  • Sync email, contacts & calendar on Live, iphone, PC

    I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
    it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
    other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.
    I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.
    I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
    sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?
    Can it be done? How?

    Google does not support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an IMAP account.
    Google does support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an Exchange account, but Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google.
    I have no idea about service interruptions with a Gmail account, but since Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google and still considered a Beta I believe, there are bound to be issues from time to time while Google gets the bugs worked out.
    The iPhone supports Push access for recieved messages with email account providers that provide/support Push access. The iPhone also supports Fetch access with an option for automatically checking for new messages every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or every hour. With an account that supports Push access, you can enable or disable Push access, automatically check the account for new messages, or manually check for new messages.
    Nothing personal, but what is the big deal about Push access for recieved messages? What sort of important email do you regularly recieve that must be pushed to the iPhone the instant the message is recieved at the incoming mail server - along with every other message the instant they are recieved at the incoming mail server? To each his/her own, but that would drive me nuts. Nothing I recieve via email is so important that it can't wait for the account to be automatically checked for new messages every 30 minutes (my setting), and I can always manually check the account for new messages in between the automatic check.
    Just trying to help you save what amounts to $8.33/mo with a MobileMe account. I haven't read about on-going regular problems with accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, and you can sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process at no additional expense. You won't have Push access for recieved messages when accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account, but I think you will get by A-OK having the account automatically checked for new messages along with being able to do a manual check in between the automatic check if you are expecting an email of significant importance.
    And in the interim, Google may get the bugs ironed out with accessing the account as an Exchange account which you can switch to when they do - still at no charge.

  • Syncing Question: Is it safe to sync email contacts on iPhone?

    Hi guys,
    I have just bought an iPhone which I intend to use for both work and personal stuff. I am wondering when I sync my mail accounts with iPhone, will I be actually exposing my personal email, phone number or any type of personal info to my work email contacts?
    I have synced Facebook contacts to iPhone and saw that some friends have whole lots of contact info exposed. That is why before I synced my work email contacts, can anyone explain if our personal things on our iPhone will be exposed to the synced email contacts we have on the same iPhone?
    For example: Can work email contacts (Gmail or Yahoo) see my personal Facebook profile photo since it is saved in my own contact list?
    Can work email contacts see my phone number when I reply from the iPhone?
    Basically any answers related to syncing safety will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
    I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
    If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

  • How can I sync email, contacts and calendar between computers and phones without a mobileme account?

    I recently added a macbook pro, ipad and imac to my work accounts and I'd like to be able to sync all of them together.  I believe the POP server that my company is using (small start-up) does not support this.  Basically, if I read email on the laptop, it does not show as read on the imac or my iphone.  If I send a message from one, it does not show up on the other devices.
    I figure there has to be a solution - it's driving me crazy basically having email in 3 different locations and none of it matches.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

  • Sync Email, Contacts, Calendar

    Hi Guys
    I got really different answers about my qestion, and really need to get the correct answer please.
    Is the iphone able to sync the exchange with the webaccess, and get email, contacts and calendar ?
    I don't mean through Itune, i mean using my internet access point for my provider, like simple push email service.
    I saw video on you tube explaining that, but i would like to know is that possible now, or this is next software upgrade for the mobile.
    here is the video link
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5mGnAwgRkw
    Kindly assist me if you are sure about the info, and let me know, when i get the iphone what i need to do to get my outlook on it as explained on the video, do i need software update or any thing.
    Appreciate your support.

    Hey Flame,
    You are referring to the iPhone SDK, more information is available here:

  • Syncing email, contacts and calendars

    Feeling a little overwhelmed with my problem as a recent Mac convert. Have tried to do research on this issue but have had no luck finding a solution that works for me. Not entirely sure this question is in the right category but here goes:
    I have a personal gmail account and a home-business email through a domain. I am running MS Outlook 2011 on my Mac Book Air and using a Blackberry Bold 9900.
    I want my Outlook and Bold to sync with my emails, contacts and calendars seemlessly. They are not. I have had nothing but problems with contacts that are entered in my BB then don't show up in Outlook. Or calendar invitations that are quadrupled in my BB because I added it to Outlook.
    Does anyone have an elegant solution so that everything syncs between everything without dropping items or duplication?

    Funny (not ha ha)....I've been working a similar situation for a few years now.  I'm an IT guy, and my goal years ago was to sync my calendar and contacts with EVERY device I have (work outlook, home outlook (on 3 different systems) and whatever phone I've got).  Apple had a GREAT answer.... their MobileMe solution.  Was supposed to be great - a single place to sync everything together, BUT it didn't work right.  So much that I ran from it when it would refuse to change things on just about any device.  It would actually put all my contacts back if I attempted to delete them all.  weird....finally dumped it.
    So....round 2.
    I started using my work Outlook (exchange) as my 'master', changing that, and letting all other devices be slave.
    This worked for awhile, but got taxing to try and update from a single source.  I would archive my data on a regular basis ' just in case'.
    Anyway....after multiple device changes, etc.  Here's where I'm at today - and working VERY well:
    I sync all my devices with my work Outlook (Exchange).  <---- key in this effort.
    All my devices Outlook (exchange) at work, Outlook at home Windows (XP or 7 desktop), Windows laptop,  MacBook Air (running SL, and now Lion), iPod touch, iPad, HP Touchpad and an iPhone. (I was Windows phone before and no difference).   I've used 3 different windows phones, and now 3 different iphones.  I can change data anywhere, on any device, and everything updates within a couple of minutes, since everydevice syncs with the master, the master updates and sends out to all other devices.
    Now, for Blackberry, that would depend on if you sync wirelessly through a BES Server.  If you do, again, everything would be the same and wirelessly sync everywhere.
    If you sync using the desktop manager - makes it tougher, but still should work fine - it's just there is a time/entry delay because you can only change data you change on your BB with the rest of the network when you sync manually via cable (not the best solution). I did that for a few years, before smartphones hit the market.  I used to used a Palm, or HP iPaq and would sync wired.  What a pain.
    This new solution has worked for me for a few years...very happy, and the end device shouldn't matter.
    I'd like to hear more detail on what exactly isn't working.
    Cheers.

