ICloud does not update emails in Mail on my MacBook Pro unless Mail app is open

Hi, looking for some advice
Up to a few days ago whenever I started up Mail in my MacBook Pro the e-mails I had received on my iPhone/iPad were pushed through and were visible as read.
Only now unless I have the MacBook runnig with the Mail app open they don't come through.
I can force them to synce if I move the emails on my iphone into a different folder, then back to inbox, but only while the Mail app is running.
It's annoying as one thing I like is being able to read the emails on my mobile devices then reply later from the MacBook when I get home.
I did change my iCloud password recently but it is the same across all devices, I removed the iCloud account from mail and system prefs then added them back but no joy.
I'm fairly sure it all started when I updated to iOS7 on the iPhone & iPad but cant be certain as I dont use the MacBook every day,
Any suggestions??
Thanks

OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
Back to normal...

It is easy to control which photo app opens with your iOS device if you have a Mac. Connect your iOS device to the Mac with the USB cable, open the free Apple app Image Capture, highlight your iOS device in the list on the left and in the bottom left corner select the behavior that you wish to have happen when the iOS device is connected to your Mac. You can also do as I do and configure it so that no photo app opens.

Play list in iCloud does not update when I change it on my computer

I have a play list that I have been adding songs to. (runs are getting longer) The problem is even if I click on the update iTunes match in iTunes the added songs do not appear on my other devices. In particular my iPhone. The play list on my phone still shows the old song count the playlist originally had. How can I get these songs to show up on my phone...I have 4 days to get this figured out before the marathon...

Spotlight and Find does not work in 10.4.7 and Macbook Pro

I have this strange problem of the Find and the Spotlight not working properly. Whenever I pass on a word to search it doesnot give me the full list. e.g In desktop I have file UserValidator.java and in the Find window I give options: Name Contains "Validator". The list that it is showing is not having the .java file.
I am getting crazy what is happening. Has anybody faced with this problem.
Thanks,
Tanmoy

Perhaps it's an Invisible item?
In Find, select Other
It opens a 'search attribute' window, in that scroll to and select 'Visibility' (4th from bottom)
Check 'Add to Favorites' then OK
Then select 'Visibility' and on the right button 'Visible or Invisible'
Search for your file

Hi my dvd, cd rom does not read cd or dvd on my macbook pro, Hi my dvd, cd rom does not read cd or dvd on my macbook pro

Hi
I recently bought a macbook pro laptop from ebay, the cd, dvd rom doesn't read any cd or dvd. ejects it after a few second. your help is much appreciated.

Help us help. What model laptop? What operating system (XP or Vista). Do you have software to play the music CD or DVD? Do you have all the drivers installed? Obviously the drive works because you used it to install the operating system, right?

Why can't I recieve or send mail on my macbook pro? Mail works just fine on iphone4

The account comes up with a little warning triangle by the name of the account, when I click on it this is the first message :
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
This is the second error, after I click the warning triangle the second time
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
In between the above messages, I've also received the please re-enter your password message, which I do and then I get the same message 30 seconds later. At this point I usually have to do a forced quit to make it go away 8-(
I have had my macbook for two years and mail has worked just fine until this week!!
My Mac is OS X version 10.6.8, and its just the mail that comes with macs.
I have tried deleting and re-opening the account?! and restarting the computer
I have tried connection doctor and it just tells me what I already know---it can't connect to the server

The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
It sounds like you're trying to connect to a web server, not a mail server. Check with your ISP for the right server address and settings.

My email does not update when I click on it. How do I fix this

Quit the mail app then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
Also, when looking at the list of your emails that have already been delivered tap and pull down on that list then let go. This asked the Mail app to check again.

Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

Hi,
Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second is not possible.

Mail does not send email

My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Apple Mail read status does not update correctly

I have one iMac running Mavericks and using Apple Mail to run three IMAP accounts provided by a local Apple Mountain Lion Server.
It exhibits two issues:
Firstly it fails to refresh the view automatically in the message viewer window.
The header at the very top of the window will update live when a new message comes in so that it says "X Messages (Y Unread)" with the correct numbers. The list of messages does not update unless you switch mailboxes, then switch back again. Then they appear instantly.
The second and more critical issue is that the read and unread status of messages is not updating correctly at all. Refreshing the view make no difference. Two of the three accounts are shared with 6 other iMacs running Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. None of these have an issue.
I have deleted and re-added the accounts several times, I have tried a completely clean new user account. Sometimes the first issue goes away but it returns after a short time.
The next step would be to erase the whole Mac but I am reluctant to go to the hassle as I have a suspicion that this will not make a difference and that there is a glitch with Mail on Mavericks. I have run all updates.

Hi Brenn,
To narrow down the issue, we need more investigation:
1.Does the issue occurs only in Category view? Please check if user 1 set the view to Date and email read status update.
2.Does the issue occurs to user1's own mailbox with the same setting as shared mailbox?
3.If the shared mailbox is in cached mode, please check Account Settings > Change > More Settings... > Adwanced > Use Cached Exchange mode > check Download shared folders.
4.Please switch to online mode for shared mailbox and test the issue.

TS3899 Why do I keep getting emails downloaded over and over again. It seems that iCloud does not recognize when the emails have already been downloaded to my iPad.

Why do I keep getting mails from iCloud over and over again? It seems that iCloud does not recognize that the emails were previously downloaded.

Does the iPhone NOT tell iTunes if you've played a track or not?
Yes, but the entire track must be listened to - until the track ends.
A song is not marked as played until the song has completed and the iPod starts playing the next song. The song must be played until the very end, and the same with a podcast.
