Junk mail filter doesn't work all the time

Why doesn't the Junk mail filter work all the time? I click on mail like from Best Buy or Omni Hotels to go into junk mail but hardly any of their mail goes into Junk. Other sites go directly to Junk. If I click on a Best Buy mail to indicate it's Junk, shouldn't that work 100% of the time forever and ever?

The Junk filter is based on an analysis of the content of the message. It ignores the sender. (Filtering based on the sender is an ineffective way of dealing with true spam, since spammers use constantly-changing spoofed addresses.)
If you don't want mail from a legitimate sender like Best Buy, unsubscribe from their ads. If that doesn't work, make a Rule to delete or move the messages.

Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
I am quite confused regarding this.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.

Junk Mail Filter Doesn't Work

I've sent email to myself from my work email address. It always shows up as junk mail no matter ho many times I indicate that it's not.
Three coworkers responded to an email I sent to them from my home account. Two shoed up as junk and one didn't. All three are in my address book. This is despite the fact that the box is check in the Junk Mail Prefs that exempt those in my Address Book from being considered as junk
I've deleted anything related to Junk in my ~/Library/Mail directory
Still broken
Any thoughts?

first of all, do you have another junk mail plug in installed by any chance? if so i would disable it, if not i would then suggest the following: go to mail>preferences>junk mail and disable junk mail filtering then enable it again. then choose either of the first three options (i have advanced checked) and if you choose advanced, then click on the advanced button to check the rule there (i have sender is not in my address book and message is junk mail then move to junk and color brown... but you can have a variety of rules that suit your goals... then after choosing, click ok). then click on the reset button to reset the junk database. then if you have checked "sender of message is in my previous recipient" go to mail>window>previous recipients and get rid of recipients that you want mail to treat as junk.
hope this helps

FullScreen script doesn't work all the time

I am having a problem with this script. Its weird, sometimes I type in a number like 3333 and it will go to the google link like this:
http://www.google.com/maps?saddr=3333&daddr=40.000000,80.000000
Other times I type in the same number and it doesn't work.
Anyone see any problems with the code?
echo "<script language=\"Javascript\">

</script>";

The main problem I see is that it's written in Javascript, and this is a forum about Java, not about Javascript.
I can tell you that in Java there's a method available to URL-encode URL parameter values. For all I know there's one in Javascript too. There should be, in my opinion, but not knowing the language very well I couldn't tell you if there really is one.

IPod touch is tripling my messages from mail. Doesn't happen all the time. Upon checking my mail, all incoming messages will show up at least 3 times.

iPod Touch is showing my mail messages tripled. Incoming messages show up three times instead of as only one message.

I've tried reindexing dozens of times. It never makes a difference. I have another issue today.
I just went through a smart "unread" mailbox of 200 messages. I individually selected all but 4 emails and deleted them all. After they were deleted, I went to my regular inbox to find an old mesage and all the 196 emails I had just deleted were still in there.

Built-in iSight camera doesn't work all the time...?

This started on iChat... When starting a video conference I see a black picture, the green light turns on but my buddy only see's a video of herself and is still able to hear me. I tried opening the audio/video preferences and the preview is still black. I also tried opening photobooth and it shows a black picture as well. This only happens on occassions, it works most of the time but this problem seems to be occurring more often. I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..?

"I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..? "
Please list them. This will avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios when users try to provide you with troubleshooting solutions.
Otherwise, +"since you've tried all the troubleshooting listed"+ then send your computer to your local AASP or contact AppleCare if you are still under warranty.
Tried everything in Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 How to Troubleshoot iSight and this thread my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat?

Wi-fi sync doesn't work all the time

This has been an issue for me ever since wi-fi sync was introduced. My setup is all-Apple: iOS devices, Mac, Airport Extreme router.
I have successuflly set up for wi-fi sync, and it works. The problem is that quite often the device and iTunes don't find each other. I click on the device in the list, click the "Sync" button, iTunes says it's "looking for..." and eventually gives up and removes the device from the list. At this point, it usually requires restarting iTunes AND the device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) to get things going again.
One theory I have is that I would often take a device with me without ejecting it from iTunes, and then when I return they don't reconnect. However, even when I do remember to eject the device before taking it out of range, it's no guarantee.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have the same issue, it works for a while then won't work hardly at all. Then start working again. I wish it would just work like it supposed too. I hear it has trouble with wet or clamy hands but mine are rarely like that. I do work outside with my hands and the are kind of tough and callused up. I wonder if that effects it some. Anyway let me know if you figure out how to make it work reliably
Cheers

Trackpad in bootcamp doesn't work all the time

Hi, so I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro because out of my own stupidity, I destroyed my old one. I decided when I got the new one, that I would BootCamp it and run Windows 7 on a partition. I've been pretty happy with it so far, but occasionally, the trackpad doesn't work. Normally when I reboot into Windows the next time, it'll work. I don't know exactly what is causing it, but the settings within BootCamp tell me that it should be scrolling, right clicking, etc, and it simply isn't.... Any reason why this would be? It shouldn't be the drivers unless this came out with new ones between now and this past Saturday...
Thanks

my magic pad works fine under win8 but to use it I have to click on it first

Control center doesn't work all the time in iOS 8

I have the new iPhone 6+ and have noticed that sometimes I can't pull up control center.
I have to unlock it, then lock it again and then it will pull up. I use this method to access the torch at night.
Also to switch off the torch when the phone is locked, the camera icon could be tapped. However this feature doesn't work anymore.
Now I have to click the home button > swipe up the control center (hopefully it works) > tap the torch icon.
It used to be easier when you could just click the home button > tap the camera icon.
Please fix these issues soon.

You are not addressing Apple here, we are users like you, so we cannot fix these issues. If you would like to tell Apple what your problem is, then you can leave them feedback HERE. Click on the appropriate link.
However, if you want to try and troubleshoot your Control Center issue, then I would go into Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and if that is on, turn it off and back on again. Also, when accessing Control Center from the lock screen, make sure you are starting off of the screen when you begin to swipe upwards. That tends to work better. Sometimes starting on the screen, the finger does not get low enough for it to register.
As far as the flashlight button, I never attempted to turn it off with the camera, I just tapped in Control Center.

IMessage doesn't work all the time

Hi,
I'm using iPhone4S and noticed that recently for the past week, iMessage doesn't work when I text my husband who's using iPhone4.
I tried switchin network (wifi and telco data) but both also doesn't work. Please advise why this is the case and how to fix it.
SMS international is costly.
Thanks.

Ask him to enable his email address to receive iMessages and do the same on yours. It's in Settings > Messages.

Top power button doesn't work all the time

Top power button works intermittently

Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
This is what Apple is going to make you do anyways before deeming it a hardware issue. Go ahead and do these steps, and when you contact Apple, you can let them know you've restored it as a new device and the issue remains. That will reduce your time on the phone with technical support or the time you spend in the store.

"Keep: all unplayed episodes" doesn't work all the time ???

I subscribe to a couple of podcasts. I have my settings set to "Keep: all unplayed episodes". This setting works just fine on 90% of my podcasts, but on two, the only way for podcasts I've of which I've listed to disapper is if I delete them manually. Does anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it? I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, but that doesn't do the trick.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
