.e/.mac alias on iphone

Is there anyway yet to easily send messages from the iphone from a .me/.mac alias?
On an unrelated topic, is there any way to edit a user alias in this forum. I have not been able to find a way to modify an alias here.
Thanks.

If you want to have multiple "from" addresses - whether they are .mac, .me or anything else...the only way to do this is to setup your MobileMe account as an IMAP account instead of letting it automatically configure it for you.
Mail Account Information:
Account Type: IMAP
Email Address: [email protected], [email protected], etc
Full Name
Incoming Mail Server: mail.me.com
User Name: (your MobileMe username)
Password: (your MobileMe password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): you will have to use an SMTP server that allows you to send from a different from address with authentication. You can not use default MobileMe SMTP server. If you have a gmail account - you can use gmail smtp but there are some downsides to using gmail, i.e. Outlook clients display "sent on behalf of your gmail account" when they reply to your e-mail.
You will sync this account to your iPhone and use it for e-mail
On your iPhone you will set up a MobileMe account using your MobileMe information, i.e. [email protected] Then you will turn OFF e-mail sync and turn ON the Contacts, Calendars and Bookmarks.
The only downside to this solution (besides it is not as easy as letting it auto configure everything for you) is that you give up "PUSH" e-mail. I found the PUSH e-mail to be too distracting anyway.
This will allow you to set your primary address for sending/replying to e-mail...but still be able to select any of the others when you reply or create e-mail.
The other practical use of this solution is that you can share contacts, bookmarks, calendar with another person, i.e. spouse while having your own e-mail accounts.
My wife and I share bookmarks, addressbook and iCal so that our Macs and iPhone have the same information.

Using .mac alias on iphone

I would like to use one of my ,mac alias for my return mail on iphone. I try not to use my main .mac email to keep it safe from spammers ect. I see in the setting you can change the email address but I am not sure it is safe to change it to one of my alias' or not. Please let me know.
Thank you

There is no facility in the iPhone's mail settings to choose an alternate .mac alias.
Additionally, in the .mac mail account settings, there is only one place for entering an e-mail address.
You can do it manually, however.
1. Add a new account (Settings > Mail > Add Account... > Other
2. Make sure the IMAP tab is selected above
3. In the 'address' field, enter your complete alias address, including the '@mac.com'
4. For every instance of 'User Name' enter your main .mac username (no '@mac.com' necessary)
5. Incoming host name: mail.mac.com
6. Outgoing host name: smtp.mac.com
That's it! Tested and works 100% for me.

Setting Up a Dot Mac Alias on iPhone

Could someone please tell me the smtp and incoming settings for setting up a .Mac alias on the iPhone? I found a discussion where it said you have to set it up as an "other" (as opposed to a .Mac), but it does not give you the step-by-step. I thought I knew how the settings would be worded, but clearly I am wrong.

Here are some instructions on how to do it on the Moto Q. While the steps aren't the same, the information you need should be here.

Send Email FROM .Mac Alias??

Does anyone know how to send an email from your .Mac Alias in iPhone?
Thanks,

Do you use the Mail application on your Mac for accessing your .Mac account and alias email addresses?
If so, all messages addressed to an alias email address are received in the Inbox mailbox for your primary .Mac account. An alias email address is really not a separate email account - it uses the same user name and password as the primary account.
When creating the alias email address as a separate account with the iPhone, you enter the user name and password for your primary .Mac account but your alias email address is entered in the email address field to appear as the sending email address when sending a message with the alias. When an email account is checked for new messages, the account's user name and password is what is used so this is why the same email is delivered to the primary account and to the alias email address which isn't a separate account at the incoming mail server.

How to use a .Mac alias in the outgoing address field from iPhone?

I do not want my .Mac Apple ID showing up in the outgoing address field from my iPhone. I want to use an alias instead, just like I use in Mail. How can I use the same alias in iPhone?
The iPhone has been great once I finally got it activated...no problems synching from Outlook on my PC and Address Book and iCal on my Mac. Now all of my PC and Mac data are finally merged on my iPhone and on both computers...wish I would have saved the money I spent on two versions of MissingSync! Looking forward to some software updates...

If you want to setup a different REPLY TO, you have to use the OTHER shortcut when creating the mail account on the iPhone. It allows you to specify an address in the Account Information box different from your incoming and outgoing server login IDs.

Mobile Me Alias w/ iPhone

I have my main account [email protected]
I have an alias [email protected]
How do I setup my iphone to sends as [email protected] ?

