IPad and iPhone restore without warning

My iPhone5 running ios 6.1.4 and iPad running iOS 6.1.3 have both restored themselves. The phone was a few days ago and the iPad today. Went to turn them on after charging overnight and the start screen was showing just like a new device. I searched forums but couldn't find similar problems except developers using beta firmware versions which is definitely not me. I'm a simple user with very limited knowledge of how these things work. Fortunately I'm at home so can restore all the data from my PC but I travel a lot and this could have been a disaster if it happened while away. Anyone experienced the same issue? Is it likely to happen again?

OK, I've done some testing and this is what I found. The iBooks app will sync your iPhone and iPad wireless when they are connected to the same wi-fi network. It will sync your categories and bookmarks. I found I could read a magazine on my iPad and when I opened it on my iPhone it was on the same page that I stopped at on my iPad. Great feature I think.

Can you share iTunes libraries between iPad and iPhone?

I know how to share libraries between my MacBook or iMac and my iPad and/or my iPhone. My question is, can you share your iTunes libraries between your iPad and iPhone only, without using a computer? I wanted to share movies between my iPhone and iPad in Europe over wi fi so I could take more on two devices. Does iCloud support videos?

There are no iTunes libraries on the iPad or iPhone. You have iTunes content on the devices but not libraries. The content is stored in the respective apps as you well know. AFAIK there is no way to share the content from one device to the other using any iOS feature in the current sysetm.
This something that may appeal to you. The GoFlex Satellite Wireless Hard Drvie.

You don't need a computer (other than to set this hard drive and and transfer the content), but it is one more device that you have to lug around with you.

I'm having trouble with "maps" on Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. It shows my current location and hour away from where I am. As soon as a move iPhone away from my wifi at home to cellular it shows my correct location. No help from Time Warner.

What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home. iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location. Very frustrating. I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation. Anyone else having problem? I just updated all devices to newest update. Is that the problem.

Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.

IPhone music will not respond to Play button after being paused. The same music is on my iPad and MacBook Pro without problems. Any suggestions about cause and solution.

Do a

When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

Thanks very much for the instructions. I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately. When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

How can I transfer my music from iPod to iPad and iPhone without a PC

I have all my music on my iPod nano and want to transfer it to my iPad and iPhone. How can I do this. I don't have a Mac or PC.

You can't without a computer.

How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?

how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

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?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

I have an iPad and iPhone. My husband has an iPad and iPhone. His iPad is under his own Apple ID, but his phone is under my Apple I D. Can I change his phone to his own Apple ID without losing things like his contacts and photos?

Create a new user account on the computer that he can log in to.

Backup/restore my iPad and iPhone using Time Capsule?

Hi,
I'm considering to get the Time Capsule but I don't know if it is possible to backup my iPad and iPhone in the Wireless hard drive.If anybody has tried that it would be great if you can share how to do it.
Thanks!

iPad and iPhone back up to iTunes on your computer....or....to iCloud.
If you back up to iTunes, when your Mac backs up to the Time Capsule, the data in iTunes is included.
More info on iOS backups is in this Apple support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If your question is whether an iOS device can backup directly to the Time Capsule, the answer would be no.

Both my iPad and iPhone apps crash, they close up without a reason. I've now reset both devises several times but it still happens. What is the issue? Is it my devices?please help it is annoying me now! Thank you

I have an issue with my iPad and iPhone. They apps keep on crashing, even the standard apps like mail and safari, notes etc. I have reset the divices and have the latest software, what am I doing wrong? Why would this happen? It is annoying and I want to fix it as I am in the middle of stuff and apps just close! Help.

I'm guessing it's an app that is on both devices. Delete all common apps, reset and see how they run.
Also try clearing your recently used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Continually press the red to delete the apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done
With a quick finger, you can clear this list very quickly.

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.
