No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.

Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?

Hello, I try to connect my earphones via bluetooth with my macbook air but do not know how it works

My bluetooth at the macbook air shows acitvated and visable but it does not connect to neither my ipod nor the earphones that I try to connect.
Can somebody help me out? I would assume the solution is just one, two clicks away.
Thank you in advance however will answer.

I synced my ipad with my macbook air but the contacts on the ipad were all deleted. Can't seem to find a way to restore them. Contacts on macbook unaffected

I tried syncing my ipad with my macbook and checked the box to replace the contacts on the ipad with the contacts on the macbook. Now the contacts on the ipad have been deleted (address book now empty). The macbook contacts have been unaffected. I'm not syncing with icloud. Any solution?

James Ward4 Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes. Thanks again.

My notes won't sync from a google account with the macbook air, but they sync fine on the ipad air and iphone 4s??

I keep getting this message when I try to sync my notes in a google account this message keeps popping up... mail couldn't discover the account settings. My mail shows up, contacts and calendar sync fine, and notes from other emails sync fine. But this one email will NOT let me sync?????? Any suggestions?

Go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars
Scroll down to Mail section and find Show. Selecting something different here may solve your problem. Mine says "50 Recent Messages". You may need more.

I don't want my iphone paired with my macbook air, but it is.

... and I can't find a way to unpair it!
When I click on the Bluetooth icon on my computer with OSX 10.9 , I get this list:
As you can see, a device called 'iPhone' is connected. If I disconnect it, it automatically reconnects in a few seconds.
(Also on the list is 'Sam Pieter's iPhone', which is apparently not connected)
I open Bluetooth Preferences and see this:
Just two devices: my mouse and my phone. Why is that 'iPhone' not in this list?
When I turn my phone's bluetooth off, both the mystery device and my phone are gone from the list:
So, the devices 'iPhone' and 'Sam Pieter's iPhone' apparently are the same.
On my 4S iPhone, when I go in the bluetooth settings, I see one device, my computer called SPSvL, and it's 'Connected'. There's no 'i' information button that I can click on in order to 'forget this device':
How can I get rid of this Bluetooth connection?

My i cloud is on with my macbook air, but no pictures are comming down from the cloud, they are there, via my I-phone

My I-cloud is not transfering pictures to my computer..its turned on, and password on, the calender is working..

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards

Macbook air isn't syncing with imac/iphone

i have a macbook air (O SX Lion 10.7.5), an imac (O SX 10.9.1), and an iphone (7.0.6 iOS). they are all synced using the icloud, but this isn't working properly on the macbook air.
the air receives email like the other two devices, but doesn't show items sent from the other two in its sent box.
the air also doesn't sync the diary at all.
the contacts sync perfectly well.
trouble is some things are syncing, others aren't.
also i have a real problem with 'notes' on the imac, which makes multiple copies every 10 seconds, and isn't syncing with anything.
notes show up in 'mail' on the macbook air, but in separate 'notes' software on the imac and iphone, which is much preferred to having it in mail.
i wonder if these small glitches are all being caused by the same problem - any ideas anyone?
thanks very much,
emma.

Have you checked all your settings.
Have you tried logging out of iCloud and back in again.

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion. Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html. Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

HI! I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away. My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily. Is there something that I need to configure? I have no issues if I am close to it. Thank you!

Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

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 -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

I have transferred my documents from iMac to macbook air, but when I try to read then I get the message "This document is too old. Download it to version 09. How do I do that?

I have transferred my pages documents from my macbook pro to my macbook air, but I cannot read them as I get the message "This document is too old. Download to version 09". How do I do that? I spent over an hour on the phone to a technician at Apple but he was no help.

I have the same issue having replaced my 07 iMac for a new iMac, I was using iWork 08 (Pages) and all my Pages documents cannot be read by the latest iWork (Pages). I get the same message and, although I have worked out that any that had been exported to Word format can be read and then re-saved, I cannot now open the purely Pages documents to export them to Word first. I am amazed that the new Pages cannot read Pages 08 document but can continue to read Word ones! So, how can I get my hands on Pages 09, so that I can re-save them in the current Pages format?
