Notes Application on Mountain Lion Won't Sync with Gmail

Within the past few weeks the new Notes application won't sync with my gmail account. I used to be able to type a note in Notes, and it would appear under the label "notes" as an email type memo in Gmail. All of the sudden this stopped working. Same with the Mail app, I can't sync IMAP with my Gmail accounts. This just started happening a few weeks ago.
Mountain Lion 10.8

Try the Mountain Lion Forums.

Mail won't sync with gmail

Mail app won't sync with my gmail account. I've tried deleting my gmail account and setting it up again, but am getting an error message that my user name or password is incorrect. My iPhone Mail app isn't syncing with gmail either - same error message. I can get into gmail through Safari. I sure would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

that's a different issue. you said before that it didn't like the password. what it actually doesn't like is the number of simultaneous connections. quit Mail on all other computers/phones you use to access gmail and try setting it up in Mail on this computer again.

Mountain Lion won't start with 32-bit kernal

I'm trying to update my Sony NEX-5 to version 5, and every time I click the installer, it says that it runs on a 32-bit kernal.
I tried starting up in 32 bit by holding the 3 and 2 keys, but this doesn't seem to do anything. I remember when I was on Snow Leopard, I could update my NEX-5 without any 32-bit startup necessary. Looking at some forums, even when people were on Snow Leopard they needed to startup in 32-bit...but I didn't.
Why doesn't it start up in 32-bit mode?
Why doesn't the application work on 64-bit? (Chrome is 32-bit...that still works on 64-bit)
Why has Sony even done this to us?
Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on the 2012 21.5" iMac.

Yes, the 64-bit kernel is not supported for downloading the firmware update. You may use your neighbors or friends computer to download the firmware. You can also send the Camera to our service center for getting the firmware installed:
Haha! Very funny Sony!
Well, I have a Canon 650D now anyway, and the update isn't a big deal. Just would be nice to update it.

2012 Mac Pro / Mountain Lion won't boot with ATI 5770

2012 12 Core mac pro. I've got 2 GPUs installed:
- Quadro 4000 for mac
- ATI 5770
The Quadro is so loud and annoying that I'd like to unplug it for general use. Then plug it in for DaVinci or Premiere use.
Problem is when I unplug (power) from the Quadro and reboot, system gives me the Apple logo and then automatically restarts. Over and over. This is with Mountain Lion.
I tried booting to a drive with 10.6 and it booted up fine.
I keep searching for driver updates or something but everywhere says it's included in OSX?
Is this problem happening because there are 2 GPUs installed? Even though one is unplugged? Like PCI lane conflict or something?
Alex

I think you will need to remove it entirely, or plug the power back in. It does not seem to allow your Mac to work with a Bus connection, but no aux power.

Ical won't sync with gmail account

I'm trying to set up my wife's iCal to sync with her gmail calender. We both just got brand new macbook pros and mine had no problems sync my mail, calendar, chat and address book.
Yet when she tries to sync her computer with her gmail account it will only work with mail and address book and chat. When it tries to sync her calendar with iCal it says that "A secure connection couldn't be established" and won't sync her calendar at all.
Anyone have a solution?

This has been an issue for people since 2010. Why is it still here?

Notes stuck inside iPad - should sync with Gmail

I have been blithely taking notes on my iPad thinking they were syncing with Gmail, however, although the notes sync in the gmail account had been enabled, nothing has syncronized since March. Fortunately, I at least have a back up of the notes within the backup of the entire system.
So, I just noticed I have a problem because I just bought a macbook and iphone and want to syncronize across all three platforms. I should note that adding notes in icloud does syncronize. However, unlucky me, I had my notes in Gmail because the iOs configuration template led me to believe this was a viable option, and by the way, I seem to believe I have been doing this longer than iCloud existed.
So, here are my problems with notes:
1. This one is a nuisance but not a real problem: When I turn off the notes feature in the gmail account settings in the accounts template (the one that has the gmail logo on it) - all my notes disappear on the ipad. I was told that this is because the ipad believe this is syncronizing. HOWEVER, it is not, so Apple should have a warning prompt just like they do in their own icloud settings, presumably for their own icloud they believe it is synchronizing - so why a warning for one but not the other. If I knew they would be removed from the device when I turned the notes off, I wouldnt have done this.
NB: I had the same gmail account which was intended but failing to synch with notes correctly configured and doing all the good things it should when configured through the exchange template in Mail Accounts.
2. The real problem: After 5 hours with tech support and on hold -- I know, surreal -- the senior advisor told me to email the notes to myself, and that there was nothing else to do. I'm posting in the hope that there is something else to do, i would like to think I can migrate the notes ostensibly from gmail, but really only on my ipad to icloud or something. I have enough notes that this is reasonably annoying to accomplish one by one.

