Sync Thunderbird across multiple devices

Can anyone tell me how to sync my Thunderbird email accounts across multiple devices?  I've got this weird situation where incoming emails are showing up on one device but not another, and the contents of the inboxes are different across iMac; Macbook; iPad and iPhone.  I'm using IMAP  but just can't get the inboxes to look the same across each device.  I use this account for work so it's very frustrating.

I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

  • How to sync contacts across multiple devices

    I have a iPhone, iMac and iPad that I am having trouble keeping my contacts in sync!
    Some contacts do not appear across all devices and others appear duplicated on one or more device.
    After much checking of the settings and trying to merge contacts, I have still not managed to sort the problem.
    David

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Sync Calendar across multiple devices

    My wife and I each have an iMac and iPhones. We would like to be able to have a common calendar across all of our devices. I suspect this can be done with iCloud. I think this can be done by both of us using the same iCloud account but then we would have to have common everything. We each have separate Contacts lists and really don't want to co-mingle them.
    Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts on the same device?
    Can someone point me to a place where I can read about how to set this up?
    Thanks a lot for the help.

  • Syncing ITunes Across Multiple Devices...

    Hi everyone,
    I have had a MacBook for about four years now, and have always enjoyed having my entire music library in iTunes and on an iPod.  Recently, my iPod broke -- and around the same time, I got an iPad and iPhone5 (both 16GB).  So here's my question: It's not feasible to put my entire music library on the iPad and iPhone because of space considerations.  So I'm wondering what you guys think is the best way to ensure that I have the same sampling of songs from my library on the iPad and iPhone (aside from just manually uploading the same songs to each device).  I'm sure there are simple answers to this question, but I'm new to the iPad and iPhone, so keeping the two devices synced is all new to me.  Any suggestions people have would be great.  Thanks.

    Create a playlist with the songs you want to listen to.  When you connect each device, select the "music" tab and specify that  you want it to sync to just the songs in that playlist.
    If you let iTunes decide what songs to download, (I think) it will have created a playlist and already done this. You can choose to either start with this, or make a new playlist.  You can sync the same playlist to all your devices.
    Another option is Music Match.  For $25/year, you can have access to your entire library over the network from all your devices and other computers. That was how I solved the same problem you have.

  • How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

    Hi there,
    My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent).  My husband and I each have one as well.  We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices.  Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's.  When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
    My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
    How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)?  Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices?  I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress.  We all share one itunes account.
    Thanks so much!
    (If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

    We all share one itunes account.
    This would  be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes   by ...
    You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ?  delete the game from the current apple id.  Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
    Look into family sharing:

  • Does lion server support a single email address across multiple devices??

    I am looking to move from an outdated Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to OS X Lion Server but I am unsure as to how Lion will handle email. I do not want to spend money on a new windows server if I can get a Mac Mini Server to do the job. I am a very small business with a number of email accounts for a couple employees and need access to email and calendar from both the office iMac's and my Macbook Pro when on the road. My IT guy says I need Exchange but he's been off base on a few other items recently and I wanted to check with other sources.
    I have 2 new iMac's, a MacBook Pro, an iPad1 and and iPhone4 on the mac side of things and 2 windows computers running XP. I would get rid of the windows computers completely if not for my CAD program which runs best not in a virtual machine mode.
    How well will email and calendar entries sync across devices?

    I have a very similar setup at my office. Lion Server will push email, calandar, contacts to all of your apple product with out a hitch.
    As far the Windows XP machines, you can access email over IMAP with Thunderbird, and calandars via sunbird or the built in web app.
    I would ditch the exchange server move to Mac OS X Server, and never look back.
    God Luck!
    PS. All of your devices will be in sync all the time.

    Yes.

  • Numbers vs. iCloud across multiple devices?

    I'm confused.  I am a long time mobile me user and I consider my self a mac poweruser.  I just made the switch to iCloud and my main purpose was to use Numbers across multiple devices.  I have a MacPro, iPhone 4 and iPad 2, all running the lastest versions of iOS, Lion, and Numbers.  I understand that the Mac version can't sync seamlessly like iCal or Contacts.  I have to upload and download files with changes to work on them on the Mac.  However, I can't see any of the files on my iOS devices or in my iWork page on my iCloud.  If I make a file or make a change to a file in Numbers on an iOS device, shouldn't it upload that file to the cloud automatically?  Shouldn't the iOS devices "see" the newly uploaded changes from my Mac?  I got it to work once as a test right before Thanksgiving, but since then, nothing.  I've made sure all the correct settings are turned on, however, still no communication to the iCloud.
    Am I expecting too much?  I'd really like to buy a MacBook Air to use Numbers at work, however, I can't justify the cost if none of these devices will talk to each other.  What I really need is for my iPhone or iPad to have up to the minute versions of my Numbers files which will be mainly edited on a laptop or desktop.  Any suggestions.  Thanks.

    Your understanding of how iWork document syncing works is correct.
    Have you enabled document syncing on each of your iOS devices. (settings > iCloud, and setting > pages > iCloud etc etc)
    If you still can't get it all syncing try turning off syncing on all your devices and then turning it on all of them again. (you might ant to save any documents already on your iOS devices to iTunes for safety before turning syncing off)

  • How do I set up imessage across multiple devices

    I am trying to link my phone mobile number and my apple ID to the same imessage account, so I can text across multiple devices.

