Droid email account doesn't sync back to online account.

Does anyone know how to fix an email account that doesn't sync back to the original account on line? I have my Comcast email account set up on my Droid, and I get my emails with no problems. But when I send an email from the Droid, it doesn't show up online.

I don't have a COMCAST account, but I do have an AT&T Yahoo account, but I am using the stock Email Yahoo App - not a 3rd party app. (You said you're using the ATT Mobile App - what is that?) For my Yahoo account, I didn't have to specify anything in settings on either side (phone or online). Email sent from my phone are in the SENT folder online. Same with the TRASH folder. Any Folders I set up online appear on my phone automatically.
How long has this been going on? Just start happening? Have you tried deleting the Account(s) from your phone, clearing System Cache, rebooting, and reinstalling the APP? I believe there are special configuration steps required of COMCAST - but I don't have them and can't find them anymore in this new forum's Search feature.

IPad Calendar doesn't sync back to iCloud nor Mac

Hello all,
I have a strange issue that, since a few days, the iPad-based, iCloud-linked calendar doesn't sync back to iCloud. Hence, for that reason, the calendar on the Mac isn't in sync, and this is, as you can guess, pretty annoying. iPad runs iPhone OS 6.1, and the Mac runs Snow Leopard. I manually configured the calendar portion of iCloud as indicated, and sync between iCal (Mac) and iCloud doesn't suffer any delay.
Additional information: when initially reinstalled, the iPad has two sets of calendars: one locally synced with the Mac, the other being iCloud, and there's overlap between the two, thanks to this pesky sync problem. I really appreciate the convenience of iCloud, but can't go without the safety of local sync. I may go days without manually syncing the iPad with iTunes but still, iCal is my lifeline, and any defect in keeping updated or worse, losing events will result in serious profesional consequences. It already happened in the days before iCloud.
iCloud-related information: my Apple ID is an email that has been dead for years. Since I used it heavily before the mailing privider ceased activities, I couldn't practically restart from scratch, so I am currently using this "fossil" login along with an updated Yahoo contact adress, and recently added an @me.com adress from iCloud. The latter is the adress is the one used to connect to iCloud's calendar from iCal, and works nicely.
However, the iPad, despite being configured with iCloud natively, doesn't update. I restarted it, but since the most up-to-date calendar is on the iPad and un-synced, so far I didn't try deleting and re-adding iCloud to the iPad as it would delete events added since.
What could cause the iPad to lose sync with iCloud, and how to solve that and prevent it from happening again?

David, nice to hear from you again, hope you are well.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
I believe you have duplicates because you have two sets of contacts. "iCloud" and "On My Mac". Once you have created all your contacts in the iCloud account, you should delete them from On My Mac.
You can move contacts simply by dragging and dropping from one account to the other, you don't need to export them all to the desktop (although doind so will serve as a good back up if all goes wrong). You should note that this copies them though rather than simply move them, so you'll need to delete the old set when you are done.
As for preserving groups from the On My Mac Account, you can't but you can simplify recreating them by copying contacts (drag and drop) from an on my mac group to an empty group in iCloud.
Not sure about the contacts that you are struggling to move.
Many aspects of iCloud are difficult to understand, have a mull through what I've said so far and come back if everything still doesn't fall into place.

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

Z1 default email app doesn't sync

I have a new z1 since last week, and I have problems to sync with my corporate email account with Z1 default email program. Some times sync, some times doesnt sync.
Its a POP3 account, I set the sync frecuency to 5 minutes but sometimes nothing happens and i have to manually sync but also nothing happens!!
I tried deleting the account, restoring my phone, clearing data for the email application under settings > apps > all > email > clear data. but still dont work.
I have another phone (samsung) with the same configuration and it works very well, so it´s not the corporate server neither a permision or server configuration.
Please could Sony help? i dont want to use any third part application.
thank you

