Managing iphone and Ipad via itunes

Hi,
Are there any known issues managing ipad and ipod via itunes with the same apple id via the app store?
Thanks

Yes.
Anything you uncheck in iTunes remains the same with iTunes regardless which device you are syncing.
I make use of iTunes playlists for the music I want transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have selected playlists, artists, and genres chosen. I select the iTunes playlists and/or artists and genres that I want transferred to my iPhone. I also have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences. This way if I want to remove a song or songs from my iPhone without removing the songs from the playlist I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone, I can uncheck the song or songs in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. Or I can remove a song or songs from the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. To add additional music to my iPhone, I can add the music to one of the playlists in iTunes I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone followed by a sync.
You can have the same playlist or playlists transferred to both, or different playlists transferred to each, but whatever is deselected in iTunes will be reflected on both with sync only checked songs and video selected for your iPhone and iPad sync preferences.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • Can't trust this computer for iphone and ipad with Itunes

    hi all
    after updating to ios 7.1.1 on both my iphone 4s and ipad I keep getting this message when I connect my phone or ipad to my iMac
    :iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    then this : Do you want to allow this computer to access information on “davidbarton’s iPad”?
    If you don’t allow access, you will not be able to manage or sync your iPad with this computer.
    I click trust on the device and then continue from within iTunes and I get this : iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    I have started getting this too after running disk utility and verify disk permissions, then running repair disk permissions
    : The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
    *** is going on please and how can i fix it, anyone?
    thanks

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 which I sync to the same iTunes on my home PC. Every time I connect my iPhone to my iTunes, it invariably gets synced with whatever apps, music, movies and books which I synced to my iPad 2.   How do I configure my iTunes in such a way that I sync different sets of apps, movies, music, etc. to both my iPhone and iPad? Thank you.

  • Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

    My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
    The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
    All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
    Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
    However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
    I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
    Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

    Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
    So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

  • Can you connect iPhone and iPad to iTunes at same time?

    Just received my new iPad2 and it will not show up in iTunes. I have my iPhone connected for a long time, but even if I disconnect it the iPad does not show up.
    Any Ideas?

    What if you manually quit iTunes?
    I can see why iTunes would not want you to try to sync two devices at the same time, but I don't see why both can't be attached. I guess that's just how they designed it. Probabaly makes sense. But if you quit out of iTunes (and iPhoto if that's running too), then I bet both devices would take a charge at the same time.
    By the way, I set my iPhone and iPad to NOT sync automatically - so they don't cause iTunes to launch when attached.

  • Syncing music between macbook, iphone and iPad via iCloud

    Question: I downloaded an album to my Macbook. I thought since I use icloud that it would be available on my iphone and ipad, but it isn't. How do I get it on those devices? Thanks.

    You will need to enable automatic downloads on the iPad and iPhone in order for the songs to be automatically be available
    Settings App
    iTunes & App Stores
    This only works for purchases made once this is enabled.
    For previous purchases launch the iTunes app on the iPad or iPhone and select more and then purchased to download.

  • How do I sync my iPhone and iPad to iTunes via iCloud if I have a PC?

    I can't use icloud to sync my iPhone or iPad. The iCloud backup works but when I check out the Itunes Wi-Fi sync on the phone it keeps listing that sync will resume when my old mobileme username is available. My iCloud username is an different email address an the same one I use for my itunes account.
    I can still sync using iTunes and the USB connection and then the date and time on my phone is correct.
    How can I fix this problem?

    there are a load of suggestions in itune - this is not an icloud issue as wifi sync is seperate

  • Is it possible for two people to use one iMac with iPhone and iPad separate iTunes and iCloud acc?

    Apologies if this is a very obvious question. I have one iMac that my husband and I use, he has an iPhone that he syncs with the iMac via iTunes for app such as docs to go. I recently purchased an iPad, I want to also sync with the iMac. Is it possible to use two iTunes and two iCloud acc to one iMac? We would like to pick and choose what we sync as we keep separate docs etc on the iMac, can this be done?

