Fix for anyone having "push" E-Mail issues...

I finally found a fix for push E-Mail (hitting your phone automatically without you manually having to check.) It works like a charm and my push E-Mail has been working for two days now without one problem.
Turn off "push" in mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data
Under mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data go to the "advanced" button...make sure all accounts are set to "manual"...
reboot your phone...
Go back to mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data and turn on push again...then go to the "advanced" button and set all of your accounts back to "push".
Reboot the phone and you are all set!
This is one of many bugs with Apple/iPhone that after 3 years still have not been addressed. Thanks to Google that supplied the fix. Hope this helps others who still fight this battle...

Thanks for the information, I was having a difficult time getting Push to show up for my daughter's iTouch. I had no problem with my iPhone. I couldn't understand why the Push feature was missing from her iTouch.

Fix for anyone unable to use screen sharing

Hi guys
Not so much a question as a fix for anyone who has been unable to use screen sharing since yesterday.
Apple have started to turn off parts of MobileMe however one of the issues is if you still have MobileMe signed in on your Snow Leopard install Screen Sharing will stop working to any computer.
To get things working again go into System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sign Out.
It should now be fixed.
Hope this helps someone out.

@Jay Gamel specifically, but to anyone who is having problems with Screen Sharing and thinks that since they don't use MobileMe that it must be something else ..
I have never used MobileMe, not even the free trial.
When I saw this post, I looked at the Mobile Me pref pane and since I had never logged in, there was no way to sign out, so I kept looking elsewhere.
Hours later, I read this email again and saw how timely it was, so I went back and looked again.
Even though I had never signed in, my AppleID was pre-populated in the Member Name field.
As soon as I cleared out this field, Screen Sharing started working again.
So, not only should you make sure you are signed out, but you should wipe out any information in either the Member Name or Password field.
I also noticed that, even after I solved it, as I continued to look at the issue, at some point the Member Name re-populated and sharing stopped working until I cleared it out again.

HT4864 Is anyone having problems receiving mail on iCloud right now?

Is anyone having problems receiving mail on iCloud right now?

My daughter is having problems, has since last night. So, I guess she is one of you 1.1% who are affected. My husband & I are not having the problem. Since she is at work, I did some research on the problem for her and bumped into this forum. I did respond to the Report to Apple. She did the same several times. I hope everyone is reporting when that window option pops up so that Apple can see the real size of the problem....

Connection Doctor says everything is connected. i can send mail from the server's own web site ,just not from the Apple Mail program.
The problem did begin when I was travelling from one hotel to another.
Any ideas?

For users having problems with Mail functionality...

Hello! I have been having problems with Mail functionality as well, so, I took a few steps to see if I could solve the problem on my own.
My problems were:
Mail would freeze when sending mail, or, when I pressed quit, it would freeze.
If I toggled between inboxes too much it would freeze up.
Even after trying the many techniques others offered on this board, Mail still froze up. So.. here's what I did:
1.) Turn off the auto-retrieve mail function in the preferences/general menu. Set it to a manual check. Just check it yourself every once in awhile. It may not be as convenient, but it works, trust me.
2.) Under the fonts and colors menu, set all three fonts to the SAME font (mines Century Schoolbook, but anything works) and turn off fixed-width font. Sometimes mail has a tough time decoding and working with texts, and causes it to freeze.
3.) Clean our your main inbox! Place the emails that you want to keep, but don't need to be in your inbox in a new folder on your inbox bar (mines aptly named 'Saved Messages.' That way, when you open up Mail to your default account, it doesn't have 1,000+ messages to index. Also, try to keep the inboxes from having more than 100-200 messages per. It seems to frown on any more than that.
After trying these three easy, steps, restart mail and see if things run smoother. I have had no problems since these changes, and mail runs a ton better. Plus you don't have to worry about deleting your library/mail folder anymore. Let me know if things work out so I can see if my theory is a universally proven thing. Thanks and good luck!

