Email sync issues between Mail & iPhone 5s

Hi guys, hopefully you can shed some light on the current situation I've got.
I used to have an iPhone 4s, and when I received an email on my iMac or iPhone, if it was deleted from one device, the change was synced between both devices so that it was also deleted on the other.
Here's a small diagram to show what I mean:
RECEIVE EMAIL ON IPHONE > DELETE ON IPHONE > EMAIL ALSO DELETED ON IMAC
RECEIVE EMAIL ON IMAC > DELETE ON IMAC > EMAIL ALSO DELETED ON IPHONE
You probably grasped that without the need of that pointless diagram, but it's there anyway in case you need it. Now, I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5s, set it up with the same apple id and copied over a backup from the previous phone. HOWEVER, now my emails don't sync between both devices and I can't figure out why? It now means I get emails through no problem on both the iMac and iPhone, but have to then delete both instances of the mail on both devices in order to de-clutter my inbox. Which is extremely annoying as sometimes I may not view emails on the mac so I end up having 100 emails that I already have read or deleted and need to delete them a second time.
Can anyone help with this predicament as I can't seem to get the issue solved!?
For extra information, I'm using both a Hotmail account and a GoDaddy email account and the problem is happening on both inboxes. Thank you!!!

Right, I've just had a mess around with the settings and have deleted the original mailbox from my account. Then I followed the steps on this blog - http://www.illusion-interactive.com/content/how-sync-hotmail-ios7-using-imap (which I didn't need to go quite as far as it seemed to do all the advanced settings input automatically).
After a quick test I can confirm it now works! For some reason my Hotmail account set up on the iPhone was set to POP3 rather than IMAP.
Thanks to your heads up though I managed to get it sorted. Cheers!

Calendar & Contact Syncing issues between Win & Iphone 3G

I have an Iphone 3G and normally sync with my Windows computer at work since 2007 and all was good. Then I synced once with my MAC G4 at home a couple weeks ago, and updated my Itunes and since then I can not get my calendar or my contacts to sync on my Windows computer at work. I have tried restoring, over-writting everything on the phone, etc. But no outlook changes are being carried over to my phone. HELP This is how I track my kids lives, work life, and church meetings and I am having serious issues keeping up. My photos, and music, audiobooks are all syncing perfectly. Thank you!!!

i think the issue is with the address book not the phone.
my phone has all i want, i cant get it to overide the data/merge or anything on the mac.

Email sync problem between iPad Air and iPhone 6+

Hello,
I have a user that travels quite a bit. We use Office 365 Enterprise
for our emails. He is reporting email sync issues between iPhone and iPad. Meaning
sometimes he will receive emails on the iPhone but not on the iPad or vice versa.
Both devices use the same AT&T network. Does anyone out there have any
suggestions as to what may be causing the sync problem between devices? I am
not sure if the devices ever have the same emails on the inbox. Does this make
sense? I will be happy to provide any other information if needed.
Thank you!

Hey daniel hkn,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like the email account may be configured and setup as a POP account. If so, check out this resource:
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201855
When using the same POP email account on more than one device, email messages may appear only on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server after an email client has received it. You can configure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your inbox.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad. icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I'm having this issue as well. I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported". I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email). When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select. When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I). What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad? Thanks!

Email sync issues

I'm having email sync issues & can't find a solution that fixes my problem. Tried everything I've been able to find, including ensuring Sync function is enabled in multiple locations, disabling then reenabling sync features, powering my phone off/on, even resetting the battery. Received the NK1 update on 11 Dec. Not sure if that's when the problems started or not, as I've been busy, but that's seems about the time things stopped sync'ing properly. Am using the email app that comes with the phone (an S4 mini), and have 3 email accounts, cox.net, and 2 aol accts. The cox & 1 of the aol accts won't sync, but the other aol acct does sync. The one that is working I have set to not auto sync, & the manual sync works. Not so on the other two ... the sync app says they are sync'd, but the email app says they haven't been sync'd in like 2-3 days, even tho I've sync'd them multiple times today. Get a continually circling busy / working symbol. Get new email on desktop computer without issues. After a few days, the other two accts will sync up.

CSForest,
From time-to-time I have had this issue with the default email app. Have you checked to see that the app is synched? When it happens with my S4, there is a message at the bottom of the screen saying the app isn't synched. Try this: pull down the status bar and click on the icon at the far right. This will open all the functions available on the status bar. Make sure 'Synch' is on. For some reason, this function on my phone gets turned off without me doing it. KarenC suggested using another email app. As a backup, I use K-9 Mail. I really like this app.
I hope this helps.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...

That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

When I sync iTunes between my iPhone 4 and my PC, does it also download my iPhone browser history to my PC? My PC is not a Mac and doesn't have Safari. Thanks!

When I sync iTunes between my iPhone 4 and my PC, does it also download my iPhone browser history to my PC? My PC is not a Mac and doesn't have Safari. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I think as browser history is just a series of URL links they would work with any browser. I found this info
Symptoms
When syncing iPhone or iPod touch bookmarks between Safari and Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows, the Favorites bar in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 may not refresh to reflect changes or updates to the bookmarks.
For example, if you sync Safari bookmarks to your device and then make changes to the bookmarks on the device (such as deleting some bookmarks, editing the web address, re-arranging the order of the bookmarks), when you then sync those bookmarks to Internet Explorer, the changes will not be reflected in the Favorites bar for Internet Explorer.
Resolution
To refresh the Favorites bar, quit and reopen Internet Explorer.
Seems to indicate they work with internet Explorer

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
Which particular issue are you referring to?
Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

Email syncing for virginmedia, mail and iphone 4

I have a virginmedia email account which I sync with Mac Mail and iPhone 4.
When I download emails to my mail app the same emails aren't also downloaded on my iphone and vice versa. General syncing with read/unread emails don't happen either. I'm left with half my emails on my phone, half on my laptop and resort to using the webmail which is dreadful for email management.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

The design and intention behind transferring the backup for an existing or another iPhone to a new iPhone is for doing this right away with the new iPhone before using it much if at all. The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on your computer that was being used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the existing or another previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This places all the data included with the backup for the existing or another previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This doesn't add the data included with the iPhone's backup to any of the data available on the new iPhone, which there shouldn't be any since this should be done right away or as the very first thing with a new iPhone.
If a backup for the new iPhone was not created before the backup for the previous iPhone was transferred to the new iPhone, any of the data that was available on the new iPhone before the backup for the previous iPhone was transferred to the new iPhone is lost.

HT4528 Is there a fix for calendar sync issues between iPhone 4S and Outlook?

My boss has an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0.1 and a Microsoft Exchange 2003 email account and has consisent sync issues with her calendar. The problem only seems to come up with calendar invitations. Usually, when people send her calendar invitations the events get added to her Outlook calendar on her PC but not on her iPhone. More recently she also sent out invitations through Outlook that also didn't appear on her phone. She has also accepted invitations on her phone that did not appear on her PC. The problem seems to have gotten worse more recently.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I tried deleting the calendar through the phone's settings and re-installed it but it didn't solve the issue.

There was a reported issue with Exchange and iOS with re-occuring meeting invites. Not only did it cause issues on the device, but on the Exchange server side it created huge logs and high utilization on the CAS. This was an issue on iOS 6.0.x - 6.1.3 (at which time it has been fixed from 6.1.3 on). This was attributed to the iOS version and happened on all devices (not just the 4s).
I am not sure if this is what your employee is experiencing or not - but this is one that we had, and we asked all running iOS 6 to upgrade to the most current release (oddly enough, we did not see this in iOS 5.x devices).
