Mail Notes not synching

I just updated my iPhone and all my Macs to the new MobileMe, but I am having a problem getting my Notes to sync onto my other macs. I won't get started on how stupid it is for Notes and ToDos not to sync to their corresponding iPhone native apps (ie, if I have notes created on my mac, why don't they sync to the "Notes" app on my iPhone and vice versa!) Anyway, I got MobileMe running on all my devices and have sync up all my data to the cloud, but for some reason, I can't get my notes associated with my MobileMe account to sync. I've already checked to make sure that the notes are in the notes folder for the e-mail, not the "On My Mac" folder. I've even tried reseting my notes via System Prefs>MobileMe>Sync>Advance>Reset (Notes). I just can't get them to display on my other Macs. I'm have not yet seen them get deleted from my iPhone via the MobileMe Cloud and am nervous to find out what syncing happens on my other Mac desktops after i sync.
Has anyone else having this problem? Solved it, yet?

I had some initial problems with this. A problem seems to be if todos and notes were created under one email address they won't sync to other computers once you've created your .me address.
I had first of all (on my Mac) to select the mailbox and then click the Note icon in the tool bar to create a note. Once I'd saved that a new mailbox appeared: Reminders > Notes > MobileMe.
I then had to drag all my existing notes to that new Mailbox. After syncing, the new mailbox and its contents appeared on my iPod and all synced computers, but NOT on MobileMe, which is very odd.
It's the same process with ToDos.
Now of course the Notes app on the iPod has nothing to do with all this and still doesn't appear to sync to anything. You can create notes in it and email them to your .me account, and then copy and paste them into a new Mail note (you can't just drag it to a Notes folder, naturally, because that would be too intuitively obvious). Similarly, if you create a note in Mail on the iPod it gets sent as an email and you'd have to copy and paste to turn it back into a Note on the receiving Mac.
But where are the Notes and Tasks on MobileMe? Those folders just aren't displaying.

Apple Mail not synching Gmail

I'm running 10.9.4 with no virus software running and for some reason in the last week my gmail stopped synching to my laptop, but it still synchs to my iphone and ipad. I've tried deleting and reloading the account, quiting mail, restarting my computer, etc. nothing seems to work. I know I'm not the only person with this problem does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Hello Paul.
The thing is, Mail wouldn’t be able to remove your mail from Gmail’s server even if you told it to do so. Gmail POP access doesn’t work like a normal POP mail server would, and one of its idiosyncrasies is precisely that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client such as Mail.
Your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server. What happens to the messages on the server after a POP client has downloaded them is determined by Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP > When messages are accessed with POP setting alone. If your messages are being removed from the server after Mail has downloaded them, it has to be because you’ve configured Gmail (not Mail) that way...

If I read the email on my iphone, the MBA and Imac receive the info and count it as read
If i read the email on any of my mac, the other mac and the iphone count it as read.
2) If I send an email to my @me.com all 3 devices gets the email
If i read the email on my iphone the MBA and the IMAC recevice the info and count is as read.
if i read the email on any of my mac, The other mac count the email as read BUT the Iphone keep saying that I have an unread mail.

Close the Mail app on the Iphone completly
Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.

if you read an icoud email on your iPhone, iPad or iPad it will update the "Read" status on a Mac
But if you read the same iCloud email on your Mac it WILL NOT update the "Read" status on you iPhone,iPad or iPod (FACT)
Along with 1000's of others I have been experiencing this for some years now
The above link to the Apple support Document will confirm this to you, the relevant section says
"If you read one of your iCloud email messages in the Mail application on your computer, that email will still appear in your unread mail count on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until you open Mail on that device. Once you open Mail on the iOS device, the message status will be updated."

Icloud mail not synching on computer

I am using Lion and icloud with my Ipad 2, Iphone 4 and Mac Pro desktop. The Ipad and phone sync fine but the Mac pro does not sync in Mail. Emails that I have already read and erased on the ipad or phone still come up as unread on the Mac Pro.
Anyone have any advice?

Replied Arrow in Mac Mail not synching properly between Macs

Hi there
We have a mac pro and a macbook both with mac mail. The email account is a gmail account and the two Macs are synchronised by mobileme. I have noticed that the macbook does not show reply arrows on emails replied to on the mac pro and the mac pro shows some reply arrows of that replied to on the macbook but not all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Donna

I signed out of iCloud, deleted every mail account I had added into the mail app on my mac, restarted the mac and signed into iCloud again.
What it did was sync ONLY my iCloud account's mails. My 2 gmail accounts and one hotmail wasn't synced into the mail app. It was strange because under 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars', I could see every one of those accounts, but when I attempted to tick 'Mail', the spinning icon would appear and thats it. It would spin indefinitely.
Doesn't iCloud keep ALL my email accounts seamlessly synced across my devices, and not just the Apple-certified email accounts that end with '@icloud.com'?

IMAP question - Sent mail not synching to IMAP server

I have several new IMAP accounts (not .mac). They sync fine for received mail. They also sync sent mail fine when I use Thunderbird. But When I use Mail (X.3 - panther), even though I have the box checked to store sent mail on the server, it does not.
--> no sent mail folder is created.
--> mail sent from apple mail does nto show up in Thunderbird
Is this a known bug?
How can I work around it?
Is it fixed in Tiger?
Thanks, I have searched the archives. no luck.
Grant

no messages are ever added to it when I send from Apple Mail. The one email I sent from thunderbird does show up (in both). In another account, the one email I sent from webmail at the Madrid airport shows up, but not the hundreds I have sent in the interim.
Sorry about the confusion.

Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

Hi there,
I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.

Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4. I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago. I do not have an iPhone, but that's next. I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
The issue:
Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on. BUT, this depends:
     a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
     b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
     i.e Assume MacBook is powered off. I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM. If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook. However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
Confused? So am I. To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3. I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago. I do not know if this is related.
Another issue: SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order. In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM). Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification). Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM). Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices). One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar. For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above. I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
Thanks,
HankSTL

Sent email from my iPhone not synching with my desktop Mac

I am stumped. When I send email from my iPhone (using my POP account) the email is sent, shows up in my iPhone sent folder but does not show up in the sent folder in the Mail application on my desktop plus the little icon showing that I responded is not there. I guess it is not synching. This is a problem because I often don't recall if I responded to an email from my iPhone and I end up responding again to the email when I see it on my Mac desktop. My synch is working great with contacts and calendars, both push and fetch. I am also receiving emails, push and fetch, just fine. Can anyone offer advice or insight? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad. Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad. What am I missing? I have Lion.

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

TS3999 my outlook calendar is not synching through icloud even though both PC and iphone set up that way

This is weird, i am not good at open inquiry.. but think something simple is not set. I did have synching initially when accepted icloud synch, instead of direct connect of iphone and PC. Something has changed on Calendars and thus appts are not synching. HELP!

If new events added to your phone are not appearing on your calendar on icloud.com, one thing to check on your phone is Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. This should be set to your iCloud calendar. Then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if it syncs to icloud.com properly.
If your settings are correct and new events on your phone are still not syncing to your calendar on icloud.com, add any missing events on your iPhone to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your calendar will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event to your phone and see if it syncs to icloud.com now.

Iphone 5 will not synch, itunes stops responding

I have had my iphone 5 for over a year. In the last month when I plug it in, itunes will freeze up and stop responding. I can not synch, add new music, new movies. I have to shut down itunes. This happens whether I plug in my iphone or my husband's iphone (both iphone 5's). Without an iphone plugged in, itunes will not freeze. My iPad air synchs just fine.
We have shut down the computer, we have tried numerous times. All software is up to date. Itunes is running 11.2.0.115. The iphones are running iOS 7.1.1. This was happening on iOS 7.1 but I don't believe it was happening before that update.
Any ideas?

Hi gt7473c,
It sounds like iTunes works fine until you connect your iPhones. The article below provides several tips that can resolve the issue including suggestions that will help isolate the issue to the iOS devices or computer.
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
Symptoms
In rare instances, iTunes may become unresponsive when connecting an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer. iTunes may become responsive again after you disconnect the device from the computer.
Resolution
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Install any available software updates for your computer.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
Test with automatic syncing disabled.Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
Check your device for podcasts. If there are any podcasts, manually delete all podcast episodes from the device by sliding your finger across the podcast episode's name and tapping Delete. Once all podcasts are removed from your device, reconnect it to the computer, open iTunes, and test.
If possible, test to see if connecting your device to a different computer with the latest version of iTunes installed resolves the issue.
Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the following folder, based on your operating system:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\[username]\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (The "~" represents your Home folder)
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
If any files are in this folder, move them to the Desktop temporarily.
Open iTunes and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may leave these iTunes plug-ins removed. If you wish to re-use these iTunes plug-ins, consult the vendor for the iTunes plug-ins to see if any updates are available.
If the issue also occurs on a different computer:
If the issue does not occur on a different computer, or no other computer is available to try:

Cloud not synching between phone/imac/mac book pro, calendar and addresses not synching.

addresses and calendar not synching between 3 devices.. phone, iMac and mac book pro.
dates are correct, iCloud is on for those applications. etc.

Your profile shows that you are running OS X 10.6.7. If that's true, you will need to update a iCloud requires OS X 10.7.5 or later. If you are running a more recent version of OS X and your data still isn't syncing, check to be sure of the following:
That your Mac and iOS devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have Calendars and Contacts turned on in Settings (System Preferences)>iCloud.
That you have selected iCloud as your Default Account for contacts in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Contacts (Address Book)>Preferences>General on your Macs.
That you have selected an iCloud calendar as your Default Calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars on your iOS devices and in Calendar (iCal)>Preferences>General on your Macs.

IPad3 with IOS 7 not synching Notes or reminders

I'm having a problem with reminders on my iPad3 after upgrade to IOS7. Added to this my Notes are not synching from the iPad either. Both Apps will synch between the iMac and iPhone5, which is also on IOS7. But nothing pushes to the iPad and nothing that I create in the iPad will go to the other devices. Very frustrating.
On the iPad notes and reminders do not appear in the background app refresh list.
I have tried removing the mail accounts but this makes no difference to the notes app. All the settings for mail look right, notes settings have the correct account as default. I have tried a reset which has not helped and now I'm at a loss ...... Next step is to wipe the iPad and start again .... Unless I get any suggestions here.
Thanks

... run two separate virus scans, and used two separate programs to delete uncessary files, and then overwrite them to 0's.
Without knowing which programs you used to do that, I strongly suspect they either caused the problem or exacerbated whatever problem existed prior to using them.
You have two choices: either completely erase your MacBook Pro and reconfigure it from the ground up, or uninstall the programs used to delete required files or their essential components that those programs deemed unnecessary. The effect of using ill-conceived "cleaning" garbage generally requires the former option. I hope you have adequate backups.
