Is there a way to have my iPad and iPhone automatically sync information without syncing on a computer?

I just bought an iPad 2 and already own an iPhone 4 and I was wondering if there is a way to sync information, songs, contacts, calendar, etc. without syncing them to my computer?

That depends. I use Google for my contacts, calendar and email. I have it set up as an Exchange account on both my iPhone and my iPad. Contacts, calendar and email are all kept in sync wirelessly without the need for me to do anything. If you are in the U.S. and your iPhone is the AT&T version, you can get any music that you purchased on either device (or on your computer) on the others without syncing. Look for the Purchases icon in the iPod app. If you're not in the U.S. or your iPhone is with Verizon, you'll have to wait until iOS 5.
For notes, I use Evernote. It's a cross platform app. I have it on my computer, both of my phones (iPhone and Android) and on my iPad. All of my notes are accessible to me from any device as long as I have an internet connection. I can also store notebooks locally on my iOS devices and my computer for offline use.
So, it's not completely seamless but many things can be synced wirelessly and without a computer right now.
Best of luck.

  • Is there a way to have updates download and install automaticly

    Hello All,
    I have a network with about 300 computers, 5 of which are Macs. With the recent security issues, and frequent updates, is there a way to set things up so that updates will download and install without any user intervention? Say maybe at 1am? I dont know if this is something you could do with automator.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    For 5 Mac's, likely it would be better to do it manually, you also get the benefit of waiting for the all clear first.
    Apple has been known ot roll out updates that break third party software, anti-virus etc.
    Take for instance 10.6.8, seemed harmless, but these boards were flooded with people who's third party Rosetta based software broke, it cost businesses a lot of money in downtime.
    Another is firmware updates, three in a row that were bricking Mac's logicboards.
    So automatic updates isn't quite the best course of action, and with 5 machines, it's likely better to roll out to one, then another, then the rest jsut to make sure they all don't go down at once, especially with a small number.
    Usually you can get the users of those 5 Mac's to update themselves, pick a leader out of the group to coordinate with, they are pretty happy having Mac's and likely to comply when you give the all clear sign.

  • HT1311 My wife and I each have an Apple account, and we each have an iPad and iPhone.  Is there any way for us to sync our calendars so that each of our appointments are on all devises?

    This may not be exactly what you are looking for but my wife and I have a similar situation and all we do is invite each other to any calendar stuff we both need to know about. Another way you could do it is us a 3rd party calendaring that will duplicate all your entries on their server and your wife would do the same and setup a single account with that service that you both attach to your built in calendaring provided you give proper permissions. The one I would try is google calendaring which works well if you have a gmail account.

  • Is there a way to have parallax scrolling and a changing slideshow? (so the slideshow looks still and it looks like you scroll your content over it again)

    Is there a way to have parallax scrolling and a changing slideshow? (so the slideshow looks still and it looks like you scroll your content over it again)

    You can apply opacity to images or define key position for slideshow so that with page scroll the opacity changes and will bring the similar effect.

    If you have got a backup, press Command and R keys in boot and restore an old backup. You can install Snow Leopard and upgrade to Lion if you haven't got the backup

    I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow.  I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
    You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
    Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
    Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
    Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
    You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
    Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
    Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
    No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
    Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
    Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

  • Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id.  I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone.  If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to?  Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

    Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id.  I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone.  If I set up itunes synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to?  Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?  Or will the iPad and iPhone be synced (matched) to pc and reflect what is on that device?

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
    Game Center settings
    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • Dear Apple Users. I have my ITunes on a PC and also have an IPAD and IPHONE. When I purchase music on my ITunes its appears on my IPAD when I sync. However it is not appearing on my IPHONE when I sync. Any ideas or thoughts greatfully accepted. S

    Check the music tab on the iPhones iTunes page, and make sure "sync all music" is checked. If you chose only to sync certain music, new music will not automatically show up.

  • Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

    You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

    You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.
