On my 4s, I set up my existing hotmail account to my iphone email acct. but all folders appear, along with all my email contacts.

How can I restructure my contacts to be less?  All my hotmail contacts show up and there are a lot of them I do not want to show.  Also all my folders show up but seem empty.  Are those folders there so I can store in them the new emails?  I see that the phone wants to have all your emails and phone numbers together, whcih makes sense, but maybe I need to take all the semi important ones and have them as favorites?  And can you rearrange favorites?

If you want to change iCloud accounts and keep your data go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account (or sign into your other existing iCloud account) using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.

    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    Symptoms
    In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.

    Your device has a hardware failure and only replacement or repair will fix it.  Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • Can I set up a normal Hotmail account as an Exchange account?

    Hi all,
    Since I have had multiple problems with push on my iPhone, I want to know if I can set up a normal Hotmail account as an Exchange account, since they don't have this problem with push.
    Can somebody tell me if this is possible and how I do it?
    Thank you!
    Michaël Duwyn

    Yes you can.  Settings>>>Mail>>>Add Account>>>Microsoft Exchange---Email (your hotmail address) Domain (ignore) Username (your hotmail address), Password (your hotmail password) Description (what you want to call the mail account)>>>Next---Server (m.hotmail.com)>>>Next----Choose what you want to sync>>>Save.

  • I've just set up my mac Mail to receive my hotmail. It's now trying to download the whole of my hotmail account of 20,000 emails! I only want it to show the latest 200 (like on iPhone and IPad) Is there anyway to control this?

    On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up.  Shouldn't be a problem at all.

    Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

  • HT1694 I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my iphone 5s

    I am having trouble setting up my hotmail account on my Iphone. I've tried many times and still saying UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ? Any suggestions?

    Just use the 'gmail' option when setting it up. There should be no reason to set up incoming/outgoing servers.  Google is killing support for Google Sync (i.e. Gmail set up as an Exchange account) for non corporate customers.

  • I can only see three weeks of emails on the imap email account on my iMac even though the same email address set up as a pop account on my iPhone, iPad and another iMac show all my emails.  How do I change the setting to see more emails?

    I have two iMacs, an iPhone, and an iPad.  All use the same email address but the new iMac would only let me set up the email account as an imap account. On this iMac I can only see three weeks worth of emails.  On the other iMac, iPhone, and iPad, this email address is set up as a pop account and I can see emails as far back as three years.  I use Yosemite on the new iMac and I cannot find out how to change the settings to let me see more than three weeks worth of emails.  This is an att&t email account which is basically a Yahoo account.

    Nope. It will reset all settings. For fix errors.
    Or you can try Logging out and Restart your iPad and Sign in again.

  • How do I delete and existing itunes account on my iphone and start a new account

    how do I delete and existing itunes account on a phone that i have transfered to and start a new one

    You can't. All you can do is stop using it. Anything you have purchased using the old Apple ID is permanently connected to it and cannot be updated or re-downloaded when using the new Apple ID.

  • Downloading music from existing iTunes account to new iPhone

    I hope someone can help me with this:
    I have an existing iTunes account, linked to my iPod, and I recently purchased an album via my iTunes account (on my computer) which I then planned to download to my new iPhone. This is where the problems / questions start -
    How can I download this album to my iPhone?
    How can I use one iTunes account (share) with two Apple products (iPod & iPhone)

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes library, there is no limit. You can decided what content you want on each device & itunes will keep everything straight, by device, on subsequent syncs.

  • HT204150 I have added another phone to my account and set up iCloud   The person  that is using the new phone found all my phone contacts on her phone so she starred deleting them from her phone which made them disappear from my phone....how can I get the

    (I added a new phone to my account and gave the phone to a friend she saw that all my contacts were on her phone so she started deleting them.  Now they are gone from my phone?  How can I get them back?   On I cloud

    You can try restoring to your last backup, but there is no gaurantee that this will restore your contacts.
    Your friend needs to set up a different iCloud account with a different ID.  Have them go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, then set up a new iCloud account with a different ID, and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.  After doing this, you can each go to your own iCloud account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.  Don't delete any data until you are on separate accounts or it will also be deleted from the other person's device.

  • I had no problem setting up my pop mail account for my primary email, but cannot set up a 2nd pop account for my secondary account. I'm using Ipad2. Can you help?

    I cannot seem to set up a 2nd pop account on my Ipad2. No problems setting up the primary but the secondary keeps telling me that either username or password is incorrect. Both are correct. It's driving me crazy. Can someone help?
    Thanks!

    Maybe I'm not following completely, but you can configure email accounts manually, if you want. Just hold down the Option key when you click Continue on the first screen. You can then choose the type of account and set up the servers as you like.
    This help page seems to think you can still use POP with Yahoo.

  • How do i set up an iCloud account to work with existing hotmail account

    So i have iphone 4s and a macbook and i want the email address that i used to have sync via fetching the data manually to work with icloud, I made an icloud account so that i could do this but now that and the other email account are seperate so nothing ever syncs, how can i just add my hotmail account to icloud to make it sync to my iphone automatically?

    There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

  • Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

    I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

    How do you connect to the internet?
    Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
    I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
    My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do i transfer my existing itune account to my iphone

    how can I get mt I phone working properly

    This is not a chat application; it's a message forum. You have to give some time for someone to see your message and respond; it's not instant. You need to sign in to your phone with your existing Apple ID and load the backup file in order to get your content loaded. Does that help?

  • I helped set up a familiy member with an Itunes acct but all of my music transferred to them also.  How do I fix this?

    I helped a family member set up an Itunes account, but in the process I transferred all of my music over to theirs also.  Now my playlist is in both locations.  Can I just delete the songs on the other family members acct, without having it affect mine?
