Mavericks Mail not sync'ing IMAP act. (Not GMail)

I have been waiting silently to see if a fix would come on its own, but none yet. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail.app does NOT sync my IMAP accounts correctly. I have gone so far as to remove and re-add the accounts numerous times... no change. The recent "update" that was supposed to address Gmail issues had no affect on my sync'ing issues either. As others have posted, I basically have to quit and re-launch mail for it to correctly show what is on the mail server. All of my iDevices are working just fine - I can read or move an email, and all my iDevices show it correctly... but when I return to my Mac - some show as unread - some messages that I moved or deleted are still THERE (unread), etc.
Once I quit and relaunch, the inbox displays correctly - but there is no way (that I can find) to force the inbox to "refresh" correctly while the app is open. "Getting new" messages does nothing to help. Has anyone found a solution or work-around...? or is this just a "sit back and wait for Apple to fix" kind of problem...?
Thanks,
SF

I have the same problem. The recent Mavericks update fixed the original Gmail problem (of not being able to get rid of mail from the in box), but this problem is there and very frustrating. Exactly the same as the original post - Mail on my Mac does not reflect the emails filed, moved, deleted etc from my iPad or iPhone. Gmail, iPad and iPhone are all in perfect sync, but the Mac is not.
The only way to force the Mac into line is to QUIT Mail and relaunch.
(By the way, I don't have any anti-virus on my machine, so it's nothing to do with that - its a Mavericks issue).
I have been looking at alternative mail clients as I have now lost all faith in Apple Mail. (I am committed to IMAP and Gmail, on 3 different email accounts).
Yersterday I tried Outlook (as I happen to have a copy with Office-2011 for Mac). I liked it apart from the fact that it won't work with iCloud contacts... so its no good for me.
I'm looking at Mailplane now.... doesn't seem to be available via App store, but I'm going to try a free 15 day trial I found online. I'd say that's how long Apple has to fix this problem as far as I'm concerned.

New Photos not sync'ing to iTunes

I think this happened before... I noticed that the Photos on Mac is changed. Though I don't really like the interface, I am trying to get used to it... however, once again, the photos are not sync'ing properly to iTunes... I need help... For example: there are more number of photos on my laptop after importing from my phone... Then I grouped them into different Events. However, I am not seeing these being sync back into my phone via the iTunes.
I happened before, and for some reasons, it get fixed by itself. DO you acknowledge these is a problem?

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

Touchsmart IQ810 Calendar not sync'ing with Vista Calendar

Noticed that my Touchsmart calendar is not sync'ing with the Vista calendar events. Read the calendar threads here but they are all referring to the 500 series from what I can see.
Far as I am aware my Touchsmart software is uptodate. Rather the HP Advisor and it is not downloading anything new.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

i wouldn't rely on the hp advisor alone, why not download the calender update yourself and install it on your pc.
you can download it from this link, I'm assuming you have the iq810uk

Contact changes not sync'ing

contact changes made to laptop not sync'ing and showing up on IPhone

I have a iphone 4 with 2400 contacts on iCloud, I really like the contact management and use with great satisfaction.
I use a computer at work windows 7 and outlook 2010, I installed the panel icloud to sync contacts with iCloud.
Here's the problem:
When I insert / edit / delete a contact on iphone / icloud, the change is propagated in Outlook.
if i insert / edit / delete a contact in Outlook, the change is propagated NOT on iphone / icloud.
I have made several attempts and tests.
disconnected from the icloud control panel, logout / login, checks on plugin outlook add-ons, no positive results!
is a known problem?
is a known bug in the system?
Any idea?
thanks
Francesco

I have problems with certain applicaitons not sync'ing (like email, cal, notes)...need help

There are a few twists here. This is my opinion of a quick and easy way to do what you want to do.
Get a 2.5" sata enclosure like this one - this is just a sample:
http://www.amazon.ca/eForCity-2-5-inch-SATA-Enclosure-Blue/dp/B0083OOV9G/ref=sr_ 1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360012807&sr=8-1
Put the new ssd in the enclosure, connect it to the Mac using the included USB cable. It is now an external drive.
Format the drive using Disk Utility.
Download and run Carbon Copy cloner, and clone your drive to the new external.
Shutdown. Open the MBP and remove the SSD drive from the enclosure and put it in the place of the old drive.
Boot the MBP. Once you know the new drive is up and running, you can get to the process of installing the old one in the optical bay.

Ipod nano 6g will not sync OR charge! (not happy)

i bought a ipod nano 6g but 3-4 hours ago and its not syncing. It is not recognized by my comp nor itunes. Not only that it it isnt charging either. I had downloaded the latest version of itunes. I did the diagnostics test and every test passed except for 2 in which both had said "no ipod, iphone, or ipad found". If it helps i also saw something that said no apple mobile device driver found as well, but i dont know or think it has anything to do with the fact that that device is also not charging. I have gone through several self tech support links from apple's support site and itunes links. i may just take it back tommorow. Please assist me and if ur having this same problem. please bump my topic so it gets more attention.

I have the Same problem we always have this with tech in our house! I came to find this problem after using a faulty socket box, I hadn't noticed that while my iPod was charging in my Belkin USB Adaptor that the Red Light on the Adaptor was flashing (Power On and Off) consistently because of the power not getting through to my adaptor, so while reading my tech magazine there was a rather loud 'BANG' so as you do you go and have a look so I pushed my charger in to the socket harder and the light did not come up on my iPod or my Adaptor meaning that something was wrong with the adaptor... So I checked my iPod and it would not switch on or do anything for that matter!
Please help me on this one guys, i'm not usually the one struggling with tech!

