  • Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

    I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
    Thanks

    That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

  • Can i get the new iPhone and sell my old iPhone?

    I have the 4GB original iPhone and i was wondering if it was possible for me to upgrade to the new iPhone for the $199 price. If i can, am i able to sell my old on eBay? Some people say i can get the 8GB for 199 and some say i can get it for 499. I don't have an upgrade available and i signed a 2 year contract in September. Is this at all possible?

    My understanding is that any current iPhone owner with an AT&T contract can get the $199/$299 prices regardless of when they last upgraded or renewed. Rationale seems to be that the original iPhone purchase was not subsidized by AT&T.
    If that were not true, no current owner would be able to get the prices above, since we all bought the iPhone about 12-13 months ago at most and have no less than 11 months left on our two-year commitments.
    I'm sure there is info on this on line somewhere. But best just go to an Apple store or an AT&T store and ask them.

  • Contacts list deleted on both Iphone and macbook at sync

    My whole contacts list randomly got deleted after sync from both my computer and iphone. How can I get them back? Also strangely the people in my favorites are still there but are listed as only phone numbers and not names. What happened?

    You're not the only one, M. Boudreau. Today I noticed that I had multiple duplicates throughout my iPhone list of contacts. Some were true duplicates with all the originals info and others were just the name and no other info. I promptly started deleting them by hand. I plugged my phone in and it synched with my computer (a PC running Windows XP with Microsoft Exchange). Then, when I went to dial someone, their contact was suddenly missing. As it stands now, all my contacts from the letter E and higher are deleted. Of course, being synched with my desktop, all I have left on my desktop now is what was left (some of A through D) on my iPhone. HELP!!!!!

  • IMac Yosemite 10.10.1 Thunderbird 24.6.0 24 hours ago lost in/out email. Checked everything. Can still get email on IPhone and older Power Mac G5 on 10.5.8

    This has happened once or twice before but a restart of the Mac or the router seemed to fix it. There is another PowerMac with the same problem.

    "2MEM/1/4: DIMM3/J14"
    Replace the memory in the DIMM 3 slot.
    If you are running Mac OS X 10.5 you can use this program to test your G5's memory:

    It will subject your RAM to a more thorough test than Apple Hardware Test.

  • Problems with iCloud, iPhone and Macbook Pro [Sync]

    Hello.
    I've been sat down for a while now trying to figure out how to sort out my university schedule. I've had several problems occur, while they all seem to relate somehow.. I have setup my iCloud account with a stable connection and subscribed to my calendars for my 2012, Spring semester. My goal is to sync iCal with my iPhone so I can bring my calendar with me at all time.
    1. I subscribe and create the events I need to remember with times set to a specific date on a weekly basis. Meaning I don't want it to occur daily, but each week on a specific date.
    2. I sync this with iCloud and can see the calendar preview on www.icloud.com on my user account.
    3. I go on my iPhone to sync the device with iCloud and this is where my problem appears.
    When I have synced my iPhone with iCloud it looks like something went wrong and my event duplicates twice and starts to re-occur each day instead of weekly (on the same specific day). I have no clue on how to troubleshoot this sort of problem and ended up creating my own discussion thread.
    Sincerly,
    Christopher
    Products used: Macbook Pro, iPhone 3GS and iCloud.
    Additional information: I have turned off iTunes sync, however the problem lies somewhere with iCloud / iPhone.

    If it is running Lion or the upcoming Mountain Lion,
    the following can be synced on both devices via iCloud:
    -iCloud mail ([email protected]) or items forwarded to
      iCloud Mail
    -Safari bookmarks
    -Calendars
    -Files using any Apple app that is available both for
      iOS and OSX.
    -Address Book
    -Photos
    These are what Lion supports.  Perhaps there may
    be additional items when Mountain Lion releases.
    Syncing of the Messages app coud be added since
    Messages is going to be added in Mountain Lion.
    See the iCloud support page:

  • ICloud, iPhone and macbook

    How to set up icloud and have both iphone and macbook in sync? Have followed set up including buying and installing mountain lion but still can't see my iphone updating if I change for example something in iCal on mac and vice versa. Have I missed something?
    Many thanks for any help

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

  • Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

    Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

    From a Catherine to Katherine -- Had the exact same problem!!  I had to enable Java twice - both in Safari and then on the MacBookAir itself.

    If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer.  Then sync your phone with iTunes.

  • How can I safe my data back from the Time capsule to iphone and macbook?

    Hi,
    last weekend we were robbed while being on vacation and iphones and macbook air got stolen. Good thing was that at home we had a time capsule and our normal macbook. As soon as we get the new iphones and the new airbook we want to get our itunes and apps and datas back to the iphones and airbook ... can somebody tell us how to re-safe or back-safe stuff from the time capsule back to the equipment?
    Thank you ... I feel so "naked" without my phone :-(

    Sorry about your loss. Follow the directions here to use Time Capsule to restore your new Air to the state your old Air was in when stolen. When you first connect your new phones, you'll be given the option of restoring from the backup of your old phones or setting up as new. Restore from your previous backups, followed by syncing your content back to your phones. You should be good to go. Maintaining current backups makes this a piece of cake.

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

  • I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first, So im trying to redownload the music and ringtones i've bought off of itunes. I found under purchased my songs how can i redownload all the ringtones i bought off itunes?

    I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first so im trying to redownload all of the songs and ringtones i purchased i found my songs but how can i redownload all the ringtones i have already purchased.

    Apps can be re-downloaded for free (instrutions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Media (musiv, films, tv, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups of your content, especially purchased content. You can try contacting Apple via the Lost or Missing Items under the Music Purchases tab on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/ - but Apple are under no obligation to let you re-download any content (and if they do it may be on a one-off basis, and you might not be able to do so again in the future)
