Email says "Copying to Outbox" for hours.

I am trying to send an email with a compressed .zip 15gb exported Final Cut Pro X movie to an address, but when I click send it closes the window like normal, but it doesn't appear in the sent box. I click Window > Activity and see the process Copying to Outbox. I leave it on and the process takes hours and it still hasn't sent or appeared in the outbox/sentbox. Help me! I need to get this video sent.

The problem is probably that your file is much larger than it is possilbe to send by most email accounts.
Most email accounts limit file size to around 4 or 5 megabytes.
Suggest you find someone like Adrive or another service that will allow you to upload your large file to their servers for transmission to the eventual recipient.

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and now I cannot open the iTunes store. It just sits there and says it's loading for hours, but does nothing.

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, and now the iTunes store won't open. It just sits there and says 'accessing iTunes store for hours, but does nothing.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Email I was trying to forward was stuck in outbox for hours. Unable to stop it attepmting to send or delete it.

After having over a month of trouble-free use with my new iphone 4 on Verizon, I had a problem while traveling over the weekend that I could not figure out.
I was in a strong signal area with good 3G coverage and went to forward an email that was received shortly before on my Charter account. ( a pop 3 account). The iphone went to send/forward the email and it would never leave the outbox. The progress bar on the bottom said "sending" and the circular activity indicator just kept spinning. Once in the screen showing the outbox the "edit" button in the upper right hand corner was grayed-out. I could not touch on the email to try to highlight it.
So I tried to force-quit the email app and then restart it-same thing. I tried to shut the phone off for a few minutes and restart it-same thing. I held the home button down for several seconds while in the outbox-all I got was voice control. I put the phone in airplane mode for a half hour and then back to normal operation-same problem.
I then decided to try to send another email with the same account, hoping it would purge the stuck email from the outbox- the new email sent properly and the older one that I had been trying to forward was still stuck.
So after about 6 hours I went back inot the outbox for the 20th time and the email was still stuck, still trying to send, but this time the "edit" button was NOT grayed-out. I was then able to hit "edit", select the stuck email from the outbox, and delete it. It never got forwarded.
Over the course of those 6 hours I traveled to another major city (by car) that also had great signal strength and 3G coverage and the phone was still unable to forward that email (it was stuck trying to send)
Please help! I love my new iphone, but that really freaked me out.

What happends when you press the Home button? If nothing, try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Smash Bros Preorder Bundle Not Available In Spite of Email Saying it Was Ready for Pick Up

I had preordered ({removed per Forum Guidelines}) the Wii U Smash Bros Bundle (SKU: 7493005) on 8/4/14 at bestbuy.com utilized the pick up in store option (may be the last time I do that). When I went to the Middletown (461), NY store to pick it up yesterday before 3pm. I did not anticipate any issues since I received an email saying that my order was ready for pick up and have never had a problem when I have gotten such an email.
When I arrived at the store, I had to wait for someone to finish with another customer. The associate attempted to find my game, but it was not at the customer service desk. She had another employee look elsewhere, but I had to leave. The and the game was not found. I had to leave to pick up my daughter from school, so she took my name and number down. About 10 minutes later I got a call telling me that the store oversold its preorders and there was a system error. I was told that it would be in sometime in the next week.
After getting my daughter, I went back to the store because I could not understand how this happened. This time, I was helped by Brittany. The game was still not there and I was given the same explanation. I asked how preorders were filled because I had preordered in August and it just seems strange that I would get an email telling me that the product was there when it was not. Based upon what others have written that they were told, it seems that online preorders should have been satisified first since they are paid in full.
Brittany was quite helpful and called the Monroe, NY (1394) store to see if they had a physical copy since the computer system said they did. Whoever she spoke with in Monroe confirmed that they had a physical copy and Brittany asked that it be held at the in store pick up desk. She then transferred the store pick up over and I drove to Monroe with my family in tow.
When I got to Monroe, I had not gotten an email confirming that the pick up was ready, but I went to the desk anyway to explain the situation. Victor looked around and did not see it. A shift leader/manager came over to assist, but there was no physical copy. I was understandably upset. The shift leader/manager called around to other stores to locate a physical, but to no avail.
After waiting nearly 30 minutes, I came up with another "solution" because my family was on the brink of a meltdown give that it was after 5:00 pm. So, I got a copy of the game and the gamecube controller, which are 2 of the 3 parts of the bundle that I ordered. The only missing component was the controller adapter ($19.99), but since that was available in stock online at Best Buy.com I figured that I would get that in a couple of days.
So, being that I am in the Gamers Club Unlocked, I get 20% off new games. The Bundle is $99.99, so I got it for $79.99 before tax. But if I buy the components parts, I would only get a discount on the game and not the controller and adapter because the discount does not apply to hardware. The shift leader/manager agreed to give me the appropriate discounts so that my total cost when I purchase the $19.99 adapter would not exceed $79.99 pretax. So, while I was made "whole," I really wasn't because I did not have the entire bundle and I wasted at least two hours of my life.
So, after leaving the store I promptly place on order ({removed per Forum Guidelines}) for the adapter on my smartphone. It says that it should ship so that I would get it by 11/26. No problem right? Wrong, because I get a subsequent email saying that it is backordered and that I can expect it sometime between 12/5 and 12/17.
So, I would like some type of compensation for my trouble. I would be happy with a $25 gift card. I should not have to deal with this type of issue, especially when I place a preorder so far in advance and spend several thousand dollars a year in your store.
1. How can you oversell a preorder? That is like overselling movie theater tickets. It is an unacceptable business practice.
2. How can an employee identify an item in stock in another store, confirm its existence, and then it not be there? Thankfully, I only had to drive 20 minutes back and forth, but it was 40 minutes that I did not have to drive.
The only positive in the whole thing was that the shift leader/manager in Monroe was so understanding. But even there, I had to come up with that idea.
I would appreciate a response and at least the above compensation.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Darrell {removed per Forum Guidelines}

