Sync and mail settings

Ok
my setting for my mail accounts are the same on my mbp and my 4S
How come when I sync, the settings on the 4s changes ?

It sounds like you might have two Apple IDs (maybe one for @me and one for iTunes with a different email?). Log out of iCloud and log in using your @me address that you already have.

Isync/.mac sync and mail accounts

Mail checks 3 email accounts for me. And .Mac is set to sync my mail accounts and settings across two computers.
The thing is, every time I open Mail (on either computer), .mac will eventually sync, and I get the "this is going to change >5% of your mail accounts" warning. It says it is going to delete two accounts, modify zero, and add two. I always just click ok.
But it's getting to the point it's annoying. So today I clicked the "details" section- and it shows the accounts that are supposed to be added/deleted- and they are identical.
Everything else syncs fine, without error.
is there something funny about mail account syncing? Why does it do this every single bloody time .mac runs a sync?!
Thanks!

You should ask in the .Mac Sync forum. iSync doesn't do any kind of Mail syncing - it's for syncing to phones and PDAs.

Contact and Mail settings issue ?

Cannot open Contacts anymore after iOS5 upgrade. When I try to set Mail and Contact it crashes to the main screen. I did a complete restore but the problem is still there. icloud is not activated.
Also, when I try to sync the contacts with my computer, I get a message sayng that Contact is being used and cannot be accessed. Any idea on how to resolve this?

I actually discovered that the fix for the iPhone calendar not syncing correctly was either a recent MS update (We are using Exchange 2003) and or adjustment to Sites and Services in AD. So my fix above was not the fix after all. Some iPhone users during the last two weeks all of a sudden noticed their calendars were syncing and events were filled in.
From our Windows IT Admin when I asked them what they did:
“We ran Microsoft updates weekend before last, and we adjusted the Sites and Services part of AD so that our Domain Controllers are associated with their correct location (this change rendered RPC over HTTPS inoperable (it worked about 50% of the time prior to this change, based on which DC you authenticated against)).”

Iphone and mail settings

each time I sync my iphone with my macbook pro, I have problems with my email passwords. I have to reenter my passwords to recover my emails ( and I have 3 different accounts) on the mbp. I don't understand, the phone and the mbp have the same settings!
Any ideas ?

sooo when you have the device plugged into itunes you'll wanna go to the info tab right above the picture of the device in the summar page, and just uncheck the box that says sync mail accounts, then re check it, sounds like theres in issue with the sync thats going on

Ungraded to IOS 8.2 and mail settings changed and outgoing mail will not work. Setting seem to me correct.

IOS 8.2 did something to my Gmail settings for my outgoing mail. Check the setting and they seem to be correct. Anyone know what else the download may have affected in Gmail or email setting in general? Iphone 6 Plus

Two unrelated questions, syncing and mail

I have two unrelated questions.
1. I can't seem to for the life of me copy playlists between devices. Both my IPod Nano and my IPhone 4s are connected to my computer right now. Using autofill, I was able to put all the music in my ITunes library on my phone, but when I sellect the playlists, copy and paste them, they won't move and remain only on the IPod and the computer. Can someone please tell me how to get them onto my phone? There are currently no playlists on the phone.
2. My other question is about mail, whenever I send a mail, the phone says that it was rejected by the server and a copy has been placed in my outbox. What's going on here?

1) Is the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" box checked under the Summary tab in iTunes on each of your devices?
2) Try deleting the account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then re-add it.

Syncing and Clock Settings/Adjustment

Hi Everyone
I don't know if any of you do that, but I have the habit to moving my clock forward to make sure I'm on time.
All my clocks show a different time ( macbook +15 mn, Iphone +20mn )
I know it's a bit silly,but it helps me to be on time.
However it becomes a problem when all the sudden the Iphone shows the same time as my laptop.
It first happened after I sync, then I made sure to turn Off the Automatic Date and Time on the Iphone.
(General /Datre Time /Set Automatically OFF)
But When I recently upgraded to IOS 6, out of nowhere it adjusted to the laptop clock settings, althought the Iphone was still set to OFF.
What do you think causes that?
How Can I avoid it?
is it ueo to IOS upgrade?
Thanks for your help
David