Good question. I have worked very little with IMAP other than as a testing device, so, on a daily routine I cannot say how it would function. However, I can only expect that by having the option to download all emails for offline viewing selected, you are right in it being a lag creator. Another suggestion would be, if you are running a single-computer setup, to have the account delete emails from the server after recieving them on your computer. Thus, you reduce the risk of repeat downloads or unnecessary build-up on the server end. DO NOT select this option if you run multiple computer set ups on one AppleMail account system or you will cause some discrepancies and/or data loss from system to system. Or, if you have emails redirected from a seperate server to Mail (i.e. I redirect mail from my university email account into Mail so that I don't have to go to the web-mail site to check it--> just like Gmail or Yahoo etc etc) you won't be able to check them from the web-based email system if you have the system delete them. Ok that sounded confusing. Solution: have the system remove emails from the server after a week (or any period of time, just not immediately) so that, in the off-chance you need to use the online system, you will have access, and will give you a chance to check the emails on other systems without a threat of data corruption (by corruption i mean that frustrating feeling you get when you can't find that super important email that was in your inbox just 10 seconds ago on your desktop etc.)
I will see if I can learn anything more about IMAP Ernie. Its definitley the biggest problem source for Mail, POP and .Mac being simple and functional as long as you don't play with the settings too much. As far as the issue of Offline viewing goes, try turning it off and seeing how Mail functions.
BEFORE you turn it off, however, I recommend saving all of your emails in your inbox as a text file or something so, in case the server burps and has a brain flatuence, you don't lose anything. Been there, done that, thrown the books against the wall in a frustrated rage.
My only reserve about the Offline Viewing is whether or not Mail will, when you click "recieve mail," have to re-download the emails from the server each time. If so, then it may end up taking longer and lagging more. The issue here is obviously minimizing the amount of activity between Mail and the email server without jeapordizing information on the server or multiple Mail programs on the same account. When we can find that balance, I think Mail's potential will be realized. Keep the questions coming.

Is there a fix for the iTunes push notification problem with Dropbox on iPhone ios 7.0.4

After updating to IOS 7.0.4 iPhone (which I now regret), when I open the Dropbox App, I get a warning "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications". When I push OK, it pops up again, constantly, so I can't even close Dropbox. Is there a fix for this? I've uninstalled and re-instaled Dropbox and checked for updates, but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked websites online and also for the first time been able to download a 300MB+ file. I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers but it could be at least a temp fix for some. For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

Is there a permanent fix for the Acrobat Organizer database damaged issue?

I am constantly applying the fix for this. Is there a known reason this is happening so we are able to prevent it in the future? Adobe obviously knows about the issue, is a fix being worked on?

Hi amr1119,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with installing the latest version of iTunes. I understand that you have done a lot of research into this, but was curious if when you tried to launch the iTunes installer file did you right click and Run as Administrator? Try that and some of the other steps, if needed, in the article below.

For Anyone Having Problems Connecting Ipod to Itunes/My Computer

I have just spent all day trying to get my new Ipod Nano sync'd.
Just attempted unplugging my Printer and other devices so that only my mouse was left. I plugged my Ipod in and it worked. So basically I don't think it likes my printer being plugged in at the same time as it.
Worth a go for anyone pulling their hair out like I was.

"She also told me that if that didn't work, that I should get a PCI card with USB 2.0. They have a list of recommended brands (tend to work with iPods?) here, so I ran to a local store and picked up a SIIG brand card (this exact model), and it works great."
So, because of a fault of Apple, YOU had to buy more stuff for your computer to make THEIR product work? Id see about trying to get Apple to foot the bill of that. I would have told the tech support gal, to tell her superiors to stick their Nano where it wont play again. Why is Apple not aknowledging this problem? Ive been loyal to Ipods since the old shuffle hit the shelves. It served me well until this year when it fell outta my pocket and sat through a weekend of ice and snow on our driveway. I have half a mind to return this bugged up mess and ebay me a new (well old) shuffle. This is rediculas! At least I got some songs on it once, its not completely useless...yet... I am NOT buying new USB ports for my computer when every single USB device I have works just darn fine in the ones I have on my computer now.

Great Resource for anyone having problems rendering their projects

We see questions almost every day about rendering problems. Why does my file???
The best solution for most rendering problems is to use the Adobe Media Encoder. Joost van der Hoeven has created a new series on the AME for Adobe TV. I just watched them all. They are clear, concise and a great resource for anyone wanting to understand the rendering process and deliver high quality product to their viewers.

This does not solve the problems in the rendering.

Solution For Anyone Having Voicemail Issues

Not long after activating my iPhone 5 with Verizon, my visual voicemail stopped working. In addition, I was not even receiveing notifications when I had voicemail. The only way for me to check and/or listen to voicemail was to do it the old fashioned way by dialing *86.
Verizon technical support had me check and recheck every setting on the phone but noting fixed the issue. I was told that one of the possible causes could be a specific app. "Onavo Extend". It's an app that is supposed to "stretch" your data plan and also lets you track how much data each specifc app uses.
After deleting the app, I was still unable to access visual voicemail. After a little more playing around, I found that deleting the app does not remove the profile that it installed on the phone. You need to manually remove the profile (Under Settings / General / Profiles). After removing the profile I reset the phone (Hold the power and home button at the same time until the phone shuts off) and everything worked fine.....my visual voicemail was back.
You may need to remove the profile more than once. For some reason after removing the profile the first time and restarting the phone, he profile reappeared.
Hope this helps!

