.Me and .Mac accounts on one iPhone

Hi:
I feel almost stupid asking this question: I have recently gotten MobileMe to work on my iPhone, which I got in September '08. I also have a MacBook. On my iPhone I now have the .Me account as the default account, and I still have the .Mac account. So when I get a new email it goes to both accounts, which doubles the amount of space. That's not a problem since I have the 16GB model. The question really comes down to: can I delete the .Mac account completely without also deleting anything in my .Me account? They look to be identical in mailboxes and email contained therein. I haven't tried deleting that account for fear I would lose something valuable. If anyone know the answer, please let me know.
Thanks,
Medren

Since all messages remain on the server with an IMAP account, deleting one of the accounts will not affect messages that remain on the server.
I've had a .Mac account for a long time, so I've kept using my .Mac email address after the change to MobileMe. If someone sent an email to my @me address, it would be delivered to the Inbox mailbox for my .Mac address or account so I would receive it with my .Mac account or address, and vice-versa. If you are accessing the accounts as separate accounts, deleting one of the accounts will not delete any messages in server stored mailboxes.
Are all messages sent to your .Mac address or account in the Inbox mailbox for your @Me address or account, and are all messages sent to your @me address or account in the Inbox mailbox for your .Mac address or account?
If so, deleting one of the accounts will not lose any messages.

HT4597 I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?

iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

Why you bought from the UAE .
The phone has NO international warranty and its the UAE and Saudia Arabian authorities that have instructed the function (facetime) to be removed not Apple.
Your best option is to return it to Dubai when next there.
OR contact these companies and see if you can trade to a Facetime friendly model from Europe

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.

I have Exchange and Yahoo accounts on my iPhone 4. At least 1 email a day I send as a reply fails to leave my outbox of my Exchange account.

I have Exchange and Yahoo accounts on my iPhone 4. At least 1 email I send from out thru my Exchange account fails to send and it simply refuses to leave the outbox. The only guaranteed way of sending it is to change the sender to my yahoo account. Note that is ONLY occurs on replies to existing emails, never new emails.
It is only certain mails that fail. Even if I delete the mail and write another reply it will still fail.
Could it be content related? It happened on IOS4 & 5.
I've asked one of the staff in the Apple shop and he said he's seen this before but doesnt know the answer - not really helpful if you're trying to work off your iPhone :-(

Thanks razmee209.
I would agree with you if I still couldnt send the reply by changing the sender to my yahoo account; but as I mentioned before - whenever the mail fails to send, I can ALWAYS send it by changing the sender to my yahoo account.
I agree that it must be something within the original mail, but why does it trigger a failure if I reply from my exchange account and not my yahoo yahoo account.
I can delete the Exchange account and re-add it, but it makes no difference. I've also rebooted the phone but again, no difference.

Link 2 iTune accounts to one iPhone

How do I download music from two different itune accounts onto one iPhone?

You don't. iphone are meant to be sync to one itunes account only.
copy the music and place it to your itunes media library.

Do we get a .mac account with the iphone?

Do we get a .mac account with the iphone so we can get the folders in mail?

I don't believe so. If you have a .Mac account you'd have to set it up manually through the iPhone. I believe it's IMAP?

Mobile.me AND .mac-account on two machines - sync iphone.

Hi,
i have a .mac account for work (where i purchased music i needed for work) and a private mobile.me account, which i use for buying my private music. Whenever i connect the iphone to one on these two machines it gets the account id from that computer.
The problem now is this. I purchased some apps from the appstore for account A and some apps for account B. So far no problem, i can use all these apps on my iphone. BUT: Occasionally the app store finds some updates for installed apps, which i would like to load. But if the app was bought using account A i cannot update this app, when the iphone thinks it is synced to account B - and vice versa. There is an error message saying, you have to buy the original software first to get the update. Thats what i did, but with the wrong account.
So my question: Can i use the iphone with two accounts? I payed for the apps, so there is no reason i cannot updtae them, when i´m allowed to use them. Or, the option i would NOT like to go: Can i merge these two accounts?
Thanks
Rainer

Authorize both computers for one iTunes account. You should only be syncing with one iTunes account at a time, by using 2 you risk having everything wiped each time you sync with another computer with a different account. You can setup several mobileme accounts, but you should only use one iTunes account for purchases on the iPhone to avoid problems like this.

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

Multiple .Mac accounts, on one Admin account on one computer

Hello all,
I am trying to have multiple .Mac accounts to publish independent iWeb websites on unique domains (the apple iweb provided ones) but it appears I can only have one .Mac account on my computer's network user to do the easy one click Publish button to.
I don't want to use multiple user accounts on my computer as I'd like to have access to all my photos, music, videos and everything else and easily do so without logging out from my main account.
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
Michael

The only safe and easy method is multiple user accounts.
You can easily store your iPhoto and music Libraries on an external drive and share them between accounts.

My wife and I have each one iPhone 4 each but only one iPad we share. ICloud does not seem to work for us?

My wife and I have each and iPhone 4 and one iPad. We would like to have both our iCloud accounts on the iPad. For families we do not generally buy doubles of everything (apps, songs, movies tv shows, etc) and that includes iPads. But right now we are sharing and iCloud account and that is causing a lot of problems with calendars, contacts, reminders, imessanger, etc. it would be cool ( and more like a computer ) if we could have our separate accounts and our iPad 2 could hold both our iCloud accounts simultaneously. So it holds our personal information without affecting each other phones. I think this would solve family problems with one iTunes ID, many iCloud IDs, many iPhones but one iPad, laptop, computer, apple tv. Thank you.

Can you delete an iCloud account from ONE iPhone without it disappearing from another iPhone registered on the same Apple-id/iCloud account?

My mother and brother made the mistake to connect both their iPhones to the same Apple-id, so a problem came up: All iMessages sent and received from one iPhone are also seen and saved on the other iPhone. My question is if it is possible to delete the iCloud account from one of the phones without it or any data being deleted from the other phone? Thankful for help! / the big sister..

Yes.

TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Can I use two different iTunes accounts for one iPhone?

I have a UK iTunes account but am currently living in Qatar and for banking reasons wish to make purchases using a Qatar credit card only. For some idiotic reason Apple will not allow me to do this. If I have to open a new account to use my Qatar credit card can I sync music purchased to my iPhone without it deleting my music from my UK iTunes account when I sync? I've no faith at all in iTunes and don't know why they always seem to make it difficult to just spend my money with them.
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks

Im pretty sure you can have more than one itunes account on your iPhone, might have to sign out of one in order to use the other(for downloading app or music probably). Although if you only mean to transfer your purchases from one account to another then I wouldn't have an answer, but most likely you can sync what you have on you're pc to you're iPhone since it has already synced with that computer previously.
Hope this somehow helps