    In addition to Amy's comment, set the Caller ID on your phone to the same email address that is associated with your apple ID (and which should be used on iMessage on your other devices).  This way the messages will stay synced across all devices.

  • Messaging across multiple devices

    Me and my family use the same account across multiple devices. How can I make sure they do not have the ability to view my imessages and more specifically the ones connected with my phone number?

    But in order to have access to the same music and apps library they need the password. Is there anyway to password protect iMessage separately or even get my phone number to not be associated with iMessage in any way?

  • Sync data across multiple clients

    I am create an application in flex that pulls and pushes data to a MySQL database.  This program will have multiple clients logged in at the same time.  I am wondering what the best way to ensure that the data is accurately updated across all of the clients would be.

    Can you explain what you mean exactly by sockets?
    Is there any way to Sync data across multiple clients without the crazy expensive cost of LCDS?

  • Frequent Connection Drops Across Multiple Devices (Macs, PC's, iPhone)

    I have the Airport Extreme Base Station, running the latest firmware (v5.7) and across the entire house, across multiple devices (Macbook Pro, iPhone, Dell Laptop), the Airport's signal will drop from 5/5 bars down to 1/5 or to 0. Even while very close to the access point itself.
    The Macbook Pro is running the latest version of Leopard with all firmware updates applied. The Dell is running Windows XP SP3, all latest drivers installed. The iPhone (first gen) is running the latest firmware.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Everytime the signal drops from 5/5 to 1/5, sometmes 0, ... if I click on the airport status in the menubar, it says Scanning. Disable Airport, re-enable, and I'm good to go. This is very frustrating especially when using the iChat video chat.
    I could have purchased a far lesser expensive generic Linksys or Netgear router, but decided to go with Apple for their trusted name in electronic devices. I paid a pretty penny expecting a better product than the competition, yet it doesn't seem to perform as well as the generic routers out there.
    What can I do to fix this problem, or do I need an entirely new Airport altogether? If it's the latter... I learned my lesson and Linksys/Netgear here I come.

    I see the base station has a port for an external antenna. Is this a standard jack (like RP-SMA) that I could use any antenna with? Or does that port still pass through the (failing) Airport card inside?
    The external antenna would, effectively, bypass the unit's internal antenna. However, as you already surmised, it would still require the internal AirPort Extreme card as well.
    And price wise would it make sense to invest in a new antenna or just get a new WAP?
    I would go with a new WAP. Either way, I would go with a vendor that has a good return policy just in case this doesn't solve the problem.

  • ITunes match across multiple devices?

    Is it possible to use iTunes match across multiple devices?  My wife and I use the same computer when at home and we have music stored on that computer. She had her own Apple id to use with her own iPhone, as do I.  We don't want to have multiple music libraries since we liste to most of the same music.  Is it possible to have iTunes match between 2 iPhones that are using different Apple id's but the same iTunes account?
    Thanks

    When I try to go to iTunes music match on her phone it asks me to sign into match, which I am assuming is the same as her Apple ID name and password.  This is a different name and password than my account.  So, it seems that she cannot access my "cloud" from her phone in order to download music that I have purchased.  I guess since she has her own iClud account, she needs to sign up for iTunes match through that account and pay the fee.  I was hoping we could access the same 'Cloud" to have the same library of music? Hope that made sense.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello
    I was wondering if there is a way of syncing the sent mail folder across my iPhone, iPad and MBA?
    For instance if I send an email from my Air using OSX Mail and my Apple email address. I have no record of this email having been sent when I look at the sent mail boxs on my iPhone or iPad. And the same if I've sent the mail from the iOS device it doesn't show up on the laptop sent mail folder?
    Can't see a trick around this, any ideas?
    Thanks

    okay found it...
    this only pertains to iCloud accounts
    iOS devices SENT folder defaults to the device. So an email sent from your ipad will be kept on the iPad only. to change this you need to dig a bit...
    on your laptop:
    open Mail preferences, select Accounts at the top and select your iCloud account. and select mailbox behaviour, tick the check box for sent messages, make sure the delete option is set to never.
    okay on each iOS device:
    settings / Mail,contacts, calenders / iCloud / account / advanced / advanced / sent mailbox
    the default for sent mailbox will be on my ipad/iphone. Change this to Sent Messages.
    do this on both iphone and ipad and now your sent mailbox will be mirrored across your ipad / iphone / laptop / iCloud website....
    Easy when you know how...
    See the answer in context

  • Syncing Across Multiple Devices Simply Doesn't Work

    I use an iMac for work, iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I use iCal with multiple calendars (some with repeating events) and sync across all devices via Mobile Me.
    My MacBook always seems to have problems with showing the most updated changes. It almost always shows old events which have been deleted on my iMac already. The only way to fix so far is to Reset Sync Data and replace data on my MacBook with data from Mobile Me cloud.
    I know I'm not the only one with this issue. Everyone is saying that iCal basically *****, especially for syncing. I'd like to believe otherwise.
    Appreciate any help. Thank you.

    I only have two screens, and the second one is not even full.
    I might as well explain you my trouble:
    When I sync, it appears as if the iPhone would not recognize the apps, even when I try to sync only the ones that have the problems, they wouldn´t sync.
    How come?
    There are other applications I have downloaded, where it says, that it won't work with my iPhone due to country permits. whatever, but there's a reason, here I get no reason at all.
    I'd be glad if you have any answers.
