Macbook and ipad do not show same inbox messages

I have a Macbook Pro and Ipad sitting together getting same strong wireless, connected to same email account, etc. yet new messages are flowing into the macbook but no new messages have showed up on the same account on the ipad for the past 3 hours, despite "Checking for Mail" all the time. Why? I want to get messages on both so I can take ipad out to read and such, not big laptop, also to send messages to myself. I expect the same messages to be shown and basically at the same time.
Is there any message size or attachement limit on ipad Mail that is not present on the macbook pro?
Thanks

Has the email account on your iPad ever worked at all. It seems as though you might have a problem with the email settings on the iPad. You may have the incoming mail server settings set up incorrectly.
However, if you have used the email account in the mail app on the iPad and this is a new behavior, try a couple of simple things first.
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?

In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.

HI,
The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
Some of this seems to be altering the way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.

My iPod nano and iPad are not showing on iTunes

Hi, I have an iPod nano 6g and an iPad that were working just finr a couple of days ago. Now my iTuns is not recognizing either of them ! I tried every solution possible in the Support section but nothing worked.
The thing I noticed while trying to fix this issue is that the "Apple Mobile Device Driver" in the Device Manager has a yellow triangle next to it. In this mode almost nothing happens when I plug in the iPod besides the ring tone, it does not appear neither in the iTunes nor in My computer. And nothing happens in my iPod itself as it doesn't show the "connecting" screen
When I choose "Update the driver" and I let it update automatically, it's title change from "Apple Mobile Device Driver" to "USB Mass Storage Device" and it will show a yellow mark too as soon as I oppen the iTunes. The iPod starts showing in My computer and the "connecting" screen appears in the iPod but my iTunes shows me this message:
And then automatically the "disconnecting" screen shows on my iPod.
When trying to change back to "Apple Mobile Device Driver" my windows tells that the driver is not digitally signed.
But even if I chose it it will go back to the state where my iPod will not show on my computer
The iPad however is not showing any sign of activity whatsoever, its almost like I didn't plug anything if not for the ring tone. It doesn't even show up on the Device manager !
I tried compleately removing then reinstalling iTunes several time but it didn't solve the issue. I Also tried dissabling all other programes to look for conflicts but that didn't help either :l

I tried every solution possible in the Support section but nothing worked.
Including the following?
iPod: Does not appear in Windows or iTunes and Device Manager is empty
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

Billed for iTunes and iPad purchases, not showing up in account

I realize I'm talking to fellow users here and not Apple support, but while I'm waiting for an answer from them, I'd like to find out if anyone else is currently having this problem.
I've spent maybe ten bucks on iTunes purchases via my iPad in the last twelve hours. I tried to buy a TV episode a couple of times last night, and got a message saying that the iTunes store was unable to process purchases at that time. So I waited and tried again in the morning, and the purchase seemed to go through. At the same time, I bought two comics via the Comixology app, and still didn't get any notification about something having gone wrong. All together, this should have added up to about nine or ten dollars.
However, none of these purchases are available. It's like I never made them in the first place. Despite that, Paypal is telling me that iTunes has billed me for roughly fifteen dollars more than what I would have spent on these things - their bills aren't itemized, so I can't figure out exactly what's going on. The purchases aren't even in my list of recent purchases, and the bills just don't line up with the money I would have spent. Also, I'm certain my devices haven't been used by anyone else, though you'd think I would at least have a record of the purchases if they had anyway.
Like I said, I'd just like to figure out if there is some kind of weird iTunes server issue going on that I don't know about. I'm in Pennsylvania, if that helps. I really need to get this resolved - I can't afford for iTunes to keep overcharging me and not even delivering my purchases in the bargain.

My problem was specific to the Address Book and iPhone syncing. All other aspects of sync worked.
After wasting way too much of my own time trying to fix this issue, I finally gave up and made an appt with the Genius Bar at my nearest Apple Store. It took HOURS. My laptop was taken into the back of the store several times so others could try to help. Finally, after a thorough, one by one plodding of my preferences - the problem was resolved! I do not have details of what was done to it while it was in the back room, but hopefully the Apple Techs share this kind of information with one another so future users can more easily get it fixed.
My advice: IF you are having trouble with your iPhone not being able to sync properly to your Address Book - take it in to an Apple Store! I was told the fix was not something I could have done on my own! Thankfully it is working fine - make that very well - ever since! Thanks you Geniuses - NOW put the information out there so others won't go through so much frustration and aggravation!

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

I want to use one apple id in my macbook and iPad but i don't want pics to get sync and show in both devices, how should i stop this ?

Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).

USB Flash Drive no longer shows on Desktop, it does appear in disk utility. I recently upgraded to 10.8 from 10.6 on both iMac and Macbook and the drive does the same on both.

I updated my Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have had only minor issues with some software but I plugged in a USB flash drive and went to format it, it now appears only in disk utility and not on the desktop. I have tried restarting and reseting with the drive in and out, I tried it into my macbook and it does exactly the same there. I can't do anything in Disk Utility so can't access it in any way and it says errors if I try to eject it from DU. I'm not normally stumped but I can't figure this out at all. I'm hoping that someone here could give me an idea that I haven't thought of as it's a large Flash Drive and I really would like to keep using it.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the drive is toast.
BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

My macbook pro, iphone, and ipad can not connect to the internet simultaneously. However my room mates computers that are not apple products are connected to the internet.

Occasionally my macbook, iphone, and ipad would not be connected to the internet at the same time. However, when they can connect, all three are connected at the same time. It is not my internet because my room mates computers are connected to the internet the whole time without any problems. When I can't connect, I can still see the network name on th wifi network search. However, when I click connect, the only message that pops up is can not join network.

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?
