TS3988 Problem setting up e-mail on Mac, iPad and iPhone

I am having a major problem with my e-mai @me.com
1) I have a Mac running Mountain Lion;
2) The new iPad all up to date
3) An iPhone 4 also up to date.
iCloud e-mail on the web works perfectly, sending and receiving.
On my Mac, I was able to configure as an IMAP account, but not using the standard settings provided by OS
Both iPad and iPhone, while using the same and only Apple ID I have, do not recognize the default e-mail server.
Notes only work between iPad and iPhone. Notes on Mac never worked since installation. It says it cannot be setup at the moment and ask to do it later... and has been doing that in the last 15 days...
What should I do?

GOing by what others have posted, hotmail seems to be having issues. There may be not much for you do to but to wait it out. You can always try removing and then readding your account info.

    Trying to get my Facebook notifications/mail on my iPad and iPhone.Getting them fine on my PC

    Hello Texancharm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not receiving notifications for specific apps on your iOS devices, then please check your settings to ensure they're enabled correctly.
    Not getting notifications for a specific app
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled. 
    Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
    If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.

  • HT1694 All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

    My home sharing is on on my Mac ,iPad and iPhone but I can't steel connect to my apple tv

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

    Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

    You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

  • Does mac mail sync with ipad and iphone mail?

I receive mail on my mac, iphone, and ipad but after I read it I have to delete on each device to remove it.

  • ICloud syncing Documents on Mac, Ipad, and iPhone Not working

              Hi all!,
    Can someone help me understand something. I'm working on a page document and it synced to icloud fine. I can see the document on Ipad and iphone BUT i can't figure out how to see it on my Macbook Pro. Can someone give me some ideas what i need to do so i can take all that mobile working on to my desktop ?
    Anyone that knows how to do this step by step would be a great help.

    The problem is that there is not a single application that makes use of this on a Mac. Not even iWork09 v9.1 where everybody thought it would sync to the cloud and to iOS5 - it does not.
    Iwork Users need to open Safari, go to www.icloud.com, into the iwork section there in the browser and drag and drop the files from Mac to the cloud this way to have the documents in the cloud and have them available onto their iOS5 , too.
    No way around that clumsy solution.
    "documents and data" is currently limited to iWork for iOS only. ( Sketchbook Pro for iOS and a handful of mini apps start using it too, on iOS that is all - not on Mac ) .

  • Suddenly unable las 36 hrs to access yahoo mail server on iPad and iPhone. What is going on, how to fix?  Have tried resetting mail accounts to no avail.

    Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
    Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
    Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
    Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
    This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
    Save the changes
    Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
    Add a new account
    De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
    Enter your email account info for @me.com
    On the incoming mail server page
    Enter the account type as IMAP
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
    on the outgoing mail server page
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
    Check use only this server
    And your problems SHOULD be solved
    If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
    Good luck!

  • HT4910 hello i have installed icloud on my mac, ipad and iphone. but when i create a document on my mac it does not show up on Pages file in my Ipad/ How do i get it to go from one to the other? and how do i back up to icloud from my Mac

    Hello
    I have uploaded and installed ICLOUD to all three of my devices MAC, i pad nd Iphone.
    From Ipad to Iphone i am able to retrieve PAGES documents as i write them. BUT now that i am back home i see that none of the new documents i am working on which are stored on my desktop are showing up in my PAGES file on my Ipad or Phone.
    How do i save to icloud from mac, how come i can't retrieve docs from IPAD to MAC either?
    should i back up my mac ICLOUD FIRST? and if so, Where do i back it up from?
    going mad as i edit on one during the day and the other in the evening , and would like them to sync automatically
    please can you help
    thanks
    marellaopp

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • Mail crashes in iPad and iPhone when sending reply

    A very odd thing keeps happening this morning - I am trying to respond to an email, and every time I hit send, the mail app crashes. I attempted to respond to the same email on my iPhone, and the same thing happened. I tried sending a test email to myself, and that worked. Any ideas on what the problem could be and how I could fix it?

    Hi Kristina...
    Try "resetting" the devices...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try again. If that didn't help, on one device tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that helped, do the same for the other device.

  • Mac, iPad and iPhone show different iCloud Drive content

    I'm getting mad about iCloud drive.
    For hours I try to get all my devices in sync. But they all show different content. In Finder I can see only 4 app folders containing the documents (actually pages, keynote, numbers and pdfexpert). Browsing the iCloud drive on the iPad for example using the pages app I can also see a GoodReader folder and some more. Some of them are empty folders (maybe empty folders are hidden on mac by default?) but some of them contain folders and files which obviously won't download to my Mac.
    There are also some folders related to apps I removed from all my devices. It's ok if these app's iCloud folders stay in the cloud if they contain any documents but they stay there even if they are empty and there seems to be no way to remove these folders manually (even the web interface of iCloud greys out the trash when such a folder is selected).
    When I use OS X Preferences to remove some old app's iCloud content I can do this for some of them but then (all of a sudden - can be after two of ten removals) the list on the left side shows only "Backups" (or sometimes "Backups" and an unspecific "Documents") and you have to close the Preferences and reopen it a little later to see the complete list again. And showing the app icons seems to be a problem too (including the iPad / iPhone preferences -> iCloud) - some of them are shown, for some of them there are only placeholders.
    Am I doing it wrong or are these common problems?

    Same problem here – specifically, the CONTENTS of "iCloud Drive" are different when accessed:
    A) in the Finder on Yosemite
    B) on the web at iCloud.com
    C) on an iOS device
    The MAJOR problem for me is that my Goodreader folder only shows up on the iOS device, making it impossible for me to access my Goodreader files. This is a huge issue for me as my workflow depends on having access to those files.
    In general, however, it's ridiculous that you can copy data to iCloud Drive on your iOS device and then you cannot read that data anywhere else.

  • Mail Program on Ipad and Iphone

    How can you select either all or a group of emails to trash at one time.  Do you have to just use EDIT and select one email at a time?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
