Mail accounts on multiple devices not staying synchronized

Hi
I'm having trouble with keeping my Gmail accounts synchronized. I have a MacBook Air running Mavericks and an iMac also running 10.9.2.
After deleting many emails from the Gmail account on the MacBook, the same emails are not being deleted from my iMac.
I believe I have the Gmail account settings the same on both computers.
I'm not really clear what the synchronize functions of Mail do, since not much seems to happen when I click on them.
I didn't have this problem until recently updating Mavericks, but I am not sure if that is the cause.
I'm not really sure how to trouble shoot this one, which is why I am asking for help.

Hi
Thanks. Still going nuts with this.
Do I need to also delete the un-synched accounts from my mobile devices? Or just the computers using Mavericks?

How to manage my "non-icloud" mail account on multiple devices?

I have setup my Apple mail account on my ipad mini and my iMac to receive e-mail messages via my e-mail address established through my internet service provider (comcast.net). How do I configure the Apple mail account so that actions (i.e. delete) in the mail account of one device also occurs in the mail account of the other device?

YOu only can if the mail provider use imap or exchange protocol the old pop3 does not

Mail accounts on many devices

I have set 3 different mail accounts on all my devices ( iPhone 4s , 3Gs macbook pro 15",macbook 12")
On my iPhones and on a specific account I get a message "the message has not been downloaded from
the server" or "not possible to download the message from the server" (the exact wording may be different
as I get the message in Greek) . Needless to say that I have set all devices to keep the message on the server
indefinitely. Please help.Thanks.

Are your email accounts setup as POP3 or IMAP?
It sounds as though they are setup as POP3.
For best results accessing email accounts from multiple devices they should be setup as IMAP.
POP3 accounts are generally only suitable for single device usage. Some POP3 email providers 'lock' the account from being accessed from multiple devices at the same time. IMAP doesn't have these restrictions.

HT204380 Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Yes you can use the same Apple ID on multiple devices and FaceTime with each one. You have to associate a different email address on all but one of the devices.
Lets say you have two iPads and two iPods..... All sharing the same Apple ID. When you set up FaceTime on three of the devices, you have to associate another mail address in Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for Video calls at>Add Another email address. Add a different email address in that setting and let Apple verify the address.
After that email address has been verified by Apple (they send you an email to that address so look for it in the inboxes of that email account and follow the instructions in the email), then remove the Apple ID email address on each of those three devices. You can use the primary Apple ID email on the fourth device.
Obviously, you have to have additional email addresses but you can set up free email accounts with AOL, Yahoo, gmail .... and you can use the email address just for FaceTime if you like.

One account on multiple devices

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to get one account on multiple devices. I know that a personal iTunes account is allowed on at least five devices but I'm trying to get one business account on say "100 devices" is this possible?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi rRamiro,
You are correct that with personal Apple IDs you can download apps on 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). The only way to use a single Apple ID on say 100 devices is through the use of Apple Configurator. (click the link and scroll down to the section for Apple Configurator to learn more)
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. Most developers will offer a 50% discount on their app when 20 or more VPP licenses are purchased in a single transaction.
With Apple Configurator you can distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
Hope this answers your question!

Color settings not staying synchronized

Using the latest versions of CS6. I've launched Bridge, go to "Edit", "Creative Suite Color Settings", select my setting and Apply. All applications are now synced to use the same color settings. I can check InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop and it will show the suites being synchronized. If I quit the applications, then go back into any of the applications later in the day or the next day, and check the color settings, it will usually show the creative suites as not being synchronized. Not sure why it's not staying synchronized. Anyboy have any ideas as to why that is?

Curt,
Thanks for the response. I'm using a Mac. Sorry I didn't mention that previously. I do not have Bridge set to launch at startup. Just checked the Color settings for the first time today, and so far still synchronized. But, no telling for how long. Just seems to randomly go out of sync. But, as far as I can tell, even when it says it's not in sync, when I check the other apps, they appear to be still using the same color settings, they just say they aren't in sync.

I've already had to update the dovecot.conf once <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3792>, but I can't tell if this is on the Dovecot side or the OD side.

