Messages read on iPhone/iPad are not being marked as read on Mac

I've had an iPhone, iPad, and Mac for several years and just recently noticed that my unread messages on my Mac are increasing.  I don't use the Mac much since I use the iPhone or iPad more often.  The number of unread message across my iPhone and iPad are always in sync, but not my Mac.  I have two Gmail accounts - Main and Spam.  The Spam account seems to sync - there are currently 22 unread messages across all devices.  But the Main account doesn't sync from iPhone/iPad to Mac.  I have 64 unread messages on iPhone/iPad but it's 207 on the Mac.  How do I make messages that I've read on my iPhone/iPad show as read on my Mac?  I got the iPhone 5 last year, but I think this is a relatively new development.

Late reply I know, but if you haven't already, try to disable to antivirus or whatever security software that might be filtering email on your Mac and test Mail again. I ended up disabling the "Mail Shield" option on "avast!" (antivirus/anti-SPAM software).

  • Messages not being marked as Read on IMAP account on iMac

    I use the Mail application on my iMac to read my Gmail. I have it set up as IMAP, and it has worked very well for a long time. Recently, however, I noticed that if I read my mail on my iPhone, or my work computer (both of which have the correct IMAP settings), the messages are not being marked as Read (unbolded) on my iMac. I have to quit and restart Mail for the messages to be unbolded.
    Not a big issue, but I wonder why it is happeneing, and how to correct it?

    I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

  • HT203565 contacts on my iPad are not being uploaded to iCloud

    I have synced my iPad with my Yahoo account. It has downloaded all of the contacts located there. However:
    1- The Yahoo sync did NOT include any group information. I.e it downloaded all individual contacts, but none of the groups which existed.
    2- These contacts are visible on my iPad, but they are not being uploaded to iCloud when my iPad syncs with the cloud.
    The original problem is - how do I get the Groups from my  Yahoo account downloaded to the iPad.
    "Obviously" If I could get the Yahoo contacts uploaded to iCloud, I could create the groups there. (Which I can do easily enough), but I cannot get the contacts into t he groups.

    If you're talking about photo stream:
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.  If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos.  For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

  • My contacts from my iphone 4S are not being uploaded and saved to iCloud.

    Why are the contacts that are on my 4S iphone NOT being uploaded and saved to iCloud contacts?  Yes, contacts toggle is turned to "on" on my phone.  Yes, I have updated manually while plugged in and connected to my WiFi as well as left it plugged in and locked to automatically update iCloud.  Still no contacts in my iCloud folder even though I have 379 contacts sitting on my phone.

  • New photos taken with my iPhone 4s are not being uploaded to photo stream...

    Last weekend I tool a few photos with my iPhone and they were uploaded to photo stream as soon as I connected to wifi. I was able to see them on my iPad and MacBook Pro as sooon as I opened iPhoto...
    Today I took a few more but they were not uploaded to photo stream when I connected to wifi... I reset photo stream and now it will not update...
    I havent really changed any settings on my iPhone... What can I do???

    Me too, I'm looking for help for that kind of problem.
    Two months ago, I posted this:
    hello,
    Once Icould control panel is opened on my computer, how can I send the files from my phone ? Because they are not coming by themselves.
    When I click on "Manage", I do see a back up made made in end 2013. How can I access to it from my computer ?
    And another question: In "photo stream options", when they say: "...and upload photos you add to your photo stream from this computer", the upload is only for photos which are inside the Icloud folder "photo stream", right ?
    If there is a photo on desktop or in "my pictures", it won't be uploaded ? Because I share my pc with someone and I don't want other things end up on my Iphone.
    Thank you for you help.

  • Re:Messages not being marked "as read".

    I have all my devices tied into icloud. When I read a message in Mail on any of my devices it used to be marked as read on the others. It has stopped doing this. Any idea how to fix this?

    I'm getting this too. Switching to a different folder and back gets rid of the blue dot. This only happens with my exchange account. All other accounts work normally.

  • Messages not being marked as read?

