IPod Mail Accounts Syncing Problem

Hi,
I keep getting the following error message when I try to sync my iPod Touch.
"iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPod "Name" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Try syncing your iPod again. If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPod from the Info tab in the iPod preferences."
Anyone got any ideas? It's only just started a couple of days ago.
Thanks,
Mel

Greetings, again, Mel -
Another forum response seems to have fixed the problem for me. From Christopher Archer comes this:
"...a much simpler "solution" to this problem. It worked for me as well as a few others. Before you sync...go to the info tab. Down at the bottom is says that during the next sync it will basically overwrite the information on the iPhone. I selected mail...since that was the error to begin with...and synced. Did fine...ran a normal sync to be safe and I'm back up and jogging."
...Me, too.

Mail account sync problem

Hi
Was using Outlook the other day and got an error on an IMAP account so had to remove and add the account to Outlook again. Just syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes and the sync stays at 'Syncing mail accounts'. No error message, just stays at this stage. So I cancelled the sync, deleted the particular account from the phone and tried to sync again in the hope it would work. Still not.
Anyone got any tips or advice? Obviously I can add the email account manually on the phone again, but this isn't going to stop the sync process in the future. Is there a way of disabling this stage of the sync process?
Thanks
Ricky

I solved this (pretty much) by just taking the entire user/library/mail folder from the machine that had all 3 of my gmail accounts syncing correctly , i.e. delete and replace on the mbp that had a stuck account. So now the sync works as expected by my overall mail count is not exact: on the imac it's currently Inbox (1203 messages) and on the mbp it's Inbox (1138 messages). The difference must be back in time, and not within the last few weeks as I checked back that far and things seem to match up on both machines. It would be nice to fix, but not imperative, assuming whatever is missing is still on the Gmail website...somewhere. So I'll keep this post open in case anyone has more ideas. cheers,

Mail Accounts syncing not working

When I got my iPhone I originally setup access to one of my mail accounts directly on the device, so never came across this problem. When I recently set iTunes to "Sync selected Mail accounts" and added my other accounts, I came across some problems.
First of all, I got the "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone… because an error occurred remapping record identifiers."
I got around this by painstakingly adding only 1 account at a time, then syncing, then adding another account, then syncing, etc.
I've kept "Sync selected Mail accounts" checked, but now every so often when I sync my iPhone (by docking it) I'll lose ALL my mail settings on the device. Of course, I don't usually find this out until I'm away from my computer and try to use Mail on the iPhone
Has anyone else come across this problem (disappearing Mail settings?) or a fix?
I've already tried restoring the iPhone, but this problem persists.
For now, I am configuring Mail manually on the iPhone and leaving mail accounts syncing in iTunes off.

Check Damon's response in this thread with instructions for resetting the sync history on your Mac.

If this is successful, and the email account settings for selected email accounts are successfully transferred to your iPhone, you can deselect this option. The sync process for email account settings is in one direction only - from your computer to your iPhone. Unless a change is made to the settings for an account on your computer that you want reflected on your iPhone, there is no reason to continue to sync email account settings every time you sync.

The 4Gs hardware, only 256 MB of RAM, prohibits updating beyond 6.1.6.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Mail Account sync from mac to iPhone

i cant sync my mail accounts from my mac to my iphone 4! the register "info" isnt there in iTunes.
so i have to type all the settings on the iphone again. with mountain lion it was really easy to sync my mail accounts. why is this function not included in mavericks?

I've got the same problem. I need my iMac to talk to my iPhone but it's not doing anymore. I also tried creating a randon Playlist in iTunes and it didn't sync that either. I don't want iCloud as it confuses matters and gives me double entries, I'll let you know if I find a work around.

Ipod classic 120GB sync problems

Whenever I try to sync my new iPod Classic 120GB with iTunes 8.1, it shows that it is transferring all the tracks, but when it is done, only a handful are transferred to the iPod. No error messages pop up, but when I sync it with an older version of iTunes, it seems to work just fine. The firmware on the iPod is already up-to-date and I've even done a restore, what can possibly be wrong which is causing the sync problems with iTune 8.1?

I have got the same problem, everything up-to-date. iTunes has about 80 gB of music, but synchronisation results in only 30 gB of music on my iPod. Apple's helpdesk first advised to reset the iPod: that meant another 24 hours of downloading, but the final result was even worse than the first time. Then they tried to convince me that my iTunes tracks perhaps were corrupt. But manually I can download every album. Finally they recommended to use manual synchronisation, that in fact means that the automatic sync option is no longer available! I cannot understand that Apple support is not aware of the problem and cannot properly fix it. Also after first contact by telephone there seems to be no possibility to complain by e-mail about the recommended "solution."

