ICloud mail on iPad, iPhone, and iMac - it disappears
I've seen a lot of people asking about this, but no solutions that suit my version of the issue.
I have an iPad 2, iPhone 4s, and an iMac that's 1 year old, exactly. All are set up for iCloud mail, and I'm using Entourage as the mail client on the iMac. I don't expect anyone here to debug Entourage for me, but I did follow the instructions on apple.com for setting up iCloud on a mail client like Entourage, as IMAP, etc.
What happens is, I get emails on the phone and the iPad, but I don't 100% trust that I'm getting them all. But, if I pull the IMAP mail in Entourage, the email shows up and then some of it (not all of it) disappears. The phone, the ipad, and Entourage all end up in sync, but missing the same emails for no reason. There is no setting on the phone or ipad to 'move' or 'copy' emails after they are read. And I don't have any rules or settings in Entourage to do anything like that, either. I assume this has something to do with IMAP mail-handling that is unfamiliar to me, but I'm not sure what it would be. There is no setting anywhere to say, 'just leave the mail where it is', or 'move the mail somewhere else'.
On the iPad, i can't even check webmail for iCloud, because it won't do anything but show me a page withe 'setup, install find my iphone, or install find my friends' as options. No login, no logout, no option to view mail or docs or anything else.
All of this seems like it can't be normal or intended behavior. I really don't trust iCloud email anymore, and maybe the only answer is to not use Entourage. But I use that to pull gmail, yahoo, aol, and other POP mail accounts, so having to open 'Mail' just to read my mac.com mail seems like an unnecessary nuisance.
Any ideas?
So, I've noticed that in Entourage, the messages don't 'disappear'. They are moved to the normal Inbox and deleted from the new Inbox that was created when I set up the new IMAP account. If I set preferences to only *mark* the messages rather than 'delete' them, then they stay in the IMAP Inbox with red 'x' marks next to them, and they show up in the normal Inbox, marked as 'read'.
However, once that happens, and I don't know why it happens, then the messages are deleted from the iPad and iPhone immediately, and they're not moved anywhere else; just deleted from those devices.
Again, the iPad won't let me view webmail, but at least I know what's happening in Entourage.

Is it possible to have a joint iCloud account on iPad & iPhone and have seperate messaging?
Hi,
I have an iPad (wi-fi only) and an iPhone. They both share the same iTunes account so that apps / music are available on both devices but I currently have seperate iCloud accounts for them.
What i want to know though is..... is it possible to have them on the same iCloud account for syncing between devices but to have the messaging to still be seperate? i.e. i don't want to see messages sent to my iPhone on the iPad and vice versa.
Currently in the settings for iMessage the iPhone has it's iCloud e-mail address in there and the iPad has it's icloud e-mail address in there so if they are both on the same iCloud account does that mean i lose the ability to keep the messaging seperate? And if it doesn't how do i need to set things up so as to keep messaging seperate for each device?
I hope that all makes sense???
Thanks
David.What i want to know though is..... is it possible to have them on the same iCloud account for syncing between devices but to have the messaging to still be seperate? i.e. i don't want to see messages sent to my iPhone on the iPad and vice versa.
Yes, you can use the same iCloud and separate iMessage and FaceTime by using your second ID for these services. -
Why does Apple Bluetooth not work? iPad iPhone and iMac
Quick post, Bluetooth won't work on my new ipad air, trying to connect to sound bar, works on all other non apple devices!?
Have iMac, ipad 2, ipad air and iPhone, non of the apple devices have ever worked properly when trying to use Bluetooth?
Can someone help, already tried apples troubleshooting, no joy!
Apple seriously get on this, your products are way too expensive for basic features not to be working!?There are various issues, both accessing this forum using iDevices as well as even on the PC/Mac side. The issues seems to be the fault of the forum software itself (Jive software) so there's not much that can be done about it other than wait for fixes (which we've been doing for quite awhile now).

