something on iPad does it work on the iPhone too or do we have to buy it all over again?
Or is it a user specific license for iOS on any device? Or is it a device specific license? Or is it up to the individual vendor?
Obviously simple things like syncing media items from iTunes should be OK right?
Any other caveats?
What about porting over contacts and other items from an S*** phone to an iPhone? Will those items then sync (in my case) with already existing libraries/databases? Syncing Address Book/Contacts and Calendars with OSX/iOS and Google is a big requirement.
Can iPhone 6 transmit a photo over Bluetooth to a Mac? It's something I currently find very handy and use a lot.
Hi Yes if the same Apple ID is used for iphone & iPad you will get the same Content but some Apps are for iPhone other are for ipad But it will be more or less the same. IPad Air 1 is now a good buy was £479.00 now £359.00 that's for 32G Buy from John Lewis .com 3 year warrenty. Cheers Brian

My new purchases will not sync into my playlist and get and will not show up on my iphone playlist of the same name, and I just tried to sync a new cd into my library and it is not showing up on my iphone.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I can't get my projects in Final Cut Pro X to work in 1080p. One turned out to be 1080p by "accident" but I did everything the same as the ones that did not. Same camera/settings (shot in 60i). I didn't really care cause I had to get some stuff done, but now I know I "can" dp them in HD but can't figure why the one went up to YT in full HD (and made a copy in my movies folder. That one project acted totally different than the other 5 but I didn't change anything. Can't get it to work again. ***? Any ideas?
No problem! If you're worried about more complicated edits (which in all honesty, should work no matter how many clips you select or how many effects are attached to them), you can always compound a clip first, and then copy it over after if you're afraid of lots of track clutter getting in the way. Not sure if they would break apart afterwards though if you wanted them to.

iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is an incorrect password. I have several computers and other iPhones connected using the same password. Any ideas?
Hey there Gordo456,
It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Restart your iOS device.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Help. My daughter backed up her iPod but copied all the info from my iPhone. So now the iPod and iPhone have exactly the same things. How do I get all her stuff back on her iPod?
Restore her iPod for the the backup of her iPod on the computer that she syncs with. For how to restore from backup see the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up -
Brand new iPod 5 and periodically will pick up our home Wifi, but when it loses it, it's impossible to reset. Says "incorrect password" and it is the correct password. No issue at all with Android devices or anything else on Wifi. Only the iPod and an iPhone 4. My iPhone 6 had the same issue, but I was able to correct it by resetting the network. This "fix" doesn't work on the iPod or old iPhone. Just keeps saying "incorrect password" no matter what you do. Connection has been reset, passwords have been changed... Nothing fixes it. And both are operating on the latest iOS update. I just updated it. Still doesn't work. How crazy.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before? no
Try the following to rule out a software problem: (Not clear what you did)
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

I have 2 iphones that share the same apple ID I do not want them to share contacts and apps how can I change this?
You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase. So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway. So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device. If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account). -
I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanksWelcome to the Apple Community.
I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
HT1751 Getting 2 logins on the same iMac to use an external iTunes library
The initial state is that we have two users on one iMac, each of which has (I think) it's own iTunes library. The desired end state is to have one iTunes library on the external drive that both uses can access because all purchases are made using my Apple id regardless of which user we have displayed. To gain hard drive space, I just transferred my iTunes library to an external Thunderbolt drive, and iTunes for my user login appears to be correctly configured and accessing everything. The library folder created during the transfer process is called "iTunes Media." However, when I tried to point my 15 year olds user id on the same iMac to this same external library, all of the library content in her iTunes disappeared. The iTunes folder is there, but there are no subfolders or content inside it. When I try to change libraries on my daughter's id, iTunes won't let me select the iTunes media folder on the external drive because neither it nor any subordinate folders have the .itl or .xml extensions. I am a novice with Apple products and don't know what happened to the missing iTunes folders associated with my daughter's user id. The ideal situation is if I could find the library and merge the content with the new one on the external drive. If there is no other way, we may have try to recreate her content and add it again. I need help getting both logins using the same external iTunes media/library folder and, if possible, recovering the missing content. Please put your advice in layman's terms for those who are somewhat technically impaired. Thanks!!
See if this helps. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
Also, you will no longer be able to sync contacts and calendar via USB with Mavericks. You can only do that now with iCloud. -
Is the iphone 4s case the same as the iphone 4?
Is the iphone 4s case the same as the iphone 4?
I had to use a scissors to pry off and then cut the Seidio SURFACE™case from my new 4S iPhone. It was impossible to remove otherwise. Do not buy this case for the new 4S. I think it is too tight - the clip that connects the upper and lower parts of the case cannot be disengaged.
Seidio did agree to take back the cut case; I am now trying to get them to pay for return shipping.
Note all the complaints ONLINE about this case and the problems removing it from the iPhone 4S. I should have checked it out before my purchase. -
this phone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. i have installed and re installed the program and every time i plug my iphone 6 in the same message pops up
Have managed to cure it based upon the following information received -
I keep having this problem with iTunes when I try to connect my iPod Touch to iTunes. I keep getting this error message: "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed".
What I did:
Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes.
I have already done this required step about a hundred times and I am still getting this same error so if you have any idea of what I can do please help.
Solution
I was running the 64-bit version if iTunes, and I did uninstall and re-install just to make sure -- no luck. Turns out there's a really easy solution, I'll spare you the detail of how I figured it out, but if you encounter the same issue, here's the solution:
1) Using WinRAR (or any other decent archiving program), extract iTunesWindows64Setup.exe
2) Right click on AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi and choose Properties.
3) Switch to the Compatibility tab and check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box, and select your only option, "Previous versions of Windows", in the drop-down box.
4) Click OK
5) Double click the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
6) Tell it to Repair your current installation
7) Done! -
My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.
No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
HT201303 Did we get charge twice for the same movie? pre order one twice by mistake
Did we get charge twice for the same movie? pre order one twice by mistake, what can I do to avoid double charge?
Hello bruistopher,
I can’t wait to get my hands on a iPhone 6 for myself. If I purchased and received a product, then noticed another authorization in my bank account, I am sure I would be just as concerned. I apologize if this has inconvenienced you in any way, and I would be happy to look into this for you more.
When ordering a product off BestBuy.com, typically you should see an initial authorization when you place the order for us to ensure there are sufficient funds. Then once the product ships, the authorization would become an actual charge to your method of payment. I looked into your order and confirmed the estimated arrival date of 12/05/2014, just as your email stated. It appears something may have been missed in updating the status of your order.
I have already reached out to my support team to look into this further. I will likely provide you with any updates via private message. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
Thanks for your loyalty!

I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?
ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2) turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3) connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!