Exchange 2007 mail account sync with Mail 4.0 does not happen

I am setting up my work exchange 2007 mail account in Mail 4.4. The total size of mail box is ~ 200MB. Folders smaller than 10MB have synced properly and I can see the mails in these folders inside Mail.
However, none of the mails inside folders >10MB are visible in Mail. Activity window in Mail does not indicate that a sync is going on. But I can see that Mail has correctly calculated the folder sizes on server and no. of messages on server (for every folder) in Account Info.
I have waited close to 5hrs hoping that it is probably a slow first time sync, but I am not closer to seeing the mails in Mail.
Any leads to solving this would help.
Thanks

I was having this problem as well with a different host's email account. I was able to get IMAP as an option by holding down the Option key. But then was unable to connect to the server to send/receive mail. Turning off SSL in two places worked:
- Uncheck SSL from the SMTP server settings (click on the SMTP server name & select "Edit SMTP Server List to get to this setting); and
- From the Advanced Options Tab. Also, in Advanced Options, you may need to change the port to 143 (it may be defaulted to 993 since SSL is the default.)

Solution to my "iPhone/iPod cannot be synced" problem

My MacBook Pro has been giving me the following error when syncing both my 80Gb video iPod and my iPhone for a while now:
The iPhone|iPod "..." cannot be synced. The disk
could not be read from or written to.
I worked around it on the iPod by not syncing any podcasts but I wasn't so lucky (if you can call it that) with the iPhone - I couldn't sync iPhoto at all.
After one visit to the Genius Bar on Fifth Avenue and a further 18 hours of trying different things, I fixed the problem. It seems to have been some kind of file corruption in the iPhoto library. This procedure worked for me:
1. Move my iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
2. Open iPhoto and let it recreate its folder and default files
3. Copy my backed up picture folders to the folder iPhoto created
4. Copy the backed up AlbumData.xml file to the folder iPhoto created
5. Overwrite all files created by iPhoto in the new folder with my backed up ones
I don't know where the corruption was but the above sequence fixed my problem. The Genius Bar advice was to create a new user account on my Mac and then copy or move all my data files to the new account. That was painful, time-consuming and ultimately it didn't work. I don't think this is good advice to be giving anyone but hardcore computer users.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The sync issue I found with photos (and it was strictly hit or miss as the error message details nothing) is that I had to break them up into smaller folders of roughly 200 photos or less. A large folder will cause any number of sync errors.
The list of elaborate workarounds for basic functionality in every application is beginning to get on my nerves. The only thing I haven't been told so far is to jump up and down while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy if I want this thing to do what it's supposed to.

Mail & IMAP sync problem...

I have a MacPro and a MacBook Pro both running 10.5.6 and an iPhone. All of them connect to an IMAP email account. It's been working perfectly for a very long time.
The other day, out of the blue, my MacPro got out of sync with everything else. It doesn't show the same read/unread status, or deleted or replied status either. The laptop and the iPhone seem to be correct with the server.
BTW, I have 2 other IMAP accounts that still work perfectly between all 3 machines. It's just this one account...and on the MacPro.
I've restarted Mail and rebooted, even did a "synchronize" on the mail account, but nothing I do seems to correct the problem.
Any solutions?
Thanks...

I am having the same issue. We have only three machines we read email on. Two macs and my iPhone. Many times emails go missing. When I access my mail accounts through the web interface they are all there, but on the Macs it's very iffy. Synchonizing mailboxes does nothing.

Mail account Sync Error "an error occurred remapping record identifiers"

I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this problem I am having.
I have a POP and an IMAP (mobile.me) mail account on my Mac which I also have on my iPhone. Email works fine on both devices but on every iPhone Sync attempt in iTunes I get the same error message as per the following image.
!http://www.wrxownersclub.com.au/forum/syncerror.jpg!
The following is from the AppleMobileSync.00.log from within Console.
2009-01-30 13:04:59.682 AppleMobileSync 1440:2689074976 SyncClient.m:- ConcreteSyncClient remapRecordIdentifiers:dataClass: ERROR: Exception NSInvalidArgumentException calling clientChangedRecordIdentifiers: ISDSqliteRecordIdMapper replaceLocalId:withLocalId: : you can't change the local id 501CDE24-46B5-476F-A21A-1C9AD7E0DA60 -> 8769B17E-D91B-4E85-B960-457AFCA85949: both the new and old ids are already mapped to global ids
I've tried deleting both accounts from my iPhone but on Syncing again they are not re-created anew as I thought they would be.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Chris

