IPod Touch mail app smarter/pushier than MacBook with Gmail?

This overlaps multiple categories, starting inquiry here first.
Why doesn't my MacBook's mail program update read-vs.-unread Gmail like my iPod Touch does? I read a message on the dedicated app on my 'Touch and it counts as "read" on Gmail; I read a message on my MacBook, and no, not registered as read on Gmail. Likewise, my MacBook "send" folder only has messages sent from my MacBook, not all my Gmail-sent messages. I've tried setting options to be as "pushy" as I know to make them in my MacBook, but what'm I doing wrong? Thanks for any info.

Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

Hotmail on iPhone Or ipod touch mail app!!!

Hey people. Im only making this post to help people out. After a lot of research and a lucky unxpected find, i discovered a way to access your hotmail account on your maill.app
First you need to sign up for a GMX.com mail account (completely free, and EXCELLENT)
Then once inside, you need to add a mail collector account, suck as your hotmail
(The mail collector feature in GMX accesses your Hotmail account and downloads your email messages into the mail collector folder inside of your GMX mail account.)
(Inside the iphone mail app, once you set up your gmx account to work with it, you will have access to a folder that is named: "Mail Collector" and inside will be all of your hotmail emails.)
After you have signed up for a GMX email account, here is how to configure it with the Mail app:
1. Under Settings, select "Mail", "Add Account", "Other", then "IMAP" or "POP" and use the following settings:
Name: enter your name
Address: your full GMX email address
Description: GMX
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.gmx.com (when you're using IMAP) or
Host Name: pop.gmx.com (when you're using POP)
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: mail.gmx.com
User Name: your full GMX email address
Password: your GMX password
Advanced
Use SSL: Off (SSL only works with incoming not going, but to be sure, turn it off for both)
Authentication: Password (both incoming/outgoing)
Server port: 110 (incoming) and 25 (outgoing)
If you selected to use IMAP, you can map iPod Touch folders to GMX IMAP folders. Test first if the default mapping works before changing anything.
To change the mappings, got to Settings>Mail>GMX.
- Select "Advanced"
- Select "Drafts Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Drafts"
c. Select "Sent Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Sent Mail"
d. Select "Deleted Mailbox" and set it to "On the server > [GMX] Trash"
Click on "Advanced" each time to return to the prior menu after choosing a folder

It may have just been that this was the first sync. The messages are all there, but are in reverse order with the oldest message at the top of the stack. It is neither a small nor orderly stack. It may have been because it was the initial sync and this was the order that GMX pulled them from hotmail.
Then there is the lag. I guess that you, like me, tested this out by sending yourself some messages "just to make sure it worked". How long did you find the lag between sending something to hotmail and recieving it through GMX? Right now, I'm sitting on 15 minutes since I sent one and it still has not arived in the GMX collector.
Edit: Never mind on that last part. Seems Hotmail thinks something coming from my gmail account is spam. Twice. But not the ones for blue pills, lotteries from Europe, financially challenged nobility from African nations, or the young lady that wants to get to know me better if only I would stop by her site and see her new pictures.
Thoughts?

IPod Touch Mail App not working

My family just had FiOS installed a couple days ago. It's taken my brother and I a couple days to notice that the mail apps on our iPod Touches (which worked 100% with our old Verizon DSL) are no longer working (i.e. they are no longer pushing emails from our Yahoo and GMail accounts to the iPods).
I deleted my Yahoo account from my iPod and then tried to re-add it to see if that would fix things and the message I got from the iPod reads: "the imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field" My brother's Touch gave him a different message regarding his Gmail account but he's not here at the moment for me to quote it directly. Only via the wifi at work was I able to successfully re-add my Yahoo account to the iPod. Now I'm back home again and when I try to refresh my inbox it's just "Checking for Mail..." indefinitely.
Note that it's only the mail app that is not functioning; all the other online functionality of the iPods (Safari, Youtube, weather app, iTunes) are working 100% with FiOS. And as I mentioned above, the mail app worked today on the wifi at work. It's only at home with the new FiOS that the mail app on my iPod stops working.
Any ideas? Might there perhaps be something I can tinker with in the router settings?

Me again. I've discovered the mail app works when I set the firewall from maximum to typical. Is there any way to tell it to let it work on maximum?

