Gmail account works on one Mac, not on another

I have a late 2009 iMac and an early-model MacBook Air. Both were running the latest Mountain Lion; I updated both to Mavericks, so they are both running OS X 10.9 and Mail 7.0.
Before the upgrade, both Macs had a mail account. (It's the mail service for my ISP, but it's really just Gmail.) Mail worked equally well on both.
After the upgrade, Mail continued to work perfectly on the iMac, but it failed completely on the MBA. I get a warnint triangle next to my Inbox. When I click on it, Connection Doctor tells me that I have a good internet connection, but that it could not connect to either the Gmail SMTP server or the IMAP server.
I've checked every detail of the account settings from Mail preferences; they are identical. I've deleted and recreated the account on the MBA multiple times, from both the Mail preferences accounts tab and the System Preferences Internet Accounts tab. Nothing helps. Mail on the MBA is totally unable to connect to the Gmail servers, no matter what I do.
Here are some of the details:
Account Information:
Enable this account: checked
Account Type: Google IMAP
Description: Tellink IMAP
Email Address: ([email protected] (my ISP))
Full Name: (my name)
Incoming Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: (same as my email address)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Tellink (Offline)
Use only this server: Checked
TLS Certificate: None
Edit SMTP Server List:
Description: Tellink
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
In Use By Account: Tellink IMAP
Use custom port: 465
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Advanced:
IMAP Path Prefix: (empty)
Port: 993
Use SSL: checked
Use IDLE command if the server supports it: checked

This was fixed by the upgrade to 10.9.1.

  • Word import - hyperlinks work in one document, not in another

    Hi all,
    I am aware that much has been written about broken links after importing, but there is a strange pattern to my problem I have not seen before.
    I have three language versions of one document (English, French, German). So I set up three independent RoboHelp 8 projects and imported (linked) the corresponding Word documents. English and German are no problem, but in the French project, some (10%) cross-refs are not converted to hyperlinks. The involved titles have no accents, so it is probably not a character set problem. If I update the Word link or force update, it is always exactly the same cross-refs that are not converted correctly.
    The cross-refs in Word look like this:
    {HYPERLINK \I " title "}
    The cross-refs that do convert correctly have the same format, I see no difference between cross-references that work in RH and those that don't.
    Any ideas about this?

    Sometimes, but it does not seem to affect the function. There are working links with spaces at the end.
    On the other hand, there are strange things like this:
    I have two chapter titles named "Système de désignation des modules de fonction" and"Système de désignation des connexions".
    When I create hyperlinks, then Word inserts these fields:
    {HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation"}
    {HYPERLINK \l " Système de désignation "}
    -> The titles are cut off in the middle, the text markers differ only by an extra space. These hyperlinks work in Word, but not in RoboHelp.

  • Personal Web Sharing Works on One Mac, Not on Other

    I can't get Personal Web Sharing to work with my MacBook Pro. It does work with my iMac. Yes, I can turn it on just fine on the MacBook, by means of System Preferences->Sharing, but I can't successfully use the Personal Web http:// link I see there as a URL in my iMac's browser. When I try, it tells me it can't connect to the host, i.e., the MacBook. When I do the same in reverse, from my MacBook browser with my iMac as target (though the local IP address and the short-user-name are of course different), the connection works fine. 
    I don't think I'm using an incorrect local IP address to try to get to my MacBook. I've checked that. And I do have an index.html file in the appropriate Sites folder on each machine. 
    I'm using Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8 on both machines.
    The problem also shows up on Safari on my iPhone. It can access Personal Web Sharing on the iMac but it can't on the MacBook.  
    I wonder if it's a Bonjour problem? I don't exactly know if Bonjour is running on the MacBook, or how to tell if it is, or how to activate it if it isn't running.
    Or, if it's not Bonjour, what could it be?

