How do I get mail on my iPhone and Mac to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?

Hello!
I use Gmail, and with either Google Sync or with a standard account set up, I'm not able to get my iPhone and MacBook Pro to sync mail automatically, so I end up having to read and delete emails twice.
There must be an easy way around that, that I'm stupidly unable to find, right?
Thanks!

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

How do I get music off my iphone and into my itunes

I had several CDs that I had downloaded into my itunes and put them on my iphone. Then my computer crashed and I had to get a new one. Now none of those cds are in my library but they're still on my iphone. How can I get them off my phone and into my itunes? I cant sync any new music because it says my phone is synved with another itunes library and if I do, everything on my phones gonna be erased. Help????

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Mail messages disappeared.....How do I get mail back from iphone 4 to macbook?

Have had my iphone 2 days but my mail is messed up and I can't view any messages or send/receive on my laptop, only on my iphone. Did I sync by mistake..............I don't remember doing so! Can one mail account be viewed/used on both iphone and laptop simultaneously or do you have to choose one location ? Any help appreciated: can't get to speak to a Mac support adviser at the moment

Deciphertools.com was $9.99, downloaded smoothly, looks good and was totally hassle free for me. So far I reccommend them.
Click my name to see my replies regarding this topic. Others have replied with alternate ideas, one company looked good another not so much. There's quite a few out there but it's best to reserach a little, read reviews and decide for yourself.
More expensive doesn't mean squat btw, don't be impressed if a $20 program seems better than one half it's price. It's about what you want for the money. Screenshots help show what you will get as the final result and a money back guarantee is a sign of honesty/good business sense.
Let us know what you went with an do a quick review here after.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

HT201269 how do i get my pics off iPhone and transfer to my mac?

How do I get my pictures off my I phone to transfer to my mac? Please explain as simple as possible.

Assuming you are running Mavericks and the current version of iPhoto on your Mac:
Open iPhoto on your Mac. Click iPhoto > Preferences from iPhoto's menu. On the "General" tab, choose "Connecting camera opens ... iPhoto".
Then plug your iPhone into your Mac. iPhoto should open and you should see your iPhone there. You may have to click "Import ...".
This assumes that you are talking about photos you took on your iPhone (and are therefore in iPhone's Camera Roll).

How do I get photos out of iphone and in PC

I have a PC. How in the world do I get my 90 photos out of the iphone and onto my pc without having to email them one at a time to myself. Can someone please help me. I am sure I am overlooking something very simple.
Perry

When your iPhone includes photos in the camera roll - which are photos that were captured by your iPhone, or photos saved from a received email or from a website, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. One option with Windows is using the Camera and Scanner wizard.

HT1414 How do I get iOS6 off my iPhone and put back iOS5.1.1??

On an iPhone4 that had iOS5.1.1 (and worked perfectly, by the way), I upgraded to iOS6 and that was when my iPhone 4 became just an iPod with short battery life.
How can I dump iOS6 and get iOS5.1.1 back on my iPhone 4?!

There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS.
Apple do not support downgrading.

How do I get Pages on my iPhone and Pages on my Macbook Pro to sync through iCloud?

Hi All,
I just downloaded the Pages app for my Iphone4 and I've already had the Pages app for my Macbook Pro and I want the documents (proposals for work) thats saved on my Mac to obviously be available on my phone through Pages. I've turn on the documents & data in both units in the iCloud. I thought the stuff would automatically be transfered. Id there something more I need to do?? And isn't iWork going away? not that I use it (well I did for 2 estimates/proposals) only. Someone please help I've read numerous threads and nothing works.
Thanks,
Sean

Apple has not updated the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud. Until they do you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.
No, iWork is not going away. The iWork.com (beta) service that was introduced with iWork '09 at Macworld in January, 2009, is going away.

How do I get my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad all in sync with each other?

Just bought an iPad mini. What is best way to sync my iPhone 5, MacBook Pro, and iPad mini?

You use iTunes on the MacBook Pro to store backups of apps and documents. Use iPhoto on the MacBook Pro to organize and store photos. Then sync each device with the MacBook Pro by connecting the device to the MacBook Pro and running iTunes.

How can I get videos off my iPhone and onto iPad2 for editing?

I have backed up the videos into a folder, and I load them into a folder that I sync with the iPad but I cannot view them... Any suggestions.

You imported the videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer placing the imported videos in a folder that was selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with having Include Videos selected under the Photos tab followed by a sync?
The videos are not available via the Photos app on your iPad?

How do I get mail to stop snapping back to top of inbox after moving a message

My organization provides iPads to some employees to assist them in working remotely. Most people updated their devices to ios7 on the day of release, but I waited so we could compare functionality. I'm glad I did, as there have been a few things that we've had to figure out for our users. However, there is one we can't find the answer for. Most of our users make use of email extensively, and it has for the most part worked great on the iPads. But here is the problem now: a user goes into their inbox which has hundreds of messages, so they decide to clean it up a bit. They scroll down to some of their old messages, and move the message to a folder. That's works fine. However, when the screen goes back to the inbox, it snaps back to the top, rather than going back to the position in their inbox where they last were. Thus they need to scroll down again. When I first saw this, I assumed that it didn't work prior to ios7. However, I checked on my iPad (not on ios7 yet) and the inbox does not snap back to the top, but rather remembers where I last was in the list of messages. Some of users are finding this very annoying, as they are wasting time scrolling through their inbox.
Anyone got a fix for this?

Hi BGreg - Thanks for responding. That option is definitely not checked- which is why this is so mysterious to me.
The other thing that might be a clue is that, as I type an email, drafts of that email show up in my In box. Why multiple versions of the draft show up in my In box (rather than a single version in Drafts folder) is a mystery. It means that I have dozens of versions of long emails (each version reflecting a longer stage of completion) clogging up my In box.
Weird, huh?
