I don't want mail deleted from my iPhone to delete from my iMac. How can I prevent this?

I like to keep my iPhone mailbox clean, but I noticed that the new software deletes message from my iMac Inbox when I delete them out of my iPhone Inbox. I am not using iCloud for email on either device. How do I stop this from happening?

You cannot control whether the account is POP or IMAP, the email protocol is determined by the email provider. What Larry is pointing out is the way the two protocols function. If your account is an IMAP protocol account, you cannot control removal on opening. If it is a POP account you can. Since you say the account comes up IMAP then there isn't anything you can do to preserve the email for another device short of forwarding it to yourself so it reappears.

E mail attachments that are deleted show up in all images or all documents; how can I prevent this form happening?

e mail attachments that are deleted seem to still show up in the all images or all documents files; how do I keep this from happening? If an attachment is deleted I don't want to continue to keep a copy anywhere. Thanks.

I know this is almost a year later but I have been searching for a solution to the same problem you had. How did you fix this issue? I can see that something pops up on this site right before a transition. Why does that happen and not show in the preview and how do you fix it? Any help is appreciated!

You pay your bill to them. You set up service with them. Certainly you have the ability to contact them.

My newly-installed TB disappeared from my Windows 8.1 64bit laptop. How can I prevent this happening again?

When I installed the new TB "portable" a few minutes ago, all seemed to be going well. I downloaded an accumulation of messages from my server and began setting up archive folders and filters. Suddenly, TB froze and then disappeared! When I clicked on the icon, I was presented with an empty, new, TB, and asked whether I wanted a new email address, etc, as I had been before (and refused). I've gone ahead and am downloading my messages into the "empty" TB, but how do I keep the content from disappearing again?
I wonder if this is a glitch associated with the evil Windows 8.1. Any ideas?
Thanks,
MaxineKL in Canada who much prefers Tbird to Outlook

The compatibility problem has been solved (the security setting needed to be changed to SSL/TLS, which changed the port to 995, and the message no longer appears. Thanks. Meanwhile, I am just hoping that content of TB doesn't up and disappear again without any warning or message. Have you any ideas about that problem?

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

My apple id is with gmail, I want to change it and create an @me email address. How can I do this?, My apple id is with gmail, I want to change it and create an @me email address. How can I do this?

You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
