.mac and iPhone email

I have two email accounts that sync with my iPhone--RCN (now Astound) and .mac. Is it possible to use .mac as my outgoing server for emails sent from my iPhone, either as a default for all emails or selectively by individual message? If so, please explain how.

Thanks. I have .mac set as my default, but that doesn't quite solve my issue. When I receive an email on my other (RCN) account, is there any way I can reply using .mac? I want to do this because my RCN account seems to go off line when I access it using my iPhone, and I can't send email on that account unless I get back to my computer and reenter the password to go back online.

Live Updating/Syncing Between Mac and iPhone eMail Accounts

I have three primary eMail accounts
     - [email protected] (Cable Provider)
     - [email protected]
     - My School eMail
I use all these eMails a ton, spending several hours each day. One of my biggest time consumers is having to organize every eMail on my two accounts (iPhone Mail and Mac Mail) by putting them into folders, deleating junkmail and newslatters, ect. Is there some way using iCloud, or another program even to sycronize these mail accounts wirelessly? That way if I move and eMail to a folder on my Mac, it will move to the same folder on my iPhone, and if I delete another eMail on my phone, it is deleted on my Mac too?

You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone. Then reset the photo sync options. They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

Receiving charter email to mac and iphone

We have Charter email, a verizon iphones, and mac os x. We can not receive emails to our mac and iphones at the same time. According to Charter, there is no way to receive emails to our mac unless our iphone mail server is turned OFF. Is this true? Help.

I have the same issues, but wish to clarify a few of the suggestions. Basically, I have an iPhone 4 (Verizon), and a Charter e-mail account. Right now I have configured my Charter account (IMAP) to send/receive on the iPhone. However, now I can't use Outlook on my PC to send/receive e-mail from the Charter account. It gives an error indicating that another device (the iPhone) is already connected to the mail server. I would be OK with this as the e-mail on the iPhone works great, however, I like to download and store my mail locally on my PC. Now I can't do this. The only way around this is to remove the Charter account from the iPhone, dump the messages down from the server to my PC through Outlook. However, that also removes all my mail from the iPhone.
I'm down with forwarding my Charter e-mail to a G-mail account, and setting up G-mail on the iPhone. However, my concerns are:
1) Would e-mail I send from the iPhone now show my G-mail address versus my Charter address? I don't want this to happen, too much confusion.
2) Would I need to configure my home PC/Outlook to download from the G-mail server, or keep it as the Charter server?
Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions!
Thanks

University email with mac and iPhone

So i guess that i must not be very tech savy or maybe this isn't possible, but would anyone know anything about setting up a university email account (that is through iPlanet Messenger Express) wih my mac and iPhone???

Lebowski-Bluto,
I was not familiar with iPlanet Messenger Express, so I did a search for it. Appears to be a web-based email service. You could access it with Safari.
However, if you are looking to download your email you need to find out the POP3 or IMAP servers your university uses.
Hope this helps,

New iCloud setup with Mac and iPhone

I just setup iCloud for both my Mac and iPhone and still my gmail does not update between the two. I used the setup for both as shown on the Apple site. I thought this was supposed to be easy. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?

I would have thought that the Apple products would deconflict the message traffic from the email accounts, via iCloud.
I'm afraid you thought wrong. Modern email accounts do not work like that. Email messages, and the status of those messages is stored on the email server. If you setup the same IMAP account on numerous devices, the email is stored on the server and each email client reads the status of the messages from the server. Keeping things "in sync" is a function of the email server, not the email client.
I was under the assumption they were innovative enough to think about using their own products to help users manage ALL email, through Mail and iCloud, on several devices.
Since Apple do not have control over Google's mail servers (or anyone else's, apart from their own), it is not technically possible for them to do what you are asking. Creating a whole new, Apple-only proprietary email protocol would not be innovative at all, when the IMAP email standard already exists and is used everywhere.
As already mentioned, if you want to keep a Google Mail account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Google provides for doing so i.e. their IMAP (or Exchange) email servers.
If you want to keep an Apple iCloud (@me.com) email account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Apple provides for doing so i.e the iCloud IMAP email server.
Same applies to Hotmail email accounts, or Yahoo! Email account. Email clients do not keep email in sync - the server does.

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine. How do I get my music back????

The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3. It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3. It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac. I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

WPA Enterprise Problem Windows 7; Macs and iPhones working good

Dear Apple Discussions,
I have a strange problem within my corpoarte network. I have successfully setup airport base stations with wpa/wpa2 enterprise authentication against an open directory master on apple snow leopard server. Macs and iPhones can connect through this very easily and without problems. Windows Machines seem to have some trouble with this. I have a self signed certificate and a trusted certificate for the server, both are resulting in the same issues. The Windows clients cannot connect. There is no error message on the windows boxes. Here is a snippet from the logfile on the OSX Server radius.log:
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS Alert read:fatal:unknown CA
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: TLS_accept:failed in SSLv3 read client certificate A
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: rlm_eap: SSL error error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3READBYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca
Thu Aug 19 12:49:45 2010 : Error: SSL: SSL_read failed inside of TLS (-1), TLS session fails.
This happens everytime and I did not find any possible solution within google search. Do you have any idea?
Thank you for any help!!
Nico

Nico,
I have run into this problem as well. One additional piece is that in addition to Macs and iPhones, we also have Android phones connecting with no problem.
The only solution we came up with was to force the windows machine, in this case Vista, to use only our network and eliminate all others. Of course for our windows user that was a problem when he went home because he could not connect to his own home network any longer.
Unfortunately, that resulted in giving up on the issue for us and forcing the windows guy to plug in via ethernet.

I want to create an eBook for iPad , Mac and "iPhone".

While I was beginning with creating an eBook with iBookAuthor, I didn't know that the target group iPhone user is missed.
I want to create and publish an eBook, which is intended for iPad, Mac and iPhone users.
Does somebody know, which software would be the best?

Of course iTunes Producer is supposed to accept .epub files. If yours are not working, I suggest you try to contact Apple via the means indicated at the bottom of the FAQ

Also you could post your specific issue, with any error messages, in the forum for epub issues:
