Ios 8 How do you sync iPad and iphone imessages?

Just installed ios 8.  My imessages on the iphone are not syncing to the ipad.  Why is this and how can I change it?

I believe Apple is changing the way messages are "syncing" as part of the Continuity feature.  On your iPhone you send via your phone number and maybe an e-mail address but on the iPad, Apple removed the ability to send from the number of your iPhone.  Even if the recipient has your iMessage e-mail address it may still show up to them as a different sender and will not sync on your devices.  I do have one user that it does sync with but I haven't been able to figure out what is making that sender/recipient work.  Continuity has been delayed until October, so most likely we will have "syncing" issues until then.  Hopefully I'm wrong and someone can fix this for us.

  • How do I sync iPad and iPhone without getting all the iPad apps on the phone

    iPhone 4 tried to download all the iPad apps when syncing today. But of course overloaded the phones capacity.
    After deleting from the phone and syncing they were all reaload to the phone again.
    After disconnecting, went into iTunes, selected iPhone and when I selected one app to delete I got the message that this app would then be deleted off all devices. I would have thought that the iPad and iPhone options at the top of itunes window would highlight apps for each device especially as the two lists are not the same.How do I keep iPads apps on the iPad And iPhone apps on the iPhone?
    Help please

    Connect one device to iTunes.
    Select what is desired to sync and sync.
    Eject the device.
    Connect second device to iTunes.
    Select what is desired to sync and sync.
    iTunes will remember what to sync to each device based on the device name/id.
    Be certain to uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps with each device connected.

  • How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

    How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
    Hi,  Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
    I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
    Thanks,

    Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
    This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

    Also, make sure that all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (e.g. not on a "guest" connection), and verify the ATV settings to see that AirPlay (and HomeSharing while you're at it) are turned on.

  • Since iOS 6 doesnt Databackup with iPad and iPhone work.

    Since iOS 6 doesnt Databackup with iPad and iPhone work. What is the reason? any ideas?

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • How do you sync contacts between iPhone 4s and iPad air

    How do you par contacts between iPhone 4s and iPad Air

    What are you syncing your 4s to for your contacts? Sync the iPad to the same source.

  • How to sync iPad and iPhone 4?

    How do I sync an iPad and iPhone 4 so that they can both use my cellphone number?
    Also when I try to update my iPhone 4 in iTunes, it says my iPhone software update server could not be contacted, what does that mean?

    Just plug the two devices into the Mac, as if the other one didn't exist. iTunes will keep them separate and allow you control sync of apps and media content as you wish.
    As to iCloud, for the iTunes in the Cloud feature, if you use the same iTunes Store account on both the iPad and the iPhone, you'll want to turn off the automatic download option in the Settings -> Store preference pane on your devices. Then you can sync, download and update as you wish on each device.
    Regards.

  • Syncing ipad and iphone games together as one

    I was wondering how or if I can sync my ipad and iphone together so that my games are all in sync...for example, I have tiny towers and angry birds on both but the games are on two different levels because they aren't synced together...anyone know if this is possible?

    Wait a second-- so there is no simple way to sync data from games?  Isn't this something that could/should be possible through iClouds or Game Center or some kind of cloud system
    With apps that require a sign in and where the data lives online (Pandora, Spotify, Evernote) it's all there and updated, no matter what device you sign in on
    Kind of insane that it's not possible with games

  • Syncing ipad and iphone apps

    I like the way all of my folders and apps are set up on my iphone and would like the same arrangement on my ipad. Is there a simple was to SYNC to current layout from my iphone and copy it exactly to my ipad?

    You will want to sync manually rather than automatically.
    When your iPad is connected to your computer and you have iTunes open and running, simply select only the apps that you want to sync by selecting or deselecting (checking or unchecking the boxes) next to the apps that you want on each device. Select the Apps tab at the top of iTunes and under the Sync Apps heading in iTunes, you can even sort your apps by iPad, iPhone, iPad and iPhone, etc.
    Just pick and choose which apps you want to sync to each device. I have an iPad and three iPod Touch devices that I sync using the same computer and iTunes library and each device has it's own content.

  • How can I differentiate between iPad and iPhone iMessages for the same contact?

    I have my sister in law's email and phone number all in the same contact. She iMessages me from both her iPad and her phone. They come up as two different iMessage conversations, but they both are under her name. When I go to text her I don't know if I'm sending it to her iPhone or iPad. Anyone know if there's anyway to differentiate? Sometimes looking at what was previously said in the conversation helps but I can't always remember (nor do I know which device he was messaging me from in the previous convo). Thanks all

    Try scrolling to the top of the conversation and tapping Contact.  You will then see the originating address highlighted in blue on the contact.  If the iPad and iPhone are creating two different conversations, chances are if the email address is highlighted it's coming from the iPad; if the phone number is highlighted it's coming from the iPhone (although not necessarily).  To know for sure you would have to ask her to check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tell you which is checked under "Start new conversations from" on both devices to know for sure.