Hi folks
I'm having a similar problem.
The default Z1 Compact email app is doing weird things. I've got 3 accounts set up in the app. All with the same provider which uses live.com/hotmail as the email server.
Two (2) of the accounts work fine. Checking email/syncing automatically and manually refreshing updates the inbox etc.
The other one, my main account, has stopped updating/refreshing the inbox. This started about 2 weeks ago. The weird thing is that it is still updating/refreshing the sent items.
I can send email from the account. I just sent one from one account (the one that won't refresh) to one of the others successfully.
I've deleted the faulty account on the phone; set it up again - still the same. Powered off, deleted account, set it up again. No good. I've altered the sync settings; changed parameters; put them back to default. Still no good.
The account works fine on my wifes Samsung Galaxy S5. Send/receive/refresh (both manually and automaticaly). It also works fine on the Galaxy Tab 3 and the Surface Pro 2 and through the browser interface.
I do not want to use yet another email app - I like the Sony app. I like its functionality, its look, its customisable format.
No, I don't want to add another non gmail account to the gmail app. I want things separate. No, I don't want to do a factory reset. That shouldn't be necessary when the 2 other accounts in the app work fine. Not to mention the time and data wasted to reinstall apps/updates etc. That would be as bad as a Windoze reinstall.
I just want the Sony email app to work like it did previously.
Any suggestions/help???
Thanks in advance.

Apple TV movie purchase doesn't sync back to iTunes

I'd recently purchased a movie directly from within Apple TV but it is not synchronizing back to iTunes. The content on my computer synchronizes correctly to the Apple TV but my purchases and rentals are not synchronizing back the other way.
I've tried removing the synchronization settings from both the computer and the Apple TV and then setting it back up again. My music synchronizes over but -- again -- my movie sits happily on the Apple TV but not in iTunes.
When I look at the movie on the Apple TV, it has the little trash can indicator next to it.
I'm using Apple TV 2.1 and iTunes 7.7.1 (on a MacBook Pro).
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have a similar issue. Just got an Apple TV and synced it to iTunes on MacBook Pro and everything worked fine - got about 7gb of photo and music content synced to ATV without any issues.
However, when I purchased a TV episode on ATV, the whole setup is stuck. Every time I start a sync on iTunes, it tries to sync the purchased file (about 500mb) from ATV to iTunes first, before getting to the photos and music sync in the other direction. The problem is that iTunes completely hangs in about 20-30% into the copy process, with the coloured wheel mouse cursor running infinitely.
I've now upgraded the software components (ATV to 2.2, iTunes to 8.0.1), tried removing the ATV relationship to computer and adding it back again, restarting both ATV and MBP in the process, also removed com.apple.itunes.plist as some forum suggested. Nothing, it ends still in the same place. I am yet to do a full reset to ATV, as I'd prefer not to loose the purchased file, which I do not have any copies of outside the ATV.
Through the attempts the ATV now is empty of any photos/music that were synced to there before, there is just the one sad little purchased episode. And I can not add anything back, as iTunes always starts with the purchase sync... which fails.
One thing some sites are hinting to but I haven't quite understood is the notion of primary and secondary iTunes Store authorizations. The iTunes account I use was created on a separate PC version of iTunes. However, the MBP is authorized too and I've used it to add credit, etc.
Any thoughts?

My iPod touch still doesn't sync back Calender items - yours does?

I asked this question before, and I still haven't solved the problem. Calendar items added in my iPod does not show up in my iCal after sync. I have choosen wich calendar to put it in, I have reset the Sync History in iSync, I have resetted my iPod and downloaded a new iTunes, done plenty of restarts, gone through my calendar files. There is one strange thing though. In iTunes is listed calendars I do not longer have in iCal, I have deleted them from iCal. But in iTunes they are still possible to choose (which I don't).
Everybody elses calendars sync fine bothways I presume? Or has anyone experienced the same as me and found a sollution. I'll be your friend for lifetime if you tell me how.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Your iPod may be erased in the process.
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:

