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. -
(Not) synchronizing apps across multiple devices; how to?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I would like to sync an iPhone and iPod touch with iTunes but do not want the same apps and content on both devices. I know I can set what to sync individually when it comes to movies, music and photos.
When I transferred my apps from iPod to iPhone (the iPod prior to this did not sync apps), all I did was press sync, then connected the iPhone and pressed sync and all (well, almost. 12 went missing, including two paid ones) went over. So it seems that whatever apps synchronized to iTunes will sync across all devices connected to it.
Which is good when I want to transfer but I don't want it now. I try to stop app sync between iPod and iTunes and it tells me "all existing applications and data will be erased". How do I manage apps on each device individually?
Cheerio,

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.
DavidFirst 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.

My wife and I are having trouble with her iphone and ipad. They were given to her by her employer and their tech support is minimal. When she downloads an app to one device, it may or may not appear on the other device. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. We even went as far as resetting them and activating them both with a brand new apple id so that we could start fresh and smoothly govern the apps. The same problem exists. Any suggestions?
Wow! Way, way behind. Jailbroken?
With 4.2, there is no purchase history displayed. You (probably) can safely download it and won't be charged.

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.

Buying apps across multiple devices?
Okay, so my son recently bought the app Word WELDER on his computer (he uses my iTunes account, though). I am not able to use my computer currently (and this will be for the next week or so), but I want this game. I would prefer not syncing with my son's library until then (because there are lots of complications with iTunes and syncing to different computers). But when I look at the App Store on my iPhone (4), and I get to the Word WELDER app, it asks me to buy it. Why doesn't it just ask me to download? I mean, I already bought this app in my account. Will I need to wait for my computer back? Or is there a way to get it without buying it again on my iPhone? I think that clicking on "buy" may prompt a window to open that says I already bought it, and downloads it, but I'm too afraid because it may not. 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. -
Managing installed apps for multiple devices
Is there a way to create an "app playlist" in order to easily create a common set of installed apps across multiple devices? I'm tired of having to install the same app on each of my kids devices. Also, I don't want to enable auto install new apps because I don't necessarily want my kids to get apps that I'm installing on my devices.
ThanksThe un-compatible updates will not install on the iPod.
Make sure that you retain a copy of the version that is compatible with iOS 4.2.1 since you can only redownload the latest version version from the App store.
I would backuyp the library to an external HD by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
Note that when you update an app on the iPod and then sync, the update apps is also synced to the iTunes library. -
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.

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?

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.