I fell your pain and no thereis no good solution to this nasty issue. However you can view your Outlooknotes on your iOS devices but I had to do a sync via PC iTunes and sync cable to each device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) not a very good solution (no support for OTA iCloud sync, LAME!). Then when the Outlook notes arrive on my iOS device in the Notes app its under a separatefolder "From My PC". All notes generated on your iOS devices are in the folder [email protected] or iCloud folder. Further more if you go to your iCloud webpage you will only see the notes you generated from your iOS devices (if youhave Notes sync turned on) and you can't edit them nor can you create new notes from the iCloud webpage interface! Extremely sad and downright terrible migration from Mobile Me. These are simple text notes this should not be so difficult but Apple chose to treat them the same as email messages basically and made a flashy "Notes App" just like the new iOS 5 "RemindersApp" same thing.
If you’re like me and your looking to go away from your Outlook Notes and just want to put all notes into the Apple Notes then you need to use one of your iOS devices and manually cut and past the notes one at a time from your "From My PC" folder then create a new one on in your iCloud folder. This is also so darn ********! You should be able to select all do a copy then go to the iCloud folder and past,done (but you can't)! With hundreds of Notes collected over the years you’re not likely going to manually open each one select all, copy close and create a new note in the iCloud folder.... and by the way I'm not looking to load Evernot at this time so stop suggesting exporting my Outlook notes to Evertnote, this is not a solution to this issue.
Apple are you listening!?

Can't download Mountain Lion / iPhone 5 won't sync with iCal & Contacts on iMac

Have a 2007 iMac. Running Snow Leopard. Contacts and iCal aren't syncing to iPhone 5. Did a little research and decided maybe it was because I'm not upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to download Mountain Lion and it says it cannot because it requires 2GB of memory. Help. What do I do now?

A 2007 iMac, according to http://www.everymac.com can go up to 6 GB ram. you have to check and see if yours is on the compatible list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if it is not, you can still go to Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchaing a download code to use to download 10.7.5 from the Mac App Store. Lion is compatible with iCloud, also.
You still need at least 2 GB ram, 4 GB is much better. Go to OWC, or Crucial to see about more ram.

Mountain Lion won't allow me to save photos from Mail directly to iPhoto (as you could in all other recent OSX). Tried opening iPhoto and then click/drag each photo onto iPhoto icon on dock (as Help instructed) but the photo will not drag. Suggestions?

I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening.
Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

Ipad SONOS app not connecting since Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to mountain lion, my sonos system only works from the SONOS application on the mac mini connected to the router to which a SONOS Bridge is hooked, via LAN. All my other SONOS apps (either ipad or macbook air) cannot connect to the SONOS bridge, even after resetting them.
I also had an issue with screensharing between the mac mini and the macbook air (both on Mountain Lion), since upgrading, which was resolved thanks to this forum... and was hoping resolving this would have resolved the SONOS issue as well... not the case.
So anyone with an idea what to do would be welcome! Happy to provide any other information that would be needed to help me out!
Sebastien
P.S. I assume the SONOS system is not the issue, all SONOS apps and firmware are updated to the latest versions, and as mentioned above, I can control the SONOS equipment via the mac mini app... but just that one.

Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.

IMessage Not Working Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

Since I "upgraded" my iMac and MacBook Air to Mountain Lion, iMessage delivery is hit and miss to the say the least from my iPhone 4S. I first realised there was an issue receiving text messages whilst in the States and not connected to WiFi. Messages weren't even being received as text messages, even but would all come through as a flood from my girlfriend when I connected to WiFi.
At the weekend she dropped her iPhone 4 and the screen is duff so she's swapped her SIM into a spare BlackBerry until it's repaired. Gues what? She can text me but my 4S is still trying to reply by iMessage and none of them are being resent/sent as text messages.
It's useless having a mobile phone that will effectively only communicate by voice and e-mail and no basic texting. It wouldn't be so bad if it actualy said the messages were failing.

Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar. I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do. (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.) Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail. I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away. After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app! Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android. I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution? It's so annoying!!
(I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone. Hmmmm.)

Good day all,
I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
/Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
Export stickies created by Stickies.app
Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually... I have decided to use NV from now on.
The instructions above is from the following page:

Pages not working since Mountain Lion Installation

I just opened a document I created in 2010, and got an error message when trying to save changes: "Can't save, print, or export documents until the iWork 30-day trial has been activated." I have been using iWork 09 for quite a long time (I have version 4.2)...I installed Mountain Lion about 4 days ago and this is the first day I've been in Pages since. I don't know why I'm getting this error when '09 is installed on my computer and I've been using a paid version of iWork since for years. I have not discovred instances where other people have had this issue after installing Mountain Lion, but wanted to ask here. Thank you.

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

Hi all
I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
I would like to see answers like:
"In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
Regards

Thanks for your reply Eric
Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable?
Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do?
If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business.
I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
Regards
