Mail not showing as Read between devices

I have a macbook pro running on OSX and an iPhone 5. Whenever i get mail on either of my devices and i open the email and "read" it, it does not show as read on myother device. I have 3 hotmail accounts and 1 gmail account, and they all seem to have the same issue. Any ideas how to fix this?

Mail not showing as read across devices

I have my macbook, iphone, and (new) imac all setup as icloud accounts for email. All email is coming through just fine on each device. However on the new imac messages which have been "read" on the iphone or on the macbook are still showing up as unread in mail on the imac. Any clues?

I'm have the same problem with an iCloud @me.com email address across my iphone, new iPad, and MacBook Pro. Everything is running the lastest and greatest software/OS updates.

Why does my mail not sync as read across devices ios7 and mavericks

When I read an email on one device why does it not show as read on my other devices. I end up having to go through my mail three times. Is their an option I haven't clicked or is my mail not set up right.
I have various accounts running in my mac mail two gmail, two outlook.
If any one can help would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Your email accounts have to use the imap protocol in order to sync across devices.Are all your email accounts on all devices configured to use the imap protocol?

ATV not showing in the iTunes device list? Check your HTTP proxy config

Seems like many people are having trouble getting their ATV to show up in the iTunes Devices list. Here's my situation, and the root cause:
1. I have a small network at home consisting of one LAN with a number of computers, and a gateway router that provides DHCP, DNS and HTTP (web) proxy services
2. I found that my ATV would display in the Devices list only when the ATV and at least one Mac were isolated from the rest of my network; when I connected them back to the rest of the LAN the ATV disappeared from the Devices list (in the simplest case this isolation was a crossover cable between the Mac and ATV)
3. when connected to the whole LAN, the ATV could successfully contact the iTunes Store (trailers, etc) but would not show up in the Devices list
4. I could ping the ATV from the Mac running iTunes every time (i.e. I did not have a basic connectivity problem; e.g. "ping appletv.local." always worked)
5. I started with my ATV on v1.1, when I upgraded to 2.0 and turned on the the iTunes' "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" option ATV always appeared in the speaker list (i.e. even when it wasn't in the Devices list)
I had gone through the Apple troubleshooting guides, with no change.
After a lot of elimination I discovered that my problem was with my web proxy settings: my Macs were configured to use my gateway router for HTTP, and it seems that iTunes connects back to the Apple TV via HTTP - these requests were sent to the proxy and rejected (as they were for an address on the inside LAN; this is the way my proxy was configured).
I fixed the problem by using a PAC file specifying my LAN as "DIRECT" (e.g. below). An alternative would have been to configure my proxy to allow connections from the LAN back into the LAN (but be careful about allowing access from elsewhere, e.g. the Internet).
Here's my PAC file: my LAN is in the 10.0.0.0/8 address space, domain *.home.lan. (iTunes seems to contact the AppleTV via it's IP address, e.g. http://10.0.0.169:3689/ript/fp-setup?fairPlayID=4a5...):
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
// simple hostname
if (dnsDomainLevels(host) == 0) {return "DIRECT";}
// match Host against local domains (w/ optional :port)
var dom = /(127\.\d.d+.d+|.local.?|10.d+.d+.d+|.home.lan.?)(:d)?/;
if(dom.test(host)) { return "DIRECT"; }
// All other requests go through port 8080 of proxy
// should that fail to respond, go directly to the WWW:
return "PROXY proxy.home.lan:8080; DIRECT";
The reason the ATV was successfully appearing in the Devices list when it and a Mac were isolated from the rest of the LAN was that the Mac was unable to reach the proxy, and falling back to the 'DIRECT' connection.
Note: if you don't have basic connectivity, e.g. if ping appletv.local. doesn't work, then the above is almost certainly not your problem.

Hi There,
I have the exact same issue going on that this person described in this thread, but with the EXCEPTION in my case being that, after I have plugged my device into my laptop and uplugged it (about 10 consecutive times), my iTunes FINALLY recognizes my iPod Touch.
This is extremely frustrating to have to go through this scenerio each and every single time I want to synch and charge my Touch. Is there any way to correct it, so that the device would be recognized immediately when I first plug it in? It used to work this way (prior to the v.10 update, most likely).
Thanks!

My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

Ipod touch is not showing up as a device in itunes, how can I sync it?

Hi just wondering how to sync my ipod touch using itunes - when the ipod will not show up as a device. I am having trouble with the ipod as it is displaying the incorrect date, will not access my email etc. However when I go to sync it (thinking this would help) it does not even show upin itunes. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
For the other problem go to Settings>General>International and make sure the calendar is set to Gregorian. The reset time and date. That may resolve the mail problem

When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device.

When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device. I have tried the advice provided by Apple. I have gone through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant. That gave no solutions. I have tried the other solutions offered by Apple. I think that I have possibly identified the problem. As far as I know the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not installed on my computer. I have tried to install it but when I do I receive an error message. I repeat the entire error message in the following paragraph. The message appears in a dialogue box with the name: "Update Driver Software - iPhone".
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Access is denied. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
I cannot find a solution to this problem on Apple's website. How can I get this driver installed?

ITunes not showing content on iOS devices

So I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad, both running iOS 4.2.1 under iTunes version 10.1.1. For some reason, whenever I click any of the content tabs under each device (Music, Books, Videos, etc.), iTunes shows that there is nothing on the device even though I can clearly play and view the content on the device itself. I know there have been some issues with 4.2.1 and content not showing up on the device, but has there been any sort of fix on content not being viewable through iTunes? Thanks!

Also note, this isn't just movies... it happens with music, TV shows, and books as well. The remote devices can see and play them, but it will not show up in the local iTunes list.
Additionally, in the "shared" libraries section for iTunes on other computers, the items also do not show up in that list.

IPhone 4s not showing up in manage devices

My wife's iPhone 4s shows up in the side bar of iTunes and sincs fine, but does not show up in Manage devices on her account, where as her iPad does. it clearly shows you how to remove devices, but how can we add one?

"Manage Devices" appears under the broad heading "iTunes in the Cloud". I suggest you (or she) do this on her iPhone 4S:
Go to Settings > iCloud and make sure she is signed on there with her Apple ID.

Why is my iPad is not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author?

Why is my iPad not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author? iBook ver is up to date. iTunes sees the iPad. What gives...
Message was edited by: drydruid

OK, the problem is partly solved. iBooks Author is not 'smart' enough to realize the iPad had been plugged-in and iBook on if all that happens after iBooks Author is already started. On the off chance that that was the problem I Quit iBA, made sure the iPad was connected and iBook was on then restarted iBA. Sure enough, there it was.
I really like Mac's but sometimes they're not as smart as they think they are.

My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

My classic iPod is not showing up anymore under devices in my iTunes library. How do I get it to be recognized so I can transfer my iPhone purchases to my classic iPod?

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:
