Mail sending, picking up many times (but not really)
We are a school running about 100 Macbook Pro laptops running OS 10.7.5. For a couple of our users we've had the experience that their Mail program seems to go a little bit crazy and makes a whole bunch of picking up (bong) and sending (whoosh) sounds when they haven't chosen to send anything. Looking in the in and out boxes shows that nothing has been sent or picked up. Quitting Mail and reopening it stops the flow of sounds. The laptops have checked out as virus-free with Sophos. It's disconcerting because we have been seeing an increase in spam recently, and specifically with spam claiming to be sent by these two users and received by others staff in our school, but again, nothing in the user's out box.
The many sounds problem has also been reported in the OS 10.6 thread at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3708338?start=60&tstart=0 under the title "I sometimes get the sound of outgoing mail when nothing was sent". I've read the entirety of that thread but the solutions mentioned don't work / apply here.
Has anyone else found a cause for this?
Greetings,
Try selecting the message and Cut it (Command-X) and that should get rid of it. Then select each mailbox individually and choose Mailbox > Rebuild. After all those are done, quit Mail and restart it to see whether or not the message comes back.

Mail sends when on Wi-Fi but not on Edge
Like the subject says, I can send mail out when on my Wi-Fi, but mail will not send when I'm using Edge. I can receive mail while using either though. Any help is appreciated.
ThanksYou can't send with either account?
AOL has an authenticated SMTP server, which should provide for sending with your AOL account when connected to any internet service provider through a Wi-Fi network or when connected via EDGE.
If your school does not have an authenticated SMTP server for your school's email account, you won't be able to send when not connected to the internet at your school.
Most internet service providers (even AT&T with their EDGE network), block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) unless the SMTP server is authenticated. These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain. We can thank low-life spammers for this.
Your SMTP server settings for AOL's SMTP server should be as follows:
SMTP Server: smtp.aol.com
Server Port: 587
Authentication: Password
User Name: Your AOL screen name for the account - or the portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The password for your account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Not sure if AOL supports this with their SMTP server but if they do, you want this selected. -
So when i go to a webpage it shows only some pictures. Nothing on instagram or pinterest. Facebook ok though. An d then i can't download apps that need to be updated or new. I can't restore my magazine purchases. Was happening even before latest software was installed. Have reinstalled the software twice. Have restarted ipad numeroustimes. Nothing. Help!!! Or should i pay for apple support?
Hi...
only when I'm using my home router
Try turning the router off for about 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Same with your Mac.
Then go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now try Safari ...
Tip ... since you are running v10.7 Lion, the only way to reinstall Safari would be to use Lion Recovery. Downloading and installing Safari from the Apple support page will not work on Lion. -

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.
Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion.. -

<Email removed by Host>sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
Mac also is platform and OS.

I bought my iPhone5 4 months ago and now the camera is not working, it only displays black in the screen. I've tried reset, restore for how many times but still the problem is not being resolve. Any help from you Apple team?
There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum. When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.
