Accessing BT Internet email on IPAD/IPHONE and oth...

I am getting increasingly frustrated with inconsistent access to emails. When viewing on our main laptop, it seems to be OK but from other laptops (via webmail) or on IPAD/IPHONE or ANDROID many messages never come through and especially if they have been accessed on the main laptop - it seems to have a priority setting which then means the messages never appear on the other devices ? I can think of no reson for this and have tried various set up options and checks - I cannot believe I am the only person suffering from this. Any help much appreciated.

If you are using POP3 access on your laptop, you need to make sure that the e-mail program is configured to leave a copy on the server. Otherewise they will be downloaded, then deleted off the server, so your other devices will not see the messages.
Alternatively, you would have to setup your e-mail program to use IMAP and not POP3.

Deleting email on iPad, iPhone and IMac questions

Our current settings have deleted email removed after 1 day and remove from server is set at never.
If we change the settings to remove from the server on the iPad and iPhone, will we loose it on the IMac or will it still be available?
We get a lot of duplicate emails to delete and don't want to use ICloud at all until we feel our info is safe.
Thank you for your help!

Multiple devices on a pop account are slow death. I finally dumped Comcast and a 20 yr e mail address over the issue.
If you delete from server, and the Mac has not yet gone and gotten the message, it is gone. The only way to manage mail across multiple devices is to use an I map account. You can read, delete, save and archive messages from any of the devices, and the action is replicated across all.
( the cloud is not the answer, although, in a broad sense, I map is all ready in the cloud....)
See if your ISP offers both impa and pop options. If so, all you need to do is flip your account to iMac. If not, then forever you will be getting and deleting duplicate copies of the same messages, and if you start deleting from the server, you will begin to lose stuff you thought you wanted to keep.
Keep in kind that the pad will delete stuff out of your inbox when you reach the limit on the number of items you specified in settings.

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

How do I sync my email between my iPhone and iPad?

A razmee209 said, set up your email in settings on both devices.
iPhone email will always be up to date.
The iPad will update when it has internet connection. If it is a wifi only iPad, it will only update when connected to wifi, but will do so automatically.

You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

TS1398 I have connected my iPad 2 to my Mac Air over blue tooth. Booth say they are connected to each other. But I can not access the internet on the IPAD. I can connect over blue tooth from my iPhone to my iPad with no issue. Any thoughts? Thank you

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank you

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together. I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad. Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted. What gives?

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks-

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

Read thier own support document on the subject then
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
That's how it works, and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

Help with Mobileme, iCloud, iPad, iPhone and MS Outlook 2010

Hello,
WHAT I HAVE NOW
I'm in a bit of mess and don't want to proceed until I can get some answers. I have an iPad, iPhone and a PC (Windows 7). I have a mobileme account also. I also have iCloud Control Panel installed on my PC and recently bought MS Outlook 2010 to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and get this whole synching thing under control. Everything has been updated to the latest versions for iCloud.
I have an att.net email account (ran by Yahoo Pop3), live.com account, hotmail account, gmail account, mobileme account. I have contacts in my most of these email accounts but there are many duplicates and info needs to be updated. With iCloud and mobileme running, I have numerous calendars and can't get any of them synched.
WHAT I WANT
I would like to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and use the iCloud Control Panel and MS Outlook 2010 to synch my mail, contacts and calendars from my PC, iPhone 4s and iPad (version). I only want ONE calendar and ONE contact list. Can there be a MASTER contact list within Outlook 2010 instead of all of these contacts from various email accounts? If so, would I create a master contact list within Outlook 2010 and then go to the various web email programs and delete their contacts? How to I get these calendars under control with one Home calendar?
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR
I started to migrate from mobileme to iCloud but stopped to install MS Outlook 2010 first. I installed MS Outlook 2010 and got all of my email accounts imported even having to manually move the att.net (Yahoo Pop3) messages because the folders and emails within would not transfer from Windows Live Email to Outlook. Currently having problems trying to get the contacts unduplicated and corrected but when I save a newly corrected contact, it disappears. Are these contacts synching as I insert them and then disappearing? Should I go offline to create correct this contact list? What will happen when I add iCloud to the mix? Will I have to go back and correct all duplicates again? Can someone provide the order of these steps to take the least amount of time?
I know this is a lot but it's fairly complicated to me and I also have another person in my house that has a PC, iPad and iPhone for whom I have to do the same thing. Trying to not waste time and do this the right way first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I backed up everything and finally took the leap to migrate from mobileme to iCloud. With a few glitches all seems to be working except that iCloud did not grab the updated and current Contact list from MS Outlook 2010 and seems to have an outdated contact list with only half the number of contacts.
Can someone help me get iCloud to grab the correct contact list out of MS Outlook 2010 so that it can be distributed to my iPad and iPhone also? Thanks!
