Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition. I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that". No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud. Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

Can I sync contacts via iTunes with Mavericks?

I would like to sync contacts and calendars via iTunes (wifi or not) to/from my iMac and not use iCloud. Can I do this? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,
C.

Make sure neither the phone nor the Mac have the Contacts/Calendars options enabled in their respective iCloud configurations, have the Mac's iTunes set to sync contacts/calendars up with the device (look in the respective tabs of the device's window),
except this option is currently not available with Mavericks (as the OP asked).

Can you get online via USB with OSX10.2.1?

I have a G3 iBook running 10.2.1 and a GPRS phone with a USB cable. The Phone works fine with my MacBook. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work on the iBook, and the only help i've found online was recommending using Bluetooth (which I don't have on the iBook).
Please help!
Thanks in advance

Can't send mail via iCloud with my iMac after creating a new account

Hi,
yesterday I created my account on Icloud.
I've Lion on my Imac, so I registered the account directly from settings on my Imac.
Now I can receive mail, but I can't send them, because the imap smtp server won't recognize my password.
If I access on icloud.com, I can do everything correctly.
Thank you for your support.
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've aasked the Hosts to remove it.
The first thing to try would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud, then sign back in again and check 'Mail' and any other data types you need in the list. This will set Mail up, hopefully correctly.
If you are still having problems accessing or sending mail go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password, making sure that it complies with Apple's requirements: at least eight characters, of which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter.
Note that iCloud does not interact with any other email service. You cannot use it to check other email accounts, and you cannot send using its smtp server with any address other than your @me.com one as the 'From' address.
You should be able to set up other accounts separately in the Mail application: these would be unaffected by iCloud in any way.

Can't sync Centro via USB in Windows 7

Hi, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (clean install). I had previously used Vista and could sync just fine. My sync freezes at 2 or 12. The weird thing is there are two instances of "Date Book" listed in the hotsync window. Also two each "Address Book, "To Do List," and "Memo Pad."
I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 that I just downloaded from Palm.com. After running into trouble, I followed some of the troubleshooting items on the Palm support site. I unistalled Palm Desktop and reinstalled, but got the same thing.
I think the issue is the drive. When I look in Device Manager, I get a small gray question mark next to the device. Not sure if that's an issue. I tried reinstalling the driver by clicking "Update Driver" in the device manager and pointing to this filepath: C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver. It said in installed okay, but then I still get this freeze when trying to sync.
Help!

This question was solved.

Fixed problem with help of tech in this thread.
Turns out it was a corrupted date book entry and had nothing to do with Windows 7.

Can I not sync Calendar via USB anymore?

I just noticed that my iPad no longer syncs with the Calendar on my laptop. I did a search in the Help menu (which actually worked this time) and it said that you have to sync Calendars in Maverick with iCloud. What??? I don't use iCloud, and don't intend to.
Is this true? Hooking up the iPad to the computer no longer syncs data through the cable??

Hello Dub1_303. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Ok so here is what i have to work with, an action tech modem with a usb port, and a airport express connected to it via that usb port. the problem is in the airport express itself. Its not configured yet! How can i configure the AE via usb because this pc running vista doesn't have wifi? Can it be done via usb?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) must be connected to a DSL/Cable modem via Ethernet to function as a wireless router; the AX's USB port is only for connecting to a USB printer.
It sounds like you are attempting to use the AX as a substitute wireless card for the PC by connecting it to the PC's USB port. Sorry, but that will not work.

Syncing email via USB

Is there any way to sync email between Outlook and the iPhone via the USB connection - from what I've read on this forum is seems like it can't be done.
What is the reason for not allowing email to be sync'd via USB?

Firstly you should not have installed iSync 1.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.11.
iSync 2.4 is the version of iSync for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and is already installed. By installing an older version you may have broken syncing completely because doing so will have overwritten important system components with much older versions.
Hopefully, you made a full system backup before installing iSync 1.5 so that you can easily revert to it.
The reason why no existing iSync Plugins (which can only be used with iSync 2.4 and later) don't support USB syncing is because the phone itself doesn't support USB syncing on a Mac. You can only sync older Sony Ericsson phones via Bluetooth.
Even if the phone was USB compatible, if you can't navigate the menus then you couldn't have put the phone in the correct USB mode. Plus, you couldn't have transferred the contacts anyway, as contacts are not visible via USB on any Sony Ericsson phones.
So, unfortunately if you can't use the phone, there is no way to get your contacts off it, unless you happened to copy your contacts onto the SIM and can put the SIM in another fully working phone.

TS3991 can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

You can't sync contacts on your Mac with iCloud running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). That requires Lion (10.7.5) or higher. If your system can't run this, you'll have to go to turn of contact syncing with iCloud and either start syncing them with iTunes, or use an alternative service such as a Google contacts. You could, for example, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then set up a Gmail account and sync them as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en.

I can't sync like in past with my iPhone 5 to MacBook... color ball spins and it want's to go to App Store? Never connects

I can't sync like in past with my iPhone 5 to MacBook... color ball spins and it want's to go to App Store? Never connects
In past, when I connected USB cable it tarted syncing... now it shows grey IPhone so it knows it's connected, but doesn't let me select it. I keeps going to the store and never "responds" so I have to Force Quit each time.
I tried using Bluetooth and it almost worked but then said the iPhone didn't support my MacBook. ?!?
I figure everything is so automated (old term from an old guy) that I've missed something. I miss the Apple 2e's and c's sometimes. I've almost wanted to ask verbally my phone to do it but am holding that adventure until I hear from someone. [ I asked my iPad one time for help and it told me it was busy and ask later. "Seri-ously:-) ]
Help!

Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?
I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

I can't sync/back up iPhone data to my computer b/c iPhone screen is shattered and i cant unlock it to enter in my passcode. How can I sync my broken iPhone with my computer and back up my data so I can sync and transfer the data to my replacement iPhone?

I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
Thanks.

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.
