IPad and iPhone Syncing

Our family has three iPhones with the latest OS4 software. I am thinking of buying an iPad and I was curious if the three iPhones can be synced with the iPad if it is installed with the latest iTunes version. My intent is to eventually migrate completely off of my laptop and use only the iPad and iPhone. My photos, tunes and videos would reside permanently on the iPad. Thanks for your comments.

The ipad would sync to the laptop, just like any of the iPhones. It is not designed to be used without a computer. Any backups, software updates, etc, need to be done while tethered to a computer with your iTunes account installed on it.
CAN you use it on it's own after the initial sync? Sure. But if something happens to it (Hardware, software, stolen, <insert catastrophe here>) you will have no way to recover any of the data and will have to start from scratch all over again.
Can you sync the iPhones directly to the iPad? No, not at all.

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • IBOOKS on iPAD and iPHONE Sync?

    Hello -
    Pretty simple:  I have an iPad2 and iPhone 4S.  iBooks on both.  Recently just purchased my first two books via iBooks store on the iPad.  I checked settings on both iPad and iPhone and I have sync turned ON.  I have iCloud (not sure this matters).  Why don't the books appear on my iPhone?
    THANKS!
    Gregg

    The best way I found to sync PDFs in iBooks between all your IOS Devices and a Mac is to TICK the "Sync with this (Your iDevice) over Wi-Fi" setting which is found in the "Summery" when you open iTunes on your Mac and select your iDevice from the top let corner of your iTunes window or from the left side column in the Playlist amd Apply.

  • Ipad and iphone syncing problems results in lost work

    Hello all,
    Sorry if this is treated elsewhere but i couldnt quite find it. I got pages for the flexibility of being able to use both the ipad and iphone to work on the same document and it worked fine at first but now the iphone is having trouble syncing automatically. Now it asks me to resolve a conflict and choose between different versions of the document. I chose the one with the latest timestamp but it wasnt actually the latest version of the document from the ipad. When i went back to the ipad it didn't give any option except to click ok to accept the changes and so reverted my document to an earlier state. I lost all the work i did today and the undo button did nothing but go back to the last changes made to that earlier version of the doc.
    I realize there is little hope for restoring my work. I use a webdav account to back up to but unfortunately hadnt done an upload today. From now on I'll be doing it every ten minutes but i really shouldn't have to.
    Does anyone have any advice for this? Or at least an email to complain to the developers about their syncing procedure?

    Looks like I had similar problem today.  I was working on my MacBook on pages and then about an hour later I made some changes on my iPad.  This morning it looks like I have to resolve a conflict of having two documents and I have to choose one.

  • IPad and IPhone synced to different PCs how do I get the same music on both devices? I used one PC to put CDs on ITunes but these don't appear on the phone which syncs to the Mac.

    I have 1 ITunes account but my IPad is synced to a Windows PC to download CDs onto my IPad and the Iphone is synced to the Mac. I was hoping that the CDs I'd put on the IPad from the Windows PC would automatically appear on my IPhone when both these devices were sharing the same Wi-Fi at home. This didn't really work very well and I've been left with the CDs showing on the list on my phone but when I try to play them, the different tracks keep scrolling fast and not playing. I've tried deleting them from the IPhone, but they just seem to retreat to ICloud.
    I've tried syncing the phone to the windows PC but this has just resulted in an error and I think this may be what has screwed the music up on my phone. I would just like to be able to listen to my CDs on my phone.
    Has anyone come across this before and resolved it?
    Thanks

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
    Read references for Home Sharing.
    iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
    Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

  • IPad and iPhone sync thru the cloud

    I can't get my calendar on my iPad to sync with my iPhone anymore.  When I first turned on the iCloud on both devices it worked but now unless I actually enter a calendar date directly into my phone it will not transfer to my iPad.  I sync my phone to my outlook calendar and when I do this the new dates frommy computer appear in my phone but not on my iPad.  It's the same for my contacts.  Any suggestions?

    If I am not mistaken that is how it is intended to work. Check in the calendars app on your iPhone and at the top how many calendars does it say it syncing. Also check your iPad for the same think. It could also be that on the iPad you are showing the outlook calendar. But, I'm pretty sure it only syncs iCloud calendars.

  • I have an ipad and iphone synced to the same windows pc, my pc died and i bought a new one can i restore the info on my idevices to my new pc?

    how can i get the info on my idevices over to my new windows pc, i didn't upgrade to ios 5 so i don't have them set up with icloud yet. also on my old pc i was using outlook now I'm planning to use thunderbird. is thunderbird compatible with the idevices or should i use windows live mail instead?

    Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad.  Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

    I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone.

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • My ical events showing up as "new events" on my ipad and iphone when synced with exchange?

    I am running exchange 2010 and have my macbook, iPad and iPhone syncing to exchange. I noticed that lately after my lion upgrade it is changing the ical meeting events that I create on my macbook show up on my iPad and iPhone as "new events". All of the information entered into the event is gone. This is really frustrating and is starting to become a problem. I need to find a solution soon. Has anyone else experienced this issue or resolved this issue?

    Maybe a fix in the works?

  • MS Outlook 2010 calendar not syncing with iPad and iPhone

    My iPad and iPhone sync perfectly in iCloud.  However, using MS Outlook 2010 Calendars they do not sync.  I have deleted and reinstalled iCloud with my PC but still no results.  Even though iCloud shows up in my Calendar, any additions or deletions in that Calendar do not show up on my iPhone or iPad.  Can you help?

    Hey oliroyal,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
    If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this articlehttp://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown herehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
    Thank you.

  • New ipad and iPhone 4 calendars won't sync tried everything on here still won't do it, help!

    Ipad and iPhone will not sync, I have tried all the suggestions on here but nothing seems to work, any other ideas appreciated!

    I have the same issues... iPhone and MBP have all the latest updates, etc. iCal synching used to work, but stopped at some point in January. I have tried all suggestions mentioned in these forums, including merging a new account...
    I am stunned that Apple can't get this right.
    The closest I've gotten to making this work is a dialog box popping up during synching warning of major changes to iCal; I say ok, but nothing is importing.

    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.
