How do I sync my non-apple email account settings (5 email addresses) with my ipad air using OS X Mavericks?

I recently acquired a new iPad air (first time ipad user) and while I am quite happy with icloud, I seem to be unable to sync all of my remaining email account settings (automatically) with apple mail under OS X Mavericks.
I simply want to use all of my email accounts, which are setup in Mail (on my imac) with my iPad without having to add them manually to my iPad. This used to be no problem with all previous versions of OS X. Email account settings could be synchronized using the respective tool located within the info tap in itunes.
Are there any solutions?
Do I really have to add each and every email account now separately to all of my idevices???
This is ridiculous!!!

Unfortunately there seems to be no practical solution. You will have to go through the hassle of setting up your accounts manually.
Strange enough though, when setting up my new macbook (clean install, no data migration) all e-mail accounts where setup automatically through icloud (yes, even my non-apple accounts).
I guess and this is a rough guess that this is supposed to work with all other idevices too.

HT202667 I am ditching my non-Apple email address and want to stop using it. My husband's ID is his icloud email, why can't mine be?

I don't want to run two email addresses and want to use my icloud email address for all correspondence. Itunes keeps sending me emails to my old address and it won't let me change my Apple ID to my icloud address. My husband's is using his without any issues. Is there a way round this?

I'm afraid not. While people who started with iTools or MobileMe had their @mac.com/@me.com (and now @icloud.com) address as the ID from the start, and people who open a new Apple ID and iCloud account at the same time from the iCloud preference pane can choose to make the @icloud.com address the ID, if it's the case that your ID is a non-Apple email address you can change it to another non-Apple email address but you cannot change it to your @icloud.com address.
You can of course set up forwarding from the ID address to the @icloud.com address so that you only have to look in one place. However you should be aware that if the setup means that you can only be contacted by Apple at the @icloud.com address, then if you have a problem such as a forgotten password or a corrupted account, Apple can only contact you at an address you cannot access so it's essential to have a 'rescue address'.

You can't. iCloud uses its own email accounts @icloud.com

How can I set up an Apple email address

Hi,
I have an Apple account, when I first purchased the Mac Mini in 2009, my grandson set it up for me. Now that I am getting a lot more familiar with Apple thanks to all you ladies and gentlemen who have contributed to my learning, I now wish to have an Apple email address and do away with Google, can anyone please point me in the right direction please. I do not have ICloud on the Mac Mini, having said that, I noticed that when I purchased software from Apple or songs from Itunes, items I deleted are stored on ICloud.
As I am still running Snow Leopard, I will be upgrading to Maverick, should I wait till I do that and then set up a new Apple email address?
Thank you
Kind regards

If only a Mac you need Lion or later to get an iCloud account

How do I create a new apple email address?

Why will Apple not accept my email change? It keeps telling me that it is not a valid email address.in the mean time it keeps defaulting me back to a non valid email address that I have not used for over three years. I closed that account.

I Want to update my email address in my apple account. It will not accept my valid Email and defaults me back to a closed account, an invalid email. Frustrating. I have tried several times. Maybe I should close my apple account and purchase a Blackberry.

I can relate to your old no-longer used email address issue. I just created a new AppleID, which you apparently did to post your question!!

How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air? Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server. My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space. I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range. I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that. Any way around this problem?
I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all. Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
Thanks for your help.

IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info. There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either. So, it seems I'm back to square one.
If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
If you have Gmail it does not. Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

Hello notachav,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you are trying to utilize iCloud Keychain on an iOS device. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of steps to ensure iCloud Keychain is activated:

HT1918 I have managed to change my apple email address on my IPad but it continues to show my old user I'd (email address) when I go to ITunes or update Apps already purchased and I am unable to modify it to the new accepted Email address!

Unable to change my Apple Id fully, the Apple I'd screens still show my old Email address even though my apple email has been changed correctly? This means that when I go to ITunes or try to update my apps the old I'd (email address ) is shown and you cannot change it on these screens. How can this be resolved?

Does the updated version of your account show in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on the iPad ? If not then try logging out of the account by tapping on that id and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

How do I create a non-apple ID account for a new adminstrator for a Podcast Site Manager

http://myinfo.apple.com is inoperable. I need to create a new account for an Administrator for our Podcast Site Manager account. We have one that no one can access. Can someone assist or point me in the direction of someone at APPLE that can? I called their helpdesk and THEY couldn't even help.
Concerned...

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this: it doesn't appear to be relevant to ordinary podcasts. Is this an iTunes-U matter? - perhaps that forum would help.

How can I credit the $75 Apple Store Gift Card I got for purchasing my iPad Air to my iTunes account?

I am confused with this process. The above is my question I don't know why the process asked me for a comment.

Limnos is correct. The Apple Store gift card is used for purchasing product at the Apple Store. The iTunes gift card is used for downloading digital content. They are not interchangeable as Limnos said.

Is there ANY way to use another email address with iCloud?

Apple let you use any email address as an Apple ID, but I really want to be able to use a non-Apple email address with my iCloud mail. Just about every email service (Gmail, Hotmail, etc) allows you to send from a third-party address (once you've done a security verification) so that you don't have to change your email address when switching services. iCloud seems to have no such option. Is there any way round this, or any way to put pressure on Apple to add this basic feature???
