Mail:I need the same accounts and folders on 2 different macs

I just bought a MacBook Air next to my MacPro.
When I am not at the office, I'd like to check and answer my emails using my MacBook Air. How do I have to configure mail (or .mac) in order to:
- have the same mail accounts on both computers
- have the same BAL and folders
- have both computers fully synchronised (when I send an email with my MacPro it has also to appear in the sent box on the MacBook - same with delete - same with inbox - same with folders - etc.)
I have:
- different IMAP mail accounts (Gmail and others) or POP if needed
- a .mac account (if needed for synchronisation)
To make a long story short, I'd like to work with mail on 2 computers as it would be on one (not having to read emails twice & so on)
Many thanks

Actually, I realize now it didn't work. My folders have synced, but the rules haven't. I had an online chat with a MobileMe rep and now understand that MobileMe doesn't actually sync IMAP accounts. I can read my mail on my iPod but that's it. Syncing rules between two Macs requires some other procedure which I haven't yet learned.
PLUS, evidently I responding to this with my OLD Apple Discussions ID and can't figure out what the NEW one is. I started this discussion with the NEW one, so until I find the NEW ID, I can't close it. Sorry everybody. I'm working on it.

Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

We have 2200 student iPads on our school campus. When starting from scratch they all receive one identical image and then are renamed according to their property tag (manually ). Students are then checked out their device for the school year and often move their apps around into folders. I often have some come back in to be synced, updated, etc. and I do mid-year updates to apps. As long as their names are unique I have no issues with them retaining folders when they are resented late. So basically as long as you don't mind doing the set up to each one of the 20 the first time you sync them, you can update them whenever you'd like, adding and updating apps, and you can retain folders.
And of course there are all sorts of other options with Configurator and other MDMs.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

I am updating iphoto 9.1 to 9.3 and every time when I clicked for update aps store asked to open it in the account where you purchased. I am using the same account and its available in the purchased item of this account. Can someone resolve this problem.

I am using the same account and its available in the purchased item of this account. But in my purchased item library it indicates that you update iPhoto. I am not sure which account the aps store asking. Can someone resolve this problem.

Contact App Store support. They're the folks who can help with Account issues.

HT1495 I have just purchased a second ipod and have 2 computers can i use one ipod on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks,

I have just purchased a second ipod and have two computers w7 and xp, can i use one on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks.

Sorry to ask, how do I do it please. I have my first ipod with the same account on both computers that have different libraries one of which I am building now. Do I have to de-authorise my original ipod on the computer that I want to use my new ipod on with the new library and then register my new ipod. I would rather do this than have 2 libraries on one itunes, but keep the same account details.

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

I have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting

you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync the applications we have.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

Help please is there any way to have 2 iphone 4's which are updated on the same account and not have the same stuff on each phone i.e. contactsm, apps, and calendars? we like the fact if one purchased an app and other wants to get same app its free!!!!

we updated both of our iphone 4 on the same computer and we have always shared the same itunes account which is convenient when one purchases an app the other person can simply download app without purchasing again!!! but we do not want all same contacts and app on both phones!!! after updating and setting up icloud we both had same contacts so i went in contacts on my phone and began deleting his numerous contacts on my phone well not knowing that it was deleting on his phone also!!! oops he tried restoring from backup with no luck retrieving his contacts !!! also another issue i have noticed is the manual says that in order for it to sync ur phone must b plugged into a power source well and i have noticed it saying syncing w my phone when it was not plugged anything wall nor computer and it looks as tho in the summary at the bottom where it displays capacity and free space that it is gonna take everything off of my phone but nothing changes on my phone!?! do we just need to get him a separate itunes account to be able to get full benefits from update?!

Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc.

How do i separate 2 different contact lists from 2 iphones that is synced to the same account and macbook?

I just bought an iphone 4s while my wife has already been using an iphone 4s for months. I wish to sync my iphone to the same macbook(account) as my wife's iphone as we use the same apps and listen to the same music. But we would like to have separate contacts as i do not want my wife's contacts in my iphone and neither does she want mine in hers. How can i separate them? And if i add new contacts to my iphone, how can i maintain separating them whenever i sync in the future?

i have 2 separate IDs and also 2 separate itunes library hoping the contacts won't sync and mix together but both libraries only syncs from/to the same address book in my MBP. i cant separate the separate the contacts in the address book unless i manually move our hundreds of of contacts into different groups then sync from only my group.... but thats just too much... any easier way?

Recently my macbook charger died and I purchased from a third party seller a new charger that has the same amperage and voltage listed, but different model number. my question is should I be worried, or is it all right?

So recently my model number A1184 charger for my mac book pro died and I purchased a new charger online. They sent me a different charger, a model number S165365, that has the same amperage and voltage listed. my concern is whether it is okay to swap one out for the latter?

Is this your charger you got?

I suppose it's OK, though if I were you, I get original stuff even if it's expensive.

HT2731 I have 2 apple iPods on the same account, And they have the Same songs on them. How can I get a new account for one of them but not the other? Can I wipe the memory of 1? How would I do that?

I have 2 iPods one I don't use anymore. I would like to make a new account for one but not the other. Is that possible? If I wipe the memory in one will the other wipe out too? How can I do all of this?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

How do i completely delete my sons info from i cloud we are on the same account and i dont want his stuff on my icloud

how do i completely delete all of my sons info from my icloud account i just want my stuff on there

There's no way to automate this process, it has to be done manually. And you'll have to first migrate a copy of the data to a different iCloud account on his device before deleting any data. If you delete it before doing so, it will delete the data from iCloud and from his device and it will be permanently lost.
To do this, on his device go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Your phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete his data from your account, and vice versa. These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