Hi, Gothboy -
If the PMU reset that Tom suggests does not fix the problem, then try a reset of NVRAM -
- Start the computer and immediately hold down Command-Option-O-F
- When the computer starts it should open into a prompt screen (Open Firmware).
- Press Return, you will see OK.
- Type reset-nvram include the dash, here and below.
- Press Return
- Type set-defaults
- Press Return
- Type reset-all
- Press Return
The system should restart. If not, try typing exit or shutdown, or you can manually restart the system.
Note - some machines may return "unknown word" in response to the reset-nvram instruction; if that happens, try init-nvram instead.

Mobile Sync and Language Settings

Every one in our houshold uses mobile accounts on a few computers. No matter which computer you take, you can login with your server account. These are not network accounts, but mobile accounts with portable home directories (PHD) (so you can take the macbook with you) and they are synchronized with the server. My kids use the Dutch langauge for their OS interface. I manage everyone's preferences for mobility.
I found out the following: if you (for instance) add ~/Music to the skip list for home sync (so it all stays on one system), it turns out it does not work. I have to type that as ~/Muziek (Dutch word for Music). Hence: if a user of mine changes language settings he or she circumvents the managed preferences on this point. I find this completely unexpected. I would have thought that this would have been implemented at the unix level.
Ugh. I can understand the difficulties involved (e.g. translating a regex from one language to another is a no-go), but at least the language setting could have been well integrated with managing settings.
At least I would like to set the language for a user then, so I can control which interface language is used (and adapt the PHD rules accordingly). But I haven't been able to find a setting for that. Probably I have to set it once and after that manage acces too language in System Preferences? Is there a better way?

I always like to back things up to an external hard drive though. Get a western digital external 1tb hard drive for 50 bucks online. Great thing to have. You can store all music and movies on there and free up that space on your computer so it runs smoother

Sync Mail settings With Outlook

Hello , i am totally new at this. I have a question, how I can sync my mail settings with Microsoft Outlook . In my situation , I use Microsoft Outlook of course. When I use the Mail app it downloads all my messages , however they each appear with a blue dot next to them indicating it's unread. So I want to make it that , if I read a message in the Mail app , it will also mark it as unread on the Outlook server . If I delete a message in Mail , it deletes on Outlook as well, and so on . Please tell me how i can do this, thanks.

Syncing via MobileMe might work - but it costs and you have to be able to install a client on the Outlook PC. There's a 60-day trial of you want to have a look

Mail settings not syncing

i have itunes set to sync 1 of my 4 mail account settings.
it's ticked in itunes and when i hit "sync" it says it is syncing the mail settings.
once it has finished i got to the touch and check the mail and it hasn't done anything, no mail account is there.
any ideas ?
touch is on 1.1.4 (with software update).

If that doesn't work, there is a section in the iPod settings that says some thing like: In next sync only, information on this iPod will be replaced by info from this computer. I believe that that pertains to mail accounts.

Iphone and mail

I have previously posted re message received icon on iPhone showing red figure that mail is received but I had nothing in my inbox. This is resolved by resetting. Now I am receiving mail which says 'this message has no content' and is dated 1971! This so far has also been solved by resetting after which these mails are no longer there.
This resetting is fine but could there be something wrong which causes the problems in the first place-don't think I should have to rest at least once a day.
Thanks

Hello jaepluss,
The behavior you're describing applies to POP or POP3 accounts. IMAP email account will reflect the same status for messages on all clients that use the IMAP account.
In the case of a GMail account, make sure IMAP is enabled. You can find it in the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab of the GMail account settings on your webmail page.
Also make sure the GMail account on your Mac is setup as an IMAP account and not a POP account.
If you delete a message on your GMail account on your iPhone, you should, after a brief delay, find the message in the Trash folder on your webmail page.
If you had the gmail account setup on the Mac as a POP account and synced the Mail settings to the iPhone via USB, then you may need to delete the GMail account from the iPhone and manually setup the account on the iPhone. The iPhone will setup the account as IMAP.
Some accounts support push mail as well:

