Mac mail and gmail are not syncing

I just bought my very first mac computer, the MacBook Pro. I set up my Mac Mail to my gmail account. My gmail account won't sync up to my macmail though. All the messages are there as well as my contacts and the mac mail receives new emails when I get them, however they are not synced up. For example, when I delete a message in mac mail, it doesn't delete on my gmail account and vice versa. How do I get it so the two are synced?

I just added Gmail to my Apple Mail and the only thing that I am trying to "fix" is that when I delete an email in Apple Mail, it shows up still in the Gmail inbox with the label "deleted messages" or without the label depending on what settings I use in Apple Mail.
How do I get these messages out of my inbox?
I am having same issue. This is a new development as I don't recall it doing this before. I was using the delete button in mail and this would archive the message (my desired behavior)...
not sure why there aren't moving out of gmail's inbox...is it possible Google is working on something behind the scenes?
Fixed this one issue (at least for my setup)...
It's a little misleading but it's the advanced imap settings in gmail's settings that was throwing me off...
Under the the "expunge" settings
x Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail "archive" the message and move it to "All Mail"
Immediately expunge messages when I mark them deleted in IMAP
x Do not automatically expunge messages
Makes the "delete" button in Mail remove it from the folder in Mail, but not in Gmail, unless it's a message that is expunged from the last visible IMAP folder, then it goes by the second set of settings (archive, trash, delete immediately) that are only available if "do not automatically expunge messages" is chosen...

  • Mail and Gmail are not syncing

    I am having the syncing problem when trying to set up my account. I've gone through the set up process multiple times double checking everything. When the page comes up "checking the IMAP server" it takes forever then comes to a screen that says "The IMAP server “mail.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable."
    The only problem is I check the internet connection and its fine. I check all my info and as far as I know, its fine.
    Please help!

    Hello onewhisdrums, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    This might be easy.
    Incoming Mail Server for IMAP should be...
    imap.gmail.com
    mail.gmail.com is for POP3, smtp.gmail.com is good for Outgoing on both.

    My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts. 

    Hello
    Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.
    > Email accounts Like Gmail, Outlook   ....
    > Social Media, like FaceBook Twitter ...
    > Apps you might be using.
    Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?

  • My Video and Audio are not syncing up after importing

    I am trying to edit a few Ipad Clips in premier pro.  My video and audio are not syncing.  They are .mov lower resolution from the ipad.  The original audio is fine - but after I put in a sequence the audio is off a few seconds (ahead).  I did not add any affects or change anything.  Please advise?
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Premiere does not work well with variable frame rate video which, I expect, the ipad produces, You might have to convert the footage before you import it into Premiere. Do a forum search for variable frame rate, there are a lot of posts.

  • Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

    My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video.  Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

    If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.
    One person having a Photo Booth problem, although not the same one as you are having solved it by running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions.

    No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

  • Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

    Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

    Your question doesn't make sense. Facebook has nothing to do with syncing an iDevice. Explain your problem if you want an answer.

  • HT1688 why am I getting appointments on my iPhone calendar that are in blue and they are not syncing with my Mac Book calendar?

    I started getting appointments I create on iphone 4s in blue instead of the green that is usual.  I am also noticing that these appointments that are in blue are not syncing with my other calendars on my other devices.  Icloud is enabled and calendars is checked.  This just started happening...

    Hello jricks8
    Check and see what calendar it is being added to. You may see it something that is local to the iPhone or another sync service that is not setup on your computer. Check out the page below to find out more information to sort you out.

  • My iphone and ipad are not syncing my Outlook diary

    When I sync my iPhone and iPad Air using iTunes (12.1.1.4) on Windows 8.1 and have ticked the "Sync calendars with Outlook" box on "Info" on both, the calendars are NOT synced. Is there some magical trick I am missing here?

  • When I downloaded I tunes and bought Match all 3 of my computers synced. Now I download a song from Amazon into Media player or burn a cd and they are not syncing with the other computers. I update match and have my boxes checked in preferences.

    When I originally downloaded i tunes and bought match all 3 of my computers synced. Now when I download a song from Amazon into media or burn a cd into media they are not syncing. I go in and update match thinking that might work, it hasn't. I have all of my boxes checked in preferences on all 3 computers.

    Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

  • Ios phone and Ipad are not syncing with each other

    Both devices are set up to sync with same icloud account. ios phone is sending imessages from my email address, and when i try switching it in settings, it wont appear on my ipad messages stream. 
    Logged on to my iclous account and none of my phots/info is appearing there.  made sure it is all set up to be backed up to icloud, but still not there/  It seems like the devices are not communicating with icloud...

    HI msknack,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that both of the devices are not syncing to match. Can you please check the following:
    *Are they on the same version of sync? (Android account should not list Firefox Sync (deprecated))
    *Are the managed items checked to be synced in the sync options?
    Posting back could help out other users as well.

  • Mac Mail and Gmail Sync

    Firstly, I'm posting this in the iCal section because there's not a dedicated Mail support section, and I think my question may be similar to some iCal concerns.
    With the advent of 10.6, I know it's now possible to sync your "Contacts" contained within your Mac address book with Gmail. I also know that for some time it has been possible to import your Gmail contacts to Mac Mail.
    My question considers the reverse - that is, it is possible to export your Mac Mail contacts to Gmail, and even better, possibly keep them synced. Often, Mail contacts and Address Book contacts are not one and the same. I'm specifically referring to the email addresses and names that Mail autocompletes when you type in the "To:" or "Cc:" fields. I only have 100 contacts in my address book; I know I have many more stored somewhere within Mail. As of now, however, I am unable to find them and unable to use them when using Gmail on the web. It would be great to be able to write an email to a new address in either Mail or Gmail, and be able to bring it up later from a different computer.
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Kevin

    It sounds like you've got Gmail set up in Mail on Leopard as a POP account. This would cause problems with how it synchronizes with other clients (like your iPhone) accessing the same mail account. The iPhone by default uses IMAP for Gmail access, which is what you should use if you are going to access Gmail with more than one client on a regular basis.
    Once that is done, make sure you use the recommended settings for Apple Mail in order for your Gmail account to behave properly.
    Lastly you should 'map' your folders so that Mail uses your Gmail folders for it's like folders. Using your Sent folder issue as an example, once you've set up Gmail to use IMAP you'll see a folder named [Gmail]/Sent. Click on that folder and go to the menu Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent. That folder will disappear from the folder pane and when you click on the Sent folder, the items in your Gmail Sent folder will now show up.
    Edit: I just noticed that you say your MBP is using Snow Leopard. The settings should be exactly the same, but in the future you should post your questions about Snow Leopard (10.6) in the Snow Leopard forum.
