Mail Management I Mac and IPod Touch - Deleting

I have a problem with messages deleted from the Mail program on I Mac that continue to appear as new messages in the inbox of the IPod. Apple Help said that the messages deleted in Mail would be deleted from the server in 30 minutes - but that doesn't happen. How can I avoid getting all messages going into both the I Mac Mail and IPod Mail? I tried syncing without success.

I'm just posting this as I did for all these threads for the same issue:
Ok I think this problem here is Apple... It's a DNS problem. You get this problem depending on what smtp server you are registered on.
I always get the message that "p06-smtp.mail.me.com" failed...
But according to the nslookup command there are only the servers "p01, p02, p03, p04"... no p05 and p06 or p07 and p08 ...
What I did to get it to work (only considered as workaround):
first I tried to add a second SMTP server with the address "smtp.mail.me.com", it seemed that the mail went through... but never arrived... then I configured "p01-smtp.mail.me.com" as second server and it worked!!
What is the problem with this workaround?
When you change the password! As it doesn't accept the Apple Token you must configure your Apple ID credentials manually... however when you change them, you have also to change the manually configured second SMTP server!

Recently purchased a used IPad 2 but it still has previous owner's data. I've been told not to sync it to my computer as it will cause problems. What do I need to do to make it compatible with accounts on my mac and ipod touch?

You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.

Looking for a sound editing app I can sync between Mac and iPod Touch

I have old interviews I conducted as part of an old job. I want to put them on to my new iPod Touch to listen to while traveling. Since I am only interested in specific topics and passages I need to bookmark where in these hours-long interviews these passages are.
I can get these interviews from my Mac into my Touch easily with iTunes, but I cannot bookmark or make notations in iTunes. There is a plethora of apps that will playback and edit/bookmark sound files for the Touch, but all of the ones I have found will only do this for files recorded with that app and they will only upload or email to my Mac but not send files from Mac to the Touch.
If anyone has any thoughts on an app I have missed or a work around I would be forever grateful.

LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
Still, only the public folder is visible.
By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.

Managing Shared iPads and iPod Touches for different Departments

What would be the best way to manage multiple iPads used for different departments in an educational setting. I work in an educational setting and have recently purchased three iPads and 5 iPod touches for the sharing of four different departments each having both common and different uses and app desires? What are some best practices for managing accounts and workflow? Ex; Workflow for updating, syncing and maintenance? What about credit card accounts, does each iPad profile need to have a credit card account attached to it? What questions do we need to think in terms of creating a standard build without compromising the individual needs that each department may want to have on the iPads. Any advice would really help?

Hi Carolina,
I too would love to know how to do this. I think you can manage multiple ipads/ipods from one computer, but don't know whether you can actually have different setups for apps on various ones.
If you get any answers, would you please share with me?
regards,
Rob

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

Exchanging photos between mac air and iPod touch

I have recently switched to using mac. I want to find out how to transfer pic from ipod touch to mac air and from air to ipod touch without using the itune sync.
Also, before i used the sync. in itune to transfer pics from mac to ipod touch before and now I have three photo album on my ipod touch that i can't delete. Can someone please tell me how to delete them?
Thank you!

You can use "photostream" in iCloud, but the photos will only stay a certain period of time in the cloud.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
All other syncing and erasing of synced pictures has to go via iTunes, only photos taken with the iPod can be deleted inside the camera roll.

Mac and iPod won't let me set up iCloud Mail. Server not responding.

When I first got in to iCloud, my Mail app on my Mac and iPod were fine, but when U went back to them some time later, they kept requesting my password and then not connecting to the servers. I deleted the account from all Mail apps and tried to set them back up again, but now it says the servers aren't responding and won't let me continue setting up my accounts.
I can send and recieve emails from icloud.com.
Any help?

I've just had another look at it, and it seems it doesn't save your password so keeps signing out before it gets a chance to connect with the servers. The tickbox next to the Mail icon under the iCloud section in System Preferences keeps deselecting itself. This also happens when trying to log into icloud.com, where it says "Keep me signed in", it doesn't keep you signed in.

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 adjus

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.

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

Notes, TextEdit and iPod Touch

I am new to this iPod Touch 32GB, I used to make notes -TextEdit-, I just dragged them to the iPod icon, how can I put those notes in this new iPod Touch? Do I need to convert them using which software?
Thank you,
Francisco

Hi Pancho,
I am assuming:
1. That you have some notes on your computer that you want to put on your iPod Touch.
2. That you created these notes using TextEdit.
3. That you are using a Mac.
4. That you have Apple's "Mail" application on your Mac.
If all of the above is true, you can:
1. Open the Mail application on your Mac.
2. Locate the "Reminders" heading in your source list (on the left).
3. Open "Notes"
4. Copy & Paste your notes from TextEdit into the "Notes" in Mail.
You also need to connect your iPod Touch to iTunes. Then select the "Info" tab (the one on the far right of the row of tabs across the top) and scroll down to "Notes" and check the box to sync. Now, on the bottom right side of the page, you'll see the word "Sync". Click on it and your notes should now appear in the NOTES app on your iPod Touch.
Be aware that when you change/delete any notes on either your Mac (in the Mail Application) or on your iPod Touch (in the Notes app) that the next time you sync that change/deletion will appear and be the same in both places.

TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Contacts and Ipod Touch HELP!!

I have recently left school and the school deleted my itunes and basically reset my computer (toshiba windows XP) ! i have and ipod touch (running version 3.1.2 bit old haven't been able to sync) which was synced with that computer. On that ipod touch there are 500 contacts. Now i can't sync that ipod with the computer as it will erase all of the contacts! For christmas i got a Mac and have been trying to figure out how to sync the ipod! any ideas how to still keep the contacts but sync the Ipod or even just back it up??

Welcome to the discussion,
A manual backup will help in your situation. Here's how to:
Make sure your new Mac is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your Mac, to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

ICloud, MobileMe and iPod Touch 1G

My wife (iPad 2 and now iPhone 4S) and daughter (iPod Touch 4G) couldn't wait to get their hand on iOS 5 and iCloud. So far they are very satisfied with all the changes.
Me, I'm still using one of our 1G iPod Touch units. The battery is fine and it does what I need - music and MobileMe email.
When iClound was released I jumped first and converted my MobileMe account and didn't do all my homework. I still get all my email, but I haven't figured out how to get my iCal and Contacts information to sync. Can anyone point me to some help in configuring my Mac and iPod?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the feedback. Since my original post I've retreated all the way back to using iTunes to sync both my Contacts and iCal. I managed at one point to get all my contacts off my Mac and onto iCloud only and found no easy way to recover accept to retrieve them from an earlier Time Machine backup.
If it wasn't for the fact that my employer found necessary to get my connected 24x7 via a BB, I would have an iPhone 4/4s now and enjoying all the new 'Toys'.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
