How to keep mail attachments synced across iPhone and Mac?

Hardware: iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1, MacBook Pro 10.7.2.
Software: Mail
Services: Yahoo mail
Issue: If I view an email on my phone without opening the attachment, the same email then appears on my Mac but without the attachment. The attachment is still present if I log on to Yahoo webmail.
This issue is causing me a lot of hassle and I risk missing important work related attachments when these are not flagged in the email message.
Is there a fix?

Hi there,
I have the similar problem and I was hoping that a solution has been derived by now.
Actually, already using iPhone, recently switched from PC to iMac and have a small issue with Mail that whenever I open any emails on my iPhone it marks the same email on iMac as "Read" and vice versa.
I need to keep emails on both devices as "UNREAD" until I open the email on that particular device. I do not want to automatically mark (sync) the email on iMac which I open on iPhone and vice versa.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers!

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • How do I stop MacBook syncing with iPhone and iPad mini

    My MacBook automatically starts to sync iPhone and iPad when I open iTunes. I only want to sync with my iMac, but MacBook seems to override what I want as default for syncing. I have under preferences device ticked box to prevent syncing but it makes no difference.
    Any help would be appreciated

    On the PC from the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    Make sure Mail is selected.
    On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Mail is switched ON.

  • Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

    A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
    How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync? 
    On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
    On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
    iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
    My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

    Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.

  • My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

    Hi
    The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud?  If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync.  Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync.  They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

  • Can sync my iPhone and mac both ways?

    i want to be ablet o deleate music off my iphone and not have it re scync when I plug it back in to my mac,
    i wouldnt mind if it got delteate of my mac was well.

    Hi Joshbrex,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Syncing is done from the computer to the iPhone, not the other way around.  The only exception to that is you can transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.  So your best bet is to update your iTunes library and then sync what you want to your iPhone.   I'll include some information for you below:

  • Handoff not working for Mail or Messages between iPhone and Mac

    I just installed Yosemite on my rMBP and wanted to try out the cool new handoff feature, but unfortunately it's not so cool because it doesn't work.  When I start creating a new message in Mail or Messages I get the handoff icon in the dock on the left side, and when I click it the appropriate application starts and a new message appears, but the contents that I entered into the iPhone are missing.  In fact, the Mail message just says it's "Loading" (with the spinning indicator) forever and I can't use or close that window.
    I've tried rebooting both the mac and the iPhone, and tried signing out of iCloud and back in, but no luck.  Any other ideas?  Why doesn't this "just work"?

    An update on this.  Mail handoff has started working, although I don't know why.  I'm now able to continue typing on the mac where I left off on the phone.
    However, iMessage handoff has stopped working altogether.  The icon sometimes appears in the bottom left of the screen, but when I click it nothing happens.  This is still happening after upgrading to iOS 8.1.

  • Looking for app to store account numbers in that syncs with iphone and mac

    Hi all, I have tons of random work information, account info, logins, etc., that I would like to keep on my mac and sync to my iphone. But I would like to have them protected in some fashion.
    Anyone have any recommendations?

    I recently purchased the mSecure app for the same purpose but cannot get it to sync with the desktop version via wifi as it is supposed to do. Support response from mSecure has been good but still no luck syncing. All of these types of apps require syncing via wi-fi but not much good if it doesn't work. I've tried all of the suggested work-arounds to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm trying to sync to a Windows laptop. I'm reluctant to use the same type of apps that back up to an online storage site for security purposes.

  • Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

    Hello.
    I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
    In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
    In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
    Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
    No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

    so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

  • Outlook no longer syncing with iPhone and Mac??

    I was formerly syncing Outlook with iPhone just fine on my Mac...now it's not working!!  I think I had to do something via iCal.  Whatever it was it's not working and need help ASAP!  (no need for iCloud and know that does not work!!!)

    I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

  • Weather and stocks not in sync on iPhone and Mac

    Dear community,
    I had my Mac OSX 10.10 in sync with my old iPhone 4S (iOS 8) regarding the inbuilt weather and stocks app.
    Now I've got a new iPhone 6, and the sync connection is lost. No new weather locations or stocks are synced from Mac to iPhone or vice versa.
    Of course I am logged in on both devices with the same iCloud account. Any idea?
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto Event/Album syncing across iPad and Mac.

    Does the new iPhoto allow me to delete photos on my iPad and have that reflected on my Mac? I essentially want to manage my iPhoto events/albums on my iPad rather than having to sit at my mac for hours. Thanks very much for your help.

    You question might better be served in the iPhoto For iOS community where everyone there probably has iPhoto on their iPad.  Here there's no assuance anyone has an iPad with iPhoto.

  • How Does The Playcount Sync Across iTunes and Multiple iPhones/iPods?

    Okay, this is more of a lazy question, because I don't feel like investigating myself...
    So I have an iPhone with all of my music on it. I also have an iTouch with all of my music. Occasionally I will play music on my iPhone, but primarily it's only used as an iPod when I'm driving and can plug it in.
    However, the iTouch is being used more and more to play music on the go.
    Both have the exact same library on them. They also have three smart playlists (which yes, I know they only update when synced with iTunes, since something is goofy with the smart lists) which rely on the playcount.
    I was wondering how the playcount works when synced across the iPhone to and from the iTouch and iTunes.
    Here's what I'm asking....
    I have songs A, B, C and D.
    On the iTouch, I play song A 5 times.
    On the iPhone, I play song B 5 times.
    On BOTH, I play song C 5 times.
    On my computer, I play song D 5 times.
    Now, how are they all going to sync? If I plug the iTouch in first, will it show that I played song A and C 5 times, and iTunes will update song D on the iTouch, but when I plug in the iPhone, it'll show that I didn't play song A, so it'll modify the playlist? Or when I sync the iPhone, will it update song C twice, one for the iTouch, one for the iPhone, so it'll show that I played it 10 times (correct)? Or will it only see that song C was played on one device?
    My main reason is that I want to know how I should expect my smart lists to function when being spread out over three devices...

    Play counts are updated in iTunes when you sync the device, and should then propagate. So, for song A which was played only on the iPod Touch, after those 5 plays if you sync the iPod Touch that will change the iTunes count to 5, then if you sync the iPhone after that, song A will have a play count of 5 for the iPhone's smart playlist (since syncing the iPhone will update the smart playlist at that time).

  • How can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my new macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.

    Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.
    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?
