Address behavior different from Mac Address

A few evenings ago, I deleted several names out of a group on the iPad Address app. I found that unlike Mac Address app, the name didn't just get deleted from the group but completely from the iPad address book!!!! Rather than re-enter all the information, I made the mistake of syncing with the Mac. I checked the box to replace the info on the iPad with the Mac. There was a warning that "some of the names might be duplicated from MobileMe".
Well, ALL the names were duplicated - over 330 names - which I had to manually delete every duplicate which took about 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I knew how, I would remove Calendars from iDisk/MobileMe so this would not happen again. This does not happen with other synced items. Why does Address behave like this? Shouldn't Mac sync to MobileMe and the iPad but not bring the info to the iPad from both?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How to reset .Mac Sync explains how To reset your .Mac Sync data in Mac OS X 10.4:
You can follow that procedure EXCEPT...Step 5. Do Not click the right arrow! You want your data to flow in the opposite direction.
Good Luck.

ICloud on phone different from Mac

Hello,
I am not sure how I did this, but my I Cloud on my phone is for one email address and the I Cloud on my mac (which is the one I use) is for a different one. I can't delete the account for my phone until I enter in the password (it's an old apple ID from 4 years ago) and I can't renew the password since every time I try to, Apple reverts back to my other Apple ID email. Suggestions?
Thanks!

You can't turn on iCloud on your iPhone through a MacBook. You can't control the iPhone with a Mac

Div tag looks different from mac to pc?

I have a very simple page with a background image as a CSS style (centered). I added a Div tag on the top and built a form inside of the div tag. The div tag is set to absolute positioning and looks great in dreamweaver and the pc. I tested it on my mac and the whole div/form moves all the way to the left side of the screen. I appreciate any help.

Try this code instead of what you have now.

AS2 Keyboard Controls Different from Mac to Windows

I'm using the following code to allow the user to pause playback by pressing the Enter key on a Mac:
begin.onPress = function(){
    play();
pause.onPress = function(){
    stop();
next.onPress = function(){
    play();
The main clip plays and when I press the Enter key on the keyboard, it stops. I also have some stops in some Frames so it stops at various scenes. Press Enter again and it plays. But on Windows it doesn't work. I have to press Alt-Enter for it to work. Is there a way to get Windows keyboards to work the way I want, the same way that it works on a Mac?
Thanks!
Dan

External HDD permissions differs from Mac and Win

I just bought an external Hard Drive LaCie which asked at the first setup if I was going to use it for Mac, Windows or both.
Of course, I picked both as I will be moving around with it.
I can read, write on Mac. However, I only can read on Bootcamp.
I was not able to change the permissions on the Windows side (right button on the HDD does not display me any permissions options like mentionned in my research).
In my permissions on Mac, everything in Read & Write.
PLEASE HELP, it has been driving me crazy
Cheers,
PacoSG

Easy fix, this will erase everything on it no other way
Connect to OSX, open disk utility, select external drive on left hand side
Click partition tab, select 1 under options - this is KEY - change to MBR
Format will be exfat
Run it

Is there an email account that will allow me to use a different from address with a POP account

Need to be able to delete emails (I have an Optonline address) from iphone and ipad during the day, while retaining them on Mac Book Pro to view and file into folders in the evening.
Seemed like I could have my optonline emails forwarded to a Gmail account and just set up the Mac's mail to use my optonline account, while the iPad and iPhone used my Gmail account. That worked, except for one issue - when I sent mail from the iPad or iPhone it would use my Gmail address and then people who used "reply" would have their replies sent back to my Gmail account. I wanted to continue to use my optonline address since I have had this address for many, many years. I saw that Gmail allows you to "send using a different from address", however because optonline is a POP account, they do not support the settings in Gmail and therefore I cannot get my optonline address to be verified by Gmail, meaning my emails continued to be sent from my Gmail address on my iPhone.
I even tried setting up the Gmail account manually (using "Other" in the ipone settings) and putting in a comma with my optonline address in the address field, but still no success.
Next, thought I'd try Yahoo mail - same thing - only sends mail with my Yahoo account.
Then looked into iCloud since I use that for syncing Contacts and Calendars on all 3 devices - same thing - I can only send email using the @me.com address.
Does anyone know of any other mail account that will work with my POP Optonline email address? After 10+ years with this email address, having to announce to my world that I am changing my address (either to Gmail, Yahoo, or the iCloud's @me.com address) is something I really don't want to do.
However, leaving just my optonline account on all 3 devices means I am constantly deleting the same emails on 3 devices everyday, which is also just not an effective use of my time.
Please help!

