Why is my iPad syncing with my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. Sometimes when I download an app on my iPad, the same app will show up on my iPhone. But whenever I download an app on my iPhone, it won't show up on my iPad. Also whenever I write a note in the notes app on either device, the note will automatically show up on the  other device. The thing is I signed out of iCloud on both devices, but they still seem to sync. How do I stop my devices from syncing with each other?

1.) Your iphone has automatic downloads turned on, whereas your ipad does not.
- To change this go to settings > itunes & app store anything turned on has automatic downloads turned on
2.) You are using the same icloud email (apple id) on both devices which means you will sync information as they are the same account.
- You can not "sign out" of icloud on both devices unless you go into settings > icloud and hit delete account. If you did that they would not continue to sync notes as  you would not be signed into icloud to be able to do so.
3.) If you want your devices to stop syncing create a new icloud on one of the devices - once you delete the account you can then tap on icloud again and it will prompt to sign in or at the bottom you can create a free icloud account

  • Why wont iTunes wirelessly sync with my iPhone 5?

    Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me.
    I have an iPhone 5, I am running the latest version of iTunes on my iMac and my iPhone is displayed on iTunes. It is ticked to wirelessly sync. Both devices connect to my home wifi. However more often than not when I want to wirelessly sync some new podcasts or music to my iPhone (I tick what I want and then click apply) a box appears and says "looking for iPhone" it does this for a minute or two before presenting me with a message that says something along the lines of "the info could not be backed up as the device could not be found". My iPhone then disappears from iTunes and will not reappear until I connect it via USB. Once I disconnect the USB my iPhone stays listed on iTunes until I try to wirelessly sync again. Similarly if I try to sync my iPhone from the phone to iTunes it just says "look for iMac" until eventually giving up.
    I had an iPhone 4 before the 5 and it was set up in exactly the same way using the same version of iTunes the same iMac and over the same wifi and that worked first time every time. I have also tried quitting iTunes and restarting my iPhone.
    Sorry for waffling on but its becoming slightly annoying and I was hoping someone could help.
    Cheers

    I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
    Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
    BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

  • Why do books not sync with an iphone sync to macbook pro?

    Sometimes, but not all the time, when I sync my iPhone 5s to my MacBook Pro 2007 using iTunes, all my previously selected books and PDFs are all unselected.  Then I have to go and reselect each book and PDF I want to sync again, and there are a lot of them. 
    Another question is how do you delete books or PDFs from the computer permanently once it is there?
    thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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 doesn't my calendar sync with my iphone or iPad?

    When I make an calendar entry on my Mac (Lion) is doesn't automatically sync with my iphone or ipad. But if I make the entry on the iphone/ipad first, it will show up in my calendar on the Mac. What have I not done right?

    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect Calendars then reselect.
    On both the iPhone and iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • 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.

  • TS3999 my calendar is not syncing with my iphone or ipad

    I cannot get my calendar to sync with my iphone or ipad, any suggestions?

    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.

  • 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?

    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.
