delete them from the server if you don't want hyour phone to download them. Do you really need 9000 emails?

When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

Mail is downloading 9000 old messages from March

Restarting and opening Mail this morning, strangely, Mail is downloading about 9000 (yes, nine thousand) old messages from last March. WHY?
I tried clicking on the X to cancel it, thinking it might just be a glitch, but then it started back up again.
Can you explain what's going on?
Thanks!

I have three accounts. I didn't know the answer to your first question, but looking in my Accounts under Preferences I see IMAP under the Gmail account and POP under the two comcast accounts.
It's too late to see whether it will still do it. They all finished downloading within a half hour or so of posting my question this morning.
Now Mail is working normally, I've just been going through and re-deleting thousands of old emails. Quite annoying.
Thanks for replying. I'd love to hear if you have any idea why this happened.

Is there any way to delete all cookies except those used on the home page?

Is there any setting in Firefox which would permit me the deletion of all cookies on exit EXCEPT those associated with with specific pages? For example, the iGoogle home page requires a cookie to be set which recognizes the session created in a prior access. If all cookies are deleted on closure of Firefox, the user is required to sign in to iGoogle every time to see their home page. Currently you can delete cookies on exit or accept cookies based on exception. I would like to delete all cookies except those from permitted sources. There is no setting for this that I can find.

You can let all cookies expire if you close Firefox and set an allow exception for domains that you want to keep the cookies from. Don't use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear cookies as that will remove all cookies including ones with an exception, but just let the others expire.
You can always remove cookies manually, e.g. via a click on the favicon and More Information and View Cookies.
You can see all permissions of the current domain here: Tools > Page Info > Permissions

I was playing with the Group Tabs/Panorama function and accidentally closed all of my tabs. Then I closed the browser window. Is there any way to restore all my tabs?

I'm using Firefox 6.

I have the same issue and didn't even close my browser. I closed a tab group, and they're ''gone''. I've always used ''warn me when closing multiple tabs''; why didn't it prevent this?
I dutifully updated to 6.0.1 (Win7 Pro 64bit SP1) today, and saw "''Tabs, meet groups''." I played briefly with a group and then clicked (x).
While exploring the UI, I had assumed I was manipulating a filter rather than the actual tabs. No reason to suspect this would close an entire window's worth. The "restore tab group" button suggested I'd merely ungrouped the tabs. No biggie; new feature playtime is over for now. The background blur was still present, so again no worry that my six or eight tabs were about to be annihilated.
The recently closed window list includes three pages from yesterday. Naturally the recently closed tabs ''from the other window'' aren't here.
My full history is sorted by visit date; why isn't each tab added to today's list after a restart? Now I'll search the entire history to ensure I'm not forgetting one. Tab groups are likely quite nifty, but for now I'm irritated with 'em.
'''Why didn't "''warn me when closing multiple tabs''" kick in''' to alert me?!
SUGGESTION:
'''''Warning:''' The 'tabs group' feature does not care if you've checked "warn me on closing multiple tabs." If you click the (x), you're hosed.''

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

Delete the account the account from the iPad. Go to the Comcast website and deal with all of those stored emails. Then reinstall the account on the iPad.

Hello codyfromseminole,
After reviewing your post, I believe your device is under Activaltion Lock. The following article will provide you with more information about the feature:
iCloud: Activation Lock
With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Sign out of iCloud on your device
Erase and reactivate your device
Important: Make sure to remember your Apple ID and password, and that your password is unique and secure—someone else shouldn’t be able to guess it. For more information, see the Apple Support article Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to give away or sell your device, be sure to erase your content and settings (in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When you erase your content, Find My iPhone and Activation Lock are also turned off.
If you no longer have the device, follow the instructions to remove a device you no longer have. For more information, see the Apple Support article What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

I have problems updating my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.6. Everything seems ok, it is downloading, installing and restarting but it is still ios 7.0.4 on the phone. No error messages, everything seems ok. What is wrong?

I've never seen this. Try updating via iTunes on your computer. Plug it in and see if iTunes says it needs updating.
It worked via iTunes
Thank you
