A silver dollar for anyone who can explain Mail 'Get Messages' failure

Mail 6.2 (build 1499) on a very stable 10.8.2.
No settings changed in the last 6 months; no accounts added (etc) in the last 30 days; same ISP (Time Warner - have reset my cable modem etc).
Until a couple of days or so ago, Get Mail (top left) took at most 5 seconds to retrieve all POP3 mail from the dozen or so accounts I have with three or four hosts.
Now, every time I try to collect from all my accounts that way, one or more of them fails.
Every tme. Different accounts, which means different of the hosts.
Right-clicking on the single account(s) with the triangle exclamation point and selecting 'Get new mail from…' immediately afterwards invariably works instantly.
What can it be about the act of collecting all mail that fails when from individual accounts/separate hosts one at a time it succeeds?
Thanks!

Try a reset first: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

I'll assume that you are referring to purchasing a book in iTunes. If that is the case, you can transfer the purchase with the phone, or you can sync the phone and iTunes.

$100 Reward for anyone who can fix this issue

I will give $100 to the first person who can fix the false empty cartridge issue described here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Ink-cartridge-empty-but-it-s-not/m-p/176836
The fix must eliminate the false error message that a cartridge is empty and enable the printer to resume printing.
As you can see in the link, people have struggled with this problem for years and no consistent fix has been discovered. I am hoping that a smart person out there can find the cause of this problem and a solution for it.
I suspect that a file or registry entry must be set that indicates a false empty cartridge. This false entry is retained even when a new cartridge is installed, or the printer software is removed and reinstalled.
Even though many people have worked on this issue over the years, there still may be a creative solution out there. Let's hear it and if it works you get the money.

Hi,
Reward not required nor needed...
But... I didn't see a post in your link about using a newly created utility by hp. I don't know if there is a fix in the utility although it has fixed some other printer issues... something that could be tried.

I have a somewhat strange request for anyone who can help. A300-146.

A friend of mine gave me this satellite A300-146 laptop about a year ago, and I want to fix it up so I can use it. The trouble is, this is not a US model, and the motherboard is bad. It turns on, everything spins up (except the HDD, that was dead) but no video. I've had the same situation with desktops and it was invariably a dead mobo. So my question is this. Are there any other a series mobos that will work in this thing? I've tried google searching for the same model type mobo, but no dice, not even from overseas retailers and wholesalers.

I think you'll find this one works: V000125000

Gmail Invites to anyone who can help me get my messages from gmail

Got your attention huh? Ok, I have another post on this forum entitled "Error with either GMail or getMessages()" in which I detail what I believe is a problem with the getMessages() method. I have 100 invites which I'm not likely to use otherwise, so if you think you can help, you're welcome to one of them.

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
One other thing, before attempting to use your iPod on two computers you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

I currently have earned more than 200 dukes and am willing to give them all (including any additional ones that posters may give me later on) to anyone who can expose these cowardice posters and the imposter for who they are.
Seriously,

Zombie email message won't die! $1 bounty to anyone who can solve this.

I have a message that absolutely will not die. I've tried everything I can think of to delete it, but it keeps coming back. I've tried moving it from one mailbox to another, killing it with the delete key, killing it by cutting it (Command-X), but it lingers on. At this point, it only shows up in the index with a subject and date, but the content of the message is gone. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes a number of times, but it always reappears. I've tried logging into my various accounts through the web interface, but it doesn't exist on the servers anywhere, it's only local as far as I can see.
In my last attempt to get rid of it, I scanned my ENTIRE HARD DRIVE for the string of text containing the subject line using grep, and narrowed it down to a few files in the ~/Library/Mail folder, which I deleted through the Terminal using rm. I then re-opened Mail and rebuilt the mailboxes, and the email STILL appears. It will no longer let me move the message to another mailbox, however, but I can't get the damned thing to disappear.
I will PayPal $1 to anyone who can come up with a solution that doesn't involve recreating my Mail accounts. May the game begin!

Hello,
Are you using an IMAP or POP account?
Anything you do in the Terminal, Finder or some third party Mail app enhancers will very often mess up the index, which appears to be a symptom of.
I think you should force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.

Can't seem to talk to anyone who can actually help me!

I have been trying to get legitimate assistance for my high speed Internet that went down yesterday right in the middle of a final I was taking for school. However after hours of tech support trouble shooting and being hung up on to the hour plus I waited on hold today, I have yet to speak with anyone who can tell me why nobody seems to care about my lack of a connection. I was told the issue is not with my house and is a Verizon field issue but nobody is available to fix this. How is that possible?! It is absurd that I am on day 2 of no Internet when I work from home and go to school online. The amount of data I am using just to post this message is probably absurd. I really need to speak with some sort of management and can't understand why this is such a problem. Can someone please give me a number or email address to someone who can actually help me?!

