Email icon there but no message
well the message icon to show i have an email is showing but there are no emails in my inbox
how do i get rid of the icon, as it's now doing my head in?
nice one
Hello,
The icon could mean you have a new message -- but not necessarily a new email (there are many message types). Try this:
Homescreen > Messages > > Search
Set as follows (may vary depending on your device OS level):
Search Type: Local
Name In: Any Address Field
Subject Message: <leave blank>
Include Encrypted Messages: Yes
Service: All Services
Folder: All Folders
Show: Unopened Only
Type: All
That should return to you all unopened messages from all message conduits.
Good luck and let us know!

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed. -
I get emails from Amazon but the message window is blank
JUst what i said above. I've gotten several emails from Amazon. It's always the same, the message window is always empty. Also When I'm emailing a buddy of mine and we are going back and forth using the same original email we always change color of the font with each reply. However after several exchanges I quit getting his newest response. The message comes back to me but doesn't have his last reply. To see it I have to go to Earthlink's Webmail to get the rest of the message.
Why is the lower message window blank with Amazon. All other emails appear where they should.
The second problem is that the replies do show until we reach about the 6 or 7th reply and then my end stops and I have to switch to Earthlink webmail to see it. My friend at the other end, using Outlook never has the problem, only at my end using Thunderbird.l -
can i fix this problem anyhow or will i lose allllll my bookmarks if i reinstall firefox..??
The first thing to do is to locate your profile folder/directory, that is easiest to do if firefox itself is open! Then copy the whole lot somewhere safe such as onto your windows desktop. This step is not entirely necessary but a belts and braces procedure, because presumably you have no other backups of your bookmarks and so it seems a prudent precautionary step.
For informatiom the bookmarks themselves are stored multiple times. The main and most important is a file called ''places.sqlite'' there will also be a folder of backups with the extension ''.json''.
Normally Firefox will retain bookmarks and other data when reinstalling, as long as you do NOT use the option to delete data (however that is worded). The location of the profile folder is likely to be something like
''C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''
Copy the whole lot from where it says Mozilla that should include the bookmark backups folder.
Now you can go ahead and do a clean reinstall of firefox. Noting that these files are in a totaly different file path from the profile. typically ''C:\Programs''
#download a new version of firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html <br> this will be firefox 5 not firefox 4 that is ok <br> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/contributors/707043?last=40456 (discussion)]
# save the file where you can find it such as on the desktop
#uninstall firefox using XP control panel option ( do NOT remove personal data)
#to ensure this is a clean install remove the firefox folder if it remains in your programs directory (do not confuse with the profile mentioned already)
# run the install file for firefox 5 that you have saved already
This should result in a clean reinstall of firefox 5, which should have your bookmarks and any other settings. In future remember to make backups of bookmarks. (The profile folders/files saved initially should not be required).
If you had backup bookmarks, simply creating another profile may have worked to fix this problem.

when i sign into icloud, a box appears asking me to verify the information in my email, but when i check my email inbox there is no email there. so how do i get onto icloud?
I need to deactive icloud to be able to repair my phone as it is damaged. however when signing into icloud it appears with a box asking me to verify the information in my email. When loging into my email inbox, there is no message there from icloud to verify. so how do I get onto icloud or how else can I deactivate it without using my device?Hi ryball89,
Happy Holidays! If you are having issues with the verification email for your iCloud/Apple ID, follow the steps below:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email
Not sure where that email was sent? Here are some tips to help you find it.
When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
Search for the email
We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
Make sure you're checking the correct email account
If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account.
If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
Resend the email
To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
Make sure that you're getting email
If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address.
Contact us
Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.
Cheers,

