With icloud, if i delete emails on one device, shouldn't they be deleted on my other devices?

I have 2 IPads and an IPhone all hooked up with icloud. If I delete emails from one device, shouldn't they be deleted from all 2 devices?

Yes ... they would be deleted from all devices ... IF ...
You are using an iCloud email account. Simply having iCloud turned on on each of your devices is not enough. You must also be using the iCloud email account to achieve this behavior.

I just moved to iCloud and now my email is not working on my non compatible MacBook, but all other devices seem to be working.

I have several Apple products, some eligible for iCloud and some not. I was using MobileMe and elected to keep my email address after June 30. I moved to iCloud and everything seems to be working except for my MacBook that couldn't be upgraded to Lion so not eligible for iCloud. Now my email doesn't work on that machine. What's wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

HT204150 I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back?

It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers.

Can you sync thunderbird email between several computers so if you delete an email on one computer in thunderbird it also deletes it out of the other computers it syncs with? I have three computers I use daily in different location and have thunderbird on each computer. I find it time consuming to have to repeatedly delete the same emails from each location. I am thinking that by leaving the emails on the server and not downloading them in each computer would solve this. Is my assumption here correct? If not? How would you set up Tbird to sync?

If you set up your email account(s) as IMAP instead of POP3, then each computer / smart phone can view the mail, but if any of them delete a message (or move it to another folder on the server), the same action will be seen on the other computers.

Is there a way to delete emails on one device that will transfer to all my devices so I don't have to delete the same emails off all my devices??

Go to the mailbox tab in the Mail application and selecting "synchronize iCloud". Whenever you delete mail from one of your devices it will automatically delete from the others--within iCloud.

I have a MAC desktop, an iPhone and an iPad. I have my email set up to go to all 3, because I use them for all different purposes. How can I cut down on the duplication of emails. I want to delete them for one spot and not have them go to the other 2.

If I delete emails from my phone, why do they still go to my iPad and desktop and vice versa? What's the solution to this, other than not getting the emails in 3 places?

I think the best solution would to just sync all email accounts and turn on and off which accounts you want on a device by going to Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars>name of e-mail account>toggle Mail On/Off switch.
I do not own multiple iDevices (maybe one day I will), try that and see if it works.

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll. I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change. My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone. Any ideas?

Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.

I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone. However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices. The calendar seems to be working. Any suggestions?

On the iMac and MacBook open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts, then reselect it then restart the Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then restart the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Hello, when deleting emails, how do I change from "archive" to " delete"?

When deleting emails, how do I change from "archive" to "delete"? Thank you!

I assume that it's a gmail account ? If you select the account on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then on the popup tap on Account and then Advanced you should be set whether emails are deleted or archived : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207

I have pictures on my iPad and they are backed up on my icloud, if I delete them off of my iPad, will they be deleted or stored on my icloud

The only photos backed up up on iCloud is your Camera Roll when you run iCloud Backup and they can't be accessed without restoring your whole devices.
Photo Stream is not a backup. It is a sync tool.
Photo Stream only holds 30 days of photos on the server and 1000 photos on your iOS device.
To keep them safe, all your photos should be transfered to your computer and backed up.
Once they are safely on your computer, then delete them from your iPad.

I want pictures from each device in the cloud, but not on every other device. Possible? "iCloud Backup" alone doesn't seem to work....

My goal is to acheive 3 of the following things.:
Have all my apple devices sync pictures to the icloud *without* syncing the pictures on all the devices...so just one direction from device to cloud and not have all the devices insync from the cloud...... I don't want all the devices in sync, I just want the pictures protected in the cloud. To do this, I've tried to just turn on "icloud bacn-up" and not turn on "photo stream" to acheive this, but doesn't seem to work.
If #1 is possible, then I would like to sync the icloud with a folder on my PC using the icloud app for the PC. Not sure if I can have only the icloud PC sync and not have all the devices in sync?
If #1 and #2 could work, then I would sync the PC folder with my local storge.
end result would be all my photos save in the cloud and a safe copy my home in my local storage. I would have thought that most people would want to do this, but doens't seem so obvious to me as to how I can get it to work?
Any help would be appreicated.
thanks

You can't use iCloud as a safe place to store your photos when they are deleted from your devices. iCloud designed to stream photos to your devices, and to back up photos currently on your your devices as part of your iCloud backups. However, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your devices enough time to download them. And if you delete a photo stream photo from any of your devices, it is also deleted from iCloud and from all of your devices. Furthermore, while camera roll photos are included in your backup, if you then delete the photos from your device and continue backing up, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they will be lost.
If you want to save your photos, import them from the camera roll to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then you can delete them from your device.
If you would rather have a cloud-based place to store your photos, look into a service such as Dropbox.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

Apple recently merged all my devices so that if I miss messages or facetime calls on one device, they get forwarded to my other devices. how do I UNDO this so this no longer happens?

If you don't want them to be unified, don't use the same Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage on our devices. Go to Settings>Messsages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

With icloud, if i delete emails on one device, shouldn't they be deleted on my other devices?
