Why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad

why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad same with face time

I looked into your question and believe I may have a solution for you.
Your iMessages likely aren't syncing because of a bug in iOS 5. Syncing iMessages between iOS devices is supposed to happen automatically, but sometimes it does not.
You could likely manually activate syncing by navigating to Setttings --> Messages --> Receive At --> Caller ID on both your iPad and iPhone and selecting your Apple ID.

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentione

    I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

    And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
    You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
    But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

  • I accidentally sync both IPhones and IPad to my Mac, so all of my pictures keep saying on all of devices.  Is there a way to take them off all of my devices?

    I sync all my devices, both IPhone and IPad not realizing all of my photo's would keep saving everywhere.  I have resolved that issue, I just needed to find out if, there is a way to delete all of the photo's off both IPhones and IPad, but not from my Mac.  Is this possible?

    Hello, bethannfromct. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To remove synced photo albums from the device you will need to remove the sync preference in iTunes, see the steps in the first article below.  You will need to process these steps for each iOS device.

  • Sync Apps to iPhone and iPad?

    In the case of apps that will run on both iPhone and iPad (even if they don't use the full iPad screen), will iTunes (and the app developers) allow me to run the same app on both machines, or do I have to buy each such app a second time (i.e., one license for each machine)?

    app licenses are tied to the iTunes account. You can use them on as many devices as you wish so long as the device and the computer you use to sync it are authorized for your account as well.

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

    Backup then restore the device...
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • My contacts sync on my iPhone and iPad but my calendars don't m?..

    My contacts sync with my iPhone and iPad I cannot get my calendars to sync??

    I don't know how you have your sync set up configured but ....
    Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes if it doesn't start on it's own.
    If you auto sync, let the sync process complete but do not disconnect the iPad when it's done syncing.
    Click on your iPad name on the left sidebar under the Devices heading
    Click on the Info Tab at the top on the right side of the iTunes window
    Click on Sync ... Calendars.
    Click on All Calendars or choose the ones that you want to sync.
    Click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes Window.
    This article should provide more insight on some other possibilites as well.

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,

    It sounds like you don't have the AirPlay option on your iOS devices. Restarting your Apple TV and iOS devices was a good first step, and you can find some additional tips to guide your troubleshooting at this link:

    Facebook has a feature that requires you to authorise a new device, which could be causing an issue. Check your account settings when you're signed in on the computer, and see if it has anything along the lines of 'App Passwords'
