Synchronizing mail.app and google mail - help / advice needed

i recently decided to consolidate 2-3 of my email accounts into one account.
Here is what I did.
1. opened a new gmail account
2. copied messages from other folders into the "All Mail" folder of this account.
3. copied 20000 odd messages into the mail.app folder - but only 10880 messages can be seen on google online account.
Problem i need to solve:
1. i have confirmed that several of the messages that are in the offline folder are not on google.
2. i have tried to synchronize this account by choosing the menu action to synchronize.
3. But these messages are not finding their way to the online interface.
How do I move the remaining messages to google online?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Howdy,
One thing I found: I've noted that some mail's larger then approx. 20MB will not copy over.
Also, I've seen some reduction of the count of mail items, that appeared to be due to duplicate emails, I believe that Google's site is automatically de-duplicating, for our 'convenience'. The 'All mail' folder especially, will probably try to de-duplicate. Not sure if it's the same as copying into a 'new' individual folder, or not, as Google's 'all' folder does some special things. Perhaps copying to a new seperate folder may help.
I'm not 100% positive, but take a look, and see if you find that you've got some that you can sort for by size (make sure you're displaying the size column in mail.app) that are over 20MB or even close to that size, and/or also find several emails, with the same subject, date & time stamp, and when copied onto Google's account, then there is only one copy.
I would check those things out first, and see if that helps resolve the issues.
Cheers,
Daniel Feldman

You will have to restore and thus erase the iPod. If you stuff is in a backup y can restore from backup. Otherwise it is lost.

Try restoring the iPod from backup. See the restoring section of the following:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
If the apps and music are in your itunes library just sync them back to the iPod if necessary. If the apps and music are not in your iTunes library see the following. Not all options are available if you are outside the USA and do not have the latest iOS and iTunes.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Mail app and google account with two step verification fail

Hi,
I try to add my gmail account to Mail app, but it says that login or password is incorrect. I'm using google 2 step verification, that means that I should generate an app-special password each time I use a new application with this google account. I've generated the password for gmail app and logged in successfully, but it doesn't work for Mail app (each application has it's own password).
iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
Gmail app v. 1.2.7182
Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry. You misunderstood what I was saying - or perhaps I should say that I said it wrong. I meant that I was unfamiliar with this problem - that's all that I meant.
The link for 4.0 is simply for iPads that are running iOS 4.0 or higher. That is what the link refers to. This is copied from the website
Note: These setup instructions are for Apple devices running software version 4.0.
View instructions for older software.
It does not state it specifically, but it means 4.0 or higher. Google hasn't updated anything further for higher than iOS 5 that's all.
But if you checked it out already or don't want to check it out because you think it doesn't apply - that's your prerogative.
EDIT - your problem was solved as soon as I posted. Glad you got it all worked out!

TS1368 Extremely frustrated with error message when trying to download apps and updates. HELP please!

I have been trying to download a couple of apps and keep getting the message "cannot connect to iTunes." This is nonsense because I can access both the app store and iTunes directly. I've downloaded other items today with no problem. Now all of a sudden I'm getting this error whenever I try to download an app or update an existing one. And it doesn't help that that it practically takes an act of congress to access a human being to ask a simple question. I would very much appreciate any help I can get in resolving this issue. I have already tried rebooting my iPad and my software is up to date. Haven't tried it with my iPhone yet. Thanks.

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

Synicing apps and music please help mee!

hello all,
this all started a few months back i cant rember how many but i found out i could shop on my ipod for apps and music etc.. anyway i hardly ever used the pc for anything even charging cause i have a wall charger in my room so i kinda have gotten used to not shopping on the itunes store on the pc. well a few days ago i decided i better stop being lazy so i pluged in my ipod touch to shop on itunes and well i asked a question and it got anwsered so i transfered my apps and music stuff into the pc so i can shop well when i got to the apps part of my itunes menu on my ipod info it has apps and stuff underneath it faded? so theres this little tick box thing beside it so i click on it and this is what it came up with (i copied it all out everything you see is what it actually said)
"are you sure you want to sync apps? all existing apps and their data on the ipod "mins ipod" will be replaced with the apps from this itunes library"
i dont want to click on it before i ask people so my question is does anyone know what i should do?
please help me!

Syncing to a new computer or iTunes will erase the content of your device and replace it with the content of that iTunes.
To make sure that your settings, data and apps are transferred to your computer, back up manually and restore from that backup afterwards. Here's how to do.
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes with the same account. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Windows 8.1 calendar app and Google

What's the point of the calendar app giving the option to set up using Google if you can't sync them together??? Is there a work-around instead of using outlook.com??

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
I am afraid that you cannot use the built-in Windos 8/8.1 Calendar app with Google services:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/use-google-windows-8-rt
The MS vs Google "battle" prevents this. A workaround Microsoft suggest is to import your Google Calendar to Outlook, which is not suitable for business email.
I suggest you install some additional application such as Google Chrome with their apps inside or Microsoft Outlook (part of MS Office), or different. If this is business/company email, I suggest you check with your local helpdesk or local company support guys.
Best wishes,

Help/advice Needed! Paid for 2 years with no servi...