Hello darrell521,
I can’t thank you enough for the amount of detail you’ve provided in your post! Our in-store pickup process should be very streamlined for our customers who pre-order games at Best Buy and what you’ve described with your Super Smash Bros pre-order is quite the opposite. I sincerely apologize for the effort you had to put into redeeming the items needed to recreate the bundle, especially since you should have simply been provided your original copy upon your first arrival to our store!
In reviewing your BestBuy.com order for the adapter, I see that it actually did ship and I believe you’ve already received it! I’m happy to know that it’s very possible you’ve been able to play Super Smash Bros the way you originally intended. With that, I’m going to send you a private message with further information in regards to your purchases. Keep an eye on your inbox, which is located to the top right of your screen when logged into the forums.
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us on the forums and you’ll be hearing from me soon.

Outgoing emails end up in outbox for 3 weeks

Purchased 2 ipad minis for son and I and his hospital stay. Three weeks ago all emails end up in outbox. One works fine, again outgoing emails just sit. Thoroughly disgusted. Dot .

Open the Console application in Applications/Utilities. When you send an email it is noted there. Monitor the emails you send and when one fails as you described, check the log and see if the is an error message. If so, copy and paste (not a screen shot) the error message in a reply.
This will be a pain, but given the random nature of the problem, it may be the only way to tell unless someone else knows how to solve this.

TS3899 How to fix Sent emails getting stuck in Outbox for a period of time before being sent?

How do you fix Sent emails getting s tuck in Outbox for a period of time before they actually send?
The error message says that my "sender address is rejected by the server", but it eventually does send.

Have you tried a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

TS3276 My e-mails are just sitting in my outbox for hours and hours! Have checked connections and all fine.

This has just started happening every now and then, e-mails I try to send just sit in my Mac outbox - it is making working from home extremely taxing! I can recieve e-mails fine?

Hi ooze, I can tell you I am over Mavericks mail. I have had problems almost daily with it, from will not send, will not retrieve at all, will not retrieve from some mail servers. Today my iMac would could not retrieve from hotmail, but would send OK. I eventually cranked up the macpro and immediately mail downloaded. It is also saving mutiple drafts of the same email and doesn't remove draft for sometime after it's sent.
If this ever settles down I doubt I will upgrade again, it's too painful. The strange thing is some ppl have no problems at all.

Email going in to outbox for one address

Hello,
I have an email account set up on my English iPhone 5, a French iPhone 5 and a Windows 7 laptop. E-Mails send fine from all devices and are received by all devices. However there is one Hotmail address that I can not send to on my French phone. I can send to this email from my English phone and laptop and all the setting seem to be the same on all devices. The phone gives back an error "The message was rejected by the server" and the message is placed into my out box. Any ideas?

Mitch
The problem is probably that your file is much larger than it is possilbe to send by most email accounts.
Most email accounts limit file size to around 4 or 5 megabytes.

I just checked my emails to look at iTunes emails then i noticed some purchases i did not authorize. i found 8 emails saying i purchased currency for an app i play and i added up the receipts to a total of over $240. how can i get my money back?

i am frustrated and mad that someone made purchases using my itunes account and somehow my credit card was added to my account as well. i didn't even add it myself. what can i do to get my money back thats all i want.

They show on your account's purchase history e.g. they aren't phishing emails ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
Have you also removed your credit card from your account (does anybody else have access to your card and might have added it ?) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918 ?
If they show there and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made them, then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Podcasts on iPhone just says "Preparing to download" for hours

It never seems to get round to actually downloading! What's the holdup?

Go to iTunes and look at the downloads. The current download may be hung up preventing anything else from being downloaded. If so try to delete the stalled download.

I got an email saying my iPhone was eligible for an unlock and another email saying the request was denied?

I don't know what is going on. I recieved an email saying I'm eligible yesterday and to wait 24 hours for everything to complete and not even 5 minutes afterwards I got another email saying my request was denied.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so what did you do to resolve this?
Anyone else have an idea on what happened or what I could do?

You should contact the carrier that's sending you these emails and ask them what's going on.

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

I have an ipad air and I'm trying to set up a telus email on it but it won't work. I keep getting a message saying username or password for IMAP is incorrect...please help!

This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings
