You can use your gmail account within the native Mail app using IMAP
Make sure you've enabled IMAP in your main Gmail settings
Open the Settings app on your device
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account...
Tap Gmail
Enter your account information, being sure to use your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com'
Tap Next

I need to transfer a PDF file to my iPad.
I need to transfer a PDF file to my iPad (version 1.0) Normally I would use Dropbox or just email the file, but I don't have access to wifi in this remote location. I tried sending the file using Bluetooth but it would not send. Any one know how to solve this problem
iTunes -> iPad (while plugged) -> Apps (from menu on top) -> go to the lowest part of the page, here a bunch of iPd apps capable of receiving files should be present (e.g. Goodreader and CHMate). Pick one and press the 'Add...' button.
Cheers. -
Many of us know Outlook mails (pst files) can be stored using a PST Mail app to review the old mails when needed on an iPad. I am considering a switch to Mac OS. But I am wondering if the same is possible. What would be the file format of the emails on a Mac OS and the app equivalent of the PST Mail app? Thanks for helping me out. Durai

Thanks for your response and yes I understand what you are saying. Maybe you could explain why "email users" hate HTML email with a passion.
These tend to be technical users who have a more purist attitude about email. They prefer that email be text-only, and consider HTML formatting to be superfluous for most messages. And I do think they have a point. If you have 100 plain-text emails and 100 HTML emails, you will notice that the HTML emails take up noticeably more disk space. And if the HTML email senders have loaded down their default emails with background images, signatures with corporate logos and winmail.dat attachments and all manner of embedded ornamentation, and (I never even thought people went this far) animations, then a simple email reply like "Thanks! I'll see you this evening," ends up carrying an tremendous additional amount of file size and network bandwidth overhead just to carry those six words. It not only means more disk space consumed, but it ripples all through the system: More space is required for backing up and archiving your emails, plus more mail server space and network bandwidth are consumed per message. Purists see this as an incredible waste of resources.
The message body of at text email can simply be "Thanks! I'll see you this evening."
The HTML version, at a bare minimum, must be
{html}
{p}"Thanks! I'll see you this evening."{/p}
{/html}
(replaced angle brackets with curly brackets so Apple Forums won't try and format it)
Already that's almost double the amount of characters required to send the message, just to format it in HTML. And that's if no fonts, styles, graphics, or media have been applied. If they are, the number of actual characters sent balloons dramatically.
I'm in the middle. I don't hate HTML email, I'll even turn it on when I think formatting will help my message. But I like to use disk space efficiently, so I've set plain text as my default for sending messages. -
Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.
Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email? I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later. ANy fix. Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

Hi All
I've recorded some piano in GB on my new laptop (MBPro) but need to edit it in Logic. Since I'm running LogicPro7 (on my iMac upstairs) it won't open' the file, as it says it's created by a newer version of Logic.
So I need to save the midi file out of GB, how do I do that?
Thanks
GInteresting, would you know what type of I should search for?
I have to say, it seems like a pretty basic requirement.

Can't Open (Sign In) to Mail App with "work account"
First, I absolutely hate Microsoft Accounts and everything they imply. With that in mind, everything I do with Windows 8.1 I try to avoid or hack around Microsoft Accounts.
Following the instructions provided in the this technet blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/pauljones/archive/2013/10/07/windows-8-1-mail-app-without-microsoft-account.aspx
I had hoped to gain access to the Mail App without a Microsoft Account.
Apparently, even this "fix" was snake oil.
First let me say, it's not that I can't sign into the Mail App. I can't open it. The entrance to the Mail App is purposefully blocked by the need for a Microsoft Account or some mysterious "Sign in with your work account".
The actual details needed to for that "work account" (is it an "Enterprise Account"??) are not documented and there is no way around it.
The instructions that Microsoft does provide tell me to swipe and open up settings... then add an account--like IMAP. That is impossible to perform, because the mail app is not open. The settings for the Mail App are not available and there is no "account"
button to press yet.
So my question is simple. How do I fake the Mail App into thinking there is some "work account" that will open the front door and let me configure basic IMAP email, etc. You know, like in the old simple way that work for thirty years before the
brown's at microsoft decided to change it.How do I fake the Mail App into thinking there is some "work account" that will open the front door and let me configure basic IMAP email, etc. You know, like in the old simple way that work for thirty years before the brown's at microsoft decided

