Solution to incoming mail not showing up in Mac Mail

I had a strange thing happen two days ago and did exhaustive research trying to resolve the issue. I couldn't find the answer anywhere to my issue. I did figure out what was going on, so I thought I'd post the solution here.
I'm running OS X v10.8.5 and Mac Mail v6.6. Two days ago I stopped being able to get any new emails. All my settings were correct and had not changed. I could see my new emails in my webmail, but it was not downloading to Mac Mail. I could see the count of new emails in Mail Activity and could see all the email on my POP server in Account Info. But nothing was downloading. The solution ended up being on my mail host's end. I had them reset my mail account and voila! It took less than 3 minutes. An easy solution to a very disturbing and troubling problem. I hope this helps someone else out there.

Thanks for the tip!

...i have tried "verify" & "repair" but they didn't pass the san test. and when i "unmounted/mount" a error message popped up say that there is a application running off the drive but there nothing (i see) running, to close all activity

PS CC 2014 not showing up in Mac Finder after update

Just did the update/install of PS CC 2014, and while I can see the application in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not show up in Mac Finder when I go to my applications folder. Actually this is the case for several CC 2014 apps after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and InDesign CC 2014 show up in my applications folder, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Anybody else experience this and/or have a resolution? I did a restart after the cc 2014 app updates to see if that would fix anything, but it didn't.
It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins and to just launch the app.

Craig, thanks for the reply, but it's not a matter of updating the dock icons after the update. I realize I need to drag the new CC 2014 apps to the dock if I want to access them there. It's more of an issue where all the CC 2014 app updates except Muse and InDesign weren't showing up in my HD > Applications folder where every other app on my machine resides. Instead, most of the CC 2014 updates got installed to my User > Applications folder for some bizarre reason. Those updates are the ONLY apps in that folder.
Anyone know why they would get installed there instead of the normal HD > Applications folder?

Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can. The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
Thanks

ICloud email messages not showing up in Mac mail

I just noticed that my Mail client on mac osx lion isn't receiving emails on my @me.com account from the iCloud.
The emails are showing up fine on my iphone, but they are not appearing in Mail on my Mac.
This seems to be a new issue as I didn't notice it yesterday after moving on Wed to iCloud.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem today and have a solution.
I deleted the iCloud account from Mail, quit Mail, reopened Mail and then set up the account again. (I noticed that it did update the grayed out [uneditable] incoming mail server.) The messages that had been available on iOS 5 appeared in Mail and all is working fine now. It took about a minute to fix and I hope this works for you.

Hotmail messages not showing up in Mac Mail

I have setup Hotmail as an IMAP account - it took several days for all the messages in my very large mailbox to come across. Now that they seem to be there, Mac Mail will not display them -- I click on the inbox and nothing shows up. I also have a Gmail account setup and those messages display properly. If I do a find for a message I know has arrived in hotmail, it shows the results of the find. Anyone have suggestions on how I can get my messages to display properly?
Thank you

When i check yahoo mail on iPad i have numerous empty messages with a 12/31/69 sent date that contain nothing. they do not show on my mac though...what is going on? i cannot delete them either....

When i check yahoo email on my ipad2 there are numerous messages dated incoming on 12/31/69 that are empty. They do not show up on my mac. Also, if i try to edit emails on my ipad2 it will not allow me to delete them. what is going on?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Incoming Email not showing up in business context

Hi,
We route incoming emails through ERMS to a service org. Then through the inbox, we select email and click on 'interact' button to create a service ticket manually. We notice that email does not show in the business context during the interaction but shows up after we click the end button and come back and look at the service ticket again..This works for us in older CRM 5.0 release but is not working in CRM 7.0. Any pointers on the issue? How can we make the email to show up in the business context during the current interaction. Please note that we do not create a separate interaction record for each interaction. Service ticket is our interaction record for interact purposes..
Thanks
Dan

Hello Dan,
Can you please check SAP note 1336278 : ERMS not creating doc flow between IR and ST - Part II, this might help!
Please award points if this pointer helps!

