Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

Yes that is what I observed.
There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.

  • Novice trying to connect between office and home MACs

    Advice for system novice
    trying to connect between office and home MACs
    Office MAC OSX 10.2.8 (also runs classic mode)
    G4 Computer in the office (only mac in office all others are PC)
    I need to connect home computer
    IMAC OSX 10.4 Tiger. Connecting via cable modem and have router
    I do not have good networking skills, i this something that is doable myself or should I call in a pro?

    It's doable.
    But at home you need to find the "outside" IP that the Internet sees, not the one you see on that machine.
    what's my ip...
    http://www.whatsmyip.org/
    Then you'll need to "Forward Ports" on the home router so incoming stuff knows where to go.
    Then you'll need to enable the Services you wish to use on both machines.

  • No connection between iPhone and iPhoto

    Hello,
    this is my problem: connecting my iPhone to my Mac it doesen't react in the usual way anymore – nether iTunes nor iPhoto were launched automatically (which works without any problems a few days ago).
    I've got no problem with the not-starting iTunes, because after starting it manually the iPhone is detected as it should. But in iPhoto my iPhone is not detected and no import message is shown even if I've taken new photos with the phone.
    I've tried a lot of things: I've repaired my HD (with "First Aid") and deleted some preferences on my Mac. Also I've reset the preferences of my iPhone.
    Further I tried to copy the iPhone's folder "DCIM" manually to my HD using the program "Phone View" – but this was canceled with an error message and the already copied files were deleted from my HD immediately.
    Also the the system program "Image capture" seems not to be the reason – there's iPhoto selected to handle with digital cameras.
    As I connected my iPhone to another Mac with iPhoto running, my iPhone was interestingly detected. But shows the message "No images to import" ...
    Now I don't know what I should try more ... please help!
    I would reset my iPhone COMPLETELY but I don't want to loose ANY of the token pictures on it. So what can I do? Is there any way to "rescue" them, e. g. by using the backup-file (how does it work)?
    This may be important: I've updated the iPhone OS to version 3.1 and installed the app "PhotoGenius" (which I have deleted already).
    Here are some information about my hard- and software:
    - iPhone 3G S
    - PowerMac G5 1,8 GHz Dual
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8
    - iTunes 9.1
    - iPhoto '06 (which works before)
    Please help!!
    Thank you!
    Michael
    PS: Sorry for my English...

    Try reinstalling iTunes (no need to uninstall, just download and install the current version). Also, check System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab to be sure the iTunes Helper app is there. Finally, you might need to remove and reinstall AMDS:

  • How do i get a wifi connection between iphone and iMac?

    I downloaded the app "CityMaps2Go". Some of the maps I need are bigger than 20MB and Apple doesn't allow to download that amount over a regular 3G telephone connection. "CityMaps2Go" is asking me to connect via Wifi to download bigger maps. But I have no Wifi right now here at home available. My iMac runs with DSL6000 from Deutsche Telekom (High Speed Internet). Even tough my router has WLAN available, it is not konfigured for Apple hardware (I guess, never worked) But the Internet connection for my iMac is very fast, so no problem there. Here my question: While my iMac is online and connected, can I somehow connect my iphone via wifi to my iMac, so I can download those bigger maps from "CityMaps2Go"??? Thank you!

    Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
    You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

  • Trying to create a hostname network between iphone and desktop

    I am trying to make a remote connection to my desktop from my iphone in order to use iControlBits App and Transmission on my desktop.
    I have a hostname which I created with dyn.com and the Mac OS X client installed on my Mac and it has a green light.
    I enabled NAT port forwarding on my Airport Extreme.
    I have a Motorola SurfBoard Cable Modem that has a dyn.com setting, I turned that on.
    I have read that this function on the SurfBoard does not work, also I am not sure if I still have to do any port forwarding on the modem/router.
    I love any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
    1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
    2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
    3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
    If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
    Cheers and best of luck

  • Testing Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MaxBook pro

    Hi everyone:
    I'm testing the GKTank sample from the SDK for the purpose of learning how the Bluetooth connection can work between two iPhone/iPad devices. I do not have the second iPhone to test it with so at the moment all I have is my iPhone 4 and a MacBook Pro that runs GKTank app in a simulator.
    But what happens is that when I fire both (the app on iPhone and on the simulator) the simulator always pops up a message that my iPhone was discovered (in the list for the GKPeerPickerController window) but my iPhone never does the same thing and its GKPeerPickerController window simply shows "Looking for other iPads, iPhones, or iPod touches..."
    Can someone tell me why is that and if it is normal?

    I get a similar result. I can initiate the game from the sim side and get an accept/decline on the iPhone4, but as soon as I accept the game ends on the sim side. Frankly, I didn't expect it to get that far.

  • TS1538 Connection between iPhone and iTunes

    My computer recognizes the connection between the USB and my iPhone 4 but iTunes doesn't find it. I've ran diagnostics and it comes up red which means iTunes can't locate it, but in My Documents my phone shows up. So what is going on?

    Did you already try some of the suggestions mentioned in this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows?
    Connecting in recovery mode can also help:

  • Connection between iphone and ipad

    I can´t connect ipad and iphone with bluetooth. What can I do?

    For what purpose are you trying to connect them?
    Only specific apps that have peer-to-peer Bluetooth functionality, such as some multi-player games and photo sharing apps allow Bluetooth connections between iOS devices.
    You should consult the instructions for whichever app you are using for how to initiate the connection.

  • Matching Notes formatting between iPhone and desktop

    Ever since I switched from Marker Felt to Helvetica as the Notes font on my phone, I've had trouble getting the text to display in a consistent manner between the phone and my desktop after notes are synced (via iCloud). For example if I make a note on the phone, the type lines up cleanly on the lines. But if I make any changes, type sizes change and are inconsistent within the note itself, and type no longer diplays anchored to aline, but rather sort of floats above or below. I've tried every Helvetica font size in Mail's preferences for Notes, but nothing works right. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thank you...

  • Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

    My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook.  What might be the problem?

    Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

  • Connection between notebook and desktop

    Hi I have a Tecra 8000 running windows xp pro,is there any way I can hook up the laptop to my PC, which runs on windows xp home,the reason is for the transfer of material from one to the other,is there a problem likely with the different windows!I have a dvd drive on the laptop but not on the PC! anyone help please.

    Hi
    If you want to make Peer-to-peer connection between two machines you can do it using Cross-over Cable.
    If you make Peer-to peer connection please be sure that both machines have the same Domain name (e.g. PrivatLAN). Be also careful with IP-Address. Use class B IP address.
    Example:
    machine1: 192.168.100.10
    machine2: 192.168.100.20
    The subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0
    One more important thing is that in Local Area Connection Properties under General there must be installed File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks who allows another computer to access resources on this computer. This must be done on both machines.
    If you still have problems write again.
