Gmail on iphone~ losing some folders...

My friend is using iphone 3gs to logon his gmail account,
one day he woke up and found that some folders within the mail account is gone... e.g. draft and sent mail folders...
Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem... thanks a lot~

I have had this happen with my mobile me account. I added 2 accounts to Mail.app for my new website. My hosting company told me to add IMAP PREFIX = "INBOX". It took me a while to get those account working. I couldn't figure out if I should put the prefix under my Main mobile me account or under the 2 new web accounts. I think once I put it under my Mobile Me account, it messed things up. So now I know longer see all of my folders, i.e. Sent, Drafts, Trash and Junk. How can I recover this.
I now just have the IMAP Prefix under the 2 new accounts and not my Mobile Me account. My 2 new accounts have Drafts, Junk, Sent and Trash!! Adding it back to Mobile Me account does not fix problem.
Sorry Apocloud I don't have answer, but hopefully this will entice someone to respond.

I moved the mobilesync path where my backups should be stored. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone. How do I fix this?

A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

Howdy there mjspace1994,
It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Proplems syncing some folders of pictures to iPhone

I have several folders of pictures sync'd to my iPhone and all is good there but there are couple of folders that just will not sync. I check them and "apply" but after the sync some folders just do not show up on the phone. I have tried unchecking, syncing and repeating the process. I have plenty of space on the iphone so that is not an issue either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Selected Folders will only appear if you have sub-folders created under the folder that is selected to be synced.
e.g. You have a AAAA folder with sub-folders BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE within folder AAAA. So if you have selected AAAA folder to be synced then choose All Folders. All photos under AAAA, BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE will be synced over to your Device and you will have BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE appeared as albums on your Devices.
If you have chosen Selected Folders, then BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE will appear under it to allow you to select one or more of these folders to be synced.
There is no option for you to select folders all over your hard drive to be synced,
Hope the above explains.

Push Gmail on Iphone ios 7 -- best solution

Perfect solution for Push Gmail on iPhone:
Create a outlook.com email if you don’t already have one www.outlook.com
Log in Gmail, Settings – Forwarding and POP/IMAP – Add a forwarding address – add your outlook.com email – verified – Forward a copy of incoming mail to your outlook.com email and mark Gmail’s copy as read.
Log in Outlook email, click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account – Your email accounts – Add a send-only account – add your Gmail account
click right top gear – More mail settings – Writing email – Reply-to address – Select your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account -- Aliases: manage or choose a primary – Add alias -- Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias – Add your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account -- Aliases: manage or choose a primary – select Make Primary for your Gmail
click right top gear – More mail settings -- Managing your account – Your email accounts – Default “From” address – select your Gmail address.
now you can set up in your iphone mail – Outlook.com – enter your Gmail address NAME and your Outlook email PASSWORD.
Done. Now you have push and even when you reply an email from your iphone, the sender will displayed as your Gmail.
Hope you enjoy it!

I have also switched to outlook as a conduit for my gmail. Push works great to my IOS devices and there is also the great benefit of very easy integration with Outlook 2013 on my windows PC. The only small glitch i have found is when an email is forwarded from gmail into the outlook inbox, if I reply-all, it adds my own gmail address to the reply, which then is auto-forwarded back to the outlook inbox when I send it. Pretty sure this is because I'm sending from the outlook account, but the gmail address was the original recipient. Minor hassle but seems worth it given all the other benefits. Any ideas on a solution?
I ran the outlook tool to import all my historical email from gmail into my outlook.com account. It worked quite well, but one question. In addition to recreating folders that lined up with my gmail labels, it also created an outlook "category" with the same name as my gmail address. And it populated that category (at least I think so) with every email from my gmail account. I think this may essentially be the all-mail from gmail, but does anyone know what's going on with this? I'm not at all familiar with outlook categories. I actually had two gmail accounts, imported them both, and it created two categories, one for each gmail address. If I just delete those categories, will it affect the way my emails appear and the folders that were created? The categories only appear when I'm on line at the outlook.com site. No sign of them in the iOS devices or when using Outlook 2013.
Also, per the original instructions above, what does step 4 do?
"4. click right top gear – More mail settings – Writing email – Reply-to address – Select your Gmail"

Bridge CC constantly re-caching some folders (again).