Incoming texts not showing on Bluetooth system

My i-phone 5s incoming messages are only randomly appearing via Bluetooth. Occasionally I receive one which displays in unread messages. When I move from unread to read it remains. Thereafter the text message disappears when I negotiate between unread/read. " No message using this filter " No historical record of any texts remain in the system Is there some incompatibility between Bluetooth and i-phone 5s set-up? My vehicle is a BMW F10. Thanks for help.

I have now run the latest Bluetooth updates on the info system today. Still the same problems- texts either not appearing or disappearing after being opened up in unread messages but not showing in all texts. Also no sound notification for incoming messages.

Messages sent on device do not show up on Mac in ICloud Sent folder - Why?

When I send a message on my IPad, it shows up on the Cloud, but does not appear in my Sent folder in Mail on my Mac ICloud mail account

Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
Done!

Why are my deleted imovie events not showing up in mac trash?

I dleted an event in imovie on my macbook pro, it dissappeared, but I can't for the life of me find it in my mac trash.

No solution to offer, but I can say that you are not alone. I am having the same exact problem.
I installed "Photos" around April 8. "My Photo Stream" shows up in the sidebar containing pictures up through April 6 - nothing later. Photos taken with my iPhone since then do not show up.
My iPhone and iPad both have Photostream on and working. Photos taken with either show up almost immediately on both devices. It is only "Photos" on the desktop machine which is broken. Like you, I have tried turning Photostream on/off, restarted both desktop machine and phone. Nothing. "Photos" photo stream is stuck in time at April 6.

My Facebook contacts not showing up in Mac Contacts.app!

After the introduction of syncing your Facebook contacts with iOS, my contacts aren't syncing through iCloud completely.
Contacts that are added through Facebook show up in my iPhone Contacts but are not showing in the Contacts.app on my Mac (Mntn Lion).
When I manually add a field to a Facebook contact on my iPhone it does finally sync to my Mac. But then I would have to find all my missing Facebook contacts so this is not a solution.
The solutions offered on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 have not solved anything.
Anyone else with this issue, solution? Thanks.

That's because they are not on iCloud, they are on Facebook which is a seperate account.
Add the Facebook account to your Mac.

Events entered on iphone not showing up on mac ical

Events entered on my iphone do not show up on my Mac ical.

rastro2,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off "Calendars," when prompted delete data, and wait two minutes, then turn "Calendars" back on. When asked merge the data, make that choice, and wait patiently. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.
Hopefully that will correct the problem.

Had a pc now have a mac and my downloaded cds do not show up on mac. help

I had a pc and now have a mac computer. Itunes does not show any downloaded cds in the library. Idon't know what to do.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to add them to iTunes. To do it, if you have your songs in an external drive or in the internal disk, open iTunes, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Add to Library, and search the songs. Another way is to drag the songs to your iTunes window

Ipod touch 1st generation not showing up on mac mini G4 1,42

Our children use a mac mini 1,42 (MacOs 10.4, latest revision) and our daughter syncs her iPod nano 6 with her itunes library (iTunes 9.x). I created a separate account for our son and tried to connect my old 1st gen touch to the mini for him. unfortunately the touch does not connect on the mac mini's USB port (no charging, nothing in System Profiler, evidently no syncing). The nano does. Both ipods connect to my Macbook Black (2007 2,16 GHz Intel, MacOs 10.6.7, iTunes 10), as do our iPhones …
… any ideas, not enough current on the minime?
Best
Michael

I am amazed, that after reinstalling iTunes 9.2.1 on MacOS 10.4 after removing the kernel extension and the package receipt everything works as expected.
before reinstalling, the iPod touch neither did load, nor showed up in System Profiler.
So – problem solved, back to normal …
many thanks
Michael
