Can the Mail applications on Mac and iPhone talk to each other?

I have synced my Gmail account to the Mail application on my MacBook Pro. During the day, I am out and about receiving, reading, and deleting emails on my iPhone, and when I get home and turn on the computer, I see all of those messages still there in my inbox, unread. Is there a way for the mac Mail app and the iPhone mail app to talk so that messages that are read in one place show up as read in the other place?

I could have this thread moved to the iPhone forum. The iPhone gurus hang out there... let me know if you want to switch and I will ask a moderator to transfer the thread. I don't want to give you the wrong information.
You could try searching this forum also. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1144

All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5 and system is 10.6.8

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
I have tried the suggestions already given on Lists, and nothing has yet worked...

10.6.8 is not Mountain Lion.
How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
Did you happen to download any system cache cleaners? Those can damage its ability to function.
Have you tried repairing permissions?
Is your data backed up?
Is Spotlight indexed?
Is the Mail trying to load an IMAP, POP or Exchange account?
I've requested this thread be moved, no need to repost.

How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

Hi,
May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
MANY THANKS!
Pierre

Sorry if a made mistakes writing in english my mother thong is french

Syncing Mail Notifications Between Mac and iPhone

Hi
I been having this problem with the mail notifications not syncing between the Mail.app on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Let me explain:
When I get a new email, I hear the sound and see the red notification icon appear on both the MacBook and the iphone. When it comes to checking the new email, here are the two possible scenarios:
a) If I check the new email on my phone, the red notification icon disappears from BOTH the iphone and the MacBook.
b) If I check the new email on my MacBook, the red notification disappears from the MacBook but DOESN'T disappears from the iPhone (that is until I open the app). This happens with both cases, when the app is "running" in the background or when it is complety closed.
I don't know if I am crazy but I am pretty sure that both of the notifications used to disappear before, no matter where I checked the mail.
I tried deleting and creating the email again on my phone, and it didn't work.
Here some info that could help find a solution:
- I'm using icloud email (@me.com)
MacBook
-Mountain Lion
iPhone:
- iOS 6 (this problem started before the upgrade)
- Push is on.
- Fetch (that suppodselly would be used only if push is off) is set to Manually.
- On the "Advanced" sub-menu inside the Mail settings, Push is also selected.
Hopefully this can actually be fix and I can prove myself that I was not crazy!!
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Anyone find a fix for this problem? I've been waiting for this since notification syncing was announced a couple years ago with iOS 6. I use iCloud for my email and find it very frustrating that when I read an email on my Mac or on iCoud.com that it doesn't automatically dismiss the notifications for those emails on my iOS devices until I open the mail app on each iOS device. Notification syncing works great with other apps. With iMessages, for example, when I read a message on my Mac running Yosemite, the notifications disappear on my iOS devices without opening the messages app (badge app icon, home screen notifications and notification center). Why can't they figure this out with email? I remember at my old job, I had an exchange account that properly synced mail notifications between devices, but it has never worked with my iCloud email. I wonder if I am just missing a particular setting or if Apple just blew it here. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Synch mail messages between Mac and Iphone...

I have a Mac Book Pro (and use Mail) and an Iphone 4. I had expected my mail box to synch such that all the mails I sent on Iphone would appear as sent items on my Mac and vice versa. This doesnt seem to be happening. What am i doing wrong please? Or is this not possible?

It is not possible to "sync" like with music or photos. You need to setup your email account on your iPhone.

Sync my mail on my mac and iphone

I am having an issue with my Google Calendar. When I view it on my iPhone in mobile view, I can't see all the entries from other shared calendars, but when I view it in Desktop view, I can see all items.

On my computer, on Mail-Settings-Account its filled in with my: @me.com and also @mac.com as emailadress. And on Server sent messages (SMTP) with: iCloud.
So I think this should be right...?
(I cant really view any adress to the left of Inbox at the top).
On the phone (iPhone3), on Settings-iCloud-Account it says @mac.com. When I try to change it to @me.com it says its already connected to that. So I guess it shouldnt matter.
I really cant make it work.
When I had MobileMe, before moving to iCloud it used to be alright...

