For example if two different masses are attached to the ends of a rope and the rope is part of a pulley system that has mass, why is the tension in the rope unequal on both sides?

I am having a bit of difficulty with the concept of unequal tension in a rope. What are the conditions for unequal tension? I read that the tension is the same when there is no acceleration. Why is this the case? Can someone explain this concept to me? Thanks :)
