After ios7 update, mail app showing 1 unread msg but there are no unread msgs. Fix?

After updating to iOS7, the mail app icon shows I have 1 unread message, however, all emails have been read. I logged in on the PC to make sure all were read. This also happened with a previous Android phone I had and there was no fix :/ I have tried restarting the phone and app itself but this hasn't worked so far.

If you've updated to IOS 7(GRRRRR) on your ipod/ipad/iphone you may be seeing you have dozens of unread emails in your inbox,even though you know you haven't.
This is a famous Apple glitch that they so far refuse to cure.
All the forums stick to the same line ie "mark all read" only to find it works only for the next email to come in and it's back again. I had 10000 odd from years back.
Here's a solution,it works with Hotmail/Live Mail/Gmail and all web based emails;
Log into your webmail on a computer via your browser,create a folder called,Archive or something like that,highlight all your emails and move them to that box,your inbox will now be empty but you've lost nothing,go to your Apple object and restart it,all your emails will move to that box and now not appear on your phone-unless your last 250 haven't been read by the Apple server,these you can just mark as read on your gadget and it's sorted.
It's taken me 10 days to find this.Thanks Apple I've got better things to do!

  • My voice mail is showing a red dot but there is no message.

    Hi.
    My voice mail is showing a red dot as if there is a message but there isn't. I think it happened when I changed my number, there must have been a message on my old number. I have tried restoring the phone but when I reload from my backup it re-appears. Any suggestions please, it on a 5C.

    I had turned off cellular data on a trip to Mexico. It said visual not available. As someone suggested, I turned off Siri, rebooted the phone, and then the messages I hadn't been able to delete showed up. I was able to delete them. Hope this helps someone.

  • After ios7 update iphone not showing in itunes on iMac as device

    After running latest iphone (4s) update & having the latest itunes update on my iMac the iphone device is no longer showing in itunes. I have checked the USB & changed ports however this does not appears to be the problem as iphone still charging when plugged in. Without this showing as device I have no way to Sync anything.

    Hey Loxwood,
    I found a few documented troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone doesn't appear on your Mac:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • HT1277 I can't see my email in Mail on my computer (OS 10.8.5) only in my iPhone (iOS7). Mail on my computer doesn't sense there are new emails. I use iCloud mail account. Anyone knows the solution, Apple support has not bothered to answer. .-((

    My Mail program doesn't show mail adressed to my icloud account. Messages show up on my iPhone but rarely on my iMac. I wrote Apple Support about this but they didn't even bother to answer.

    You’re welcome.
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on).
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • Why does the app vorlagen fuer numbers not work after ios7 update

    After ios7 update the app vorlagen fuer numbers won't open anymore, but vorlagen fuer numbers 2 works.

    I have been unable to find any app that works with Numbers on IOS7. I can still read them on IOS 6.1.3 with an iTouch.
    Numbers on IOS devices still works.

  • NY Times update is "frozen" after ios7 update

    after ios7 update,when in "Account Settings", the screen shows " Download Now- NY Times will now begin to download". When I tap "OK" the screen remains frozen.  After the ios7 update, the NY Times app had an update which I think it is trying to download now.
    I believe the "Account Settings" screen is for my iTunes account.

    Fortunately, I discovered that just by shutting down the iPhone(holding down the Top button);
    then restarting the iPhone; the freeze up was corrected.  Ahhh

  • Mail.app shows my .mac inbox is empty.  all other tools show it is not.

