Just got a new macbook air I added 2 google email accounts to the mail program.  The mail downloaded thousands of emails and now on the top right hand corner I get bombarded by notification of these emails from 3-4 years ago and it is non stop.

When I added 2 gmail accounts to my new macbook air.  The email program download thousands of emails and now I am getting notifications non stop on the top right hand corner from years ago it is non stop notification for the emails from like 2007 really old emails.  I am not sure why it is notifying me of old emails I know it is new just downloaded in the program but it should only notify me of recent emails shouldn't it?

If your email client (Mail) it set to never delete emails from the server,  they stay there waiting. The server doesn't track what you've already downloaded, so a new setup of Mail just grabs whatever it finds on the server. You can change this in Settings, but for now, you have all your old emails to sort.

  • The google search bar in the top right-hand corner has changed language to Spanish!! I've tried to change it but it just goes back to Spanish

    One day, it just changed so that whatever I search for searches using the Spanish Google web-page. When I go into Advanced setting to change it to English it can't change.

    Try going to the [http://www.google.com/ncr Google No Country Redirect] link. Does it still happen after disabling country redirects?

    You may get a dialog box indicating you need to contact Microsoft to activate it if you've used up all your activations (2 for the professional version or 3 for the home/student version). Don't worry - you won't be hassled, just explain that you just bought a new computer and you are transfering the license.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery.  Just the icon.
    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
    - What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

  • I just got a new MacBook Air -- Moving data over from the Time Capsule over WiFi??

    I just bought a new MacBook Air because my MacBook Pro 2008 died completely. I own a Time Capsule and it backed up regularly. I'd like to just move over all my data to my new 256GB MacBook Air, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the Time Capsule over WiFi? I had the Time Capsule set to backup over Ethernet. Does this mean I can only access my files vs. Ethernet? Does that mean I need a USB to Ethernet adapter?

    Backing up other Ethernet doesn't prevent access via Wi-Fi.
    If the Time Capsule creating a wireless network?  If not, you'll need to configure it to do so in order to allow the MBA to connect to it.  If it does, can you connect the MBA to the Time Capsule's network?
    Depending on the amount of data you want to transfer, using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter would help things run faster.

  • Just got a new Macbook Air. How can I get quicktime to play wmv and other video formats?

    I just purchased a new Macbook Air. I have loaded quicktime, but it doesn't play all formats such as wmv and others. What is the best way to accomplish this?

    Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
    RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
    http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Just got a new Macbook Air.  Music library from ios devices/itunes isn't showing up on itunes on the mac.  How can I get it to work?

  • What is X11 and what does it do is it worth downloading i've just got a new Macbook air

    What is x11and what does it do i've just bought a Macbook Air note book and was wondering if this x11 is worth downloading

    In short, think of it as a graphical interface (e.g. window, menus, etc.) that can work across multiple systems. Applications written to use an X11 interface can run on any OS (Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows) with a suitable X11 server (such as XQuartz, mentioned above).
    The pros are that such an app can run anywhere. The cons being that it's kind of a lowest-common-denominator effect so it doesn't look like most native applications.
    One cool effect, though, is the remote nature of X11 - it's possible to run an application on a remote machine (over the LAN, or even over the internet) and have it display its output on your local X11 system, so your mouse clicks, keystrokes, etc. are transmitted over the wire, processed by the server, and the results displayed on your screen.
    As to whether it's worth it - there's no harm in downloading and installing it - it won't do anything unless any app you're running calls for X11, and any application that needs it will tell you so.

  • What does it mean that my macbook pro freezes until i smack it lightly in the bottom right hand corner by the trackpad???? is this specifically a hard drive problem? I don't know what to do.....

    its' been happening a year now maybe?
    i have a macbook pro 17" from 2008 or 9.
    been a great computer but little things are going now....
    for some reason my firewire ports don't like to work and randomly tell me my external drives are disconnected. my firewire 800 doesn't work at all..
    my lcd is getting dim.
    and the latest thing is my computer will freeze when you're doing something simple like googling something and it will stay frozen until you smack it on teh lower corner next to teh trackpad on the right hand side.
    more than annoying.
    what can i do?
    i was going to try to repair this one, but it seems like it would be more cost efficient to just get a new one...
    OH and my keyboard gets more than hot now
    AND i can't, for whatever reason, burn any dvds or cds in my drive.. it gives me some random error..
    my $h*t$ jacked up.

  • I just got my new MacBook Air 2 months ago and it keeps freezing

    The only thing I've downloaded was spotify. Safari won't open and other thing I try to do take really slow then freeze. It started a few days ago when I tried to download pictures.

    Since your Air is so new, the best thing you can do is call AppleCare. It's a free service and they will help you figure out exactly what's going on with the computer.
