Sharing iTunes between an iPhone and iPad is causing me grief

I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPad 3G. Whenever I sync either of them, iTunes dumps all of my iPad apps onto my iPhone and vise versa. So I have to manually go and delete all the iPhone apps from my iPad and my iPad apps from my iPhone.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Shouldn't iTunes know to keep the two devices and their apps separate?
Much thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this it the best way, but once you hook up either your iphone or your ipod to itunes there is a tab called Apps under the device where you can manually check which apps you want to synch to that particular device. (uncheck the ones you don't want on that device.) Do the same on the other device and it should stay that way next time you hook up each device. You can do this after the initial automatic synch.

    How can I sync my Iphone 4 and my Ipad 2 using the Cloud?

    Make sure they are both using iOS 5 or higher, then go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create the account and turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud.

    is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

    You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
    You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
    What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
    Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
    Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
    This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

  • Can I use home sharing between my iPhone and iPad? Or do I need to use a computer?

    I want to use home sharing between my iPhone and Ipad. So I can use the remote app. But I can't get it to work

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

    I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad.  I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no synced,

    I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

    How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

    A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices. 
    iPhone email will always be up to date.  
    The iPad will update when it has internet connection.   If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.

  • Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

    I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

    HI,
    It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
    It seems no different in Messages.  (I used this Method during the Beta period)
    Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
    (The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).

  • HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

  • I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes.  iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums.  Why?  I have tried everything.

    If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
    If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.

  • Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

    Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

    Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
    With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

  • My contact info keeps changing between my iPhone and iPad on its on.

    For some reason my contact info changes on its own between my iPhone and iPad.  I can add a new photo and contact info and then
    For some reason I look the next day and the pictures gone and contact info isn't there?

    well the way icloud works besides the back up part of it is if you add a contact on your phone it will go to any other device that has the same apple id on it, Why the info is change im not sure about that but you can try turning off icloud and see if it still happens
