Mobile Me Mail in Mail.app no longer downloading correctly
Since the latest update from Apple to 10.5.6 I've been having a problem with Mail.app. I leave Mail open throughout the day while I work. The only email account it uses is my mobile me - which is also set up on my iPod Touch. Since the update, and without fail - messages are pushed to my iPod (I hear the new message sound as it is docked) but are not downloaded to Mail.app. I can also log in to the me.com website and see the new message when it arrives.
If I go in to Mail I can click 'get mail' but nothing downloads. I hear the 'no new messages' sound. In order to get my new mail message I have to exit Mail and reopen it - then it downloads.
This has made Mail.app totally useless. I have to keep it closed, wait for my iPod to notify me of new mail, then open Mail to read it. This is silly - anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks for the tip, but that's a no go. By default, Mobile Me accounts have this activated. I have tried it both active and inactive and it has had no effect either way.
Since it happens on all my Mac's I know it can't be a single system issue. And until someone else posted here that they had the same problem I thought perhaps it could be an issue with my actual Mobile Me account. Aside from this one posting, I have yet to encounter a single other person whom experiences this. Everyone just looks at me cross-eyed including Apple support.
It's deffinately an issue with Mail app though - works fine on my iPod Touch, iPhone and via my mail widget (that I just starting using since I cannot leave mail open).

After installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly?
after installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly? I've already rebuilt the mailboxes with no change in the problem. What else can I do???
Hi as2020,
If you are having issues with Mail in Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent release. You may find the following article helpful:

Facebook no longer works correctly on my iPad. If a post has a video attached, safari automatically brings up the video. I have deleted the app facebook and re-added. Still having the issue.
It appears to be a bug with (I assume) Facebook's servers - other people are having the same problem, me included, with the app switching into YouTube in Safari and showing the last video that was posted on the wall. Until Facebook (if it is their bug) fix it, then there is not much that you can do, apart from possibly accessing Facebook via Safari on your iPad and/or on your computer instead. The problem has also been reported on Facebook's help site as well - it may be related to their new 'timeline' feature or the new iPad that they are rumoured to be announcing soon

Apps no longer downloading on iTunes, iPhone or iPad
I cannot update any apps on iTunes, iPhone or iPad. On iTunes, I get the error "There were problems downloading some purchased items." then there is a drop down stating that 6 apps had problems.
On both the iPhone and the iPad I get the same error and have been getting it for about a month now. The error is that some apps are not available to download now. Try again later.
Are theri people getting these errors? I have tried about everything and cannot seem to resolve this problem.I had to go to my hotmail account (on my laptop) and change my password. It's requesting that I do that every 72 days. My mail app and settings on my 4s keeps shutting down. Even with that, it was still asking for my hotmail password. I entered my new one and it does not ask me for a password any longer. I think that Outlook was asking everyone to reset their passwords after the update. Now, if I could just get my mail app or settings to work for any of my other email addresses, that would be fantastic!

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?
I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself. -
Can no longer send mail from other apps
Problem:
If I go into any app (other than Mail) and try to send a message (via email) and I either get nothing or some apps will say that "Mail needs to be configured in order to do this." After doing a restore on my iPod touch (4th Gen., running the latest iOS5) I had only configured a few accounts under "Mail, Contacts, Calenddars", and *was* able to send mail from other apps just fine. Now that I have 13 accounts I cannot; not only is Mail configured and working fine (by itself,) but I now only have one account with "Mail" activated, and it is indeed set as the "default account" in Settings anyhow. This is frustrating since some apps depend on email to let me export its data but is also a nuisance since it makes it more difficult for me to share content with others.
Has anyone encountered this bug and/or have a tip?It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

Mail app no longer "speaks" English
Opened my Mail app today...and it was in Chinese!?
My International System Pref listed Chinese second to English. When I made Danish a second choice, the Mail app opened in Danish.
The Language list in the Get Info window for the Mail app no longer lists English.
Any ideas to fix this? Specifically, and obviously, how to I get English back into the app?
And another thing. The only way to quit this now foreign-speaking app is to Force Quit.
Grateful for any help.
tonyHi Tony
sounds like the English part of Mail app has oddly vanished - you're going to have to restore it from a backup, another 10.5 mac, or reinstall it from the dvd & then run the 10.5.8 combo update.
If you like tinkering, get Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com which you can use either to grab the Mail app from the Leopard dvd, or extract/replace just the missing language parts, with any luck -
Mail app no longer plays QuickTime sound files.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to play sound files attached to mail within the app.
In other words, if someone sent me a sound file, it would appear as a QuickTime sound within the body of the email and I could play it.
That was a very nice feature.
Now sound files will not play within the mail window. Instead, I need an external player such as QuickTime Player or iTunes.
How can I get that feature back?What specific sound file types will not play as Mail attachments in Mountain Lion?
I just sent an .m4r (ringtone), mp3, and .m4a (iTunes aac music) files as Mail attachments. The first appeared as an icon that played via QuickLook from within Mail. The second two appeared as black, QuickTime styled, embedded music play bar attachments. They played back flawlessly.
Have you installed any application recently that may have hi-jacked the default QuickTime audio playback? It would have done so silently, or popped up a dialog requesting to perform the hi-jack on a list of music file formats.
You may have to select each particular audio file format in Finder Get Info and restore QuickTime in the Open with section on that panel. -