Before the next sync, try going under the info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and uncheck sync email accounts. Select apply in the bottom right corner.
Quit iTunes and disconnect the iphone.
Launch the iSync application in your applications folder and go to iSync preferences.
Select Reset sync history.
After resetting sync history, restart your Mac. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone. Select syncing the email account settings for these email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Select Apply, followed by a sync.
If this works, you can deselect syncing the email account settings for your iPhone sync preferences. This transfers email account settings only from your Mac to your iPhone. After the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there isn't any reason to include this with every sync. You only need to do this if your email account settings change for these email accounts on your Mac, which shouldn't happen very often.
If this doesn't work, leave the option to transfer the email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences and manually re-create the accounts with the iPhone's mail client.

No mail account sync - reamapping of entry indentification

Dear all:
I can not sync anymore one of my email account because of a strange message; "error during the reamapping of entry indentification"...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Hi Illaas,
Thanks for your response.
You don't mention whether you are looking in iTunes or Finder. However, it does not really matter: either way I do not see emails as a sync option.
Under Finder, my iPad is not showing as a separate device.
Under iTunes under Devices, when I click on my iPad, I see lots of tabs (Summary, Info, Apps, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunesU, Books and Photos) but no Mail.
I ended up creating each Mail account individually, so this issue is not really resolved but I found a workaround.
Thanks for your input.

Mail account sync iCloud

I signed up with .mac then went to .me now it's .icloud
Anyhow it used to resync all my mail accounts when I reinstalled a new system in .me and .mac. it's not doing it now with .icloud
It synced only the iCloud email address but the other two accounts are not automatically setup as they used to.
How do you get iCloud to sync all the mail accounts? I'd like it to restore my previous settings before I had to wipe my disk.
Thx for any help.

Hi rwpinto,
With the introduction of OS X Mountain Lion, Notes were moved to their own standalone application. Therefore, iCloud will sync notes with the Notes application instead of Mail:
Notes: Set up notes for your accounts

OS X Mountain Lion: Apps included with your Mac

Brand new iPod touch having syncing problems

I bought a brand new iPod touch 4th generation to replace my 3rd generation one. When I first plugged it in, almost everything synced over. After I noticed my notes, calender, photos, and previously saved wallpaper photos didn't transfer over, I synced my iPod again. The second time, the notes transfered over but not the rest of the stuff. I tried to manually sync photos. Now, my iPod won't sync at all with the message "Cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." popping up. If I go into wall papers or simply photos, the main library is just a black screen with a scroll bar. It also says the iPod is up to date. Please help.
I'm scared to completely restore because I don't want everything to wipe from my computer.

If you are connecting to a hub discontinue doing so and try connecting directly to your computer and see what happens.

Mail Account Preferences problem

I am trying to update my mail account. When I open Preferences, click on the account, but it does not allow me to enter an email address, let alone several separated by commas. How can I adjust this? Thanks,

What is the precise error you are receiving from the server? Does it say it cannot authenticate with that username and password?
What do you have your SMTP server set as? Is it SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET? If so, try these different ports.
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:25
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:80
SMTPOUT.SECURESERVER.NET:3535
It could be that your host does not allow you to send mail through SMTP servers other than theirs. If using the above servers and ports does not work, try your ISP's SMTP server.

Having downloaded and installed the latest Maverick Ios I now have a problem with mail.All my mailboxes were in alphabetical order now they are arrange randomly under my mail account, sync does not rearrange them whilst the order in the ISP account is in

I have downloaded Maverick 10.9 and installed , now my mailboxes in mail are randomly arranged as opossed to being in alphebetical order from A at the top to Z at the bottom how do you rearrenge the mailboxes in an alphbetical order.
Sync with my provider Gmail does not rearrange them on my Imac

Thanks for that .
My actual problem I may not have made very clear - sorry.
i.e.
[email protected]
AA insurance
Xero
apple
building
insurance
etc.
Shows the way the mailboxes are listed in the mail program under any particular provider, in my case I have three mail provider accounts with mail moved from the inbox to the appropraite mailbox eg [email protected] , Xero - where the incomeing mail is filed.
My problem is to arrange these mailboxes/folders in an alphabetical order under the [email protected] account
