Downloading from Gmail to both iPhone and Outllok 2003

Just got my wife an iPhone and have a problem getting emails from her Gmail account to go to both the iPhone and Outlook 2003 running on her Dell.
Here is the hierarchy of "grabs" off the Gmail server:
iPhone ON, Outlook OFF - email goes to iPhone, then to Outlook when Outlook is turned on.
iPhone ON, Outlook ON - email goes to Outlook only, never makes it to iPhone.
Settings - on Outlook, POP, leave copy on server; on Gmail, POP and IMAP both activated, leave copy on server. iPhone tried using both POP and IMAP to retrieve Gmail mesages.
Striking out after looking at all the info I have found on iPhone and on Gmail forums. The current low tech solution is to turn off Outlook when we want messages to be received on the iPhone.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

With a POP account, only one email client can access the incoming mail server at a time.
If Outlook is checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages received at the incoming mail server while the iPhone's Mail client does the same, the incoming mail server will be temporarily locked preventing the iPhone's Mail client from doing so and vice versa.
This is not a problem with an IMAP account, and a Gmail account can be accessed as an IMAP account or a POP account.
I suggest creating/accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and the same with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes with the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
Gmail provides the recommended account settings for accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and with the iPhone's Mail client.

HELP!!!! iMessages on iOS6 is sending messages from my iPhone to both my iPad, my other iPhone and other friends iPhones! and receiving messages from friends on both iPhones and iPad.

Why is the new iOS6 using iMessage and FaceTime and sharing messages across all iPad, both iPhones, and friends messages coming in are sent to all units? SHARING??? How do you fix this?

HI,
On the iPhone and iPad you can "turn off" the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Received At (and possibly) > Caller ID.
iOS 6 will delete the email/Apple ID across all devices (you get a warning) but presumably Messages is either left alone on the Mac or you add the ID back in again.
AS has been said you can then set up each device with it's own Apple ID

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Cannot download blueyonder emails to both iPhone and Mac Mail

Up until very recently I was receiving blueyonder emails on both my Mac Mail app on my MacBook and on my iPhone.
Now the emails will only download to the device it hits first. So, if I receive emails on my iPhone overnight, they wont be received on my MacBook/Mac Mail app when I switch it on and vice versa.
It's a blueyonder (virgin media) email account using POP3.
Macbook is running Mac OS X 10.5.8
Iphone 3G running 3.1.2
Any ideas what to do to receive the emails on both devices?

Hi I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. They have posted a solution on their website it's just hard to find!
All you have to do is in your phone mail settings you have to add "recent:" before your username (I've put it before address and description as well just incase)
so for example:
recent:[email protected]
here is the info from the website
How do I download mail to multiple POP email programs?
Important information for customers who download Virgin Media Mail using several email programs or on different computers or devices
To access your messages with multiple POP email programs, use recent mode in every client to make sure that all messages are made available, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.
To enable Recent mode, replace '[email protected]' in the Username field of your POP client settings with 'recent:[email protected]' and ensure that the Leave messages on server option in your POP client is enabled.
POP Download settings - keeping copies in your webmail inbox when you download messages to Outlook or other programs
By default, when messages are downloaded by Outlook Express or other email programs, Virgin Media Mail is set to keep Virgin Media Mail's copy in the Inbox. This means that we keep a copy in your webmail inbox so it can be accessed online via webmail, or by other email programs on different computers or mobile devices.
If you want to change this, you can go to Forwarding & POP/IMAP within Settings, and next to When messages are accessed with POP select one of these options in the drop-list:
- archive Virgin Media Mail's copy
- delete Virgin Media Mail's copy
If you chose to keep or archive Virgin Media Mail's copy, these messages will eventually fill up your mail quota, but remember that with Virgin Media Mail you do have lots of space.
Please note that some email programs may be set to delete your messages when they are downloaded, but the setting within Virgin Media Mail will override the options set in your email program.

Cannot make call from MBP, although both iPhone and MBP share the same ID

Both my iPhone 6 Plus and MBP with Yosemite have the same Apple ID, iCloud and Face Time details - account (and the same Wifi). Yet, when I try to dial from MBP contacts, I get this message, I don't understand why.

Find my friends is designed to locate DIFFERENT Apple ID's. So if you want to use FMF for this purpose, you would need to create a different apple ID for one of your devices.
OR, you could use the Find My iPhone App. Which will display ALL of your devices.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro already

I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

I just bought a song from iTunes on my iPhone and accidentally stopped the download before it finished. How do I continue the download?

I just bought a song from iTunes on my iPhone and accidentally stopped the download before it finished. How do I continue the download?
It shows it in my music but is a light shaded grey. So I may not access the song. I tried repurchesing the song but iTunes won't let me.

I had the same problem and solved it for myself, and I have a iphone 4s. I went to my songs and deleted the light grey songs then went to the itunes store, and selected more, then selected purchased. I scrolled down to the songs that were a light grey in my music, and pushed the download button ( icloud symbol with arrow on it) ,now my songs are successfully downloaded and ready to listen to any time!

Ring both iphone and MAc from Ipod

My son tried face time from his ipod which obviously requires him to call using an email address. The problem is it only rings my Mac now that I have installed facetime. Can it ring both iPhone and Mac, or do I need to delete facetime from my Mac?

If he calls your iPhone phone number and selects FaceTime, the iPhone will ring. If he calls your email address, the Mac will ring. Right now there is no way to ring both simultaneously.

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?
