Mail inbox not in sync between computers

I'm having an issue where Mac mail is unable to keep my inbox synchronized between two Macs.
Both Macs are running Mavericks and both have all the latest updates, including the recent mail update.
The source account is a Gmail account configured as IMAP. I did not customize the IMAP settings which I know was the source of some problems in the past.
The problem I'm having is: if I work at one computer and I delete mail, the deleted mail is still visible in the inbox on the other computer and I have to delete it again. If I check my Gmail account via the web interface I cannot see the deleted messages, so I know they are not really in my inbox anymore.
I've been using Mail for years with no problem until now.

Did you install the Mail update from a few days ago?  Run Software Update and see if there's something to install.  Gmail's "IMAP" is not real IMAP and there are some issues with Mavericks mail and Gmail's IMAP support that were largely addressed in a recent update.

  • ITunes won't sync between computers!

    I have two macs, one a late 2010 Macbook Pro that I use for University, and a Mac Mini Late 2012 that I use whilst at home.
    I buy most of my music from the Mac Mini, but when I come to listen to it on my MBP, it won't sync! It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    I've tried all the normal proedures; turning everything on and off again, going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing! It says everything is synced up nad its not! Very annoying!
    I look forward to anyones earliest reply,

    Correct. iTunes does not sync between computers.
    It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    You mean it automatically downloaded.
    going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing!
    Because it has already been downlaoded.
    It says everything is synced up nad its not!
    You mean it says everything has already been downloaded (not synced).
    On both computers...
    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Music under Automatic downloads.
    Now when you purchase on one, the other will automatically download (not sync) new purchases.

  • Any way to sync between computers?

    I can't sync my Tungsten E2 to my Vista 64 computer.  But I can sync to my XP Pro computer (32).  Is there a way to sync between the computers?  Or to use the files on the XP on the Vista 64?
    Thanks,

    You cannot sync between computers, What can be done though, to get the data from your E2 to the Vista 64 bit PC is to sync by bluetooth. You can check in your device manager to see if the PC already has bluetooth installed. If it does just find the bluetooth port on your PC, put the E2 a couple of inches away from the PC and in hotsync manager choose to hot sync by bluetooth. If you don't have bluetooth already installed on your PC you will need to purchase a USB bluetooth dongle, install the drivers that come with it and then sync. The first time you sync it could take a little while depending on how much data you have on the device.  Hope this helps.....

  • My iPad 1 mail does not always sync completely through iCloud

    Background: Over the last week or so I have noticed that my iPad mail does not always sync completely with either mail on my iPhone or iMac.  It receives all messages but does not always delete or file them as managed on either on my iMac or iPhone.  My iPad and iPhone mail settings are the same and set to "push".  My iPhones does not have this issue.  All other syncs such as addresses, calendar and photo stream seem to work just fine.  Is this due to my iPad mail settings or an Apple iCloud issue?

    Do you have Sync Books selected in the Books Tab in iTunes?

  • Stored passwords not syncing between computers.

    I'm trying to use Firefox to Syncronize data between computers. It was working, but somewhere along the way it has stopped. I now have three computers, of which I'm trying to have two of them synced together. I thought that the issue was account related, so I deleted my original account & had to create a new one (with a different e-mail address - I'd like to change that back if possible). Anyhow, now it seems as if bookmarks are synced OK, but my saved passwords are not. Given that I can't tell what the status is of a sync, it is hard for me to tell where the process is.
    So, I have one computer (a Macbook) with passwords on it that I am syncing and I have another (a new Dell Laptop), that I would like to have updated.
    What do I need to do to get my passwords synchronized?
    Thank you,
    Paul

    Make sure that you are forcing syncing by pressing Sync Now in your computers and allow some time (several minutes) to have all the information sent to the server and down from the server. If this still doesn't work, follow the steps in this blogpost to create a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    This would be really helpful. I've seen other people having issues with passwords but I'm unable to replicate it.