First time I read about this - I've been having the VVM issues since upgrading to iPhone 5. I like Onavo to help limit my data, so for now I'm downloaded the YouMail app )which may even be working better than native vvm?).

Yahoo's Phone Number for Push E-mail Issues

Someone at Apple Tech Support is helping me speak to Yahoo about Push not working. We are on hold. He did get me their number, 866-562-7219.
Maybe if you call them with your mail push issues, they will fix the problem.

Did I say my question has been answered? Well it has. Apple has good tech support on the phone.

Anybody have an actual fix for the annoying Safari crashing/closing issue?

Have the problem on both my iPad 1 and 3. Definetly starte with the latest IOS update. Have tried everything people say to try - including Apple. Does anybody know if Apple has an actual fix out for this issue? I can't even browse on the iPad which pretty much makes it a useless device. Guess I'm starting to look forward to the Windows tablets coming out this fall. I bet they'll be able to surf the web. And that is all I want.

I've started having this issue too on my iPad 2. I checked through the diagnostics & usage tab on System Settings (for the 25 seconds it remained open) and found a slew of LowMemory-[INSERT DATE TIME].plist in there.
It seems the iPad runs out of memory and bombs what ever application it wants. This has only started in the past 24 hours with me which coincides with me finally updating to iOS 5.1.1
I have done a full reset, reinstall and even a complete reformat / restore back to factory settings and have had no joy.
For my sins I'm going to the "Genius" bar on Thursday to see what can be done, but I suspect its going to be a hiding to nothing. I'll report back either here or in the thread I'm going to create on the off chance someone from Apple actually has an answer / checks this place out.

Can anyone help me understand "mail" issue?

I can send and receive emails using "Mail" on my macbook pro (4.1, 2.5 Ghz) when using my home internet connection.
When away from home I can only receive emails, not send them.
I have checked this with my email host who says the issue must be with my isp wherever I happen to be when away from home.
However, that cannot be true since I can send emails using that isp on my iphone when away from home.
What is wrong? Is it something to do with my laptop? Has anyone had this experience and solved it?
I would be very grateful for any help.
Johan

Thank you sig,
it seems I can though, because it works from my iphone using a different isp. Ought to be the same on the laptop?

For anyone with newer imac fan issues.

I posted about a week ago asking for advice on my fan issue.
I was getting istat readings of 2500 - 3000 - 3500 (max has been 3850) rpms from nothing more than being on the internet. The computer is 2 months old and prior to having the computer worked on for an unrelated issue I had never once heard the fans kick on.
But now my computer sounds like an airplane trying to take off - all the time.
So, with another visit to the apple store, support-line calls and a visit to an outside apple authorized service provider - I am here to tell anyone in the same boat, that having your fans blow LOUDLY, and ALL the time is perfectly "within spec."
I'm using it right now. Only safari is open and it sounds like monsoon season with a nice consistent rpm of 2700.
I am certainly frustrated but did want to share this follow up with anyone that's discouraged with their fans since I know when I first ran into the issue I scoured the forums for info.
Are they loud - you betcha!
Are they annoying - **** right!
Do they interfere with music and video - oh boy do they!
Does it sound like they computer is deathly ill - absolutely!
Is it all 'within spec' - yes, sadly it is.
I don't see anything else I can do at this point.

@den.thed
I actually have that app. already. Its where Ive been getting all my crazy fan readings from.
The temp sensors I havent paid attention to though - which are the temp. sensors and what is abnormal?
Last time I took the computer into the mac genius(the 3rd time) - they just told me everything was fine and didnt even look at it! Then I was told by Apple Support to go to an outside service provider who also said there wasnt a problem. I had 50 screenshots of the fan at 3000+ speeds and they didnt seem concerned.
Overall I guess what im getting at is - even if it appears that there's a problem I dont even know what I can say to these people anymore!!! No matter what I say, Im told that the computer is fine. Its by far the most frustrating product/purchase problem Ive ever dealt with.
thanks for help so far though.
Anyone know how much I can recoup by parting the thing out?
