Wrong contact picture in Mail (both iPhone and MacBook)

Hi all,
Something strange is going on in Mail. On my MacBook I see my moms picture instead of mine, e-mail address and name are correct though. On my iPhone, I however see my mother's name and when I click on it, I get linked through to my mother's contact card.
Does anyone know what is going on and how I can solve this? Read some things about Time Machine messing things up but don't know what I can do to solve this.
Kind regards,
Isabella

Thank you for the reply, Golden Shoes!
Well, it's a bit of a disappointing answer considering one of the major things that made change to a Mac is that nothing is impossible, you just have to figure it out!
I suppose there must be a way to edit the template according to which the mail messages are printed... Isn't there a field or option in some configuration file that you can change to solve this?

Contacts list deleted on both Iphone and macbook at sync

My whole contacts list randomly got deleted after sync from both my computer and iphone. How can I get them back? Also strangely the people in my favorites are still there but are listed as only phone numbers and not names. What happened?

You're not the only one, M. Boudreau. Today I noticed that I had multiple duplicates throughout my iPhone list of contacts. Some were true duplicates with all the originals info and others were just the name and no other info. I promptly started deleting them by hand. I plugged my phone in and it synched with my computer (a PC running Windows XP with Microsoft Exchange). Then, when I went to dial someone, their contact was suddenly missing. As it stands now, all my contacts from the letter E and higher are deleted. Of course, being synched with my desktop, all I have left on my desktop now is what was left (some of A through D) on my iPhone. HELP!!!!!

Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
Thanks

That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

Sync mail on iPhone and MacBook with Shaw internet

Shaw provides my internet connection and I can't sync the mail function on my iPhone and MacBook using their pop server. All of the incoming messages are delivered to both the iPhone and MacBook, but if I delete or file an email on one device, I would like it to do the same on the other as well. Does anyone know of a work around for this? The Shaw support site doesn't help and the Apple phone support didn't know hoiw to resolve this either.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked with Shaw here in Victoria, BC. They don't have an IMAP service and their Exchange server only works on mobile devices. They are working on upgrades to their Exchange server but their customer support guy indicated that it could be several months before they are completed. So anybody in Western Canada that gets their internet from Shaw is out of luck for a while. The only solution for now is that you have to delete on both devices and any filing you do won't sync either.

'connection timed out' on both iphone and macbook air

The box for the internet is in my housemates room so I can't get in to restart it (if that would fix it). They're all gone for a week so I can't check with them to see if they have the same problem. I'm asuming they would since it's happening on both my iphone and macbook. But what can I do to fix it? I've looked on line but can't get anythign to solve my problem. I've deleted the network from the computer. That doesn't help. I'm at a McDonald's fixing to solve the problem. Please help me, I really need internet for some work I have to do this weekend. Please make it simple because I'm not good with computers.
I bought my macbook air in march 2012, I think it came with Lion.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

Yahoo mail on Iphone and Macbook Pro

Can any one tell me why yahoo! Mail would work on my Iphone and not my new mac book?
The new mail app for OS 10.5.6 should be ready for Yahoo! .
I spent $3000+ why cant it work Every where on the web is saying (Maybe pay for yahoo?, Or get MobileMe.)
All i want is an answer I don't want another E-mail My yahoo Does ALL I want!. Every one i know has mine so don't want the hassle to change it just want to know how to fix it?
Its the same problem everyone's is having!
What do I Do????

