Gmail & Apple Mail glitch--can't download msgs to two computers?

I have two Mac laptops with two Apple Mail accounts (one is new MacBook Air). When I get a new message in Gmail, it only downloads to whichever computer I open next and does not download to the other. Is there any setting in either Mail or Gmail POP that I can set so that all incoming messages are downloaded to both computers?
Very much appreciate your help

Yes - in Mail's Account Preferences, under Advanced, untick "Remove copy from server".
Having said that, I strongly urge you to use IMAP for GMail access. Not only will this method not delete mail from the server, you're kept in sync (you only need to check a new message once on one computer; it will be marked as read on the other computer) and you can use server-based folders. You can enable IMAP in your GMail webmail settings (the same place you enabled POP).

Once you purchase the sortware, can you download it on two computers?

Once you purchase the sortware, can you download and use it on two computers?

You can have it "Active"/usuable on 2 computers at a time, but can download to multiple computers.
Example Scenario in my actual life, you have a Windows Laptop and an iMac that you have Photoshop CC on (which was more difficult prior to Creative Cloud by the way), but you know you are going to visit your girlfriend out of state for a week.
You can deactivate Photoshop on your iMac while you're away without out uninstalling it.
Once you'e at her place you can download and activate Photoshop CC and you can even import you custom settings, Work Area and shortcuts all from the cloud. Now you can work seemlessly
Another example, you're office won't pop for the latest version of Photoshop and still has you running CS5.5
You have your own copy of Photoshop CC but don't want to just "give" them your license or key since their too cheap to get one for you for your work, but you still need those features to be at your best.
You can deactivate your license on your desktop or laptop in the morning when you are heading to the office, activate on your work computer, and deactivate before you clock out and go home.
As J pointed out, you can have it active on 2 machines at once, but installed on any machine you plan to work on at some point. Take advantage of it!

I just bought a new Ipad mini a while ago, a created a new apple ID "***************" , I can't download anything on apps store, it keeps on asking for a credit card but I don't have one. Can I create an account without a credit card?

I am unable to send emails using apple mail, but can still receive

A very odd situation this. I have a couple of POP3 accounts and an Exchange server account. All was going well until a few days ago when all my accounts stopped sending mail, but still continued to receive mail. I have removed each account and restored it but this hasn't worked, the timer is constantly spinning against the 'Sent' header. All these accounts work in their webmail version so I have to conclude the fault is with Apple Mail. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

In Apple Mail I can no longer paste items where I need them.

In 10.9.5, all of a sudden in Apple Mail I can no longer paste items where I need them. Everything goes to the bottom of the mail being composed. What's happening?

if it's an appletv 1g then you should go to settings on your appletv and remove the bind with the computer
and then set it up again
if it's the small black appletv then you don't pair them from itunes you only use it as airplay speaker and the atv access the itunes shared lib

Apple Mail: How can I automatically set a signature, depending on the sender (have several for one account), NOT on the account?
I have some comma-separated senders in my Apple Mail accounts, some for business, some for private (using the same account). When I'm sending a business mail, I would like to append my business signature, when I send a private one, either nothing, or a fun signature.

The serial number for the version purchased on cd can be used for two installations: Mac and PC or Mac and Mac or PC and PC.
The serial number for the downloaded version can be used only on two PCs or 2 Macs (generally), depending upon the version purchased.

How Can I Combine Podcasts from Two Computers Into One ?

I download podcasts on two computers - my home PC and my work/travel laptop. My IPod syncs to my home PC. What I would like to be able to do is transfer all the podcasts I have downloaded from my laptop to my home PC (as my internet speed at home isn't great), then sync it all to my IPod. Is this possible ?

Well it works.....sometimes. It works OK with audio podcasts, but not with *.mov video podcasts. It DOES work with *.M4V video podcasts. I found this out by trying to add all the Tiki Bar TV files, and only the Boomerang episode transferred OK.
The strange thing is this - while the *.MOV vpodcasts don't show up in the Podcast window in ITunes, they DO transfer over and show up in Library>Genre 'Podcasts'>. How can I force them to appear in the Podcasts window ?

