Sync Mail between multiple devices

Can anyone help? I own a MacBook Pro, an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad. I have managed to sync mail between the iPhone and the iPad using Microsoft exchange, so that if I delete an e-mail on the phone or the iPad then it is deleted on the other.
However I can't sync the two computers in the same way, can anyone help and tell me how to sync Mail across all 4 units?
(I used Exchange because the e-mail account is a Hotmail account and I was told, that's the only way I can do it).
Regards and thanks in advance.
Colin

Microsoft publish the settings needed for Hotmail Imap, they work, use them.
They are:
For incoming connections:
Server address: "imap-mail.outlook.com"
Server port: "993"
Encryption type: "SSL"
For outgoing connections:
Server address: "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
Server port: "587"
Encryption type: "TLS" ("SSL" can be used if TLS is not an option)

How to sync contacts across multiple devices

I have a iPhone, iMac and iPad that I am having trouble keeping my contacts in sync!
Some contacts do not appear across all devices and others appear duplicated on one or more device.
After much checking of the settings and trying to merge contacts, I have still not managed to sort the problem.
David

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.

Syncing Mail Between Multiple Devices?

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to get back into the groove of things with my new Mac, however I'm experiecing one annoying problem.
I've set up MacMail to my email accounts, but when I read and/or delete them on my computer, it doesn't regiester anywhere else.
So if I look at my phone, all the messages I had deleted earlier still remain. Same if I log onto the website which hosts the email (Gmail/Outlook).
Is there a preference option I'm overlooking, or some way I can set it up so that actions on one device will carry over to the others?
Thanks.

From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
Have you tried setting the account up as an Exchange account?
otherwise.....manual setup would be
Apps that support IMAP and SMTP
If your email app doesn’t support Exchange ActiveSync, it might use IMAP. Unlike POP, which only syncs your inbox, IMAP syncs all your email folders.
Use the following settings in your email app.
Incoming (IMAP) Server
Server address: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encrypted Connection: SSL
Outgoing (SMTP) Server
Server address: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes
Encrypted Connection: TLS
User name: Your email address
Password: Your password
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp-mail.com:"email address"
won't work as shown above

HT3228 Mail on multiple devices. Need to sync action for messages.

I get mail on multiple devices. I find myself doing everything (delete, move, read ) on each device for each message. I need all to sync. In other words if I delete a message when reading mail on my iPhone, if I then look at mail on my iPad the message should not appear.

Is your email account POP3 or IMAP? If POP3, does your provider
support IMAP? An IMAP account will do what you want, POP3 does
not.
The problem you have and the resolution are a function of the type of
email account you are using and not the device you connect with. Set
your email up as IMAP (if possible) and your problem will go away.
If you are using a POP3 account and cannot set it up as IMAP because
the provider does not offer IMAP, consider setting that account to
automatically forward all email to an IMAP account (Gmail is one, there
are many others) and work from the IMAP account. You should set the
POP3 account to automatically delete the emails after forwarding.

How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
(Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

There's a different method.
1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
done.

Sync mail on iOS devices and a PC with icloud

Is it possible to sync mail on iOS devices and a PC with icloud such that when a mail is deleted on one device it is deleted on all devices?

You should be able to use iCloud mail on your Mac, however you will have to enter the settings manually. Unfortunately you will not be able to use the other features of iCloud for which lion is required. (calendars, contacts etc)

HT1495 how can i sync aps on multiple devices on one computer

Trying to use multiple devices on same computer but don't want the devices to have all the same aps. how can i seperate that without having to check the aps i want each time a sync?

Assuming the photos are in an iPhoto Library on the Air and you want to import them into your iPhoto Library on your Powermac there is an application that can copy all photos in the Air library that are not in your Powermac library into your Powermac library. However, no keywords or other metadeata willl be brought over with them and they will come over in a new event each time you run it. Take a look at: Sync iPhoto libraries | SyncPhotos (formerly iPhotoSync) | Haystack Software.
There's another application, iPhoto Library Manager, that will let you copy events or albums from the Air library to the Powermac library. However, you will have to select the events/albums you want to copy. It's not automatic. This method will copy keywords and other metadata along with the photos.

How to sync ical with multiple apple devices and android?

Does anybody have use an android phone in addition to apple devices, and have you figured out how to sync ical with all? (I know there are other calendars that can be used by all, but it means a lot to my husband to stay with ical.)

I tried Yahoo in the past but had trouble with duplicate entries. However, this was a while ago before Yahoo updated their site and this was with syncing to a Windows computer with Outlook in addition to a Mac so my results might not be typical. Yahoo's worth a shot, but my experience with Yahoo is why I use Google Calendar.
Beyond that, I don't know of any other "free" services. There are many other hosted calendar sites that could work, but you'd pay something like $5-$20 per month, which is comparable to MobileMe.

Syncing mail on multiple divices

Hi All,
Can I sync my mail "sent" boxes across multiple devices for non "iCloud" email addresses? I have a business email account and I would love to be able to see mail sent from my laptop, in my desktop computer's "sent" mail box. Is this possible?

You can't do this using iCloud. iCloud works with iCloud addresses (@mac.com, @me.com & @icloud.com) only.
If your business email account uses IMAP or Microsoft Exchange you can do what you want. Contact your email provider or IT person to find out how to configure the account using IMAP or Exchange.

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.

E-mails on multiple devices

I receive e-mails on both my iPhone and iPad, however I must delete an e-mail on each device. Is there a way to delete an e-mail on one device and it is automatically deleted on the other device? Prior to a recent iPhone update, this worked perfectly, including deleted e-mails not appearing in my Outlook 2007 Inbox.

You would need IMAP access to your email to do what you want to do (sync email when using multiple devices). Comcast does not support IMAP accounts only POP. You could, as a work around, only access your email using their webmail interface from all devices. Then delete the email from webmail, which Comcast provides. The deleted email will not show up when you access webmail from another device. When using webmail your emails are not downloaded to your device but remain on the server so all devices can view the emails until deleted by you.
