There are two standard protocols for receiving email, POP and IMAP. In the POP (Post Office Protocol) when messages are "read" by your email client (Mail) they are downloaded and stored on the reading computer and deleted from the POP server. When you are using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) the messages remain on the IMAP server until they are deleted. IMAP was created for exactly the situation you are trying to achieve. For example Apple's iCloud (formerly me.com, formerly mac.com) uses IMAP protocol. So whether I access my email on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad, or via webmail I have access to all the files in all the various mailboxes automatically because they are all seeing and using the same online mailboxes. If I delete a message on any of the varioius devices it is deleted on all of the various devices.
Whether you can use IMAP protocol or not depends on your email host and whether they have an IMAP server or not. Many ISPs do not offer IMAP because they do not want to bear the expense of the additional disk space required to store the IMAP messages. As I mentioned before Apple's free email service is by default IMAP. Google Mail offers a somewhat non-standard IMAP service. It works with Apple's email client, Mail, but it is just a bit "different".
Personally I resisted using IMAP for years. Largely because I had always used POP and was comfortable with it. Once I got an iPhone and needed to synch my email between my computer and iPhone I realized IMAP was "the only way to go."

Yes - via iTunes on your computer.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad name under devices. Click on the Summary Tab in the iTunes window on the right and then click on Check for Update.

I was wondering if it's possible to have a welcome package sent out to me?.. (More info inside)

Hi there,
We recently acquired the CC package for our team. I noticed, I did not fill in my address at the time of registration (done now) and so did not receive the welcome package that my colleagues got. I was wondering if it's possible to have one sent out for me too?
Kind Regards,
Chris

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

Is it possible to sync the iphone with my company's email server

Is it possible to sync the iphone with my company's email server (Novell Groupwise)? I have the option of getting a blackberry or iphone. I want the iphone, but I also want to be able to sync it with my work email since I am away from the office a lot. I know I need to contact the IT department, but I thought I would try here to see what experiences people had with this sistuation. Thanks.

Depends on what protocols they will allow (or can). If they open up POP or better yet IMAP access, then yes, sure. It is all about the protocols available to you (them). Though note, the iPhone checks on an interval where the Blackberry has emails pushed to it. So with iPhone, the min interval time is 15mins.

I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the new Apple iPhone 5 is $600 AUD/US more expensive in Australia than the US??? Please explain somebody?

I was wondering if anybody can tell me why the Apple IPhone 5 is $600 US/AUD more expensive in Australia than in the US!
thanks

Thanks for the reply - I still know that this issue is also relevant for so many other apple products which don't involve cellular providers.... I think Australians are tired of paying so much more for things than in the US and other countries. It used to be explained by the poor Australian dollar but that doesnt exactly work when we are over parity with the US dollar and have been for a while now....

If it's a manufacturing defect, yes it would be covered.

I'm a singer wondering if it's possible to change the key to a backing (song)? Eg. A key convertor?

Even if that is true (and I am almost 100% positive that it is not true), you're talking about getting a warrant and going through a lot of legal channels, plus you'd have to show probable cause that information on the device would be helpful in solving a case, and even then, only the information relevant to the case would be available.
For this family's situation, there is no viable option. Let's not falsely raise hopes by arguing semantics and technicalities.
Can you even support that claim with any documentation? That Apple has the ability and/or performs that service at all?

Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
You may download the product from

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 750gb 7200rpm hitachi hard drive in a late 2008 MacbookPro

Hi everyone,
I find the speed and space in my macbook pro is not enough for me anymore. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Hitachi 750gb/7200rpm hard drive? I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro (15 inch, 2.93 ghz C2D, 4gb ram) running osx Lion and was wonder about compatibility with said drive.
Thanks,
Kevin

I am wondering if it is possible to add the greek language in the spelling tool

I am wondering if it is possible to add the greek language in the spelling tool of iPages
Thank you in advance

Mac OS X uses the OpenOffice spell modules, so download the spell dic from OO site, you will get a file of the type name.oxt, change extension to .zip, confirm, then move the Library/spelling the two files named .aff and .dic. Then, go to Pages or any other cocoa app (TextEdit etc.) and choose Greek as spell language. See attachment.

Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro? I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer. Of course this isn't always the desirable solution. You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome.
Of possible relevance:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music." - e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads?

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads? I have 23 iPads and I want to have all the folders match for easier access for students.

Here is a possibkle workaround, assuming the iPads are all starting out with the same initial content on them:
Backup that iPad to each computer you will be using. Then restore from the backup (only takes a couple minutes). Then rename the other 22 iPads.
