I tried to fix an email display problem by deleting

I tried to fix an email display problem--only a quarter of the messages appear on the screen--the second time this happened--by deleting my accounts and re-entering them. Now although the mail icon on the home page says I have 30+ messages, when I click on it, I get a screen with the word Mailboxes at the top but nothing underneath and nothing else on the screen except two blank boxes. In one it says "No Message Selected". How do I reset mail when this happens again as I assume it will.

Hey PGP,
My suggestion would be remove the email, restart the ipad and then connect to that specific e-mail. Sometimes some emails hosts tend to have problems with specific device. You were not clear what email service you are trying to connect it with.
I hope this helps. (If it did, don't forget to rate as a helpful answer)
If not feel free to give me a shout.
Best of luck.

  • How to fix jaggy font display problem?

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard a few days ago and have been having font display problems ever since.
    When I first upgraded, everything seemed fine, but then Word wouldn't display Arial. So, I validated fonts in Font Book and discovered a bunch of dupes. When I deactivated the dupes, that problem was resolved. But, a new problem occurred. Many of the fonts throughout various applications (Mail, Safari, Finder) appeared jaggy.
    I tried playing with text smoothing and LCD font smoothing, but neither seemed to have much, if any, effect.
    Then, I decided that I hadn't had a good font cleanup for several years, and maybe all the dupes and other detritus were part of the problem. So, I literally deleted all my  fonts from system/library, root/library and user/library (I copied some into a .zip archive for safe keeping) and reinstalled Snow Leopard and all current updates. Then, I fixed permissions twice (though there are always permissions that won't fix) and booted into single user and did an fsck.
    But, after all that, my jaggy problem still persists
    It's really strange in that it appears worse at some times. And, doesn't seem to be present in all apps. Here's a screenshot from YouTube with Safari on the left (bad jaggies) and Chrome on the right (no jaggies).
    I'd really appreciate some help. Any ideas?

    Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
    This does not clear the font cache files for Word (Office), which keeps its own such items.
    Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
    ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
    For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)
    For Office 2011, the location is:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/Office Font Cache

  • I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem.  Please help!

    Hello There,
    I have NO idea what just happened.  I am trying to stay calm here.  Please help.
    I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro.  I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye.  Here's the instructions I followed.  Please tell me how I can get them back!  Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
    (These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.) 
    ***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
         5.  Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
         6.  Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
         7.  Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.
    MacBook Pro  OSX.6.8 and iPhone 3GS

    Hi,
    Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
    Hope that helps

  • FW port wasn't responding, tried to fix and now display's INSANELY messedup

    My Lacie external wasn't responding at all on my G5, search a bunch of forums and how ti fix it and came up with this:
    1° boot the mac in Open Firmware by holding [ Apple key - Option - O - F ] after the startup chime.
    2° you'll get to a command prompt. the keyboard mapping will be QWERTY, so pay attention when you type the following :
    RESET-NVRAM (enter)
    RESET-ALL (enter)
    3° Now the mac should restart itself and the port should function properly again.
    Went in and tried it out, when my mac rebooted the picture display is now just completely out of whack, everything's black and white and super pixelated and really messed up. How can I fix this? I'm also thinking the instructions I used to try to fix my FireWire port may have been for a G4 so I don't know if i totally screwed myself. Anyone know how to A) get my computer back to normal and B) get my Lacie to read? PLEASE HELP THIS IS URGENT.
    thanks.

    HI-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Your signature says that you use OS 10.6.
    If so, you have a Mac Pro, not a G5.
    Intel Mac Pro machines are quite different and should be posted in the Mac Pro forum.
    Pending your reply, I'll ask to have this moved so that you don't need to repost.
    Beyond this, have you restarted the machine again, to see if a second restart is normal?
    After a normal restart, try a Safe Mode start.
    Hold down the Shift key during boot to boot to Safe Mode.
    This will allow you to check your display preference settings in case that is where the problem lies.

  • TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

    My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Lion Mail5.1 HTML emails display problems...

    Hello all Lion Professionals,
    Does anyone know why I see some HTML emails in a very bad way?
    When I receive emails that includes pictures and HTML code the message fall apart, the images included in the message are there, but as an attachment...
    It doesn't matter how it was the e-mail written 'bad evidence#2' when I've simply send to myself one test note from my own mail app, or simply a get a formatted newsletter 'bad evidence#1' from one partner (which it is perfect in any others mail applications and OS)...
    Generally the Apple system emails are displayed properly...
    Now I use Mail5.1(OS Lion) but I've face this problem before with Snow Leo too!
    Just for checking this problem and the system, I've use for Thunderbird for Mac, and this problem does not appear at all, unfortunately Thunderbird does not fit my needs for other reasons.
    I dont know what to do, if anyone can help please do it!
    TNX in advance

  • My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

    My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall  not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

  • Are sprint and apple trying to fix the 3g speed problem with the iphone 4s?

    Ive had my 4s for about a month now, and i am about 50% happy with it. The internet speed is so slow when im not on wi-fi, and
    in the evenings the picture mail service is so slow, since it runs on the 3g network. Ive sat back and waited to see if it gets better, but
    doesn't look like it has. I haven't even seen where sprint nor apple have stated that there is a problem, and that really makes me mad.
    Why did i pay $200 for an iphone that I cant even use to the full advatange people. Sprint and Apple really need to make a statement and
    fix this problem, they are going to loose a lot of customers.  Thanks.

  • IMAP email setup problem. Deleted items are still in my Inbox

    I've already contacted my e-mail provider (123-Reg) and they are adamant this is an Apple problem, hence the question to you helpful souls
    If I delete emails using my iPhone or my iPad, the email correctly disappears from my Inbox and goes into my Trash folder when viewed using the Webmail.
    However, when I delete them from my Mac (Mavericks), the emails move into the Trash folder correctly when viewed on the Mac, but on Webmail, they not only go into the Trash folder, but also remain in the Inbox, but with a strikethrough.
    Any ideas?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ Accounts
    Select one of your IMAP accounts in the list on the left, then open the Mailbox Behaviors tab, Uncheck the box marked
    Store deleted messages on the server
    Do the same in your other IMAP accounts. Save the changes when prompted.

  • 10.4.5 Update is out and fixes display problems.

    For all who have not updated yet:
    You can either on Apple.com/support/downloads get the Intel 10.4.5 update or the blue Apple in the left top corner of the screen click it and then software update.
    This will list all available updates depending on what is on your MAC.
    There is several Imac Intel users reporting fixes for their display problems ect. after installing the update + restarting.

    This fixes the problems except maybe for the 20" 256mb vram ones ????
    www.hardmac.com reports still some problems on one of theirs.

  • When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.  I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still

    When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.  I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists.  How can I fix it?  thank you.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

    Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
                $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
                $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!
