When using iCloud Mail with a laptop and smartphone, how do I delete an e-mail from one without deleting it from the other?

I recently have started using iCloud for Mail on both my laptop (MacBookPro, OSX 10.8.5) and my smartphone (iPhone4, iOS7.1.1). 
I understand that with iCloud mail is stored in the cloud.  Is there a way of erasing a message from either the laptop or the smartphone while leaving it on the other?  How?

Hi jeagle7,
iCloud uses a form of IMAP for mail, meaning that by default, the mail should appear the same on any device accessing the account, and anything done to the mail (such as deleting it) should apply to all devices. If you like, you may want to make a local copy of the mail prior to deleting it; the following article may be helpful:

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Has any one come up with a solution to the "the disk was not ejected properly" when using time machine with an iMac and seagate back up drive?

    I recently bought an iMac and love it.
    Only proplem I have is I keep getting an error message "the disk was not ejected properly"
    Everything is backing up fine on my Seagate 2TB external USB drive.
    Each time there is access on the seagate and it stops in between needing to back up again I get this message.
    Can anyone help?

    The drive is malfunctioning.
    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, it has to be replaced. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

  • Stored procedure to insert into multiple tables in sql server 2012, using id col from one table to insert into the other 2

    Hi all,
    Apologies if any of the following sounds at all silly but I am fairly new to this so here goes...
    I have 3 tables that require data insertion at the same time. The first table is the customers table, I then want to take the automatically generated custid from that table and inser it into 2 other tables along with some other data
    Here's what I have so far which does not work:
    CREATE PROCEDURE CustomerDetails.bnc_insNewRegistration @CustId int,
    @CompanyName varchar(100),
    @FirstName varchar(50),
    @LastName varchar(50),
    @Email nvarchar(254),
    @HouseStreet varchar(100),
    @Town smallint,
    @County tinyint,
    @Postcode char(8),
    @Password nvarchar(20)
    AS
    BEGIN
    begin tran
    insert into CustomerDetails.Customers
    (CompanyName, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress)
    Values (@CompanyName, @FirstName, @LastName, @Email)
    set @CustId = (select CustId from inserted)
    insert into CustomerDetails.Address
    (CustomerId, HouseNoAndStreet, Town, County, PostCode)
    values (@CustId, @HouseStreet, @Town, @County, @Postcode)
    insert into CustomerDetails.MembershipDetails
    (CustomerId, UserName, Password)
    values (@CustId, @Email, @Password)
    commit tran
    END
    GO
    If anyone could help with this I would very much appreciate it as I am currently building an online store, if there's no registration there's no customers.
    So to whom ever is able to help, I thank you whole heartedly :)

    I hope by now it is apparent that statements like "doesn't work" are not particularly helpful. The prior posts have already identified your first problem.  But there are others.  First, you have declared @CustID as an argument for your
    procedure - but it is obvious that you do not expect a useful value to be supplied when the procedure is executed.  Perhaps it should be declared as an output argument so that the caller of the procedure can know the PK value of the newly inserted customer
    - otherwise, replace it with a local variable since it serves no purpose as an input argument.
    Next, you are storing email twice.  Duplication of data contradicts relational theory and will only cause future problems. 
    Next, I get the sense that your "customer" can be a person or a company.  You may find that using the same table for both is not the best approach.  I hope you have constraints to prevent a company from having a first and last name (and
    vice versa).
    Next, your error checking is inadequate.  We can only hope that you have the appropriate constraints to prevent duplicates.  You should expect failures to occur, from basic data errors (duplicates, null values, inconsistent values) to system issues
    (out of space).  I'll leave you with Erland's discussion for more detail:
    erland - error handling.
    Lastly, you should reconsider the datatypes you are using for the various bits of information.  Presumably town and county are foreign keys to related tables, which is why they are numeric.  Be careful you don't paint yourself into a corner with
    such small datatypes.  One can also debate the wisdom of using a separate tables for Town and County (and perhaps the decision to limit yourself to a particular geographic area with a particular civic hierarchy). Password seems a little short to me. 
    And if you are going to use nvarchar for some strings, you might as well use it for everything - especially names.  Also, everyone should be security conscious by now - passwords should be encrypted at the very least.
    And one last comment - you really should allow 2 address lines. Yes, two separate ones and not just one much larger one.

  • HT2731 I have 2 apple iPods on the same account, And they have the Same songs on them. How can I get a new account for one of them but not the other? Can I wipe the memory of 1? How would I do that?

