Sent email from my iPhone not synching with my desktop Mac

I am stumped. When I send email from my iPhone (using my POP account) the email is sent, shows up in my iPhone sent folder but does not show up in the sent folder in the Mail application on my desktop plus the little icon showing that I responded is not there. I guess it is not synching. This is a problem because I often don't recall if I responded to an email from my iPhone and I end up responding again to the email when I see it on my Mac desktop. My synch is working great with contacts and calendars, both push and fetch. I am also receiving emails, push and fetch, just fine. Can anyone offer advice or insight? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

IPod not synching with iCloud

Hi.
I have successfully loaded an album onto my PC. It has been matched with iCloud. The album appears on my iPad but not on my iPod (which is where I need it to be).
I have turned on/off wifi & iCloud on my iPod several times but it still won't synch with the cloud.
I seem to be having synch problems with my iPod lately. Not sure if it's since Idownloaded the latest iOS.

iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

When plugging in ipod, itunes says it is not synched with this ipod...??

Greetings.
Here goes.
I recently had an issue with itunes library (also had a corrupt quicktime) and all my data was erased, I downloaded itunes again. I then located all the songs on my hard drive and dumped them back into my library. My ipod was unscathed. However, when I plug in my ipod I recieve the message that "this itunes is not synched with this ipod"...and the option to "erase and synch" (which I did). Note: I bought an external hard drive for my music files and redirected the ipod to this (F:). I am still recieving the message and the action to "erase and aynch". How can I remedy this?
Thanks

So you downloaded Video or Audio Podcast ?
Have you tried to view the Podcast on your PC or MAC ? Normally if it download it should Play ?

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Iphone not synching with mac

My iphone will not synch with my MAC. This just started. Iphoto says my phones name in the left nav bar then shows that no photos are available to upload. I have taken newer photos so this is not the case. The first time I tried it said something was locked. I went through all of my settings on my iphone5 and nothing seems to be locked. I rebooted my MAC as that was suggested by someone and that did not work.

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier. Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

IPhone 4 not synching with MacBook Pro contacts or calendar

Hi there,
My issue is that my iPhone 4 is not synching with my MacBook Pro which is running Snow Leopard (I haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet as judging by the reviews there's a split in how successful it is).
The latest information is on my iPhone, both contacts and calendar, however under iTunes (the latest update v11) it does not give me the option box to 'check' and sync these menu's. Any ideas anyone - this is issue is not only baffling but annoying as ****.
Any ideas of feedback would be greatl

Doh! Got it working....
Helps to use the "search" function better. I read another thread where someone was having the same problem and a suggestion was to ensure that he was using the same cable that came with his iPhone...sure enough! That was my problem. My wife has an iPod and somehow we mixed up our wires.
I swapped cables with her and boom! The synch function is back at work.

Why won't my ipod classic synch with itunes in Windows 7?

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.
