Emails arrive fast on my iPhone and my iPad but I have to wait for hours on my iMac ?

Why do new emails arrive fast on my iPhone and my iPad but I have to wait for hours on my iMac ?

They don't... and there are emails I only get on my iPhone 5, later on on my iPad and they don't arrive on my iMac... at all, NOT GOOD.

IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account

Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.

Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
     1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
     1. Open Settings-iCloud.
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

I sold my iphone and my ipad but i received an email stating my icloud renewal will be charged on sept 20. how do i stop this without the devices?

How do i top my renewal for icloud storage? I have sold my iphone and ipad.

If you have a Mac, sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your iCloud login if not already signed in. If you have Windows, download the iCloud Control Panel and sign in if not already done so. Then follow the relevant instructions here:
iCloud: Downgrade your iCloud storage
If for any reason you are unable to do this, try contacting iTunes Store support: go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.
Failing all this, open the iTunes Store in iTunes, click 'Account' in the Quick Links on the right, then click 'Edit' next to 'Payment method' and remove your credit card.

My calendar appears on my iPhone and my iPad, but not on my Macbook Pro.

My calendar synchs with my iPhone and iPad, but not with my Macbood Pro. Any suggestions?
John Willetts

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I have a MAC desktop, an iPhone and an iPad. I have my email set up to go to all 3, because I use them for all different purposes. How can I cut down on the duplication of emails. I want to delete them for one spot and not have them go to the other 2.

If I delete emails from my phone, why do they still go to my iPad and desktop and vice versa? What's the solution to this, other than not getting the emails in 3 places?

I think the best solution would to just sync all email accounts and turn on and off which accounts you want on a device by going to Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars>name of e-mail account>toggle Mail On/Off switch.
I do not own multiple iDevices (maybe one day I will), try that and see if it works.

I am planning to buy an iPad. I already have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro. Should I wait for the new iOS 8 to arrive?

Greetings,
I am wondering about the upgrade coming up, to iOS 8. Should that affect whether I buy and iPad now, or not?

No, it shouldn’t. Unless you’re getting a first generation iPad(which isn’t capable of running iOS 8), you’ll be able to update for free.

TS1702 I seem to have switched on 'Restrictions' on both my iPhone and my iPad, but I can't remember the code to switch off again. Possibly as a result of this (although I'm not at all sure) iCloud, Faceltime, Twitter and Facebook cannot be accessed.

A separate issue is that the Apple calendar on my iPad has stopped working. It opens but then shuts itself down after about 1 or 2 seconds. I tried to reset everything, but I come up against the same requirement for a code that I can't remember.

Thats a seperate issue. Try closing the cal. app completely from the muti-task bar. Tap the home button twice until all the open apps appear. Hold an app untill they all start to jiggle, then you close the cal app with the red circle. Press home button again to go back to home screen.
You can also try removing any re-ocurring evernts or all day event from march 30 and april 1, see if that helps.
and you can try these: (but a restore should've already fixed it)
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

Can I buy a upgraded not a standard configuration in any apple store, not online, and how long do i have to wait for it, what is the protocol for it ?

Well thats my question, whats the protocol, i get in to the store tell them what what configuration and upgrades to ram or whatever do i need, and do i wait a couple of days to pick it up or how dose that work
Thanx

Pleasr note that if you do order a 'built to order' MBP, avoid RAM and HDD upgrades. You can save money by purchasing these through third party vendors and installing them yourself. This will not void your warranty and Apple will still make a handsome profit.

Sharing beetween an Imac, an iphone and an Ipad

Hello,
I wanted to know if it's possible to share music at home beetween an Imac and two different iOs device (an Iphone and an ipad) but with two differents Apple store ID one on Iphone and the other on Ipad?
Thank's

Yes you can do that assuming they are all on the same network. The ID you use on any of the devices for the iTunes Store can be any valid ID, but you need to use the same ID in the home sharing settings on all devices.

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password?

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?

Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

Try deleting the mail account and setting it back up again.
