Incoming messages that never appear... Why?

Every now and then mail says it is downloading incoming messages 2 of 2 or 7 of 7 etc. and when it is done "receiving" these messages I have no new mail. My boyfriend's mail does the same thing. I am not actually missing any messages as I checked my mail server for new ones and there are not any there. Why does this happen?

It happens because you're using an IMAP mail account, which resides on the server, not your Mac. So whenever you send an email, your Mac and the mail server are communicating so that your Mac has an identical copy of everything that's on the server. So you may send one message, but that second one that you think is being sent is just the syncing process; same with received emails.

Welcme to the Frums!
I am fairly new to BB as well, but I will help you with what I can and others will come after me and add to it!
1: SMS messages - I woke up one morning and my most recent texts had been deleted. I hadn't done anything to them,they just disappeared! There were only a few on there (but were not 'saved' messages) from when I first got this, so it can't be the autodelete thing where they delete the oldest.
From what I have read about this, it may be the memory. Look over this link and see if it helps.
From JMRMB post - Sounds like your device is running low on memory. For a quick fix try this: Go into Options | Status and look at the File free numbers. Then reset your phone by removing the battery for 1 min then replacing it. Afterwards look at your File Free number again to see if it increased. Check the following link for ways to Free up additional memory on your device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
4: Facebook - I am not receiving my notifications for wall posts and messages, I am only receiving notifications on when a friend has added me or if I have been tagged in a photo. From the Facebook Blackberry group I know I am not the only one, but there doesn't seem to be a defined answer to the problem.
Regardin FACEBOOK - you need to go to your facebook account on your PC and log into your notifications and make sure your notifications are set with your email for each thing you want to be notified for. Something happened a few weeks ago and it kicked all of our notifications to off. Once we reset it, it works fine!
So that is a couple of answers for you! Hopefully I was a bit of assistance! you will love this forum!! Everyone is so helpful and I continue to learn and learn!!!
Have a blessed Sunday

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

Smart "unread" mailbox read messages that never go away...

On Mavericks, latest Mac Mail product:
From time to time my "smart mailbox" that is supposed to show all the unread messages in my inbox persists in keeping some messages that I have already read, and that are marked as already read. I can open and close the folder, quick mail, even restart my machine and these messages just stay there persisting. I've heard of people having this problem but never seen a solution.... eventually it goes away, but comes back a short time later with other messages. Doesn't seem to be a pattern.
Thoughts?

Hello nickaster,
It sounds like you have a Smart Mailbox that is not working correctly, but the issue seems to be intermitent. I would delete the Smart Mailbox first:
Select the mailbox and choose Mailbox > Delete Mailbox.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete mailboxes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14961
Then restart the computer, and create it again:
Create a Smart Mailbox:
Choose Mailbox > New Smart Mailbox. Use the pop-up menus and text fields to define the search criteria for the mailbox. You can also save a search, which is saved as a Smart Mailbox.
Mail (Mavericks): Use Smart Mailboxes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have an old text message that keeps appearing in my messgaes after i have deleted it, how do i fix this?

I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and now i keep having an old text message that keeps coming back after deleting it, i have tried resetting my settings and closing the messages app to start again, i have yet to try restoring my phone i just want to know if anyone can come up with some alternative, thanks!

Two Photoshop CS4 error messages that recently appeared

I have very recently begun having troubles with Photoshop CS4 on my work computer. I have Photoshop version 11.0.2 and OS X version 10.6.3. The error messages I'm getting are...
Could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
This happens anytime I copy image data to the clipboard from a web-browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) This used to work and now it no longer does. If I save the file in question and open it in Photoshop it works fine, but this is kind of an inconvenience.
Could not build preview because of a problem with quicktime
This error occurs everytime I try to save an image using the "Save for Web & Devices..." dialog.
To my knowledge, I haven't changed anything related to my Adobe software recently. What would make both fo these errors suddenly start happening?

Hm, it's not that old.
But you're right. 10.6.7 update seems to have fixed this issue. Not sure why it cropped up in the first place but glad its gone. Thanks!