    Doug,
    'sudo apachectl start' asked for my password and seemed to have no complaints after getting it. But it didn't tell me anything, and it didn't make a difference.
    After checking out some FAQs at
    http://httpd.apache.org/
    I tried 'apachectl -k start' and got:
    (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
    (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
    no listening sockets available, shutting down
    Unable to open logs
    It made no difference whether Personal Web Sharing was on or off in System Preferences when I did that.
    I do know that the Apache log file is apparently not there where apachectl expects it. I don't understand the other stuff it said, but it looks like maybe it was trying to use an IP address of 0.0.0.0 instead of 10.0.1.16.
    10.0.1.16 is the local IP address of my MacBook.
    I tried 'apachectl configtest' and got 'Syntax OK'.
    I tried moving index.html to /Library/WebServer/Documents -- no help.
    I tried creating a new configuration file in the way you said to try -- no help.
    No matter what I try, I get:
    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.16.
    I'm beginning to wonder if the Apache environment might not need to be reinstalled. But I'm not sure how. I'm running Leopard 10.5.8, but the original install disk I have is 10.5.1. Software Update moved me up from that to 10.5.8 over time. Your further thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated ...

  • IBooks sync works on one Mac, not on other

    On my iPhone and iPad, my iBooks setup includes some custom collections containing PDF files. After installing Mavericks on my Mac Pro, the Mac version of iBooks immediately acquired all of the custom collections, and they were filled with the correct PDFs. But on my MacBook Pro, the custom collections showed up but none of the PDF content appeared. I can't find any way to force iBooks on the MacBook Pro to sync.
    Any ideas? Similar experiences?

    I have an even more unique situation.
    When iBooks was part of iTunes, I cleverly used the "Genre" popup within the Info panel for each PDF document to create a "category", e.g. Technical Documents, Proposals, Project Names, etc.
    In other words, I treated each PDF like I would a song, and created my own categories (rather than an actual genre like Jazz, Rock, etc.), which I could then sort. As a result, in the iPad, my documents were automatically sorted when using the Categories tab. This works great in all the versions of iOS.
    Now that iBooks has been separated out as a separate desktop app, I can no longer sync up these files in the same manner.
    It seems that I am now forced to create "Collections" for each of these previously created genres!
    As a final note, make sure you have the "Sync Collections" switch turned ON in Settings > iBooks on your iPhone or  iPad, which will ensure that all your Collections sync up on all devices.

  • AirTunes works for one Mac, not the other...

    Hi all,
    I have an AirPort Express that connects to our 2WIRE WiFi network. My mid-2008 MBP running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8 connects flawlessly, but I have a mid-2005 iBook G4 that I use as a file server that is now having trouble connecting to the remote speakers. It is also running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8, and I encountered the connection troubles right around the time iTunes 9 was released.
    Firewall settings are the same on both computers, but is there anything else I should compare between the two machines to see what's allowing the MBP to work while preventing the iBook from working?
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: Whoapossum

    For anyone that may run into this problem, I went into the 2WIRE router settings and opened up TCP ports 548-554 on my Airport Express. All is running smoothly now!

  • Leopard Junk filter works on one iMac, not on another?

    My wife got her iMac on November 7th. It didn't come with Leopard pre-installed, a bit of a surprise but it came with a CD which I used to upgade her to Leopard. I got my iMac a month later. Leopard preinstalled. Now the question. In using her Mail, it didn't seem to learn anything. It was labeling as junk senders in her address book and regular much of the junk mail. I put in a trial copy of Spamsieve and it looks to work pretty good. I thought I would have to buy a copy for my iMac but decided to hold off and I started using Mac Mail. My filter seems to work fine. Catches all the junk, doesn't label anyone in my address book as junk. Why the difference? Our iMacs are identical except she had to upgrade from Tiger and I didn't. Our mail preference settings are identical. Our two email accounts are dot Mac and Yahoo. Since we are switching from PC to Mac, this is our first experience and its a learning one. So far so good. Except for this anamoly with Junk mail filter.
    Anyone have any ideas? Please don't tell me to do a clean install on hers and start over with a clean Leopard install. Thanks

