Synch iPad via wifi or Bluetooth

What is the advantages / disadvantages of synching iPad using an iPhone 4 personal hotspot via Bluetooth or wifi?

As iOS 5 has not yet been released, the only people who have access to it are developers who are bound by a non-disclosure agreement. Therefore, no one who has any direct experience with syncing over WiFi can answer. All will be revealed on the 12th.
Best of luck.

  • Can my ipad use wifi and bluetooth at the same time?

    Hi
    I can stream radio via wifi radio apps and play through earphones. I can connect to my bluetooth speaker and play music stored on my ipad ok.
    When I connect up to my bluetooth speaker and try to stream the radio app it plays for a couple of seconds then stops for 20 seconds then plays for 2 seconds and carries on start, stop, start (I guess it's buffering or something?).
    Is it not possible to listen to a radio app and stream it to a bluetooth speaker at the same time?
    Any suggestions welcome

    Thanks for confirming it should work man.
    A quick check of the talktalk forum and it's my talktalk D-link 2780 router. It's a known problem.
    It all works ok on next doors router so Off to PC World for a decent router.
    Thanks again.

  • ITunes cannot recognize iPhone/iPad via WiFi Sync following motherboard change

    Hi folks,
    I'm having a problem with synchronising my iPhone (and iPad) to iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium via WiFi sync.
    This never used to be a problem - both devices would be identified by iTunes (occasionally this was sporadic, however a simple WiFi off/on would usually solve the problem).
    I have recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU in my Windows 7 PC and after updating some drivers, etc. all of a sudden, I cannot connect to WiFi Sync anymore. I can still synchronise my devices via the cable - i.e. the devices are correctly identified by the PC, but for some reason post the motherboard change, as soon as I pull the plug out of the device, the device disappears from iTunes.
    I can confirm that the "Synchronise this device via WiFi sync" tick boxes are checked, and the Machine Name is the same, so my iPhone is still looking for the same PC.
    I'm wondering if because of the motherboard change, there is an internal signature that the iPhone/iPad looks for that is no longer the same.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to no avail. I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem - no matter what I do, iTunes will simply not recognise my devices over WiFi anymore.
    Welcome any advice or thoughts.
    System details:
    - Intel i7 2700K (Upgraded from Intel i3 550)
    - ASUS P8Z68-M Pro (Upgraded from an ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
    - iPhone 4S
    - iPad 2
    - Windows 7 Home Premium
    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Folks,
    I thought I should post a follow up - in case any Apple Support people scour these forums.
    The problem seems to have resolved by itself, which is both a good and bad thing.
    I made absolutely no changes last night, not even a system reboot, to launch iTunes today and the system miraculously discover both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. I think this highlights a broader problem is that the WiFi sync capability is inconsistent and very difficult to troubleshoot. I have no idea why it has all of a sudden started working, especially when I have changed no wireless, networking, firewall or Anti Virus settings.
    Anyway thank you to those who had a read, and I wish I could provide more insight on why it has started working all of a sudden, and importantly, what caused it to stop working.
    Perhaps it is simply like two people - the new PC and its motherboard needed to 'get to know' the devices before it felt comfortable in allowing a connection .
    I have no other more rational explanation!
    Cheers all,
    Mike.

  • HT204089 I can't sync my laptop with my iPad via WiFi.

    I can't sync my iPad Air with my laptop. It's the same laptop, but since my HD had a meltdown, I renamed it. So now, when I put in iTunes that I want to sync via Wifi, it says I can't because the iPad is able to sync with only one computer. It's the same computer! How do I 'delete' the 'old' computer (same computer, but different name) and add my 'new' computer.
    Can somebody help? Thank you in advance.

    Might be easier to post numbers so other people with exact same settings can compare directly.  Also helps to post screenshots before and after getting the error.

  • My iPhone 4 wont tether via WiFi or Bluetooth, after installing Lion

    I have not had any problems tethering until after the Lion upgrade. I have tried WiFi and Bluetooth and it looks like Lion is dropping the connection attempts from the phone.
    Bluetooth: I deleted the pairing on both iPhone and Macbook and redid the pairing. The PAN connects for a subsecond (green light) and then drops.
    WiFi: I removed the phone wifi from known networks and rejoined but no luck. The iPhone thinks it has a valid connection but the Mac wireless connection symbol is a pair of overlapping circles. It appears that some protocols are getting through but many are not.
    Nothing changed recently in firewall settings...
    Puzzled,
    Keith

    Sorry, but downgrading the software is not supported by Apple.
    Try to set up the phone as new device, as explained in this article:

  • How to sync apps on iPad via Wifi from an iMac

    Hello all,
    I have been pulling my hair out for the past 2 hours trying to work out how to get the message back that appeared on my ipad saying 'new apps have been downloaded would you like to automatically download this in future' i opened the ipad and the message was gone.
    I didn't even know I could transfer them wirelessly - I'm connected via bluetooth to my iMac and on the same Wifi
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can sync my apps without connecting to itunes with the USB cable?
    Thanks