Many thanks to Apple Enterprise Tech Support.
The access control list for mail was not set to all users and groups.
To fix:
(1) In Server Admin, select the server.
(2) Select the 'Access' panel.
(3) Select the 'Mail' service'
(4) Set the radio button to 'Allow all users and groups'.
Previously I'd had mail restricted to 'only users and groups below'.

How do I sync my mail accounts on multiple apple products?

My live.com account will not sync with my iphone and ipad. If I receive and delete emails on my phone, I have to do the whole process again with the same emails once I am on my ipad/laptop. I have 2 accounts and one of them is in sync with my other devices but my live.com account is not. Is there a way to sync my account on all my apple devices to where once I delete or look at an email, I don't have to do it again on all my other apple devices?

Hi
You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

ISE1.1 - Use of one guest account on multiple devices

I have ISE1.1 with local web authentication process for "Guest" Wi-Fi. I faced a problem in bulk guest account creation and TAC filed a bug - CSCup38457: "importing guest account CSV fails via sponsor portal"
Now, I need to allow guests to connect to "Guest" Wi-Fi using multiple devices (approx. 200). My queries are below:
1- Is it possible to permit one guest account to be used by approx. 200 devices at same time?
2- On how many devices single guest account can be used?
3- Is there any limitation or abnormal behavior in terms of guest portal for such cases?

Are you sure that is true?
When I look at the restriction on device registration I read that as applicable only to Device Self Registration, not to normal guest access.
So as far as guest sessions per user I can either choose to limit to one with the check box, or allow infinite.
And the Device Registration Portal Limit applies to self registration of devices, not just standard guest access. The OP doesn't look like he wants to register devices, he just wants to allow guest access for multiple devices.
This is how I read it anyway. Please let me kno if you think otherwise.
If this is not the case, then is it not possible to create a standard Network Access User (not through guest portal) and have as many users access this as you need? In this case 200. As long as you disable password changes/expirations/lockouts etc.
If not I may be in trouble :-)

Can I share an iTunes account with multiple devices?

I had an iPhone 3GS. Just upgraded to an iPhone 5C. I'd like to save the 3GS for our daughter to use as an iPad Touch. I realize that I'll need to wipe the 3GS clean and start over with new apps for her. I have a few questions:
Can I use my same iTunes account for both devices, or must I create a new iTunes account for my daughter's app and music purchases?
How do I change the device name in iTunes, so that her iPhone no longer bears my name?
Also, can I sync both devices on the same computer, or is it better to use different computers for the two devices?
Thank you!

Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

Now with iCloud mail, do I delete my Mac and Me Mail accounts on my devices?

My computer and Iphone had email accounts for Mac mail and Mobileme (I think they are duplicates when mac changed to me and I just left them).
Now with Icloud uploaded and configured for all my devices, it appears that both accounts are there but one appears never to be connected and they both quite often ask for my password in that pop up window. So my questions are.
1. Can I eliminate (delete) one from my Mac Laptops? Which one if the answer is yes.
2. On my Iphone: there is only an Icloud and Mac mail accounts (mobileme never came over). Should I keep both?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated as its a bit confusing as to how it all ties together.

iCloud uses your mac mail account. If you haven't already done so, here is the sequence to follow:
1. If you have a Mac, upgrade it to 10.7.2.
2. Upgrade any iDevices to 10.5
3. Go to iCloud.com and follow the process to transfer your mail account to iCloud.
It sounds like you've done most of that. The rejected password issue is due to the fact that iCloud is experiencing some intermittant growing pains problems. It kind of comes and goes. If you've managed to connect once, your solid. Just be a little patient as the iCloud mail service usually comes back fairly quickly.

I have deleted my e mail account and now can not set it up again as it will not recognise my account details although they are the same as before

I am trying to set up my e mail account on my I phone after deleting it but even though I am putting in the same details it does not recognise my account details how can I set up my e mail?

Just call your internet supplier and ask for the correct settings for the email

E-mail Account needs multiple password verifications.

Greetings,
Recently I have had to "Validate" my e-mail account {as many as 20 times per day}The message from blackberry is that the email account is no longer accessible by my blackberry device. this issue is likely caused by a recent change to the password used to access this account.I haven't changed my password lately nor to I want to.
Any ideas why I have had to validate my password so often?
Thanks to all that may help.
