Can an email account sync to an iphone automatically just because you plugged it into a computer

can an email account pop up on your iphone just because it had been plugged into a computer

Older versions of iTunes had a Info tab for iPhones connected via USB. This tab had a setting to sync Mail's account info, The Info tab is not in the latest iTunes.

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer. This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either. This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed. How can I get it going again?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4061 Help! My iphone displays a cord to an itunes icon and I can't get it to go away...even when I plug it into my computer. My computer is not recognizing it as a device.

Help! My iPhone 4 displays a cord to an itunes icon and I can't get it to go away...even when plugged into my computer. My computer doesn't recognize it as a device. How can I just cancel all this and get my phone back to normal?

You might want to try performing a hard reset of your device; this will restart it and generally clear out any errors, it will not erase any data on your device.
Press and hold both the home button and the lock button (the button on the top right of the iPhone) for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.

I've downloaded music on my iphone 4s and went to plug it into my computer and I don't know how to make sure it doesn't wipe my iphone clean when it syncs.

I'm plugging my iphone into my computer for the first time and it is asking me if I want to "set up my iphone". I have already loaded a lot of things onto my iphone directly from the device and want to know if it will all clear out when I sync it to my computer.

HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
Appreciatively,
Donna

I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

I just got a new iphone 4 and when i plug it into my computer it comes up in itunes saying"itunes could not connect to iphone because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode into your iphone before it can be used on itunes" what do i do

please someone tell me what to do i have no idea where to put in the passcode let alone know what it is! and i need it because i need to sync all my contacts and apps and everything onto this new iphone

You will have to restore it from Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Email accounts get removed from iPhone during syncs

I'm having a recurring problem of certain email accounts getting deleted from my iPhone during a sync. I have about 5, all of which are AOL IMAP email accounts. I can use the advanced syncing feature to reload the accounts to the iPhone, and I believe that sometimes the sync works fine, but I often am surprised to find random email accounts not on my iPhone after a sync.

Happened after installing Itunes update. I synced my iphone with only computer I ever use and when I clicked on music on iphone it shows "no content". However, when I connect iphone to computer it shows that I have used all but 3.5gb on my 32gb iphone!!!! All of the content used is showing as audio. So what do I do?
All of my apps are still on my phone, just no music

HT1430 Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account to my new iPhone 5? I think I maybe shouldn't have clicked the 'merge' option for iCloud when I set up the first email account (though am not sure whether that's relevant). Thanks,

Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account, for my new iphone?
Thanks

Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/ When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin. Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here. In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

Me email account not working in iPhone 5s

Hi,
Currently having an issue with my me email account on my new iPhone 5s. I restored from an iPhone 5 backup a few months ago when setting up my new phone and I can't seem to get my emails or calendar working for my me account. It still works fine on my ipad though so I don't believe it is down to the account itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you :)

Define "not working".

Can't access 'Accounts' in Settings on iPhone:all in grey

HT201320 I have two email accounts. However, the iPad automatically uses the account that I only want to use for business. How can I change the account from which mail is sent and received?

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.
