HT1694 how do you synchronize hotmail across all apple devices

We utilize an Imac, Mc Book Air and iphone and want to bring hotmail email accounts across devices into sync.. any wisdom would be appreciated

It is not hard.  I can tell you for setting up Outlook 2011 (Outlook for Mac).  Go to accounts and add a new account. The first step is to type in your email.  DO NOT TYPE IN YOUR HOTMAIL OR OUTLOOK.COM EMAIL. Type in a dummy address like [email protected]  By doing this you will get the option to set up an IMAP account otherwise Outlook will force you to use POP which does not allow syncing across devices like IMAP. 
Now enter the following under your settings:
-Your real hotmail outlook.com email address
-your hotmail or outlook.com password
-for incoming server: imap-mail.outlook.com
---Incoming server port: 993 (you have to check the box "override default port" to change this
---Use SSL (make sure it is checked)
-Outgoing server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
--outgoing server port: 587
--use SSL to connect (make sure it is checked)
It is a similar process for setting up OS X Mail.  Use a dummy email to bypass the  automatic detection and then use the settings above.  I confirm IMAP works for hotmail in both Outlook 2011 and Mail v.7. 
On the iPhone I think you can actually just select Hotmail as an email account type and it will configure it automatically. Something to do with Hotmail supporting active sync with IOS devices but not desktops.

  • Why can't you use airdrop between all apple devices?!just got the iPad air, and was hoping to have the ability to airdrop images from the mac to the iPad....and you can't do that?! c'mon apple!!Whats going on?!

    Is there any way to use Airdrop between Imac and Ipad air?
    I cant quite believe thatthe two are not interlinked!!? or am i missing something? i can pick up iphone on the ipad, ipad on the iphone but pick neither up on the imac or the imac on the ipad or iphone. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    AirDop on the Mac is a different tech than AirDrop on the iPhone and iPad.  At this time, there is no interaction between thew different AirDrops.
    It is a little confusing that they are called the same, but are in fact different.
    Why Apple did this, I can't say.  Maybe in the future it will be possible.

  • How to sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

    How do I sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

    Simple solution to imessage not syncing....
    I did it and I hope this solves your problems too!! My wife's devices would NOT sync imessages the way we think iMessage should sync intuitively. I figured it out and it's now working perfect from what I can tell.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and make sure under phone numbers you have your cell phone number filled out! I deleted prior threads before testing (not sure if that was necessary) but now it's working like a charm. (might take a second to ping the phone number to the imessage server)

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

  • Captivate 7.  How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

    New to Captivate.  When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides.  all the audio is on the first slide.  How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

    @parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
    @[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
    So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
    One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
    Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
    Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

  • How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

    How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

    In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

  • How do you dynamically check if all member children are missing?

    Hi All,
    How do you dynamically check if all member children are missing?
    e.g. the below line does not work because you cannot directly use member sets in an IF statement.
    IF ((@CHILDREN ("Profit")==#MISSING))
    If I explicitly list all children in the IF statement, it will work, but there is alot of hardcoding.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi All,
    We have a BSO app and we need to query the account without aggregating the data..
    We have 4 accounts sitting under Profit:
    Profit
         A001
         A002
         A003
         A004
    @SUM (@DESCENDANTS ("Profit")) works fine, but we also need to sum the accounts for the parent member of the current business that is evaluated, I have tried @SUM (@DESCENDANTS ("Profit")->@PARENT ("Business")) but this does not work.
    This however works...
    @SUM(
    @PARENTVAL("Business","A001"),
    @PARENTVAL("Business","A002"),
    @PARENTVAL("Business","A003"),
    @PARENTVAL("Business","A004"))
    Is there a dynamic method to add the parent values together?
    Cheers,

  • HT201342 HOW DO I SYNK MY SENT EMAILS ACROSS ALL MY DEVICES

    HELLO.
    I'M NEW HERE.
    I WOULD LIKE TO SYNK MY SENT EMAILS ACROSS ALL MY DEVICES.
    I HAVE 4 DEVICES AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRACK OF WHICH DEVICE I USED TO RESPOND TO AN E-MAIL.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Firstly please don't post in capitals: it comes over as shouting and IS CONSIDERED RUDE (see what I mean ).
    iCloud handles its own email: it has no relationship whatever with any other email service. You can set other email services up separately in the Mail app and application on your devices and Macs, but you will only get the result you want if they are IMAP services (where, as with iCloud, the emails reside on the server and are read from there by the various devices). Many services are POP, where accessing an email results in its being downloaded to the device and usually removed from the server, and either way round sent emails remain only on the device which sent them.
    If Rogers are providing you with a POP service you should ask whether they can provide an IMAP one. If not your only option would be to find another email service which can (or use iCloud).
    You could, by the way, Bcc all sent messages to your iCloud address - they would of course turn up in the Inbox but they would be accessible on all devices.

  • How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    Thanks for your answer. It certainly seemed that since there was no longer a control-click option in Photos for a mounted device that a hot dismount or eject would be OK. Should there be any caveats to the user who selected a Finder option not to show Hard disks, External discs or CDs DVDs and iPods--or is this still uniformly true across all devices (old iPads, Firewire, etc.)?
    This is only true for devices that are not accessible in the Finder. For iPhones, iPads, newer iPods. If a device shows up in Disk Utility as a mounted disk, you have to eject it properly.
    But the newer iOS devices are not mounted as a disk, that a user can write to or eject.
    For example, I just connected my iPhone 5s. It shows in Photos and iTunes in the sidebar, but Disk Utility does not show it as a mounted device, so there is no way to eject it.
