Synchronisation problems between apple mail client on a MacBook Pro and Gmail

I am having synchronisation problems between apple mail client and gmail on the MacBook Pro, but no similar problems on the ipad and iphone. My mail is not being collected by the aplle mail client on the laptop, and now all my inbox for my gmail account has disappeared, although the Archive and sub folders under "Google" are still showing.
This is an intermittent problem.
I have previousy re-built the mailbox and solved the problem, but there must be something more fundamental going on, as the problem has occurred again.
Anyone have any tips?

Sorry, but no. POP3 versus IMAP has nothing to do with keeping spam off your computer. Your ISP should be doing its filtering before the mail reached the mail server in either case, and your Mac would be doing its filtering after downloading the mail from the mail server in either case. (Your iPad does no filtering at all.)

  • Does anyone know the difference between the Applecare Warranty for the Macbook Pro and the Applecare Protection Plan Auto Enroll 607-8192-B APP FOR MacBook

    Does anyone know the difference between the Applecare Warranty for the Macbook Pro and the Applecare Protection Plan Auto Enroll 607-8192-B APP FOR MacBook

    AFAIK, the difference is that the auto-enroll occurs automatically when you purchase the device and you will have to disburse the cost right there and then. Whereas the other comes in a box, can be purchased separately later and you must manually enroll your device into the system to activate the additional protection. This must occur before the base one year warranty is over.
    So, if you don't want to pay up at the moment you buy the computer, you can wait up to say 11 months and buy the AppleCare warranty extension later. Just be sure to complete the enrollment BEFORE the base warranty is over, else Apple will not honor the extension (all in the fine print). This applies to all devices that offer an AppleCare option: notebooks, desktops, iStuff, etc.

  • I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
    I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

    Can anybody tell me what happended and how to fix it?

    Make sure your settings match up with this:

    if wouldn't hurt to delete the account entirely and just re-set it up in preferences.

  • Can't setup POP3 E-mail on mail client on my MacBook Pro

    So this problem is getting really out of hand and I'm not sure what options I have left. So here are the details:
    I'm trying to set up my work e-mail (the site host is Network Solutions) with Mail. There seem to be no problems with the online client. I can sign on without any troubles so password and username are correct. I'm using Mail 4.4. I first enter my name, e-mail, and password with no problems. Then for the incoming mail server I do the same, choosing POP, and I get the following message:
    "The POP server "mail.companysite.com" (with the proper domain inserted) is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages."
    i get this regardless if i put my username as just username or [email protected] and my network connection is fine as my other e-mail accounts (2 gmails set up as IMAP) work just fine. I've tried using different ports other than the default 110. Still the same problem.
    An interesting little quirk is that at one point it actually did work, then suddenly without any changes to anything that I could tell, it stopped. When it was working, I had it set up on my iPod touch and even when it stopped on my computer it kept working on my iPod. But that also didn't last as now I can no longer connect or even set it up.
    But wait! There's more. I've tried all the different debugging methods I can come up with, including trying to set it up on different e-mail clients, Entourage and Thunderbird, with the same result. Then I eventually tried it on another computer, on a PC running Windows XP, and wouldn't you know it, it set up without a hitch! so this means that my account is properly set up for this. Furthermore, I know it is possible to use an e-mail client on a mac with this domain as one of my coworkers has set it up on Entourage and Mail as well as his iPhone. I have no firewall settings currently on so nothing should be blocking and i've tried it using several different internet connections in different countries (seemingly then it's not a router or modem issue)
    Anyone have any ideas? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if there's any more info you would need me to provide.

    Create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up this one account -- as it is POP, set to leave messages on the server after download. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    This will be a useful test, and is not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of the Mail application outside of your normal User Account.
    Also in System Preferences/Networks click on Advanced, then Proxies and make sure no proxy selections have been checked.

  • Wifi but no internet, wrong time, and mail client issues on macbook pro

    A few things have recently come up that are worrying me...
    1.  My wifi says it is connected to my apartments internet, and yet I dont have any internet.  Meanwhile. my roommate is able to get on the internet on his desktop PC.  I am afraid I changed something accidentally in my network settings.  It says something about unable to connect to DNS server?  (I am on campus using their internet to send this)
    2.  My Clock is wrong.  Even when I reset the timezone, it is saying the time is 3:01 am when it is actualy 11:01 am. 
    3.  LAstly, my mail client is no lponger getting my mail.  I am able to get all the messages on my iphone, but for some reason my macbook is not getting them. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  THanks you much!

    Your wifi is connected to the router but the modem may be faulty. Try reporting the modem.

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • Apple TV interference with my macbook pro and my wife's macbook

    I recently bought the new Apple TV. My wife and I have same iTunes account. I have turned on home sharing only in the iTunes in my macbook pro. Still then, the apple tv's remote operation interferes with my wife's macbook and also, searches photos on her iPhoto in her macbook rather than searching on mine. Also, I try to play something on the TV with the apple TV, and simultaneously some other random video opens on my iTunes ! We both run the latest iTunes software. How can I fix this? It is kind of annoying...

    You can do one of two things to stop unwanted interference from an apple remote:
    1) Disable the mac's response to the remote
    2) Pair a mac to a specific remote
    Both are done easily at System Preferences->Security, the settings there are self-explanatory.

  • ICloud, Safari, and Mail on MacBook Pro and iPhone 4

    My MacBook Pro has OSX 10.7.5, iPhone is 4g, and Apple Mail is Ver 5.3.
    Currently, Apple Mail on the MacBook Pro is setup on the iCloud and I have many folders in the Cloud to store email.    The iPhone depicts all mail similarly as the MacBook Pro.  In addition, on Safari, I have a bookmark to iCloud.com.  Have used iCloud.com to send email, edit contacts, and calendar.  Seems to work well.
    Was wondering if one can discontinue using the Apple Mail client on the MacBook Pro and delete all the emails and folders without adversely impacting the mail and folders on iCloud.com?
    I suppose the same question applies to the calendar and contact applications on the MacBook Pro and iPhone.  If so, it appears one can use all three of the applications at iCloud.com without having to use them separately on the MacBook Pro.  Please advise.
    Thanks.

  • File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

    well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
    As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
    Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
    I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
    My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
    My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
    I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
    So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
    Thank you very much for your time.
    EDIT:
    What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.
    Message was edited by: Apolloss

    First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
    There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
    My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
    The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
    Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
    PS.
    Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

  • Since iOS 8.1.2 upgrade problems with yahoo mail via apple mail client

    Since the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 on my iPad I'm having issues with my yahoo mail account when using the apple mail client. I can send emails but cannot receive them. When I use the yahoo mail app there is no problem Sending or receiving. I have deleted and reinstalled my yahoo email account from the apple mail client. I have checked the wifi by changing between wifi hotspots. I have also restarted the iPad as well as resetting. None of these actions have resolved the problem. would appreciate any assistance that can be provided.

    Do you use two-step verification for your Yahoo! account? If yes, you need an app-specific password.
    If no, make sure your password is already entered in the "Outgoing Mail Server" in the Settings app.
