Hello Chasity, As far as copying and pasting is concerned, I will simply refer you to an excellent Podcasts or, as he calls them, demo-casts, from Garth from Australia which you find on his website along with many more very useful Podcasts covering a wide variety of topics. If you are a relatively new iPhone user, his Podcasts actually are very much setup to cover basic topics all the way to the more advanced stuff and there are already a total of 50 of them. You find them at the following URL:
http://www.iBlindTech.com The one about selecting, copying and pasting text is Episode 12 from July 27, 2012 and the direct link to it is: http://www.iblindtech.com/democast/episode-12-selecting-copying-and-pasting- text.html As far as synchronizing your email and possibly contacts between your computer and iPhone, you should first find out whether your provider allows you to setup your email account as a POP account only or whether you can set it up as a IMAP account. If IMAP is an option or if you already have set it up as IMAP, you need the settings, then on your iPhone setup a new account and choose "Other" as the account type. On the next screen you can select to set it up either as a POP account or IMAP account, make sure you select IMAP and enter your information. Garth actually covers setting up an email account on the iPhone in Episode 8 of his demo-casts, but I haven't actually listened to it and don't know how much detail there is regarding things like POP versus IMAP versus Exchange Active Sync and so on. On your computer you would also have to reconfigure your email account and set it up as IMAP, once again, I can't tell you much as to how to do so unless I know which email client you are using. Hopefully it will be Outlook 2007, 2010 or 2013 in which case it's easy. If your provider only allows your account to be configured as a POP account, then you might want to consider setting up an Outlook.com or gmail account. I know changing email addresses is a pain in the neck, but in the long run you will be glad you did since a service like Outlook.com (which used to be Hotmail/Windows Live) or Gmail offers you much more flexibility also with respect to Contacts and if you ever switch providers your email will stay the same, you have it until the day you die and maybe by then your iPhone may even work in the after-life *smile*. I personally prefer to use Microsoft's Outlook.com service which would also give you an outlook.com email address, for example, [email protected]. If you were to sign up for this you would simply select "Hotmail" as the account type when you setup your email account on the iPhone (Apple hasn't caught up yet with the renaming of Hotmail first to Windows Live and now to Outlook.com). Microsoft uses Exchange Active Sync as the technology behind their service instead of IMAP and I like this because it takes care of email, contacts and calendars whereas if you have a gmail account and use Google Contacts you have to set up the email account as type Gmail and then setup another so-called CardDAV account to sync your contacts. If you want more help wit this feel free to contact me off-list at [email protected] and I'll walk you through how to get going. Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chasity Jackson Sent: Friday, July 05, 2013 8:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Questions about several topics In an effort to consolidate my message, I have chosen to send one message with several questions that I have, rather then to send multiple messages asking one question and each message. I wanted to know, how to select text? Also, how do you copy and paste the text into another document? Concerning mail, I have just set up my email to come to my iPhone, as of today. What I would like to know is, if I receive a message, that I would like to have on my computer as well, in my email client, if it comes to my phone, how do I ensure that. I have a copy of it on my computer as well? Would I have to forward it to myself? Or is there another way to do that? Thanks.
