IOS7 update - it reset all my emails to unread

I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 today but it reset all my emails in the Mail app to being unread, even the ones not downloaded to my phone. How can I change it so it only thinks new emails are unread? I know about the 'Mark All' then 'Read', but that only does a handful of messages at a time. It thinks all the emails in my account - thousands of them - are unread. Since the phone only fetches a certain number of emails at a time, it would take forever to fetch them all to my phone, and I don't want all of them locally anyway.
Thanks!

Same here but weird. I have 4 POP accounts set up and no iCloud email, gmail, yahoo, etc... They are all my own domain POP accounts.
At first, it said 11,000 unread emails in my "All Inboxes" box. Selected ALL and mark as "read". It cleared most of them out, but one account still remains with 4,000 unread emails. All of the accounts are hosted by godaddy, and they are all set up using the same settings, but for some reason, it is still seeing the one account as all unread.
Interesting development though... Here is what my account list looks like when I go to email app:
All Inboxes               4,053
Email A                   4,053
Email B
Email C
Email D
Email A will not clear unread emails. I deactivated Email A, and then I got...
All Inboxes                2,341
Email B                    2,341
Email C
Email D
And now Email B won't clear. I re-activated Email A after a hard restart, and now I have...
All Inboxes               4,053
Email A                   4,053
Email B
Email C
Email D
AGAIN! Email A won't clear but Email B is now clear again. It appears that the first email box in the hierarchy is the one that will not clear unread messages. WEIRD!
Obviously a bug that needs to be worked out and no solution because of settings. Hopefully bug guys read this and get it sorted out.
Another question - it didn't download ALL of these emails to my phone did it?? Thats the most important! Had it originally set to 100 most recent emails per account.

Update is resetting all data on phone to blank?

Model 6500s-1/Type - RM-240/Nokia PC Suite ver 7.1.62.1 software
I am told by the service people that once you update the phone's software, it resets all the data on it: contacts, messages and files (calendar notes fo all kinds)/
My big question is: IS THIS TRUE?
If so, then what's the use of it? Pray tell!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From the FAQs:
The FAQ is contradictory somewhat:
In some models,
and
"... updating erases, but it warns you... "
"If you use your device to update its own software, user data is not deleted."
OK, so let me get this straight.
If I update the ph on its own, it's ok w data, while in some cases, when updating and the data will be erased, the software is warning about it (again, from the FAQs ), so you get an escape chance.
Now, when updating the Suite, once you connect it to the ph, it updates the ph, and so the danger of erasing data is there (in the appropriate cases)?
Is that correct?

Updated yesterday and all my email personalized folders do not appear.

Imagine my surprise when I went to look for an email in Outlook and there were no personal folders. Where are they?

Hi,
What's update you installed yesterday?
You can check whether we can import the previous ost file to get them back:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Or if you have create a separate ost file when you configure Outlook, you can locate the file under where you put it.
Also, you can try the ost file repair tool:
Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost)

Restored my iPad marking all old emails as unread

I restored my iPad. Now my hotmail email account is downloading all my old emails and marking as unread. Is there any way to stop this? Thanks

I am having a very similar problem on my E71 on v400 firmware.
Sycing still works but since yesterday lots of old emails from various dates in various folders have become showing as unread. Giving me a notification on every sync for about an hour as more and more mails were marked as unread.
I'm currently going through the mails and marking them as read and hoping this doesn't happen again.

Iphone 4s performance very poor after iOS7 update

Hi Guys,
I just thought i'd post my experience on my iphone 4s...
First of all the phone is approx 18 months old.
The phone was perfect until I updated to the popular IOS7 update, cough!!!!
Heres what's happening...
iPhone probs since IOS7 update
First of all the phone never missed a beat until ios7 update. Please don't insult me apple and tell me that this is a coincidence.
-Batt perc poor accuracy readings, sticks on amount for long period until reset, thereafter reads incorrect again. Last week was reading 93% but was actually flat.
-Batt can read low, phone freezes, reboots on its own & batt will then read at a higher perc.
-Phone freezing and rebooting on its own intermittently, either has to be physically switched on (from black screen) or white apple appears & it switches itself on.
-Select msgs or email - white screen appears only.
-Have to reset phone on numerous occasions due to lack of or no response.
-After reset all messages, emails, notifications etc come in all at once
-Will get bulk messages, even from same people.
-Will not open messages or email at times, poss due to signal loss while phone shows still signal bars (States switch in wifi or network)
-Loss wifi all the time, doesn't work at all now. (oddly it worked again in the apple store which left me really baffled?)
-Search for email now poor
-App Store search poor, loading poor
-Alarm clock not working at times
-Switching off on its own
-No response from screen at times and accassional delays when it does work
-Battery drain excessive, even when not being used! I have switched any hidded consumers off
-Very jaggy/not smooth in operation at times
-Opening app, settings etc take too long. An app might 'blink' i.e. Flash off then back on.
-Wifi on at access screen but switched off in settings and therefore can not select on option
There could be a battery issue here but only since ios7 update has this all came into play. I used to really like the phone and enjoyed using it.
I was at the apple store yesterday and the guy showed me that my battery was borderline 79 -80% condition (orange).
He mentioned that there also may be software issues so I am now going to carry out a full retore from new,and post back during the week.
If a company from any technical background that deals with software, and hardware, and the the system or particular part of the network/system/hardware lays down, then you must stand by it.
I am due an update apple if you're listening, but if a battery is going to last only a year and a half or less then I very well may take my chances with another manufacturer. I just can't be bothered with hassle and the thought in my mind waiting on the phone battery failing at some time.
I understand the technology behind it all but maybe apple need to look at the consumption side of things more than the makng a stronger battery. Maybe consider a secondary system using small second battery or solar, with temperature regulation of some sort. Another approach would be to have a primary system (for calls, texts and maybe limited internet) and a secondary system (for apps etc etc) simply controlled by a type of switch/relay/regulator i.e. if the battery drops below 25% you will not get to use secondary systems keeping your phone usable in terms of making calls, which the mobile phone was intended, remember!!!!
I called my phone network company and they said they would cover the bill for a new battery as the guy in apple store suggested would fix the powering issues.
P.S. I emailed apple about this last week, got an auto response stating we'll get back to you in 24 hours, and guess what, they didn't.

