Why is my Gmail inbox empty on my Macbook Air?

I recently purchased a Macbook Air, and when I access my Gmail through Safari the inbox is completely empty (despite the fact that I definitely have thousands of emails) and so I obviously don't receive new ones, nor can I access my current emails, unless I use a different computer.
Does anyone know why this is happening?? Yikes!
Please help!!

Check out that image above.
1.) Click on the cog wheel
2.) Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Is POP enabled? IF so, which option do you have selected under 2? Is archive or delete selected?

  • HT5628 why cant i install windows 8 on a macbook air 13-inch, Late 2010?

    why cant i install windows 8 on a macbook air 13-inch, Late 2010?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can install Windows 8 on your computer because it can run Windows 8, but you can't install the Windows support software that makes Windows run properly, so probably things like the Wi-Fi card, the sound and the graphic card may not work without these drivers.
    That's just an Apple restriction. Apple has decided to give Windows 8 support to the most recent Macs, leaving old Macs with Windows 7. Unfortunately, to run Windows 8 properly, the only option is to install it on a virtual machine. Apart from that, if you want to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp, you can do it

  • Why is there suddenly no audio from my macbook air?

    Why is there suddenly no audio on my macbook air?

    did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
    Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
      * this occurrence is being looked into.
    Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
    If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
       However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    Test this and re-verify
    peace

  • Why is my gmail inbox not refreshing without clearing cache

    without refreshing the cache on the browser, i cannot see any new gmail inbox contents.
    gmail site knows this as a fault and says to revert to a stable version of the browser. I am on 3.6, which, as far as i am aware, is the latest stable version.

    There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
    <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
    For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
    If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
    Best wishes,

  • Deleted emails keep returning to my inbox on my new macbook air! How can I stop this?

    I recently upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air and now some emails that I delete return to my inbox almost immediately. I've never experienced this issue before and it's kind of frustrating. How can I fix this?

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Why won't YouTube play on my new Macbook Air?

    I recently just purchased a brand new Macbook Air for work. 4th Gen. It's awesome. However, I also recently discovered that almost no videos will play from YouTube. I'm using Safari. After finding this out, I went through all the troubleshooting steps. I reinstalled my Flash Player. I tried it from a different browser. I opted out of the HTML 5 trial on YouTube. I changed my firewall settings. I did a software update. Downloaded java. I emptied the cache. And still...nothing. Sometimes the advertisements will play through but then when it gets to the content, the message "An error occurred, please try again later." I can't even tell you how annoying this is after so many page refreshes. I figure it has to be something wrong in the Mac itself, but I can't figure it out. Please...someone help!

    1.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow all other plug-ins
    2. Reset Safari.
        Click Safari in the menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
        Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
        Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
        Click "Reset".
    3. Turn off Extensions, if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
        Safari > Preferences > Extensions
         Now try YouTube.
    Best.

  • Why is Open GL performance so poor on MacBook Air?

    I was just comparing the performance of the MacBook Air compared to a MacBook Core Duo 2 GHz. MacBook Air has the newer and slightly faster graphic chipset (GM950 vs X3100), yet the MacBook air Open GL performance is terrible (221 for older MB vs 16.5 for MBA!). MBA even has more graphic memory.
    Anyone have any idea why this is?

    After a little research it actually looks like the new integrated graphics should have much better GL performance, but apparently the drivers are just not there yet.
    Here is hoping to a release soon!

  • Why would I want Windows on my new MacBook Air?

    I have a beautiful new MacBook Air and I'm running through all the Updates etc.  Then I see Bootcamp which is supposed to help me install Windows.  My question is, why would I want windows?  Are there things that Windows can do that Mac can't do?  Or do I just need to learn what the equivalents are of the old windows programs in my new operating system eg in windows i would use explorer to search the web - on my mac i use safari - are there equivalents to microsoft word and publisher and powerpoint just in Mac language and what are they called?

    .  My question is, why would I want windows? 
    I have no idea why anyone would.
    Are there things that Windows can do that Mac can't do?
    No.
    are there equivalents to microsoft word and publisher and powerpoint just in Mac language and what are they called?
    You can buy Microsoft Office for the Mac, but you should consider a number of better alternatives to Microsoft's bloatware. Some are free.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
    OpenOffice (donation-supported)
    Numbers ($19.99)
    Keynote ($19.99)
    Pages ($19.99)
    I use Numbers and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Why will Flash Player not work on my Macbook Air?

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player when i got my Macbook in Dec 2011, and until now it has worked fine. Today I downloaded Adobe Reader to view a PDF file, but I decided I preferred the Apple Preview, so I deleted the Adobe Reader off my system. I then tried to listen to a radio station online which requires Flash Player and it stated that I did not have the Flash Player on my laptop. I then tried to download Adobe Flash Player again to my laptop, and the download appeared to have worked but when I try to use websites like YouTube it asks for me to download Flash Player. Can you tell me why this is? And how to get Adobe Flash Player back on my Mac and for it to work again.

    When I open Task Manager the only thing I see is "Tasks".  I do not see the Processes tab.  I have seen this in the past along with measures of other activity, but not anything now.  I tried the Start/Search - nothing about Processes.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
