HT204150 additional email contacts to iPad and iTouch
My Mac laptop has two email accounts. Both accounts are set up to be received on an iPad and iTouch without any problems, but only one email's contacts list is available. How do I sync both contacts lists? I have synced through iTunes and the "info" tab. It does not provide a checkbox. It says next to "sync contacts" that my contacts are being synced with my iPod touch over the air from iCloud.
If they are, it's only from the one account, not both email accounts.
You should be able to merge the contacts from the PC with the contacts on the iPad when you sync this information from the info tab of iTunes. You have to import his contacts into an address book on the PC (sorry, I'm not a Windows user) and then you can sync them from that address book into the contacts app on the iPad.
This information was copied from the website linked below.
Additional Information
The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you'll be asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP), and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
Learn more about syncing your device with your computer or see the user's guide.

HT204150 Lost my contact on iPad and not receiving emails

I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID. It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child. But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID. Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one. Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it? Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?
"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.

My devices iphone, ipad and itouch Cannot connect to itunes store?
My iphone, ipad and itouch are not able to get into itunes store. It says cannot connect to itunes store.
This started happening when I had to change my apple user id to an email address. This is what has been causing problems with others. I called apple tech support & received help fixing it before, but it didn't permanently correct the problems. I had to go through all these steps that took over 45 minutes. Can't remember the steps so I will be on the phone with them again to try & resolve

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

When I try to send email from my iPad and iPhone it says that I have the wrong username and/or password, but I know they are correct. Can someone help me?
"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done. -
I have iPad3, iPhone3GS and iTouch all set up with latest software. I sync with a Sony VAIO and the sync is fine and complete with the iPad and iTouch. The iPhone refuses to allow syncing of Outlook Notes from laptop to iPhone. On both other devices the sync of Outlook Notes and everything else works fine. I have follwed other blog suggestions and erased/added accounts, checked that there are not any Notes with no data or headings and all the other ideas but to no avail. The difficulty is only with Notes syncing to the iPhone, works fine with iPad and iTouch.
What do I do next ?The apple store fixed it for me. They basically said I had too many "calendar" sources checked. They eliminated all but the calendar "from my PC". When I open the iPhone calendar, and click on the upper left calendar button, only one calendar shows up (from my PC). iCloud calendar is off, google calendar off, etc.

I have a macbook pro and an iphone. I sync them via the itunes program on my macbook . My wife just bought an iphone and an ipad. she has video and music on her iphone that she wants to put on her ipad. can she c onnect her iphone to her ipad and sync via her itunes accnt on her ipad? the reason i ask is , when she connects her iphone to my macbook, logs into her itunes accnt, the music library and photo collection is that from my itunes, and she doesnt want that on her phone or ipad. can one macbook have 2 different itunes programs with different libraries? I guess my question is how can my wife back up her video and music from her iphone on my macbook in itunes, then put that data on her ipad...without getting any of my data?
1. No, she cannot connect her iPhone to her iPad to sync music. It has to go through iTunes.
2. You can set up two accounts on your MacBook Pro. When she logs into the MBP with her name and password, she has her own library. She can back up her iPhone and iPad to that Library. Anything she bought from iTunes will still be authorized for that computer. Besides, she can have her own privacy that way. -
my Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?
how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.
It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

Syncing emails across iPhone, iPad and macbook pro
Can you sync emails across iphone, ipad and macbook pro, so if you delete from one it deletes on all? If you write an email on one it shows up on all? If you store something in a folder or flad something it shows up on all?
ThanksSyncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

i sent an email from my ipad and now cant find it. Where did the email go after I hit send?
Did you try charging it for at least 15 minutes, then turning it on and entering the passcode? If it won't turn on after charging, try resetting ti by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