    I appreciate your response and yes the Preferences are the same in the Junk Mail area including the Advanced. I didn't make real clear my underlying concern that this difference might be in some way due to an upgrade version of Leopard versus a clean install. Logically that shouldn't matter but we all know that just because something is logical doesn't mean it is correct. Since SpamSieve seems to be working as advertised, I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on it right now. It just seemed odd to me that she was having these problems with the Junk Mail filter and I didn't. Particularly when it was marking emails from her Address Book as spam and not just once. That shouldn't require a Baynesian whatever. And I think when I installed SpamSieve, it wiped out everything that the Mac Mail filter had anyway. I think. I was a bit hacked that I waited for Leopard to come out so I wouldn't have to go through an upgrade and then got it shipped with Tiger installed anyway a month after Leopard was released. Sorry, that would make this a rant and that's not my intent. If that upgrade versus clean is not the possible culprit, then I'll wait until her 30 day trial is over with SpamSieve, and decide from there. Thanks again.

  • CS2 Works for one user, not for another

    A friend has started getting the dreded "An  error has been  detected with a required application library and the product cannot  continue. Please reinstall the application."
    I've found this problem listed a number of times in the forums, but none of them seem to have a solution.
    He is on a Window 7Pro machine running 64-bit.
    Reinstalling does not fix the problem and customer support will no longer help with a CS2 application.
    He has compared the  C:\Users\Username\AppData folders between the primary user and the  others, but not clear which folder he should delete. Most  reference a specific applicaiton (like InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop,  etc) and this problem happens for every CS2 app.
    He's considering backing up the whole  disk, then delete the user's profile, and then re-create it, and then  put back the documents, email, contacts, bookmarks, etc.  That's a  fair amount of trouble, but it should work. 
    Can anyone suggest an easier way?

    Sorry, but even that is not guaranteed to work. CS2 is unsupported under Windows 7 and using it on a 64 bit machine adds a whole new level of complexity. It's time for your friend to upgrade. Troubleshooting this installation will be nothing but an excercise in futility.
    It's also worth noting that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. You can save a few bucks along with free shipping on Amazon: http://amzn.to/h0SwTa
    Your (and your friend's) call of course. But if really wants to stick with CS2 he should roll back to XP SP2. Anything later than that is a crapshoot.

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

  • I can't get gmail to work on my ipad, I changed my password on my gmail account and the iPad will not accept it!

    Help

    Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
    If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

  • Multiple Gmail accounts but only one notification icon

    I just got the Z2 after struggling for a while with an ageing and annoying phone, and in general I'm pretty happy with it.
    But I have a problem with gmail notifications, and it's hard to find info on this on the web because it just turns up a lot of stuff about the notification sounds, which is not my issue.
    I have three gmail accounts, two private and one for work. With all my previous phones, when I had mail incoming, I'd get one notification icon in the status bar per account. So if I had unread mail in all three accounts, I'd three gmail icons in the notification bar.
    The Z2 seems to lump them all together, and I only get one single icon regardless of how many accounts have unread email. I find this quite annoying and not something I expected at ALL. (Even my first very crummy internet-capable phone did multiple notifications.) Is this a bug, or is there a way to change a setting?

    As far as i'm aware the icon in the status bar is a standard thing, like you i have 3 email accounts (BT Internet tho) & when i have an email the icon appears & i have to toggle thru the accounts. I dont really use GMAIL but on the Gmail App does it not register with a number saying how many you have?????
    You could look into perhaps a different notifier in the Play Store......

  • 23" works on One but not the Other

    I have a Powerbook G4 1.25 GHz running 10.3.9 connected to a similar vintage 23" clear plastic case display with a DVI to ADC adapter connection and it works great.
    My husband recently bought a used Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz running 10.4.8. We thought sure that when I was out of town with my computer he could hook up and enjoy the use of my big display, but no luck. It just gives him a blank screen.
    Any suggestions as to why that would be? Does his machine require a different adapter? Is it possible his port is just not functioning?
    Thanks!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   23 inch display

    I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!
