ICloud mail never stops trying to get new mail

Running 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, the whirling symbol indicates that the iCloud account never stops looking for new mail. Other accounts do not do this. This does not occur on my MacPro, my I pad or my iphone, either. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

My computer crashed and I downloaded Itunes on a new computer and I'm trying to get new music and it says my Ipod is synced with another itunes library {my dead computer} and I can either erase and sync or transfer itunes purchases.

Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

700p suddenly gives invalid user/password message when trying to get new mail

My Yahoo Mail Plus account is working fine. When I use versamail on the Palm Treo 700p to retrieve emails from my active Yahoo account, I get "-ERR(Auth)invalid user/password" message. I can access my Yahoo Mail account from the "Web" app on my treo.
So it is definitely a VersaMail issue. This happened after it had been getting new mail (and sending) successfully.
Can anyone help?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

unfortunately Yahoo and their Branded contracts just don't work as advertised and neither the ISPs Nor Yahoo appear in the slightest bit interested.
If you delete the popstate.dat file in the profile folder in the yahoo server directory, it will restart the download again from the top (Everything)
You might also find that disabling email scanning in your anti virus program may be beneficial. (Could it be McAfee?)
The majority of RETR complaints here are from ATT and BT users, both of whom get McAfee given in by their ISP.

I have have yahoo email and got a message from yahoo that a new version was coming when i tried to get new version it said i needed safari 5 how to get it?

I have Yahoo mail. I got an email that they are upgrading site.so I tried to get the new version. When I did they gave me a message that i needed Safari 5. When I went to Safari to download it on my ipad it was grey. I am afraid I will not be able to access my email. What should I do?

You can set up your Yahoo mail account in Settings. Once you've filled out the information, you can access your mail via the Mail app on the iPad, instead of via Safari.

I get this error message frequently when logging into my email account and trying to get new messages.

Error message says: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure your file system allows you to write privileges and you have enough desk space to copy the mailbox.
This message comes and goes and often will not be fixed ( although sometimes it will ) by restarting the computer or turning off the computer and then turning back on. Sometimes I just have to come back later and try again and it works.
I've made no changes in the writing privileges and desk space copy ever ( I don't know what this means) so I don't understand
why this message comes and goes. The remainder of my email account seems to work fine, this is just a problem when trying
to download new messages.

It is more likely that the files are locked by an anti virus program getting in the way. Create an exception from real time scanning in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folder and its children.
To try the theory before creating the exception which can be tedious, restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection.

Been trying to get new speed from 8 Meg since Febr...

In December we received a letter stating our bt contract was running out, we phoned up to renew our contract, whilst talking with the sales person we also talked about our exchange that was being upgraded in February to 21CN WBC. They told us that renewing this contract would up us on the priority list for the new speed switch over.
We are still waiting for our line to be changed to the new modulation, we have had numerous calls to bt asking what is going on and why we haven't been switched over yet, only to put through countless line tests and being asked to check our master sockets and filters.
on Wednesday the 25 July 2012 it seemed like I made some progress speaking with someone who actually sounded like they knew what they where talking about over the telephone, they stated that our line would be switched from adsl max to adsl 2 and it would take 48 hours and then it would be done. It's now Sunday and our speeds and modulation are still exactly the same.
Could some one please help it's been months of trying to get anywhere over the bt phone helplines.

Sam knows exchange link
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/LCECC
bt wholesale exchange link for speeds
For Telephone Number on Exchange ECCLESTON
Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 2Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 8Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 7Mbps and 8Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 13.5Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 11.5Mbps and 15.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 13.5Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 11.5Mbps and 15.5Mbps.
The actual stable line speed supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use. This speed may change over time, to ensure line stability is maintained.
If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable for the service you wish to purchase.
Thank you for your interest.
Please note that postcode and address check results are indicative only. Most accurate results can be obtained from a telephone number check.
Note: If you already have a Broadband service enabled on this line and you want to switch service providers, you will need to contact both your current provider and your new provider to get your service changed over new and existing service provider to have this service transferred.
Solved!

After talking with the care team My conenction is now on the new adsl 2 speeds thanks to David.
The main reason We were after the new speeds was the new upload speed, it seems my download speed has been improved but my upload speed is still the same.
Would I need to re contact the care team after the 10 days training period on the line training to see about getting the new upload speed also?

Trying to get new iBook set up - frustrated!

So, why, if Apple makes such a big deal about easily being able to transfer data from your old Mac to your new one, don't they include the necessary Firewire cable?
I've been sitting here for two hours trying to get my new iBook up and running. Don't have a Firewire cable so I can't transfer my Internet settings; can't find my Direcway satellite Internet settings anywhere on my old iMac; don't know what the heck I'm doing. And it's almost 2 a.m. and I have to work tomorrow.
Grrrrr.

Best Buy was out, but I found a Firewire cable at Staples last night and was able to transfer my data from my old iMac to the new iBook. Thirty bucks -- those things aren't cheap!
Now I'm trying to decide the best way to organize my old and new account info on the new iBook, since I now have two user accounts. (Use new one for clean slate? Stick w/old one? Merge somehow?)
I'm also having problems getting connected to the Internet with the new Airport Extreme base station and have posted over in that topic. I was able to connect once successfully last night, so I don't understand why I can't now.
Anyway, thanks, everyone, for your help.

Sprint Pre v1.4.5 IMAP type never stops trying to sync...

