Exchange, iPhone/iPad and my Mac

Hi
I have been using my work-Exchange account on my iPad and iPhone for a long time now, but I'm not allowed to use my Mac at home to access the servers at work.
Is there any way I can use the mobile-exchange server (or webmail) settings in OS X? I have access via webmail as well, but its a pain to use, and I would rather be using iCal, Address Book and Mail to manage my exchange related stuff...
The server is there, I am allowed access via my cellphone... Frustrating...

I too am having this problem. But I find the setup is not the same iPhone/iPad iOS Mail as it is to OS X Mail. In iOS, you touch the option to add a new Exchange account. It asks for your user name, password and a domain. If you don't connect straight away you'll then be asked for a server. We use "webmail.company_name.com". This is the same as our OWA (outlook web access) server. Upon entering the webmail server address, BOOM, you have mail, contacts and calendars.
Switch to OS X Mail. When you add a new account it no longer prompts you to select the account type (eg: Google, Yahoo, Exchange) like it used to. Now it simply asks for your name, user name and password then attempts to self-configure. In my case, after a long delay, I'm asked what type of account I want to setup: Exchange 2007, Exchange IMAP. When I pick Exchange 2007 I'm never able to get mail messages. In fact, I'm asked to enter an internal server, external server, ports, etc., etc. etc.
What I'd really like to see is a simple setup in OS X Mail just like there is in iOS Mail.

    I have an iPhone, iPad and a Mac desk top. What do I need to do to continue my iCloud ?

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

  • Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

    I don't understand the ITunes.  I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display.  When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize.  I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device.  Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

    You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

  • Is MS exchange the only way to keep mail synced across all devices? Can Mac mail do this without exchange? I have iPhone,iPad and new MacBook Pro, and looking for advice please.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Syncing Outlook for Mac with a hotmail pop accountto 'mail' on iphone, ipad and ipod

    I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, with a hotmail account set up as a pop account to my outlook inbox.  I also have that same hotmail account set up on my iphone, ipad and ipod.  Is there a way to sync my e-mail between Outlook for Mac and the 'mail' on my other devices, so that when I delete an email on my computer, it deletes on all devices?
    I'm not so tech savvy and am happy to provide any additional information but am not sure where to start!  I would appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thank you

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).

  • I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any indi

    I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
    I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
    Any ideas ...Please!

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • Exchange 2010 activesync, Personal archive access from Mobile devices like Iphone,IPAD and Android based Phones

    Hi,
    As of what i have found from different blogs is that all the activesync devices including IPhone , IPAD and  Android based phones cannot access online archive/Personal archive in exchange 2010.
    Is there any third party app in the market for the above devices which can support access of Online archive?
    Thanks in Adavance

    There must be a way! Since you can view the online archive through webmail with supported browsers on PC(IE, Firefox, Safari OSx) (so activeX is no must).
    All it takes is a browser that can set a different 'agent' and that can interact with the webmail(OWA) website just like Safari on OSx.
    I tried different browsers on the iPad, they all display the Online archive, but the navigation is broken. (scrolling by sliding your fingers does not work correct) The result is that you can not open(read) any mail in your online archive.
    The browsers we tested and show the online archive but where the navigation doesn't work are:
    On iPad:
    - Kissmyagent
    - Atomnic(the free AND payd version)
    On android:
    app: 'OWA for Android' (does not show the online Archive)
    Maybe someone can come up with a browser and/or app that can show the online archive!

  • HT4898 How do I keep my mobile me email account across my iphone, ipad, and mac once I am on icloud?

    How do I keep my mobile me email account synced across my iphone, ipad, and mac once I am on icloud?

    Basically iCloud will do it for you.
    All you have to do on your iOS devices is login to your iCloud account and enable mail synchronisation, iCloud will do the rest.
    Your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.8, which cannot run iCloud. If this is the case, you can still use iCloud mail, but will have to enter the details manually.(iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2 or better on a Mac)
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

    Are the 2 copies in the Inbox downloading at the same time or separately?
    Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • How to connect by Bluetooth between iPhone, iPad and Mac

    How do I connect an iPhone, iPad and Mac by Bluetooth?

    There's a known Bluetooth issue with the latest version of iOS (8.0 up to the current 8.0.2), and it won't be solved (hopefully) until Apple releases iOS 8.1, sometime next week.
    I have the same problem as you, and many others do too. Just search the forum with the keywords "bluetooth" and "iOS 8", and you'll see...
