Problem syncing email between Iphones/ipad
We recently added a (shared) comcast email address in hopes of replacing our AOL email account. Now we have a few problems:1. How do we sync COMCAST email between our desktop, two iphones (4S and 5) and ipad so that deleting/reading/moving from one phone impacts everything? Per Apple we now have to delete all emails from Xf by logging in (so via our home computer), but deleting/reading from the phones has no effect on the other phone/ipad. I tried the url in "inflightgolf"s question & it's inactive.2. We can't send COMCAST emails from the ipad.3. Also our shared calendar events (phones, ipad) sync more slowly (sometimes not at all) than they did before we added the COMCAST email account, tho can't see how that would be impacted.
Thanks for trying, but I didn't really understand the terminology in your explanation. Tried calling COMCAST Tech Support but they didn't seem to understand the problem + their phone lines were full of static. We went back to the Apple Store and:1. The Apple tech was looked at our iPAD & caught a typo I'd made when entering our new email address - so now we can send emails from the ipad. 2. He also explained that unlike AOL, because of the way COMCAST/Xfinity's server works, we'll have to delete anything from our Comcast email account individually on each device (something about IMAP vs POP). I'm simplifying things by not reading email on my phone anymore, and just deleting everything from my phone every few days. At least I could now confirm to a friend with Comcast email that she can delete all the emails from her phone without worrying that she might inadvertently lose something she wanted on her computer. Wish we'd never shifted to Comcast email, of course, but it's a bit late now.3. Whatever the problem with the calendar was, no clue, but we're just being careful about scheduling things & I'm sure it'll work out. Again, thanks for trying.

Syncing emails across iPhone, iPad and macbook pro
Can you sync emails across iphone, ipad and macbook pro, so if you delete from one it deletes on all? If you write an email on one it shows up on all? If you store something in a folder or flad something it shows up on all?
ThanksSyncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

How do I set up IMAP email to sync email between iPhone, Laptop and desktop
Applestore "Genius" couldn't answer and Applecare gave me wrong directions. I'm really struggling because I know it can be done!
hey,
thanks a lot for the advice. but what do you mean by SYNC? how does Mac mail on my laptop sync to my iPhone? and/or how do i tell my iPhone to sync to my Mac mail on my laptop. i have tried setting up my mac mail on my laptop first, then iPhone. hasnt worked. tried it the other way around (setting up my iPhone manually) and that created new folders on my webmail interface/server.
then there are the "keep a copy" functions under mailbox behavior — should i "keep a copy on the server"s or not?
lastly, when i set up IMAP on my Mac mail on my laptop, it keeps a set of subfolders "Deleted Messages" "Sent Messages" and "Trash" underneath an inbox server corresponding to my IMAP email. these folders then ALL show up on my iPhone, which cant send receive or sync any email.
if i just delete everything email off of each device and start from scratch, can you send me specific setup steps? (that's assuming my desktop (G4) and laptop share identical settings in Mac Mail) -

Syncing mail between iPhone, iPad and MacBook
When I delete an email (hotmail) form my iPhone it doesn't delete on my iPad or my MacBook. I've changed settings do that it deletes automatically from the server but I'm still having trouble working out how to delete it off all my devices when I've deleted it from one. Please help!!!
What I've done with email in the past is set only one of the machines to delete email from the server (if your company allows you that option). But you need to make sure you check with the one that doesn't delete before the other. You may be able to delete manually as well, so don't delete anything from the server until mail has been downloaded to both (I think this can be done in Apple Mail under advanced prefs). But that won't help with tracking replies, etc. And you'll have to manage mailboxes seperately.
.Mac has a bunch of syncing options, but you may not want to go to that expense.
Sorry I don't have any advice on the other stuff, only running 1 Mac. -
Syncing emails between iphone and macbook
E mails currently arrive in my inbox on the Mac, and on the iphone. Can anyone advise what settings I need to use so that when I delete an email from either phone or Mac, it will also delete from the other.
ThanksYou are in the wrong forum. This forum is dedicated to Numbers '09. You also have not mentioned what type of mail account it is. Some mail account types cannot be set up to sync, you have to delete emails from each device independently.

Problems syncing podcasts between iPhone and iTunes
Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to an iPhone 4s. However I am now experiencing problems sycing podcasts through iTunes. When I have played a podcast on the iPhone and then sync it still shows as unplayed on iTunes. The played podcasts also remain on the iPhone after the sync even though I have set it to only sync unplayed podcasts.
Appreciate any advice - this has only started happening since getting the iPhone 4s (it worked perfectly on the 3gs).
Thanks in advanceBump.
Anyone provide any insight into this?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?
So, my DNS is comming from my ISP. It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
Soooooo, there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1? -
Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?
You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

I have problem syncing my music to ipad. Most of the songs are duplicated but only in ipad. I checked the music library in itunes and there didn't have the duplicated songs like in the ipad. I can not delete the duplicated songs inmy ipad.
Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

I have problems syncing my new iPhone 5 to iTunes. I read somewhere to disable iPhotos and that has allowed me to sync but my photos are not on my iPhone. How can I fix this?
Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1

icloud calendar is no longer syncing TO outlook although it previously did. If I make a calendar entry in outlook and hit the iCloud refresh, it DOES sync to my iphone, ipad. However if I make a calendar entry on my iphone or ipad it won't sync TO Outlook. Sync has been working up successfully both ways until this last week. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you mean you can't stream movies etc. You can only play media over Airplay, you can't share data from other apps.
