Gmail stops working until i delete the offline cache folder. why?

Using the Apple Mail Client, my G-Mail account stops updating every couple weeks. I found through forums that if I delete the offline cache folder (it's hidden, library-mail-account) everything goes back to normal. Why is this happening and why hasn't it been fixed? I'd appreciate any insight!

Hi Eric,
Since it doesn't happen to gMail on several Macs & OSX versions from 10.4.5 to 10.7.4 & beyond, I suspect Disc corruption, or possibly RAM, have you checked either?

Hi,
Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't.

The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

''Gmail stopped working out of the blue.''
It would certainly help if you could be a little more specific about your problem.

I did have spotify premium on my phone, it then stopped working so I deleted it but can no longer re download it from app store, the 'open' symbol is not available only a cloud with a down arrow coming from it?

I did have spotify premium on my phone, it stopped working so I deleted it from my iphone 5, when I tried reinstalling the app the 'open' tab is no longer available instead there is a picture of a cloud with an arrow coming down from it. Can anyone suggest how I might reinstall the spotify app onto my iphone again?

The 'open' button only show after you've installed it on your phone, the cloud symbol imdicates that the app is only in the cloud - if you tap on the cloud icon it should download onto your phone.

Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated it

Iphoto has recently stopped working; it continually shows the loading circle. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it,updated it and reinstalled all my apps with the ‘applications install DVD’ however it still does not work. I have also tried holding the command and option key while pressing iphoto then when the pop up appears i press the checkboxes that have been suggested by other users however nothing happens. Any other suggestions would be great!

Ok the program itself is likely fine, it's the files it depends on that are not.
Step #1
1: Open your Users/Library/Preferences folder (if on Lion you need to use the Go in Finder)
2: Scroll down until you see a file called
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
3: Trash it and reboot, start iPhoto and see if it works.
Step #2
1: Go to your Users/Pictures/iPhoto Library and right (or hold option) click on it and "show package contents"
2: Inside will be a folder with your originals, copy them out.
3: Move and rename the iPhotoLibrary file outside of the Pictures folder.
4: Reboot and restart iPhoto, check inside the Pictures folder if iPhotoLibrary was created.
5: Download ClamXav and run a scan on the Original photo's and your whole machine too while your at it.
(it's if there is a picture in there from Windows it could contain a corruption caused by malware)
6: Reimport the originals back into iPhoto.
See if those two steps resolve your issue, if not I could suspect next a network issue? Like iPhoto is trying to contact the internet and can't or gets hung?
You can can create another user, use the Shared Drop box to transfer files and log into the other user and see if it's a issue with just your User account, and if so you might just want to transisition over and then one day delete the old user and it's problems.

Gmail stopped working

My gmail stopped working on my phone Thursday or Friday, and I didn't realize it until afer work. When I press the "Sync all" button under settings-wireless-accounts and sync and try to sync them. it doesn't work. I've restarted it a hundred times and have tried several things. Help!!

Hey,
Sorry to hear your Gmail stopped syncing with your device. I had this to happen with my Calendar, but fixed it. Here is what Google recommends:
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
Select Settings.
Select Applications, then Manage applications.
Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > button on your device.
Select Gmail Storage.
Note: If you don't see 'Gmail Storage,' press < Menu > again, then select Filter > All. On some devices, you won't see 'Gmail Storage.' It is fine to ignore this step if it doesn't apply.
Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Restart your device. Press and hold the < Power > or < End call > button, then select Power off. Press the < Power > or < End call > button to power on.
Hope this helps you out.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

External Speakers Randomly Stop Working until I "Test" or Disable/Enable

I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6 Notebook PC Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.
External speakers randomly stop working until I "test" or disable/enable them. Headphone/HDMI Audio Works.
Background
-Recently had to do a clean install of windows.
-Went to the HP Drivers Website and downloaded all of the latest drivers.
-I installed several other programs as well (Flash, Steam, Media Player, Browser)
-The problem started
Current Settings
-My deafult device is "Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC"
-Enhancements are disabled
-Bass and Treble are set to 4
-Format is set to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
-Allowing applications to take exclusive control of the device or not doesn't make a difference (but it's currently off)
Troubleshooting
-The audio works by plugging in headphones or using an HDMI device
-The audio comes back if I go to my sound settings and hit "Test", or if I disable and re-enable the device
Error Messages
-Youtube starts the video for 3 seconds, restarts and sputters a bit, and then says that there was an error
-My media player (MusicBee) gives me this message: "Unable to start playback (Error = BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST)"
That's everything I can think of. Any ideas?

