Cannot get new messages to download automatically and auto reply with out of office message have to manually check for new messages to get it to do this
I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 31.3.0. I know how to create a message filter to set up an auto reply message, but cannot get Mozilla to automatically download new message and auto reply with the message in the filter unless I manually check for new messages, that is the only way to make it work. I have looked online and can't seem to find an answer to this particular issue. According to anything that I have found, I have the correct boxes checked in server settings: check for new messages at startup, automatically check for new messages, check for new messages every x amount of minutes. It's one thing to have to leave my computer on and Thunderbird open to make this work, but to have to manually check for new messages to get the auto response to work defeats the whole purpose of having an auto reply, as I use them for vacations, holidays, etc. I have wondered if there are any security settings that are causing this issue, but if so, I don't know what changes to make to them. Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.
I do find it a bit odd that Thunderbird is not getting mail on schedule, perhaps you have an add-on or anti virus program that prevents that.
Holding shift while you start Thunderbird will start with add-ons disabled to check if mail come automatically.
Airmail is right though, use Verizons auto responder. This link might help with that http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/account+tools/email+tools/questionsone/85621.htm#
You say that not having such a setting in Thunderbird is something that needs fixing. This idea comes on the whole because Outlook has such an option. what most people are not aware of it only works with Exchange server. There is no "vacation response" in server mail specifications so every server implements it differently.
Just as all cars have a radiator, you can not take any radiator and just put it in, they are subtly different even though they perform the same purpose. Same goes for the various vacation responders, They perform the same purpose but they differ between email server software brands.
Thunderbird leaves it to the server end to expose the functionality, as they are really the only ones who understand what they did. Outlook exposes the option and mostly greys it out.

After I downloaded Maverick, I noticed that my photobooth images were out of chronological order. I've since downloaded OS X Yosemite (10.10) and they are still out of order. My version of Photobooth is 7.0 (719). Is there a fix for this? Many thanks in advance.

Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards? -
I keep it in a leather case, and have never let it come into contact with anything,
There's not much anyone here can offer, since none of us work for Apple and have no power to intervene in this issue. The Apple technician can only go by what he or she sees, not by what you claim since not everyone is honest about what has happened. In addition, Apple's warranty does not cover defects that are strictly cosmetic:
This warranty does not apply: (a) [removed for brevity]; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic on ports;
You can try pleading your case with the manager of the store, or with Apple Customer Relations (call Apple tech support and ask to speak with a customer relations agent), but they may not be able to do anything to help you.
Good luck, and regards. -
Why does Mail 'check for new messages' despite it being set to 'manual'?
I want to only receive new email either once per hour or better still manually (once or twice during the day at a time chosen by me). That way I won't be bombarded with emails all day and can get on with my work.
So, I set the 'check for new messages' to 'manually'.
Nevertheless I get email coming in frequently. Possibly every time I send an email, it also checks for new incoming mail (I'm not sure but that's my hunch).
How can I stop Mail from pulling in my new incoming email?
Any answers to this? If I can't figure this out or it's not possible in Apple Mail, it might be time to switch (but I don't want to!)
Thanks in advance
DanThanks Linc, works great.
There should be a hint for this in Mail's preferences, underneath the 'check for messages' option -
After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account
Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

I had iTunes on my old computer and I am trying to get all of the same music on my new computer. I have download iTunes and signed in, but it is not showing up in my library. How do I get all of my old music back?
It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.
Hi!
I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.
Hope I was help!

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?
Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works -
I was receiving and sending my emails perfectly, now nothing gets downloaded? It checks for new emails but do not find anything and I know there is. Please help
Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?
Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.
It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).

Happened after a system crash. Thunderbird works, and I can read all my other folders, but I can't get access to the emails that were in my inbox yesterday and earlier.
Just one profile appears, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
On your questions:
1) What operating system do you use: Windows 7
2) Are you using IMAP or POP? POP
3) If your mail server has a browser interface do the messages show up there? No, they were downloaded locally.
4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
a) Number of messages? 104
b) Size on disk? 47.7 MB
But this is probably not the question you want to know, since this is the size of the folder and the mail I've received only after the crash and the disappearance of the email. At the time the folder failed, I would estimate it had around 1500 messages and probably close to 1GB in size.
5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings; What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
There is no "when I delete a message" option under server server settings for this account. "Check for new messages at start up." "Check for new messages every 10 minutes," and "Automatically download new messages" are all checked under server settings. Fetch headers only and Leave messages on server are not. From a quick search online I see that this is not a POP option.
6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed? McAfee Security Scan Plus
Thanks. Still hoping to recover the lost messages. -
no matter how many times I ask T'bird to check for new mail I get back ANOTHER copy of the same message dated 7:28am and NO MAIL received after that reaches my INBOX. On my other PC running Windows 7 only ONE copy of the 7:28am transmission arrives as does all subsequent email sent to me at this address... both PC's are protected by Avast anti-virus software. Turning the rogue PC off and on did not help nor did uploading and installing an updated version of T'bird.
Are the setup the same? same accounts, same folders, same messages, same filters same add-ons?
If that the case make a copy of the good profile and replace the bad one with that. -
itunes won't install. I get a message stating "apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I had itunes on this laptop and an urgrade came. Now nothing. Windows7, 64 bit
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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
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.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