    In Yosemite mail app, my Exchange account emails, even after opening and closing the message it stays with the unread blue dot.  Takes about 5 minutes to mark as read.  My iCloud mail is almost instant.  This didn't happen in Mavericks. Am I missing a setting so

  • Email not being marked as read

    I've got an ongoing problem where when I read email on one device, it is still marked as unread on my other devices.  To get another device to mark the email as read, I must open the mail app (as the foreground application, not just running in the background), and go to the inbox.  Then, after about 20 seconds of waiting, it will mark the emails that I've previously read on another device as read.
    I have a MacBook Pro, an iPhone, and an iPad, and it is tedious and irritating and confusing to always have these phantom new messages showing on every device, which turn out to be the emails that I've read elsewhere many hours prior.
    I've tried experimenting with different push settings for Mail, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    Is there anything I can do to have my various devices stay in active sync in regards to when emails are marked as read?

    If you haven't already tried, you might try deleting and adding back the account on all effected devices.  To do this on an iOS device, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then back on.  To do this on a Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac then go back and check Mail again.

  • Web pages are not being saved to Reader for offline access

    When I find a web page that I wish to keep for offline access I have tapped the Share button and then Save to reader.
    I have carried this out for approx a dozen pages and when I access the Reader (specs graphic) none of the pages are listed. Is there a setting I have to activate to allow pages to be saved? I thought from the User guide this should happen automatically

    We, too, are having this problem.  I see two posts in 2008-07 reporting this, but no answers and nothing via Google.
    Details:
    1. The web server is a Red Hat Linux / Apache.
    2. It seems site-wide:  several department webmasters have reported the problem.  It may be limited to webs that are using Contribute and check-in/check-out.
    3. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that our NTP daemon is broken, and the time of day drifted ~6 minutes (I have since reset the clock by hand).

  • Photos are not being printed as expected (from Mac OS)

    I have a Canon PIXMA MX410, running Mac OS 10.6.
    So far, regular printing has been fine, but I recently started printing photos onto 4x6 photo paper, and I'm having trouble.  The two programs I'm using are Gimp (GNU image software) and Preview.  Gimp is cropping the photo.  As in, the outer ~5% of the photo is missing from the page after printing.  This ninja-cropping is not seen in the print preview.  I tried instead using Preview to print, and it prints the entire photo, but the colors are off.  This is true whether or not I use ColorSync, or the Canon color profile.
    Now, the reason I'm asking here, is because I borrowed a friends printer (an Epson XP-400) and it prints perfectly from both Gimp and from Preview.  So I can only conclude that the issue is either the Canon printer, OR the print driver.
    I am happy priting from either of these programs, but I need to solve one of these problems.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hello dbe.
    Please check to see if a borderless paper size has been selected before printing.
    If borderless printing is enabled, you may experience a cut off on the outside areas of the image.  This is the only way that an edge to edge bleed can be done. 
    To retain the entire image, the bordered option would have to be used for printing.

  • All emails into my inbox are being marked as read whether they are or not.

    All emails coming into my email inbox are instantly being marked as read. This is happening whether or not they have been opened in the reading pane, and is also happening on a colleagues computer as well.
    Any suggestions as to why this may be happening?
    It seems to have only started opening in the last week or two and I have not changed any settings in the mean time.

    Sounds like you both have the same messed up add on. Try restarting Thunderbird with the add ons disabled and see if things go back to normal.
    You can do this from the Help Menu.

  • Read and deleted messages are not being updated on my iphone 4s

    I have a new user who is having a synchronization issue with his iPhone.  When he reads emails on his desktop, the messages on his iPhone 4s show as being unread.  Also, when he delets messages on his desktop email, messages are not being deleted on his iPhone.  I have never seen this issue before and do not know what to do.  Please help.  Thank you!

    The end user just started with the company a week ago and he is using Outlook 2010.  We never had this issue in the past.  Active sync has been enabled on user’s account and he was able to configure the firm's Exchange email profile on his iPhone.  Although he is able to receive messages on his mobile device, it does not sync with his desktop email.  I asked him to delete the profile on the device and create it again, but he wants to do that as a last option.
