IPhone 4S to iPad 2 - Settings won't transfer.

I used my iPhone 4S backup from iCloud to set up my new iPad, but none of the settings, contents, or game data transferred over. How do I get EVERYTHING to transfer? All my apps are set up individually I stead of grouped in folders. And none of my contacts or old messages are there. I know these things are all part of my backup because I've used it in the past to transfer from one iPhone to another with no issues.

so ive imported the video into iphoto then tried to sync it back to my ipad. it didnt copy over saying the video is unsupported. ***?!?

Contacts shown on ipad facetime won't transfer to my recently restored iphone

My iphone had been playing up of late, and resulted in me having to restore the factory settings, before I could back everything up properly. I'm now left with a basic iphone, and all my contacts etc backed up on my ipad. For some reason these won't transfer via icloud and won't merge. They also dont show up on my icloud control panel.
Any suggestions to avoid me the arduous task of tansferring them one by one?!

You could use an app like Download the app My Contacts Backup. to back up the contacts on your iPad as a vCard attachment to an email. Send the email to yourself, then open it on your computer and add the contacts to iCloud as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard. If you see duplicate contacts on your iPad after doing this it means that you may be syncing them from an external service such as Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account. If that's the case you will need to disable contacts syncing with the account in order to remove the duplicates.

My iPad 2 won't transfer to PC!

Ok, pulling my hair out now after searching all these forums. Trying to update my iPad 2 from 5.1.1 to 6.1.3. iPad is nearly fully, and in fact states in iTunes that it is over capacity by 215.7 MB (on a 16 GB Pad).
I am having the following problems/pains(!):
1. When I look at the list of apps in iTunes, it states there are 105 apps, but when I count all the apps in the list next to the iPad screenshots, there are only 58. i.e., the screenshots accurately portray what's on the iPad; the list to the left does not.
2. When I try to update, iTunes tells me there are purchases on the iPad that I should transfer. So, I dutifully attempt to do this, and it seems to transfer 67 files (which is obviously not the 105 that iTunes is telling me are installed!); chokes a bit on the first two files, I think they're the 1.x GB files, and then quickly goes through the rest of the 67 (not 105).
3. Enter 1 Infinite Loop... Assuming the transfer is a success, because I've not been told otherwise, I try to update again... And again am informed there are purchases that I need to transfer... Loop... Pull Hair out... Post here... Have everyone tell me to look at articles about backing up and restoring. Those don't work.
Also, what good is it to restore settings from a backup, if the backup has bad settings? Is this really a solution?
The main thing I'm interested in recovering is the Apps, which obviously aren't transferring, nor do they seem willing to... I suppose I can download them all again one by one from "the cloud", but then aren't all the app specific settings lost? Or is that what backup is supposed to take care of? Even though according to iTunes I only have 58 of 105 applications?!? Any why is the iTunes "List" (next to the screenshots) listing 58 apps, while the "transfer purchases from iPad" action seems to be finding 67? I'm so confused as to how all this is interacting, why memory issues on the iPad are preventing purchases from being transferred FROM the iPad properly, why there are no error messages after a "transfer purchases" attempt.
As one other piece of interesting (useless?) information, iTunes shows that I have 3.2 GB of "other" data. Not sure about the importance of this, but I think before I started any kind "transfer of purchases", it was only at about 1.5 GB or so... That's just an approximation, but the point is that the iPad wasn't maxed out of memory until I began all of this.
Any help appreciated, but I'm inclined to believe will not be forthcoming. Thanks anyway to anyone that was brave enough (bored?) to read through all this dribble!
I'll nominate anyone for 1 billion points if they can solve this. I've not found anything that even comes close to addressing this issue.

