Email-sync with iTunes and/or download

Hi all,
I'm new to both Mac and iPhone. I have used iTunes for just music and sync to a Nano but just got a MacBook Pro and today an iPhone 4.
I have set up my email in the MacBook Pro and it works fine. Only my roadrunner email and the trial MobileMe accounts.
Next I set up iTunes to sync. It appears I'm getting email on my iPhone both when I sync iTunes and when I get new mail from the server.
Is it better to not let the emails come in normally and just sync media in iTunes?
I did think about using MobileMe for this but with all the problems others are having, I don't want to mess with it for mail, contacts and calendar.
What is the best way to set this up?
Thanks
Earl Green

OK, finally got the answer from mobileme chat. FYI, the email does not sync so I don't need to worry about it.

  • I tried to update my ipod touch software update by syncing with itunes and now its in recovery mode?  Is it possible to get it out of recovery mode?  if so, then how?

    I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode".  Seems like the only option is to restore?  Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

    No.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at the backup phase

    My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at backing up phase. I tried to update my ios(mine is 7.1.2) and it states that the iphone update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Likewise when I try to update my iTunes through the help column(check for updates), it also says the same thing as when I try to update my ios on iTunes. Please help!

    I understand that you are receiving an alert that your iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the troubleshooting steps suggested within it.

  • HT1386 I have a new Iphone 5.  Have downloaded 6.0.1  am in the process of syncing with itunes and it is taking hours to sync.  I do backup to the cloud.  I synced my iphone4s to computer prior to plugging iphone 5 so the latest data would be on system.

    I have a new iphone 5.  Trying to sync with itunes on my computer.  Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current.  My old iphone does sync with cloud.  When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing.  This has been over a hour.  Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    OUR IPOD SHUFFLE KEEPS TRYING TO SYNC WITH ITUNES.  WE HAVE SEVERAL DEVICES ---2 IPOD SHUFFLES AND AN IPAD.  THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN WE WERE SETTING UP OUR NEW IPAD BEING ABLE TO SHARE MUSIC PURCHASED IN ITUNES WITH THE IPAD.
    FOR THE POD'S WE WANT TO MANUALLY COPY PURCHASED SONGS FROM ITUNES TO OUR IPADS.  WE HAVE TRIED EVERY MENU TRYING TO TURN OFF THE SYNCING FUNCTION BUT CAN'T.  IT ONLY HAPPENS ON 1 OF OUR IPODS.
    ITUNES ON MY DESK TOP SEES THE PROBLEM IPOD AND IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO SYNC AND AGAIN DOES THIS EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO COPY A SONG FROM THE DESK TOP TO THE IPOD.
    WE VERIFIED THAT THE IPOD HAS THE LATEST S/W VERSION.
    ANY HELP WOLD BE APPRECIATED

    It is - came over from a Droid (was a former 3G user)... forgot how smooth and seamless the iPhone experience was. The Droid was nice, and Android is interesting, but the iPhone is so much simpler and easy. I hacked the heck out of the Droid, and it's so nice to be back on a smooth, "just works" phone.
    Anyway, thanks again.

    Hi
    I want to download an app but keep getting  message box saying device needs update ios 4.3. have sync with itunes but this says the device has all the latest updates. Anyone know how to proceed?
    Thank you

    Hard to say since you provide no information.
    You want to download an app to what device?
    Which generation of that model?
    Current software on the device?
    Any info?

  • I lost my hardrive, got new computer, tried to sync with itunes and my personal music (not purchased) does not show up.  Do i have to re-download all my personal music once again?

    I lost my hardrive, got new computer, reloaded itunes, tried to sync with ipod nano and only my purchased music shows up - how do I get my downloaded music back.  message says ipod is sync'd with other library - the one I lost on my old computer! Help!

    Sue,
    I recommend an external drive to maintain your music.  All your purchases are held in iCloud...so redownloading should be easy.  Also, Home sharing is a great way to transfer to a new computer, but in the case of hard drive failure your options are limited.  Home sharing is specifically for transferring to another pc.  Good luck!

  • Hi, first time on help!  how do I find and download the latest version of itunes on my iphone 4. just tried to sync with itunes and error stated I need newest version!!!

    Hi, can anybody help!   
    Just tried to sync my iphone in itunes and received an error(need the latest version of itunes)
    I have tried to download this but no joy. I need 11.1.4
    Can anybody tell me whare to find and download this on my phone.

    It is telling you that you need to install the latest version of itunes on your computer, not your iphone
    Itunes is bult into the iphones operating system.  You do not download itunes at all on your iphone.

  • HT1529 Trying to have iTalk sync with iTunes, and then enable iTalk Premium to email greater length recordings

    How to sync iTalk with iTunes?

    Entourage calendar does not sync as you are expecting, with iCal.
    Turn your Entourage sync services on (to sync your calendar) and you will notice in iCal a new calendar on the left, called Entourage. Mind has a purple color to it, for example.
    Now, in iCal, create a new appointment and assign it TO the Entourage calendar. Now sync, and hey presto it shows up in Entourage.
    This is by design, Entourage does not sync ALL of your iCal calendars, it will only sync the Entourage calendar which is created in iCal.
    For example, I have Home, Work, Personal and Entourage calendars in iCal - appointments I make with my Home, Work or Personal calendar will not appear in Entourage, period. Only appointments made in iCal using the Entourage calendar will appear in Entourage (after a sync).
    Likewise, appointments made IN Entourage Calendar, are sync'd to iCal and are only visible if you show the Entourage calendar in iCal - (it's switched ON by default, but can be switched off by un-ticking the calendar in the left pane of iCal).
    Does this make sense?

  • Question about future of push email & syncing with Mac and PC on iPhone

    I have two questions that I've tried to get answers from at two different Apple Stores, but I get many different answers - so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
    1) I understand that push email is coming in the 2.0 software release this summer - but will that only be for Microsoft Exchange customers? My small business uses DreamHost (a private mail server company) that runs postfix under Debian Linux and supports Courier IMAP...our IT guy told me this, I'm not sure what it all means - he's a PC guy...
    2) Can I sync my iPhone to my Entourage Mail & Contacts from my Mac AND sync my iTunes from my PC? Is this a bad idea?
    THANKS!
