Gmail not syncing.

My gmail has not been syncing since last night. Anyone else having this problem?

Well, it started working about 10am this morning (after 30 hours down). I pushed the sync button and it caught up.
I had done everything you suggest, turned the phone off several times, turned off wifi, etc.
I hope this is not going to be a regular thing.
Thanks, everyone, for the responses.

Possible fix for Gmail not syncing after recent update

Hey all,
I've seen at least one person on the forums who's had issues with their Gmail not syncing after the latest update. I thought I would pass along my solution to the problem in case it worked for others. After I updated to the latest version of the iPhone software a couple of days ago, my mail accounts from Gmail were behaving strangely. For one thing, all of my saved e-mails on the iPhone were deleted. For another, it no longer received any e-mail from those accounts. Finally, I decided to test it out by creating a new e-mail account on my iPhone to sync with a disused Gmail address that I had not yet set up for IMAP on my phone. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! Then, after I checked the details of the new e-mail account with those of my existing accounts, I discovered that the incoming server port number was incorrect on the other accounts. It was 995 when it ought to have been 993. When I corrected the port numbers, all of the accounts synced perfectly. I hope that might work for someone else. It was at least worth a post on the forums, I figured. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day, everyone!

Fantastic! Worked a treat - thanks!

ICloud contacts on iPhone and Gmail not syncing to Mac

A friend has an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) and a Mac Book Pro (OSX Lion). He wanted the contacts from his Gmail account to appear on his iPhone. This was easy enough - I just added his Gmail account to his iPhone under Mail, Contacts Calendars.
The problem - we want all of these contacts to sync with his Mac. Both if the iPhone and Mac have iCloud enabled with the same account. Accounts are set to sync. However, the only contacts appearing on him Mac are the ones that were already there. It's not syncing all accounts from his iPhone.
Any suggestions?

iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts. If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too. If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

HT6030 I am still having issues with GMAIL not syncing or moving it's duplicating items as I move them to folders and my inbox is overflowing now..... help?

according to the last update it was supposed to fix the gmail issue in apple mail with syncing/archiving/etc. now it is not only duplicating but still not syncing properly and moving emails once I've moved them/ My inbox is overflowing and this is NOT acceptable.

as rediculous as this is, I enabled "all mail" under the labels, then went into the actual apple mail settings and checked some box about updateing immediately (for deleted items) . then I had to quit mail then open it back up - it "appears" to have synced properly. I'll let you know if it all comes back, but this is really a pain in the butt, I swapped from Entourage a few months back because it started acting weird with gmail.
anyone have any other mail options if this continues to not work? I don't want to have to pull gmail in my browser to move read items each day.
thanks for all the help.

Gmail Notes syncing issue

i have iphone 4 working flawlessly syncing the notes from the ipad and gmail.
Now i got the ipad. i follow the same method of adding email accounts and add GMAIL on IMAP account and turn on ONLY NOTES.
Now i open the notes application and nothing is there.
I go to settings > Notes ... only show Font choices, no Default account.
What should i do? how can i add Gmail as my defualt notes account???

I am having a similar problem, so no, I do not have an answer for you.
My iPhone syncs email to my multiple GMail accounts, and also syncs notes through those same GMail accounts. It works and has worked like a charm. I set up my new iPad 2, with 4.3.3 preinstalled, and cannot get it to sync notes (except through USB back to my MacBook). I cannot even get it to display the "default account" selector area in Settings --> Notes (just the fonts).
The GMail accounts are the same ones the iPhone is accessing, and the setup is the same on the iDevice (accounts are set-up as Exchange accounts).
Any thoughts on fixing this?

Contacts from gmail not syncing to icloud

Hi,
I am using an iphone 6 and having a difficult time trying to sync the contacts to icloud.
Already synced contacts from my gmail to iphone using carddav account information in the contacts settings.
But this contact list is not being synced to icloud (Ony the new contacts i add are being synced)
How do I sync these contacts to icloud?
Thanks

Hey firedude3!
It’s possible that you have iCloud syncing turned on for your calendar, but not turned on for your Contacts. Make sure that the Contact syncing is turned on by following the instructions listed here:
Add contacts - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph14a87326
Besides entering contacts, you can:
Use your iCloud contacts: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.
If that setting is already turned on, then you will want to use this article as reference for troubleshooting the issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts

Gmail not syncing with .Mac

Hi,
I am having an issue with Gmail and Mail that I can't find a solution to anywhere and I am hoping that someone here can provide some insight.
I use Mail.app on a G5 and an iBook and use .Mac to keep mail, calendar and addresses in-sync b/w the two. I have 4 email accounts set up in Mail.app: DotMac, Gmail, Qwest.net and another POP account. All of them work sync fine b/w the two machines except for Gmail. I can receive Gmail on either machine without any problem. The trouble begins when I receive Gmail on one machine, sync with .Mac, and then go to the other machine and sync with .Mac there. The Gmail email that I received on the first machine and already read doesn't show up on the new machine. However, the other email addresses all do this just fine. Does it have something to do with the way Gmail's POP service works? I have Gmail set to archive emails. Does that matter?
I would greatly appreciate any help. This has been killing me!
Thnx!
Brian
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Brian.
First of all, .Mac doesn’t synchronize locally stored mail between computers. Only mail stored on the server can be synchronized, and you don’t need .Mac for that; any IMAP account would do. If you can see mail received on your POP accounts on both computers, it’s because they’re both downloading it from the server, not because of any .Mac synchronization.
Moreover, Gmail POP access doesn’t work as a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must log into your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again.
3. Any Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. The reason is that, after being downloaded, those messages are no longer available to any mail client, not even to the same client that has just downloaded them, not even for deleting them or checking whether they are still there.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is.
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
6. As a particular case of 5, messages sent to yourself will appear in your Inbox on the web, but cannot be downloaded by either the same or any other POP mail client.

