  • Language preference won't revert back on e-mails and texts

    I changed my language preference to French under settings/general/language&region, to test a French app and later reverted back to English. This somehow has affected my e-mails and texts and now my e-mails and texts language (spell check) is french. I've verified the language setting and it is English . . .Apple support wants to charge me $35.00 for the priviledge of telling them they have defects in their product.
    Any help here would be appreciated.

    spellcheck is determined by the keyboard setting (not language).  Tap the globe key and switch to English.  Or go to settings/general/keyboard/keyboards and delete the French keyboard which was probably added when you played with the French language preference.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications)

    E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications) are too low and since they all sound the same I never know if I have a new E-mail or a New Text Message. How can I set up different sounds for E-mails and Text Messages?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    This question was solved.

    if you go to pimpmypre.com, you can change the ringtone for your text/email.  unfortunately, you cannot change them individually for text and email, but it expands your options from the pre default ringtone.
    it's a small step, but not the solution.

  • After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.  Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

    After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
    Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
    Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
    THANKS

    1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
    2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
    3.     Select "See All Options"
    4.      Select "Phone" menu
    Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
    If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
    Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

  • I have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer.

    i have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer. I restore factory to days a go in my iphone 4s and must activate. what im must doing? in my phone is find my phone is on

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

    Ever since upgrading to Yosemite PDF's are not displaying correctly. Every time i generate a PDF of a sales quote it seems to lose a lot of information.
    But the strange thing is.....
    Preview and Mail both show PDF with missing text.
    When I open using "Quick Look Attachment" within Mail or Adobe Acrobat it looks perfect.
    When emailed, recipients (mostly Windows users) seem to have no problem opening it and seeing all text.
    So far seen that issue is only in Preview and Mail
    Only has happened since upgrading to Yosemite
    PDF is created using web based ZOHO CRM to build quotes.
    See image below to see the difference in what Mail and Preview sees compared with how other apps open the same PDF.
    NOTE: sensitive info has been purposely blurred on image.

    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one. 
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Mail and contacts not showing in application switcher

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, mail and contacts are not showing in the application switcher. 
    So,  I have to re-open mail and contacts if I switch screens - it is absolutely infuriating because I constantly switch screens when I work.
    Does anyone else have the same issue?    My mail and contacts are on exchange server,  which may have something to do with it?   

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • TS3276 Spell checker on Mail and Pages not working.

    I have lost the capacity to check spelling on all Apple programs. I deleted Mac Keeper as I read this had caused the problem, but still no spell checker. Can anyone assist?

    Hey Vic,
    If the problem was indeed with MacKeeper, then you might need to reinstall your OS. Assuming you've got a good backup, it should be pretty easy to do—either redownload the software from the Mac App Store and follow the instructions (if you upgraded) or boot into Recovery Mode and do it from there.
    If I were you, I'd probably do a little sleuthing first. If you go into System Preferences> Language & Text, does everything seem to be configured properly? Is English the top language under the "Language" tab? Under the "Text" tab, is "Spelling" toggled to "Automatic by Language"? If you misspell a word in Mail and press Command-; (the shortcut for Edit> Spelling and Grammar> Check Document Now), does anything happen?
    If everything seems OK, I'd probably just reinstall.

  • Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

    I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone.  Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
    This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
    Is there a fix for this.
    Thank you.

    For Gmail it is: open Gmail > menu > settings > your gmail address > notifications check box is unchecked.
    There are some additional notification options for labels too.

  • Why are Apple Mail and Addressbook not listed?

