How do I sync my email on my iphone/ipad and mac so I don't have to "Read" emails in 2 places?

My iphone and ipad are synced so when I read an email on one of the devices, it is marked as read, but I just got a new iMac and it will not mark the emails I've read on my iphone/ipad as read. How do I fix this?

Easy to set gMail to use IMAP...

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

    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 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.

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    I ran into this same issue this morning and from what I read within the Apple Communities, the only way to now sync is to use iCloud.

    Make sure you choose your calendar's under the iCloud secition of your calandar's.

    How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

    Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.

    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...

  • HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

    Hi
    I am trying to sync my contacts on my IPhone to the mac pro but it seems not work.
    Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.
    Regards

    If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account.  For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone.  You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
    But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud.  The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification.  Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail.  The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices.  This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
    As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have
