"Mail Activity" messages don't make sense
I see a lot of messages flying by in the lower left-hand corner about incoming messages yet often there are no new messages. Maybe Mail is doing some kind of housekeeping but the messages aren't useful because nothing obvious happens in my inbox.
Are you using an IMAP server? Then surely it is housekeeping you are seeing. I've turned that window off. I find the Activity Window (Command-0) more useful if I want a sense of what is going on.

In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.
It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

It don't make sense then why sell the extra GB for the IPad I paid $100 thinking I use it for the extra storage who sold it to me? I thought it was apple I'll have to re check that!!! I'm disappointed for sure.if ICloud is for backup the why can't you use it for storage too!!!
iCloud is for backup. It cannot magically change your device's hardware or storage capacity.
"If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year." -
CS4 Timeline times don't make sense.
Hi,
I'm working on a sequence that is 00;29;29;20 in length. To me that's 29 minutes and 29 seconds. Those numbers are shown in yellow on the lower left side of the monitor. Those same numbers are also shown in yellow just above and to the left of the timeline. Those times agree with my timeline and the playback time.
Now then, and this doesn't make sense to me....... On the lower right side, and just below the monitor, the white numbers I see show 00;01;50;07 . Isn't that supposed to be the total time for the sequence?
That kind of worries me that only 1 minute and 50 seconds are in the sequence. I did render the entire sequence.
Help please. Tom B.Great news, and glad that we could help.
Jim lists a very good point, and one that I had not contemplated. Besides the WAB, one can set In & Out Points on a Timeline. The bar in the Timeline Ruler then changes density. This is NOT the WAB, but near it. This process has several uses, but most people set those In & Out Points by mistake, usually by hitting the I (eye key), or the O (oh key), when the CTI/Playhead is somewhere other than the 00;00;00;00 point, or the very end of the Timeline. Note: those keystrokes might change, depending on the version of PrPro one is using - but I do not think so). Usually, one then comes to the forum with a question like, "why is the bar above my Timeline changing colors?" or "why can I not Export my full Timeline, though I have the WAB covering the whole thing?"
Good luck, and thanks to Jim for pointing that out too.

Does it make sense to mark an email messages that are in junk mail folder as junk
Hello,
I see that some of email messages that are in my junk mail folder are in different color and marked as junk. However, some emails in the folder are not marked as junk. Most of these unmarked emails are put there because of my rules. The question is: does it make sense to mark these messages (in junk email folder) as spam/junk manualy? Will email spam detection engine learn somethig from it?If the messages are really junk, then mark them as junk. That will help Mail detect similar messages as junk, even if your rules miss them.
If the messages are not junk, but you have set rules to junk them for some other reason, don't mark them as junk. If you do mark them, you may start missing other messages. -
When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
- During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
- With the headphones, everything is ok!
- I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.Hello jam5064,

Number of mail messages does not match the number in mail activity
This is not a big deal but I have noticed that when mail arrives the Mail Activity window tells me how many incoming messages are being downloaded. This number often bears no relationship to the number that arrive. For example it might read 4 messages are downloading when in reality only 1 arrives. If I look at my webmail all messages are listed. Does anyone know what causes these inconsistencies?
I do not have any answer, but I have the same problem. AND the RSS feeds do not make up the difference; and yesterday I disabled junk mail filtering. And I've made certain that I have no unread mail left over. Yet Mail Activity reported downloading 16 messages, but I only received 8. This happens daily, but the proportion of unaccounted emails varies.

hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7. -
Mail activity seemingly stuck on incoming messages
On my Mac at work, My Mail Activity 'window' (the new one under the Mailbox list) continually shows "Incoming Messages", with a progress bar that never gets completed, even when I am not receiving any messages. The number of messages (e.g., '84 of 85', '88 of 89', etc. ) gradually climbs higher and higher. Clicking the "X" does nothing. This starts about five minutes after I load Mail, and doesn't go away, ever. At the same time, the 'old' Activity window (Command-0) shows no activity, except when I am obviously sending or receiving messages. This doesn't seem to affect performance, but it's really annoying. What the heck is this indicator window doing, and why won't it stop? I'm running IMAP, but I access the same mail account at home, with the same OS, and don't see any Mail Activity weirdness at all. Anyone have any ideas?
I am having a similar problem. Mail locked 4/30/2008, all emails vanished, the loading spinners just spin on emails, it says it is downloading, but a few emails in the bar stops moving left, it drops to 0 KB/s, the spinners keep spinning, and it won't download any mail on pop accounts. On accounts with no new mail, they spin and stay spinning, and then it won't allow new accounts that have been taken online to download. There is no apparent way to get them to stop spinning, including clicking the (x) box to the left of the blue download bar. I also then can't quit mail, so must force quit it. I can send test messages between accounts, and sometime they show up on the pop accounts, but the spinners keep spinning, even when it says there is nothing to download. Other functions work during this time, except quitting.
However, for reasons I can't explain, it still does fine with my .mac account, which is my only imap.
I reloaded mail from time machine from a previous day when it worked: didn't help. I did the same with the .plist mail library thing: didn't help. I reloaded all my messages, and at least they are staying put for the moment, but 1.5 days of emails seems to have vanished. Help! I need to have mail working.
I spent 45 minutes with my local internet provider's tech support: they are baffled.
Thanks, Daniel -
IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. How can I change it in mail and messages?
HI,
iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text. I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization. This is really difficult to read for older eyes.yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off "invert color" mode just to switch between
the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
one LIGHT color scheme,
and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
you want to play a game.
and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again. I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option.
I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen.. VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
so I agree completely...
but ya know, they don't listen to us... cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about.... What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues, from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
kind regards,
Tom