My phone is a Sprint Pre running v1.4.5 (the problem also happened with v1.4.1). The problem is this:
My work uses MailEnable Enterprise as our email server and ever since I got my Pre, August '09, I have had an IMAP connection setup on my phone. The settings that I used all this time were Get 7 Days of emails and get As They Arive. It worked wonders until about a week ago. It still gets my emails but it never seems to stop doing the sync function; meaning the little rotating circle status continues to run and run and run. My battery now doesn't even last 1/2 a day.
You will want to ask if anything has changed on my work's email server. It has not. I am the server administrator for my work. No settings have been changed nor has there been any updates done to either the MailEnable software or the Windows Server 2008 R2 it runs on (I deliberately have Windows Updates turned off).
Here is what I've done to test if it is my phone or the email server...
I have had an email account setup for my wife on my work's system for over a year (though she rarely uses it). I added both my email account and hers to her Pixi (also Sprint) and my Pre (deleting it and re-adding it on mine). Her Pixi stops attempting the sync on both accounts while mine doesn't stop on either. When I first had these problems, I thought it might have something to do with the many patches I had installed on my pre so I did a full erase on my phone and used WebOS Doctor (this was tried with v1.4.1 as 1.4.5 wasn't available at this time). The problem still persisted. I left my Pre homebrew free for days. When 1.4.5 came out, I immediately downloaded it and installed it OTA on my Pre (still homebrew free). It still didn't help.
I did add both my wife's and I's email accounts to my Pre as POP3 just to see if it has something to do with the combination of IMAP and my work's email server. POP3 worked great and I thought I could just use that, leaving it on 30 minutes or 1 hour check intervals. After a few days of that, my battery life was better than when IMAP wouldn't stop syncing but it was no where near as good as when IMAP worked properly. I have since decided I don't really want to use POP3.
I even tried setting up my school email account on my phone to use IMAP instead of Exchange. It too had the same problem on my phone; I tried it on my wife's and it didn't have a problem.
I also tried seeing if it changed if I had WiFi turned on or off. That didn't change anything. I even put my phone on Airplane mode, thinking that would force the email program to stop refreshing; it didn't appear to change anything, my battery life was still draining faster than I've seen before and the status circle thing was still going around and around.
I don't know how or why IMAP on my Pre is broken... If it is a software related thing, I would have thought WebOS Doctor would have restored it back to working order. If it is hardware, I would think all email communication would be having problems. I have a half of mind of taking it to my local Sprint store and have it swapped out.
Anyone out there have any ideas on something I can try? I consider myself a pretty tech savy person so don't worry about going over my head too much.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I recently started to get Account Locked on gmail using IMAP. I solved this (fingers crossed) by deleting the IMAP account, changing the password, clearing the capture online when adding back the gmail account.
This maybe related- one of the reasons Google list for IMAP account lock is over checking of email. I had mine set to "when email arrives" when I upgraded to v1.4.5.

Trying to get new house connected is a nightmare

Hi,
Just moved house in September and made arrangements to get my phone and broadband service moved to my new address, got an appointment for the 25th and after numerous e-mail and texts to say they were coming and to make sure someone would be in they called the night before to cancel stating external works would need done and i would get an update in two weeks, bearing in mind the previous owner had a phone line, there is a pole outside the front door with a cable going to my house i was shocked when told there wasn't a line available for me from the pole or any other close by, anyway this has been going on for some time now, first they submitted drawings to the council for 3 way traffic lights that were accepted, then when the work was supposed to be carried out they came back with another excuses saying they then had to then submit plans to the council, we then got another date for 12th November and was assured that most of the cable work was complete and only a small section remained that was underground and requiring the traffic lights would take an hour, 3 men turned up hovered around outside the house and then disappeared again before i could get my shoes on and go out to chat to them, then told the following day that they could not complete the work for some reason that the cs girl didn't know then got a date for the 19th that was then changed later to the 24th then at 4am this morning get an email from BT saying they would be sending an engineer on the 25th September - whats that all about!! its getting beyond a joke i'm usually pretty patient but this is getting ridiculous, and to top it all off i am still getting charged for the services that havent been getting for the last two months.

Trying to get new installation of TB to find backup profile file

On Sat morning startup of PC, Thunderbird acted as if it was a new install, no folders, abook, etc. Firefox showed no bookmarks, etc. Also, Win 7 would not find my desktop on boot. I've done a complete restore with Carbonite overnight. No real change, except at least now I could d/l new Thunderbird and Firefox; yesterday could not. I realize win 7 desktop problems aren't yours to solve; just trying to relate situation.
I finally found my backup TB profile, with abook.mab and other files, which look like everything is
there in a file, ********.default. I'm trying to be VERY careful about the best way to get the new
TB to find my backup default file so I don't loose it all. I've read the profile move, restore, change,
etc. methods on your site; I just want to do it right the first time.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I've copied profile folder to my documents folder.
I've used profile manager to the point where I've created a folder, named
it and when it asks to choose folder, I can't find file I copied to my docu-
ment folder. In one of my several tries, I have been able to reconnect with
my email server and get email and I could send myself a test message,
but I can't seem to tie Thunderbird and the profile folder together and
I have tried many times to do this, so I can retrieve all my old folders and
address book, etc. Can you tell what I'm doing wrong from this message ?

Songs & Apps are on an external HD, trying to get new PC to recognize

Thanks for any help you can give. I store all my iTunes stuff on an external HD and want to have a new computer with iTunes "see" everything as it was on the old PC. I followed an earlier thread regarding moving the .itl file but now the old PC has lost everything too. What did I miss?

I don't understand your question. Please describe exactly what you're trying to do from beginning to end.