Can I share music between Mac and iPhone using bluetooth

While I use Home Sharing to allow my phone and my wife's to access an iTunes library housed on my Macbook Pro, when we travel by air obviously we do not have Wi Fi available. I know I can buy a "Y" cable to connect two sets of earphones to my Mac so we can both listen to music without disturbing other passengers, but I'm wondering if we can eliminate cabling both devices to the Mac by using bluetooth?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks

I need to merge the contacts between my MAC and iPhone 4 ... Tried many ways ...

i have 50 contacts on my Macbook air and 350 on my iphone , i need to know how to merge them , iTunes is not syncing the contacts at all even when i choose the option to sync , i tried many ways !! apparently there is only an option to replace whats on the iPhone by the computer's contact but not the opposite . please help ...

With the iPhone connected have you checked Address Book as the app to sync to on the Info tab? If you have then go to the iSync app Preferences, and click Reset Sync History.

Can Photoshop and InDesign talk to each other?

I am working on a document in InDesign, using an image I have edited in Photoshop. Is there a way I can make edits in the PS image and have them appear in ID, without having to place the image again?

To edit the image from InDesign, right-click on the placed image and choose to 'edit original'. It will open in Photoshop. When you save or close the image in Photoshop, it will automatically update in the InDesign document.
If you edit the placed image without InDesign interaction (by accessing directly in the filesystem), you can easily refresh the link in InDesign's Links panel. Out of date links will have a yellow alert icon.

Mac and iPhone don't see each other

This isn't just with Home Sharing, but with other apps that use wifi to connect, specifically iAccounts and iBackup, but I couldn't find a more appropriate community.
My iPhone and MacBook Pro are connected to the same wifi network, one has 192.168.1.64, the other is 192.168.1.65, both can connect to the internet with no problems, both have full signal strength. So why can't they see each other? Sometimes it works, when everything is turned off then back on again, but sometimes that doesn't work. Last time it worked only after I reset my router, which suggests maybe the router is the problem. It's a BT HomeHub 3, which probably doesn't mean much to most of you, so give me general advice. What settings should I look at? Could it have something to do with my Mac connecting via 802.11 N and my iPhone 802.11 G? It's a 3GS, so it can't do N.
Both Mac and iPhone have the latest OS (10.6.8 and 4.3.3).

I stumbled upon the answer by searching other (non-apple support) sites for this problem. Apparently (and non-intuitively), "personal hotspot" (aka internet tethering) must first be enabled before attempting to establish a BT link. The reason I say non-intuitive is:
Firstly, bluetooth is supposed to be a stand-alone wireless networking protocol that doesn't require another wireless network to be available for it to work. What other sort of device (computer or otherwise) requires an existing network to be in place before BT will work?
Secondly, if tethering via personal hotspot is a prerequisite for a BT link, why is there no pop-up message advising of this when BT is turned on? Something like "Hey idiot, you need to turn on personal hotspot before you can establish a bluetooth link!" Or better yet, why not automatically turn on the hotspot when the BT button is switched on?
Thirdly, it really makes the BT shortcut button (in the home screen control center) worthless if you've still got to manually drill down into the settings menu to turn on hotspot anyway.
I scrubbed all apple user support articles related to using BT and pairing the iPhone with iPad that I could find to make sure I hadn't missed this new requirement somewhere - and I don't see it mentioned anywhere (although I'll admit that steam was coming out of my ears while I read it, so I may not have been in the best frame of mind to catch any new information). In the BT troubleshooting article, it mentions every check-this and check-that step but nowhere does it say make sure that personal hotspot is also turned on! I submitted feedback at the bottom of the article; hopefully they'll update it.
Thanks, Lyssa for bearing with me through all of this, which in the end turned out to be a user error. Although I consign myself to some comfort in knowing that this is not how it worked prior to iOS8. And as soon as I can find a phone on iOS7 or older, I'll confirm that.
