Help please - iPhone email badge won't update
There are many posts, but no solutions. The small, red circle badge on my iPhone that displays the number of unread emails REMAINS despite having read ALL emails on my Mac. The badge ALWAYS indicates that there are several unread emails until I open my iPhone email app, and sit there passively until the app updates itself and removes the badge.
My email account is iCloud (@icloud.com, @mac.com) I have mail on my iPhone set to sync via iCloud, I have "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" "Fetch New Data" set to "Push", and I have iCloud backup set to "on". My unique arrangement makes this perpetual unread badge especially disruptive. I'm begging for a solution, however creative.
Thank you!
Doug
Sounds extreme, and I'm worried about the effect on many other iCloud apps. This seems to be a notorious problem. Take a peak at this thread:

I'm having this problem. It started yesterday. I have 2 updates, but when I open the App Store, they won't appear.
Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
The others are on my daughters account.
I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up. -
Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?
I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys? -

IPhone email receives, won't send - have read through forums, nothing works
Hoping someone can help.
my iPhone receives email but won't send.
I first tried the automatic sync through iTunes as I am on an iMac and use the Mail client. That didn't work.
Then I deselected 'sync' and set up the account directly on my iPhone. First I did it just like my blackberry (which always worked) - as a POP account, with the same settings as on my computer.
Then i tried it as an IMAP and Exchange account. didn't work.
Please tell me it's something simple I'm doing wrong - here are the details:
Incoming mail server:
host: mail.website.com
user: sarah+website.com
password
Outgoing Mail Server:
smtp.earthlink.net - also tried smtp.website.net, with and without SSL
sarah+website.com
password - tried it with and without user + password (as i never needed this on bberry)
If anyone has any suggestions at all I would be grateful -
thanks so much,
sarahWe went to the "www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/" and followed all its directions (you are asked to enter your e-mail address, and it returns with everything you need to enter to set up the info).
Before this worked, we had to undo the mail sync in iTunes, then select the "eject iPhone" from a pull down, unplug the iPhone. We then deleted the earthlink account we had first created. Then we recreated a new Earthlink account using the info given us from the link above. The only thing we had to change was under Settings/Mail/Authentication ... don't select anything. It defaults to the MD5 thing but doesn't display anything -- just leave it that way.
I guess that sometimes the sync operation muddles up the process when first creating yor mail accounts. -
HELP PLEASE :( IPHONE STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE.

i really need help please. i have tried irecovery but no luck.
someone please help my iphone is a must have. i need it tomorrow.
i have
Windows7 64bit
iPhone4
please someone help.Doing a search on Google revealed this:
if you ever edited your hosts file ...change it back. basically do the reverse of this to about step 5:
mac
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7556
windows
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7557
(editing the file back to the original worked for me)
Follow those instructions and see if that helps. -
A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.
I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem. -
Help Please - iPhone crashed - only showing Apple logo
Hi
Apple support is closed so I was wondering if anyone here can help me.
I downloaded a new App and during install my iPhone seemed to freeze.
I held the power button and it powered off and when I powered it back on again it gets as far as the apple logo and never any further regardless of how long i leave it.
I have also tried reseting by holding down Power button and Menu button but with the same results.
Attaching to my computer and firing up iTunes only results in an iTunes freeze.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
RobinYou will need to do a restore.
from another post,
1. Open iTunes
2. Coonect iPhone to Mac or PC.
3. hold both Sleep/Wake and home button for 10 seconds.
4. The screen will go blank and the instant ir does RELEASE Sleep/Wake and CONTINUE to hold the Home button for 20 seconds.
5. iTunes will then see the device as in "An iPhone in Recvovery mode".
6. You may proceed with the restore of the iPhone.
Note: iTunes may not see it instantly, just continue to hold the home button until it does. If it still doesn't work start the entire process again until it works. Every iPhone and IPod Touch can enter DFU Restore mode regarless of tis state (since this does not require the OS to boot).
What you will see on the iphone to indicate it is ready to restore is a cahnbe from the apple lot to a cable wanting to be installed. Then you can restore.
once I got that I clicked restore and it will go through its paces. It may take quite some time so be patient. -
IPhone stops getting email randomly, won't update???
My iPhone 4 sometimes stops getting email, pushed or fetched. This happens for all email accounts, 2 gmail and 1 mobileme/mac account. I'll suddenly realize that I haven't gotten an email for a long while, and when I check the phone it won't be able to connect to the server, and will eventually say the last update was at X time which was hours and hours ago. If I ask it to check for mail it then says it can't connect to the server and I should check my settings. I haven't touched my settings! Generally if I turn my phone off and then on again the messages will appear. Anyone have the same problem? My wifi and signal strength are working just fine when this happens. I'm using version 5.1.1. Thanks!

Hello.
I've been searching online for an answer and can't find one - hopefully someone can help...
I recently updated to Yosemite and decided on a general clear-out, so went through 1000's of documents, photos, emails, etc. I ended up deleting the all of the emails in my 'deleted items' folder. Since then, when I go into Outlook and hit the 'send/receive' tab it logs on as normal, but then gets stuck on 'updating message list' - it shows me that there are emails and how many, but will not download them.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Many thanks!As Outlook, part of MS Office, is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful. -
Help! iPhone no longer recognized after update/sync
Help. After months of delaying doing the update for my iPhone 3gs, I finally hooked it up tonight. Well half way through the update an "unexpected error" occured. Now my phone only has the 'connect to itunes' screen. I've tried rebooting my pc and phone. The phone will show the apple then the 'connect to tunes' screen. Now iTunes won't recognize the iPhone and my computer doesn't want to see it as a device. Help! Not sure what else to try, why it happened or what to do. TIA
Try kicking it out of recovery mode with RecBoot. If that does now work, read through section 3 in link below.

My App Store badge won't update
i updated my iphone 4 to 4.3.3 when it was available. everything worked great for a week or more, and now all of a sudden I am showing a "1" on my app store badge. I go in 5 times a day to check for updates, and there are none, and the badge goes away. When I reboot my phone, or connect to data services, the "1" appears again.
please advise.i am facing this problem too! no matter how many times i sync with itunes it doesn't solve the problem and it's getting irritating cause i always make sure all my apps are up-to-date.
i checked with few of my friends and some of them have this issue too after the 4.3.3 update.
i checked around the forums but others who encounter this problem have their phones jailbreaked. anyone has a solution for this problem for non-jailbreak phones please advise.
thank you! -
Iphone AND Ipad won't update to iOS4.2 Itunes updated w newest version
My Iphone 4 and Ipad 3G will not update to the newest iOS it keeps telling me network was timed out shortly after the download was almost finished...it's been over a month and I STILL get the same thing. I have the newest Itunes. I do not understand why it is not updating.. please help.
Thank you@Deggie
What do you mean by there is a way to avoid this?
By taking down all antivirus/antispyware software and firewalls?
@evil hero inferno wing
Hmm that's odd it's not working for you. My fiance was having the same issue with upgrading his phone. He took down all his antivirus/antispyware software and firewalls on his own computer and he upgraded his phone with the first try.
If you have spy ware such as Spy-bot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, SuperAnti Spyware and etc, you must turn those off too. I selected "Download and Upgrade".
If you turned it all off, try the "download only" then once it downloads upgrade it by clicking upgrade? Maybe that will work?
Also if you have two firewalls, you must turn both off. I had two running without knowing LOL -
