IPad Mail messages from Apple mail

New ipad getting 10,000 old messages from Apple Mail application (or Comcast server). How do I stop it and get only new messages as of today?

These are emails stored in the Sent folder in Mail, in 2 email accounts. Some are quite old, some recent. In addition, the Mail Inboxes were emptied, leaving only those emails that had been unopened. Those still on the server (I looked at Get Account Info in mail on different Mac to identify which) were downloaded and are in place in the ipad . In short, those lost were emails received and sent, stored locally on the ipad.
When I did the update, it said there was an error so I had to backup and restore, via itunes. I thought emails would be backed up in this proces. I don't use icloud. Thanks

  • At 3AM, within seconds, there were two attempts at using an "incorrect password" with my AppleID. The message from Apple was that it was probably a harmeless error. Seconds later, the third attempt worked, and that was the last my email has worked.Next???

    At 3AM, there was one attempt at entering my AppleID password, which failed per the email message. A few seconds later, a second attempt failed and the email message from Apple was that it was probably a mistake caused by someone entering a wrong keystroke when trying to enter their own password. Well,, a few seconds later, the message was that I had successfully changed my password. Great.
    Yes, it was a full twelve hours later that I saw this, since 3AM is a perfect time to hijack anyone, and I did do what it said about changing my password. But I want to know how someone changed my password at 3AM and had total access to my whole computer. My security is the highest Apple has.
    Mostly, that was the LAST email I've gotten. I can't bring email online. I can't do anything.
    I am mostly computer ignorant, which is why my daughter made me get an Apple in the first place. I love Apple. Any ideas at all the damage done? This seems like a big hole in Apple email. I am absolutely sure no one knew the password because I used a sequence I have never told anyone. Even my ex-husband of 35 years would have no clue.
    Did someone have to know that password? Is there another way? Well, I guess so.
    Help. Those emails are critical.

    Well if someone got access to your AppleID, they didn't get access to your computer, however, there is some information such as you iCloud information that they may have gotten access to.  If you changed your pasword back to something else, then they won't have access to it anymore either.  I'm not sure what is going on though because I have been getting a lot of those emails on my work AppleID that I have to have for work because I need to keep their phone seperate from all of my personal equipment.  It's just strange though that in the past few days I've been getting like 5 or 6 of those emails stating that an attempt was made to change my pasword a day.

    I recently rented a movie using Apple TV and it said it was going to take 7-14 hours to download so I let it run. I also received a message from apple telling me that there was a request for this movie and they took the funds. But when I tried to find it on my purchases it was not there and when I went back to that movie it was asking me to purchase it again is this common and how do I get it back.

    Not sure what happend there. But ATV only streams, no HD so if you leave it too long, the whole download gets lost.
    Check with iTS.

    It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • Automated messages from Apple in a language I do not speak

    Hi Everyone!
    For two weeks now everytime I connect to iCloud from any of my iOS devices, I get an automated message from Apple saying that I connected to iCloud using that specific device. The problem is that the message comes in French! Who can help me have Apple use English to communicate with me again????
    All my settings in my devices and iCloud have the language set for English.
    Thanks a lot!
    The message is as follows:
    Cher(ère) User,
    Votre identifiant Apple ([email protected]) a été utilisé pour ouvrir une session iCloud et iMessage à partir d’un iPhone 4S appelé « User´s iPhone ».
    Si vous n’avez pas récemment configuré un iPhone avec votre identifiant Apple, il serait plus sûr de changer le mot de passe de votre identifiant Apple.

    Same here. Except I am English and am in Spain and everything comes in Spanish. Just because I am in a country for a while does not mean I speak that language well enough to read all the details...
    APPLE PLEASE DON'T ASSUME THINGS THAT ARE NOT CORRECT!

    Yes, the message is self-explanatory. You need a carrier who supports Apple's activation policy for an iPhone.

  • Ipad mini cycles from apple logo to start screen and wont stop

    Ipad mini cycles from apple logo to start screen and wont stop. Will not shutdown. Cycles every 5-8 seconds. Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem.  Since it's the same problem, I thought I'd pigtail on this thread, rather than clutter up the forum with a duplicate.  I can start a new thread if this is not appropriate.
    I have tried a reset, using the sleep/wake and home buttons, with no success.  I have also restored to factory settings, then restored to backup.  It's still rebooting itself.
    iPad Mini wifi (not Retina).  iOS 7.1.1.
    This problem started today.  I updated to 7.1.1 soon after the update was released.

  • Message from Apple Web Centre

    On 30 May 10.00pm (AET) when I open the Safari, suddenly it came up a message from Apple Web Centre and ask me to delete some files because they got inflection or virus. I didn't do it. Is someone got the same request?

    Do not do anything with that - it is NOT from Apple. It is a scam and a trojan. Get rid of the window. Do not download anything. If it downloads itself, check your computer and delete it. And read these:

  • TS3992 I'm getting messages from Apple that iCloud backup is full but it shows I have 3GB left

    I just started getting emails from Apple that I won't be able to send or receive messages thru my account because I have exceeded my storage capacity. When I go to the iCloud settings and go to manage my storage I see I have 3.1GB remaining. I called Apple and they said I need to clear out my folders in mail. I told her it says I only have 376mb of mail in my backup. She told me I needed to clean out all of my folders, which I pain stakingly did but I get an email this morning telling me I have the same problem with storage but I still show over 3GB left in my storage. Has anyone run into this? What am I supposed to do? I feel they are making me upgrade before I need to.

    I just got the same e-mail.  My account seems to be sending and receiving emails without issue.  I think it was an error.  I received a warning and an exceeds e-mail in the same minute, but am only using 20% of my allocation.
    I'm not giving it much credence. 

  • Why do I have other people I cloud on a brand new iPad bought direct from Apple

    hi
    i bought my husband a new ipad direct from Apple and when we go to set it up it has 2 other peoples iCloud details on it. We don't know who they are and considering its brand new it doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it please. I have tried to get in contact with my supposed contact person at Apple but he has not replied. When I ordered them he told me to contact him for support
    thank you

    as I said something is NOT right
    your iPad is NOT new if it already has an Apple  id attached to it
    try putting the serial # into this genuine Apple Tool
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    and see what it tells you