    a few days ago mail started acting strangely on my .mac account. it would indicate that i had a large number of unread messages in my .mac inbox, then when i looked at the inbox in mail, it would show up as empty.
    i started to think that there must be some kind of problem, so i quit mail and checked via webmail. webmail can see all the msgs in my inbox. i quit and try mail.app again. same result (mail shows 0 messages).
    i try forcing a "synchronize" from within mail (from the mailboxes menu). there is no change. i try a "rebuild" command from the mailbox menu. there is no change.
    i try firing up entourage and it sees the mail in my inbox. i quit entourage and try mail again. no change (mail shows 0 messages).
    i suspect that there is some kind of corruption or something either in the local state on my machine or perhaps a message which has some malformed headers or something which is sitting in my inbox and causing mail.app to be unable to properly download the mailbox contents.
    i tried using webmail to go in and either delete the messages or move them aside to a separate temporary mailbox. back in mail.app, it sees the new temporary mailbox and at first indicates that it has ~40 or so unread msgs (which is true plus about 10 more read msgs), but when i actually click on the mailbox to look at it, it appears empty. i reconfirmed that webmail and entourage can both see ~50 msgs in the temp mailbox, but mail.app shows zero.
    also, in addition, the same problem still holds for my inbox. so now when i send myself a test message, mail.app temporarily indicates that i have new mail, but then when i look in my inbox, nothing appears in mail.app. if i quit and go look at my inbox with webmail or entourage, i can see the new mail as expected.
    i looked in system.log, console.log, and mail.log and didn't see any log msgs that seemed to relate to whatever problem mail was having reading the headers/contents from the server.
    so i was trying to fix the problem by clearing out my inbox using webmail, but instead it appears that i have merely replicated the cause of the problem so that it now affects two folders instead of just one.
    does anyone know of a way to definitively clear out a mailbox altogether on the server? it would be reassuring to know that there was not some hidden corrupt msg sitting in my inbox messing things up.
    any other suggestions for how to get out of this state? thanks.
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    oh forgot to mention a couple other clear signs that mail.app is "confused" here:
    if i right click on a mailbox in the mailboxes window and select "get info..." (a very useful command hidden in an odd place), it shows me that right now my inbox has 3 messages and my temp mailbox has 50 messages. but when i look at either of these mailboxes normally, they show up with zero messages.
    if i send myself a test message and then tell mail.app to check for mail, the new message indicator comes on and my inbox temporarily shows up as having 3 new messages. then when i click on it, it shows up as empty and the new message indicator goes away again. if i repeat this it will say 4 new messages, etc.
    so it's acting like there's some kind of corrupt partial message at the top of my inbox that mail.app can't read and keeps choking on. i've had this happen before on other imap servers a while back. for those servers, i had normal login access, so i could go and edit or delete the offending file. in this case (apple's .mac server), i don't know how to do the equivalent.

  • No internet access after IOS7 update?

    Although it shows I am connected to the internet keep getting a message that unable to connect after IOS7 update. Any suggestions?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again.
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • TS3899 My mail account shows 1340 unread emails, yet the inbox is empty with no subfolders.

    My "Mail" app shows that I have 1340 unread emails in red.  When I go to the inbox, it says 1340 unread emails, yet there is none in the inbox.  I have checked my mail provider adn there is no emails there either. 

    First if you have multiple inboxes please make sure that you're looking at the all inboxes category. If this is correct then try removing the account and adding it back. If no joy
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update

    Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update?

    Did you always have the same problem or is it new? I always used to be able to get Facebook to work on wifi with no issues for months. I downloaded the new software update for Revolution, and all of a sudden it seems like they blocked the Facebook app somehow unless you're on 4G. It really sux because I can't get into my Zynga games either that are tied to FB! Wish someone at Verizon could be aware of this and fix the problem.
    Also, interestingly, when I try to log into the Facebook site with the browser I am directed to an error page. The browser works fine for every other site though. Really seems like there was some kind of block instated that will no longer let you use Facebook on a wifi connection. 

  • Mail icon shows (1) unread msg, but all msgs are read

    Yesterday, my mail icon showed one unread message. When I clicked on the app, there were no new messages, but now the (1) won't go away. How do I get the (1) to go away?
    null

    I also have the badge showing unread emails at a higher number than emails in my inbox. I think it may be because i deleted a number of emails from iPhone in box without opening them because i had already read them on my Mac. How can i reset. Home/sleep buttons don't do the job. Other remedies?
