Are Exchange accounts no longer the way to go for email, contacts, calendar, etc. with iOS 7?

I have been reading around and learning that Google is not supporting Exchange accounts for ios7 any longer. I believe they still work if you previously used them. But I've also had some trouble with syncing elements of this account to my iPad.
Is it recommended to use Google accounts instead of Exchange with the iPad/iPhone?
One residual advantage of Exchange, when it works, is outlined in this thread.
thanks in advance.

Thanks. I cannot get all the calendars to sync with Google Exchange. So I double up with Google and select the calendars that won't sync.
The down side of Google is that you cannot change colors of calendars (and I have a few that are obscuring each other). That's the main reason I am syncing to both at once (or rather to the obstinate calendars).
I'd love to find a way to get all cals to sync via exchange, but they won't, above all my main personal google calendar. They work fine on the iPhone, just not on the iPad since I deleted the account and reinstalled it.

  • How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

    How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

  • Best way to set up email/contacts/calendar on iPhone and 2 PCs?

    Here's what I want to accomplish on the iPhone, at as little (no) cost as possible:
    1. Personal comcast.net email account. I currently have this configured with "Delete from server" set to "When removed from inbox". At least this way if I read and delete an email on the iPhone, it is removed from the Comcast server and will not download again onto my PC. I don't think there is a way for me to delete an email on the PC and have it sync to the iPhone like the BlackBerry can do with BIS (not BES). Correct?
    2. I would like to view my comcast.net email from any of my devices: iPhone, PC or Laptop. I'm trying to find a way to have some sort of central location or sync capabilities, so I don't wind up with 3 copies of every email and have to sort/delete them on each device. I've looked a little into Windows Live Mail or Google Mail, but don't know anything about those services.
    3. I would also like to have contacts and calendar entries sync between the iPhone, PC and Laptop. Again, I'm not sure what Windows Live or Google can do for me here. I would like to accomplish the sync without having to cable the iPhone to the PC(s).
    I may wind up with 2 emails (personal and realty) and 2 contact lists and two calendars.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched these and other forums and only seem to confuse myself more!

    Well, unless I'm missing something, I've beat the comcast email to death. Since it is a POP3 account, there's not a lot I can do with it.
    On the iPhone, I have it set to delete from the server when removed from the inbox. At least that way if I delete an email on the iPhone, it should not download onto my PC later when I check mail there. It's not perfect... sometimes if the PC is on and the iPhone is on, the email winds up on both devices and I have to delete it twice. That was one benefit of the BlackBerry BIS system. If I deleted an email off my PC, and it was already downloaded to the BB, it would "sync" it and also delete it off the handheld.
    As for having my comcast email on my iPhone, home PC, and laptop, I just need to manage each one seperately, choosing one device as the "main" device where I file and sort them.
    I will look into Google for mail, contacts and calendar for my realty business.

  • Email / Contacts / Calendar sync with @live.ca account

    One step forward Two steps back!!!
    I am just about ready to give up on BlackBerry
    Right from the beginning not ALL my @live.ca contacts would sync to my Q10,after 3 tries I typed them in manually.  But now after the latest update (10.1.0.4181) both contacts and calendar no longer sync at all!
    Beyond frustrated!!!

    Syncing with cloud-based databases has been problematic for me too. I synced to my Apple iCloud account to get my contacts on my new Q10 but after that initial sync it stopped working. I set up GMail contacts and it never worked. I've also tried Live/Hotmail contacts and got nowhere. BlackBerry Link doesn't sync my contacts on my Mac either. So I'm back to maintaining two contact lists - on my Q10 and on my computers. It wasn't so bad because I had to do that with every phone I've owned until I used an iPhone. As a Mac user the iPhone is a dream as far as syncing contacts and files with iCloud. 

  • How do i set up and ipad for my children using my Itunes account without synching my data from my Iphone? (contacts, calendar, etc

    I do not want or need my contacts and calendar on their ipad, but I would like to use my Itunes account...

    It's easy enough to do. You can share one Apple ID and have your own content on each iPad. You do not have to have the same apps, music, books and so on. Set up the iPad with your Apple ID for purchases. If you want the kids to have their own iCloud accounts so that they can FaceTime and Message you can do that as well. However you do not have to setup additional Apple ID's in order to do that, it just makes it a little easier,
    Anyway, after you set up their iPad - when you go so to sync your devices, you can set your sync preferences for each device any way that you like. Using apps as an example ... This is how you can select the unique content for you own device. You can do this in every tab in iTunes .... Apps, music, photos, movies, books, etc.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps in the apps list that you want to sync to your iPad..
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    In the Info tab of iTunes, just don't sync your contacts or calendar to the kids iPad.
    This will be helpful.

  • I just setup mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings.  Our phones are both on my account.  Her phone is receiving my contacts, calendars, etc. due to this.  Is there a way I can separate her phone from my account in itunes and icloud?