Apple TV not syncing back to itunes

Strange things happening here...
At some point I bought a song on my apple tv. When syncing to itunes, I got a message saying the song could not be synced (i guess it was corrupt, but I checked "don't show this message again", so I can't reproduce the error message).
Now, every time I start itunes, it tries to sync with atv, but always tries to sync the corrupt file and fails.
Not too big of a problem, but somehow the atv doesn't sync back to itunes at all, since the 10 other songs I bought since then, seem to have the same problem of not syncing back to itunes, although itunes seems to try and sync for approx. 45 secs or so...
Now, a few questions :
1) How do I get itunes to show the error message again, so I can check if the new songs have the same problem.
2) How can I delete the 1 song that started all this trouble from atv ?
3) In the worst case scenario, how do I format the atv, so I can start from scratch again?
Thanks

OK, just posting this because it might help others...
This afternoon, I got ready to call the local apple support, and with the phone in my hand I started up itunes.
And you won't believe this, but it synced beautyfully, in both directions ...
What the * ?
There has only been 1 change on my mac, and that's the installation of the latest security update !!!
So my calculated guess would be, that the last security update closed certain ports, that atv needs to sync back to itunes, and that this security update opened those ports again...
I can only hope the next update won't f*ck things up again.
Anyway, my problem is solved, and I hope a lot of others out there are fine too after installing the 2009-001 security update.

I recently did a "over the air" sync with my notes to my email account and when i did i didnt get back all my notes, could the other notes be in another location?

Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID. Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.

Can't sync back email accounts

Today I deleted my one email account on the phone. When I went to sync via itunes, it wouldn't add it back. Syncing email accounts option is selected and I have since rebooted the phone and tried with no success.
During syncing, iTunes even shows "syncing email accounts with iPhone" but it's still not added.
It's not a big hassle to add it back by hand but is there a solution to this?
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preferences window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then go back to iTunes and choose to sync mail accounts again.
You can also overwrite all email accounts on the iPhone with email accounts from the Mac by clicking on the iPhone in iTunes(under devices)> Click on the Info tab> check replace mail accounts on the iPhone> Apply.

I inherited my husband's iphone 3. iTunes is on our PC in his profile. I now have a iPhone 4S. If I sync the iPhone3 with iTunes, will it bring across his contacts, email account etc?
Is there a way to get all my information from the iphone3 cleanly onto the iPhone4S?
Thank you.

No need to switch. You can use both his apps, music, etc. and yours.

HT204053 I've just changed my apple id but can't change it any iOS devices, I cannot go back to the original email, apple doesn't allow this, cannot delete account!!

I want to be able to change my icloud account username to my phone and ipad without deleting data, this is obviously a problem that Apple has built into it's "security" and starts to make things unworkable??

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

ITunes doesn't sync email accounts phone-to-Outlook

The old computer is dead, the new computer now has Outlook 2010, the iPhone has several email accounts it knows about, it got that information from the old computer when it still worked, I can't get iTunes to copy account information from the iPhone to Outlook on the new machine. Is it possible? I account syncing only one way? (computer to iPhone)
It has synced contacts, done a backup, copied apps, there are no error messages.
I have the Sync Mail Accounts from Outlook setting selected on the iTunes "Info" tab. But the account information is not being copied.

What can be selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync prefereces with iTunes for an email account or accounts is for transferring the email account settings only from your computer to your iPhone so you don't have to manually create the account with the iPhone's Mail app. This only needs to be selected once. After the email account settings have been transferred to your iPhone, this can be deselected. This does not have to remain selected since there is nothing gained and no benefit with leaving this selected.

TS3899 My email inbox doesn't update properly. Specifically, it currently only downloads emails dated through 1/20/14 and today is 2/20/14. I deleted the email account and added it back again, I rebooted my iPhone and I turned Airplane Mode on and off.

My iPhone 4S currently only downloads emails dated through 1/20/14 and today is 2/20/14. I deleted the email account and added it again, I reset my iPhone and I turned Airplane Mode on and off, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Are you saying it's not getting any email from AFTER 1/20/14, or are you saying you're only seeing mail FROM 1/20/14 to now?