Hi TheBigBoy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having a frustrating time with the sound to your external speakers. Have you tried connecting the speakers to another computer to see if is a hardware issue with the speakers? Do the regular speakers work? What is your product number as there are several models in the dv6 series?

Creative cloud sync - Stops working until update.

I am about the closest thing to an IT administrator we have at a small newspaper that has recently transitioned to Creative Cloud for our production and file sync. While much of our experience has been good we have had some weird problems that make it fairly hard to rely on the file syncing feature of CC. Primarily, recently adobe issued an update to Creative Cloud (Which they do a lot!) that required us to update before it would work again. The notification for this update came in as an icon blip in the menu bar on our mac systems and the system tray (which hides most icons) on the Windows system. As a result only one of our artist updated right away, and the rest ignored/didn't see it. The problem was file syncing stopped working until the clients updated. The end result was that people's artwork wasn't syncing and about a whole days worth of work was delayed until someone figured out that things were breaking and alerted me. So my complaint/suggestion is this:
If you issue an update:
Allow the old versions to keep working until the update is installed.
If the update is important enough to require updating, notify at least the CC Team Administrators in an obvious way (email is a great way, since you already don't mind emailing us about other stuff)
Also why you are at it if you could ad a "Sync Now" button that would be appreciated.
It is a little frustrating to be chewed out over something that you were not aware of over the weekend. Especially since CC is marketed as the backbone of the Adobe system. I know that many of our artist should have paid attention to the icons, but their job is to design their work and get on with it not to be system administrators. They can't all be verifying updates and checking if CC is working all the time. Especially since a traditional server set up wouldn't have this issue (though the cost of setting it up is obnoxious).
To the community: Have any of you experienced and issue like this before? If so how is the best way to solve this issue in the future. Do I just need to insist that everyone always checks for updates? The problem is compounded by the fact that I am part-time/freelance and thus can't babysit many of our artist.

You have to provide system info and other details like what program(s) you actually mean. There are no technical reasons that should affect the apps just by disconnecting your computer...

when i try to send email in my hotmail i get this message webkit2 web process.exe stopped working then it closes the window any ideas

Do you know how it is chaning the addresses? Can you compare what is send to what it is your address book?
In the meantime, make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Gmail stopped working...Now what?

I am not trying to get a quick answer without reading the forum. I am just trying to figure out what to do without going through trial and error multiple times. I got my iphone a little less than a week ago. I had gmail all set up and now it just stopped working. What is the best way to get it working again?
I already tried going through the set up process the exact same way I did on the initial set up. Going to "other" and proceeding from there. After reading some of the recent posts, do I now go to "Gmail" and follow the set up from there? At a loss as to what to do.
I'm windows XP if that matters.
Much thanks.

Nah, I use the phrase "sanity check" all the time when talking my customers through things. I meant it as a quick/easy think to check before going off into other troubleshooting directions.
Here's are two links regaring setup of Gmail accounts on your iPhone (from Google):
POP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=72454&topic=12810
IMAP -- http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814
I do not know if those will be of any benefit to you as you seem to have already been able to go through the setup process several times. But maybe they'll point out something else.
I can empathize with you, because just yesterday when I updated to 1.1.3 the first thing I noticed was my Gmail stopped working. (And Allan did try to help me out there too!)

ITunes stopped working! What is the solution?

I Tunes stopped working! This is the message that I receive when I try to open the iTunes. I deleted the software and downloaded again on my PC ( Windows 7).
Connecting the iPhone 4 does not open the iTuness automatically.

Ok. This is how I solved the issue. You need to uninstall all components of Itunes softare ( including Quick Time, Bonjoure, Apple Support, basically whatever is labelled as Apple Inc. in the control pnaels> Uninstall programm).
Reinstall the Itunes again. THis solved my problem. I hope it works for all of you.
