Upgraded to apple mail 4.5 now gmail pop doesn't work

Have a MacBook Air...was on the fritz. Took it to Genius Bar. Seemed the OS was corrupted, and they gave me a free upgrade to 10.6.8
Nice.
Only problem is, am now having all sorts of trouble getting my Apple Mail 4.5 to work with Gmail POP. Some days are okay, but then for no reason it just stops downloading incoming...Can send. But receive just stops.
Any suggestions?

Any developers follow this forum? Any in site? Want any troubleshooting on my end or extra info?
Looks like i'm not the only person with a problem.

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Upgraded to OS X Mavericks and now my Calendar doesn't work.

    Yesterday upgraded my Mac to OS X Mavericks and since restarting every time I go to open my Calendar - it quits unexpectedly - and does not open at  all.
    Is this a known problem and how can I correct this - as I use this daily and it has all my future appointments in?

    Thanks

    Hello KSara,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Start up in safe mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373?viewlocale=en_US
    Shut down your computer and wait 10 seconds.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
    To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Upgraded to 10.4.11 and now audio chat doesn't work

    Two days ago, I downloaded the 10.4.11 system upgrade and now I can get ichat's video chat to work (with audio) but I can't access the audio chat. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I'm on a Macbook with the Intel core 2 duo processor. I am using airport to get online.
    Thanks!!!

    You may have hit it on the head. I was attempting to chat with my folks who are on a PC using AIM.
    However, I had been able to do this previously. Plus in the last few days it has worked twice and then not worked several times after that. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this. Since it worked fine before the upgrade, I thought perhaps it was an issue that others might be having too.
    Anyone?? Thanks!!!

  • Had Apple do a migration, now PS Elements doesn't work. Help needed. Thanks

    I took my old iMac (mid-2007) into Apple to do a migration to my new iMac (late-2012). When I got it back, some third party programs no longer worked correctly. In particular, Photoshop Elements. It pops up a message stating that PSE is missing a plug-in and will not work. What are my options since my new iMac no longer has an optical drive and my PSE is a disc. Maybe an appointment to the Genius Bar (since they have the optical drive peripheral)? Any other suggestions or thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    What version of PSE are you running?

  • How do I synch iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail?

    I believe this is the simplest way to phrase this:
    I want everything that I do to my Gmail account, no matter where I do it (iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 on a MacBook Pro, and Gmail on the web) to synch across those three platforms.
    Now on to the more complicated part and multiple questions:
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the only way for iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 and Gmail web to behave completely "in synch" is to use ONLY IMAP...and therefore, the first step I took was to DISABLE POP on Gmail web, and ENABLE IMAP on Gmail web.
    Problem #1: My Apple Mail account was originally set up as POP. Therefore, I created a "second" gmail account in Apple Mail, using the same username and password, but choosing to use IMAP rather than POP. So now MAILBOXES in Apple Mail has 2 "sub inboxes" under my Inbox, which I named "Gmail Pop (for archival purposes only)" and "Gmail - IMAP." There is also "DRAFTS" (unchanged), "SENT" (unchanged), and "TRASH" with 2 "sub trash cans" - Gmail Pop and Gmail IMAP.
    * Since POP is disabled, at this point is it safe to completely delete the entire POP account from my Apple Mail? If I do that, will "Gmail Pop" disappear as a "sub inbox" and "sub trash can"? I would like to have only 1 INBOX and TRASH under MAILBOX in Apple Mail.
    * Once I am ONLY using IMAP on my MacBrook Pro, what happens when I have no wireless / internet connection (for example, when I'm out of my condo and riding on the train)? Is there any way to actually download my Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders to Apple Mail on my Mac using only IMAP - so that I have the option to work offline?
    Problem #2: I figured out how to change the setting on my iPhone so that I can actually delete messages and not just archive them to "All Mail" on Gmail Web and make them disappear from the iPhone Inbox.  The issue is that on all 3 devices - iPhone 4S, Apple Mail 3.6 AND Gmail, with IMAP enabled I now have 3 "trash folders":  I'm not exactly sure where everything is going depending where it's deleted from, but I ONLY want it to go to TRASH (and not the weird [Gmail]Trash folder nor the newly created "Deleted Messages" option in Gmail Web) - regardless of how it's deleted.
    * How do I get rid of the [Gmail]Trash and Deleted Messages options across all 3 clients (iPhone, Apple Mail and Gmail web) - so that whether I'm running my thumb over the message in my Inbox and choosing "Delete" (iPhone version) / pressing the "Delete" button on my Mac (Apple Mail version) / checking the box next to the message in my inbox and then clicking the Trash icon that comes up (Gmail version) - so that no matter how I'm deleting my mail, all that happens is that it goes into just one Trash area (on all 3 clients) - so that it gets permanently deleted after 30 days....Basically, I don't want messages lingering in a bunch of different trash folders, where some are permanently deleted and some aren't - I just want 1 "centralized" trash area!
    Problem #3: In Apple Mail --> Mail --> Preferences --> Mailbox Behaviors: If I want the solutions for problem #1 and problem #2 to work, which boxes should be checked?  I don't really understand why you would or would not put everything on "the server"... nor do I understand what "server" they are talking about.
    Problem #4: Since I've started using IMAP on my Mac, my internet connection in general, as well as my Apple Mail, has slowed down quite a bit. Will this go away once I completely rid my computer of the POP files? 
    Problem #5: Doesn't it seem pretty simple that someone would want all the same things to happen to you whether you're using Gmail web, Apple Mail, or your iPhone? Why don't Google and Apple work together to make this a MUCH simpler process?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Apple Mail 3.2 and GMail IMap

    Hi,
    Yes, I know this topic has been discussed on this forum before, but I have not 100% been able to put the pieces together.
    I can get Apple Mail 3.2 running Gmail via IMAP with no problem by following the instructions on the google site:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81379
    Then I set my account as directed by Google for recommended account settings:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892
    I am able to send and receive email. But I see some quirks:
    1. When I send a message, it is not stored in the Apple Mail "Sent" box. It just remains empty. Why?
    2. When I sent my first message the "Store Sent Messages on the Server" became checked even though I unchecked it during account setup. Why?
    3. If I have multiple gmail accounts that I set up in Apple Mail 3.2, will they all be under one Apple Mail 3.2 "Inbox" combined?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Hal:
    I think you will get a better answer to your question by contacting G-mail. In my case, I use AOL mail in Apple's mail application. AOL catches the vast majority of spam/junk and it is placed in a spam folder. The few that get through seem to be trapped by Apple's mail and placed in the Junk folder.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Upgraded to iOS6 and now charging cable doesn't work

    I just upgraded to iOS6 n my iPhone 4, and now my charging cable doesn't work.  No...it's not an "official" Apple charger, but even the usb cable doesn't work when I plug it into my computer.  If I plug my iPad charger into it, it works fine.  How can the new operating system determine what kind of usb charging cable it "wants" to accept?  This charger and cable worked flawlessly before the OS upgrade.

    Same problem here. I use a wall charger and have had success by unplugging the charger from the wall, plugging the adapter into the iPhone, then plugging charger back into wall. Had the same problem with a car charger and got the phone to charge using the same procedure. I'd love to know if this works for you. Good luck!

    I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
    icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!
