Can you choose which emails are downloaded?

I had a lot of fun tonight at launch of iPhone in the UK at local Apple Store.
Had used the iPhone in US months ago - it's better than I remembered!
But I'm puzzled about apparent lack of one feature which is important for mail management. have I missed it or is it really absent? The 'genius' didn't seem to want to acknowledge its importance.
When I'm on the road I habitually pick up email on a Samsung phone. Not as slick as iPhone but for POP accounts the email client downloads email headers, then lets me select whether I want to download the body of the email.
For a cellphone this is very sensible. the header shows email size. if someone has sent me a 2MB picture say, I don't want to spend ages downloading it over a slow mobile connection.
But as far as I can tell the iPhone downloads entire emails from a selected POP account. Not too bad if you have wi-fi access, but very inconvenient when you don't even over EDGE.
How does iPhone handle this?
The other useful mail management on my current phone is ability to delete messages from either phone pnly or phone and server (at next connection). If I'm away for a few days I don't come back and have to download/scan scores of emails I've already deleted using the phone, but I can download emails I want to archive on my main machine. Again can iPhone do this i.e. delete selected emails from the server on a regular POP account?
I will probably get the iPhone even if its email client can't do this, but would be nice to know if it's possible.
Thanks in advance for advice

When you check for email, emails waiting in the queue are downloaded with the subject and the first 3 lines visible to read. You can adjust the number of visible lines and total number of emails to get (25 minimum is the default).
If you then decide to read one of those emails, it will then access your email account again and THEN download the rest, including attachments. You can abort the download at any time if too large.
If you deleting email from your iPhone doesn't necessarily delete it from the server. This will be based on your settings. For example, I choose to leave my emails on the server even though I have deleted them from my iPhone because I want the full email downloaded to my computer when I get back into the office.
Hope that helps!

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

Hi wjosten,
thank you for the help. I should have said I had a iphone 3. A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button. Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD. I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens. Am I making sense?

How does one do updates when your service provider is s-l-o-w?? According to the counter, our computer needs almost 20 hrs. of updates, is there a way to pick and choose which ones are downloaded?

We have a "Rocket Hub" and our download times vary greatly. My husband's computer, Snow Leopard OS, shows he has about 20 hrs. of updates to download. Is there a way to pick and choose so we can catch up?

Nope, because files sizes, machines, software installed are different and you can't control what needs to be installed first before others work.
Apple is all Internet, you should see Lion users, they can't reinstall their OS at all without a Internet connection. (or pay $69 for the Lion USB key) and then there still the updates to deal with.
So take a ride, to a Apple Store early in the morning before their network gets overloaded (what a way to get you in the door and buy more junk uh?) fully update to 10.6.8.
Good thing about Snow Leopard, not much more in large updates coming for that verision, in fact they will stop completely come next spring or so when 10.8 is released.
Unless you live in a wealthy area with broadband, your a nobody in Apple's viewpoint.
You could get a 3G laptop connect card, hopefully that will give you enough to download your updates but they cost a fortune.
If I could just provide you with update disk I would, but I can't, machines are different.
Call Apple and ask for a update disk, perhaps they have a solution
Once you do get all your updates, Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable duplicate.
Donationware too.

With different dual monitors can you choose which image to print

I have dual monitors which I calibrate but they still look different. I have lightroom on the main screen with a full loupe view on monitor 2, I would like to print this image (on monitor 2 ) as its easier to see the changes during develop because its bigger. Is this possible or does lightroom only print the image either on the main screen or in the main lightroom module

You are only previewing through the monitor profile. It does nothing else in the chain to Print. There's no conversion done between monitor profiles and printer profile, just Lightroom's internal working profile and the printer profile. Photoshop converts between the working profile and the printer profile, again the monitor profile is only applied to what you see on the screen. The actual process of colour matching can never be 100% exact, but can get close under ideal viewing conditions. The screen emits light, whereas the print must be lit, and takes on the colour of the light in the environment. High end printers will viewing stations with with which to determine print accuracy.. a luxury most of us won't.
In more simpler terms, make the print. Compare it to the monitors under good daylight and gauge from there which is closest to the print.

How can you choose which audio output device to use?

I currently have my system set up to have two different active audio output playback devices, Speakers and Headphones. By default, applications play on the default audio output device, which is set to Speakers on my computer. However, I am wanting to play iTunes on my Headphones output while all other applications are running on the default Speakers output. In Windows Media Player, there is a dropdown to select which output device the application streams to. Is there a way to make iTunes do this, either in the Preferences menu, by using a plugin, or installing a third-party application that overrides which output applications use?

Under Utility you will find the Configurazione MIDI Audio.app The name is in italian on my Mac but you should find it in your system language. The icon is a Piano Keyboard.

Can I filter which emails are received?

I'm only interested in getting email from a small group of people on my iPhone. IS there a best way of doing that?
When I'm at home I'm fine checking all the other email I get daily. But on the smaller screen a lot of email can be harder to navigate and not all is needed while on the go.
Do I need to create a special email account to access from my iPhone? Then I'd have to create rules to forward only the filtered emails I want to receive to the special account?
Thanks,
DAN

I already tried that. I set the table to filter out and
display only the records that match the landlord ID to the session
variable(which I named 'Landlord_ID' not 'MM_username ' like I said
earlier). When I tried to simply insert the session variable into
the page just to see what data would show up, the result is just a
blank space, so the session variable itself apparently has no data
value to echo in the PHP form.
Because of that, I have no idea how to tell dreamweaver to
filter based on the Landlord_ID, even though I CAN echo the
landlord ID variable in the recordset, I can't figure out how to
put that runtime value in the filter.

Can you determine which songs are not authorized . . .

without having to try and play every song?
I've got about 2600 songs and just restored my iPod and there are 10 that did not transfer. It's only a small percentage but it would be nice to know which ones did not transfer.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions, Harsell.
I don't know a way to, but luckily, you've only got 10 that didn't transfer. If you had a hundred then playing each one individually until you came across the "broken" ones might be a pain.

Can you choose which folder an app gets installed to?

When I install a new app it just goes to the main page then I have move it to a certain folder. Is there a way to have it ask where you want to install it instead of having to organize it after the fact?

The iOS doesn't support where to designate which screen you want an app installed to BUT, connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes. Select Apps in the menu.
You can drag and drop apps from one screen to the other or move screens around then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
You can provide feedback to Apple. Never know, they might come up with a way to do that.

How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how. I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons. I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
thanks!

me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.
and I am using CS3

HT1386 Can you choose which apps you want to sync to a device?

I am trying to sync multiple ipads with one laptop and I don't want to copy certain apps from one to the other. Currently when I sync one then they both have the same content and we have to delete the ones we don't want. I would like to know if I can create a playlist or a folder to sync to then we only get the content we want?
Thanks and Merry Christmas

De-select the apps you don't want to sync in iTunes.

Can you control which devices are on network

Is there an application to control and monitor the Airport Extreme Base Station Network?
I'd like to be able to shut down access to, for example, my kids' devices at night without shutting down the whole network.

Timed Access in AirPort Utility will allow you to control individual devices and the times that the device is allowed to connect to the wireless network.
For example, you could setup Junior's iPad to be allowed to connect to the network Weekdays between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Junior would not be able to connect to the network at any other times than those listed.
Another device could be setup to have access to the network Weekdays between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM, and so forth.
Devices that do not have a specific rule set up for them are allowed to connect to the network at any time.
