Transferring iTunes playlist from iPad to iPhone - using iCloud

I'm trying to get playlists from my iPad to my iPhone 5, but without using iTunes since I'm not able to sync my iPhone 5 currently. I do use iCloud, is there a way to sync playlists from one device to the other that way? Or any other way without syncing both devices to iTunes? Thanks

Without itunes, the only other way that I know of is itunes match.

Transfer music from iPad to iPhone using iCloud and can't do it

Why won't my iPad let me click on the button in store for automatic download

I'm not sure why you're having trouble downloading them on your phone. Transfer the music from your iPad to your iTunes library (by authorizing your computer for the ID used to purchase it in Store>Authorize this computer, connecting your iPad to you computer then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases), then sync the music to your phone.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

To import documents from Macbook to iPhone, using iCloud

I wanted to import about 10000 documents (Word and Pages formats, less than 1 Gb) from Macbook to iPhone, using iCloud. After I downloaded about 5000 files and created some folders in Pages, new documents no longer appear in my. I have enough free space in iCloud. What should I do to transfer the remaining files? Is there another way to move my documents?

I moved files from My documents/Macbook to Pages/iCloud/Macbook, then, after appearing in Pages/iCloud/iPhone, I distributed them to folders that I created in Pages/iCloud/iPhone (about 500 files per folder). Firstly transfering (appearing in Pages/iCloud/iPhone) was taking minutes, then - hours, days and now does not happen at all.

I was trying to connect my ipad and iphone using icloud. After signing in on both devices I clicked merge. I went to check my calendar and all my events were gone. Is there any way I can get my events back?

Check to see if they are on your calendar on icloud.com. If they aren't, all you can do is try to restore to your last backup, although it isn't clear that calendar events are included in the iCloud backup.

Transferring Phone Book from iPad to iPhone 5S

Hello, I'm trying to tranfer phone book on ipad to iPhone 5S. I defined the same icloud accounts in both. I connected to wi-fi. But still cannot syncronize. I also tried connecting iPad to itune. Backed up. Restored from iPad to iPhone. Did not work.
How can I start the syncronization of iCloud manually? What can be the problem? One thing on my mind. iPhone 5S is IOS 7.0.4 but ipad is still the old style. Can that be a problem?
Thank you in advance for your support!!!

If you are reffering to photo stream...
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
If you are reffering to restoring from back up...
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

Transfering iTunes playlists from PCs to a MacBook

My wife and I just bought our first Mac. We intend to share it, so we have set up separate user names. Our question: Is it possible for each of us to transfer our iTunes playlists from our PCs to our new MacBook and continue to maintain and sync our playlists separately? If so, how do we do this?
Thanks!

Can you sync itunes playlist from ipad to ipod(s)?

As long as the playlist is in your iTunes library, you sync it from iTunes on your computer.

Transferring old photos from Ipad to Imac using usb cable or local wifi?

Can anyone tell me how I transfer old photos from Ipad to Imac? These were originally on a PC (now disposed of). I can see how to transfer new photos from Camera Roll using Iphoto, but my 10 year archive with 1000s of photos appears stuck on my Ipad. I have a very slow internet connection, so I can't send them across by email and would like a solution involving the usb cable if possible.
Worryingly this question appears several times in old threads but appears to be unanswered, but I will be pleased to be referred to the right thread with all the answers - if it exists!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Connect the iPad (USB) to your Mac then launch the Image Capture app. It's located in your Applications folder.
You can import photos from the iPad using that application.
You can even designate where you want to the photos stored on your Mac and which app you want to use for editing from the bottom of the Image Capture window.

Photos not syncing from iPad to iPhone through iCloud

Hi,
I synced some old photos from my laptop (windows 7) through iTunes to iPad. iCloud is setup on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. The photos by default did not go to PhotoStream and i think that's the reason why they dont sync up with the photos on my iPhone even when I am in Wi-Fi zone.
Is there a way I could move the photos from iPhoto to PhotoStream on my iPad so that they sync up on my iPhone.
please suggest if I am getting the issue totally wrong and it is something I am missing here.
Regards,
TarGoy

You don't have the issue wrong, I can totally see what you're thinking. It would be nice if Photo Stream worked that way, but Photo Stream only adds the photos you take with the device's camera after you take them. It stores the last 30 days of photos, or up to 1,000 (which is pretty good, if you think about it).
You can remove all the photos from your entire Photo Stream by going to iCloud on your computer, choosing Advanced in your account, and option "Reset Photo Stream".

Pictures don't upload onto my macbook air from ipad and iphone via icloud

The pictures I take on Iphone and Ipad often just don't transfer to my macbook air via Icloud. Some do, some don't, its very
inconsistent - some just never upload.
Any ideas? I think that all the settings on all machines are correct..! :-)
thanks,
Russell

Hi Russell,
I'm assuming you have iCloud activated on your Mac. Try signing out & then logging back in on your Mac. Are you using Photostream within iPhoto or Aperture...or both?

How do I move photos from iPad1 to iPhone using iCloud?

I thought that if I put photos on my iPad, it would automatically move to my iPhone or at least ask me. Is there a setting that I need to refer to or what?

Photo Stream only adds photos taken on each device to Photo Stream and syncs them between devices. It also only adds photos taken since Photo Stream was activated.

TS3989 How do I view my photo stream from ipad and iphone on icloud?

I have icloud on but it does not show my photos or photo stream when I log into icloud on my PC.

My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them. They are not backed up, only your camera roll photos are backed up. If all your photo stream photos are older than 30 days, you would not get them back when you signed back into your iCloud account. Shared photo streams remain in iCloud indefinitely and should reappear on your device when you sign back in.
