I NOT download mail on laptop (but leave it for dl to my desktop); how can I get the lapt to recog what it already in its inbox and not add new copies each time

I use a small Acer laptop on trips. I read email on it, but leave the mail on the server (POP acct at my university) for download at home onto my desktop. My problem is that the laptop does not recognize what it has already copied to my inbox, and so adds a new copy of all mail (that is on server) each time I "get" my mail. Is there some way that I can get it to only "get" what mail it does not already have ?

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

    I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc so that I can play it in the house and put it on a cd for the car. I went into the itunes store to play the tune and it cuts out there too. thankyou

    Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
    I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
    To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

  • I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

    I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.  Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

    It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
    To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • I bought an album and one of the songs did not download completely.  It shows that the song is 3:17 seconds but only got 40 secs. of it.  How can i get the rest of the song back?

    I bought an album from itunes and one of the songs did not download completely.  It shows in the player that it is 3:17 but only plays for 40 secs.  How can i get the entire song back?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • HT1689 I have downloaded missing artwork via Google images onto i-tunes but when I then connect my i-phone, how can I get the artwork to transfer across to the i-phone?

    I have downloaded missing artwork, using Google images, into i-tunes.  I expected this to be automatically transferred to my i-phone when I connected it but nothing happened, How can I transfer the artwork into my i-phone?

    Try a reset ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • How can I get Itunes 7 to burn to my external La Cie burner, and not my internal Pioneer burner, which is behaving unreliably?

    Is there a way to reset the default CD burner? I have an internal pioneer burner the DVR105, and an external firewire La Cie burner. The La Cie burner is much newer  and will burn properly. However, itunes 7 is trying to burn to the internal DVR105 only, and it keeps giving me errors.
    How can I get Itunes to burn to the healthy la Cie? I know my Toast software recognizes it...I have burned DVDs to the La Cie many times before  in Toast. Itunes offers me no option to select which burner to use, unlike Toast. My OS is Panther.
    thx
    c-post

    Sorry, Itunes is not giving me that dialog. Lemme tell you, it did give me a related dialog earlier today when my La Cie was not connected. Apparently it defaulted back to the Pioneer at that time. I have since reconnected the La Cie, and the system is seeing it, however Itunes won't offer me the option to burn to the La Cie. It just burns to the Pioneer, then gives me an error saying it can't burn the CD.

  • How can I get the option to make an iPod selection playlist when there is not enough space on my iPod for my whole iTunes library?

    I am trying to sync my iPod with my iTunes library and I recently added more music to my library than there is space on my iPod. Normally, I know iTunes is supposed to give you the option of creating an iPod selection playlist, so you can choose which songs you want to put from your library onto your iPod. However, iTunes won't currently give me that option. It simply gives me an error message saying there is not enough free space to sync my iPod. How can I get it to create the iPod selection playlist?

    Start deleting stuff from your iPod to make room. 

  • MY LAPTOP CRASHED BUT MY LIBRARY IS ON MY HOME PC HOW CAN I GET THE LIBRARY BACK TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING THE SONGS I REPURCHASED

    HOW CAN I MOVE LIBRARY FROM ONE PC TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING REPURCHASED SONGS ON MY LAPTOP

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

  • In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

    Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
    The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

    Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
    Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

    Thanks

  • I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

    I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

    That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