    I have 2 iPods one I don't use anymore. I would like to make a new account for one but not the other. Is that possible? If I wipe the memory in one will the other wipe out too? How can I do all of this?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • Anybody use Canon ZR950 with Mac Laptop and Final Cut Express

    I just bought a Canon ZR950 Mini-DV camera and have been eyeing up a new MacBook Pro for editing video of my new baby (12 days to go). I'm wondering if anybody has had success with that model camera and FCE. Would I movie do the trick or is FCE that much better?
    Also - would the 256mb video card model w/ the 15" display be okay?
    Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time!!!!

    I have my old Mac listed as my current computer (I use it to record music as it does exactly what I need). I've been looking at the new MacBook pro - wouldn't that work?
    If not - which new Mac should I buy?

  • I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs.  How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

    I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro.  How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc?  When I "select all" it grabs the entire document.  I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

    HI djlarp,
    Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
    If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can I link folders in the Bookmarks Menu and the Bookmarks Toolbar so that an addition or deletion from one will show up in the other?

    It seems as if these two lists - the Toolbar list and the Menu list - operate independently. Is that correct? I'm using Windows 7.

    Immediately backup your whole Firefox profile.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    You will have over written your bookmarks database and it may be difficult to recover. You may at least have backups of bookmarks that are still usable but that is why you must back up the profile.
    Create a new additional test profile using the profile manager. Next test the bookmarks from your backup restoring them into Firefox whilst open with and using the new test profile. If one of those backups works you should be able to restore that into your ordinary Firefox profile.
    You may need to delete the database places.sqlite to get working bookmarks. But rename it rather than delete it as it is then easier to reverse. Note if you do need to delete the places database you will lose your Firefox History.
    There is an alternative strategy but again ensue the profile is backedup. And in this case also backup separately places.sqlite before any recovery attempt.
    The Windows OS should try to keep previous copies of Files and it is possible that you will have a usable previous copy of ''places.sqlite'' that may be recovered by options available from right clicking the current version.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to connect the iPod to the PC and sync it to get the songs in the device. You will only get your music in your iPod automatically if you have purchased your songs in the iTunes Store and Automatic Downloads are enabled in your iPod

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Why do I get a stall every few minutes with a "Pages unresponsive" error frame when using iCloud e-Mail?

    Friends:  Has anyone heard or seen a suggestion from any source on how to eliminate the several minute stall every several minutes when using iCloud E-Mail through any browser (Safari, IE-11, Chrome) on any Microsoft OS (WIN-8.1, WIN-7-SP1, WIN-XP)?  I've seen several other folks express frustration but have seen no actionable replies.
    Thanks,  George

    Absolutely no one posted a reply or suggestion in over a month.  Not even one.  So, I'm abandoning this query.
    If someone in posterity sees this post, please don't reply because it will not be monitored.
    Thanks anyway - GeorgeIP

  • Using Mail with both pop and imap accounts

    I have a Q to better understand how the Mail app. works in Lion so there is better coordination among my devices and mail = I'd like to lay out how it is now set up and see whether or not I'm right about how to handle them - and how to do things better.
    1.  I have a .mac account and no problems with it = if I read and delete on iPhone it deletes off iPad and computer fine.
    2.  I have an email account that is an IMAP account but at another host [I use Mail to get email from it] - so what I think happens is that it's sort of the same thing but operating on that other host as an IMAP so that the same thing happens more or less - email comes in on all 3 devices and when I delete from one it deletes from others = but maybe not as fast because it's going thru the Mail intermediary.  My need/wish is to use one email program [Mail] to get all my mail and that's why this and others all go thru Mail.
    3.  I have a 3rd account that is a POP account and can't be made IMAP because of the nature of the plan/host - in that I've noticed that I'll have 100 messages on my main computer and delete 75 of them but the 100 are still left on the iPhone and iPad = so far I don't do much about it but I hope/assume I'm right to think that if I know I've read and dealt with the 100 messages that if I want to I can just delete them all quickly off the iPhone or iPad...I'm not sure how to handle a Pop account to minimize all the hassle.
    Does this seem like the right way to go or is there a better way to manage these 3 diff. accounts ???  I noticed some of the problem when I checked Mail on my iPad and saw there were loads of old emails 'unread' on it that I had dealt with on my computer so I knew things were out of whack.
    Last thought = I do go to Synchronize all Accounts from time to time but really don't notice it makes a difference but maybe I don't understand tht either.
    thanks much

    Okay, it just fixed itself without me doing anything, or even quitting the program again. It still seems like a bug.

  • Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

    Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

    tammersalem wrote:) <-HDMI-> (HDTV)
    My main concerns are:
    -If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
    -If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
    -Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
    Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
    Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
    AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
    If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
    Data will travel:
    NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
    As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
    If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
    You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
    The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