    There are a couple of iOS5 and iCloud features that are available as a public beta test.  One is automatic download to all your devices at once.  It's not a sync, but a simultaneous download.  If you want all your devices to have the same purchases, you need to enable both your computer and your iDevices.  This explains how: iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539

  • How do I connect my I phone 4s to my iPad 3 wifi  by Bluetooth

    How do I connect my I pad 3 to my I phone4s

    From the iPhone Manual:
    Personal Hotspot
    You can use Personal Hotspot (iPhone 4 or later) to share an Internet connection with a computer or other device—such as an iPod touch, iPad, or other iPhone—connected to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a computer connected to iPhone via Bluetooth or USB. Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular data network.
    Note: This feature may not be available in all areas. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
    Share an Internet connection: Go to Settings > General > Cellular and tap Set Up Personal Hotspot—if it appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
    After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
    W-Fi: On the device, choose your iPhone from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
    USB: Connect your iPhone to your computer using the cable that came with it. In your computer’s Network preferences, choose iPhone and configure the network settings.
    Bluetooth: On iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. To pair and connect iPhone with your device, refer to the documentation that came with your computer. When a device is connected, a blue band appears at the top of the iPhone screen. Personal Hotspot remains on when you connect with USB, even when you aren’t actively using the Internet connection.
    Note: The Personal Hotspot icon appears in the status bar of iOS devices using Personal Hotspot.
    Change the Wi-Fi password for iPhone: Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Wi-Fi Password, then enter a password of at least 8 characters.
    Monitor your cellular data network usage: Go to Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Usage.

  • Connected sandisk to ipad via wifi but no prog work

    Bought sandisk media drive so i can plug sd card and view pics over wifi, can download pics like psd file but none of adobe programmes ive installed show up in list to open file. Tried ptouch paid, LR, but none show.
    cant download file onto ipad as it will take up most of storage

    PS Touch supports import of JPEG, PNG and GIF images on your device; RAW and PSD images from Creative Cloud. Note that PSD images will be flattened when imported. You should have several options as to the source of import, including the Camera Roll.
    If I remember correctly, Lightroom Mobile works more or less like an extension of Lightroom for desktop. You basically work on your images that on your desktop through your tablet, never directly.
    The workflow would be (if using the SanDisk drive):
    Import a JPEG, PNG or GIF image from the drive directly onto your iPad. Then open that image in PS Touch.
    If using Creative Cloud, upload your RAW or PSD images to Creative Cloud (using a valid method such as uploading them from your desktop), then import them in PS Touch.

  • Which printer is compatabile for an ipad via wifi please

    would like to purchase a printer for my ipad does anyone recommend a printer mainly for typing letters/emails.

    Pick a printer, any printer.
    If you want it to print natively from the iPad, look for one that's air print enabled.
    if you dont' want one of those, look for a wireless printer that also has an app in the App Store to enable printing. Or if they don't have an app there are plenty of third party apps that will enable printing.

  • How to print from iPad via WiFi

    Hi,
    My printer is a HP Photosmart C4680 who's usb cable is connected to a small box or hp print server that connects wirelessly to my Linksys router. I tried Airprint but it didn't work because my printer is not in their list.
    Then I tried HP iPrint but this doesn't work either because according to their instructions I have a USB printer that should be connected to an apple airport extreme/express.
    So do I get this right, either I buy a new printer that is in the list of supported AirPrint printers
    or I buy an apple airport extreme/express, get rid of my hp print server box and linksys router and attach my printer's usb cable to the airport extreme?
    Another question is, how is apple airport extreme compared to linksys wrt610n? In other words, what will I loose and what will I gain?
    Thanks in advance

    AirPort extreme should indeed solve your problem.
    If your Windows PC is on more often than not, you may find it more practical to look at a software solution like http://jaxov.com/2010/11/how-to-enable-airprint-service-on-windows/, this works well with me and in your case won't require a network overhaul by using a new router.

  • I would like to use time machine via wifi or bluetooth

    The idea of plugging a notebook into a hard drive defeats the purpose of the portability, how would i be able to use a wireless method of backing up. additionally we have 3 mac notebooks in the house would i be able to partition a tetra drive in three sections and automatically do the wireless backups

    The official word is that the backup drive must be physically connected to one computer on the network. I believe there are kludges that work with a network-attached drive, but I have not tried it and they are certainly not supported.
    It is not necessary to partition the drive, however; TM can back up multiple computers in the same partition. What I find interesting is that it makes "virtual partitions" so each computer thinks it has its own drive. The only way to observe this is with a non-Mac on the network that can see the actual drive usage.

  • Why can't I sinc my iPhone to my iPad via bluetooth?

    Why am I having a problem syncing my iPhone & iPad via Bluetooth?

    Geez... I had such high hopes
    You had completely unrealistic hopes.
    Bluetooth is far too slow for anything more than the smallest of files.
    Considering the fact that iPads and iPhones can store many gigabytes worth of data, you would be waiting weeks to sync your media.
    USB is much, much faster. You can also transfer files via WiFi if the app you're using supports it. When iOS5 comes out later this year you'll also be able to sync via WiFi.
    Bluetooth is just not designed for syncing huge amounts of audio and video data.