Hope that helps,

Failing print and mail

We are running SSM Version 7.5 SP5:
If we create a PDF via "Print" or "Mail" the created PDF is an old PDF who was created on 13 Apr 2010.
It is always the same PDF who is shown whether we print initiatives, scorecard or other things.
Also if we print initiatives it appears the following script error after the print and mail settings:
Error message 'PerformanceStatus' ist Null oder kein Objekt
URL http://fmgste.munich-airport.de:52200/strategy/pilotworks/initiatives_pmc.htm
Line #645
The operational Reviews work fine.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Marion

Marion,
When a user prints any screen in SSM, thereu2019s a 2 step process going on behind the scenes. First, SSM creates an HTML file for the purpose of being read by PD4ML, and then SSM calls PD4ML to read the HTML file and write a PDF. SSM writes them as blobs to database tables (CPMS_FILE_STORE). Since all users have unique login names, SSM can use the login name as the basis of the file name for the HTML file and the PDF file. So, if user pipadmin prints from the initiatives tab, SSM would create file:
/strategy/temp/pipadmin_print.htm
and then
/strategy/temp/pipadmin_print.pdf
Since a single user can only print one thing at a time, SSM overwrites these filenames. In your case the overwrite seems to be failing. Since the previous issue we saw with this was on a SQL database, there may be some slightly different procedures to go through for Oracle.
Thanks!
Bob

Many syncing and e-mail problems.

Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

Can someone explain 'Sync' and how it sends mail

I've lost a lot of emails
Heres the scenario. Between the hours of 9pm and 4pm (work days) I disable Sync and Email Sync. So lets start with MSN (others)
Its 9pm, I launch MSN (others) email application, I hit refresh one last time, then I go into settings, account settings etc etc and uncheck the box that says 'Sync Email'
Next since I have a google account I also go into settings and uncheck the box that says 'sync email'
Then so I can get the full battery life possible I pull down my notification menu and select all and uncheck the radio button that says 'Sync'...and that lasts from 9pm as I sleep...and my work shift is like 7am to 4pm (ish) and then I will re enable it all.
Now lets say at 10am I'm going thru twitter and theres an article thats a long one and I want to read it when I get off work....I hold down the tweet and see an option that says "Share", I select Gmail because I prefer reading it off of MSN (my choice!) anyways, I can go thru and select a lot of stuff and share it, by sending an email.
Now heres the thing....I know if I were to launch my MSN Mail at 10:05am I wont get it, duh! because I have Sync off right? So once I enable each of the emails' Sync Option and enabling the Device' Sync option....I then will receive the email or emails...which I do...every single time and by everytime I mean 10 emails sent by me, per day (ish) every day for over a month.
Now....heres my problem
I was viewing web pages...I chose Share....I chose send via MSN to GMail (odd I know)...but prior to enabling Sync I actually performed a Factory Reset on Device/Phone...so it was like a brand new phone...
However once I enabled Sync and refreshed a few times I havent received the emails nor am I finding it in the "drafts or sent folders"
So I ask....what is the proper steps my phone is taking that somehow sends these "ghost emails"
Heres my theory: I mean lets say I view a webpage; all sync's are disabled; I choose 'Share to this email address'...does my phone create a file on Devices Memory and its called "sendemail1togmail.mail" and if I choose to share another webpage it creates another file called "sendemail2togmail.mail" meanwhile those are temp files...kinda like temporary files when you are downloading a file off a webpage. (aka Partial)....then when you enable Sync on all of them...it searches for any .mail files off the device and thus sends it appropriately??????
If so; great where do the files get saved to? Because next time I'm either keeping sync on or I'll just copy the files to my SD card then I'll copy it back again
Because either way...I dont have the emails I sent
Thanks

sync doesn't send emails, only synchronizes between pc & phone.
yours is the goofiest way of syncing i've heard of.
i sync 4 email acc'ts, 2 are pop3, yahoo & gmail & they all work as you'd expect.

How do I get lost data back, after update sync all pictures, notes and mail lost

How do you get pictures, notes contacts and mail back, lost after update on IPhone5

Restore the backup that you made when you last synced your phone to iTunes on your computer. Alternatively, if you enabled iCloud backup on the phone, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