    I just set up mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings.  I have both phones on one account and actually she purchases apps/music with my sign in and password on her phone. 
    Now that we are set up on icloud settings, her phone is receiving my calendars, contacts, etc.  she does not want and does not need any of these items on her phone.  How can I separate the two now?  is there a way to have a different login and password for her phone so that it sets up on its own icloud settings?
    Thanks

    She should create her own Apple ID and start using it for everything, including purchasing.
    It starts on the computer in iTunes. There are 2 elements we are dealing with;
    purchasing items from iTunes (apps, music) and playing items in iTunes.
    Only one Apple ID can be signed in at a time for purchasing. But you can "authorize" multiple Apple IDs for playing. As long as iTunes is "authorized" with both your Apple IDs, items purchased with these different accounts can coexhist in one iTunes Library.
    Why this is important, it has to do with back up and being able to transfer purchased items to the computer.
    Once your wife sets up her own account, she will want to connect the iPhone to the computer to back it up and transfer any new purchases, iTunes will need to be authorized for that to happen.     
    With that said, a new feature of iColud is back up. It will back up everything to the cloud. You need to turn it on, it's at the bottom of the iCloud settings on the iPhone. It is limited to 5GB for free, you can buy more. I used all 5GB my first back up, but I have a lot of crap, and there's a lot of things on the iPhone that get backed up that don't count against the 5GB, so it might be plenty of space for you.
    When it comes to the iCloud and contacts/calendars, again your wife needs her own account. (ASAP)  Does she have a computer in her life that has a list of her contacts and calendars. I hope so, because it sounds like her contacts on her iPhone are now mixed with yours. Or I hope there is still an untouched list of contacts on the iPhone that iCloud didn't mix.  Either way Delete your iCloud account from her iPhone. Remove the data, as long as it isn't hers. This will delete all info being synced to the cloud. If she still has a list of her old contacts on the iPhone, great. If not, I hope she has them somewhere else, like her own computer.
    Create her an iCloud account. Enter the account info where ever there is a list of contacts/calendars and get the info onto the cloud, then add the iCloud settings to any other devices. 
    Any new apps/music purchased with her account will back up to the cloud. I don't think apps purchased with your account will. She will also need to enter your password for updating these apps, because they were purchased with your account.
    I hope this helped and didn't make thing more confusing.  Good luck!

  • Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one.  How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

    So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
    If so, you can't.
    You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

  • When using two iPhones (iOS 5) on the same computer/iTunes Is there any way to choose which songs, contact info., etc. are sync'd to each device?

    When using two iPhones (iOS 5) on the same computer/iTunes Is there any way to choose which songs, contact info., etc. are sync'd to each device?

    For each iPhone...
    From the Summary tab select:  Sync only checked songs and videos.
    Under Options in the Summary tab select:  Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi
    If you want you can select: Manually manage music and videos.
    Select the music you want synced from your iTunes library, same with Contacts.

  • My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

    my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

    You are not addressing Apple here. And your post is a bit confusing. See Klaus's answer in this thread:

  • Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in

    Assuming that in this day and age you want security.
    Setting up a new email account on mail, the password is entered for connecting to the in & outgoing servers before SSL is set.  Before you can set SSL, mail connects to the servers so email password is transmitted unencrypted?
    This seems a very obvious quirk/bug and something that I have always felt uncomfortable about.
    Anyone else think this is not a good thing?

    Actually it look like all apple devices have the same mail setup procedure, so are your email passwords all being sent over the network in plain text before you get the chance to set the SSL option?
    Any security experts care to comment.

  • Pls give the way to  debug  for PI

    Hi experts,
    In IR, I've tested the mapping.It can work, pass.
    In ID,  I finished all steps, but it failed in  "Test Configuration". How do find the error? who give me the full way to debug?
    I'm a senior programmer, I can set breakpoints, step over in IDE software if exception.
    pls give the way to  debug  for PI
    Many thanks.

    Hi Mikenl,
    We cannot set break points in SAP PI.
    In ID, I finished all steps, but it failed in "Test Configuration". How do find the error? who give me the full way to debug?*
    Can you tell me how exactly are you testing your scenario? Is it through RWB --> Test Tab?? or is it an end to end test involving Sender and Receiver.
    If you ever face any error in SAP PI during Test you can do the following:
    1. Check SXI_MONITOR to see if your message has failed there, you can read the error in the trace level of the message.
    2. For monitoring your message you can use Runtime Workbench where you can goto Message Monitoring and check at which level the message has failed (Adapter as well Integration Engine level). There is tab called "Detail" which when clicked after selecting your message will give you the details of the processing of your message.
    3. Sometimes it may happen that everything is succesful at Integration Engine level but message has failed at adapter engine level. In this case check your Receiver communication channel which will be in error and will give you the details of the error.
    Cheers
