I have iphone 4, uploaded iOS7. Only some of my emails are transmitted to my phone. They all show up on my computer  but only some show up on the phone. Sometimes the emails on the phone delete before I can even read them. Any thoughts?

I have iphone 4 , updated to iOS 7 and had to reset phone, lost many contacts. Fixed a duplication problem on contacts.  Now the problem is with email, I have a cox account, icloud account.  I can send myself a test message and I always get it on the phone.  I do not consistently obtain other emails, yet all the emails show up on my home computer.  Do I have my settings messed up?

OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish!

  • Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?

    When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn.  I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start.  Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?  Am I screwed?  HELP!!

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and  keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
    It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

  • Email vanishes before I can even read it...

    I have a serious problem. Been on-going and I haven't found a solution yet.
    Incoming email that is vanishing before I can even read it.
    Numerous times oI've noticed incoming email notifications on on the pop up notification window on the upper righthand of the screen. I can see who the email is from and the first sentence or so.
    But when I go to Apple Mail the email(s) aren't there.
    I've checked the junk folder, trash folder even my mailbox on icloud and no email. As if it never happened.
    For example I just paid my credit card bill online. I saw an immediate Apple Mail notification from my CC company confirming payment. But when I check Apple Mail the email never made it to my box. Not a sign of it - anywhere.
    I go to Apple mail -- no email.
    I'm having the same problem with several other incoming accounts. The emails simply refuse to show up in Apple Mail.
    Is this a known issue? It's also happening across my synced computers and the ipad. None of them show certain emails showing up.
    I use Spam Sieve to manage spam. But it doesn't seem to matter if I uninstall it or if its running or not.
    It caused a serious problem a while back. A business associate claimed he had emailed me a dozen times about a project. I would check - no emails anyhere. I finally had him do a test. I would be on the phone and he would push send. I would see the notification come up showing it had arrived. But nothing in Apple Mail. It's driving me crazy. I have no idea how many email addresses are affected.

    Here is a webpage with pictures that show what Carolyn is takling about.  I usually try the envelope rebuild first since it doesn't download my entire 12GB mailbox again.

  • I installed my old Adobe Acrobat 7 pro on my win 7 computer but couldn't activate...the CS deleted it and gave me a new linke to install which wouldn't work.  They lost all my work.  CS sucks.

    I had on old copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 which I purchased full price.  I needed it to fill in my mothers inheritance tax.  I could not activate it so was in the trial period.  I contacted Customer support to be allowed to activate it.  They asked no questions on which OS I was on and send me a link.  The link downloaded the program, but upon install found I had a later version.  I  resumed the call with customer support (30 minute hold) and told them the issue.  They woman (indian) told me to uninstall my old Acrobrat pro and install the program she had sent me.  I did that, error messages.  She (without notice) had put me on another 30 minute hold.  I could no longer install my old version (which they would not let me activate) or the "newer" version because of error codes.  I tried the new ID number and the old ID number with my disc.  Both were invalid.  I called in on a home line as the assistant on the cell line was on permanent hold.  He explained they no longer supported that version and it would not work with Windows 7 (funny it worked before I called them, but could not be activated...so I was 23 days into a 30 day trial period).  Finally the cell girl came back on and lied to me saying I said the software would not work. All I needed was an activation code, I understood not all features would work, but I had tested what I needed and that worked fine.  She argued that it could not install on Windows 7 (false as I had already done it).  She hung up.  The guy on my land line came back with the same lines, but understood CS had worsened my situation. He had no solution for 30 minutes...until he offered the free trial version of version 11.  I have an xp computer (old) I could have used, they just invalidated the serial and activation numbers.  They wanted me to buy the new version.  I don't need that.  I lost half my data.  Their CS (indian) sucks to the max.

    Since the bookmarks are gone, I no longer have the link to the page for AA7 files that get around the activation issue of the AA7 activation server being gone. In any case, AA7 is not compatible with Win7. You can create workarounds, but both the print driver and AcroTray will not work. You can install another PS driver (even some from Adobe available), change the name to Adobe PDF, and set the port to FILE. Assuming you can find the AA7 link that was part of the old CS and can install it, you will have to run this work around. To use it, you print to the Adobe PDF printer you have created (or even PDF Maker (though not compatible with OFFICE after 2003 as I recall). You then open the file in Distiller to create a PDF. This latter step is what AcroTray normally takes care of, but it does not work in Win7.
    Good luck.

  • I have tried all the fixes in the "Managing the Flash Plugin" article on the support site, but am still unable to get the Flash bit to work for my favorite eMagazine, any thoughts?

    I have tried all the fixes on the managing the Flash plugin website (uninstalled, reinstalled, updated plug in, etc) but I am still not able to access my subscription on my favorite digital magazine. I can view it in Internet Explorer and I can play Flash games on Facebook, etc. So I am at a lost as to where to try next. With it being on the old tower PC and not my new zippy laptop it is difficult to play with troubleshooting and with all the addons installed by my family I'm not sure what to delete or try again.

    Did you post with the computer that gives problems or did you use another computer?
    Try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

  • I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning. how do I get them to my ipod?

    I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning, I can't get them synced onto my ipod. What am I doing wrong?

    the audiobooks I purchased show up in itunes under books and under purchased items but i cannot make them sync to my ipod. I followed your directions but it did not help.

  • TS2755 My husband and I have iPhone 4S's.  For some reason, my text messages show up on his phone.  We share the Apple ID, and my settings are such that I send and receive from my phone number and email address. How do we correct this?

    My husband and I both have iphone 4S's and for some reason he gets my text conversations w/ other people.  We share the apple ID and I have my settings set to and from my phone # and email address.  He is getting tired of being apart of text messages I am on.  How do we remedy this?

    Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

  • TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

    I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

    When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account.   In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere.  Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc.  The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up.  You restore the data from the backup.  (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

    Hello jlb1977,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

    My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter.  I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
    I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.  I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone.  Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Only you can decide what's critical to back up.  One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
    You might try going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll), then look at the size of your next backup.  If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.

    Apple hasn't done anything. This is a security feature that you did not check to see had been properly de-activated before buying the phone.
    If there was a back door, it would be useless as a security feature.
