TeX Live, MiKTeX, MacTeX are TeX distributions, instead TeXShop,
Texmaker, TeXworks (and Emacs, of course!) are editors.

Never seen before, sorry, cannot help without further information.

Correlate mode only tells AUCTeX to compile with SyncTeX/source
specials support, but then you have to tell the viewer the selected
line.  Which are the viewers in use?  Check the variable
`TeX-view-program-selection' and `TeX-view-program-list' or
`TeX-view-program-list-builtin'.  For example, the built-in "xdg-open"
specification does nothing to tell the viewer which is the selected
line.

Are you referring to

  (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-install-toolbar)
  (add-to-list 'TeX-bar-LaTeX-buttons
               'latex-symbols-experimental t)

?  It seems you requested it (almost!) exactly one year ago:
