Inbox says I have 2 messages. I can't see them. What should I do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Inbox says I have unread messages but I can't find them

My inbox says I have 45 unread messages (and the number gets higher every day) but I can't find them. I have gone through all my emails but everything has been read. How do I fix this?

This was driving me crazy as well. Here is how I solved it:
1. Right click on Inbox and Mark all as read
2. Go to each subfolder and Mark All Read
3. Run outlook.exe /cleanviews (enter it in Start panel to run this command)
4. Close Outlook and restart as Administrator
5. Again Mark all read (repeat in subfolders)
6. Close and restart normally
The unread count disappeared. No clue where this ghostly email resided, but given that I checked
all subfolders, I feel ok that I did not miss anything. Be sure to check your rules too, in case you are moving incoming messages and don't remember setting up such a rule.
Good luck!

Why does my email inbox say I have unread messages, when I know for a fact that I don't?

I know it probably shouldn't bother me, but I can't stand the little red figure notification bubble on my apps. Therefore, I always read all of my emails and update my apps on time to avoid any red bubbles. Yet, what i don't understand is why my mail app is saying I have new mail even when I don't. The first time this has happened was when I upgraded to ios7 and I'm not okay with that. I had hoped that when I bought the new iphone it would go away, but it hasn't. Has anyone else had this problem too?

I phone is said to be example : 16 gb so it shows it as such. Your computer detects the true storage capacity as being example: 15.1 gb. Not every device is the same. They don't all hold 16 gb. It's just a rough estimate as to how much is in that device. That could be where he difference lies

I cannot access any songs on my iPod classic. I had around 20,000 songs on it and it now says I have 12,00o but can't access them. Any idea why this has happened?

I cannot plug it into iTunes and reload as my MacBook crashed a few days ago and I had to get a new hard drive. Recovery software is unable to retrieve anything from the hard drive.
All the songs were from CDs so not saved in iTunes.
The iPod was last plugged into the MacBook one day before it crashed and it was Ok when I ejected it.
Could it be anything to do with this? Doesn't an iPod have its own memory? Any ideas why it has happened and if their is anyway of retrieving it? Is it best to just take it into an apple shop? I am no longer covered with apple support.
Thanks.

When I hover over cover flow it says I have 12851 songs but when I click nothing happens.
When I hover over artists or albums it says 'no artists/albums'.
I can upload again from my CDs but just wondering if there is anything to do. I live abroad so all my CDs are in storage.

My bookmarks disappeared. The health report says I have 289, but I can't access them.

I opened firefox and all my bookmarks were gone. There is only 1 backup, it is from this morning and it contains only the default bookmarks. However, when I go to the health report it says I have 289 bookmarks, so it knows they are there somewhere.

"Firefox updates without losing bookmarks."
Clearly it doesn't always, it has done it to me 3 times, once on this computer and twice on another.
"Firefox also automatically backs up snapshots of bookmarks."
Not always, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this problem, would I?
"Your problems may well have been cause by third party software."
That is just a bullshit excuse to not address a serious bug somewhere within Firefox
"Backing up important information is often good practice whether that relates to browser use or general computer use. "
Yet more bullshit weasel words to avoid addressing an issue.
Really people, if you have no solution, then why waste time making such pointless posts. It's almost as if you feel threatened by the fact that there is a major flaw somewhere in Firefox. It's just a browser, and it has a problem. There is no need to post to deny it, the fact that this thread even exists is all the proof you need that the problem exists.

All of a sudden my IMessage wont let me send any messages but i can still receive them what should i do?

Because Apple's currently having trouble with the iMessage and FaceTime servers. Nothing can be done from your end.

HT1657 I rented 2 movies was charged thought I down loaded but now can not find them what should I do?

I rented 2 movies 1/30/2013 I can not watch them. Can not find them I was charged please help

On an iPad they should be in the Videos app. If you can't find them in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, or did you start watching them and they've expired (once you start watching a rental you have 48 hours, 24 in the US, to finish watching them) ?

Mail: Tons of RSS messages, but can't see them

In the left column of my Mail app, I see RSS with a folder called Various (7699) and then Apple Hot News (45).
If I click Apple, I see the 45 RSS messages, but Various is a folder and is a mirror of all my folders that are listed under ON MY MAC. As I open the folders within Various, most have numbers to the right indicating that there are that # of messages, but when I click the folders, or open them, the last folder in each folder is a folder called Messages and none of them reveals any messages in the right column like you get when you click a Mail Mailbox, or the RSS Apple Hot News.
Can I delete the Various folder?
Here's a jpg of what this looks like:

Mail says I have 4294967266 messages in Inbox.

I've just set up Mail for the first time, with a brand new Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.5, and I'm accessing an IMAP account. Mail reports the correct number of messages in every folder except the Inbox. Sometimes it says I have 1 message, or 4 messages, or 8 messages, but usually it says I have around 4 billion messages (the actual number varies, but it's always around 2 to the power of 32).
All these numbers are powers of 2, so I think this must be a mathematical error somewhere. Is this a known bug with the Mail app? Or is it possible the problem is on my IMAP server's end, even though this didn't happen when I used a different mail program?
Everything else seems to be functioning correctly, so it's not a dire situation. It's just reporting the incorrect number of messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
David

I did exactly what you described, and it seemed to rebuild okay. But it didn't solve the problem.
Does Apple Mail calculate the number of messages on its own, or does it receive that information from the server? Is it possible it's a problem on the server end?
Incidentally, I found someone else who posted a similar problem in the forum (same symptom, but he was using a POP account), but it doesn't look like he ever found a solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1760862&tstart=32

Inbox says I have email but there's no email

Problem: Inbox says I have email but there's no email
I am using MobileMe. Don't know what is causing the problem but I have had this problem a few times.
I have resolved it but turning off and on my iphone (rebooting). As soon as my iPhone restarts the new email appears.

Add me to this list.. I use gmail with SMTP and I get messages that are clearly on the server via a computer log in. On the phone, they show up as a message but with no content, a very odd date and most strangely of all, are not deletable/archivable. I.e. when you press edit they do not get a circle next to them and are unselectable... very odd. If I turn off mail and restart its fixed. Mail in this case is real, just not downloaded or some odd network error killing it on the phone, they are fine through safari on a computer. my 3G never did this even once, so its got to be iOS4. Just a report hoping apple will see this and put on bug list. Its annoying to be sure but happens some what rarely, but enough that I know its going on.

I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Well, we can't as we don't know what you consider as "more than enough". The built is quite heavy (like it can be 800mb) then it needs to be extracted to be installed before everything unneeded gets deleted...
