Phone, iMac, Laptop sync question.
My iPhone, iMac, and Macbook (both running Yosemite) are all synched via the Cloud. I knew that when I deleted recently received mail messages on my phone, they would then be deleted (i.e. not download from the server) when I opened mail on my desktop computer (and vice versa). I recently discovered that old message that I want to keep (even in sub Mailboxes) on my desktop Mac, are being deleted if I delete them on my phone. I sometimes do this because I don't want to use up space on my phone, but some these messages are important to be archived, saved, on my desktop Mac.
So what is the process to be able to delete messages on my phone, but make sure they are saved on the desktop Mac if I have moved them to Mailboxes. Does it involve turning off Mail sync via the Cloud on the iMac? Or "archiving" the messages I want to save on the iMac?
Thanks for any advice.
Save them to an 'On My Mac' folder.

Two iphones, one imac and syncing questions
Me and my wife each have an iphone. Want to set up a mobileme family pack, to give her a unique email address, i have my own email address. can I then simply connect both phones to the imac, and let them sync independent of each other?
Any other issues? Thanks!!
JeffYes.
You can sync as many as you like to the same computer. Each is different and can bet set up however you like. -
A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about. How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone. Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.
Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start. -
My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.
Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here. -
I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!
You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here. -

- i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?
From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -

Need Help transfering data from phone to laptop
I have a 4G Samsung that I no longer use, but I still have pictures and music on it that I would like to transfer to my laptop. How can I do that? I bought a ONN Micro USB Sync and Charge Cable to do exactly that. Each time I plug it into the
phone and laptop, all it does is charge the phone. How do I transfer my pictures and music so I can get rid of the phone? Thank You very much for the help, if its at all possible. Or, if the cord I have won't work, can someone tell me what I need to
do to get my pictures & music off the phone? Model #SCH-I405You can post your question here : http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-android-phones/

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.

New events created in phone are not synced to iCal
While waiting for my economy to allow for an iPhone, I recently started to use my old mobile, a Sony-Ericsson T610, for calendars. The problem is that events I create in the phone won't sync back to the computer. iCal syncs its events into the phone alright, but events from the phone aren't added to iCal.
I haven't tried this on any other version of OS X but the current (10.5.2), so I can't tell you if this is a new problem or if it's always been this way ...The plot thickens ...
I just fixed my iCal sync problem with .Mac by refreshing .Mac with the data from my iMac and then syncing it to my iBook. Well, it finally worked, but surprise surprise, a few posts from my mobile/cell T610 appeared in the iBooks iCal, although they aren't in the iMac's iCal. So it seems like the events I have created on the T610 do transfer to the iMac -- it's just that they don't display in iCal. Or rather, in the syncing computer's iCal ...
What do you make of this? -
I currently have an old work phone that is synced to my iPad. I would like to delete the old work phone number from my iCloud without having to contact my previous employer. Is there a way to do this from my ipad and replace it with my personal iPhone?

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address.

The Calendar app that came on my i4S Phone does not sync the correct time for items posted on my Yahoo Calendar. Actually, items post exactly 4 hours earlier than the correct time on my Yahoo Calendar. My i4S is in the correct New York time zone. Help?
I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.
