Gmail to Mavericks mail? any sign of a fix to this HUGE delay?

This delay is just ridiculus and makes Mail essentially unusable - just missed an ebay sale 'cos of the several hour's delay.

My Mail application works fine with Gmail, though I understand others are still having issues. You can, of course, use the web interface for Gmail instead.
Best of luck.

  • Gmail and Mavericks - mail disappearing

    I "lost" all my mail after Mavericks update, then spent considerable time recovering from Time Machine all my mail. After 4 days, all my gmail was removed yet again from my archived folders. Visible from both Apple Mail and Safari access to the mail server prior all mail has now vanished. Now I'm faced with recovering yet again (about 2 days work) and I suspect only to have it "deleted" from gmail yet again. Is anyone else having similar issues? Ideas on resolution?
    Many thanks

    Users are still posting mixed results. Some with no issues and others reporting number of messages downloading to be in the thousands. Mavericks Mail likes the All Mail folder to be checked. If your Inbox has thousands of messages, I suggest you log into your Gmail account in Safari and archive (move to All Mail) most of your Inbox before adding the account. See my blog article on setting up Gmail. You can also read the comments from other users to see what worked for them.
    If you test in a new User this gives you a clean environment to add the account. If it works as expected in the new User, add Gmail in your regular User. If you run into problems you know there is some cleanup that is needed.

    If you bought the MBP new 3 weeks ago, it should have come with Mountain Lion already installed. Did you update your MBP to the newly released 10.8.4 update? If not, what OS were you running before the upgrade, and what version of Mountain Lion do you have now?

  • The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to."  Any ideas on the fix for this?

    The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to."  Any ideas on the fix for this?  When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.

    As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

  • Lion OS random freezing. Any updates on a fix for this?

    I've downloaded the latest Lion OS updates but my iMac continues to randomly freeze up and requires a restart. Any updates on a fix for this?

    Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the freezes persist.

  • Firefox seems to freeze after a few moment when I switch whatever I have plugged into the audio jack. Any suggestions on a fix for this?

    Whenever I pull out my speaker/headphones out of its jack to put in my speaker/headphones Monzilla freezes. Any idea on what it could be?
    It completely freezes, and does not unfreeze if I wait it out. I have to close it with task manager which then tells me the program is not responsive. I shut it down, and Firefox does not act like it had a crash or anything of the sort.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe Mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • REMOTE DESKTOP (MICROSOFT) NOT WORKING SINCE YOSEMITE UPDATE.  ANY ONE KNOW A FIX FOR THIS ?

    MICROSOFT RDP HAS WORKED FINE WITH YOSEMITE. 
    AIRPORT UTILITY IS UP TO DATE.
    SINCE YOSEMITE UPGRADE THERE IS NO ABILITY TO CONNECT FROM HOME TO OFFICE.
    IOS DEVICES CAN CONNECT BUT THEY ARE CELLULAR ANYWAY SO IT SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED TO THE WIFI NETWORK.
    I AM RUNNING MY CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET ON A RECENTLY PURCHASED NETGEAR ROUTER.
    THERE IS ALSO A TIME CAPSULE IN MY SETUP.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

    Thats a good point. Let's troubleshoot network connectivity.
    Open RDP, right click your connection and select edit, then copy the PC name.
    open terminal Finder > Utilities > Terminal and type the following
    telent YourPCName 3389
    where "YourPCName" is the name you copied above. Hit enter
    You won't get a "success" message or anything, if the terminal window just goes blank, then there is not a firewall/network issue.
    If you clearly get an error, then it's either Firewall or DNS. Try the following in terminal
    ping YourPCName
    if it starts showing an IP address, line by line by line, then it is definatelly a firewall issue
    if not, trying getting the IP address from the winders box by opening a command prompt and type
    ipconfig
    do all the above again but use the IP address in place of YourPCName

  • My iPhone 4 is randomly opening and closing apps. I have restarted and even did a reset. Any ideas how to fix? This is my lifeline as I use it for work

    I have restarted holding gown the sleep button and done a hard restart using the home and sleep at the same time. I reset all my settings. My screen continuously switches from different apps and screens. In text it randomly selects letters. This happened once a few weeks ago but only lasted a couple hours. This time it's been more than 24 hours. I use it for my business so it's vital I have it working. Thanks for your help

    You need to restore using iTunes you last sync with.

  • After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail.

    After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail. Anyone has a fix?  I can't open PDF files anymore...

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Mavericks Mail messages hidden?

    A website has sent me an auto email to reset a password 3 times today. Each time I hear the message alert but cannot find the message anywhere. I'm using Mavericks Mail, the address is [email protected] so this isn't a Gmail issue. There are no rules on the account. The search tool doesn't find the message plus it isn't showing in iCloud. Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any solutions you could recommend?

