How do I stop iPhone Mail from auto-downloading photos/videos?

My sister has had her twins. We cheered. Now she sends out 20 to 30mb of photos and videos via email every other day. The cheering has stopped.
I have a minimal data plan that has served me well for several years. Now with my sister's constant emailing of attachments, my data plan is in jeopardy within a week of the start of the new month. Unfortunately, the email address also receives emails that I do want to see while out and about on Mobile. So deleting the account isn't an option. She is also a new mother and refuses to not send out kiddo pics.
Is there a way to stop the auto-download of pictures/videos, but receive the body of text in the email from her? Then I'd know I have pictures waiting for me at home, but I'd have to wait.

There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.
Tell her you're gonna leave her out of the Will if she doesn't stop .

You either remove your Yahoo email address from the device or you turn of the 'Mail' option for that account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

It should be my choice, not apples.
And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails? Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink. Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

How do I stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport?

Sorry I post this here, but I couldn't access the developer forums (no error given, it just keeps returning me to this page https://developer.apple.com/devforums/) I'm not even sure wether that's been moved here and it's just the redirection non working.
I need to Stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport, or in other words, to stop it from trying to "fit" the layout into the viewport.
Why?
Because any recalculation javascript does on absolutely positioned elements makes the whole site super IRRESPONSIVE.
I don't know wether the issue is the element going out the already-set layout viewport (which triggers the page resizing to fit the visual viewport) or just the calculations being made constantly, but I can stop the calculations from happening when not "touching" the screen, but I need a way to stop the page resizing.
I tried setting the viewport width to 1040px, as my layout width, and it fixed the header's width being narrower than the body (or shifted left?), but the whole page is still resized with every motion-frame (one every 3 seconds, due to overloading the redrawing engine)
Is there a way to prevent that?

No, that link doesn't solve it. It just says the same is found everywhere online.
There's probably no way to do it, as per their way they "accidentally" omitted the oposite case: the page being wider than 980. They only mention what to do if the site is narrower. Something I learned is big companies (with reputation management) could let you run in circles for years no answer rather than telling you something is not possible.
I'm the developer (can't access the dev forums, don't know why) and I DID setup the viewport, scale and other properties but none of them stopped from re-fitting the new re-sized layout in the viewport. They just ensure the "initial" view.
I think the feature I'm looking for must be achieved with some JavaScript function targeting Safari-proprietary variable/property… if even possible.
I just had to make things never reaching the edge until somebody contributes something useful

How can I stop apple mail from autosaving drafts?

Hello all,
I have finally got myself a new computer and been immersed in the "new" way- my old mac was a bit like a volkswagen beetle, old and cranky but very efficient.
This new interlaced madness is proving to be very confusing on many levels but here I will state one problem I am seeking a solution to:
Apple mail autosaves a copy of my email reply drafts every 30 seconds in my apple mail draft folder. - This means many copies are saved!!!
How do I stop this?
The reason I ask this is for the following reasons:
1- If I don't send my reply after 30 seconds I have to manually delete the drafts.- I didn't know this until I was doing a little organising and have realised that I have quite a few drafts of the same message lying around in my google on mac (imap) "all mail" folder and these end up taking alot of space.
2- These then get transfered to my google mail "all mail" folder and end up taking up more space.
3- Manually deleting things from my google on mac "all mail" account is a pain in the *** because I need to delete it into the googletrash on mac and not any other deleting area. (unless I do it directly from gmail) I didn't know this until I had a read through google- the "all mail" archive is another pain in the ***.
I was deleting these messages from my mac "all mail" mailbox and they just magically reappeared into the same "all mail" mailbox, meaning they are downloaded from the server continually- I hate to think how much more that adds to data roaming.
Possible solutions I have tried out:
1- uncheck the "save draft on server" box in mail;preferences;mailbox behaviour (and saving it) - I did this and tried to write a message and there it appeared as each 30 seconds passed
2- change the mac mailbox behaviour settings to gmail Imap settings for apple mail and save these- as above, I wrote a message and it still appeared in my drafts folder, new, message appearing every 30 seconds.
3- uncheck the "use idle command if server suppors it" box in mail;preferences; accounts;advanced (as someone mentions in another forum) and the message still autosaves.
HELP!
1. This seems to be common with most people
2. I am using gmail and IMAP on mac book pro 2012 10.7.4, lion
3. This never happened with my volkswagen which was also a mac but from 2006
4. Some people say this is Imap related. I have only noticed it with this apple mail and have read it has been happening to people since 2008.
5. Look forward to new solutions

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

How do I stop e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

How do I stop receiving e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

You can turn on and off email notifications for a given thread, in the right-hand column, when viewing that thread (while logged in).
If you view your profile page (while logged in) there's a "Manage email notifications" link at the top right, which takes you to a list of all threads you are "watching" one way or another. There's a column of checkboxes at the end - and a header checkbox which fills or clears the checkboxes against all entries. At the bottom of the list is a button to remove email notifications across all the current highlighted items.
There are also settings for general (auto) email notification, in the user profile / edit preferences / Email notification preferences. For example, you can choose whether or not to auto-subscribe for notification, with future threads you may start.

How can I stop email aliases from auto-resolving on send?

My organization uses Exchange for email.
I am attempting to send a message from my iPhone TO an alias email address. As background, this is necessary because I'm attempting to develop an application that reads the inbox for the related account and performs different actions based on the alias used as the 'send to' address on the email.
I can type in the alias, or choose it from a contact (I've tried both ways), so that when I hit send it LOOKS like it's going to the alias... but as I/after I send the message, the iPhone/mail application/? resolves the alias to the primary address, so that when it enters the mailbox, it appears to have been sent to the primary email address, rather than the alias.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I don´t know for a fact, but I guess you can have your firewall block the traffic to and from the AppleTV's. You have to find out which ports to block (see: http://bowersandwilkins.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/~/firewall-ports -utilised-by-airplay ) and also you will need to have different location profiles for your home and work network.
Just my two cents.

How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".
