Mail rules not copied to new MacPro via iCloud

Hi All,
I have a new MacPro that is replacing an older MacPro that was running Mavericks 10.9.5.  I also have a Macbook Air running Mavericks 10.9.5.
For a host of reasons, I decided not to simply use Migration Assistant on this new MacPro, but to copy individual plist files for apps such as Mail.  The two plists that I was interested in recreating on this new setup were the MessageRules plist and the SmartFolders plist.  Interestingly these two kinds of preferences seem to be shared across MacOS devices via iCloud.
However, in both instances (iCloud syncing or manually copying over the old plist file), I cannot get my install of Apple Mail to read the plists.  Nor are the shared preferences shared with this computer.  Apple tech support was not much help saying their hands are tied because of Apple Engineering.  Never heard that one before.
Thanks in advance to whomever can spare me from having to manually recreate a hundred or so rules and 20 or so smart mailboxes.

The messages coming to mail app. on my iMac & macbook pro were not showing up on my 5 devices if the sender had a "move to" a folder command on the 'rules' in Mail 'Preferences'.
After trying every suggestion I could find on this forum in addition to some of my own, I realized the only thing that worked was my changing the "move to" command  to "copy to" command. This work around resulted in duplicating all the emails, one in the "inbox" and the "copied" one to it's proper folder ! When I proceeded to delete the emails from the "inbox" as I had set up the "copy to" rule and they were all in their proper folders. I came across another change to the mail system after iOS 8.1 ; if one deletes the emails in the "inbox" on the mac they get deleted across the board from all your devices and vice versa !! I was on telephone with Apple "Senior" techs for 2 frustrating days and eventually they said there is nothing they can do, it had been changed by the "Engineers", something to do with changing "pop" to "imap" protocol. Now I have to put up with all my email being in the inbox  with no option to organize them or delete them if I want them to appear on my devices. This is outrageous !!

    Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges that are obviously using that laptop have popped up on my new laptop, does that mean all my pictures in the last 3 months have been loa
    ding onto that old work laptop as well as my new one??!!! if so how do i delete my pictures from the past 3 months off that old work macbook? HELP!!

    If they are photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll, then delete them from photo stream.  That will delete them from photo stream in iCloud and on any other devices/computers.  Of couse it won't delete them if they have already been moved out of the photo stream album download folder on the work computer.
    Then change your iCloud password so the old work computer no longer has access to your iCloud data or photo stream.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • After Mavericks upgrade Mail 7 not automatically fetching new emails

    Hello,
    Since the Mavericks upgrade, Mail is not anymore automatically fetching new emails, but at the initial lauch.
    I tried to modifity the settings, from 'Automatic', to 5 minute, to 15 minutes, stopping Mail and starting again each time but it does not help.
    Emails are fetched only after the lauch of Mail, and when I manually ask Mail to do it.
    It's really annoying.
    I saw on French forums, that I'm not the only user reporting this, but I don't see many posts on the Apple forum with the exact same issue.
    I don't know what to do to fix/find a workround for this problem.
    If someone has any idea, I'm more than open to try it.

    Try this workaround until Apple fixes it.
    Copy this into a plain text file (i.e TextExit in plain text mode)
    Save as com.yourname.Checkmail.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    Log out and back in, or re-boot
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

  • Mail Rules not applying to Sent folder

    I have rules set up to color code my e-mails. They work fine in all my mailboxes (Inbox, Trash, personal folders), but do not work properly when applied to my 'Sent' folder (the messages all turn orange). What's the problem?
    I have Gmail being forwarded to the Apple Mail program using IMAP settings.

    there is no problem. Mail rules work on incoming mail only. if you want Mail rules to apply to sent messages you need a 3rd party plugin. MailActOn
    http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html
    can do it.

  • Copy paste clipboard Microsoft 2007 - It retains images I copy before and will not copy a new image

    I have Windows XP and Microsoft office 2007.  I had to choose 2010 forum because there was no 2007...sorry 
    I am trying to copy images from the Internet and I am able to copy the image but it will paste the first image I copy. It is not happening with the text though, only images. I highlight and copy a different image and it will paste again the first opne I
    copied. I have also done it through keyboard shortcuts and it will not do what it needs to do.
    I have copy pasted same images in the body of my aol emails and they copy ok. They also copy ok on the clipboard shortcut I made for clipboard , but it refuses to copy them on a new file in Microsoft word document. This started happening about a week ago.
    I have not installed a new program so I don't know the reason.
    I have defragmented, scan disk. I did scan disk simple and the one that recovers bad sectors. Rebooted computer, cleaned history, cleaned temp files. I am not very computer inclined, but I do know how to do these last I listed and I also have run Norton
    If anyone replies to this message keep in mind I can follow instructions, but if they are too intricate I might mess up :(  I wanted to know if there is a way of resetting Microsoft (I dont have the CD anymore) without uninstalling it. Any help yoou
    can throw my way will be appreciated. If there is anything else you need to know please let me know. I will be checking often.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    It's ok you don't have the CD, just go to the Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools, and then click on
    Microsoft Office Diagnostics. Run Diagnostics to proceed with diagnosis and repair.
    Check if it helps after running the Diagnostics.

  • Mail rule not forwarding attachments

    Using Mail rules to forward email to another account, the attachments are not forwarded with the original email message.  With a manual forwarding action, the original message is forwarded with the attachments.  Thoughts?