Need your help with the following 3 error messages that now appear on my PDF document.

Hi all,
I have been working on a PDF document for university for the last 4 months. Its a PDF document which I have been filling in as I go along and saving without any problems.
Today however I try to open it for work and this is what I get in succession...
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document"
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
"The font 'GTAJBY +Bliss-Regular' contains a bad /BBbox."
This has never done this before and even when I tried to open my backup file it did the same.
Can someone please help me? I have so much work thats potentially lost on this....
(Also, I am not much of a computer head, so please keep it in layman's terms)
Thanks in advance everyone...

I am having same problem with a 2011 year tax PDF fill in form I JUST got from IRS website.

After trying to open the doc (nothing displays) I go to properties, and it says ...

Could send, but not receive SMS messages until today - Can I retrieve the SMS messages that never came in?

I didn't realize until today, but I haven't been receiving SMS messages for two weeks. I'm pretty sure it started when I sent an MMS message. People have been getting my messages, but I haven't received any SMS sent to me. Today I reset my phone and was able to receive an SMS that I asked someone to send.
Is there any way to retrieve the SMS messages from the last two weeks that didn't come in on my phone?
I have a Curve 8900

Hi,
As far as sms r concerned, that were sent to u around 2 weeks ago cannot be retrieved because of the reason that sms do have a time period for being delivered,else r self destroyed.
In other words, suppose a sms has 24 hrs time for delivery and for any reason the sms is not being delivered in that given time period to the specified number, then the sms will automatically get erased/destroyed depending on the netwrok provider.
Sorry for ur loss...
with regards
simply abhik...

When someone sends me a picture as a message it never appears in the messages, but the icon shows there is a message there. I just can't access it. This has been happening since the update.

So since I did the update on my phone, it rarely accepts picture messages. Usually the icon will show there is a message there (mine is up to 4 now), however it doesn't come through and I can't access it. I have tried a soft reset and simply restarting my phone, but it isn't working.

@chritina9,
Let's put an end to this mystery! Let find those picture messages.
Just so I'm clear, you do not receive picture messages at all? You see the message notification but when you check there is no message?
You mentioned this started after the software update. Try removing the SIM card and powering off the phone for a minute. Insert the SIM card and power the phone on. Test, by sending yourself a picture message and see if you receive it. Then have someone else send you a picture message and see if you receive it. Keep me posted.

I've made changes to my site and republished them. Waited two days for changes that never appeared.

I made some changes to my iwebsite and republished them last night about 11pm. It's now 5:18 pm and the changes are not there. iweb was still open and would not close without asking if I wanted to quit the publishing process. How long does it take for changes to happen. Frustrated.

If iWeb is still open (have I corectly understood ?) the changes have not jet been sent.
Be sure you have the backup of the files and force shooting iWeb.
Reopen it and try again.
The time needed with a medium speed connection and few pages to be sent is a matter of few minutes.

HT1688 My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it looks like it goes through but never appears on the straight talk phone

My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it goes through on my end but never appears on the straight talk phone. I'm having to use a secondary app that allows me to send a message that actually appears on the straight talk phone. I now have the iPhone 5 thinking it would fix the problem but it did not, and now that I have the 4G LTE it uses up my internet in a second.

The iPad doesn't do SMS text messges which are necessary to send messges to a regular phone.

Apple Mail 250 MILLION incoming messages (Mavericks)

A few weeks ago I upgraded to Mavericks.
Mail was working great but now I'm having all kinds of problems.
I've seen there are lots of other people having similar problems, but one I have not seen anyone post is...
In the "mail activity" window, below the list of mailboxes, I have a HUGE number of incoming messages.
Today it is up to over 250 MILLION incoming messages!!!!! Not hundred, not thousand but MILLION And the number is still increasing!!
In my different emails I may get a maximum (depending on the day) of up to 150 emails, all of which are already loaded on my computer (I end up deleting the majority of those emails), so how can I have so many emails trying to come in??
Of course, when I open my Activity Monitor, the Mail application sometimes takes up OVER 100% of the processor... making it impossible to work.
I went into my different accounts and deleted the "deleted" emails on the servers. What else can I do?
What can possibly be causing this??
I have several gmail accounts and others on specific domains (linked to websites), all imap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011,
mavericks 10.9.5
8 go ram
Mail 7.3