I have a similar problem. I have an iPhone 4s that was working perfectly. Almost immediately upon upgrading to iOS7 I noticed that the battery began to drain much quicker. This morning when I tried to recharge the battery it would not recharge. I followed brad805's suggestions. When I took it to the Genius Bar they attempted to remove the battery and directly power the phone from a cable and that did not work. The phone is now completely dead and because it is past the one year warranty period, there is little that the people at the Apple Store can do to help me. I took very good care of the phone when I owned it and there were no incidents to the phone in the time since I upgraded to iOS7. I strongly believe that the upgrade to iOS7 is the contributing factor to this phone failure.
Is there a mechanism to register a complaint with Apple? I understand that phones fail from time to time but based on the posts I am seeing on the internet, I fear that there are additional instances like mine.

All my emails from my hotmail account keep coming to my phone, how can I stop them coming through?

After recently updating my iPhone, all the emails from my hotmail account keeping coming through on my phone. I have opened all the emails from that account so I don't understand why they keep coming to my phone unopened. Also I have tried deleting and re-adding the email account a number of times but it still won't stop sending them through. How can I stop this?

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

I would like to update or upgrarde my iphone from 4.2 to 5.0 or higher how can I do this task A. my phone does not have a "update" setting I was told to reset all the settings to new B. will this earase all my contact, files ,notes emails ??? C.

I want to update or upgrade my iphone 4 to 5.0 or 6 higher how can I do this ? I my unable to sign into Itunes I was told to reset all the settings to "factory" If I reset evevything ,will I loose all my contacts, emails, notes, or any other information that I have saved into my phone (photos, apps, emails, ) Just as if I had a brand new phone ? I am not very experience with computers or high tech devices I would have a difficult time uploading on my computer or tranfering data

Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

My ipad logs me out of every site if my screen turns off. It also clears all history. Even some of my email accounts won't let me send mail. Ever since the ios7 update, I am frustrated daily! How do I fix these problems?

I have iphone 4, uploaded iOS7. Only some of my emails are transmitted to my phone. They all show up on my computer but only some show up on the phone. Sometimes the emails on the phone delete before I can even read them. Any thoughts?

I have iphone 4 , updated to iOS 7 and had to reset phone, lost many contacts. Fixed a duplication problem on contacts. Now the problem is with email, I have a cox account, icloud account. I can send myself a test message and I always get it on the phone. I do not consistently obtain other emails, yet all the emails show up on my home computer. Do I have my settings messed up?

OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish!

I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

My screen is not rotating, I would like to know if it is because of the Ios7 update or if a sensor on the hardware got screwed, I called att and they don't want to do anything exept tell me to reset everything and I already called apple and didn't help

Hello, to everyone, I'm going to get straight to the point. I have an iPhone 5 and I got it on march, apple wont give me a new phone cause I broke the screen and I replaced it my self. There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought, but after I updated to ios7 I have been having loads of problems. My latest is that my screen wont rotate at all in any app or messages or pictures, you get the picture. I was wondering if there is maybe a sensor that could be broken that I can replace or if it is defenatly the software update. Apple told me to restore my phone to new and I did, but that is not working. When I reset it to new, it also comes with the new software update if you know what I mean. I can't get away from the dumb update. Anyway my mom's phone is working perfectly and she didn't get the ios 7 update. If anyone can help it would be apreciated. Maybe if it is the update we can all contact apple and yell at them^.^

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

After updating my phone, all my old emails in the sent folder are gone. Can I retrieve them?

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
If the issue persists, delete the email account then add it back.

HT1694 Where is the setting in IOS7 to set the number of emails. In IOS6 I had it set to 100, but now I have over 500 with the update

After upgrading to IOS7 my email is no longer limited to 100 as I had previously set it. I now have over 500 and can't find the limit setting anymore.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I am having the same problem, only I have over 2,000 emails now showing up. I used to only get 200. I never did set that figure up in my phone, it change with software updated. 2 upgrades ago, the phone only carried 100.
Maybe Apple is now letting all our email through.

Since the IOS7 is installed i cant delete apps. 1/I hold the app till it wiggles but the cross does not appear; 2/ i could not delete it through i-tunes; 3/ i tried resetting the ipad-settings/general/reset/all then i get a restrictions password request?

Since the IOS7 is installed i cant delete apps. I tried the following with no result:
1/I hold the app till it wiggles but the cross does not appear;
2/ i could not delete it through i-tunes;
3/ i tried resetting the ipad through "settings/general/reset/all" then i get a restrictions password request whih i have no clue what it is (its not my unlock code)?
Is this a bug related to IOS 7 - I just installed the latest update also with no effect.
(I'm new to apple so any simple to understand advice is appreciated as my kids have added so many apps i can't add my music)

It appears that you have restrictions turned on in settings that prohibit app deletion. Is your iPad a personal possession or does it below to the company you work for?
