A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools.  Check the App store for fily syncronization.  Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember).  Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine.  You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox.  The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

  • Help needed to sync apps across iMac and Macbook Air via ICloud

    I have a new Mac and I want to sync (if possible) my applications such as pic collage etc between my iMac & my Macbook Air.
    The main reason I want to do this is because I have set up templates in my macbook air apps and I want to use my iMac through the day and macbook air at night and be able to access these without doing screen share.
    I am also looking to pay someone $150 to set up a few things for me. I am in Coorparoo if anyone is interested please contact me here or at
    Thankyou

    Tracey almost any program you've purchased from the Apple App Store can be downloaded to multiple computers legally. Programs you've purchased elsewhere are typically licensed either to the user or to the computer and to be completely legal you'd need to determine which is the case for the programs you want to install on more than one computer. Most documents can be saved to iCloud (assuming you have enough space on iCloud) or other cloud services. Cloud services such as DropBox and Microsoft's OneDrive have applications that sync files automatically which allows you to share files between computers. However many (most?) applications don't automatically move templates into the cloud since they tend to be saved in the user's Library folder which often isn't synced. So templates must be dealt with on a case by case basis. (I'll often save a document that I want to use as a template and then make a fresh copy of it when I want to use it as my template)

  • How can I sync my mail folders from my iMac and MacBook Air

    I recently bought the new iMac and MacBook Air. I would like to access my emails on both computers. I have folders that sort my mail on both computers but cannot access them on the other computer. Thanks for your help!

    What kind of email account do you have? (Who is it with?) The easiest way to do what you want is with an IMAP account, which actually stores folders on the email server, allowing any computer or device to see them. You cannot do the same with the older POP email accounts. Check whether your email provider offers IMAP.

  • E-mail synchronising on Imac and MacBook Pro

    How do I synchronise my e-mail on my Imac and MacBook Pro?
    Also, How does it work between my Imac and my IPAD?

    I am having this problem with Mac OS 10.5.8, Mail.app 3.6, iPhone 4.1, using my own domain name with pop.gmail.com.
    The troublesome emails do appear when I login to Gmail, they just don't make it to mail.app
    Please advise.

  • How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook?  I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

    How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook?  I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.  The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Just bought an iMac and use iCloud.  calendar appointments on iMac are displayed 24 hours out of sync with the iPhone.  the iPad and macbook air pick up the same information correctly.  why is this?

  • Sync itunes with ipod, imac and macbook air with iCloud

    First post this for me in this community so hope format and protocols are okay....however, just installed Lion on my MacbookAir and hooked up to iCloud, then installed iOS 5 on my ipod 3rd gen via my imac (currently running Snow Leopard). 
    So far so good, re installation of itunes on my ipod was almost seamless and pretty painless, also hooked up to iCloud. Then purchased a couple of Apps on the iPod and noticed an almost immediate upload of the same on my iTunes store running on my iMac - Not yet installed with Lion and therefore not (as far as I was aware) hooked up to iCloud.....is this not a bit odd ??
    Even odder perhaps is that the same apps have not shown up on my iTunes running on the Macbook Air.....perhaps explained by the following ??
    A further problem is that having recently copied purchased CD content to my iTunes on my iMac, and then synced this to my iPod, once I connected my iPod to my Macbook Air I was told the iPod was synced to another iTunes library (presumably that on my iMac) and so was not able to complete a sync unless I erased the iPod library.  Does this mean that I actually have two active iTunes accounts sotospeak, one on my MBA, one shared between my iMac and my iPod ?  If so, how do I convert this to one running on all three and if that is possible, presumably the issues of syncing between all, and of downloading apps from iCloud will be resolved ?
    Any clues or advice on how to sort this would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
    Guess also worth noting that all three devices are authorised but I'm wary of re-authorising upon erasing itunes libraries (unless of course the limit of 5 authorisations is not meant to limit the number of times this is done - but simply the number of authorised devices active at any one time).

    By subscribing. There're a lot of factors involved during a download: Network speed, computer used, iTunes availability etc.

    Well, it depends on how big the podcast is. The bigger the longer.