If you are having an issue with your Verizon service, you can use the Verizon Troubleshooter to fix and report issues with your Verizon Phone, FiOS TV, or Internet Service, as well as to schedule a repair, here is the link:

You can find tools on the Verizon Residential Support page that may help you diagnose your issue:

I have installed ios7 on my iPad 4. After installation it asked me pass code which I have never set. After multiple attempts it is disabled. I don't have backup on my iCloud or iTunes. Is there anyone who can help to enable it or to reverse iPad to ios6.

I have installed ios7 on my iPad 4. After installation it asked me a pass code which I have never set. After multiple attempts it is disabled. I don't have backup on my iCloud or iTunes. Is there anyone who can help to enable it or to reverse iPad to ios6. I asked Apple store & tech said to format it but I will lose all the data..!

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

I have a MacBook Pro, 15-inch, Mid 2009. I would love to upgrade to a Solid State Drive. What is the best possible upgrade I can buy. I need the specs and even brand name. Thank you to anyone who can help.

A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM. Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM. RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.
Ciao.

I have a problem, i can't change my lockscreen wallpaper after i upgrade my iphone 4s to ios 5.1.1... Is there anyone who can help me?

I have a problem, i can't change my lockscreen wallpaper? Doesnt work...is there anyone who can help me regarding this problem? Thx

To help, we need more detailed information.
--What steps are you trying?
--What does the device tell you (any pop-ups or messages)?
--Are you able to change the Home screen wallpaper, or is that affected too?
--Are you the phone's owner/administrator, or is this a device used for work (assigned/administered by IT staff, possible on an Exchange server)?
--Have you jailbroken the device?

Made a form in which colleagues can add revisions(+1 row) and amendments (1a,b,c). Once filled in, and opened again the amendments disappear. Anyone who can help?

Hi everyone,
See picture below. Part of a large form I made for work. Got a little problem though. Adding a new row with the button 'add a new revision' is working perfect (also when saved and reopened). But when I add amendments with the + button on the right (a,b,c), these disappear when I save and reopen the file. Anyone who can help?
Thanks!

Ok, I've checked your form and there are some problem in your design.
You should use better namings for your objects!
It makes no sense to name to tables with repeatable instances the same.
This can cause problems with repeated objects and also requires the usage of the slow resolveNode() method.
I've changed a few object names and so I where able to shorten many of your current scripts.

For Anyone who has Blackberry Connect WITH OTA Con...

I've tried with an E61i, E90, and now E51, all with the latest firmware and latest Blackberry Connect software, and nothing I do on the device allows me to be able to do OTA sync of our corporate Exchange, (Outlook), Contacts. I only have the standard 3 options for sync in my Blackberry Connect client on my phone, Email Settings, Email Filters, and Calendar.
For anyone who has this working, can you confirm whether or not there is a BES server side setting that must be enabled to allow this OTA Contact sync, and what it is? If this is the case I'm not sure our corporate BES admin will go for it, but I can at least stop pulling my hair out on the client side..
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the link. I did went there and had a look.
First, as the article pointed out, there is a difference between Mac users and PC users. Mac users are Mac FANs, PC user are mostly just PC users. So if I look at the numbers, the number for Macs is less objective to me.
Second, the data was collected on pre-Intel units, especially iBooks, which has been around how many years? more than 5 I believe, correct me if I am wrong. Any product having that kind of life span should have a nearly perfect quality. Apple just simply had much more time to correct defect than other PC manufaturers, so no mistery here.
Third, Apple charges a premium price for its products, so it shoule choose the coponent vendors carefully and it owns its customers/fans a solid system. On the other hand, the other PC vendors are constantly going through fierce competition to lower their price, so it is inevitable to have some component vendors providing crapy parts, such as some LCD screens and keyboards from Dell.
Finally, lets look at MB and MBP, if they are as good as old Macs, then we should see similar amount of people complaining about MB and MBP as iBook and similar, but is it the case?
I very much want to be a member of the Mac world, especially now it uses one chip I worked on, but my shopping and reading experience told me otherwise - the MacBook is not ready, we need time to see if it lives up to the Apple name and it would be interesting what the next report from PC Magzine will look like...
Being a PC user almost all my life till now, want to join the Mac club, but Apple is making it supper hard for me. Is it really too much to ask for a working new MacBook upon arrival?!