Hi Rick -
I have the same problem as you described it. But I do not see that this question is already answered.
Anyways, I use a workaround to this by simply creating one 'pure IMAP' (no push only fetch) account with the details of my MobileMe account and one automatically generated 'MobileMe IMAP' account.
For the ease of editing I chose to create the two accounts on my Mac and transfered the settings via sync to my iPhone.
When you create the pure IMAP account make sure you deselect 'Automatically set up account ' - it appears right after you added your AppleID to the address field - because then you may edit your alias to a different name than your AppleID AND be able to use it on your iPhone. Note: Apples Mail client does not need this workaround it easily deals with aliases but your iPhone seemingly does not, as of yet.
After a sync of your Mac with your iPhone you configure the two Mail accounts on your iPhone such that you only activate all push functions (calendar, contacts, etc.) that come with your MobileMe IMAP account but deactivate mail.
The pure IMAP account only supports mail. Note: In the account info on your iPhone you find separate fields for address (which you make your alias) and user name (your AppleID). Use this mailbox as your default mailbox for sending and receiving mail on your iPhone.
Also, only the pure IMAP mailbox of the two created mailboxes on your iPhone mail client will be shown because you deactivated the other. Of course you may deactivate the pure IMAP mailbox on your mac as well but you keep it in your list of mailboxes for later syncing.
Hope this helps!

Can't send email from .mac account on iPhone

I can no longer send from my .mac account. I get the error message on the phone "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed"".
This occurs both on edge and on WiFi. I have looked through other suggested fixes and have tried deleting the account on the phone and setting it up directly on the phone. I've also tried toggling the "sync mail account" setting in iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you are using the Mail.app on your Mac, what are you using as the server port for .Mac's SMTP server?
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25, enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and if you are transferring your .Mac account settings from your Mac to the iPhone via the iTunes sync preferences for your iPhone, re-sync to transfer this change to the iPhone.
If the account was manually entered on the iPhone and you aren't syncing the account settings from your Mac, in the SMTP server field for your .Mac account preferences on the iPhone, add 587 to the server separated by a colon.
smtp.mac.com:587
This should take care of it.
My .Mac account is my primary account and I haven't had any problems sending messages with my .Mac account on any WiFi network or EDGE with this setting.

How do I copy my songs from my mac to my iphone

I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2 and a PowerBook Pro running Mavericks. I have my music Library (files) stored on my MacBook. I would like to copy my music files from my MacBook to my iPhone. I've tried iTunes 11 sync and that does not move the files to my iPhone. I've tried going into the Settings on my iPhone and turning auto download of iTunes music purchases and that does nothing. I'm sure there is an easy way to copy my Music files from my Mac to my iPhone but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how ?
Thanks,
Dave

Connect the device to iTunes
Select it in the left-hand column
Select the Music tab
Choose content to sync

How can I Move photos from Mac computer to iPhone

I have no problem moving photos from the iPhone to my Mac using 'Image Capture.'
Now, I would like to know how to move pictures from my Mac to the iPhone. I can pretty well imagine that I first need to set the pixel dimensions of whatever I'm going to transfer to the iPhone to the iPhone standard. To do that, I will take an unaltered iPhone pic on my Mac and read the dimensions to get the standard. Past that point I'm not sure what is the best way to move the picture onto the iPhone.
Any recommendations on how to do this?
TIA,
Ken

Here is what I found doing a search of similar topics:
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
Choose "Sync photos from."
Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.

i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
Many thnaks for your answers.

You can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer. There is no way around this.
Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum. Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share.

Can I seamlessly toggle Apple TV between Mac Mini and Iphone / iPad?

I am having a Mac Mini, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. Currently i am using 2 HDMI cables 1 between TV and Mac Mini and 2nd between TV and Apple TV. Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV; it becomes an issue.

Toggle how? What are you doing? Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV? That is the whole point of AppleTV. It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
it becomes an issue.
What does? What is the issue? What specifically fails or does not work?

You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup. Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup. This should effectively move all your data to your new device. Report back if you have any problems.

Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

but can i then only ever use both the iphone and itouch with that particular mac?
you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.

Hi Randers4 thank you for trying to help. I finally gave up and just called apple. Apparantly my renewel went under my icloud ID while my previous accout was my itunes ID. Never had to match them before but I guess we do now. Once I switched my iphone ID to the ID I used to renew the icloud it backed up. Live and learn.
Thanks again, hope this helps others too.
