GMAIL Pop and Apple Mail 4.2: Doesn't Download all New Mail at Once

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue. I currently use GMAIL and am popping my mail onto my Mac Mail 4.2. Everything seems to be working fine except that when I download new mail, it downloads it in small chunks. It doesn't grab all the new mail all at once.
So for example: I check GMAIL web and I know I have 10 new mail messages.
When I click "Get Mail" in the Mail app, I get 3 new messages. I click on "Get Mail" again, and then it gets 4 new messages. And then I do it again, and then it gets the final 3 messages.
Is there a reason why it does this? Is this a GMAIL config or Apple mail config issue?
Thanks

First of all, confirm that you have set the Gmail account up as POP -- the default in Mail 4 when newly setting one up is IMAP, but POP setup can be accomplished. If the account was the result of earlier version, and merely now the result of an Upgrade Snow Leopard, then previous setup as POP should have carried over. Open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information to confirm Account Type.
Then via browser access to your Gmail POP/IMAP settings, confirm that the appropriate Enable selections have been made.

HT1390 It takes hours to download a movie either on Apple TV or Mac and most of the time doesn't download at all. To me it is a bad app and I think I'll stick to Netflix or Xfinity

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netfix uses adaptive streaming, if you have a slow connection it will reduce the quality of the video, iTunes ensures you get the quality you pay for.

Apple Mail is cc'ing me on all new sent messages

A couple of days ago, my wife's Apple Mail started cc'ing her on all new messages she sent. When looking at a copy of one of the cc'd messages, it looks like she actually forwarded it to herself, which she did not. We have checked her rules and she doesn't have any, save for the Apple RSS feed rules that were originally set up with Mail.
We would be most grateful for any assistance that anyone could provide with this enquiry.

Have you checked Mail Preferences > Composing > "Automatically cc myself"?

How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

How do I synch my iPhone5, MacBook Pro and Apple TV so that my iTunes downloads appear automatically on all three devices?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

Mail 5.0 doesn't Download Email from Hotmail

Hi,
Mail 5.0 Doesn't Download Email from Hotmail,
The other days he could,
What can i do?

In the preferences file, it already shows that my signature belongs to my mail account. In fact, everything is precisely how I had it setup before Lion upgraded the mail program. According to Mail - Preferences - Signatures, my signature should be automatically appended to my email, but the compose window doesn't allow me to select the signature. It only shows that there are no signatures and gives me an option to open the preferences file.
My point is that the preferences are set up correctly. Something else is broken here.

I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect how do I fix this?! I need help!

As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

I have downloaded the iOS6 software on my iPhone4 and now I can't delete/move or create new mail. The bar at the bottom has disappeared. Does anyone have any solutions

Hold Power and Home buttons until iPhone restarts. Ignore "Slide to Power off".

My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

This is my boilerplate respone for the "waiting apps" problem. Give these suggestions a try in order.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. 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.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

My iTouch doesn't download any new apps?

My iTouch 32GB, 5th Gen., 7.0.6., doesn't download any new apps... Every time I've tried to download a new free app/game, it asks for my Apple ID password, which is normal, but then it tells me "You've already downloaded this, it will be downloaded at no additional charge", and then the app's "price rectangle" turns into a cloud with an arrow pointing down. I tap it again and it asks for my Apple ID password again, I put my password once again and then it tells me "You've already downloaded this, it will be downloaded at no additional charge" again, but it doesn't download at all. When I try the same with a previously downloaded but deleted App, it downloads it without any issue... What can/should I do?..... Oh, and just another question real quick, my iTouch(same one) keeps deleting and "recovering" all of my notes, contacts, and calendar events at random, kinda scared it will delete my pictures. It only recovers them when I turn it off and and back on in a Wi-Fi /internet connected area, it is connected to iCloud and they(notes, calendar events, reminders, contacts) are "turned on" which kinda scares me. It's last Back Up was today at 3:49AM.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in.
- Try syncing them from your iTunes library
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

Hello,
I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox. All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud. I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
- Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
- Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again. It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again. This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders. Here are my two questions:
- How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
- Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
Probably your iCloud isn't working too.