Gmail not syncing automatically in mail app

Hi, I have gmail account on mail app as well as yahoo and outlook emails. Others emails except gmail sync automatically but gmail does not. I have to manually drag down to sync it. If new email arrives, it does not show that. How to fix it? Thanks

exactly the same problem here, It SEEMS to coincide with the latest security update, but I can't substantiate that. The first couple of times it happened a reboot sorrted it out for me, but not anymore.
I'll have a dig around and post back if I find anythng new.

Why isn't my gmail not syncing

my mail is not syning into my computer, what could be the reason for this? the last mail synced to my computer was in june 2012.

hello Lippman, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6 (which is very outdated so google will probably offer a reduced set of features). some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it.
<br>please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]
you could also try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]...

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

Reverse Syncing from Gmail notes to iOS

Hello,
I am using the default notes application on my iPhone 4. I had switched to Android for a month and bought Gnotes in Google play store and created lot of notes and it synced with the same notes in my gmail account as it did before on my iOS5. Recently when i switched back to iOS6 the notes i created on my gmail is not syncing back onto my iPhone.
Although all the new notes i am creating on iPhone are getting synced to my gmail account but older ones are not downloaded on iPhone. Any tips to get it back ? Worst thing, i will write them again on my iPhone.

Thanks man... it did help me mostly. Although i had to manually copy paste from Gmail to iCloud.com and it came on my phone but it didn't sync both the notes from Gmail as well as iCloud so its either Gmail or iCloud. But this is still good and better than manually writing it
Appreciate your help.

Native notes sync (via gmail) on multiple devices

I sync my notes (from the native notes app) via gmail over both my iPad and my android phone. I noticed today that if I edit a note (that is already synced with both devices) with my iPad while it has no Internet connection, the changes are not retained - it gets uploaded to my google account once I get Internet again, but gmail has them received two later syncs from my phone (a later time stamp) which then replaces my note with the last addition, and the old version of that note is instead uploaded to google from my phone and then pulled from google by my iPad, replacing my latest addition with the older (yet according to time stamp newer) note from my phone.
I guess notes doesn't have a way of checking which content is really the latest?
Now that I think about it, I might have opened that particular note on my phone after the ipad edits, but before bringing my iPad on touch with Internet again... Which would of course create a more recent version of that note, replacing the update on my iPad...
The nice thing is that all revisions are stored on my google account so I never lost any data.
Is there however a way to have notes detect such conflicts or no?

As you 'saw on the Apple website' (for example, in this kbase article), Notes syncing is over USB only. You state that you use MobileMe. To sync notes from a Mac to your iPhone, you'll need to connect the iPhone and sync via iTunes. Be sure to deselect other items on the Info tab synced by MobileMe (calendars, etc.) and be sure Notes syncing is checked. Have you tried that?
EDIT: Seems you figured it out yourself as I was answering. Is it working now?

Mac mail and gmail are not syncing

I just bought my very first mac computer, the MacBook Pro. I set up my Mac Mail to my gmail account. My gmail account won't sync up to my macmail though. All the messages are there as well as my contacts and the mac mail receives new emails when I get them, however they are not synced up. For example, when I delete a message in mac mail, it doesn't delete on my gmail account and vice versa. How do I get it so the two are synced?

How do I get these messages out of my inbox?
I am having same issue. This is a new development as I don't recall it doing this before. I was using the delete button in mail and this would archive the message (my desired behavior)...
not sure why there aren't moving out of gmail's inbox...is it possible Google is working on something behind the scenes?
Fixed this one issue (at least for my setup)...
It's a little misleading but it's the advanced imap settings in gmail's settings that was throwing me off...
Under the the "expunge" settings
x Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail "archive" the message and move it to "All Mail"
Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
x Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail remove it from the folder in Mail, but not in Gmail, unless it's a message that is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder, then it goes by the second set of settings (archive, trash, delete immediately) that are only available if "do not automatically expunge messages" is chosen...

My gmail account connecting to the exchange server, does not sync correctly

Hello,
i've been with the sync. problem with my gmail account which is connecting my iPod touch 2nd-gen./iOS v4.2.1 to the google's exchange server, more specifically when i read some emails offline.
Actually there is no sync problem when i read emails online, when the read emails are shown 'having been read' at the desktop browser as well.
That is, the problem i have now is the 'having been read' emails offline do not sync correctly to the google's exchange server.
Hopefully there is some help from this forum i can get.
Thanks
YH Kwon

Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not.
These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.
Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.

HT1414 appointments made on iphone are not syncing to the gmail calendar on my pc

When I put appointments on my Iphone, they do not sync to my calendar in gmail. This was not a problem, until my gmail was hacked, and I had to change my password. I changed the password on my phone also, but it seems this problem arose after this occurred. I have rebooted the phone, tried deleting the account and reinstalling, updating my software.............and it still is a problem. Any ideas?

I had the same problem you're having. I recently changed my password on my Apple account and likely messed up my iCloud from syncing. In exploring my Calendar on my Mac I seemed to have solved this problem. I opened File and clicked on New Calendar. This gives you more options, such as iCloud, on my Mac, or Gmail. I chose iCloud and my calendar synced immediately. I now have an extra calendar on my Calendar, but it's working.
