Meaning of clock symbol next to mailbox

One of my mailboxes in mail.app has a symbol next to it that resembles a clock (a circle in which the sector from noon until 1 o'clock has been shaded). What does this mean? More generally, is there a table somewhere that explains the meaning of all the various icons and symbols that occur here and there in mail?

It means Mail is trying to fetch mail for that folder (usually the Inbox.) If it remains that may mean Mail is not able to connect with your email servers. You may get more information by clicking on the symbol.

  • Odd symbol next to mailboxes

    When I open Apple Mail there is a circle with a triangle with an exclaimation mark in it next to the inbox. I rebuilt the mailbox from the mailbox menu, but it remained. I just took another look and now it's gone.
    I've seen it before. It comes and goes. What does it signify? What should I do in response?

    It indicates a server or network issue. Click on it, and Mail will pop out a message about it. If you have more than one email account, you have more than one Inbox mailboxes. Click on the disclosure triangle on the left of the mailbox icon, and it will expand to show you the individual mailboxes; the problem account will be indicated.

  • Why does VISA write vi get a clock symbol added?

    In an application, I was using the older serial I/O primitive vi's, and now that I've switched to LV 7.1, I wanted to change the older serial read and write (worked fine) vi's (not VISAs) to the VISA Read and Write. When I place a VISA write on the block diagram, it adds a little clock symbol at the upper right corner that was not on the templates.
    What is this clock symbol doing there, when it wasn't on the functions panel version of the VISA write vi?
    Having a lot of problems getting the VISA read and write vi's to work; they seem to be far more tricky than the old primitive serial read and write vi's.
    All my VISA read vi's are getting errors, and some of them cause a severe slowdown on execution with those er
    rors. Thoughts on debugging these problemsome VISA vi's. (These problems are why I used the primitive serial read and write vi's in the first place.. couldn't get the VISA vis to work.)
    Thx.

    The little clock symbol means to do I/O asynchronously. If you right click on the function, you'll see the option to do it synchronously. Select that and the clock will disappear.
    What exactly are the errors that you're getting? One thing to try is to disable termination character detection with VISA Configure Serial Port and use VISA Bytes at Serial Port to determine how many bytes to read. If you have enabled the termination character and specify too many bytes to read, you'll get an error because VISA Read will timeout waiting for the termination character to be detected.

  • BBM outgoing messages show clock symbol

    My outgoing BBM text messages are accompanied by a light blue clock symbol when normally there is a D followed by an R...
    Are these messages hanging? It has been hours.  A battery pull doesn't seem to do anything to help.  Help?!

    I am facing the same problem. When my BlackBerry service was active I could use BBM and my email service over my wifi network but not without it. Then I learned that z10 doesn't support BlackBerry service so today I got my 3g activated. I am not able to use my BBM smoothly over the 3g network. It works sometimes and doesn't work the next moment. The problem is only with sending and receiving the messages. I can view the user updates every minute. Email service is also working perfectly. I am able for browse the net and use BlackBerry world. The BlackBerry logo is always present at the upper right corner besides the 3G H+ or E symbol. I am able to use BBM smoothly over my wifi network. The BlackBerry customer care people cannot rectify the problem. I have restarted the device and registered it but in vain. Please help.

  • Transfer Structure Status - Clock Symbol

    I have data in my ODS and have moved that data to the cube.  I have lost some of that data in the cube because of a delete of overlapping conditions.  I need to get that data back into the cube from the ODS.  I was going to load it from the ODS, but when I did, it only loaded a small portion of the packages from the ODS.  The reason is because after our ERP upgrade, we had to activate the InfoSource.  Now when you look at the Reconstruct tab in the ODS, the normal double green check marks have now been replaced with one check mark and a clock symbol.  It appears this data cannot be recovered.  Does anyone know if it is possible to recover this data and be able to move it to the cube.
    Thanks,  Keith J

    Hi Keith,
    When ever there is change to transfer structure in re construction tab we  will get that clock symbol. In your case as you are loading data from ODS to CUBE , from your first load from ODS to recent load there is change in your ODS object structure,that is the reason u are seeing clock symbol.if u are trying to reconstruct your requests it will pop up a message stating that to ignore the request click no,I think it will upload that request again,if not do an init load from ODS again and schedule your deltas regularly
    Regards