  • IPhone Mail inbox not syncing with Mac inbox

    Greetings
    Since upgrading my MBP recently, mail in my iPhone Mail inbox/sent items has not been syncing fully with my Mac Mail inbox/sent items.
    Messages which are moved to folders stored On My Mac remain in my iPhone inbox.
    Messages which are moved to folders stored in iCloud are removed from my iPhone in inbox and are visible as they should be in the iCloud folders on my iPhone.
    I use both an iCloud email account as well as an account through my domain host. I do not use Gmail or an Exchange account, and tis problem dud not occur with my old MBP.
    Any advice most gratefully received.
    Sashina.

    Hi KiltedTIm
    Hmmm. I've changed my Mac, iPhone and iPad all from POP to IMAP. On my Mac there are only two items in the inbox in question, but on both mobile devices are every bit of mail from that account (not in filed iCloud folders) going back to 17 April. I've restarted both devices but everything is still in the inbox.
    Any further ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Windows Mail App not Auto Syncing

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
    my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
    sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help! 

    Hi,
    Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
    So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
    In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
    If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.

  • Aren't Safari bookmarks supposed to sync between computers?

    I think that Safari bookmarks are suppose to be the same across all of one's computers running the same OS. But that is not the case between my iMac running OS X Mountain Lion and my MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion. Any help?

    OK, the service list is updated when you sign in.

  • ICal won't sync between computers / iphones

    Since I started my free trial with mobileme, I have been trying to synch calendars between two desktop computers and two iPhones. No luck.
    I have established a number of calendars on my me.com account, using my iMac. I also share these calendars with only those people I invite. I can see these calendars on the iCal on my iMac, but I cannot see these calendars on my MacBook Pro iCal. When I open an email on my MacBook Pro, alerting me to the Mobile Me calendar, I cannot join that calendar: "You can't join calendars you're sharing."
    So how can I get all of the calendars to sync between both computers? If I resolve that problem, maybe the iPhone sync will resolve itself.

    I got some help from MobileMe Support. Here's how they solved the problem.
    On the laptop, open iCal and click the word iCal at top of the screen. Choose Preferences. 2. Click Accounts. 3. Click the plus button at the bottom of the page. 4. From the "Account Type," please choose "CalDAV." Enter your full MobileMe email address, including the @me.com suffix. If you don't include @me.com, the setup will not be successful. 5. Enter your MobileMe password. 6. For the Server address, please enter: cal.me.com 6. Click the Create button.

  • Only partly sync between computers

    I am interested in syncing my history to two other computers, and in the future I wish all the computers to be in sync with history. But when I use Firefox Sync, only some of my visited homepages are synced to the other computers.
    For example, yesterday I search on google for “backup safari history” and this is not in sync. But few minutes later I search for “firefox sync only sync some”, and for some reason this is in sync!? I think it is not a time problem, because I let it sync for a couple of hours.
    I have tried different solutions. I have tried to make a new Sync account, and it didn’t make a difference. I have tried to use Xmarks without luck. Lastly, I have tried to export the history to another browser, so I could use a Sync option from another browser, but it is only possible to export bookmarks and not history.
    Some statistic:
    Yesterday I visited 107 homepage on my computer (only 87 was visible on another computer)
    Last 7 days 1659 (1265)
    January 266 (215)
    December 5477 (2127)
    November 305 (67)
    October 460 (2)
    September 450 (449)
    Older 3220 (8)
    Does anyone have a solution for this, so all my history can be synced?

    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync#w_how-much-of-my-data-is-syncedvv <br />
    History of sites visited in the last 60 days
    You could try increasing your Sync Quota and see if you get more of your history to Sync, but that 6o days max might be coded in and affected by the Quota setting.

  • Pages won't sync between computers in iCloud drive

    Since I upgraded to iCloud Drive, I can't get my documents to sync between my laptop and desktop.
    Before I upgraded, I could write on the laptop and it would sync with the desktop and vid-versa.
    I upgraded to Yosemite thinking this would solve the problem. it did not. I upgraded to pages 5.5 on both. Still no success. Any ideas, or is this something you can't do on Drive. And if you can't, is there a way to go back to the old Cloud? I hate moving files manually -- always afraid I'm writing over the wrong thing.
    Thanks.

