Sync mail on iPhone and MacBook with Shaw internet

Shaw provides my internet connection and I can't sync the mail function on my iPhone and MacBook using their pop server. All of the incoming messages are delivered to both the iPhone and MacBook, but if I delete or file an email on one device, I would like it to do the same on the other as well. Does anyone know of a work around for this? The Shaw support site doesn't help and the Apple phone support didn't know hoiw to resolve this either.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked with Shaw here in Victoria, BC. They don't have an IMAP service and their Exchange server only works on mobile devices. They are working on upgrades to their Exchange server but their customer support guy indicated that it could be several months before they are completed. So anybody in Western Canada that gets their internet from Shaw is out of luck for a while. The only solution for now is that you have to delete on both devices and any filing you do won't sync either.

Sync Mail between iPhone and Macbook?

I'm brand new to Macs. I typically read my emails from the Mail app on my iphone. However, when I open Mail on my macbook, all of those emails that I've already opened are marked as unread. Does anyone know how I can sync my phone and computer so that everything I open on one device is open on the other device?

You need an IMAP account.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
For received messages with a POP account, there is option to not remove the messages from the server when downloaded by each email client used to access the account. With the Mail.app on a Mac, this is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences. There is a Never option for POP account preferences with the iPhone's Mail client.
You can email this message with an attachment to yourself to be received by the Mail.app on your Mac after selecting Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select the POP account.
Select Advanced for the account settings.
Under the Incoming Settings section, select Never for delete from server.

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.

If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
Thanks

That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

Issues with iCloud - syncing Notes between iPhone and Macbook

Why won't my Notes sync between my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my iPhone 5? The iPhone and the Macbook Pro are both linked to the same account, iCloud is turned on on both, and I've tried signing in and out of iCloud.com, but it doesn't seem to work.

First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Problems with Syncing Mail between iPad and MacBook

The mail between my iPod Touch and MacBook used to sync themselves perfectly. If I got a piece of mail on one device and looked at it or deleted it, it wouldn't show up on the other device. It was like both devices could access the same mailbox and not confuse messages with one another. I loved that!!
This is not the case with my iPad. I'll get a piece of mail on my iPad, open it and/or archive it, and then it'll show up on my MacBook's mail as a brand new, unopened message...
How can I fix this? Surely there must be some sort of solution...
If it matters, this is a GMail account, and I'm using an iPad 2 (16 GB, WiFi)

I think i have found how to solve the problem. I went into address book preferences and i noticed i didn't have icloud enabled here. As long as i use icloud contacts rather than 'on my mac' contacts it now seems to delete and add across the 2 devices. Many thanks

Problem syncing ical on iphone and macbook pro

Hi,
After downloading ios8 I have noticed that I have problems syncing my calendars to and from my phone and computer. I have tried a variety of solutions:
1) I have turned "on" the sync button on the phone under settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> icloud -> calender "on"
2) I have checked the box under system preferences in the macbook under iCloud -> calender "on"
3) I have tried deleting both from the computer and the phone and then reloading them.
I'm out of ideas. I deleted a lot of things to make room for ios8 on my phone, so I am wondering if I disabled something or prevented syncing then, because it has been happening for about ~2 weeks since I downloaded the new software. Any ideas?

First make sure the events are being added to your iCloud calendar and not a non-iCloud calendar such as On My Mac, On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, an exchange account, etc.
If you are and they still aren't syncing, the first step is to determine if the issue is with your phone or your Mac. Add a new calendar event on each one, then check your calendar on iCloud.com to see which one doesn't appear there.
If the event from your phone doesn't appear on iCloud.com, try force-closing the calendar app and resetting your phone. To do this, double-tap the home button, locate Calendar, swipe up on it to close it, then tap the home button again. Then reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. After it restarts, test your calendar again. If it still isn't syncing, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud. Then sign back in (your data will download back to your phone) and test your calendar again.
If the even from your Mac doesn't appear on iCloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac). Then test your calendar again.