Hey there Aspen318
Same issue... but I managed to fix it. I'll try to explain it, if in doubt do ask questions.
Add the yahoo account on to your "Mail" and continue ignoring all the messages that say 'unable to connect'. On the last popping window you will be asked if you want to put the account online/ offline (does'n matter) despite all the 'unable' messages... You do that! Hopefully your yahoo account should be on on the Mail platform, even though is not yet running.
Go to Mail preferences (top bar, top left ). A new window popped out. From the top bar of the new window select ' Accounts' and if you have more accounts there make sure you select the yahoo one. Once selected you should have 7 text boxes , and one check box:
Box 1 Description: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 2 Email adress: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 3 Full name: Your Name (e.g. John Smith)
Box 4 Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Box 5 User name: [email protected] (e.g. [email protected])
Box 6 Password : Type in your yahoo password
Box 7 Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Click it, and then click on Edit server list... Again if you have more accounts make sure you select the yahoo one in the new window. Yo will then see 2 text windows:
Box A) Description Keep that one blank, if there is something in there, just delete it
Box B) Server name : smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
After all this is done, press ok and close all opened windows, including the 'Mail'.
Last bit is to open 'Mail' and click the Get Mail button on top left corner...
Good luck, let me know how you got on.

Sync Mail between iPhone and Macbook?

I'm brand new to Macs. I typically read my emails from the Mail app on my iphone. However, when I open Mail on my macbook, all of those emails that I've already opened are marked as unread. Does anyone know how I can sync my phone and computer so that everything I open on one device is open on the other device?

You need an IMAP account.
With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
For received messages with a POP account, there is option to not remove the messages from the server when downloaded by each email client used to access the account. With the Mail.app on a Mac, this is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences. There is a Never option for POP account preferences with the iPhone's Mail client.
You can email this message with an attachment to yourself to be received by the Mail.app on your Mac after selecting Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select the POP account.
Select Advanced for the account settings.
Under the Incoming Settings section, select Never for delete from server.

I want to stop sync of imessage in both iphone and macbook air

hey guys
i want to stop the sync of imessages between my macbook air and iphone 4s
can you people please in doing this

See this article:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
You said "sync", so I think you mean have the iMessages display at the same time on both devices. If that is what you mean, then
Settings > Message > Text Message Forwarding > [turn the Mac off] ... on your iPhone.
Otherwise, if you mean something else, the answer will appear in the article at some other place.

Mail on iPhone and Macbook

ICloud, iPhone and macbook

How to set up icloud and have both iphone and macbook in sync? Have followed set up including buying and installing mountain lion but still can't see my iphone updating if I change for example something in iCal on mac and vice versa. Have I missed something?
Many thanks for any help

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

Receiving mail on both iphone and outlook

Setting up my mail accounts on iphone3 and when mail is being received on my iphone it does not appear in my outlook aswell and vice versa, how do I receive same mail on both iphone and outlook?

Set it up as IMAP or configure it so that, while using POP, it retains a copy of the message on the server so that it can be downloaded again on multiple clients.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

I accidentally sync both IPhones and IPad to my Mac, so all of my pictures keep saying on all of devices. Is there a way to take them off all of my devices?

I sync all my devices, both IPhone and IPad not realizing all of my photo's would keep saving everywhere. I have resolved that issue, I just needed to find out if, there is a way to delete all of the photo's off both IPhones and IPad, but not from my Mac. Is this possible?

Hello, bethannfromct.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To remove synced photo albums from the device you will need to remove the sync preference in iTunes, see the steps in the first article below. You will need to process these steps for each iOS device.

ICal and contact duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook

Hi,
I have seen other discussions related to this subject but I can't seem to fix it. I have duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook of both iCal events and contacts. I am probably doing something wrong because if I add an event on my MacBook it will appear (fast enough!) in my iPhone, but it will not work the other way. Same thing with contacts. It is a bit of a nightmare and I would like to be able to have things once and automatically synced... if possible, of course, but I assumed this is what iCloud was about.
Can anyone with this stuff under control give me a hand?
Much appreciated

Your iPhone can take a screen-capture by holding down the bottom 'HOME' button
for 2-3 seconds, and then depressing the top 'RESET' button momentarily while
continuing to hold down 'HOME'. You will see a simulated white 'flash' on the iPhone
screen, and the screen capture will appear as a photo in your latest Camera Roll.
Unintended shots can be deleted from the Camera Roll just like any photo you might
take using the iPhone's camera.