    Hi matthewfromconifer;
    The following would be helpful, I suppose:
    1- Make a backup of iCloud Drive docs (for precaution) .
      2- Go to System Preferences > iCloud
      3- iCloud Drive > Options. Uncheck all the applications listed.
      4- Turn off iCloud Drive.
       5- Delete the CloudKit folder from:
              ~/Library/Caches
       6- Restart the Mac.
       7- Turn on iCloud Drive
      This completely resets iCloud Drive and downloads a clean set of data from iCloud.

  • Yahoo Mail Inbox Not Working

    It seems that the Yahoo Mail Inbox has stopped fetching any messages (old or new). It will get all email from other Yahoo Mail folders... just not the inbox. I want to say it's been a problem for the last 2-3 days. The status message on the iPhone just says "Checking for Mail" and hangs.
    Anyone else having this same problem?
    Thanks.

    For better or for worse, this solution below works, found at iLounge. I'd love to know what constitutes a "corrupt email" (that is fine by PC/browser but the iPhone can't handle).

    I called an Apple tech and have a solution for the problem stated by the OP and myself:
    1) Login your Yahoo account from your computer
    2) Create a folder named InboxTest and move every email sitting in your Inbox into this new folder.
    3) Compose a new email from Yahoo and send it to yourself (the Yahoo account that isn't working)
    4) Close your browser, do not check/read your Yahoo account from your computer
    5) Go to your iPhone > Mail > Yahoo > Inbox and tap the refresh button
    5a) There is a possibility that the email you sent yourself got diverted to your Bulk/Junk folder automatically so if you don't see anything check that folder
    5b) You may need to reset your iPhone (hold home + sleep button)
    After you restart your iPhone, your InboxTest folder should show up, and your Inbox should be downloading new emails correctly. If your Inbox starts working again, do not open the InboxTest folder from your iPhone -- you will need to login from your computer again and go through the various emails in the InboxTest folder, one of them is corrupt or caused the issue to begin with... so delete any that you don't need
    I hope this helps, it's the procedure as I could remember it when I was talking to the Apple tech... it may not be step by step but I think it will work -- if not just call Apple.

  • Photo Stream not in sync between iOS devices...

    This may not actually be a technical issue - it may be the way that it's designed. But if it is, then it seems pretty flawed.
    I own an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Macbook Pro. Photo Stream pictures are not in sync - ie: I deleted several from my Apple TV earlier but they appear on all other devices and don't seem to be updating.
    Is this the way it should be?
    Any help welcomed.
    Thanks

    Thank you for that, it's strange you can't do the same thing from the supplied remote.
    However, the previous response still applies, deleting photos from photostream on a device only deletes them on that device. (If you do it on the phone for example, it tells you that).

  • Game progress not being synced between devices

    I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) and my game progress isn't being synced between devices. Both use the same Game Centre account and I have iCloud correctly set up on both devices. I do understand that some games don't support this feature but I have many games that definitely do yet they still don't sync. I did notice games that save data in the "Documents &amp; Data" section do actually sync my progress between devices, but games like Cut the Rope, Where's my Water etc don't. I've tried searching online to find a fix for this issue but I can't find anything. Hopefully someone here has experienced the same thing and might be able to help, any help would be very much appreciated.

    Only the games that are compatible. Most aren't
    That is why I referred you to their support. It can be happening by connecting to itunes, by connecting to game server, by connecting to Facebook, all depends on particulars of that game.

  • New Sync between computers using iPod

    Steve said that you should be able to sync music between two computers one being a mac, and the other being a PC, im trying to do that now, but when i insert the ipod into the PC it says they aren't formatted for a PC, im just not sure how its suppose to work. The iPod is first sync'd on a Powerbook and then disconnected and pluged into the PC. Anyone have this working please let me know how, and yes I have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on both systems.
    G4 Powerbook 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I also have a PC

    Steve Jobs said and ill quote "This is the abilty to more eaily move content that you've purchesed on the iTunes Music Store between your various computers, so lets say you have a computer at home and at work, could be two macs could be two pcs could be a mixture, dosen't really matter, but they are both running iTunes 7 and they are both authorized with your account, they are both authorized for the same account. You can now take your ipod and sync it with your computer at home say carry it to work and that content will automatically sync back up to your work computer." Now i understand sometimes things don't work correctly the first time they are released, being a software developer and all i really understand this, however if it does work i'd appreciate help if someone has does this.
