Any way to sync notification status across devices?

Here is my (probably unusual) situation:
I have:
- iPhone 4S
- iPod touch 16GB
- iPad 2
When I'm at the gym I use the iPod touch. I respond to iMessages, Facebook messages, etc.
When I'm at home or at my desk at work, I often use the iPad.
When I'm on the go I use my iPhone.
When I come back home, my iPad might show like 45 unread messages and notifications. Same with the iPod and iPhone and all across the board.
---When I am using one device, is there a way for the read / notification status to sync across all my devices?---

Hi,
In Messages 7 and 8 in Mountain Lion and Mavericks there was a time limit to when the iMessages would last on the server.
The Process involves a push from the server to the devices.
the iMessages server will keep trying to contact the registered devices.
As soon as the device accepts the iMessages it is "removed" from the server as far at that device is concerned.
(i.e.e deleted iMessages on one device are not re-downloaded).
The best guess about how long the iMessages servers try to connect to a device that is Off Line is not clear.
I have seen 48 hours myself.
I presume it is something around long enough for a weekend where you might not have access to a work computer.
However in Mavericks people have reported suddenly getting 9 and 11 day old iMessages after issues about logging in were resolved.
I have updated to iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite  and found today that my iPhone 5 had lost the iPhone Number as a valid ID (the iPhone appeared to only using the Apple ID despite the fact the Users cannot turn off the iPhone Number as ID once the iMessage bit is turned On)
This does mean I have not synced some of my recent iMessages to the Number (I first noticed it was absent in the settings on the Mac)

  • Any way to sync Message conversations across devices?

    I just upgraded my MBPR to Yosemite and it appears I lost all my Message conversations.  Or, maybe they weren't there as this device is off a lot of the time.
    When I log in to the same account I use on all my other devices, shouldn't it sync the conversations to the MBPR?  Right now, it's just showing new texts in existing conversations.

  • Any way to sync icalendar across 4 different iphones, each with a different icloud account?, Any way to sync icalendar across 4 different iphones, each with a different icloud account?

    Basically the subject describes my question. Any way to sync icalendar across 4 iphones? so each of us could access the app, change an event time, location, etc. and it would edit across all 4 devices. Any pointers would be super helpful. thanks

    You can share an iCloud calendar. Easiest way... log into icloud.com from a browser on your computer. Go to the calendar. Create a calendar to share. Click the little wifi-looking sharing icon next to the calendar name, invite the people you want to share it with, and Bob's your uncle.

  • Is there any way of syncing mail on mac with mail on iphone so if you open an email on one it is marked as read on the other?

    The title speaks for itself. It's very anoying opening a message on the iphone and when you get to the mac all the messages you read allready on the iphone are not opened yet. Is there any way of syncing them so if you open a mail in iphone its marked 'read' in mac?
    Thanks in advance

    Such behavior requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Sounds like you have a POP account & that's the way that POP accounts work. POP was designed for an age when users had only one device...a computer, thus POP doesn't play well in the modern world where users have multiple devices.

  • Is there any way to know that status of DEFINE variable?

    Hi,
    I have a list of scripts that is executed to create my baseline database. At the beginning of the script execution, we have a SET DEFINE OFF and at the end we put SET DEFINE ON. During one of the scripts, we deliberately SET DEFINE ON and we forgot to SET DEFINE OFF at the end of the script. Consequently, the following scripts started failing without error notification because they contained '&' in the INSERT query. I have the following queries:
    1. Is there any way to know the status of the DEFINE variable at the beginning of the script?
    2. Since the oracle gives a user interrupted error, the script execution process does not terminate with error. Instead, it continues executing the next scripts. Is there a general way to capture such errors and terminate the script execution. We already have WHENEVER SQLERROR and WHENEVER OSERROR in our script execution process.

    1. Is there any way to know the status of the DEFINE variable at the beginning of the script?Whether it's at the beginning of a script, later in the script, or not in a script at all, the SQL*Plus command
    SHOW DEFINEtells you if DEFINE is ON or OFF.
    If DEFINE is ON, it will produce something like:
    define "&" (hex 26)If DEFINE is OFF, it will produce
    define OFF
    2. Since the oracle gives a user interrupted error, the script execution process does not terminate with error. Instead, it continues executing the next scripts.

We already have WHENEVER SQLERROR and WHENEVER OSERROR in our script execution process.Do you really need to capture those errors? Why not just prevent them? It sounds like you want to make sure DEFINE is OFF at a certain point. To do that, just say
    SET  DEFINE  OFFRegardless of whether DEFINE was ON or OFF before you issue that command, you can be sure it will be OFF after that.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a complete test script (or set of scripts) that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
    Point out where the scripts you post are not doing what you want, and describe, with specific examples, what you want it to do in those places.

  • Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

    Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

    We have 2200 student iPads on our school campus. When starting from scratch they all receive one identical image and then are renamed according to their property tag (manually ). Students are then checked out their device for the school year and often move their apps around into folders. I often have some come back in to be synced, updated, etc. and I do mid-year updates to apps. As long as their names are unique I have no issues with them retaining folders when they are resented late. So basically as long as you don't mind doing the set up to each one of the 20 the first time you sync them, you can update them whenever you'd like, adding and updating apps, and you can retain folders.
    And of course there are all sorts of other options with Configurator and other MDMs. 

  • Any way to sync Mac Reminders to iPhone reminders?

    Is there any way to sync Mac reminders with the iPhone/iPad?
    It is really inconvenient to have to list the same reminder in three different places

    Go to the Applications folder on your MacBook and open iCal. In the iCal menu, choose Preferences, or hit Command-Comma on your keyboard. In the Accounts pane, you’ll want to add a new account, and then choose iCloud from the drop down lists of choices. Type in your iTunes ID and password in the fields that follow. Make sure the account is Enabled, and set the refresh rate to something that fits your activity volume, from every one minute to every hour. You can also set this interval manually. Once enabled on your Mac, go to your iOS devices and be sure to have iCloud enabled, at least for Reminders. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, and tap on the iCloud button. Use the same iTunes account for iCloud that you did in the previous step. Be sure that Reminders is toggled to ON. Do this on each iOS device you want to sync your reminders to. Once these steps are done, you should be good to go.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

  • Is there any way to sync essbase heirarchy to MDM ?

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any way to Sync essbase heirarchy to MDM ?
    I want to put essbase outline to MDM...the need is not to create a new heirarchy in MDM and use existing heirarchy/ outline from Essbase ..

    Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
    Hope this helps...

  • Any way to sync hotmail with outlook on my mbp?

    any way to sync hotmail with outlook on my mbp?

    In order to sync my Xoom with my desktop, (and to test out the solution suggested above) the instructions for syncing are to download Firefox, then restart Firefox. Of course that will download Firefox 5, but if I do that, it will defeat the purpose of trying to work with an earlier version. I have been unable to activate the sync with the firefox version now on my desktop (3.16, I think). Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • TS3999 Using OS Mavericks. Any way to sync Contacts & Calendars without using iCloud? Don't always have internet!

    Any way to sync ical and contacts without internet?!!

    Not unless you want to install OS X server and set up your own CardDAV and CalDAV server as explained here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html.  That would allow you to sync contacts and calendars locally with your Mac as you could before Mavericks.