    Yes.  Just set up your own account in System Preferences > Accounts (User &groups in Mountain Lion).  You'll have your own seperate everything including mail.

  • Problem while syncing photo to iPhone and iPad. ITunes 10.3.1 mac

    It never happened before but just happened today with iTune 10.3.1 mac.  I am using it on 10.6.8.
    Between last time and now, I did update some mac 10.6.8. and today some java for mac os.  After syncing photo to iPad today, I noticed some photos are incomplete.  Half of the photo is white.  Some with complete photo but incomplete thumbnail. It happened to 30-40 photos out of 1200+.  I deleted ipod photo cache and resync the photo but it happened mostly to the same photos that had problem with slight variations.  I tried the same with my iPhone and had the same problem.  I tried 3-4 times and the problems remained.  So I can only suspect that something went wrong while iTune optimizes photos.
    The only way to solve this for now is to remove the problematic photos and resync them one photo at a time.  Anyone noticed similar problem please give me some advice.

    I have the same issue and tried all of the following without success (hoping to save others the hassle):
    Rebooted phone
    Restored phone and imported backup
    Restored phone with no backup and imported photos
    Moved photo folder elsewhere on machine and tried to sync it
    Tried variety of folders with different images from different devices
    Restarted Mac
    Repaired permissions on mac
    Ran Disk Utility and repaired hard drive, found a few issues
    Deleted iTunes Cache
    Deleted iTunes related plists
    Deleted iPod cache each time
    Ran TouchCopy and deleted the photo plists forcing the phone to rebuild the database
    Turned syncing of photos off and on again
    Ran all weekly/monthly cron jobs
    New iphone 4 at Apple Store still repro'd
    And so on . . .
    Other notes:
    Synced to iPod Touch I have and the same photos synced just fine
    Restored phone as new and synced on another computer the same folder of photos that I copied over to it and it worked, but it is my husbands computer that I don't keep my photos on/use for syncing normally
    Imported the same folder to iPhoto without copying the photos and it works, but I don't want to use iPhoto so not an option for me. Or using a different computer also worked, but not an option.
    I went to the genius bar as well after trying all of the above and they had no idea and had not seen this. It appears to be more of a computerissue than an iphone 4 issue though. I say this since putting the same files on another computer (my husbands) synced fine to the phone. They replaced my iphone 4 and the issue STILL repro'd with nothing else on the phone with my computer.
    Config:
    MacBook Pro purchased December 2010, 10.6.8, latest software updates installed, iPhone 4 latest updates installed
    Still troublehooting

  • I have lost all my itunes data due to a cumputer crash how do i sync my iphone and ipad to itunes without starting all over agian

    Hi, I have lost all data from itunes on my computer, is there a way to re-sync or get all the data from my phone and ipad 2 back to itunes on the computer as when I go to sync message appears saying this phone is sync to a different itunes library and it will clear my phone if i continue. can any one help please?

    These devices will sync with one computer at a time.  When you sync to a new one, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy of your old computer to move everything over.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your devices.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You will need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer as well, otherwise that content will be erased as well.  If you have a unique entry, then you should get the option to merge the data.
    Hopefully you have your backup copy of your old computer and will not have to go through this.

  • I recently moved some of my older tv series purchases to an external hard drive as my iTunes library hard drive was getting full.  Now, when I connect my iPhone and iPad to iTunes, I get the message that my iphone is synced with another library! Help!

    I didn't rename my iTunes library or anything.  How can I sync with iTunes without erasing all my apps, app data and settings/messages etc on the iPhone/iPad?

    If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was.  Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

  • Connecting iPhone and iPad via Keynote remote without Personal Hotspot?

    I live in Japan, where Personal Hotspot functionality is unfortunately unavailable.
    I bought the Keynote Remote app to control my Keynote Presentations with my iPhone, but in places with no wi-fi available, I cannot get my two devices to connect via bluetooth.
    Is there any way to link them? My keynote app is useless without a workaround.
