I get no mail on my mac but get mail on my touch

i want to know why i can get all my email on my ipod , itouch. and not get a single piece any email on my computermail . Why is this? I do have a imac 21.
it did worklast month and now it does not.

Is this the formal MobileMe email?
If so the servers & other things have changed.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

I have a 2 different .me e-mail accounts I was able to use one in my new mac but I can't create the other. Why is this happening? What can I do to enable de second one.

Hi, my wife has 2 different .me e-mail accounts. She uses one of them on her old mac-mini, that account was .mac and then updated to .me, and so she sends and gets mail there. Now she a new mac mini and she is using her second .me account on the new mac but when I try to open (create) other it won't let me. In other words she wants both of the accounts to be on the same computer (the new mac mini) since she wants to to sell the old one. I don't have much experience with Mac and all this ID thing has me confused. Why is this happening? What can I do to enable de second mail account on the same computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

Storing 'Sent' mail in 'On My Mac', but needing "To" not "From"..

Hi, I've looked for an answer to this in previous posts, but haven't yet found one:
I'm trying to store - so that they don't get erased - previously sent mail (..which is presently sitting in a 'Sent' mailbox under MAILBOXES..) so that it's sitting, instead, in a new box under the ON MY MAC heading.
The Sent mailbox in question is connected to an IMAP account ..so that the material is available on more than one computer. The IMAP account syncs correctly between Macs (..by their requesting and obtaining the latest material from the remote server).
Because the actual email account was set up incorrectly on the remote server (and now needs to be deleted and then reconfigured correctly) it's necessary to grab all the mail which is sitting in the local 'Sent' folder under MAILBOXES, and store this material offline in the local machines' ON MY MAC safe repository. (..The two Macs will then be "mechanically" sync'ed by simply copying the Mail folder within the User's Library from one Mac to the other ..this has always worked when used previously, if necessary..)
(..Mail's own Help file suggests Alt/Dragging the original folder to a new destination within ON MY MAC, but this doesn't seem to work for me..)
However: when all mail within the relevant 'Sent' folder is selected and then dragged to a newly-created folder within ON MY MAC (..which has worked OK for 'archiving' incoming email into an offline mailbox..) then the only headings within the new offline mailbox - consistent with offlining incoming mail - are 'From', 'Date Received', 'Subject', etc.
As this is supposed to be a copy of Sent instead of incoming mail, I'd like the headings to be - consistent with the original 'Sent' mailbox - "To", "Date Sent" and "Subject" instead.
Does anyone know of a means to change the headings within the newly-created folder to be "To" and "Date Sent" instead of 'From' and 'Date Received'?
Thanks in anticipation..

Not to worry ..solved it myself:
For anyone who wants to know how to do this: Ctrl-click on the 'From' name, and then UNtick 'From' and tick (check) 'To' instead. Choose all your own headings by using Ctrl-click.
Good night, and good luck!
P.S: Ah, sorry, Ernie; didn't see you there!
By 'MAILBOXES' I meant the heading(s) down the left column of Mail, which read MAILBOXES, ON MY MAC, RSS, etcetera.
Anyway, thanks for your concern, but I did manage to find the answer in the end: "..when in trouble, choose Ctrl-click for a contextual menu"!

I can open e-mails with a picture attachement on my MAC, but not on my iPAD

I Can open my AOL e-mails with picture attachments on my MAC, But they will on open on my iPad2. I get a message that says, mixed media and cannot open. Is there some setting I need to change on the iPad2?

What format are the photos in? Are they jpeg format? They should open if they are, but the message "mixed media" makes me question what the format is.

Mail won't go out on Mac but does iPad

I got a message this afternoon that the Comcast Certificate had expired September 11 and now I can't send out mail on the Mac, but it works fine on the iPad WITH THE SAME SETTINGS. The message is that the certificate for this server is invalid.
The mail worked previously but refuses to send now. When I say to connect with the SMTP server, it will not work.
I also tried in the certificate info to always trust this certificate, but that didn't work either
Does the iPad not verify the certificate and the Mac does?
I can get incoming mail but I elected to get it though my domain provider and not the broadband provider.

Rebooting the Mac fixed the problem. I have no idea why. Still unable to locate the mail ssl certificates.

New mail is showing up on my mac but not on my iphone?

I have my phone and mac synced on icloud. lately, my new emails are soing up on my 'mail' app on the mac but are not shoing up on my phone? this is very frusturating as i dont get to see any emails until i log onto my mac..
help!

iCloud includes as part of its suite of services Apple's free email service - it has nothing at all to do with any other email services you subscribe to.
To get another account on your device, you need to set that account up, using that account providers settings.

Junk Mail working on Mac but not iPhone

Hi,
Using Mail on Yosemite, I keep getting annoying spam which I add to my Junk mail rules. It automatically goes to junk on my Mac but always goes to my Inbox on Mail on my iPhone.
Any reason why? It's quite annoying!

OK. Since this started happening after installing the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, let's make sure that the update is installed properly before proceeding any further.
Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update using the Combo installer:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my stuff of 3gs

I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my all my stuff of the 3GS on to the iPhone 4

You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup. Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup. This should effectively move all your data to your new device. Report back if you have any problems.
If you are wanting to move our data from a Windows machine to your Mac, just let us know.

I renewed my subscription on my mac but my iPhone is still asking me to renew the iCloud how do I get my phone to update that i've already renewed?

i renewed my subscription on my mac but my iPhone is still asking me to renew the iCloud how do I get my phone to update that i've already renewed?

Hi Randers4 thank you for trying to help. I finally gave up and just called apple. Apparantly my renewel went under my icloud ID while my previous accout was my itunes ID. Never had to match them before but I guess we do now. Once I switched my iphone ID to the ID I used to renew the icloud it backed up. Live and learn.
Thanks again, hope this helps others too.

2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

How full is the hard drive?
Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).