Deleting email on iPad, iPhone and IMac questions
Our current settings have deleted email removed after 1 day and remove from server is set at never.
If we change the settings to remove from the server on the iPad and iPhone, will we loose it on the IMac or will it still be available?
We get a lot of duplicate emails to delete and don't want to use ICloud at all until we feel our info is safe.
Thank you for your help!Multiple devices on a pop account are slow death. I finally dumped Comcast and a 20 yr e mail address over the issue.
If you delete from server, and the Mac has not yet gone and gotten the message, it is gone. The only way to manage mail across multiple devices is to use an I map account. You can read, delete, save and archive messages from any of the devices, and the action is replicated across all.
( the cloud is not the answer, although, in a broad sense, I map is all ready in the cloud....)
See if your ISP offers both impa and pop options. If so, all you need to do is flip your account to iMac. If not, then forever you will be getting and deleting duplicate copies of the same messages, and if you start deleting from the server, you will begin to lose stuff you thought you wanted to keep.
Keep in kind that the pad will delete stuff out of your inbox when you reach the limit on the number of items you specified in settings. -

As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

I do not receive e-mail on my iMac.....all other devices incl ipad, iphone, and macbook receive e-mail.
Please read the Mail Setup Assistant and trouble shoot by clicking the I want to Verify an Exisiting Account and double check your settings. If they are correct then erase the ones input and re-input them.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.
Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails. -
Help with Mobileme, iCloud, iPad, iPhone and MS Outlook 2010
Hello,
WHAT I HAVE NOW
I'm in a bit of mess and don't want to proceed until I can get some answers. I have an iPad, iPhone and a PC (Windows 7). I have a mobileme account also. I also have iCloud Control Panel installed on my PC and recently bought MS Outlook 2010 to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and get this whole synching thing under control. Everything has been updated to the latest versions for iCloud.
I have an att.net email account (ran by Yahoo Pop3), live.com account, hotmail account, gmail account, mobileme account. I have contacts in my most of these email accounts but there are many duplicates and info needs to be updated. With iCloud and mobileme running, I have numerous calendars and can't get any of them synched.
WHAT I WANT
I would like to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and use the iCloud Control Panel and MS Outlook 2010 to synch my mail, contacts and calendars from my PC, iPhone 4s and iPad (version). I only want ONE calendar and ONE contact list. Can there be a MASTER contact list within Outlook 2010 instead of all of these contacts from various email accounts? If so, would I create a master contact list within Outlook 2010 and then go to the various web email programs and delete their contacts? How to I get these calendars under control with one Home calendar?
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR
I started to migrate from mobileme to iCloud but stopped to install MS Outlook 2010 first. I installed MS Outlook 2010 and got all of my email accounts imported even having to manually move the att.net (Yahoo Pop3) messages because the folders and emails within would not transfer from Windows Live Email to Outlook. Currently having problems trying to get the contacts unduplicated and corrected but when I save a newly corrected contact, it disappears. Are these contacts synching as I insert them and then disappearing? Should I go offline to create correct this contact list? What will happen when I add iCloud to the mix? Will I have to go back and correct all duplicates again? Can someone provide the order of these steps to take the least amount of time?
I know this is a lot but it's fairly complicated to me and I also have another person in my house that has a PC, iPad and iPhone for whom I have to do the same thing. Trying to not waste time and do this the right way first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I backed up everything and finally took the leap to migrate from mobileme to iCloud. With a few glitches all seems to be working except that iCloud did not grab the updated and current Contact list from MS Outlook 2010 and seems to have an outdated contact list with only half the number of contacts.
Can someone help me get iCloud to grab the correct contact list out of MS Outlook 2010 so that it can be distributed to my iPad and iPhone also? Thanks! -
I NEED to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my PC. I need to use both.
Trying to use icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy (STOP SCRIPT WARNINGS EVERY FEW MINUTES) and frustrating because:
1. my PC is ancient (but nicely refurbished/fast)
2. I run XP (with both Firefox and Chrome- newest versions)
3. thusly, I DO NOT MEET SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for iCloud.
In my passed attempts I found that
1. Yahoo doesn't work well on iPhone
2. Gmail doesnt work well on iPhone.
I must be missing something... an app or... maybe a donated/ NEW FREE MAC! (That would be sweet! Ha.)
Is there an email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?
or... Please say it isn't true: I would love a Mac tablet or desktop. We have no money for a mac. SOL? Is this iCloud apple tech only for wealthy middle class and above who can afford to have the newest and best of everything?@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

I forgot my password to my iPad and it said to connect to iTunes so I did. I went on Apple support to try and find a way to restore my iPad. The options given were to either sign into iCloud of Find my iPhone and restore it, but it wouldn't work because I didn't download the Find my iPhone app and I wasn't signed into iCloud. My other option was to connect to iTunes and restore it so I tried many times but it keeps saying that the apple software cannot be connected. I used Apple support once again to see if i can sort out the problem but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else that I can do to restore it??
Try this:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad
