ICloud Mail read on iPhone 6 not in mac iCloud inbox

I have had a problem with email messages on my iCloud account not showing in my Mac (OS 10.10 Yosemite) iCloud inbox if I've read that message on my iPhone, even though it remains in my iCloud inbox on my phone. Even marking the message as unread on my phone did not cause it to show up in my inbox on my Mac.
I haven't found any comments on this but am aware that sometimes it requires a mac reboot to properly sync some iCloud content. It is rare that I reboot my mac, but in this case, it did resolve the issue and the messages that were not showing now are (both iPhone and mac inboxes match).
So I chalk this up to an OS-X issue, but it is only a 10-15 second reboot so not a huge deal other than that I need to be aware that I need to reboot it when the iCloud inboxes are not syncing.

Reading a recieved message with a POP account with one email client by itself does not prevent the message from being downloaded and read with another email client. The iPhone's Mail client does not include an option for removing messages from the server when downloaded with a POP account as is available with an email client on your computer such as the Mail.app.
A problem with a POP account is only one email client at a time can access the incoming mail server for new messages and download any new messages. If a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the 2nd email client will be temporarily locked out by the incoming mail server.

Mail on my iphone is not working!

Mail on my iphone is not working. everytime i try to log in, it says "unable to verify hotmail account" or it says that my password is wrong, even when i type it correctly. what do i do?

I'm having the same problem so i went to the Apple Store to speak to someone. 4 members of staff had a look and weren't able to fix it. I was told by one member of staff that you can't sync "free" hotmail accounts to the iphone 4s.... only "paid for" accounts. Surely that's no true. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

Hi there. I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac. On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types. If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview. I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens? That will help people to help you.

Mail read on iPhone doesn't appear in Mail on the Mac

This is probably a newbie issue, but I can't find any way to resolve it in FAQs etc.
When my wife opens and reads an email message on her iPhone, that message then does not appear in her inbox on our Mac.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?
Is it a matter of setting up the mail account separately on the iPhone.
Many thanks for any advice.
Scott

Gmail Facebook Mail Comes to my iPhone, But Not My Mac

For a few days now messages from people in a couple Facebook groups (and there are a lot of them) come to my iPhone, but not to my Mac or iPad. And they are all using the same router to get to the internet. And all other mail, before and after these messages gets to all three devices.
Sometimes mail to my Mac (in both the Mail application and using Safari to access gmail) is delayed. I'll be sitting at my Mac with gmail showing I haven't got a message in hours, and notice on my iPhone I've gotten a dozen messages. I'll try to refresh on the Mac and no luck. Then maybe 15 minutes later they'll appear. Don't know whether this is related.

Hi neil43,
If you are not able to send or receive mail on your MacBook because you are being prompted for a password that is then rejected, I recommend trying steps in this article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276
Tip: If you see a sheet or dialog that states 'Enter the password for user "email address'", this indicates that the email service provider is having an issue with the password being sent by Mail, or there is an issue with the email account. Contact the email service provider for support. Choose Window > Connection Doctor click "Show Detail" then click "Check Again". The information displayed in the "Show Detail" drawer may include details from the email service provider about what the issue is. Look for headers that start with "[ALERT]".
The article continues on to walk you through using Connection Doctor, and based on the results, how to troubleshoot further.

How come i can edit in google sites on my iphone but not my mac?

I was given access to update a specific page on our local high school google site, but the page is only open to "edit" when I access it from my Iphone. If I go to the same site on my IMAC it does not open the "edit" feature of the page. Anybody??

Two different operating systems. iPhone runs on the iOS, your iMac the OS X.
Features used on your iPhone may not be available on your iMac and vice versa.

IMac not syncing Mail read on iPhone

I have just started using an iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1.2. Mail is working perfectly and showing all my imap accounts. However, anything that I've looked at on the phone (even if I've not read it) does not show on my iMac (Yosemite 10.10.1) Mail (8.1). The iPad Mail, which I've been using for years, is continuing to sync fine and doesn't appear to block messages reaching the iMac. Can't find any similar threads online so I'm hoping you can help please...

