How to Sync iPhone with iPad

These two questions have been asked for many times by the iPhone users: How to sync iPhone with iPad? How to sync iPad with iPhone? For these syncing issues, we may refer to iTunes. It is the only official syncing software provided by Apple, and yet, it is the only official application which allows users to purchase, download and organize their media files. But iTunes is not brilliant sometimes on the syncing issues. For example, if you have files from computer or CDs, you are not able to transfer these files back to computer with iTunes, which means you may not be able to transfer these favorites to your iPad in syncing iPhone with iPad process. Moreover, iTunes’ content management system is a double-edged sword, it can protect your purchases being in high quality, but once syncing, the loss of data from other sources are unavoidable.
