How can I sync my mail folders from my iMac and MacBook Air

I recently bought the new iMac and MacBook Air. I would like to access my emails on both computers. I have folders that sort my mail on both computers but cannot access them on the other computer. Thanks for your help!

What kind of email account do you have? (Who is it with?) The easiest way to do what you want is with an IMAP account, which actually stores folders on the email server, allowing any computer or device to see them. You cannot do the same with the older POP email accounts. Check whether your email provider offers IMAP.

    How can I sync my iPhoto Library from my iMac to my iPad?

    Thanks so much.  As always with Apple products---it was super easy.  Who would have guessed to open iTunes?
    Thanks again for the magic first step!

  • How can I sync my address book from my imac to my ipad 3?

    I have just bought an iPad 3 and want to copy my mail address book with email addresses intact from my iMac which has Snow Leopard, which I am happy with and do not want to change to Lion.   There must be an easy way, but I haven't found it

    Running Snow Leopard or Lion have no bearing on syncing contacts from the Mac. I synced my contacts from my MacBook when I was running Leopard.
    Connect the iPad to your Mac
    Launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices.
    Click on the Info Tab at the top of itunes on the right side of the window
    Click on Sync Contacts
    Select All contacts - or the selected groups that you want to sync
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • HT2729 How can I download an HD movie from iTunes to a MacBook Air as it has less than 2GHz Processor.

    Apple won't let me download an HD movie from the iTunes store to my Macbook Air 13 inch as it has a 1.8 Ghz processor and not the 2.0 Ghz processor it says HD movies need to play. Yet this computer has enough power to play them. How do I fix this?

    Hello maxr0,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I found this article that outlines where to go to download your purchases again in iTunes.
    The article named says it is for iTunes 10, but the steps will work for iTunes 11 as well.
    In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
    Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category.
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.
    If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.
    From: iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
    Once you get to the page for your Movies or TV Shows, there should be a checkbox that says Download HD When Available. Uncheck that, and then download your purchase and that should get you the SD version of your video.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How do I get my itunes library from my imac to macbook air

    Mac's make many things really easy to manage. So, why is it so difficult to work out how to get itunes onto macbook air from iMac

    You move the iTunes folder of the Music item in the Finder's sidebar as you would any other. This won't transfer rented movies or iTunes Store authorization.

  • Can you load Creative Suite software from your iMac to macbook air

    Tried loading my Creative Suite software to my MacBook Air and says issue with serial numbers.  1 user, 2 computers...can you do that?

    You should not be trying to transfer from one machine to another if that is what you are doing (your posting title makes it sound that way).  Use installation files and make sure the serial numbers agree with what your Adobe account lists for it.
    A single user license allows you to have two activated installations.  As long as the two machines meet the system requirements for the software you should be able to install and activate on both.

  • Can I sync the itunes account on my iMac and my Air?

    I have uploaded all my music onto my iMac but i have reciently bought an air, is there a way to make all the music and videos on my iMac available to the air? Is there a way to sync itunes over cloud
    With everything on my Mac working over iCloud to my iPad I was hoping there would be a way of syncing my music too... I dont have half of the CD's I origionally uploaded to my iMac 4 years ago but I want to be able to lissen to them on other macs.

    Whilst you are on the same network you can use Home Sharing (iTunes>Preferences>Sharing tab) to share the content on your Mac with the Air.
    For getting your iTunes content on all your devices have a look here, under the iTunes Everywhere heading: http://www.apple.com/itunes/what-is/

  • How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

  • TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
    My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
    Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
    Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

  • How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

    How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

    When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
