iPads, Tablets & Phones

I set up new iPads, tablets, and phones properly — accounts, syncing, and settings — and fix the syncing and storage issues that turn a helpful device into a frustrating one.

This is also one of the most common gift-related calls I get: a device arrives as a present and needs to actually get set up before anyone can use it.

Common requests for mobile devices

• Setting up a new phone or tablet and transferring everything from the old one
• Fixing photos, contacts, or messages that stopped syncing correctly
• Untangling iCloud, Google, or family-sharing account issues
• Freeing up storage space that's mysteriously disappeared
• Connecting a device to email, WiFi, and printers correctly

How a device setup works

1. Back up the old device first Nothing gets migrated until the source device is safely backed up.
2. Set up the new device Accounts, WiFi, and core settings configured from scratch.
3. Transfer photos, contacts, and apps Everything moved over so the new device feels immediately familiar.
4. Test before I leave Calls, messages, photos, and email all confirmed working before I consider the visit done.

Family sharing and multiple devices in one household add complexity fast — if you're managing several phones and tablets for a family, it's worth setting them all up in one visit.