How do I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks. I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable.
My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one. I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling. But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads. I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked. What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes. Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone). Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same. Will have to see what happens. I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process. Hope this helps with your problem also.

Syncing Contacts between iPhone and Macbook

I recently added contacts on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. However, the new contacts placed on the iPhone won't sync to the address book contacts and the contacts on my Macbook won't sync to my iPhone. How can I go about resolving this problem?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

Wrong contact picture in Mail (both iPhone and MacBook)

Hi all,
Something strange is going on in Mail. On my MacBook I see my moms picture instead of mine, e-mail address and name are correct though. On my iPhone, I however see my mother's name and when I click on it, I get linked through to my mother's contact card.
Does anyone know what is going on and how I can solve this? Read some things about Time Machine messing things up but don't know what I can do to solve this.
Kind regards,
Isabella

Thank you for the reply, Golden Shoes!
Well, it's a bit of a disappointing answer considering one of the major things that made change to a Mac is that nothing is impossible, you just have to figure it out!
I suppose there must be a way to edit the template according to which the mail messages are printed... Isn't there a field or option in some configuration file that you can change to solve this?

ICal doesn't sync between my iphone and macbook pro

It takes several hours for my iCal entries to show up on my iPhone, and yet many entries are still incorrectly identified by color (not picking up edits from laptop on iPhone). My iPhone is set to push updates every 15 minutes, and my laptop .Mac preference is to update automatically. Even when I plug in to laptop and sync in iTunes, it does not update iCal from my laptop to my iPhone.
The Apple store geniuses completely replaced my MobileMe account a few weeks ago since they could not get my laptop & iPhone to sync and hadn't been since I opened the account last summer (apparently neither were talking to the cloud). Compared to not working at all, it synced much better after that, though inconsistently and with delay. Help me!!

On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon. Turn on iCloud.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
One of the services is ICal.

Yahoo mail on Iphone and Macbook Pro

Can any one tell me why yahoo! Mail would work on my Iphone and not my new mac book?
The new mail app for OS 10.5.6 should be ready for Yahoo! .
I spent $3000+ why cant it work Every where on the web is saying (Maybe pay for yahoo?, Or get MobileMe.)
All i want is an answer I don't want another E-mail My yahoo Does ALL I want!. Every one i know has mine so don't want the hassle to change it just want to know how to fix it?
Its the same problem everyone's is having!
What do I Do????

Hey there Aspen318
Same issue... but I managed to fix it. I'll try to explain it, if in doubt do ask questions.
Add the yahoo account on to your "Mail" and continue ignoring all the messages that say 'unable to connect'. On the last popping window you will be asked if you want to put the account online/ offline (does'n matter) despite all the 'unable' messages... You do that! Hopefully your yahoo account should be on on the Mail platform, even though is not yet running.
Go to Mail preferences (top bar, top left ). A new window popped out. From the top bar of the new window select ' Accounts' and if you have more accounts there make sure you select the yahoo one. Once selected you should have 7 text boxes , and one check box:
Box 1 Description: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 2 Email adress: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 3 Full name: Your Name (e.g. John Smith)
Box 4 Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Box 5 User name: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 6 Password : Type in your yahoo password
Box 7 Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Click it, and then click on Edit server list... Again if you have more accounts make sure you select the yahoo one in the new window. Yo will then see 2 text windows:
Box A) Description Keep that one blank, if there is something in there, just delete it
Box B) Server name : smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
After all this is done, press ok and close all opened windows, including the 'Mail'.
Last bit is to open 'Mail' and click the Get Mail button on top left corner...
Good luck, let me know how you got on.

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Syncing audiobook between iPhone and MacBook

Hello,
is it somehow possible to sync the current position of an audiobook between MacBook and iPhone?
E.g. if I listen to an audiobook on my MacBook and want to continue on my iPhone I need a way to sync the current time.
Does anyone know, if there's a way?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.