    I've seen blank messages tied to Spotlight issues. I suggest that you delete all Spotlight cache files and let Spotlight build a new index.
    HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES
    Option 1)
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    *  Click Spotlight.
    *  Make sure Messages & Chats is checked under the Search Results tab.
    *  Click the Privacy tab.
    *  Drag your drive to the list. Wait a couple of minutes.
    *  Remove the item you added.
    *  Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list.
    Option 2)
    Copy the text below and open Terminal (in /Application/Utilities). Paste the code into the Terminal window at the prompt.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    You will be asked for your administrator password (and if you've never used the sudo command you'll need to accept the warning presented). When you type your password, it will look like nothing is being typed. That's normal. Once you've typed your administrator password, press Return.
    This will completely remove the Spotlight index and force a new one to be created. Probably not necessary, but I would immediately quit Terminal and restart your Mac.
    Option 3)
    This option also allows you to reset permissions on your files where Disk Utility only corrects Apple files.
    Use OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to reset Your files and folder permissions
    SUMMARY:
    Depending on your Mac and the contents of it's hard disk, re-indexing may take several hours. Doing this overnight is a good option if you have a large drive.
    You can tell if it's still in progress by simply looking at the Spotlight menu: There's a blinking dot in the middle of the magnifying glass while indexing is occurring. You can also open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and type in md in the search filter.
    Until this process is finished, Spotlight won’t know the contents of your disks.

  • HT6030 Issues with the Mavericks Mail's text-decoding

    Hey guys! I'm an OS X user, i updated it to the Mavericks, and i have one question. I can't find the e-mail's text-decoding possibilities in the Mavericks Mail program. I tried to find this in the Mail's Help, but it is trying to navigate me a not existing tab. I searched it everywhere in the menu-system, but no success.
    Thanks in advance!

  • It seems that Google search is not compatable with Firefox 9.0.1? Any fixes for this?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1 Suddenly, my Google toolbar search does not work. Any work around or fix for this?

    Why do these companies do this!! They take something useful screw it up out of mere caprice just to keep their programmers busy. I sure some genius at Google thinks this was a good idea. "Let's really annoy our users by making it more difficult to use our sites. Oh but it looks so cool now". Change for the sake of change is annoying and idiotic and I hate it.
    Baloney. I have tried Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera and all support the top navigation bar in Google Earth and Finance. Firefox is the problem!

  • Itunes update always fails during download - it gets to the last 3 mb or so and hangs until I cancel it.  Any idea how to fix?

    iTunes fails to update.  During download, it gets to last (presunambly) package and hangs at last 3 Mb.  I have left it for days, it won't complete. Any idea how to fix?

    This is a common issue.  Temporarily disable the Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

  • Mavericks Mail sync with Gmail - lost folders

    I use gmail as my main email provider. I have had this syncronised to my MacBookPro, iPad and iPhone for a few years. It worked smothly. Whenever I created, modified or moved mail folders in the Mail app it was replicated in gmail.
    I recently updated my Mac to Mavericks and continued using mail as normal. Last night I decided to reorder my Mail folders to put the folders I access the most higher up the list.
    On doing this I lost ALL of my emails from EVERY folder, inluding the inbox. I was mortified. That was years of filed emails gone. I think they were moved to a trash folder (so they still exist, but mixed in with trash).
    I have since read that this is a fault with Mavericks.
    I really need to restore the emails to the folders they were in. Some of the emails were very important.
    Can anyone advise how I can get these emails back to the folders they came from?
    Hope you can help

    I am running "Mavericks" 10.9.5 on a new MacBook Pro, but I've had a similar problem with earlier computers and versions of the OS (10.8.x): Some of my emails that I keep stored on folders in my GMAIL mailbox appear scrambled in "Mail". The Header and subject line showing up in the preview pane (Message list) belong to one message, but the first two lines in the same pane belong to a totally different email (from a different sender). When I click on that message, I find that the whole message that is being displayed is from that other sender - header, subject line, "From" fields and body. No trace of the mail that should belong to the header and subject line in the preview pane! An example is shown at the bottom - the text starting with "Save $50..." is from a completely different sender and has nothing to do with "SAIL Magazine" - and the "SAIL Magazine" email is nowhere to be found. If I go to GMAIL's web interface, I can find BOTH messages without problem. (In case this is a useful hint: GMAIL in its infinite wisdom decided to NOT mark those particular 2 emails as "important" - shown by a yellow flag in the web interface for several OTHER emails). I should say that my setup is to use IMAP (imap.gmail.com), and all my folders are replicated on any of the several devices I use (two different Macs and iPhone) as well as on the web interface. Surprisingly, the specific problem shown below exists ONLY on my new MacBook Pro with Mavericks - both my other Macbook and my iPhone show both emails normally - but I had similar mess-ups on my other Mac as well. So it looks like that somehow MAIL and GMAIL still do not work properly together with IMAP - I would have thought this problem would be widely known and would have been fixed by Apple eventually? Anyway, any hints on how to fix this glitch would be much appreciated!  - Seb
