IPhone tethering and Mail app

I'm not sure where this problem in originating so am posting to 3 forums - my apologies to those on all 3!
During the past week, my iPhone, which is my only internet connection, has been draining its battery - over and over again. The only unusual activity I've seen has been in Mail, where the spinning "getting mail" icon appears constantly. I've shut down all my browsers, chats, etc. except for Mail. I've of course shut down Mail periodically to recharge the phone. The phone is fine - it recharges quickly as long as Mail is not open. I've decreased how often Mail checks for new messages (from the "every 1 minute" which it's been set on for months).
The final straw was getting a note from Rogers that I've exceeded my 6 GB data total for the month - which started on the 12th. I'm now at 8.4 GBs and have NOT - absolutely NOT - downloaded anywhere near that amount of data. The phone reached 6 GB only slightly over 24 hours ago, so something is obviously drastically wrong.
Since I can't tell if the problem is with the phone, Mail itself or with MobileMe, which is where all my accounts but one reside (forwarded from the actual accounts) I'm posting this to all three in the hopes that someone can help me. I'm going broke!! The extra charges are already $100 and rising and I still have over 2 weeks to go before the time resets!

So do the following: For Safari, delete ALL pages but a blank page, then go into Settings>Safari>Clear History>Clear Cookies>Clear Cache. Then, Settings>Notifications, make sure it is set to "OFF". For your Mail Apps, turn off push & make sure fetch is set to "Manually".
My problem with excess data is for the tethering data, not the data on the phone itself but the above is good to know, and I'll do both. Thanks!
Once done, Reset your phone, you won't lose any data or settings, but this will kill anything that might be running in the background:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
Interesting. I've never ignored the power off slide and didn't know you could. I'll have to give it a try. Does it result in something different that when you use the slide?
I have reset the phone a few times since this issue arose, by the way but never by ignoring the slide. According to Rogers (my service provider) Tech Support the issue is with my computer, not my phone, so I'm going to try your initial suggestions on my laptop as well. Where I can, obviously, since the laptop doesn't have push.
Thanks for the advice!

Mail with iPhone 4 and Mail.app

How can I get my mail on my Mac to "mirror" my mail on my iPhone. Whenever I use it on one, it doesnt work on the other and it doesnt do the changes I made to it with the other device. My email is a Windstream POP server. HELP!!!!

You reset the phone. This wipes everything off from your mom.
Then go to http://www.apple.com and set up your own Apple ID and password.
Go back to the iPhone and enter your ID and password and the phone will not be under your mom.
Good Luck

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?

Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?
Whenever I try to type in my information to my Mail app it will not verify my gmail account- it says my username/password is incorrect when it isn't.
Please help!

it may be a two part security verification. contact the email provider and see if you need a special password.
some users find simply changing the password resloves the issue.
heres a helpfull article

HT201210 safari and mail apps will not open

Hello, after I updated to 6.1.3 on my iphone 4 everything worked fine, till I rebooted my phone, now all of a sudden my safari and mail apps do not work. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Everytime I try and restore my iphone i get: The phone "Justin's Phone" could not be restored. This device isnt eligilbe for the requested build. I even reverted to my last saved back up (this back up was on June 13) and a back up from december 2012 and the safari and mail app still do not work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you all for your help,
Justin

Hello Justin,
I would recommend taking a look at steps 4 and 5 in the article below.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
If your issues persist, then you may need to restore the iOS software.

App store and Mail app are crashing in my mac air 10.9.5

All my apps are crashing and i am not able to open any of them . App store for Software update and Mail app, Photos app are all crashing. I have OS X 10.9.5 in my system. I removed Parallels trail version and also Clean My Mac app, Still i have the issue,Please help me to resolve the issue,

"CleanMyMac" purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

Godaddy and mail.app

hello,
i've been having some troubles for a while and looking for any magical advice. i have a hosting/email package with godaddy that i'm happy with except their outgoing mail server which never works reliably for me (hit or miss). i have tried all i know how (call in support, all the various ports, etc.) and never resolved it. i have tried to use my local isp servers and they're not much better. as a note gmail is very reliable for me so i can have accounts that work well. is there any known issue between godaddy and mail.app or any other info someone might have that can help me? i'm not located in the us if it helps. if the answer is godaddy's outgoing servers are not good which i have heard does anyone have a recommended option? i need to use my own domain and not a gmail account and anyways i don't particularly like the way gmail works but their reliability i can't complain. i'm thinking also there might be some kind of outgoing server i can sign up for even pay if it will work with my godaddy mailboxes. any thoughts and thanks so much,
rick

thanks for the replies. yes that seems to work the best but unfortunately in my case not quite good enough. i was never able to fully resolve the issue even after much help from godaddy. all i could do was switch my outgoing server to someone else. but i will gladly try it again one day hoping it might work a bit better for me.
thanks,
rick

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

Hey Tfromon,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you have an app that seems to be stuck on “Waiting," and the following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Exchange and mail.app

Has anyone had this issue with a MS Exchange server? On a Mac I am able to send mail out to any email address using Outlook Web Access but using the same exchange server with a POP account and Mail.app I cannot send mail outside the school district(@af.k12.wi.us). When I try, I get "The message could not be appended to the Outbox".
Is this a problem with the Exchange server setup or Mail.app account? How do I fix it?

We also use Intermedia.net and I've yet to get mail.app and Exchange to work together. The KB and support offer very little more than what you see posted here already. The "Mail for Mac OSX" are not even close to being accurate for our dedicated hosting plan (we don't have mail.domain.com type names).
Mail.app doesn't give you much to go on either... I plug in the information and it just never connects or never goes online. If I open up the Activity window I see it try and connect but then just drops the connection. No failed password or other error message.
Anyone else have any experience with Intermedia or success with Exchange?

I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?

I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

Safari and mail app not working on my iPod Touch 3rd generation.

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation and my safari and mail app won't work and it's driving me crazy! My safari app keeps crashing when I open it so that's not working, and my mail app opens up but doesnt load then crashes. Can somebody tell what to do?!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Outlook categories in iPhone calendar and contact apps

I bought an app Camera and it is installed in both IPhone4S and mini IPad, now I have also one IPhone 5s and this app doesn't look like I have purchased it yet.

I bought an app Camera+ and it is installed in both IPhone4S and mini IPad, now I have also one IPhone 5s and this app doesn't look like I have purchased it yet.
If I want to install I have to buy it again. Please, somebody has some advise?
Thank you.

Sorry, maybe I didn't express myself well.
I have the same Apple ID in the 3 devices, iPad mini, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5s. In the 2 first the app camera+ is installed, but it is the unique app that doesn't show up in my purchased items in the iPhone 5s. If I want it I have to buy again. I really didn't understand what happened that I can't install it free again.
Thank you.
