How do I set my Gmail account to store/ sync 3G's Address and calendar ?

HELP
Well the worst happened... I upgraded my wife's 3G to V2.1 from 2.0.. I conscientiously made sure the iPhone data was backed up before I ran the upgrade ( iTunes 8 told me it was... and I believed it...) and it all went swimmingly.. that is until I opened her contacts and calendar and then DOH! all empty.
If I understand correctly ( what I should have known before) the contacts and calendar on the 3G must be synched with something to be preserved... *I was not warned of this possibility at any time during the process before it wiped the data... DOH! nope.*
We do not use the Mac Address Book or iCal on Tiger or Leopard. We do not use Outlook/Exchange as of yet. My wife uses her G-Mail account.
Can G-mail be set to store Address Book and calendar information so this does not happen again.. if so HOW?
*I will probably be sleeping on the couch for a week as it is.......*

there is currently no support for syncing your google contacts or google calendar, unless you port them though iCal or Address Book which you can now do in Leopards latest update. You could try that, you should find the option for the address book in its preferences and the calendar under accounts.

How do I set up gmail account to sync with iCloud?

When I try to do so it says it can't verify the account password or name. I have been using the gmail name and password and it works fine on both my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. Ideas?

Is you gmail name used as an (old) Apple ID which is then associated with and icloud account?
Generally, Apple's icloud does not manage other email service providers' email. You could forward your gmail (using google mail's settings) to an icloud email account (or is this what you are trying to do?). But you can't have icloud manage gmail.
Or are you refering to the use of an email client on your mac that has icloud and gmail accounts defined?

How do I set up gmail not to download messages on iPhone

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully this is just a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Here is the setup:
1. I have a number of email accounts that I manage on an Google Apps account (e.g. [email protected]; [email protected], etc)
2. I have set up gmail accounts so the key messages I want to read end up from the google apps account in my main @gmail.com.
3. I would like to use my iPhone to send from both my mail @gmail.com as well as my google apps account (e.g. from [email protected] "Uncle Mike for my birthday I'd like a pony" attached a picture of a pony)
I have therefore setup my main @gmail account in iOS mail and my other Google Apps accounts that I want to use (e.g. [email protected]) syncing only mail.
The challenge is that I get repeated emails (because [email protected] forwards to @gmail.com) on my iOS device. I've set up filters in Gmail to mark as read and archive the messages before they are forwarded for the Google Apps accounts, but they still keep on being downloaded.
Any suggestions on how to force iOS Mail app not download them? Or is there a special Gmail side filter I can use?
BR,

Move them to a folder that is stored locally, rather than on the email server.
Reading between the lines, I guess your account uses IMAP, where the design philosophy is to store all messages on the server. Since your client shows what's on the server, when you delete a message, it vanishes both on the server and in the client.
The Local Folders "special" account in Thunderbird is provided for this very purpose, amongst others.
See the last item under "Uses for Local Folders" here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders

Unable to set up gmail account

I have opened an email account with gmail on the Google website. I have tried to set this gmail account to open in my Mac mail, but it will not receive emails and is telling me that port 110 has timed out. Is anyone able to help? Thanks

Hi, so you set it up as POP instead of IMAP?
If POP, is the 2nd method here how you did it?

How do I set up email accounts to send emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

How do I set up email accounts to send and receive
emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

Many ISP provided email accounts limit connections to their outgoing SMTP email servers to only connections coming from their own network. So, if you try to send email when not connected to their network (i.e. when not at home), the connection will be rejected.
If you are using an ISP provided email address, in these circumstances, you'll need to ask your ISP if they provide an "authenticated SMTP connection" so that you can send email via their SMTP server when not actually accessing the internet via their network. You'll need to enter your email account username and password in the Outgoing SMTP server settings and possible configure SSL or outgoing port numbers. Your ISP will be able to advise on this though, as the exact setting vary between ISPs.
By far the best solution though, is to use an email account that is not tied to any particular ISP, such as a GMail account, as these can be used from anywhere, on any network and provide authenticated SMTP as standard.

How do you set your email account

How do you set your email account

if this is your first email account you're adding to your iPod tough, go to the mail app. you'll have choices of what mail server you have. i think windows live mail isn't an option, so go to "other" and go from there by filling your email, name, and password. Im pretty sure thats about it. i use gmail so that was pretty easy.

After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

Hi,

I've setup the SMTP feature and set my Server to use anonymous authentication.
Things appear to look ok.
But I can't connect make a test connection to it when I am trying to add an email account in Outlook.
I could be doing something wrong here.
This is my process.

2. Created a user account in AD and given it an email address.
3. Opened Outlook and tried to manually add a POP3 account by specifying the incoming and outgoing Server details.
But when I go to test the connection on the email setup it keeps failing.

how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
thanks in advance

In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

Hi! So I finally found a disk cleaning kit and tried it out. No luck : (
The exact thing that occurs is:
Put disk in. It does not show up. Cannot get it out.
Turn computer on and off.
Message comes up saying it cannot read the disk and if I would like to erase the disk or eject it.
Then I eject it.
That's the whole of the cycle.
So do you think that just means it;s busted and no other way I can solve it but go with the external drive at this point?
I appreciate the help.