    I have the same problem in MacOS 10.7.5, and it is a heavy problem, cause in fact Apple prevents us from professional work.May be we should chenge to Microsoft Exchange. I didn't have this problem in former versions, the forwarding WITH attachements worked fine.
    The solution with the redirecting is only a emergency workaround, because it doesn't permit a professional handling of messages.
    This Bug is strange, because forwarding the same message manually (choosing "forward" from the menu), the problem doesn't exist!!!!
    As an "Only Mac User" since 1988 I'm very disappointed about the fact, that Apple doesn't take serious the problems of their users caused by BUGS.

  • Serial numbers are not copied to new storage location for 311 mvt type

    Hi Guys
    I have 10 stock of material A in 001 Storage location ,which all the quantity is serial number managed
    I have transfered 10 quantity of Material A to 002 location from 001 location using 311 MIGO
    But serial numbers are not copied to 002 location after transfer posting
    001 and 002 are both are WM linked and belongs to same plant
    Can any body suggest good solution,how it can be done

    Hi
    1.Check in material master whether serial number management is active in Plant data/stor Tab and serial number profile is assigned
    2. Check while doing MIGO once if u enter the material and transfer qty you are getting the serial number tab or not
    3. If everything is ok, then after posting the document check the serial number status in IQ09, check the stock type and the storgae location in the serdata tab

  • Mail does not recognize my new changed password

    so i had my ipad stolen today and I changed my passwords to both of my email addresses. For some reason mail does not want to sync with my gmail. It says that I have wrong username or password. My iphone doesnt accept it either... But i am able to log in in my browser. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Should be 2 for each account, in & out, but possible to have duplicates of those.

  • In Lion, can Notes and StickyNotes be shared via iCloud?

    Looks like there will be an app "notes" in Mountain Lion that can be shared across all my computers; is there a way to use Notes (iOS5) and StickNotes (Lion) with iCloud to do that now?

    Nobody can predict what OSX next can or can't : It is a Beta and thus everything can change .
    Concerning Lion and iOS5 :
    the notes faciltiy in iOS5 devices is synced via iCloud, yes : your notes will be received in your icloud email account on the Mac. Just make sure you enable mail and notes  in icloud panel on both ios and lion.
    "Sticky Notes" : No Syncing available ( and I doubt Apple cares much for that : the app is a relict from OS classic ) .

  • Can I get the stuff from an old iPhone in my new one via iCloud?

    My iPhone started doing something very strange yesterday, so I'm going back to the store today, and I backed up via iCloud, but is it possible to put everything on the new iPhone I will probably get?

    How content is restored to a new device
    When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.* You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device.
    A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.
    If you are using iTunes Match (U.S. only), you can download any of your songs, albums, or playlist from iCloud after the restore is complete.
    To check if the restore is complete, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • TS3999 Calendar on Mac Powerbook Pro with Mavericks not pushing events to iPhone via iCloud.  I've followed all the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works.

    I input my events on the Calendar on my Mac after I upgraded to Mavericks.  Created the iCloud account, followed all the troubleshooting instructions (turning off and on, checking accounts, etc.), but the calendar does not sync/push events to my iPhone 5.  The only events that show up are birthdays from Facebook (go figure!).  At my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong because I really need to view my calendar on the phone for work.!  Help?

    If you calendar is now syncing new events to iCloud, let's rebuild your iCloud calendar.  Do the following:
    Select each of your calendars on the left sidebar on your Mac and back them up as you did before, by going to File>Export>Export and saving the .ics files to your desktop.
    Delete each of your calendars on your Mac by control-clicking on them and selecting Delete.  Go to icloud.com and confirm that your calendars are no longer there.
    Add a calendar back to your Mac by opening the calendar application and going to File>New Calendar>iCloud and giving it the name of one of your calendars.  Repeat for each of the calendars you deleted.  When you are done, you should have empty calendars for each of the calendars you delete earlier.  Go to icloud.com to confirm these empty calendars appear there too.
    In the calendar application on your Mac go to File>Import>Import and navigate to one of the .ics files you saved earlier.  When asked where to import it, click the drop-down list and select the empty iCloud version of the calendar you are importing, then Import.  Wait until the spinning progress wheel stops at the top of the left sidebar.  Repeat this for each of your other calendars.
    Check the calendars on your Mac and on icloud.com to confirm that all your calendar events appear now.  They should also now appear on your phone.  Then add another test event to the calendar on your Mac and confirm that it appears on icloud.com and your iPhone now.  If so, everything is now working properly.

  • Time machine not copying to new drive

    running 10.6.8. I have two new hard drives and have them connected one at a time via USB cable to my MBP intel core i5.
    I am using time machine to Backup my system drive.  Time machine stopped the back up and displays an error.  Here is the eventual error "The backup was not performed because an erorr occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The probem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I used disk utility repair drive and the drive passes.  I am not able to continue forward with time machine and receive the same error again.
    Both drives experience this same behavior.  Are both drives just bad and need to be replaced?  Open to any suggestions on how to cure this issu.
    Here is the log from disk utility:

    Did you verify your MBP's HD, or the external HD's?
    IMHO, Time Machine is great when it works, but it's not the most reliable backup. You may want to consider CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper instead.
