After upgrading to Mavericks my Gmail account is slow to sync with my iPhone

I'm able to read my GMail message on my iPhone way before I see them on my Mac running the Mail app. It takes a long time sometimes never, for the messages to show up. I updated to the latest version of Mavericks that was suppose to fix this but it didn't help. I'm using the IMAP settings for Gmail.

I tried deleting the gmail account from the Internet Accounts section in System Preferences and recreated it. That worked! The missing email showed up and I'm in sync with my iPhone again.

After upgrading to mavericks all my folders in Mail are gone, with important documents, does anyone have any ideas how I can retrieve them? Thanks Warren

Hi,
After upgrading to Mavericks, all my mail folders in Mail are gone. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this. I only use the apple Mail, not anything else like gmail etc. Its very frustrating as I had importantant documents there.
Thanks
Warren

this might help with the gmail problem: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/?viewall=true

Can I have just ONE account in Contacts that syncs with my iPhone?

I quickly add a new contact when I'm at my computer right from a new email. I reply, "I'll call you when I get there" and I race out the door.
Ooops.
Mountain Lion put my new contact into the "ON MY MAC" account. It did not sync with my iPhone because it's not in my iCloud account.
Really?
Why would I not want that on my phone? Why does Apple make this so difficult?
Is there a way to totally get rid of the ON MY MAC contacts, and just have ONE account that syncs? Without me having to check and double check my contacts all the time?
I'm about ready to buy a paper and pen address book so I'll KNOW when it's working or not.
Sorry about the rant and the attitude, but it's really frustrating to lose a potential client to something this basic.
I also have a Dot Mac account that then became Mobile Me and now I'm not sure what it is, but I had to create an iCloud account (and a new iCloud email address) just to make my Notes sync up. So I don't know if all that is exacerbating the problem or not.
But ONE Contacts account that syncs reliably without me having to police it constantly would be nice.

Have you set the iCloud account as the default account yet? Sounds like you have not.
Contacts>Preferences>General. Choose the account you want new contacts to be in and select it.

After upgrade to iTunes 11.1.4 - no longer see/sync with iPhone 4

recently upgrade iTunes to 11.1.4 - but can no longer sync iPhone 4. Use Windows 8. The phone is still viewable on MS files - and can access iPhone directories (ie photos). Other Apple devises (iPod) have not been affected -- they appear and sync fine

Hi Lyssa! Many thanks for your answer!
I had my suspicions about something like that. Apparently Apple wants to have FULL CONTROL of its users lives. I have been using Apple products since the late 80’s and I, so far, still do.
I find it a bit funny but mostly stupid that Apple has removed the syncing function between iPhone and Mac. So, even if you are a ’loyal’ Apple user, you now have to publish your whole life on iCloud if you want to copy your calendar and contacts to your OWN iPhone from your computer/vice versa, because that is what this is all about. Otherwise, you can’t sync between the iPhone and your computer, even if you are loyal to Apple, using both their laptop and their phone.
I do not want to do that and therefore I now have decided to leave the Apple platform for good. So, next time I choose a computer, a phone etc, it will not be an Apple product. Goodbye Apple!
Many thanks again, Lyssa. Have a nice day!

Outlook i have added my gmail account but it wont sync with my phone

how do you sync your outlook with gmail to your phone so you can see diary on phone and computer?

Well, Outlook doesn't sync with Google Calendar, so all your calendars in Outlook are local to that computer only.
One thing you can try is to use Sync Services to sync with iCal, and then sync iCal with your phone through iTunes. (You cannot use this method if you use iCloud.) To turn Sync Services on, go to Outlook Preferences.
Sync Services is eventually going away, though, so your best hope is for Outlook to support Google Calendars directly. (iCal does already, by the way.)

After upgrading to Maverick my Imac is dead slow, 3-4 min to load an app, HELP!!

Background: intel 7i with 16mb ram, after 1st upgrade from Lion 2 weeks ago maverick scrambled my user accounts and i had to take the MAC to the Apple store for re-install of the IOS, the thing worked fine for 3 days and on Monday started getting slower and slower. last night on startup it was 3-4 min to load chrome and mail together, app store would not even load. any ideas?????

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do I link my wife's Live Mail account through Outlook to sync with new Iphone?

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. My wife has an Live Mail Account she mainly accesses via Outlook for Mac. She's about to buy an Iphone - how do I sync her mail and contacts?

settings>mail, contacts, calendars>add account
that should take you through the steps of getting it set up to sync, as far as adding servers and such. When it's set up on the phone, she'll have the option to turn contacts on to merge them with the phone

Late 2007 15" MBP Very slow after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi guys,
this is my first post here. I look forward to learn and help others.
The reason of this post is, as outlined in the title, slow paerformance of my computer after upgrading to Mavericks. It was kinda slow from before but this time it's almost unbearable to use it. I used to be able to run VMWare with 2 XP and 1 windows server machines WITH JUST 2 GB OF RAM! Now I have 4 GB and can barely run a single virtual machine with XP and the cooling fans come on just by watching a video on youtube, which also makes performance take a dump.

I understand it says my RAM is way too low, but hve no idea what's killing it. So far I've disabled and uninstalled all DynDNS items. I just read about Chrome's slow performance for MBP's and plan to switch back to Safari (Firefox made my computer even slower).
Thanks in advance for any light shed on this.
Oscar.

Thank you Kappy, while I was reviewing the log from EtreCheck I noticed the 3rd party preference panes, launchers and daemos. I deleted a few of them and it really helped with system performance. Reading your reply confirms that what I did was the right thing; here is an updated log from EtreCheck:

I was reading about GeekBench in the discusions and decided to give it a go, although I was able to only perform the 32-bit tests, I got 1268 on the single-core score and 2187 for the multi-core score; I don't know how good or bad those numbers are. Wish I had a before and after reading but I read about it too late, when I had already erased several items.
I will appreciate any further input BEFORE I decide to reinstall the OS from scratch.

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.

IMac became very slow after upgrading to Mavericks

after upgrading to Mavericks my mac became very slow, i can´t do anything on it without waiting at least15 min. Does someone know what i can do to make it better?

Mine too, I am really frustrated, since I read all reviews and asked some friends and co-workers about mavericks, they are all happy, but my macbook is almost useless now.
I tried using Mackeeper, but then apple says it´s a malware, so there´s my solution....
Anyone with a good answer for this problem ???

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks

I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
I tried to delete
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
Thank you very much.

Restart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.

Can't log in after upgrading to mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks, I at first seemed to lose the 2nd HD (all data), then list the ability to log in
Help!

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Why does the migration wizard run every time I start up my mac after upgrading to mavericks ?

After upgrading to Mavericks, I log in as normal but then a migration wizard starts up asking me where I want to import data from and create new accounts. Why and how do I stop it ?

It could be part of OS X's Resume feature. Any app that is open at shutdown will re-open on boot unless the tick in the following image is deselected when shutting down/restarting:
Also check that Migration Assistant isn't listed in System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items.

After upgrading to Mavericks my Gmail account is slow to sync with my iPhone