My best answer would be to suggest you use Thunderbird Email client.
However I have had success with a combination of the following Group Policy settings
Run the program "gpedit" (gpedit.msc) and after making the changes you can run "gpupdate /force" to apply the changes to the current logged in user, or simply restart the computer.
You can totally disable the use of Microsoft Accounts and the Windows Store, while still allowing users to make used of already installed Windows Store Apps.
NB: If you want to use any Windows Store Apps, install the apps before disabling Windows Store.
You can still enable the automatic updating of Windows Store Apps, even when the Windows Store is disabled.
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\"Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts" to "Users can't add or log on with Microsoft accounts"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communications Management\Internet Communications settings\"Turn off access to the Store" to "Disabled"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\App runtime\"Allow Microsoft accounts to be optional" to "Enabled" (NB: allows the use of Windows Store apps even when the use of a Microsoft Account is disabled, this setting will be
required if you want to use the Mail App)
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off the Store application" to "Enabled"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates" to "Enabled"
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off Automatic Download of updates on Win8 machines" to "Enabled"
If you want to disable Syncing of data, see;
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Sync your settings\"Do not sync passwords"
You may have to try connecting with few different email accounts, I was about to succeed with a Exchange account. -
Deleting AD users vs Disabling. What is the difference? If an account is disabled, can it still be setup for mail forwarding to another user? If an account is deleted, what files get deleted? Thanks.
Hi,
Disable Users: Nobody can log in to the mailbox, but the data is safe and it can receive email. Once it is enabled, it is back to normal.
Delete Users: when the user is deleted all the services are removed and all data is erased. The user is deleted from our Active Directory. If you create a user with the same Name and Emial address again, no data or services are recovered.
If you disable a user, the Active Directory object remains untouched together with the mailbox data and properties, but you will not be able to access any mailbox data.
If you delete a user, the Active Directory object is removed together with all data and properties of the user.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Blair Deng

Hi,
I have strange situation on my iphone. Mail received messages until last friday 19:38. Everything after that can not be viewed.
I have tried, removing account, and adding it again. - Nothing.
I have updated iphone to 4.3.3. - still the same
I have added another gmail account, and it work just fine.
If gmail work on my imac, why not on iphone 4? Why until that date, and for just that account?
I wrote also to google 10 minutes ago and waiting for someone to reply.
Thank's for help!to those who may have this same problem, there are two different solutions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=546338
one is to make some changes to the gmail POP account settings on the iphone and computer, and the other is to set up gmail as POP on the iphone and IMAP on the computer. hope this is helpful for you! -
I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks
LindaHi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?PBN1 wrote:

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off. -
How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?
Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*
Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier. -
I keep attempting to make a in app purchase and it keeps saying payment declined although I have plenty of funds when I check my account. What can I do?
I assume that you are trying to use a debit card ? If it is then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management -
I have a custom template. When I edit it and try to save it asks me to name it and then I end up with an additional custom template. How do I edit the template and save the changes without creating another template?
Hi Atrec,
If you don't need your old custom template, save your changes with the same template name. It will tell you that this template exists and will ask you Replace? Say yes (if you do want to replace the old with the new!)
To delete unwanted templates, go to Finder > Menu > Go and press the option key. Your Library will show in the Go Menu. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
Delete any unwanted template by dragging it to the Trash or click on it then command-delete.
Having gone to all that trouble to find My Templates folder, right click (or control click) on it and Make Alias. Drag the Alias to any convenient place for a quick way to get back to that folder.
Regards,
Ian.
