To sync your iPhone and iPad without using iCloud, you can use iTunes on your computer. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Connect your iPad to your computer using a USB cable. Launch iTunes on your computer if it doesn’t open automatically.
2. In iTunes, click on the device icon at the top left corner of the window. This will bring up the summary page for your iPad.
3. On the left sidebar, click on “File Sharing”. This will show you a list of apps on your iPad that support file sharing.
4. Select the app from which you want to transfer files to your iPhone. For example, if you want to transfer photos, select the Photos app.
5. On the right side of the iTunes window, you will see a list of files associated with the selected app. Select the files you want to transfer to your iPhone by clicking on them.
6. Once you have selected the files, click on the “Save to” button at the bottom of the window. Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the files.
7. Disconnect your iPad from your computer and connect your iPhone to the computer using the same USB cable.
8. Follow the same steps as above to select the app on your iPhone and click on “Save to”. Choose the location on your computer where the files are saved.
9. After the transfer is complete, you can disconnect your iPhone from the computer.
It’s important to note that this method allows you to transfer specific files from your iPad to your iPhone, such as photos, videos, music, documents, and more. However, it does not sync other data like contacts, calendars, or app data. For those types of data, you may need to use other methods like iCloud or third-party apps.
Using iTunes to sync your iPhone and iPad gives you more control over what files you transfer and allows you to keep your data organized on your computer. It can be especially useful if you have limited iCloud storage or if you prefer to have a local backup of your files.