  • Syncing my iPhone 4s on both iMac and MacBook

    Help!
    When I got my iphone I only had our iMac, which was what I org. synced my phone to.  Since then I have purchased a MacBook and connected it to my MacBook (without any data loss, that I know of)  I do remember receiving messages of such the first time I plugged it in but have been syncing it to my MacBook for over a year now.  My iphone is still on OS 6.0.1, I want/need to update to the new OS but it tells me I need 4.0 GB of storage for the update.  Well when I connect my iphone to my Macbook it shows I have 6.74GB of (OTHER DATA) I had a WHOLE bunch of pics and vids in my messages.... I have went through and deleted a TON/MOST of my messages, I still have 6.74GB off (OTHER DATA).  However well over half of my apps are not showing up in my itunes acct. on my macbook and when I try to do the update it, it says you have purchased material on your iphone that has not been backed up and that I will lose if I do the update. 
    So to simplify
    1. How do I get rid of the almost 7 GB of Other Data so I can do the update
    2. Is there a way to get everything on my macbook so I can simplify down to just it without losing everything in the process, again so I can do the update.
    I have macs but do not fully understand the way they work together, however, love how they work together!  Is that possible?  LOL
    If I haven't provided enough info please ask!
    Thanks In Advance

    When I sync from my phone to macbook it does not sync over half of my apps that I have on the phone?  Will I lose them if I do the restore from my macbook?  Or should I connect to my iMac and do restore?  How and where do I copy my iTunes info from?  where is it hidden on my hard drive?

  • HT2500 how can I synch mail between an iMac and Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air running10.7.4 and an iMac running similar.  I use Mail as local tool for my hotmail account but this means inevitably that mail is nt synched between the iMac and MBA.  I want to be able to access my mail from both computers but only do so nce.  I would love to be able to synch mail folders between the two so that I could keep my mail in order.  Only having to read/delete once would be a further benefit

    set it up as an IMAP account instead of POP. IMAP syn with server (which also means other devices using that mail sync too) where as POP doesn't modify what's on the server. most hotmail accounts setup by default as POP

  • Sharing apps between iPad and macbook

    Hi:
    I have an Ipad, and I had pages and numbers app installed. Just bougth a Macbook pro
    how do I share the apps from Ipad to Macbook?
    thanks.

    You can copy the apps from the iPad to your Mac's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and you can copy documents to/from those apps and your Mac, but if you want to use Pages and Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X versions of them from the Mac App Store - the versions that you have on your iPad (iOS) can't be used on a Mac (OS X), they are different operating systems.

  • Problems sending & receiving email in Mail program in iMac

    I've just recently been unable to send & receive emails on my iMac.  So far, no problems with iPhones or iPad.  I've tried changing the server settings with info from Verizon's site and no luck.  The server settings show "offline."  Any ideas?

    Wondering if you received a response.  Same happening for a while now.

  • Issue with comcast sent email syncing between IPad and MacBook Air

    When sending email from comcast account on my iPad the emails  don't show up in sent mail on my MacBook mail application, why not? This is a problem when following up on key communications during a consulting project.

    That's because Comcast for the majority of account uses POP email, and with POP all sent and downloaded mail is local to the device. Received mail can be set not to be automatically erased from the server and hence downloaded and read on multiple systems, but sent mail is not and can only be viewed in the sending system. Hence you have to sync the email by some other means, such as through iTunes to see it all on multiple devices.
    Comcast does have a "beta" of IMAP, where all mail, send and received, is kept on their servers. If you're interested in that, see:

  • Can I sync the itunes account on my iMac and my Air?

    I have uploaded all my music onto my iMac but i have reciently bought an air, is there a way to make all the music and videos on my iMac available to the air? Is there a way to sync itunes over cloud
    With everything on my Mac working over iCloud to my iPad I was hoping there would be a way of syncing my music too... I dont have half of the CD's I origionally uploaded to my iMac 4 years ago but I want to be able to lissen to them on other macs.

    Whilst you are on the same network you can use Home Sharing (iTunes>Preferences>Sharing tab) to share the content on your Mac with the Air.
    For getting your iTunes content on all your devices have a look here, under the iTunes Everywhere heading: http://www.apple.com/itunes/what-is/

  • Error message when syncing photos/videos in iPhoto between iMac and iPad/iPhone 4S.

    I repeatedly get a message saying that "224 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information or for details".  I'm trying to figure out why this is happening and I can't figure out where in iTunes I can get the details the error message references.  Does anyone know how to diagnose?
    Please note: this is not a space/capacity issue.  I've already eliminated that as an issue. 
    Thanks in advance.