IPod Touch Mail app help

I have recently switched to google mail as Yahoo! Mail didn't work on my iPod Touch. However, google mail doesn't work either. First it tells me it can't work with the SSL port so I switched that off. Then, when it checks for new e-mail, it takes about one minute and then it just says that it can't connect to the server! Please can you advise me what to do.
From andrew

Do you have a good WiFi connection when you are configuring the email? Have you tried just syncing the email settings with iTunes (Info tab).

Is there Junk mail filtering in the ipod Touch MAIL app

I love the junk mail filtering in my computer's version of MAIL. Does the ipod touch do this as well?

No it does not have junk mail filtering.

IPod Touch mail.app problem.

I have set up my mail account on my Mac and it works flawlessly (I've had some problems with sending mail, because my ISP has had some difficultys with it's smtp). But now, when it is working, I tried syncing my mail account to my iPod (thru iTunes). It downloads my e-mails from my school's account, but when I try to send email, it says "Error: Senders email was incorrect". Note: SENDERS. Hmm. The same account is working with out any hickups on my mac. To clarify, i'm using my schools mail server for incoming and for outgoing i'm using my ISPs smtp server. My school's smtp works only with IPs from our school's internat network, so I can't use that.

What account? Yahoo is bad

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

IPod Touch / iPhone app "Remote"

Does anyone else attempt to use this to remote control your AppleTV ?
I was full of expectation when I went through the hassles of setting up an iTunes account on my junk email address (and without having to submit my credit card details - sorry, call me luddite, but I like to buy my music albums and movies and tv series on optical media, usually for less than iTunes is charging).
Then I find that the iPod Touch remote will only show iTunes purchased movies and tv shows, and not the "shared", personal movies / tv shows. Anyone with children of their own will understand, I have hundreds of home movie clips I want available.
I guess the "networking" between the iMovie and iDVD departments and the AppleTV department is broken, and has been since Take 2 was planned.

This must be where I'm going wrong.
I have nothing synced - all turned off when I setup after the "update" to Take 2. I previously had all my TV shows (including all my home movies) sync'd but the wireless speed is so fast and reliable I've gone back to stream everything.
I have only the one library ("Mac Pro Library") connected at the Apple TV. To play anything not purchased from iTunes, I have to select "Shared Movies" (or Shared TV Shows, etc), the "My Movies" shows nothing, presumably because I don't sync anything.
Are you saying that I could change some setting to get the whole streamed library content through the "My Movies" (or My TV Shows, etc) menu, and therefore possibly through the iPod Touch "Remote" app ?
I'm also a little miffed that the "Shared Movies" are not sorted by the "Sort Name" in iTunes in Take 2 v2.1. Apple TV v1.0 didn't sort by sort name either, but v1.1 did.
I factory restored to v1.0. Do I miss Take 2 ? LOL. I might use it if there was one good thing about it. Or it offered me some flexible access to my own content. Is there anything WOW I'm missing ?

Yeah, i found the file 'iPod touch app pack 4a93.ipa' in mobile application directory, which directory in Mac should i copy to? Is it \user\<name>\music\iTunes ?
Hi,
I think that is the old "January update", I'm not so sure it is necessary to transfer that one but it would go here -
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Look here for the latest 2.0 etc. updates -
C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Even then I'm not sure even these are required but best back them up to be safe.
I'm not sure where the go in Mac OS X though.
I'm sure someone will let us know soon.

Workaround to No "Select All" Functionality in iPod/iPhone Mail App?

Has anyone come up with a workaround to the lack of a "select all" option in the iPod/iPhone Mail app? Right now, if you are presented with a long list of unread messages, your options are to either read each and every one of them individually, or delete them individually. I was wondering if anyone had come up with either a workaround, or solution provider, in this area. Yes, I have submitted the suggestion to Apple to include this functionality in the future. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I posted the suggestion enhancement to Apple via the "Submit Feedback" option this evening, I wouldn't hold my breath but with no apps or workarounds out there, it's really up to Apple to step up and provide this basic albeit necessary functionality. I really can't be the ONLY Mail user that goes through manually deleting a slew of emails messages every other day, it's ridiculous!

IPod Touch New Apps. Button Missing

Where has the button gone to buy the iPod Touch software app. update/upgrade in iTunes? Thank you

ITMS gives me a choice between "Remind Me Later" and "No Thanks"
Maybe they're reconsidering the price.

Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.