I've fixed it! I put the IMAP Path Prefix in the Advanced tab of the Accounts page and it now seems to be working. No idea why this has suddenly become a problem. Other mail accounts I have set up don't have this entered and didn't seem to have a problem. I've unticked the automatically detect and maintain account settings too so that it doesn't get deleted.

Deleted Mail on the iPhone does not delete on .Mac

I've noticed that when I delete mail on my iPone in my .Mac account that it does not show as deleted when going to webmail.mac.com. I see the messages still in my inbox AND in the trash.
Any ideas why this is not synching?
Thanks.

I found that there was a slight time lapse from when I managed a message on my iPhone (with .Mac) to when it showed the same status on my Mail.app (.Mac). For example, I deleted a message directly from my Inbox (iPhone) and it moved to trash. But it took about 2 minutes for that same message to show up in my trash on my machine. It just sat as a new, unread message on my laptop and then suddenly during the next send/receive interval it was put into the trash (still marked as unread, though).
Have you allowed any sort of time lapse? Or are you viewing the webmail view of your .Mac account simultaneously as your actions on the iPhone?

Mail accepts passwords on iphone but not on mac

I have 3 icloud addresses. All 3 work fine on my iphone, but my macbook rejects the password for one of them.

Mail received on iPhone but not Macbook Pro

I use godaddy as my domain host. Just today I noticed that when I click the button to get new messages in Mail, the activity light indicates that messages are being loaded, but nothing actually comes in.
All incoming emails are received on my iPhone.
I can send mail from the account.

After opening several service tickets with Godaddy, this issue was resolved by an account reset on their side.

Re Iphoto stream - how to save space on icloud by deleting on iphone but not on mac iphoto?? thanks

Hi - be great if anyone can help....
It's unclear to me as to how to save photostream photos from iphone to macbook if I want to delete the same photos from my phone to save space on icloud.
Thanks in anticipation of any advice

Hi
It's a very good idea to use an external hard disk to take load off the Main Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk.
BUT there are some VERY Important things to know.
A. NEVER move via DeskTop/Finder or alter any folders named
• iMovie Events - or -
• iMovie Projects
As this will result in disaster (hard to impossibly to mend)
All moving's of Events and Projects must be done Within the iMovie Application to be done in a Safe Way
B. The External/Second Hard Disk
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted for VIDEO - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO - whatever program is used iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD doesn't matter - VERY IMPORTANT ! ! !
• Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me especially when filling up. (Thunderbolt might be even better - have non to test)
BUT when reg. iPhoto Library.
• Yes it can be moved
• Yes iPhoto can be directed to find it
• BUT - iMovie can not find those out-localized iPhoto libraries (AS FAR AS I Learned up to now 12-April-03 - anyone with more insight may kindly set me into a possibly way to do this)
So I've outsource my iMovie Event's (most important as they take space) and Projects (not so important as they are very small - no movies in them only text document conducting how the Events are to be viewed) - BUT iPhoto stays - will not touch it.
Yours Bengt W

Can send email from iphone but not from mac.

Hi. I'm using a mac desktop and the mail app. I can receive email, but not send. I checked my port and id/pswd and still cannot send. After the app tries to send, it says the server is offline.
I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've checked this and mail connection doctor says I am connected - think I am going to have to get someone in to help me as I have spent about 4 hours on this now :-(

HT202786 Shared photos appear on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac

Hi Everyone:
I have several albums I share via iCloud. They appear on both my iPhone and iPad, but do not appear in iPhoto on my Mac. The album titles appear, but the photos do not have. Below are screenshots.
All devices are using the same iCloud account. I have tried turning iCloud Photo Sharing on and off in both System Preferences and iPhoto, but that is not working.
iPad:
iOS 8.1
Mac
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012)

You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/ to the Desktop.
This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
Remove the folder and restart the Mac. It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.
