Need some help tweaking email sync between iPod Touch, MacBook Pro, please

I'm hoping there are some settings I can tweak to prevent any already downloaded mail in my MacBook Pro Mail app from being deleted when syncing to my iPod Touch.
For example, I had an email downloaded from an IMAP account onto my MacBook Pro Mail app. The email remained on the IMAP server. I ran a test drive of the iPod Touch for the first time, and it successfully downloaded the handful of items on the IMAP server. I deleted the email in question from the iPod. When I synched the two gadgets, the email also disappeared from my MacBook Pro.
Ideally, I want the MacBook Pro Mail to be the primary archive for all incoming and outgoing emails. When I retrieve email on my BlackBerry, the mail remains on the server - when it downloads to the MacBook Pro Mail app, it just appears with an "already read," no blue dot status. I'd like to use the iPod in the same fashion - to send and receive emails when I'm away from the laptop.
So, I guess the short version of the question is: How do I prevent mail that I delete from the iPod from also being deleted from the MBP?
Thanks,
Tim

I am confused. you can ony sync to one computer/iTunes libray.  You can manage music among different computer though.  See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
What do you mean by "different user's name"?  Where is the user's name specified?

  • I lost my ipod touch 4g and I have find my iphone on but I dont know how to find it. I need some help to track my stolen ipod touch 4g.

    I need some help to track my lost ipod touch 4g

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police in case someone turns it in, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

  • Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

    My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

    I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
    (We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.) 

  • Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and  iPod

    Hello iTunes people.
    I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!
    PROTEUS

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Some mail not syncing between iPod and MacBook

    Hello
    I have an iPod Touch, 4th gen running the latest version of iOS and a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5.  Until Friday I had two e-mail accounts that I used every day, and got my messages on both the iPod and the MacBook.  I have iCloud set up with an icloud.com address, plus another address not related to iCloud.  All my icloud.com message would sync perfectly between my iPod and my MacBook.
    On Friday I deleted my other address (the non-icloud one).  Now all the messages I received to my icloud address *before or after* Friday sync to my MacBook, but there are three messages that I received on Friday that only appear on my iPod.  I would like to see these on my MacBook because that's where I keep old messages for future reference.
    Any idea how to fix this?  I can forward them to myself, but then the recipient will be me and not the original person. Not a tragic thing, but will be confusing when I try to find them in the future. 
    Any help will be appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    Just to be sure I understand your question:
    This is with an Apple email account (@iCloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com)?
    When this happens, is the mail visible through webmail on iCloud.com (on the desktop browser)?

  • Need some help, wrong email

    I did a update on my iPod touch , I accidentally put the wrong email in for the iCloud , when asked to verify I could not because I put the wrong email in. What can I do because I can't delete the account ?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

    Hello people.  I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago.  It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it.  I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
    Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
    Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
    Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
    Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
    I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance

  • IBooks and podcasts won't sync between iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro

    I have an iPad 2, an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro (Mavericks) - all are on the cloud and wifi sync, all permissions are there, settings are correct.  The iBooks issue I had was between the MacBook and the iPad - I put some PDF files into iBooks on my MacBook and when I went to the iPad they were not there.  Even after syncing, connecting directly to the MacBook via USB - nothing.  They are there now, but I have no idea how that happened.  I tried that a week ago.
    This morning on my commute into work, I added a couple of podcasts to the Apple podcast app on my iPhone 5s.  When I got into the office and went to the podcasts app on my iPad, they were not there.  Even after syncing on wifi (I don't have my MacBook with me so I haven't tried direct syncing).
    Am I misunderstanding how the wifi syncing works altogether?  Or is my iPad the issue?  Any help is appreciated!

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Application sync between ipad and Macbook pro

    I purchased iWorks a year ago for my ipad and then recently purchased a Macbook Pro.  Is the application purchase valid for my laptop or do I need to repurchase the app and install it on my Macbook?  Thanks!

    Apps that run on your iPad (iOS) cannot run on the Mac OS X and vice versa. Two different operating systems.
    So you do need to re purchase the app for your Mac.

  • I lost connection between Ipod and Macbook Pro Notes when I changed OS from Lion to Mountain Lion.

    I changed OS X from Lion to Mountain Lion and:
    New Mail application has no Notes.
    A new Notes application is available.
    In my Ipod I am was using Note application that normally was sincronized with Mail Note application. How can do a similar job?
    Devices involved:
    MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010.
    Ipod Touch, software version 4.2.1

    try this:
    open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found repair them....
    then go to system preferences - network - advanced - look for the dns tab and enter the dns you see on the image below.  after you've done that, restart your macbook and see if your internet pages loads faster.
    good luck.