  • BB10 sync email, contacts, calendar

    While I am waiting for Verizon to get their act together, I am re-evaluating my email, calendar, contact syncing.  This seems to be a major issue on the forums.
    I presently use gmail and want to use a different system as I am becoming more dissatisfied with their system.
    I own two web addresses.  I would like to stay web-based such as gmail.  But I want to sync with my Playbook, Z10 when I get it, and the future web-based system.
    I have no problems paying for a reliable system.
    What should I be looking at?  Keep the outline simple as I am a simpleton.
    thks

       I use web based emails for my personal stuff and I find Gmail is the  leader in this.  With the new Gmail/Google chrome for example , all your Bookmarks (favorites) follow you no matter where you log in using a google browser or which device.      There are so many user preference interfaces coming it's mind boggling.   They know way too much !
      Outlook.com and Yahoo.com are following but way behind.  Yahoo has not even woke up yet actually.   Google and the Android operating system are so married it's rediculous yet I can see the benefits if you don't mind being tracked. 
    Don't take life too seriously, You will never get out of it alive! ,

  • Syncing email contacts from pc?

    i have tried sever ways to do this but no luck so far!
    I use windows live mail on my pc using btinternet. I cannot export my contacts to ipad tho1 I have tried exporting them as a csv file to desktop & emailing that to myself but the ipad will not open the file!
    Is the only way to manually type in each email address into the contacts program on ipad?
    seems bizarre they didnt make an easy way to do this?

    Sure it does. It tells you exactly how to sync content from your computer to your iPad. The specific supported applications for contacts from Windows are listed under "Additional Information". More information can be found in the iPad User's Guide, a link to which can be found at the bottom of that page or bookmarked in Safari on your iPad.

  • Exchange Calendar Won't Sync, Email & Contacts Sync Fine

    I have a new 3GS and I set it up on my company Exchange server. Mail syncs fine. Contacts sync fine. My Calendar, however, won't sync to the phone at all. Not one single event. I've turned sync off and then back on, no luck. I've reset the phone, no joy. I've cleaned up all my old recurring appointments thinking maybe that would be the fix, nope. So far nothing I have tried will get the Calendar items to sync. What would allow the mail and contacts to sync just fine but prevent the calendar from working? Thanks!

    I finally resolved this issue. I opened the calendar in outlook on my PC. I went to View>Current View>Categories. I expanded the list (click on the little "+" sign to expand) and then deleted EVERY entry. Some were current, but most were expired, and some went back to 2007. As soon as I deleted all of these entries, that basically wiped my Exchange calendar clean. There had to have been some corrupt entries in their that were preventing calendar sync, because once I cleared out all the entries, I sent myself a meeting request and it showed up instantly on the iPhone. All is right in the world again. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

  • How do I Sync Email with BES and Calendar-Contacts-Tasks-Notes with BDS?

    I have a Storm that I sync with our BES just for email and I want to sync my calendar, contacts, etc.. with the Blackberry Desktop Software.  First I was only able to sync my contacts... not my calendar.  Second, everytime I sync I lose my ability to send and receive email from my Storm and have to have our BES admin resend my service books to me so I can sebd abd receuve email again.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

    Did you install the desktop manager in blackberry enterprise or blackberry internet mode? I'm guessing it might be the latter, and it could be changing your servicebooks because of that... If it is installed for blackberry internet service, try removing it and installing it for blackberry enterprise service (this is a choice during installation).

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
    Ron

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • My iCloud for windows is syncing email and notes with my MS Outlook 2013 on windows 8 but NOT contacts and calendar

    Dear, I have downloaded and installed iCloud for windows and see that a user has been auto setup in my MS Outlookvia imap. I can now sync email and notes.I cannot sync icloud contacts and calendar with my MS Outlook, can you help me with this?

    iCloud hosts the calendars on its server and your various computers read them from there. The protocol for doing this is called CalDAV.
    Outlook for Mac has not been equipped with the programming for CalDAV and therefore cannot access iCloud calendars. Outlook for Windows evidently has and can.
    This is something only Microsoft can rectify and you could send them feedback suggesting they do this with all convenient speed.
    Outlook on a Mac can only access calendars living under 'On My Mac' and these cannot sync with iCloud. iCal can sync with iCloud provided you have 1-.7.2 or higher.

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

  • Sync Email To Contacts

    Hi, recently i security wiped my phone , which means everything in my phone got deleted . luckally i have blackberry protect.. i restored my phone from a previous backup point and regained some of my contacts. i also called my service provider and had them set up my email for my phone .. the only problem i am currently having is that everytime i do a battery pull or my phone resets i lose my recent messages and contacts.. also i cant synce my contacts with my email .. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !!

    Hi keriabby,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
    Before restoring your backup, I would try registering in the Host Routing Table then testing for the issue by sending yourself some new messages and adding a few contacts manually and pulling your battery to make sure they are no longer being removed. http://bbry.lv/pTiRCV