Yes Eric that does reset it but the numbers quickly start to climb again!!!
At first it says may 10 incoming messages (that would be about normal), but now I'm up to over 50,000 again!!!
There is some sort of duplication going on that was not happening before I upgraded to Mavericks.
I agree with you about feedback. I'm trying to send feedback everyday, until I find a solution.
This problem is keeping me from working since it is using up way too much of the CPU.
Thanks anyway.

Af:inputText validation messages do not appear

Hello. I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0.4306 and I'm having problems with the
error messages that should appear next to a component when validation fails.
I had a JSF page with a few af:inputText without any kind of validation (all
consistency tests were done later, not using JSF features). So I
drag-and-dropped the fields from the Data Controls palette in order to force
that JDev to restore f:convertNumber tags (and maybe other settings). I set the
(af:inputText) "simple" property to false and (f:convertNumber) integerOnly to
true. After that, I tested the application and error messages were correctly
shown next to the components when I submitted letters instead of digits (client
validation is off).
One of the af:inputText had required="true" and did not have f:convertNumber.
When I left the field empty and submitted the form, JSF would fail silently,
without any error messages and without invoking the application. So I added an
af:messages to the page and it seemed to work, the error message went to
af:messages (but not the text field). So I needed to test whether this
af:messages would duplicate the warnings from the other af:inputText and found
out that errors were reported only in af:messages and not next to the
components anymore. This is my problem: I cannot get af:inputText to show the
errors by itself again. Is there a flag somewhere other than simple="false"?
The docs imply that it should "just work", without any setup needed, but it is
not what I am experiencing.
I have not found anything relevant on the web. The closer I got was this bug:
BUG: autoSubmit, validation and message but I'm not using
autoSubmit in any of these text fields.
Even if you don't know how to solve my problem, would you please give me some
guidance to debug this? How would you approach the problem?

More info:
I added an af:message. I suppose I had to set the attribute for (i.e.
for="itNumberOfDays", my af:inputText's name), so I did it. And again, nothing
appeared on screen. Tried with h:message too and got the same result.
I thought this was very weird and then added the following to a PhaseListener
(before RENDER_RESPONSE):
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessages();
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessages("itNumberOfDays");
// plus some code to print the messages
I found out that the message is there indeed, and it is correctly associated
with my input field! Now, what else could I try? Can I step through
af:inputText, af:message or h:message? I'm not sure about how to do that.

Reset your phone--hold the home button and on/off switch for about 15 to 20 seconds, past the prompt to turn off and release when you see the Apple logo.
If this doesn't solve your problem, delete your email account. Reset your phone as above, then reinput your email account.

I'm trying to add my airport express to my network. The airport utility shows a message that its gathering info about my network then suddenly an unexpected error message appears. Why is that?

i'm trying to add my airport express to my network. The airport utility shows a message that its gathering info about my network then suddenly an unexpected error message appears. Why is that?

Until Bob Timmons gets back to you, first decide what you would like the Express to do. I understand you want it for AirPlay remote speakers, which you can certainly do.
I am assuming that you are not using an Apple AirPort router; if that's not the case stop here and let me know.
If your existing router is not an Apple AirPort Base Station, the Express:
can "join" an existing wireless network as a client, for the sole purpose of streaming music. If that's what you want to do, do not connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable.
can "extend" an existing wired network to serve as an additional wireless access point, which can also stream music. If that's what you want to do, connect its WAN port to an available LAN port on your router using an Ethernet cable.
Then, "hard reset" the Express according to the instructions below, and configure it. The prompts should be self-explanatory. If you run into trouble, describe which of the above two configurations you decided upon, and the point at which you're getting the "unexpected problem".
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