Try

I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized. I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file. It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?

There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.
Nobody here knows what Apple is going to do.
You might try removing the Gmail account and then add it back in.

Mail messages after a certain date are not syncing in IMAP

I use IMAP with Intermedia hosted Exchange (set to allow IMAP with Apple Mail). Everything has worked fine with Mail.app for years. All of a sudden, in the last week, mail in archive folders is not syncing. I receive Inbox mail and see Sent mail, but folders where I store archived messages (Friends, Travel, etc.) do not show any messages after July 10. When I go to the webmail server, I see the messages in the folders where I moved them.
I have divided large folders into smaller ones, and done a completely clean download of all mail, and the problem persists. My iPod Touch was also having trouble seeing new messages.
This is a longshot, but the one change on July 10 was that I started using Mail from a different location. Could it have something to do with the Airport base station here or even the cable Internet provider?

Update: it does not have to do with the Internet provider or local equipment. I tried downloading messages from a different network and the problem persisted.

Notes sync over IMAP

I'm trying to get my notes synced to my one and only IMAP email provider. I think all of my settings are correct, but something isn't working.
- I have notes turned ON for the IMAP account. (Mail, Contacts, Calendars)
- I have the IMAP account as the default for notes. (Mail, Contacts, Calendars)
- I have a folder named "Notes" on my IMAP account.
Any suggestions?

So what exactly isn't working?
Did you create the folder yourself? You shouldn't have to do that. If you did, I suggest turning off notes, deleting the folder and turning notes back on again.

What's Up With Notes Sync'ing?

Hi,
I just upgraded to iPhone 4S and switched from MobileMe to iCloud. I knew I was losing some features, but since the System Preferences…>iCloud pane (in Mac OS X 10.7.3) shows "Mail & Notes" (which I checked), I figured that notes will continue to sync. Except they do not. And, unlike the MobileMe PrefPane, there is no "Sync now" button to force synchronization. So, the notes on my iPhone and on my MBP are now out of sync. Then I thought to check on icloud.com… and find no way to access Notes there.
So, are Notes supposed to be sync'ed or not?? Does anyone else have this problem? (I suspect I can connect the iPhone to iTunes, and force the transfer of info, but that would not merge them and I'm likely going to lose something...)
Thanks, Tristan

PS: I just forced sync'ing notes via iTunes (while the iPhone is connected, selected the iPhone in the iTunes side-bar, then the "Info" tab, checked "Other > "Sync notes", and then clicked "Apply", which re-started the sync'ing process). That prompted a merge-conflict dialogue box to pop up on my Mac, where I could select the note to keep/replace one by one. So, at least, my notes are now sync'ed.
The question remains: does this not happen via iCloud? Or, is there a setting I failed to set/check?

Outlook 2011 inbox not syncing to IMAP account

This issue started about a week ago. If I ignore all the known issues with Outlook 2011 since moving to Mountain Lion, I would say Outlook has been running fine until last week. I have taken a look at Microsofts website but did not find any issue close to mine. I decided to try a mac forum first in case this is a ML issue with Outlook, rather than just an Outlook issue. Because my skeptism of Microsoft, it probably is an issue with Microsoft 2011 and they probably don't want to bother fixing it.
Here's the issue:
My work email is set up in Outlook 2011 version 14.2.5 using IMAP. I go through my day as usual reading emails, responding to them, and filing them away in folders (on the server). I can go through 100 emails in my inbox to only 10 by the end of the day. The rest have been deleted, or filed away. I am able to receive and send emails with no errors. However, once I leave work and view my emails online or on another program (such as MacMail), I see those 100 emails in my inbox with only half of them read and another half unread. I see no pattern to it. (The most recent email in a conversation is read but several earlier ones are not). The strangest part: All those emails I filed away in folders on the server or deleted are in those folders AND in my inbox. Therefore, if I refile the emails, read them or delete them I will have dupllicate emails. Same thing goes if I repair the folder in Outlook. It takes all those emails in my Inbox online and puts them back in my Inbox on the server.
If I make any changes in Mail (On a different computer that is on Snow Leapord) or on the web, I just sync the folder and it shows the changes in Outlook.
Essentially this is the syncing issue:
Other programs --> Server --> Outlook = OK
Server --> Outlook = OK
Outlook -x-> Server = NOT SYNCING
I'd like to reitterate that this started last Tuesday (Nov 20). Our IT can't figure it out.

Hi Meghan,
You are right saying that it is not syncing or does slowely and it is not done by the time you switch off your Outlook.
You can run some manual tests by pressing CTRL + Click on a folder in your Outlook 2011 and Sync this Folder
Then check the webmail.
Also you may want to check this in Outlook 2011:
1) Tools > Run Schedule > Edit Schedules
2) Assuming you already have a scheduled "Send/Receive All" occurring every few minutes - double-click the appropriate Schedule item.
3) In the Edit Schedule window, in the Action area to the right of the Receive Mail action, click the Account Options button.
4) Put a check next to every folder and in the Synchronization Setting column make sure it is set to New Messages. If you choose Headers Only, the folders will not auto-sync.
No idea why it stopped working but usually it coincides with OS updates or MS Office updates on Mac.
Post back if you get anywhere with this.

Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010. I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place. I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load. I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
Help!!