My new Bridge CC on Win 7 is repeatedly re-caching thumbnails on some folders. Not all folders, just some, and that is my mystery. I have been doing extensive tests and yet can't determine what it is about some folders or their contents that cause a constant re-cache.
Would like to know if anyone else is seeing a re-caching problem with Bridge CC, and if you have a clue why?
I have tried all the usual suspects, short of a complete re-install. I've updated, I've trashed preferences, I've tried many different image folders and contents. I've set my cache size to the max and put it on a disk with tons of room. I've completely deleted the cache and started over. Can't find any rhyme or reason.
This problem is similar to one I and several other people had with CS6 many months ago.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1024624?start=0&tstart=0
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1007560
Different people reported different causes and cures. In my case, the cause was the presence of layered TIF files in a folder. Disabling TIF support made it go away. The final cure for me was the last update to CS6 Bridge.
But my current CC Bridge cache problem is not the same. Layered TIFs are definitely not the cause. It appears to happen only on folders with raw files, but not all of them. It does not happen on different folders containing tif or jpeg versions of the same files. Something is making Bridge think the files in a folder have changed when, in fact, they have not.

I have less sympathy. The bug has been documented for several years, and no one seems to have taken ownership of the problem. As it only affects Bridge, it appears to automatically become very low priority. The only reason the first bug was fixed was because I isolated the cause and then badgered Adobe. So, I reckon the only way to get the second bug fixed is if us users can find a way to recreate the symptoms reliably.
I have about 40,000 images in scores of folders, organised by century, year and month-date. I'd say more than 3/4 of the folders are unaffected by the bug. The folders that are affected tend to regenerate up to 3/4 of the thumbnails. Clearing the cache for the folder can sometimes reduce this fraction. As you noted, copying them to a new location can remove the problem, but this is not necessarily permanent, and it often returns. Simply copying the files to another computer doesn't work. It seems to be a problem with the cache and the Bridge database.
I've spent several hours trying to diagnose the criteria which triggers the bug. The ONLY thing which seemed to help was to untick the "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" box. It killed the repeats dead on my system. My guess is that this bug is more likely to affect people to change Camera Raw defaults to enable this feature and process most or all of their images, as they will have a very high percentage of thumbnails subject to LPCs in every folder. Like the 6.1 bug, the 7.3 bug probably needs some other condition to trigger the cache discrepancy which causes the regeneration.
So, my workaround was to remove LPC from all of my non-shortlisted images, and from Camera Raw defaults. Now, I only use LPC on my best images, and only if necessary. It seems to have cut down the drain on resources, but the better my photos, the more work Bridge must do! ;-)

Are the messages successfully sent?
If so, what happens to a message after it is successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

How to hide some folders in a woprkspace from some external users?

Hi
We manage a workspace that has both Internal external users. We have a requirements in a way that external users can only see some folders they have access to. What is the best way to accomplish.
I reviewed an article in "How to" section which describes how to use ACLS to hide some folders from certain users (https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html).
But this process is cumbersome as we need to go to exh folder and revoke permission for selected users. And also if we add any new folders to the workspace that folder will default be accessible to the external users also. We want by default any new folders do not have access to this group of users except the ones we provide access to.
How can we do it?
Regards
Ram Uppu

Ram,
We have a new process which is much more easily used - the https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/External_06_howto.html page has been upfdated to show the new process.

Not all phone numbers sync from Gmail to iPhone

Is there a way to control which phone numbers sync from my Gmail Contacts to my iPhone (and vice-versa)?
A few things I've noticed:
- only 1 "mobile" number gets synced from gmail to iphone (which is a pain when a contact has mobile numbers is a couple of different countries)
- a number labled as "other" in gmail doesn't get synced at all to the iphone
I should mention that I have my Gmail account on my iPhone set up as an "Exchange" account.
Thanks.

If you've got Gmail set up as an Exchange account, your options for labels are limited. And, every now and then, I had it randomly relabel things. I'd recommend syncing the contacts through a standard Gmail set up. If you want to keep using your email through Exchange you can do that. Just turn off contacts for that account. When you set up the standard Gmail account (IMAP), only turn on contacts. I've found it works much better.

Ok so i broke my old computer and my iphone has some of my library on it so now how do i get my stuff from my library thata not on my iphone to my new computer?PLeas help!!!!

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here;
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- After you get everything on the computer, make a backup of he iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
If in the USA and other places where iCloud is released, you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My daughter has an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account. Please help

My daughter and I both have an iPhone and some how we share an iCloud account and she's getting all my texts and contacts. I can't find where to uncheck her phone number on my phone account so she doesn't get all my texts and contacts. Please help

Hi Shellyk,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and make sure that only your personal email addresses are listed under the individual phone number.Remove the "shared" iCloud email address.
For the Contacts, if you are syncing them via iCloud and you both have the same iCloud account, you will both have the same Contact list.
Cheers,
GB