On my iPad2 the mail app opens and the page icons are there but no messages are shown. I know mail is being sent as I can access it in other ways plus the envelope icon on my homepage continues to show the number of messages received.
I have rebooted twice now but cannot think of anything else to do
Help pleaseGo to Settings>Mail the account and turn the account off and then back on
Next delete the account from the iPad and reenter the settings. -
i'm having no real troubles with my n97 which i got first thing this morning. Been playing with it pretty much constant, no real freezes and not had to turn it off or take out the battery at all, however there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me.
I set up the email for my hotmail account (had the same on my n96 for the past wee while) and when all emails are read, the icon telling me i still have an email is still there on the screen, i click it, and expand where it says 'new e-mail' and still it wont budge?
anyone else have this probem, or indeed a solution?Finally found the solution to this. (Well for Gmail atleast.)
The N97 defines your account settings automatically from the information you give it. However it sets certian parts of the incoming and outgoing connection settings incorrectly.(such as outgoing security and port number) Adjust your N97's settings to these to solve the issue:
Select 'Connection settings' > 'Incoming e-mail.'
Enter your address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') and password.
Select 'SSL/TLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '993.'
Select 'Back.'
Select 'Outgoing e-mail.'
Enter your email address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') and password.
Select 'StartTLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '587.'
Select 'Back' and change any other settings according to your preferences.
Send yourself a test email. When you open it, the new email icon should disappear.

How do I attach an emailed PDF to a SMS message
When I open the emailed attachment it gives me the option to print or email the file but not message it
that's because you can't.

When I send emails using my iPad, some recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white. Interestingly enough, I was a Windows user just a few months ago and I was on the receiving end of this same problem with someone who was sending emails from her iPhone. I don't believe it is happening every time but if it happens even once it's a problem. Any idea what's going on?
Oddly enough, having reported the problem it appears to have fixed itself. There may be some combination swipe gesture that triggers it is all I can think because I suddenly manged to zoom my display x3 by double tapping three fingers. Took me a while to sort this out but then when I got back home I could suddenly see all my emails again. Bizarre!

Mail used to be shown as a number on the email icon and the same with imessage and so on. These have all stopped working and i have to manually open the client to check if there is email (no, it is not set to manual update but to every 15 minutes). I guess another broken part of the wonderful IOS 8xx
What do you mean, "No it didn't?" I just meant that's how things are working (or not working) on my end. I've done some Googling, and it seems like this is an issue for lots of people, and it's not always consistent either.

Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but the iPhone messaging is using the phone number fine. It's only the iPad messaging that is messed up. Help, pls.
thanks!You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.
iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion: Link your phone number and Apple ...
The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again. -
There are text messages that I'm having trouble deleting. With some of my text messages, I can swipe to the left and delete ... or press and hold, get more and delete to trash can icon. But there are some where neither will work. Can't delete. Help!
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -
I bought myself a new MacBook Pro and migrated everything from a Time Capsule/Time Machine migration. My previous computer was slowly dying so I had backed it up although it was running Mavericks. I migrated everything to the new computer from a Time Machine backup - all my photos and files are there - but in iPhoto, the videos (taken with a camera as .MOV files which usually appear in iPhoto) are appearing as blank icons. When I click on them, I get the error message, "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)" and the video doesn't play or appear. The video does, however, appear when I click on "Reveal in Finder - Original File" - so the files are there - they just aren't being compatible with my iPhoto in Yosemite.
Any idea why?Do you still have access to the old system? If so drag the iPHtoo library on the new system to the desktop and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

So since I did the update on my phone, it rarely accepts picture messages. Usually the icon will show there is a message there (mine is up to 4 now), however it doesn't come through and I can't access it. I have tried a soft reset and simply restarting my phone, but it isn't working.
@chritina9,
Let's put an end to this mystery! Let find those picture messages.
Just so I'm clear, you do not receive picture messages at all? You see the message notification but when you check there is no message?
You mentioned this started after the software update. Try removing the SIM card and powering off the phone for a minute. Insert the SIM card and power the phone on. Test, by sending yourself a picture message and see if you receive it. Then have someone else send you a picture message and see if you receive it. Keep me posted.
