If you are trying to sync data between the three devices and they are all using the same Apple ID, you can use iTunes on a computer or iCloud (over the air).

May 18, 2016 1:46 PM in response to toniofrommostaby BBoiss,In later iterations of those devices, a nifty feature known as Airdrop was introduced that offers a quick/secure access to transferring files wirelessly within a certain area. The bluetooth technology on the other devices you list do not support this though. I know that's kind of useless to you now, but it's something to look forward to.

Edit: Darn it javaliga, stop getting in my head! Lol, but yeah Airdrop won't work on those other devices.

May 18, 2016 2:38 PM in response to toniofrommostaby elcpu,There is an App in the App Store called SHAREit that does pretty much what AirDrop does. It is not as nifty but will transfer files between iOS devices and even with Windows computers. It requires iOS 6 or later which your devices should support.