  • I have the exclamation point symbol next to podcasts that don't meet the criteria for said symbol based on the FAQ

    When I'm looking through and trying to manage my Podcast library within iTunes, I see the exclamation point symbol next to several. My first issue is the fact that there are many that have this symbol that I only wanted a few episodes and not a subscription. How can I fix this problem?
    My second issue is that for many of the podcasts with the exclamation point symbol, they don't fit the criteria based on what's in the Symbol FAQ, which states that there are too many unplayed episodes so new episodes won't download. For the podcasts in question, this is not the case, as all episodes have been listened to. What can be done to fix this problem?
    My third issue is the fact that when I DO play a podcast on my iPod Touch (4th Gen), I don't use the app (can't stand it), then go to sync it with the computer, these episodes are shown as having already been played PRIOR to the actual syncing happening. So, when I go to do the ACTUAL sync, the play count is off. Right now, I have to manually reset the play count so that the episodes that I listened to on my iPod Touch only show one play in the library count, not two or in some cases, three. How can I fix this problem?
    I have the most current version of iTunes and use Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks for ANY help!

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • Battery life suddenly decreased and consistently getting the "clock" symbol for up to 10 or more minutes at a time !

    I recently noticed a dramatic decrease in my Blackberry Curve 9300's battery life. Several days ago, it went from lasting all day to only lasting a few hours. I have also noticed that I get the "clock" symbol appearing on the screen even if I'm not using the phone --- and it stays on the screen for up to 10 minutes or more at a time ! I will look at the phone to get the time and I see that it hasn't updated for 10-15 minutes and the clock symbol is running the entire time. When it finally does disappear, the phone seems to work like it always has ---- but I'm worried that I've either picked up a virus or have somehow activated something that is draining my battery and memory resources rapidly. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated ! P.S.. I'm a relatively new Blackberry user --- switched from iPhone about 6 months ago......so still learning about how the device works and how to troubleshoot ! THANKS !
    p.s.  I have looked to see if any apps are running in the background and found nothing out of the ordinary. 

    Hi CollinGCC78,
    It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

  • What do check marks mean in little box next to title?

    Hi. Does anyone know the significance of the check mark? Appreciate any info -- I am stumped and have searched everywhere but have not found a "why?" query.

    The check boxes have a number of uses:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    The iPod has an option to only update checked songs

  • EA3 - Meaning of Navigator Symbols

    There are a lot of different symbols inside the navigator panel. Is there a document, link or help function where I can see the meaning of those symbols? I couldn't find anything about that in the documentation or under Help.
    E.g. under the "Tables" node I can see 3 different symbols: spreadsheet, double spreadsheet and half a spreadsheet.
    Also, why has the symbol for procedures changed to almost the same as functions? IMHO different objects should have different symbols.

    The broken table icon is for partitioned table. IMO having the same icon for partition and partitioned table is wrong. A better choice would be the table split horizontally, but one can only do so much with draconian icon real estate limitations.
    The multiple table icon is supposedly IOT. Again, I suggest an icon of narrower table with tree on the left would better convey the idea.
    As for procedure/function icons, do they really have have so much difference to warrant one being a flowchart, and the other being a function box? (Not to mention that the style was completely mismatched: what was all that green color, some kind of "save the earth" PR stunt?). IMO the only difference is the way the arguments are passed which is reflected in the current design. Hearing people having trouble distinguishing the two, the output arrow has being enlarged.

  • Symbol next to new message, and message won't load...

    I keep receiving new messages, and when I try to open them, they just show up blank. To fix this I just reset mail. I get this symbol next to the message when this happens though. I'll attach it.

    Yep. I did some more poking around and found that one. Downloaded it and tried to run it and got more errors. Did some more searching and found a fix for the installer on Vista. Ran the fix and tried the ipod software again. It got further, but then hung up again. I'm still trying to figure this all out. Anyone got any answers it'd be much appreciated.
