I DO NOT get ALL email messages from folks that say they sent me an email. I can get them sometimes and sometimes not.

There are folks that send me emails all the time. Sometimes they come in and most times they don't They are always telling me that they sent me an email and I have not received it. When I tell them to send it NOW as I am sitting at the computer, then the email comes in for the first time. This has been happening since I downloaded Thunderbird. Please tell me why this happens as it if a bit frustrating, especially when they don't know I have not received their email and the information is very important that I get the email and the information they are sending me.
Thank you for your assistance.

Thunderbird downloads email messages that make it into your Inbox on your providers server. Are these missing messages actually in the Inbox and are not downloaded or do they not make it to the Inbox on the server.
If the later, ask your provider where your mail is going.
It might not hurt to log into your account on the server and check for a spam folder. You might be surprised to see what is in there.

  • I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help."

    I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." Do you know what is going on here--what this problem could be? (I do have the latest Firefox version already installed. I have previously received Firefox error messages that say "Firefox Update Failed." However, I already had the latest Firefox version installed when I received those error messages.)

    Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
    Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
    (That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

  • TS1647 My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

My itunes is updated to 10 and ipod has not been connected to itunes since Oct.

    Hello R Hic,
    I found an article that goes over how to restart and troubleshoot the Apple Mobile Device Service on Windows. I would recommend following the steps listed in that article and that should resolve your issue.

    From what I know from troubleshooting all sorts of screwed-up PC devices, you should try the following steps (I have assumed you didn't try any of them, so plz don't take offence for some "basics"):
    1) Updating the iTunes on your PC, or if it's already the latest, see if you can find the individual install package of "Apple Mobile Device Support" by using Window's Search (the package should be "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi") and reinstall it (Uninstall the existed one first). If you can't find the individual package, I think you may find a downloadable one online, or if you want to simply the process, just reinstall the whole iTunes.
    2) If problem remains, check if there's any "application/service monitoring function" on your anti-virus/spyware program, and find if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is on its "blocked list", remove this entry when you find it.
    3) Check if there's any "Registry" clean-up software/function in a software, or whether you've altered any apple-related or unknown registry entries. If it's a yes, see if you can find the most recent Registry backup before the iPod connection problem occured. In the case you do not have any backup (Make sure! Almost every Registry clean-up software would back-up Registry before any cleaning process. You can find them in this software's directory), simply use the "system restore" program of Windows to restore your computer to the latest point when iPod's connection with PC was still functioning.
    Since we can't find any problems with "Apple Moblie Device Support" from above steps, let's refocus to the hardware part:
    4) Restore the "setting part" to default on you iPod, if you don't want to wipe clean your setting now, try below steps first.
    1) Plug in your iPod to other USB port, if it doesn't work, try plug in other devices to check if there's any problem with your USB ports or USB's drivers on PC. (If there is, try 'roll back' the USB driver's version by entering to its 'property' on right-clicked menu, if still doesn't work, maybe the USB ports are broken-down)
    6) Go over the steps and check if you've tried everything. The latest choice I'd advise is to check if you can find another "USB cable" for iPod and plug-in so you'd know if the original is broken.
    Well, that's about all I can think of. Good luck and post your questions if you need any clear-up.

  • Why am I getting an error message from Apple Support saying that Jive no longer supports Internet Explorer 6 when I'm running FF 31.0?

    When I try to access Apple Support or discussions, I get the following error message:
    Attention, Internet Explorer 6 User
    Announcement: Jive has discontinued support for Internet Explorer 6.
    In order to provide the best platform for continued innovation, Jive no longer supports Internet Explorer 6.
    Jive will not function with this version of Internet Explorer. Please consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9, or trying another browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome.
    (Please remember to honor your company's IT policies before installing new software!)
    I'm not using IE6 — I'm on an Intel Mac Pro!! What is going on?

    hello, the useragent of your browser is correctly identifying it as firefox 31. you'll probably have to approach apple's support to find out if they have a bug on their side or are displaying this message to all its users...

  • The drop drop down box from Yahoo that says "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? will not respond to clicking on it. It Stays in the drop down position covering other tabs and makes them unuseable.

    this box with three options: learn more, save to my Yahooa1 ID, No thanks, just save to this computer, will not respond when any option is selected. It will not go away. It covers other tabs making them useless.

    Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

  • I accidentally deleted all of my vacation pictures that I just took, is there anyway I can get it back?!

    I was going to send my friends all of the vacation pictures so I selected all of them and I accidentally clicked delete instead!!! How can I get them back? Please help thank you

    1, You can either backup with iTunes to you computer or iCloud. Either way you have to start it. If you didn't start one of them, you don't have a backup then.
    2, Yes, without a backup there is nothing you can do.
    3, There is no Trash on an iPhone. If you delete it, it is gone.

  • Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

    I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
    "The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
    The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
    Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
    thank you in advance!

    Colin,
    Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

  • I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  How do I stop this?

    I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  What do I need to do?

    I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
    Sorry but you lost your money.

  • I have an iPad and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent email to.

    I have an iPad 2 and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent mail to.

    Email addresses that are not in your Contacts app but which still show up in Mail will disappear after a period of time when they are unused. Just ignore them and they will eventually go away.
