Has anyone experienced a sudden deletion of saved email messages?

We have recently experienced a deletion of a number of older e-mails. Does anyone know why this has happened.   Also, I had saved a number of PDF's in the library and now they are gone.  Any ideas what is going on.

Marian,
I'm afraid you have missed the point. People send binary files via email all the time: images, video and music clips - in fact any attachment is a binary file. Underlying protocols are implementation details, a mail client may choose any form of encoding/encryption to send an attachment. However, the internet standard requires that an attached file is delivered exactly as it was sent, mail clients/servers are not allowed to take upon themselves to "optimize" attachments without the end user knowledge and permission. It creates a dangerous precedent. In this particular case my photography student had no way of knowing that for whatever reason his particular setup would flatten the image and ruin his homework.
Also, none of the protocols: FTP, SMTP or HTTP is inherently binary or MIME encoded, it depends on the settings and implementation ( Check RFC's)
I am not asking for a work around, which is trivial. I am simply trying find how serious is the problem. This is not a normal behavior, I know for certain only about two cases when it happens. With such a rare occurrence it seem to be a bug rather than a feature. That is why Apple reaction to is so surprising.

    I have an iPhone 5 and email that is being deleted from trash is reappearing in trash a few minutes later.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  Any suggestions as to how to correct it?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

  • Has anyone experienced Labview 8.2 crashing when attempting wire a cluster filled with object and task references?

    I am getting a complete shutdown (crash) of Labview 8.2 when placing the wiring tool over a cluster that is filled with task and object references.  The crash occurs on all computers I have attempted it on and happens throughout all VIs in all classes that distribute multiple references throughout the VI using a cluster.  The entire project I am developing is programmed in GOOP.  Has anyone experienced anything like this?  I have provided a screen shot of the place where the crash is generated.  Let me know if anyone has any insights.

    There are several known crashes with LVClasses. One of the easiest
    fixes is to load your application into memory and then hit
    ctrl+shift+click on the Run arrow of your top-level VI. Then do
    File>>Save All. You might also try selecting that wire (with the
    selection tool -- use the Tools Palette to explicitly select a tool
    other than wiring) and deleting it and then rewiring those terminals.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

    Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
    I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
    Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly.  This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle.  I am not sure what causes it.  The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
    One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working".  It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop). 
    Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

    Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

  • Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

    has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image.  What's going on?  I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray!  Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

    In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
    Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.

  • Has anyone experienced, if so found a solution to having electrical shock, tingling, pain and burning in fingers hand and wrist from using the apple mac computers??

    Has anyone experienced electrical schock, tingling, burning and pain in the fingers, hand and wrist while using the apple mac desktop and the apple pro notebook??  If, so have you found a solution??  Never experienced this with any other computers and I have talked with my Doctor as well as a specialist and have had an EMG test for capatunel and nerve damage both test were negative

    I have experienced some mild tingling if I touch the aluminum case on my iMac at the same time that I touch the metal cases on my external hard drives.  They are all connected to the same surge suppressor and are on the same circuit, which is definitely properly grounded.  I can't explain it, and I just make sure not to touch them at the same time.
    I have never had any sensation touching just one of the devices alone.  Is that what you are experiencing?

  • Has anyone experienced a flicker issue on the lock screen?

    I recently bought a 32GB iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 installed and there's a flicker on the bottom lock screen. Right before it goes to the lockscreen there is a slight flicker. Has anyone experienced this. Or can anyone look to see if they have this problem. I went to bestbuy and I usually go to the phones section with my cousin anyways to see the latest well there were iPhones out to see and I looked and the bestbut one had the same thing but I want to see if anyone else had this or knows a solution to this. Should I downgrade or what?
    Thank you.

    I did forget to mention I had a iPhone in November and It didn't have this problem. Im thinking it's firmware update bug. But idk

  • A "shared' equipment icon identified as only f891cb000000 is appearing in my sidebar and the only info I can generate identifies it as a PC-- my attempts to generate more info results in nothing more than "fetching;" has anyone experienced similar?

    A "shared' equipment icon identified as only f891cb000000 is appearing in my sidebar and the only info I can generate identifies it as a PC-- my attempts to generate more info results in nothing more than "fetching;" has anyone experienced similar?

    Thanks to the gentlemen, Messrs. Galt & rack0 tack0, for their timely replies. I failed to mention in my original post that there are upwards of 15 Apple appliances in our house-- from Apple TV to 4 Apple iPhones to 4 iPads to 2 MacBook Pros to 2 iMacs to a 2TB Time Capsule-- we're all Apple, all the time. We don't own a PC and that was what was hanging me up. I did confirm, incidentally that we're IP6 (although, honestly, that technical jargon didn't mean a lot to me-- hey, I learned something [sorta]!). Anyway, after much digging, I've finally determined that what was/is being identified as a PC, is in fact a Canon MX860 Printer serving the "old" 21' iMac-- thankfully, our recently acquired Epson XP-410 serving the "new" 27' iMac is identified as such. And despite the time spent, a few valuable things occurred along the way, including a firmware update related to the Time Capsule... learn by doing, I guess. Thanks again.

  • HT1688 Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off?

    Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off and not in use after a period of time? Is so, what did you do to get it replaced?

    I haven't, but thanks for asking. 
    Bring your phone to Apple for replacement.  If you're in the warranty period, the replacement will be free; if not you will pay $149.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.
