I have a roaming email solution for iphone AND MacBook.....

for my mac.com email i'm using outgoing port 587... works on edge.. works on my RCN home wifi (which blocks port 25).
for my business email, i'm using fastmail.fm with outgoing port 587.. works everywhere. its an IMAP setup with good Mac support. i've been on Mailstreet, but i don't need their exchange server stuff any longer and they won't let me use an outgoing port other than 25
YAY! no more SMTP switching!
fastmail.fm also has great virus protection. comes highly recommended from many Mac nerds.
hope this helps someone.

Hey... Could you just pay for the outgoing smtp and use it with a different incoming imap?

I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Macbook Pro. When I go to the iCloud site, I sign in, but when I click on any of the apps (Contacts, Calendar, etc), I get a pop up message telling to enable said app by setting up iCloud. Help?

Hi,
I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Mac. When I go to iCloud on the web, sign in, and click on one of the apps (Calendar, contacts, etc.), I get a message telling me to enable the app on my iOS device - which I've already done. Any idea why it's not working for me? Thanks!

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

Spam filtering solution for iPhone and a question.

I've read a lot of posts about spam filtering for the iPhone and have yet another solution and a question. I use SpamSieve and I am not affiliated with them in any way. The nice thing about SpamSieve is that if it is the first rule in your Mail.app rule set any mail that follows has already been filtered. All you need to do then is create another rule that redirects email to what ever mail account you choose. Since my ISP allows multiple accounts, I will simply create an iPhone@myISP account.
Now the question. Is it possible to write an applescript that will turn the redirect rule on or off so that I don't have to dig into the rules section of Mail to get this done?
Thanks

Email issues on iPhone and MacBook

Hi Y'all
I have a MacBook and an iPhone 3GS.
When I receive email while I'm out and I read it when I get home the email does not come through on the MacBook.
When I'm at home I get an email through the MacBook but it doesn't come through the iPhone.
Question...
If someone sends an email, how do I get it to appear on both my MacBook and my iPhone no matter which one I read it on first?
This is why...
Sometimes I need to print off my emails and I can't on the iPhone because my Epson printer is not an AirPrint printer. If i read it on my iPhone, then I have to forward it to myself again so I can receive it on my MacBook so I can print it out.
It would be great to be able to read my emails on my iPhone but know when I switch on my MacBook they are still all there waiting to be read again!!
Any help would be much appreciated...
Kindest Regards,
Mr Totsy

Hi
I had a look as you directed.
The third thin down said something like you said - remove from server and it was ticked. However, the option listed under it was 'after one week'.
If I read an email straight away I get them both. For example, my iPhone 'pinged' to tell me I had an email - it was from you. I am working on the computer - I went into Mail it was there - no problem - that's what I want it like.
If I am at work and I read an email, when I get home and go into Mail it doesn't come through well before the one week is up.
Should I just de-select it altogether and see if that works?
Regards,
Mr Totsy

I have seperate music labraries on my iphone and macbook pro, how can i get them together

how can i fix this?

I think I finally got rid of them. I found a Dec 2011 PhotoStream in the iPhoto list (on the left of the screen). While I couldn't delete the "folder", I could move all the photos to the trash and empty the trash. Now, let me tell you, the photos I wanted to delete were not in that PhotoStream, but it seemed to do the trick. Then I made a new photo stream and so far so good.
Next time I'll try your method. Probably works, I was just desparate to get rid of the old photos.
thanks!

Best email solution for the iPhone

After having messed with this since Friday, I've concluded that GMail is the best solution for iPhone email as of today. Let me explain.
Yahoo Push would be the best if I could specify a different reply-to address. As it stands now, having my emails come from a @yahoo.com address is not acceptable. It seems Yahoo IMAP is the only IMAP that supports push (a marketing decision apparently moreso than a technical one), so push is out until Yahoo or Apple come to their senses.
AT&T is not offering any email options through their service. I used to have mymmode email but that was years ago, and cingularme is down for some reason. Apparently AT&T wants your money for your voice business, but take your email needs elsewhere.
Enter GMail. IF you configre GMail using the GMail option on the iPhone, it forces a @gmail.com address too. However, you can use the Other option and configure using the GMail incoming server (pop.gmail.com), and you can specify the user name ([email protected]) but a different address ([email protected]).
Now, this seems to work only if you use an outgoing server OTHER than GMail's (smtp.gmail.com). During my testing I sent an email and it seemed to come from [email protected] even though I had specified a different address in the Address field. I did not test much as I have another outgoing email option.
As I have Verizon FIOS at home, I can use my outgoing.verizon.net server authenticating using my Verizon.net address. The added bonus here is that it works in either WiFi or Edge, as Verizon's server doesnt care where you are as long as you authenticate.
My email IDs are overrun with SPAM and GMails SPAM filters are excellent. this has the added bonus of cutting down on unwanted email on the iPhone.
Thoughts?

I am essentially doing the same thing for my Exchange account, which SMTP server can't be reached while off of the campus. I use AT&T's own SMTP server for wireless (cwmx.com, I think), and it doesn't change my From: address, so it shows as though I sent it from my campus's Exchange server. Very handy indeed!

When I sync my iPhone 5 to Outlook 2010, the email addresses that I have listed as Email 1 for any given contact in my iPhone will be automatically moved to Email 3 in the Outlook file. Is there a way to fix this?

iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
For example:
[email protected]
There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Does anyone have a data recovery solution for recovering photos lost after ios8 install?

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together. I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad. Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted. What gives?

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks-

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
First:
iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
6* Games consume a lot
Second: if not enough
7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
Third: Additional Optional tips
9* Wifi ask to join networks off
10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

Just a followup:
To summarize: I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
This screen shows
Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
Battery at 44%.
That would "multiply out" to
Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
Standby: over 34 hours
when the battery is fully used up.
I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

Nullriver netshare and open source tethering solution for iPhone

While Nullrivers netshare is banned and Apple and AT&T is delaying the tethering plan, how about an opensource tethering solution for iPhone?
I was thinking to create a google code project to do just that. But I heard that the possibility of tethering itself is bricked in 2.1.
Does anybody have more information on this?

I have great interest in tethering. But seems like a black art. Anybody know this art?

Im tryin to get my email verified for iMessage and FaceTime, but i don't received any emails. All info are correct (correct apple id and password). Though, i don't have any sim on my phone.

Im tryin to get my email verified for iMessage and FaceTime, but i don't received any emails. All info are correct (correct apple id and password). Though, i don't have any sim on my phone.

You can take a look at this support document for troubleshooting iMessage and FaceTime activation. If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
I believe with the iPhone, you need to have a SIM installed, since the activation sends an international SMS to servers in the UK. Check to see what that support document states.