I have been with BT for 2 years since we moved into our first home, paying approx £40 a month for phone line and broadband! When we initially signed up we were asked various questions to see what product would be best for us, we told them we wouldn't be using phone line as we use our mobiles and would only use the wifi for childrens iPad! We were told to download BT app and log into wifi using email and password which we have done for 2 years! The wifi has always been very slow Nd hit and miss but we live in middle of no where so thought it was our area! After 2 years we have decided to start using home phone for childrens school purposes! So we bought phone, plugged it in and no dialling tone! Called BT who sent out engineer within a week! When engineer arrived he asked where is our hub? My response being whats a hub? After explaining how we usually connect to wifi he explained that that's not our wifi and a hotspot! So basically been paying for over 2 years never used land line or Internet due no fault of our own! We were never told about a hub or received one? The engineer told me to call and complain so which I did over 3 weeks ago! The advisor says he would fill in a form and pass on to his manager, but sent is a hub out which is charged us for? The hub has came and I still can't get any internet after spending another 2 hours on phone doing various tests they can't get it working and are sending out another engineer and was told could possibly be charged £129 for! As you can imagine I am furious with? I still haven't heard back from anyone and have sent a complaints form in also! Can anyone give me any advice on where I stand as I'm not very good with technology? Thanks

Multiple Xserve config- help/advice needed...

We have just purchased a second xserve (quadcore) to go along with our current xserve (G5 dual-core). We run FTP, web(wikis, blogs, etc that use the LDAP for authentication), LDAP, Open Directory, softwareupdate, DNS, NetInstall (occasionally) and AFP services.
I would like to share the services across the two servers- using the new, more powerful machine to host the home directories, AFP, FTP, etc; and the older machine to handle web, etc. My concern is that I would like to have both use the same LDAP so that I only have to enter in users once, and so that everyone can access their files via FTP at one IP.
Is this even the best way to be thinking about implementing this? Will assigning one server as the OD master, and the other as the OD replica provide both servers with the same LDAP directory? I have clearly never done this before, and I am very excited to be able to use two servers to increase the efficiency. Thanks for any help/advice.

Hi
+Is this even the best way to be thinking about implementing this?+
Yes
+Will assigning one server as the OD master, and the other as the OD replica provide both servers with the same LDAP directory?+
Yes
I've done this myself many times. The relevant Admin Manuals do have enough information outlining what needs to be done:
http://www.apple.com/server/resources/
Steve's link is something you should definitely look at. There are some minor differences but nothing to get worried about. Both Servers have to be exactly the same OS and SSH needs to be enabled.

Help/advice needed - cannot restore iPod!

My iPod was working fine, until I tried to update it! Then my computer froze, and the iPod just showed the 'Do Not Disconnect' for hours. The iPod icon wasn't showing up in iTunes or on my desktop, so I disconnected it, and now I just get the little folder and exclamation point icon.
I have followed all the advice on the various Apple documents,, but every time I try to restore it, the update doesn't seem to recognise the iPod, and keeps telling me 'Plug in iPod', even though it is plugged in. I have tried using different USB ports, and the iPod does show up in My Computer (as Drive F), but the updater refuses to recognise it.
I have tried -
Resetting iPod
Putting it into Disk Mode
Have reinstalled Itunes, and redownloaded the iPod updater. Have also tried using old updaters, as well as reinstalling off the original CD that came with the iPod.
Have installed Service Pack 2, run Scan Disk, disconnected firewalls, AVG anti-virus etc.
My iPod is fully charged, but when I turn it on I keep getting the Apple logo, then the folder/exclamation point icon.
Any help/advice much appreciated!
Thank you

Help/advice needed SwinEvent thread and synchronization

I am having a problem where my app keeps locking up. I have a swing application that receives asynchronous realtime messages from a server.
On receiving these messages my views are required to update the components. I do this my calling a method with a synchronized block that updates the views components in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater clause.
This seems to work fine. However, sometimes when I click a menu item/button the app locks up.
I have put some debug in that shows me the synchronized block started but did not complete?!?!
I think this tells me that the SwingEvent thread interrupted my external notification thread, and caused some sort of deadlock.
If this is the case then why does my synchronized block of code not complete. I am not altogether sure what I should synchronize around.
For example I am doing something like this>
public void notify(Model model){
if(model == null) return;
synchronized(model){
System.out.println("started");
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
componentA.setText(model.getName());
System.out.println("ended");
My output when it locks is like this
started
ended
started
ended
started
At this point the app is frozen.
So I guess what I am asking is as follows>
Is the SwingEvent thread interrupting my external notification thread?
If so, why is the synchronized block not completing.
What should I synchronize?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google Voice APP and Google Voice will use cell phone minutes.

My Verizon contract has 1400 minutes shared with 3 cell phones. I noticed that my cell number was using minutes from the calling plan. I normally call the other two cell phones, and my home number (which is on my friends of family calling list). My original intention was to be able to hide behind Google Voice and not allow my cell phone number to be broadcast. Google Voice would use whatever phone number was available on their server, make the call, then connect with my cell phone to complete the connection. I didn't notice that my minutes were being used until after someone else reported that they had exceeded their plan minutes after switching their cell phone to use their Google Voice number for outgoing calls.
I called Verizon concerning this issue, and their only response was to contact the third party.
I have now, and informed my friends, to only use their number and change the Google Voice APP, Making Calls setting to "Do not use Google Voice to make any calls".
Just thought others would like to know.
