4000 "unread" emails after update! How to fix it?

After updating to iOS 7, my hotmail inbox suddenly reports over 4 thousand unread emails. How could that happen? I mark all as read, and the problem goes away for a while, until i check my mail again. Then the same crazy amount of "unread" emails pops up. I can't get rid of it! Does anyone know how? I've talked to Apple Support for an hour, but they could not solve the problem.
Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Could you explain the imap-pop-bit for me please? I'm afraid I don't know too much about it. I remember Apple saying something about it too. As far as I know, the Hotmail account is a pop-account? What is an imap, and should I change if possible?
Yes, I forgot to say I also have a Gmail-account that I use on my iPhone. It works perfectly well, and hasn't gotten the same problem. It works slightly different: When I read a Gmail message on my iPhone, it is also marked as read if I log on to my Gmail inbox online later, and if I delete a message, it is also deleted online. With my Hotmail, I can delete messages on my iPhone, and they're still marked as unread when I log on online. I have enjoyed that solution, because it means I can for instance delete messages that take up too much space on my iPhone, and still keep them online.
Regards,
Andy

Hi tania184,
Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

Has anybody experienced missing sent emails after updating their iPhone to IOS 5.0? Mail composed on phone appears to send but is never delivered nor does it show in sent items. Using Exchange 2010. Any thoughts??

@Satterp
Not sure if you were responding to me or OP - my iPhone is on 5.1. The OP at the time of writing was on 5.0.1.
Also, the OP and I had setup our Hotmail as an Exchange server (similar to IMAP), not POP3.

Hello SHenoudabak,
It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot

Camera blurry after last update how to fix?

Blurry camera after last update on I pad. How to fix?

Hello Littlebit5,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the camera on your iPad. I recommend following steps 3-8 below for the issue you described (these steps refer to an iPhone, but these steps are applicable to an iPad as well):
Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Outlook 2011 won't send emails after updating to 10.8.5

After updating to 10.8.5, I can no longer send emails out of my .mac account. I am using Outlook 2011 and have double checked the outgoing server settings and everyting checks out fine. Seems to be a compatability issue now with Outlook and iOS. Can anyone confirm this or know how to fix this problem? Thanks

BTW - the error message that comes up is: "5.7.8 Bad username or password (Authentication failed)..."

I lost all my emails after update

After updating to Maverick, Mac Mail doesn't show old messages anymore. They are still there, but when I open them, they're totally blank. I have 3 years of emails in my Macbook and I'm very disappointed. Any clue on how restore them?

Resetting does not lose content so you must be talking about restoring it.
I haven't had any problems with the iOS 6.0.1 update. Is that the update you are talking about?
It's frustrating to encounter problems like this but don't fall into the, "if I had a problem everyone else must be having it too", trap.
I'm a bit confused about what state you are currently in. Did you restore your iPad to Factory (just like new) using iTunes on your PC/Mac? If so, are you still having problems? If yes, you may have a hardware problem. Fixing this would be covered under warranty if your iPad is only 4 months old. Contact Apple support or visit an Apple store.

Cannot send email after update on iphone 5

cannot send email from one account after update, states my password and/or user name incorrect. I have it written down,it's not incorrect.

After the iOS 7 update, in order to send email from my iPhone5 and my daughters (also from our iPads) I had do follow Apples reset instructions. Hold the HOME buttton and the START/AWAKE button until your device restarts and you see the Apple logo when your device restarts. You do not have to swipe the message bar which shows up sometimes as your iPhone is shutting down. Sadly to say, but on my daughters iPhone 5, I had to do this 5 times.
If you live near an Apple store, make them do it so that someone at Apple will send a fix for other people. I looked for a simple way to contact Apple and there is none. There is a series of prompts and links that are time consuming to be able to reach support about even a simple problem.

Cannot reply to email after update to 10.8.4

Recently - I believe after updating to 10.8.4 - Apple Mail 6.5 will no longer send replies or forwards. After troubleshooting different scenarios, it seems to be related to the original message text being included in the reply/forward. I need to include all previous message text in my emails for audit purposes.
Any suggestions/fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
