New laptop imap but iphone currently pop. Can I change without losing anything?
Good Afternoon.
Apologies if this has been asked I have tried to search but didnt quite understand some of the answers.
My partner currently has his iphone set up using pop.
Yesterday we set his new laptop up and I set email up using imap.
I am not sure if there is going to be any conflict.
We simply want to be able to use either phone or latop and the other to respond to what he has done if that makes sense. If he puts an email in a folder on his phone we want the same to happen on his laptop. If he deletes an email we want it to disappear from the other device. In other words we want each to act like the other.
I believe he may need his phone to be set to imap for this.
How do I change it to imap as i am worried if I delete account before setting up an imap account on his phone he may lose all the emails currently on his phone.
Can you change from pop to imap without losing anything.
Thank you. If your answers could be kept as simple as possible I would appreciate it as not very technical with either iphone or laptop.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend.
If the account is an IMAP account, deleting the account on the phone will not affect any emails still on the server unless you delete these emails directly on the phone. So, first delete the account on the phone, the add the account back, this time setting it up as IMAP.

Can anyone help me with this question?
I bought a new laptop (Macbook) but the current installation files I have of Photoshop Elements 12 is for Windows, how can I change this? Or do I have to purchase an all new photoshopset? I hope not because that would be really expensive.Really? That's extremely unusual. Have you looked at all the discs? In any case you can download the mac version here:

My iCloud is full and I don't want to buy more storage. Can I clear my current cloud and then update without losing anything on my phone?

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I bought music on my iPhone but lost it when I connected it to a new laptop is there any way of getting is back without paying again for it?
Was the content not synced with a computer previously? If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer. -
I change my apple Id and password in the Apple's website but I can change it in my Iphone. How can i change my Icloud ID ? Help!!!
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have a new Laptop, how can I sync my IPOD music ,photo libary and Apps to the new computor without losing anything? My old laptop is kaput.
You can transfer iTunes purchases by:

Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:

However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer. -