Hi AndrewHISC
We would need to cancel one of the subscriptions and then you could sign up again using another ID.
Let me know if you wish to proceed with this.
Kind regards

AOL Mail Client can't download pictures from Apple Mail?

Hey gang-
My sister and her family use the current Windows AOL email client to send and receive email. I sent them some JPEGs using Apple Mail, and I selected "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" before composing the message. Anyhow, they can see the pictures in the AOL mail client, but they don't seem to be able to download the JPEGs to disk. They say they've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's an issue with how Apple Mail sends the JPEGs?
I have no idea how the Windows AOL mail client works, but does anyone know of any general guidance I can give them?
Thanks!
Dave

Dave,
Travis has captured all the facets of the problem. I will only add that the surest way to send to AOL is to use Plain Text. This has always been the advice with Mail (i.e., not use RTF to AOL recipients) but additional factors have been added by Mail 2.0. Whenever RTF is used, along with attachments, and there is furthermore a mixture of fonts utilized, Mail converts to use HTML, and changes the status of files attached, even for users other than AOL. The most common sources of mixed font usage are from a Signature, or from text included in replying, or forwarding.
When sending to AOL users, continue to use Windows Friendly, but also use Plain Text. If you do not wish to set Plain Text as the default in Compose, then on these messages, click on Format in the Menu Bar, and choose Make Plain Text on an individual message.
Let us know if problems persist, despite this method.

I accidently deleted gmail messages on my computer. I use Apple mail. Can I retrieve them?

I use Gmail's IMAP setttings to download email to my computer. I have 3 separate email accounts on Apple Mail. Today, I accidently select all and deleted all 3k messages from my Apple Inbox. Once I did that, it automatically deleted all emails from this computer, and my other computer, along with my iphone and on gmail.com.
Is there a way to get those emails back?
I am in my Library folder and in the Mail folder, I see all 3 IMAP folders. And within those folders, there is a Messages folder that has a lot of emails that are not in my Apple Inbox? I went to gmail.com and took all the messages in my trash and moved it to Inbox. But these messages were only abot 150. I have no idea where all the 3k emails went??
Please help as I need these emails.
Thanks

... I went to gmail.com and took all the messages in my trash and moved it to Inbox. But these messages were only abot 150.
Like you said Gmail deletes them after a specified number of days. If the messages you moved to gmail's Trash were older than that, gmail deleted them.

If you have an "all mail" folder search for them there. If they're not present, they're gone.

Gmail / apple mail, assuming mavericks upgrade issue. Messages from/to and subject header do not match displayed message

Hi Everyone
Hoping someone has had a similar issue and can help me sort it out.
Since Upgrading to mavericks a few weeks ago, I notice the follwoing issue in my apple mail when searching older messages (newer ones seem fine at the moment).
A lot ( I cant say all, but quite a few well into the 80-90% plus of messages sent pre update) have gotten scrambled. I can search from/ to and subject headers, and they correspond with each other. But when i select the message Im looking for, the message desplayed is from a different sender (with a diferent subject)
Ex I search for JohnDoe (happens if i use search function or just go manually looking thru folders) and subject "Quote", Message comes up (or I find as in manual search). When i select the message the message displayed is not the correct one. Its From JaneDoe with a subject "Thanksgiving" and its message.
Obviously making it a little tricky to track down previous emails.
My mail provider is Gmail (which I have heard mavericks / apple mail have been having lots of issues with).
Hopeefully someone knows what I can do
Thanks
BigRed81

Hello BigRed81,
I have a question on this subject. I am having the same issue. I followed the link to the support page for rebuidling a mailbox. It states :
"When you rebuild mailboxes for IMAP and Exchange accounts, locally stored messages and attachments are discarded, and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your Mac. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete."
I use gmail just for my Inbox. I pull off all of my messages from the server by filing them on my mac. So my concern is if I rebuild a mailbox, my mail account is gmail imap, and I do not have copies of my emails on the gmail server anymore that I will lose the majority of my mail because there is nothing to download again.
Do you know if this will happen? Or I should not be concerned?
Thanks
Mykol
