How to sync mail app settings across multiple devices?

Hi all,
I've been using an iPad Air for a while now, and I have multiple email accounts with various settings associated to them (Signatures etc.) on it. I just bought a new iphone 6, and I want all my mail settings and accounts exactly in my iphone as well. Is there any way to do that or will I have to manually configure email accounts?
Regards,
Hanit Banga

Good day Hanit,
One way to do what you want would be to back up your iPad and restore that backup to your new iPhone. All of the mail accounts that exist in the iPad would become part of the iPhone. See this article -
Get help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support
In particular the section titled Can I restore my iPhone or iPod touch using a backup made from my iPad?
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,
Brett L

How do I set up imessage across multiple devices

I am trying to link my phone mobile number and my apple ID to the same imessage account, so I can text across multiple devices.

In addition to Amy's comment, set the Caller ID on your phone to the same email address that is associated with your apple ID (and which should be used on iMessage on your other devices). This way the messages will stay synced across all devices.

How to sync Mail app with my Palm ?

Hello all,
Anybody knows if there is a way of synching the emails in my Palm with the emails in the Maill app, and also the other way around?
This is because I use Gmail, and there is no option to leave the messages untouched in the server so that I can download them by POP in 2 different devices.
When I'm at home I like to use my Mac to check and write e-mails, but when I'm out I use my Palm to do it.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Palm Tungsten C

This is because I use Gmail, and there is no option to leave
the messages untouched in the server so that I can download
them by POP in 2 different devices.
Not sure about the Palm software but the Mail.app includes a setting for a POP type account to remove or not remove messages from the server when downloaded.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message:".
The Palm software used to access a POP type account should include the same.
A Google search is your friend. When doing a search with "Palm sync with Mail.app", I found the following:

HT1386 Wi Fi Sync - Keeping Apps updated on multiple devices

Should you be able to keep your apps updated in iTunes (11.0) and have them update your devices when they wi fi sync? If so, this doesn't seem to be working for me.

wifi sync doesn't work in any case..its too flaky.

Is there any way that I can share an in-app purchase over multiple devices even if they are under the same iTunes account?

So there are several iOS devices in my family and on one of our iPads we have purchased an in-app purchase. I also have the same app on another iPad and would like to also have access to that in-app purchase. Both of these devices are under the same iTunes account so is there a way to share this in-app purchase across multiple devices?

You can check here > iTunes Store: About In-App Purchases
But I don't think this is possible.

How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

Hi there,
My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent). My husband and I each have one as well. We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices. Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's. When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)? Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices? I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress. We all share one itunes account.
Thanks so much!
(If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

We all share one itunes account.
This would be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes by ...
You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ? delete the game from the current apple id. Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
Look into family sharing:

Unable to sync mail accounts to Outlook because email accounts are in use by iPhone. How to close mail account settings on iPhone.

unable to sync mail accounts to Outlook because email accounts are in use by iPhone. How to close mail account settings on iPhone.

I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

Sync Mail Account Settings

Hi All,
I have two machines:
MacPro OS 10.7.2
MacBookPro OS 10.7.2
I am using iCloud to sync info between them.
Me.com used to allow you to syncronize mail account settings, and iCloud does not, so I have two questions:
1. Is there anyway to sync mail account settings between two computers?
2. If not, can you export a file that contains the settings from one computer to import it into another?
Thanks for you time!
Rob

Hi Illaas,
Thanks for your response.
You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
Thanks for your input.

Sync Thunderbird across multiple devices

Can anyone tell me how to sync my Thunderbird email accounts across multiple devices? I've got this weird situation where incoming emails are showing up on one device but not another, and the contents of the inboxes are different across iMac; Macbook; iPad and iPhone. I'm using IMAP but just can't get the inboxes to look the same across each device. I use this account for work so it's very frustrating.

I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

How to transfer mail.app to new MBP?

Is there a way I can transfer my Mail.app settings and messages to my new MBP without having to migrate all of my data to the new machine?
Looking fwd to your responses.

If you are having issues with:

then post these as well instead of clogging up the My Settings with issues rather than pertinent info about your MPB.

Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.
