.mac account disappeared from my iPhone

Two odd things happened this past week - maybe at the same time, although I can't be sure.
1) My .mac account disappeared from my iPhone. My POP3 account remains.
2) On my laptop, in Apple Mail, three new mailboxes for the .mac account suddenly appeared under "On My Mac": Deleted, Junk and Sent. They never used to be under "On My Mac", so I'm wondering if this is somehow related to the .mac account disappearing from my iPhone.
I still get mail to the .mac account on my laptop, and it still shows up online when I go to the .mac website.
Should I just go ahead and try to add the .mac account back onto my iPhone or is this likely something more complicated?

Hello, did you resolve this? It's happening to my .Mac/ iPhone now. I've only recently set up my .mac account, and it's now disappeared off the iPhone twice in the 2 days I've had the email account.
any help would be much apperciated,
Regards
P

.mac account disappears from Mac mail

Often I will go to my Mail app and the .Mac Account is no longer displayed. If I quit mail and reopen, it and its folders stored there at .Mac will be displayed.

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

You access Facetime through the Contacts app - there is no Facetime app on the phone.

How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes. The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything.
For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most). Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access. I would then download them onto my iPhone again. And then they would disappear again! How can I stop such annoying behavior? Does switching music sync to manual help? Thank you.

How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.
Who provides your email.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

Can't (re)install Apps after the disappeared from my iPhone!

I have a problem with installing (or reinstalling) two applications on my iPhone. The two apps are Google Earth and Remote.
I have had the two apps installed and working perfectly fine. But someday Remote was missing from my springboard, and now today Google Earth has disappeared from my iPhone. But the apps are stilling in iTunes, and are listed as installed through App Store. So therefore I can't reinstall them from App Store, before deleting them first from iTunes.
But here is the actually problem. When I enter my iTunes account password the download of the app starts as it should and then continues to install it. But when the blue status/progress bar reaches the end or 100%. It freezes or stop to finish of the installation. It just keep saying “installing...” with the blue status bar filled out. It can continues to do this for as long as don't try to install a new app or preform any task on my iPhone! WEIRD! I really don't get it.
And the weird thing is that's only these two apps that does this. I can install new apps or reinstall old ones with no problem at all.
Does anyone here experienced the same problem, or do someone have a possible solution to this problem?
Thanks.

A restore won't get rid of the problem!!! **** crappy ****.
Is there anyway to send this question too Apple? Or do i have to spend the next hours on the phone with Apple Support?!

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

My notes section disappeared from my iPhone! up. Help!

My notes section disappeared from my iPhone! I deleted an email account but it was a duplicate of one I already had set up. Help! My baby girls milestone events were put there as I prepared to put them in her baby book! My iCloud hasn't backed up in a while because I ran out of space...

Try going into Notes, then tap Accounts at the top left, and then tap All Notes. You can also try going into all of your email account settings and make sure Notes are switched on for all (green side showing).

Yahoo mail has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5 inbox

I've had Yahoo email on my AT&t iPhone 5 for a year. Yesterday, with no action on my part, and no changes to the settings on my iPhone, all my Yahoo emails disappeared from my iPhone inbox, and no new emails sent to my Yahoo email address are appearing there. The Gmail inbox on my phone is fine. I can access my Yahoo mail on a browser, but not on in my iPhone inbox. I have reset network settings, deleted my Yahoo mail account, re-booted the iPhone, and re-added the Yahoo account. Nothing helps. I have no idea if the problem resides with Apple, Yahoo, or AT&T. Has anyone had the same problem? What can I do?

Yahoo's servers are notoriously bad. Yahoo will have to fix the problem. It's not an Apple problem, or an AT&T problem (except for the fact that AT&T chose to contract their email service out to one of the worst providers on the planet).
Try downloading and using the Yahoo mail app from the app store.

When setting iCloud my contacts disappeared from my iPhone

I sync my iphone 5 with outlook as well as my ipad mini.
I created an icloud account to be able to use the find my iphone app.
It asked me what to do with my contacts and I chose merge.
My contacts have disappeared from my iphone an there are no contacts in icloud.
My ipad mini has the data since I have not configured icloud in the ipad.
What do you suggest to get the contacts back to my iphone?
And what do I need to do to configure icloud on the ipad without deleting the contacts
Thank you
ATM

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried that and when I slid the bar to off , I was asked what I wanted to do with the icloud synched contacts, leave on the iPad or delete or cancel. I selected leave on the iPad and then the synch symbol came on screen, it stayed that way for over 30 minutes, in that state. I then rebooted the iPad and it came back , I went to the screen and the setting for iCloud contact was back to on. The contacts were still not there. My mail was still not working. I turned mail off and on , I received some email but not all as I compared to my iPhone and I tried to send an email it still did not send. I went back to the settings iCloud and turned contacts off again, I answered leav on iPad again and this time left it like that for an hour and had the same results.

My camera disappeared from my iPhone screen suddenly. there one minute, gone the next. pictures are still there, can seem them in memory. icon lost. any thoughts? Dan

My camera icon has disappeared from my iPhone. pictures and videos seem to be in memory, but the icon is gone and I cannot work out how to get it back! turned phone off, did not bring it back. was working earlier today. Thoughts? Dan

Go to the Search screen an enter "camera". If the app appears then you have simply misplaced the icon. Look at all of your folders and pages of your Home screen, or, as a last resort, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset home screen layout.
If the app does not appear that function has been blocked. Go to Settings/General/Restrictions. If it is enabled you will have to enter your Restrictions passcode.
If it is not blocked in Restrictions and you have a Corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone your IT department may have blocked the camera. If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than deleting the Exchange account and the associated security profile (in Settings).

Why are my notes disappearing from my iphone

Some of my notes have disappeared from my iPhone 5S. I noticed a while back on my old 4S. I spent about 3 hours at the Apple store trying to fix this. But it was a waste of time. My notes are backed up to my iCloud and yahoo so I still have them. This apparently is a common problem because there are a lot of folks asking the same question. The same answer that I have seen is how to retrieve them. That isn't a solution. Why is this happening and what needs to be done to keep it from happening. This is a very useful app but it is no good when it continues to lose my notes. Same thing is happening with my wife's 5S too!

Yahoo is holding Notes as hostage. Check your Yahoo account settings.

Navionics app mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

I purchased Navionics and downloaded on my PC and sync'd across to my iPhone3. After a couple of months it mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone and would not sync back from laptop. I have since purchased another laptop and, in desperation REpurchased another copy of Navionics. It is sitting in iTunes along with all the other (free) apps I have downloaded, but will not sync over. Also the "Sync" command only seems to be syncing 1 thing and is not updating bookmarks etc. What's going on? Any suggestions appreciated!

Sorry cannot help. I have Navionics on ipad2 purchased using my new iTunes account, but now I cannot update it because whenever I press update button, a pop-up of old account will appear and prevent me from updating. It is really annoying and disappointing.