Here's one possibility:

The only way to keep students in the presentation, though, would be to lock the iPads to that app via the Guided Access mode:

Whether you can do this remotely through one of the various mobile device management (MDM) soutions I don't know.

Why are emails downloaded with the subject and from address different from what is actually in the email?

The subject and from address listed in the message pane are totally different from what is in the actual email, viewed either in the preview pane or when the email is opened. The emails are correct when viewed online. For example:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email C
After downloading to Thunderbird:
Email subject A from Sender A - email A
Email subject B from Sender B - email B
Email subject C from Sender C - email A *** Subject and Sender for C but is actually email A
This started happening within the past month and appears to be random. Sometimes everything is correct. But more often there are a few that exhibit the above behavior. I have multiple email address downloading from the same domain but this problem seems to occur ostly with my main email account.

Try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder

Same email address, different 'from' name

Hi - I would like to be able to send an email from ios to a 3rd party and choose who the recipient sees that it comes from, but use the one email address. So 1 'name' is my personal name, 1 is my business name.
I host a domain and I have sent up 2 email accounts in ios with different usernames let's say [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] is set to divert to [email protected] on a server level, so ALL emails sent to either x or y, go to x. So I have both set up on my Mac, y doesn't get email, so I don't get double ups - when I want to send from a different user name, I just send from the other account.
Now ios has the same ability in theory and when I set it up the same way, it all works BUT the recipient receives the email from my personal name, despite me sending it from my business name???
Anyone have a fix or answer??!!
TIA!!

Hi there
I'm staying at a Novotel in Edinburgh. Their wireless shows up as "Orange France". The BT FON map shows it as a "single hotspot operated by a roaming partner".
While I can select "FON" from the list of providers for login, when I use my @btinternet email address as the login I am denied access.
Should I have a FON account name different from my btinternet email address. Is my FON password the same as my email password?
Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben. Welcome to the forums.
The BTFon access is via the primary email address and associated password.
Does the list of providers actually say BTFon or BTOpenzone ?

Sending from a different (From:) address

While I am able to send email from my iPhone/iPad from an address different from my iCloud address, I don't see any way of doing it on my Mac (if I choose to use the web-client, instead of Mail). Am I right or is there something I have missed? Thanks for whatever help you are able to provide.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There shouldn't be any reason you can't use additional email accounts alongside your iCloud account, I do.
Do you still have your alternate account set up on the iPhone, settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts.

My iMac address book is different from the iCloud address book. Why

My iCloud address book and the addresses on my iPhones and iPads and a second are different from the address book on my iMac. My computer seems complete, the others are missing addresses which appear in my iMac addresses. How can I get the iCloud addresses to synch with my iMac address book?

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.

Can I import address book info from mac 10.5 to 10.7

Can I import address book info from Mac 10.5 to 10.7? It tells me "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.0.6."

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try moving just the folder at Mac HD/users/~/Library/Application Support/Address Book from 10.5 to the same location in 10.7.
Or in Address Book on the old Mac go to the File menu and choose Export Contacts Archive, copy that file to the new Mac and in Address Book on the new Mac go to File menu Import, browse to the archive file on the new Mac and choose it.

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.

Retrieve Addresses from .Mac

Somehow my iMac dumped all the addresses in my address book. Nowhere to be found on the computer. I backed up to .Mac account with iSynch but how do I download them back to my desktop?

1badfrog,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How to reset .Mac Sync has a step-by-step procedure for resetting Sync data.
Your circumstances dictate that you should/must modify Step #5. In your case it should read: Click the left arrow button so that the orange arrow flows from the .Mac icon to the Computer icon in the window, and the text above the icons says "On this computer sync info from .Mac."

Question about importing from mac mail to folder in address book

Is it possible to place imported email addresses (Mac email) into specific folder(s) in Address Book rather than into just the All Folder.? For example, I have several business addresses that I want to import from Mac Mail automatically into my Business Folder and several others that I want to go into Friends Folder. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks
iMac Intel Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Mac OS X (10.3.7)

The Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database.
If you use iTunes then you know you can't place a song in a playlist without the song being in the primary iTunes database first and the same with iPhoto. You can't place a photo in an album with the photo being in the main iPhoto library first.
The same with Address Book. You can't place a contact in an Address Book group without the contract being in the primary Address Book "All" Group and I'm not aware of a way to place a contact in the primary All group and in a designated group at the same time.