    In Support, neither Apple Mail nor Addressbook are listed on OS apps. And if you go to Feedback > Product Feedback, there are 31 apps listed, but Apple Mail and Addressbook are not listed there either. Mac OS X is, so you need to use that for these apps.
    But I think the lack of listing is not so bad, but is indicative that Apple doesn't seem to embrace these apps the way it does it's other OSX built in apps. They are basically good apps. I use them as my default apps along with iCal in order to always be in sync with the latest OSX release/update. I used to use 3rd party PIM apps but then had to always wait until they released their update to be in sync with the latest Apple OS. After awhile I realized the smarter approach was to use Apple's software as much as possible since they will be designed to work with the latest OS upon the release of the latest OS.
    But the built in apps: iCal, Addressbook and Apple Mail, while sufficient, are not full featured robust apps like their 3rd party competitors. I have to assume some this is financial since they are included in the OS where as 3rd party apps cost $40 and up, plus upgrade costs after a certain cycle lifespan.
    Personally, I never want to use a calendar, contact manager or email 3rd party clent again so that I am fully in the Apple family with hardware and software all made to work together.
    If the reason these type apps are not more robust is because Steven didn't feel we needed more, or because there are only so much design and programmng resources Apple can apply to essentially "free" apps, I would welcome a paid for "Pro" version of these apps to pay for more features.
    Example: while iCal and Addressbook sync with all your devices, Apple Mail doesn't. Now that I have a new 2nd computer (MBP), I would REALLY love it if all my folders on the left column were identical on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    There are other feature requests I would make, and bet you would too.
    I hope this is helpful to all and to Apple in terms of making their indigenous apps more robust for us, listing them in the OSX apps list in Support and Feedback and embrace them as signature Apple apps fully supported, developed and proud of.
    Just my opinion.
    Steven

    Example: while iCal and Addressbook sync with all your devices, Apple Mail doesn't. Now that I have a new 2nd computer (MBP), I would REALLY love it if all my folders on the left column were identical on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    My Mail syncs, I don't know why yours doesn't. All the folders on the left of my Mail App are identical on all of my Macs and my iPhone.
    In Support, neither Apple Mail nor Addressbook are listed on OS apps.
    Granted, Contacts (No longer AddressBook) is not listed.

  • Deleted notes from g mail and all notes disappeared.How do I retrieve.

    I was purging my g mail on my i pad and removed notes. I don't want the notes in g mail - only in notes.
    Before I knew it, my notes were completely gone. So I turned wi fi off on ipad and ipod so that i could save the notes in
    i pod and perhaps save all. However, playing around with settings, I turned notes off on i pod - wifi off - and notes disappeared.
    No clue what I did and how to undo it. I keep thinking if I can retrieve notes on ipod I can rewrite and synch to ipad - then- voila! all problems will be solved. Any suggestions?

    Try restoring from backup. If you do that by USB, make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise, when yo connect, the previous backup will be overwritten by the current contents of the iPod andwhich does not include the Notes.
    To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...  syncing".

  • Mail and iPhoto not working well with Mountain Lion..

    Is it true that Mountain Lion has been a big disappointment?
    I am helping a friend with his computer and what it is doing is NOT normal. He has Mountain Lion, I have read not very nice reviews. Mail and iPhoto are not comunicating properly; 'sleep mode' takes forever  and other small bugs that I am not used to having with a Mac. Any advice? Thanks!

    Any advice?
    Sure. Here's some advice. If you have a question ask it. Give detail. Explain what the problem or issue actually is. Don't editorialise, just ask the question.

  • Mail unable to import and upgrade mail and will not open.

    I have had a not so smooth uprade to Mountain Lion. I did a clean install because the first time indicated I had a hard drive issue. I used time machine to restore documents etc. This worked fairly well  However  my wife's account has problems with Mail. When I launch mail it tries to import/upgrade the mail from the previous system My wife uses gmail. However after going through the process of importing the mail I get an error message that the Upgrade failed because of a corrupt index, and to restart mail and it will fix the file. Unfortunately this pattern just repeats and I am unable to actually get mail to open. Is there a way to bypass this process?

    I solved my problem, well enough for me. I opened the hidden user library folder using the method of clicking on the finder and typing command-shift G then typing ~/Library  which opens the user library.aI then trashed Mail from the library. When I restarted Mail it guided me through the steps of setting up the account. Yeah!
