Trouble configuring hotmail on iPhone 4s
I have a hotmail account, with MS Outlook, through Century Link ISP. After I set up the account on my new iPhone 4s (using the Hotmail option for adding an account), I discovered that deleting emails on the phone deleted the emails from the server as well. Doing some checking on-line, I read that you could select the Advanced option, and then specify "never" delete emails on the server. However, my hotmail account on the iPhone doesn't have an Advanced option. I talked to Apple support, deleted the account and re-added it using the Other option (vs. Hotmail). I was then able to see the Advanced option. However, I no longer have the option to Sync calendars, contacts or reminders. The Apple support rep. couldn't explain why the Advanced option didn't appear on the Hotmail-established account, and when I talked to the tech rep at the ISP, he couldn't explain either.
I wonder if it has anything to do with having Outlook. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry, I thought that was what you wanted. This will always happend with IMAP and exchange accounts. Only POP accounts have the option to keep messages on the server after you download them to your inbox. (Actually, they don't sync at all...they just send the email to your inbox and then delete it from the server unless you set it not to.) You would have to set it up as a POP account, and then if the incoming setting to never delete from server isn't there try going to the Hotmail webmail site and log into your account. You might be able to set it there.

Having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. Anybody could help me?
I am having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. I've been trying to do the configuration 10-15 times now and still, it doesn't work. Anybody could help me please!!
I don't see SIMYO anywhere on the list of supported carriers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Unless you're talking about a carrier on this list, you're going to have to work it out with them. It's possible their network is just not compatible. They are definitely not a supported carrier. -

Does anyone know what the outgoing/incoming mail settings are for Hotmail Plus. I know I can do this because I had it on my Blackberry. Any help would be appreciated.
You can configure Hotmail to work on the iPhone. It's working great on mine!! You have to upgrade to a Hotmail Plus account (although, apparently they will be offering POP3 on free accounts, as well, sometime within the next year). It sounds like POP3 on the paid Hotmail accounts is something that was just "officially" enabled last week. I found an official announcement from one of the Lead PMs for Hotmail - take a look, here:

I just upgraded my Hotmail account to Hotmail Plus yesterday and now my mail works from my iPhone (it was not working yesterday before I upgraded my account). Here are the iPhone mail settings I am using successfully (the email addresses and passwords are just examples, of course):
Account: On
*Account Information:*
Name: John Smith (note: enter your own name)
Address: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Description: Hotmail
*Incoming Mail Server:*
Host Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):*
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Advanced Settings:*
Incoming Uses SSL: On
Outgoing Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox (or your preferred option)
That's it - I hope everything works for you, as well. Good luck!

How to use FREE hotmail on iPhone
As most people know, Hotmail and iPhone do not play well together. The truth is that Microsoft does not allow email applications (i.e. Mail on Mac, Mail on iPhone, Mozilla Thunderbird) to access the POP servers unless you get Hotmail Plus service for $20 a year.
If you got that, great, if not, read on.
Izymail @ http://v3.izymail.com/ provides a free workaround to get Hotmail onto your iPhone just like Yahoo!, AOL, or Gmail works.
Visit the site and click the big blue word that says "iPhone". It gives you ALL the instructions with step by step pictures on how to set it up.
Again, if you missed it. It is free! They do not ask for credit card information. There are more features you can add with a paid membership, but you honestly do not need those. If you find yourself in an area where they are asking for payment, you've gone to deep.
I've used it for months with no issues. Works great.
I do want to make people aware that you are providing them with your password. It is required for the service to work. If you have confidential information that could lead to identity theft, it is recommended that you do not use this service. After months of service, I have never noticed anything suspicious when it comes to my hotmail account. If you do, simply change your hotmail password and all is well.
Also, if you do not wish to hurt Microsoft's feelings, do not use this service. They will be losing out on $20 a year, what a shame. Honestly though, if you feel this service steps over your "moral boundaries", then skip out and I'm sorry for suggesting it.Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer. -

Trouble deleting music off Iphone
I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.
Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right. There is a box to the left of every song. If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone. To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it. When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right. When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

Im having trouble backing up my iphone 4 to icloud
Im having trouble backing up my iphone 4 to icloud, anyone have any suggestions how i can fix this? I have tried resetting all the settings on my iphone but nothing works
If you get the message "Backup not successful", I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup. If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup. Keep doing that until the backup works. Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail. For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.
