Mail 3.5 has stopped downloading gmail messages..

I can't figure out what is going on, settings are correct, but gmail messages can no longer download in Mail. It started a few days ago with only one message being downloaded at a time. I would have to repeatedly click the "get mail" button to get all of my messages. Now, nothing will download, and I know I have a backlog of messages. Again, the settings are all correct.
Anyone have ideas? I'd prefer to do mail in Mail, not connect via Safari.
thanks,
max

Max,
Are you accessing your Gmail account as POP or IMAP? If POP, then quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail and locate the file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and remove it either by deleting or dragging from the folder. Relaunch Mail, and see if there is any improvement. Given the peculiarities of Gmail POP access this may not work if Gmail thinks you have already downloaded the messages. If so, then a setting with Web browser access may be needed.
More info, please.

Mail App stopped downloading new messages from Gmail

I'm using MBP with OS X Lion.
I've been using Mail App for my two Gmail accounts. I also use two different types of mail downloading systems (POP and IMAP) for them. For some reason, the speed of downloading new messages started slowing down a few weeks ago; however, I could still use it until today. Today, it seems like it is completely out.
It just stopped downloading new messages completely.
For the POP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “POP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 995 timed out.
For the IMAP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “IMAP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 993 timed out.
The weird part is that I can still send an email out of those accounts fine.
I checked the settings for Gmail, and everything seemed just fine.
I tried to re-do everything so deleted the IMAP account. Now it shows the message below:
The Google IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
I tried Connection Doctor and it shows as below:
I followed the suggestion by changing unchecking those boxes for SSL, but it didn't help either.
I tried "Rebuild" under mail box menu bar but it also didn't do anything.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thank you in advance.

By the way, my Mail App is version 5.3

Mail 2.1 recently stopped downloading messages from POP server

Hi there,
I am struggling with this one.
My mail has previously been workoing no problems, through a POP server (doctors.net.uk)
Since 26/06/06 it has stopped downloading messages from the server.
I can send mail from Mail no problem and it appears on the server.
The system preferences/network is fine.
The connection Dr tells me that it can access the account no problem.
The SOCKS proxy is not enabled.
I even altered the POP account preferences to delete all messages from the server older than 1 month (previously not enabled) whic it duly did without problem.
When I click get mail, it spins, there is no error message, but no new messages appear.
I have followed this with my POP account service who insist all is fine at their end.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try this in case the problem is that Mail is actually downloading the messages but they are being incorrectly processed by the rules:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
Note however that, if you want to test this with messages already on the server, you need to also remove the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file again.

ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message

3ZENcast Organizer Has Stopped Working Error Message+ Hi
Please could somebody give me some assistance with the following problem, I have looked through the posts but cannot find anything on this problem.
A couple of days ago I have tried to open ZENcast Organizer on my computer and got the following error message:
''Creative Zencast has stopped working. A program caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'.
It would not open up ZENcast Organizer and just closed the program.
I thought there may have been a problem with the program, so I unistalled it etc. and then went to the ZENcast website where I downloaded and installed the newest version which is 2.0.0.
After restarting my computer etc, I tried to access the program but just get the same error message as above.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 and have the 32GB Zen.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards
Wayne

I have the same system. I am getting the same with ZenCast, although it seems to work more often when I ignore the shortcut and go through the start menu. Strange but seems to work.
Also on Creative MediaSource 5 Organizer I am getting issues with it stopping after 2 songs and giving me the same error.
I am going to try to re-install with software from the website. I had used my disk that came with my Zplus because I thought based on what I read here that it was ready to go.
Will let you know if it gets better or not.

What happens after you select an app to be downloaded direct with your iPhone? Any error message provided? Does the download begin but is not completed? Are you able to download apps with iTunes on your computer?
You need to provide some detailed info.

ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. Why?!

For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS. I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer. iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups. It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me". Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do? Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

Can't install iTunes 11 on Widows 8, 'iTunes has stopped working' error message

Two months ago, I bought a new computer that uses Windows 8. I was running iTunes 10.6 on it fine until today, when it crashed for some unknown reason. Every time I've tried to open it again, I kept on getting a 'iTunes has stopped working' message. I've uninstalled 10.6 and tried installing iTunes 11, but keep getting the same 'iTunes has stopped working' error message with no other details. I've tried installing it as an administrator, but got same failed results.
Any help?
Thanks, Mike

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

First quit and restart Mail and see if the sound returns. BTW it is selected in Settings > Sounds correct?
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If that doesn't work try a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

CS6 Design and Web Premium trial has stopped downloading at 4,558 MB

My CS6 Design and Web Premium trial has stopped downloading at 4,558 MB. It says it will take around 24 hours to download, but nothing is happening. Has anyone else had a problem with this? How do I get it going again?

The default location is your User folder I believe this is what you are referring to as your home folder? Your user folder should be the correct folder to download to.
You can also try the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.
