My ipad is not syncing with my iPhone. I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)?

With apps, if I install an app on my iPhone that is also for iPad, it will go on my ipad, but if I delete the app on my iPhone it will not be deleted on my ipad. With photos, I have pictures on my ipad that are not on my iPhone and vice versa. With contacts, on my iPhone, everyone has their own ringtone, but on my ipad they're set to default. As I set up top, I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)? I just want a second opinion.
Thank you to all who answer.

Currently, all opinions are set to ON in iCloud on both devices. On the iPhone, apps is set to ON, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF. On the IPad, apps, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF.

  • Why is my iPad calander not synced with my iPhone?

    I just got the iPhone 5 it works great! But my iPad is not syncing the calendar. The reminders sync but the calendar doesn't. What gives?
    iCloud seems to be working.

    Do you have Calendars turned ON in Settings > iCloud on your iPad?
    What iOS level are you running on the iPad?

  • Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?

    After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad.  I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync.  I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there.  Can anyone help?

    I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
    It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s.

    My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. I had mobileme and upgraded to iCloud. I also have Mac Lion and feel like I have all the upgrades required, but any time I enter a new event in my iCal, it never transfers to my iPhone. Note: when I enter an event in my phone, it DOES transfer properly to my iCal on my Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

    My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

    Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view.  The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts.  In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts.  (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.)  If you want to do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts.  This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.

  • I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?

    I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why?  On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.

    Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
    Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
    If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
    If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
    Does it work now?

  • My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

    My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

    Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
    For instance - if you want to sync music....
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.