What number shows in Settings > General > About > Applications on your iPad, does that tie up with the 105 (is that the number shown at the top right of the Apps tab above the screen mock-ups) or the 58 (or is it a third number) ? The figure in Settings and at the top right of the screen should be the number of downloaded apps, so it excludes the built-in apps. The list of apps to the left of the screen mock-ups are the apps that are in your computer's iTunes library which are compatible with your iPad - so some might have an 'install' button next to them if they aren't currently on your iPad, those with a 'remove' button should already be on the iPad (so the 'remove' button would delete the app, and its content, from the iPad).
When you try the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases that isn't just looking at apps, it should also transfer any iTunes music, film, TV show, audiobook and ibook downloads over from the iPad (it should also copy any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app even though they aren't iTunes purchases) that aren't already on your computer - so the 67 is the count of items that aren't already on your computer that it should copy over, it will exclude any apps (and other iTunes dowoloads) that are already there, and it could also include other things.
The 'transfer purchases' also only copies the actual apps, it doesn't copy any documents / settings / game progress etc that you have in those apps i.e. it's just the app as downloaded from the store - their content and settings should be included in the backup instead. Before starting an update I normally advise people to take their own copy of any important documents that they have on the iPad, just in case the backup gets corrupted and can't be restored to the iPad e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab, emailing, transfer via wifi (depending upon what the app supports).
You have enough free space on your computer, are there any items that you could safely delete from the iPad to see if freeing up space might get the transfer to work, and/or have you tried rebooting your computer ?

My iPhone 5 and iPad mini won't charge with the lightning cable. Worked fine for months until today.

My iPhone 5 will not charge using the lightning cable. It has worked fine for months then started beeping and now won't take a charge. Neither will my iPad Mini. Does anyone know know what the problem could be?

My iPhone 5c and iPad mini won't charge. Can both charger ports be broken at the same time?

MMy iPhone 5c is dead and wont charge. My iPad mini also won't charge. So I thought it was my charge wire or charging block might be the proble. I've used other wores and other blocks and also plugged it into by laptop and neither are charging. So it would see that the charging port is broken on both. But it seems odd that both would break on the same day. Both are under a year old and I only ever use official Apple charging devises. Help!

Good day Hollixd,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5c and iPad mini are not charging. It does seem odd that both devices are not charging from multiple chargers.
There are a few more steps that may help you charge your devices. Next, I'd try steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your devices still don't charge after trying all of these steps, the article suggests contacting Apple Support:
If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

How can I transfer my iTunes trade nations game from my iPhone to my ipad, How can I transfer my iTunes trade nations game from my iPhone to my ipad

How can I transfer my trade nations game from my iPhone to my ipad

Do you sync your iPhone and iPad on the same computer? If you do, then sync the phone first, and when you sync the iPad afterward, go to the Apps pane (in iTunes) before the sync and check the box next to the game you want on your iPad. You can also put it in place on any app page on your iPad.
Purchases using a single Apple ID can be installed on any device connected to the account, but iPhone apps may behave differently on an iPad.

TS3581 iphone 3gs and ipad 2 won't bluetooth connect to my laptop

I can't get my iphone 3gs and my ipad2 to connect to laptop using bluetooth

You are in some luck. Google "GNS 5870 MFI". It is a Bluetooth GPS that works with iPad. Cost $99.99 on most sites. There is also a product called "Bad Elf" that connects to the docking pins that gives GPS functionality to the iPad. I own neither so can't vouch for them but there are quite a few reviews for both products. Good luck!

IPhone 5 and iPad 3 won't update.

I ignored the software update released in Jan and now can't update to iOS 6.1 let alone 6.1.2.
Both iPhone and iPad have the same error message whenever I try...
"iOS 6.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet."
I am, however, connected to a working WiFi connection.
Anyone else having this problem or have any solutions?

Has the download in iTunes finished ? Apple server may be heavily loaded.
Alternatively Download and save iPhone 5 - 6.1.2 firmware from a trusted source. theiphonewiki.com being one. Connect phone to comp. In iTunes press Option+Restore (Mac) or Shift+Restore (PC), point to downloaded .IPSW file.

How do I transfer film from my iPhone to my iPad

How do I transfer film from my iPhone to my iPad ?

You cannot transfer a movie from your iPhone to your iPad. You have to do it via iTunes on your Mac/PC or if available in your country via iTunes in the Cloud (that means you can download former store purchases again directly on another device).

Only cropped photos won't transfer

For some reason, photos that I crop on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 won't transfer to my Windows 7 PC; instead, the original version is transferred. I have tested this and photos that I have edited one of the other 3 ways (rotate, enhance, red eye) show up on my computer they way they've been saved to my Camera Roll. Is there a problem with cropped photos in iOS 6 right now?

This is normal. As I know only iPhoto recognize these changes. Crop them in your computer.
