IPad Mail app produces empty emails when synched with Yahoo Mail

When I sync my iPad's Mail app with my AT&T/YaHoo web mail account, dozens of identical emails appear in my iPad Mail Inbox. All are marked (No Sender), (No Subject) and "This message has no content" and show 12/31/69 as the "Sent" date. Clicking on them opens a blank viewing page in the right pane with the notation "No Message Selected". They are all marked Unread. When I select Edit in the left pane, no circle appears to the left of these emails so they cannot be selected and moved or deleted. These strange emails do not hinder my use of Mail but their presence aggravates me. I'd like to get rid of them and also find out why they are appearing. I've tried hard booting. This problem is unique to my iPad; Mail works fine on my iMac. Syncing my iPad to my iMac does not get rid of the strange emails. I do not sync to Cloud.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

  • Can't open app store in itunes when connected with ipad

    Hi. Could anybody tell me how I can use app store in itunes when connected with ipad 2? When I click app store, it just gives no response at all. Thanks a lot!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you have the power cable in, it won't show up with the power cable in.
    Additionally, there have been some issues with the update servers, it's possible you won't be able to complete the update procedure anyway.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

    iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later  for iTunes.  Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
    When I check for iTunes version  10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

    I'm having the same problem.
    iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
    I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
    Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
    I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
    Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
    Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
    thanks

  • My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa.  Is there any way to get a true synch?.

    POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

  • Synch with Yahoo Calendar

    BIll

    Try this:

    Instead of signing up for calendar, sign up your yahoo e-mail.  Then go to system prefs>Mail, Calendar and Contacts
    There you can check Calendar and if you wish un-check e-mail.
    Calendar has been syncing with no errors since I did this.
    Success!

  • Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
    Many thanks

    I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
    BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
    For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
    I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

  • How can I get my ipad Pages app to keep video when converting to epub file?

    I am trying to create a epub file to be opened in  Ibook using Pages on the IPad. I have inserted a video and when I go to export to Ibooks it gives me a warning that video has been converted into an image.  I have created this same video on a desktop computer and been able to email and open it in IBook on my IPAD.
    Is there a way to have video embedded on the IPAD Pages app to be able to be published as an epub and be able to be opened later.
    Cassy Mate

    I'm wondering about this also. Even when importing very small videos it converts into pictures... Hope someone can shed some light on this matter for us!

  • Problem using iPad to receive and send emails when not at home

    I am unable to send or receive emails from any outside wifi location like Tesco / ikea but once home there is not a problem. Messages reads "Server unable to respond" I was wondering if it is a security issue ?

    Greetings
    I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
    When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
    So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
    If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
    Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well. 
    (A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

    Hi sjeure,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend restarting and resetting your device to see if the unexpected app closing still happens:

  • Aspect ratio of iPad mirror is not 4:3 when mirrored with Apple TV

    Hi Everyone - I have just bought an Apple TV 3 and installed the device yesterday. I am using an LG HDTV and an iPad3. Everything works fine except one thing: When I mirror my iPad in landscape on the TV it appears with a wrong aspect ratio. This means I am NOT seeing a 4:3 picture of my iPad content on the screen, it rather looks like a 1:1 ratio. So the picture is "pressed together" from the left and the right. Any ideas how to solve the problem?
    Before you answer - I am not talking about the black bars that appear when you mirror the 4:3 iPad on a 16:9 TV screen. This is not my problem and I know that black bars will appear eventually. I just do not get the proper aspect ratio of the iPad 4:3 on the TV screen - it rather appears as a square on the screen. This is only when I select mirroring - using airplay to see movies, youtube etc work perfectly fine.
    Thanks very much for the help.

    I have now reset my TV but unfortunately the problem remains. I also do not have the possibility to set the horizontal / vertical stretch of the TV when the input signal is via HDMI - so also no option.
    I could actually live with the wrong ratio presentation when mirroring the iPad.
    What I find really annoying is that my photos do not scale properly. When I start a slideshow on Aple TV from the iPad, the photos, which have been taken in a 2:3 aspect ratio, do not come up properly on the TV screen. They are pressed together from the sides, so people are too thin (well - some may like it but that is a different topic ).
    Apple TV works totally fine with all other applications, ie YouTube videos. These are presented perfectly! This is why I think it has something to do with how photos are sent to Apple TV - this must be different from videos and maybe somewhere there is the reason.
    If you have any other ideas I would appreciate your help. Thanks

  • Random duplicate events when synching with Google

    Hi,
    I have just set up iCal for the first time and asked it to synch with my Google Calendar.  Somewhere between the two systems I have had hundreds of duplicate events set up.  The problem seems to only occur on recurring events.  The new events are sprinkled liberally all over my calendar with no hint of when the original even was set up for.  For example one event occurs at least twice a week from January 1920 onwards, in my original calendar this was set up as an annual recurring event only last year.
    When I try to delete the events I am told the request has failed with the following message:
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 500 Server error code: 4bf55f72”
    to operation CalDAVDeleteEntityQueueableOperation.
    Also I frequently find the synching circle is running round and iCal just stops working i.e. can't enter new events or check my calendar.
    Any advice gratefully received!
    Jane

    Hi Jane,
    You are getting errors from the Google Server.  This suggests there are issues with the data contained within Google and not in iCal so there may not be much we can do from here.  I would be curious to know if you go to one of those recurring events on Google, does it have an end date or does it go on forever?  Does it have a start date that is odd (you mention 1920...are you sure that you don't see a very early start date on Google.com?)
    That said lets try some basics:
    What version of the Mac OS are you running on your computer (Apple Menu > About this Mac)?
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • Duplicates when synching with gmail

    I had been having a problem with duplications of contacts. When migrating my contacts from Address Book to GMail, the initial migration happens without error. Groups appear as they should and the entries within them are correct. When synching after the migration, though, iSync reports that there will be many duplications and quite a few deletions. The problem seems to be that the iSync is not noticing that duplicate contacts are within groups, and instead iSync wants to duplicate them yet again OUTSIDE the groups. In other words, everything gets screwed up when synching after the initial migration.
    I'm synching contacts Address Book, Mobile Me, a Blackberry (via Missing Sync) and GMail.
    Thanks for any help.

    Killed all the Google contacts again, uploaded the contents of my Address Book and the next sync attempted wanted to add 144 contacts and modify 352 of them. When I checked the ones the sync dialogue wanted to modify using the before/after switch, it was claiming that the Address Book entries only had one line in them, usually just the name, when I checked the actual entry it had every field filled out, name, address, telephone numbers etc. What gives?

  • Confusion when Synching with an old I-Pad

    Hi Folks,
    I bought an I-Pad and synched up my I-Tunes account with it. I returned the I-Pad because of a defect and got a new one. I synched up the new I-Pad with my I-Tunes account. Different serial numbers.
    Now, when I try and synch it appears that I-Tunes is confused as to what I-Pad it should be synching with.
    Is there a way to remove all existence between the old I-Pad serial number and I-Tunes.
    Thanks a bunch!

    The problem I have is when I hook up my I-Pad to my I-Tunes on my desktop I'm asked whether I would like to synch with my backup (I'm assuming my old I-Pad) or if I would like to restore to my new I-Pad.
    When I go into Preferences/Devices, I don't even see any reference to my old I-Pad. I only see my new one.
    Thanks.
