Using Mac to Answer Iphone

Has anyone seen an application that will allow me to answer my I phone when I'm at my desk using my Mac's speakers and Microphone? This would be very helpful vs. wires headsets and bluetooth headsets.

iPhone doesn't allow 'talk-through' via Bluetooth (or any other means).

Using .mac alias on iphone

I would like to use one of my ,mac alias for my return mail on iphone. I try not to use my main .mac email to keep it safe from spammers ect. I see in the setting you can change the email address but I am not sure it is safe to change it to one of my alias' or not. Please let me know.
Thank you

There is no facility in the iPhone's mail settings to choose an alternate .mac alias.
Additionally, in the .mac mail account settings, there is only one place for entering an e-mail address.
You can do it manually, however.
1. Add a new account (Settings > Mail > Add Account... > Other
2. Make sure the IMAP tab is selected above
3. In the 'address' field, enter your complete alias address, including the '@mac.com'
4. For every instance of 'User Name' enter your main .mac username (no '@mac.com' necessary)
5. Incoming host name: mail.mac.com
6. Outgoing host name: smtp.mac.com
That's it! Tested and works 100% for me.

Using .mac aliases with iPhone

I have an alias email that I use as my primary....how do I embrace this on the iphone? I can receive emails to this alias but my reply seems to be with my account email....any thoughts?

I spent about 20-25 minutes trying to find a definitive solution to this question at work this evening. Here's what I've come up with...
You can only configure the .Mac account email to work with your primary account for sending/receiving on the device. Which means that even though I can receive alias messages, I can only send from the primary account.
I dispatched an email to .Mac support and waiting to hear, perhaps they might know or have verified this to be true as well.

Using mac mini and iphone 4

Hi,
I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with this as its beginning to drive me insane!! I have a mac mini 10.5.8 and an iphone 4 that I would really like to synchronize which I understand I have to do through icloud. But, from what I can see I need to be running Mountain Lion but cannot get that until I have Snow Leopard (which I cannot find where to download through the apple website!). I have upgraded my memory to 4GB which I hope is sufficient but just need someone to give me some instruction on what to do next. Any help really appreciated as I desperately need to synchronise my calendars!!

Hello, since I have no iPhone I was waiting for somebody else to answer, but I can answer it turns out after finally looking!
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account.

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

Using mac as iPhone Display

I have this future music magazine app: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id451416904?mt=8&affId=1621074&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 Its really nice... I can read a digital version of the magazine on my ios device at anytime i wish . The only problem is that the only ios device I have is my iphone... Well reading a magazine on iphone isnt that nice because of the screen size... For some reason they only have an ios app and not a Mac app... Wouldnt it be nice if i could just use my mac as a display or use mirroring on my iphone like i do on apple tv...? Is that possible?

He's going to have a problem...
iomega used to make something called the 'superhero'.

It would allow him to back up the photos and his contacts, but that's pretty much it.
Without a computer, it's either that or a cloud service.

iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

Want to use .mac instead of .me for email on iPhone, can't

Hi all - I recently had to delete my mail account on my phone and set it up again. After doing so, emails sent from the phone are now sent from .me, even though I set it up as .mac. I've used this address for years and it is attached to people I do business with, so switching it now is not desirable.
Here's what I did. Deleted and reset up the account, being sure to use .mac (as that's all I use). On the iPhone, in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> MobileMe, the account shows "[email protected] All seems clear. If I click in that, it shows Apple ID as "[email protected]" Again, good. Password is fine. However, below that, where it says Mail, it shows "[email protected]" If I then click on that to go one screen further, it shows my name and then in the address it shows "[email protected]" That, however, is grayed out and I cannot change it. Is there anyway to get this back? As it stands now, emails from home will come from .mac, but anything coming from my phone is .me. How can I get it back to sending from .mac?

How do i share 1 ical calendar between 2 macs and 2 iphones using mobile me?

i need one universal shared calendar to use between 2 macs and 2 iphones.
i'll explain what i need to do, since i am so confused.
we operate our company using 2 computers, an iMac & a macbook. we also have 2 iphones.
i want to be able to edit/add/delete events and to-do's in 1 shared calendar between all of them.
i do not want to have to sync ALL of our calendars as some of us have our personal calendars in iCal as well.
we have a mobileme account as well.
is there a way to do this?

My mac keeps telling me my apple ID and imessage is being used on a new iPhone, help? is this related to Yosemite?

My mac has popped up with these alerts twice now, one saying 'Your apple ID is now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.' followed by 'Your phone number is now being used for iMessage and facetime on a new iPhone.' what should I do?
I haven't got a new iPhone obviously and my current one is already been signed in and always has been, i tried changing my Apple ID password but the alerts came up again.
I recently updated to the OS X Yosemite update and have been having some isues with my wifi since then so I'm not sure if this could be related. I also had my last iPhone stolen about half a year ago but used the Track my iPhone on my cloud to set it so if it did become online it would be wiped, but obviously i am quite concerned.
Thanks!

After updating a while back, I got some false alerts myself but they were for devices I owned. In your case you might want to contact the Apple account security team and ask them their advice: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.

I have a macbook white (Snow leopard), just started using mac, Is there anyway we can use the Iphone Apps( downloaded from ITune) on Mac

I have a macbook white (Snow leopard), just started using mac, Is there anyway we can use the Iphone Apps( downloaded from ITune) on Mac, they are getting saved in Mobile applications and have ipa extension

The operating systems for iOS devices and for Macs are completely different. Applications written for iOS won't run on a Mac no matter what fiddles you try with it. You can sometime extract data by opening the package, but it still won't do you any good. Look in the Mac App Store in your Applications folder to see if there are Mac versions or similar programs (iTunes login required).

Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
Cheers, Paul