Syncing with POP3 email accounts

I'm just about at my wit's end, having spent the last few days trying to get MobileMe to do what Apple claims it can do. It can't.
That said, I now must figure out how to get my iPhone to directly access and sync with a couple of POP3 email account I have. I have tried going to settings, choosing "other", and adding in the correct info. It says that it "can't make the connection with SSL" and would I like to try without that, but when I say "OK", that doesn't work either.
Why is this so difficult? I replaced a Treo with this iPhone and am now having second thoughts. I mean, it can't access a POP3 account? What 90% of the world uses? I thought the iPhone was ready for "real" usage and not just a kid's phone. Frustrating. I just want to read my email... this should be "PDA 101"
OK, enough raving. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Regarding email, what I was trying to do was have access to my already existing email, not the me.com email. He told me that I’d be able to sync my existing emails with MobileMe... but you can't, at least as far as I can tell.
A MM account can check the incoming mail server for a POP account - this option is available at the MM website. Messages received from a POP account will be downloaded to the Inbox mailbox for your MM account. The downside is when replying to or forwarding a message received from a POP account. The reply or forward will be sent from your MM account.
The idea is to use the MM email account as your email account. I've had a .Mac account for some time which was converted to a MM account. I moved quite a bit between 2000 and 2004. At the time, I was using the email account provided by my ISP. Every time I moved, I had to change my email address, and most ISPs don't provide or support an authenticated SMTP server. I started using a PowerBook as my primary computer in 2000 and if I wasn't connected to the internet via my ISP, I was unable to send messages with the email account provided by my ISP. I decided to start using my .Mac account as my primary email account which solved a number of problems for me. When moving, I didn't have to change my email address and since .Mac has an authenticated SMTP server, I was able to send messages with my .Mac account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection.
MM continues this for me with my PowerBook and with my iPhone. I can send messages with my MM account regardless the ISP used for my internet connection - with the Mail.app on my Mac, with the iPhone's Mail client, or with Outlook or OE on a Windows PC.
Meanwhile, I’ve set up these two email accounts and both can receive email but neither can send, although my me.com address will send & receive.
Because a MM account has an authenticated SMTP server, and your POP accounts probably don't. Who is the email account provider for these POP accounts?
I spent about 1/2 hour this afternoon with Apple tech support who couldn't figure that out and told me I need to do a complete factory reset on my iPhone, which will bring it back to original factory specs, causing me to loose all downloaded programs, information, etc., although I could back it up first with iTunes.
If you are syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account and your contact information and calendar events are available at the MM "cloud", this data will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes. Other than that in regards to contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. If you aren't syncing contact information and calendar events over the air with your MM account, you should be syncing this data with the supported application on your computer and if so, this data remains on your computer and will not be lost when doing a restore with iTunes.
All downloaded applications from the app store should also be available in your iTunes library, which won't be lost when doing a restore.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone for all data on your iPhone not included with the sync process such as; most settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, data stored on your iPhone by 3rd party applications, and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process. Before restoring, the first step should be a sync to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
Since all data available on your iPhone is included with your iPhone's backup or should be available and remain on your computer such as your iTunes content, photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone, etc., nothing will or should be lost during the restore process.
I had a Treo before the iPhone and setting up the email on it took me about 5 minutes. The contacts and calendar sync flawlessly with Outlook, and the setup for that was probably 15 minutes.
Which application did you use to sync your Treo direct with Outlook on your computer for contact information and calendar events?
So my secondary point is that the iPhone is not really ready for corporate life yet unless you are willing to put a LOT of effort into setup, which I was.
A MobileMe account is not designed for business use - it is designed for personal use and the idea is using the MM email address and account as your primary email account/address.
I access my MM account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Setup for both took minutes. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account for over a year with my first generation iPhone, or with my iPhone 3G. This is when connected via various wi-fi networks with different ISPs and via EDGE or 3G.
If you are trying to access legacy POP accounts that don't have an authenticated SMTP server, you will have problems. I don't know what was different with your Treo in this regard, but the device has nothing to do with an ISP blocking the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for the internet connection unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. This has nothing to do with the iPhone.
