Obtaining previously read emails on iPad/iPhone on my Mac

Hi,
Quick question that I am sure some setting or preference will clear up. When I read an email that is newly received on my iPad or iPhone while I am work, I would like to be able to read it on my Mac as well. However, if I have already read that piece of mail, once I get home and open Mail on my Mac, that mail won't be downloaded to the Mac...in fact, it acts as if it isn't there at all, even though the already read message is visible within the browser-based iCloud application. I have run into this before with other mail services where there is some option to not download already read messages or some such. Anyone have any ideas how to remedy this?

HT3819 Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

Possibly. You'd need to see if your printer has any programs you can put on that attached computer to allow it to be a print server.
I'd start with your printer manufacturer first. See if they offer anything. for your model. If not, then you can look for any printer apps or programs.

HT1670 I've synced my ipad & iphone to my mac but i don't see my contacts on my address book on my mac? Using mountain lion as my os if that matters. New to mac so I need simple instructions please.

Need help adding my contacts from my ipad, iphone, to my mac address book. Have synced in itunes but don't know how to get to my desktop. New to mac, so not very savvy, so keep instructions simple.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Sending out group email from iPad iPhone

I have groups in contacts but cannot send 1 email to all as a group on iPad iphone
Thanks

Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

Accessing BT Internet email on IPAD/IPHONE and oth...

I am getting increasingly frustrated with inconsistent access to emails. When viewing on our main laptop, it seems to be OK but from other laptops (via webmail) or on IPAD/IPHONE or ANDROID many messages never come through and especially if they have been accessed on the main laptop - it seems to have a priority setting which then means the messages never appear on the other devices ? I can think of no reson for this and have tried various set up options and checks - I cannot believe I am the only person suffering from this. Any help much appreciated.

If you are using POP3 access on your laptop, you need to make sure that the e-mail program is configured to leave a copy on the server. Otherewise they will be downloaded, then deleted off the server, so your other devices will not see the messages.
Alternatively, you would have to setup your e-mail program to use IMAP and not POP3.

If you mean "Dynamic content", no it may not, depending on how the website delivers that content.

Notification Center after read email on iPad, on iPhone still is displayed as unread

Hi,
Sice some time I've got issue with newest iOS (7.1.2).
I use iPhone and iPad , both are configured with iCloud email.
When I receive a new email, it appear on both devices in notification center - that is very good.
But when I read this email on one device (no matter if it is an iPhone or iPad) - on second device it is still displayed in notification center !
Also when I unlock this second device , I've got unread badge count on Mail icon, which tells me that I've got 1 new unread email !
I need to open email application , then for a few seconds I can see that email, and when email app finish to sync - this email is marked as read.
The same thing happens when I archaive / delete email from the first device.
As far as I remember, with gmail account I didn't had such issues...
Anyone has simmilar issues with email app on iCloud ? This thing takes me crazy
Thanks
Daniel

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

Why does a read email on my iphone show up as unread on my ipad?

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to bypass this? I know that when I had my gmail accounts on both devices and I checked my emails on one the notification would go away on the other.

The iCloud accounts are IMAP (or IMAP-like). If that is the account you are refering to, then you should not have the problem you report. Maybe it's a timing issue, you may need to give it some time for the iPad to catch up. (In fact, I'm not sure changing the "read" status syncs immediately or even automatically.)

How to remove previously used email addresses from iphone?

After having his email account hacked, a friend gave me his new email address.
I have updated his contact information, BUT
everytime I write an email, or a text or a message, the old email address keeps coming up
as the first choice of my iPhone and iPad.
How do I remove the previous email address from my iPhone or iPad?
Regards

The ONLY way, currently, to remove this data from an iOS device is to restore the device as "new" in iTunes, NOT from backup. This will, of course, erase all data on the device, including this contact data. You either do that, or you live with it.

Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
Thanks for reading.

Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Deleting email on iPad, iPhone and IMac questions

Our current settings have deleted email removed after 1 day and remove from server is set at never.
If we change the settings to remove from the server on the iPad and iPhone, will we loose it on the IMac or will it still be available?
We get a lot of duplicate emails to delete and don't want to use ICloud at all until we feel our info is safe.
Thank you for your help!

Multiple devices on a pop account are slow death. I finally dumped Comcast and a 20 yr e mail address over the issue.
If you delete from server, and the Mac has not yet gone and gotten the message, it is gone. The only way to manage mail across multiple devices is to use an I map account. You can read, delete, save and archive messages from any of the devices, and the action is replicated across all.
( the cloud is not the answer, although, in a broad sense, I map is all ready in the cloud....)
See if your ISP offers both impa and pop options. If so, all you need to do is flip your account to iMac. If not, then forever you will be getting and deleting duplicate copies of the same messages, and if you start deleting from the server, you will begin to lose stuff you thought you wanted to keep.
Keep in kind that the pad will delete stuff out of your inbox when you reach the limit on the number of items you specified in settings.

Why aren't my songs previously playable on my iPad/iPhone (tho not purchased directly from iTunes) no longer playable on my devices?

Why aren't my songs previously accessible on my I/Pad 2/iPhone 4s devices in "Music" appearing in faint print & graphics no longer accessible? I had downloaded them into iTunes on my PC and previously synced them. Suddenly after recent syncing they were inaccessible. Why? (I previously downloaded an IOS_5 platform to my PC to use iCloud. Was working until recently.)

I too am having this problem. Its really frustrating. In fact i have my setting to have all music on my phone however the phone displays I have 2986 and the itunes reads 2987. I'm one off on this area. In addition some of my purchased music does not show in my purchased list on the phone. It does show on the itunes account on the computer and in the overall albums just not in the purchased. I drug the purchased song from the albums to the purchased playlist and tried to have it re-sync... did not work.. I tryed re-booting the phone, and restoring from back up all failed.
Another problem I have found since the IOS7 updates is the phone doesn't keep my music where it was when I get out of my car. I used to love that I would get out of the car in the middle of my playlist go in the store come out and it would pick up right where it left off. Now I get back in the car and it begins playing random music of all my entire library. I love all my music however I don't want to listen to Christmas and Halloween music all the time. I don't want to remove these from the phone as I want them always available. I just want the function to go back to how it was.
Oh and the last thing, sometimes when I turn my phone sideways and am listening to music the collage of albums shows but freezes so I cant turn the phone back and change the music. I like having the capablility of turning the phone to see pictures and things auto turn but not this collage of albums if it's gonna delay me swictching or skipping songs.
Any ideas for these issues? Is apple aware and working on these?

Set your email account up as IMAP on both iPad and MacBook. Then all mails read on one device will be shown as read on the others.
