Mail set for manual checking but checks automatically

I am getting very annoyed with Mail since 'upgrading' to Lion and iCloud back in February
I have Mail General Preferences set to "Check for new messages manually", yet it checks my .Mac address automatically.
I have all my email accounts unticked for including "when automatically checking for new mail", yet it checks  just my .Mac address automatically. This points to the problem being something to do with iCloud rather than with the new version of Mail that comes with Lion.
Not so annoying when I have the sound switched off but very annoying when I have the speakers on and it interrupts what I'm listning to. Sometimes it even makes the noise when there doesn't appear to be any new email.
Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, have you found a way to stop it?

Same problem here after migrating from Snow Leopard to Lion & MobileMe to iCloud. I haven't found any answers online.

  • Can we set the Manual Price Entry check in a pricelist ?

    Hi,
    When using SBO's own import tool to update a pricelist based on another pricelist, I noticed that in those cases where the imported price happens to be the same as base price x factor, the manual price entry check box does not get set.
    So I figured that I would quickly build my own pricelist update tool, using the DI_API, but I can't seem to find any documentation or examples about setting the Manual Price Entry.
    Is it even possible? If so can anyone tell me where to look? If not, can someone explain to me why not?
    Regards,
    Johan

    Hi Gordon,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me try to explain the challenge (problems do not exist, right?).
    This functionality is not actually original, "in the good old days" the Manual Price Entry check would always get set whenever you typed in a price, or updated it by import. Current behaviour appears to be since version 2007.
    Now you are right, that at least at first glance it is only logical that the system behaves as it does now. However, consider our scenario:
    I show all my active items (about 6000) with a base price, in an internet store for registered B2B customers. Each customer has been offered specific prices for tailored selections of products (about 100 - 200). These specific prices are not dynamic. So I create a pricelist per customer, and base it on our base pricelist. Then I import the selection into the new pricelist with the agreed prices.
    Prices in the base pricelist may of course fluctuate on a daily basis, but the prices of the selected items should remain the same. Setting the Manual Price Entry check accomplishes this.
    Imagine my surprise and dismay when I discovered that this method all of a sudden no longer worked, and now I am expected to manually scroll and click my way through each pricelist (about 100, and growing, which contain all 12000 items), and compare it to the relevant selection list, or alternatively I need to import my active items into each separate customer's Special Prices list, and maintain them all whenever an item is dropped or added to the active items. Not to mention that that would pretty much double the size of our database (which is already more than 60 GB).
    Hence my question.
    Kind regards,
    Johan

    Hi,
    not necessarily for get and put methods, but for queries, entry-processor and entry-aggregator and invocable agent sending, you can make the sent filter or aggregator or entry-processor or agent implement PriorityTask, which allows you to make QoS expectations known to Coherence. Most or all stock aggregators and entry-processors implement PriorityTask, if I correctly remember.
    For more info, look at the documentation of PriorityTask.

  • Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

    I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes.
    The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).
    I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!! 
    I just downloaded the iTunes program.
    Very confused, pleaseee help ...

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Accidently closed a Acrobat X Standard file without saving it, autosave is on, set for 5 minutes, but where do I find it?

    Accidently closed a Acrobat X Standard file without saving it, autosave is on, set for 5 minutes, but where do I find it?

    Hi Michael,
    That is not how the autosave feature works. Autosave helps in situations where program crashes/freezes or power goes out (basically, in situations where user have no control over the system). Closing the file without saving is not considered as unexpected interruption; it is intentional for most of the users.
    When you close, save manually, or revert to the last-saved version of a file, the autosave file is deleted. Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Saving PDFs

  • If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you add playlists?

    If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you create and add playlists to the ipod?

    Thanks! I have several ipod books and they told me about manually updating songs but not playlists. That tutorial is VERY helpful. I assume that if you manually update the playlist, all the songs contained in it would have had to been previously manually updated to the ipod....to say it another way, updating the playlist does not transfer any songs. Am I correct?

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

    As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

    The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
    Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

  • RSS feeds update automatically, even though set for manual-only checks

    The only time I want new feeds nagging at me is when I have time for scanning blogs. i.e., I click:

    I've set the RSS preferences to check manually, but I'm finding that the RSS feeds update intermittently and become a distraction. Is there anything I can do?

  • Set one mail account set to manual fetch, but now autofetches automatically

    I have a iPhone 3GS and upgraded to OS 4 the other day. I have four email accounts on my phone. I have three set to autofetch every 15 minutes and the fourth account (which is email I use for spam and to sign up for stuff) is set to manually retrieve. I just don't want to be notified everytime I get some crap email. Wasn't a problem prior to the OS 4 update. It would check everytime i opened up the email app, but not otherwise.
    I have the settings the same as before with other accounts set to fetch every 15 minutes and the account (a Yahoo acct) set to manual fetch only. I also make sure that the email app is closed (i.e. not running in the background as OS 4 allows.) Still, it seems to fetch like all the others and is incredibly annoying.
    Any fixes?

    I am also having an issue with my iPhone 4 mail client.
    Prior to upgrading to the 4 from my 3GS, the Mail app would only download new mail when prompted to manually (ie, on app launch or on manual check).
    Currently, all settings indicate that mail is set to fetch only manually, yet is downloaded 100% of the time without prompting when launching any of the following apps:
    Yelp
    Phone
    iPod
    It launches intermittently with any of the following apps (between 50% and 75% of the time):
    Facebook
    Photos
    Camera
    Tron
    Breakspin
    Wikipedia
    Messages
    The mail app also randomly downloads intermittently, without any prompting from myself as a user.
    I have checked, rechecked, and triplechecked the settings. Push is off, fetch is set to manual in all applicable locations, and I have rebooted and reset the phone. I've even gone so far as to restore from a backup, to no avail.
    My accounts are checking from MobileMe and from a personal (non-Yahoo, non-AT&T) e-mail account.
    This is, needless to say, most frustrating.
    Apple, any chance of a bit of feedback, here?

  • OS X 10.6.8 FF35.0 Prefs set for update inform but 35.0.1 downloaded automatically Why? How to abort?

    I always have "Check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" selected in the Update preferences. FF35.0. still downloaded and began install 35.0.1 process automatically without permission.
    This has happened occasionally in the past, but usually the manual process works properly. How can I abort the automatic process once the download is underway?

    <blockquote>
    It is possible to close Firefox before the update is applied.
    Please make sure that updates are configured the way you want them to be: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
    </blockquote>
    As indicated in my original post, I have the "Check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" option selected in the FF Update preferences. And my Mac OS prefs are set to automatically request an administration password before a manual install, but this was by-passed by the auto-update.
    The auto-update caught me by surprise -- I had several FF tabs on the go when the update process started, and by the time that I realized it was installing and not just downloading, the process was well underway.

  • Can I have automatic e-mail setting for ADDM and AWR reports??

    Can I have Automatic e-mail settings for all my AWR and ADDM reports so I don;t have to run the reports all the time but they can be sent over to my mailbox and I can review them, if at all I can do that then can I bound them to a particular time frame where I can recieve only those reports durin the peak usage of my database.
    thanks

    Hi Rohan,
    Can I have Automatic e-mail settings for all my AWR and ADDM reports so I don;t have to run the reports all the time but they can be sent over to my mailbox and I can review them,You bet! I do it for all of my databases:
    1 - Use a cron (or preferably dbms_scheduler) to schedule the awrrpt.sql execution, directing the report to a fixed file location (e.g. /tmp).
    2 - As step 2 from the scheduled task, direct the report as input to sendmail:
