Syncing with iTunes deleted mail account on iPhone

iPhone: 5, iOS 6.1
Mac: MacOS 10.6.8
I have a number of accounts defined in my Mac mail and when I set up my iPhone and sync'd with with iTunes, it successfully created those accounts in the Mail app on the iPhone, very nice.
However, I had to change the server parameters of one of the mail accounts on the Mac and when I sync'd again with the iPhone, the mail account was deleted on the iPhone.  The new mail server parameters had been verified on the Mac before I sync'd with the iPhone.
How do I get the sync operation to re-create that mail account on my iPhone?  and why was the account deleted on my iPhone?

Deleting one account in iPhone will result in all the duplicate accounts being erased at the same time.
The problem is that iTunes shows duplicate accounts in its account list. Syncing again brings back the duplicate accounts to the iPhone. I can't figure out how to reset this list.

  • Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

  • Delete mail account on iPhone without deleting contacts

    I can find no way to delete all mail at one time on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 except to delete the account. Then I get the message that deleting the account will also delete the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes—which I do NOT want to do. So, two questions:
    1. Is there a way to delete all the mail at one time? Or at least one mailbox at a time?
    2. Is there a way to delete the account without deleting the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I called Apple support and they managed to solve my problem
    They gave me the following instructions:
    1. Go to appleid.apple.com, press "Manage your Apple-ID" and write in your current apple-id and password.
    2. Change your primary mailadress to your OLD mailadress (your old apple-id).
    3. Log on to your old email and confirm.
    4. Now you can write your ordinary password on iCloud in your iPhone, using your old apple-ID.
    (Settings > iCloud)
    5. If you would like to keep that apple-ID, you don't have to do anything else. If you rather want the previous apple-ID, you first delete the account on your iPhone.
    6. Change back your primary email address as it was before (on appleid.apple.com), and log on to your email to confirm.
    7. Now you can type in your current apple-ID account on iCloud. (Settings > iCloud)
    This solved it for me anyways!
    Sorry for the bad english

  • My Notes sync with a random mail account...

    I recently registered, while I added it as a new e-mail account into Mail on my MacBook. This e-mail account was never "known" to my iPhone. I really wonder why and how did this happen...?

    Right...thanks for that...but, from all that I understand, OWA offers only email OTA...not calendar nor contacts nor anything else. As I said earlier, invites that arrive in email will go onto the BB calendar since they come in as an email. But, if an appointment is, for instance, added directly to the Outlook calendar, then it will not appear on the BB calendar.
    All of the behavior you describe does not match with the behavior as I understand it for a BIS/OWA connection. All of the behavior you describe does match a BES connected device (with some problems in erroneously auto-deleting calendar items).
    Hence, all of the confusion...sorry I can't be more help.

  • Will syncing with iTunes delete all my stuff?

    My computer crashed the other day. The HDD was destroyed and I had no choice but to buy a new one and install iTunes again. I still got my 2g Ipod Touch filled with valuable family photos, music and, of course, apps.
    Nedless to say these are things i would prefer not to loose.
    Now here is my question. Can I sync my Ipod Touch with my iTunes on my new computer? *Will I risk having all my data and apps deleted?* And if so is there any way I can transfer my apps to iTunes.
    I would very much want to upgrade to iOS 4.1 so I will have to sync my iPod to iTunes sooner or later.
    *Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!*

    iTunes can only be synced with one computer. If you sync your iPod with a different computer it will erase all items on your iPod. You will find some suggestions in a post by Zevoneer on how to transfer from iPod to computer here:

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • Error message when trying to Sync with itunes

    Hi
    I seem to get error messages when I try to sync with itunes. I have the iphone 3G. Also all my music and videos seem to have carried across, all except one, it's very odd. Latest error message reads:
    "itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
    I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
    Any clues?

    "itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
    This error is associated with ringtones, are you trying to sync a ringtone, purchase a ringtone...need more info...
    I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
    Are you on Windows XP? Is this the error message...iTunes displays -50 error message? If so, follow these directions:

  • I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks

    I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
    P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

  • What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • Restored Iphone App always deleted when synced with iTunes

    I inadverantly deleted the iPhone App, 1Password. Although I am able to re-install it by either a new download from the Apple Store or by a full iTunes Restore, the app keeps getting purged from my iPhone everytime I sync with iTunes. How do I correct this?

    Check your list of applications in iTunes. If it isn't there go to the App store and download it again. Connect your iPhone and before syncing starts select the iPhone in the sidebar to the left and then select the applications tab across the top. Find 1Password in the list and make sure it has a checkmark.

  • Contacts deleting by themselves and iPhone needs a full backup restore after refusing to sync with iTunes. - Pls Help!

    I have had my new iPhone 5s since the middle of December 2013 and I really enjoy it, however, I'm finding the iOS a little unstable.
    I backup often - whether to iCloud or to my iMac at my office or to my Acer Windows 7 based Notebook at home, and I have had to do a full backup restore of my phone software after it suddenly refused to sync with iTunes. The only option open to me was "Restore iPhone" which also is a nuisance and takes a little while if you have a lot of content on your phone. I've had to do this 3 times now and it's getting on my nerves!
    Also, as I type this, my contacts are suddenly removing themselves from my phone book. I discovered this as I was going through my Whatsapp messages when I noticed a few numbers in my recent chats that didn't have names or contact pictures. When I scrolled to the top of the message, I noticed that the "add contact" detail was suddenly available. I immediately checked my phone book and noticed that those contacts are no longer available. A lot of my numbers are suddenly showing up like this within the last hour and I haven't changed any settings at all. I back up to my notebook and iCloud once a week. This problem is a first for me  as well.
    I must point out that I never had these issues with my iPhone 3GS which was only becoming cumbersome due to its outdated OS and because of its processing speed.
    Will I need to wait for the next IOS Update to solve this problem, or will I have to find an alternative solution?
    Any advice you have to offer would be most welcome.

    Simplify your question,will you? I have trouble in reading such a long English article.
