Why there isnt direct cable or Bluetooth sync link between iPod and iPhone?

I own both the iPod and the iPhone, both linked to iTunes. It is only possible to sync between the iPod to iTunes or between the iPhone to iTunes.
Why there is no possibility to directly link and sync between the iPod and iPhone ?
I will explain why this is bothering me so much. While on vacation I bought some songs from iTunes directly from my iPhone.
When i needed these songs on my iPod, it was inpossible, becouse my PC was left at home.
Because of this I am wondering don't you think irrational the impossibility to have a direct link and sync between the iPod and iPhone via white cable or via Bluetooth connections meant only for the link sync with PC ?
I mean even Nintendo DS and SONY PSP have this kind of sync links.

Rationally this means that if I can download the same things on both my devices
form the same PC based iTunes software, there must be some way to link the
same both devices directly by cable or radio frequency.
Sorry, but I do not see the logic here at all. The statement simply means iTunes can connect with multiple devices. It does not say iPods (or iPhones) can connect with each other at all. It simply doesn't work that way. I can pull a trailer with my car. You can pull a trailer with your car. Therefore my trailer should be able to pull your trailer? I don't think so.
If you think it is important, try making the suggestion at http://www.apple.com/feedback

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

    Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
    Thanks
    Carlo

    I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen.  I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again.  The new collection then showed up on the iPad.  Might help.
    ...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

  • Pages sync function between Mac and iPhone

    I decided to get Pages to sync between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro because of the feature that lets me continue typing on my phone when I can't use my laptop. But I want to know if, when I make a document, does my phone need constant internet connection or does it just kind of download it to the phone and updates when I look for it on my computer?
    I'm basically asking if my data bill will reflect me using this feature or can I not worry past the initial download.
    Thanks

    I have been doing some reading on the Apple site, and they do not explicitly state that Pages on IOS 8.1 autosaves. I have my suspicions that it does.
    I don't have IOS 8.1 installed here, but a simple test can be revealing. Open the same document from iCloud drive on your phone, and on your Mac in Pages v5.5. Make changes to the document on your phone. Don't attempt to quit the application. Do the changes automatically update after a short delay on Pages v5.5? If they do, then you know that the phones network connection is utilized — likely with Wi-Fi priority over your carrier data plan.
    Do not confuse iCloud Drive document availability on participating networked Apple devices as the Handoff feature. I still believe for that to automatically work, it would require Bluetooth enabled on both devices, and local proximity to one another.

  • Can you sync calendar between iPod and iPad

    Is it possible to sync Calendar, Contacts and Notes between an iPod and iPad, without having to use a third party method?
    I have both and would like to be able to keep these synced as there are times when it is more useful to use the alternative device.

    Use iCloud with the same Apple ID.

  • Can u sync messages between ipad and iphone

    I have IPAD2 and Iphone 3GS, how can I receive all messages on both devices?

    Thanks for the info.  My devices are now in sync after applying the changes as recommended.  However, I need to add one more thing for this to work.  The other party would also need to specify their apple-id in caller-id.  The synchronization worked after I changed my children's Iphones caller id's to their respective apple-ids.  Maybe coincidence but it worked for me......hope this helps.  

  • Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

    Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac.  I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
    Thanks in advance
    Conor 

    Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud.  You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
    On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked.  Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
    On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
    After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

  • TS4062 prevent syncing between ipod and iphone

    I  don't want my contact list to sync between my iphone and my daughter's ipod touch.  I checked the "don't synch automatically" option, but this don't seem to correct the problem.  Any ideas anyone?

    As long as you sync before you start to listen then the iPod and iTunes will always start playback from the same point.

  • How to sync messages between computer and iPhone?

    Is there a way to automatically sync messages on my mac with messages on my iPhone?  Currently if I receive a message it appears on both the Mac and the phone.  However, if I delete the message from the iPhone it is not deleted from messages on my Mac until I do so manually.  Thanks!

    "Currently if I receive a message it appears on both the Mac and the phone.  However, if I delete the message from the iPhone it is not deleted from messages on my Mac until I do so manually."
    That's the way it's going to work. Manually.
    But to make sure post in the iPhone forum where those experts are.