How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
I mixed down a song from my band's latest session and saved it as a .m4a file (Apple AAC Audio format) and I e-mailed it to myself. Then on my phone I opened the e-mail message in Mail and held a long-press down on the attached .m4a file. But I do not see the option to open it up into the Music app. It only gives me the options of iMovie, WeChat, and USB Disk. Why would I want to open it up in those? It's a song. It should open up into the Music app so I can play it. What the heck?
Please don't tell me that I have to use iTunes to do this and sync my phone to my computer, because I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library. They are *practice session tracks* that I want to listen to then delete later when we have new versions.
If there is no way to open them into the Music app, then is there a music player app I can get somewhere that will let me simply save audio files from Mail into it, and use it as a player for those songs? That's all I want to do.
The only reasonable workaround I have found so far is to save them as .mp4 audio files, which the iPhone thinks are movies, so it lets me save them into the camera roll as Videos.
Voice Memos would be acceptable as a place for them to be able to open into as well, but of course that's also not on the options list. Sigh.TJBUSMC1973 wrote:

Why is that such an issue for you?
Why do people insist on replying to threads without even reading the original post? I explained it there already!
I don't have to use iTunes to save an image from Mail into my camera roll, or to save a PDF from Mail into iBooks. Why should I have to use iTunes to save a music file into Music app?
But I'll repeat it since evidently you can't be asked to read the original posts before spamming a thread with questions that have already been answered. I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library.
My iTunes library is a sacred temple into which I only allow to enter the very best and highest-fidelity musical recordings of all time. I refuse to sully and soil my iTunes library with crappy practice mixdowns from my band, etc.
Want to know why? Because I like to be able to hit "shuffle all" on my iTunes library and know that something that will improve my existence will emanate forth from this amazing device that I have invested thousands of dollars into (yes, I count my cell phone plan amongst the expenses).
I shall not have the crappy burner mixdown tracks from my band's practice sessions come up every five songs (we generate TONS of these... literally hundreds... and they are all high-bitrate .m4a tracks in the 10-15 MB range). I let iTunes keep my music folder organized on my computer. It makes copies of everything being placed into it, and I don't want 159 GB of copies of burner tracks hiding like roaches throughout my temple. We don't name these files anything sensible (in fact the guy who mixes them down intentionally gives them random weird names) and they lack metadata. So there's no easy way to delete them back out of iTunes once they're in there. It's a huge pain; I used to do it, but I swore it off years ago and *I'm never going back!*
The REAL question is, why does Apple force me to have to use iTunes—the most convoluted, kludgy piece of bloatware ever to issue forth from Cupertino—to do something as simple as adding an MP3 from Mail into the Music app on my phone? Why can't there be something simple—something equivalent to the Camera Roll inside the Music app, not only for the files I want to save from Mail, but also for my Garage Band exports, not to mention all the exports from all the various synthesizer, drum machine, and recording apps I use on a daily basis in iOS?
It would be awfully nice to be able to play the songs I've recorded right in the Music app without having to go through the rigamarole of adding those files to my iTunes library, tagging them with metadata, syncing, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda—just to delete them again as soon as I've synced so they don't pollute my computer's iTunes library!
I bought Apple for ease of use, not so I would be forced to jump through a million hoops just do to something that ought to take one tap to accomplish! That's ridiculous! -
opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?
Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

Gmail e-mails no longer downloading to Mail 4.6
Hi there,
I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and have Mail 4.6. I've never had problems with it before, but recently I've had issues missing Gmail e-mails on iOS Mail on my iPhone, so I followed the instructions in this thread to resolve it:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3543095
Essentially, I marked all my e-mails with a new label, archived everything, moved everything back to inbox. I then loaded up iOS Mail on my phone, and all my missing Gmail e-mails came back. However, from that point on, Apple Mail 4.6 on my iMac will no longer download any Gmail messages I've received since then. I can send e-mails, just nothing turns up in my inbox. If it helps, I have it set up as IMAP. I also have a laptop (Lion) with a newer version of Mail. That one has no problems downloading the latest messages, just my desktop app. I even removed the Gmail account and re-added it...but am experiencing the same problem - it no longer downloads any e-mails from after the point of the archiving fix I did. Perhaps there's a proper, full way of deleting the acocunt off my computer? I just removed it and re-added it in Mail.
Any idea why I'm experiencing this problem and how to go about resolving it?
Many thanks.dianeoforegon - double checked this, re-entered password, still no dice
Eric - I've already done this, was wondering if there's another more permanent way of doing this because it seems to remember all of the e-mails I have up to the point they stopped coming in when I re-add the account (without needing to download them).
Thanks for the replies.
EDIT: I've just tried removing and re-adding the account. I deleted the account via preferences, and my computer's innards made quite a bit of noice, as if it was working rather hard. My Mail inbox went empty. The noise stopped, and I then received an error message (I forget exactly what, asking me to restart Mail). Upon restart, I was prompted to enter my account details. I did, and it verified my username and password okay. I then got taken to an empty mailbox. However, within a minute or two, my most recent e-mails began downloading. In fact, it's still downloading now (I've had Gmail since 2004 or I think, so lots to download).
I'm hoping it's going to be okay now, will post again in here if it doesn't work out. Once again, thank you for all of your help and advice, it's most appreciated. -
We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

Why is my iMac is running Slow?
Sure, my iMac is old (bought it around March 2006) but up until about November it was running just fine for our normal home use. Then it came to a screatching halt. With all apps closed, it still takes 5 to 10 minutes just to open the TextEdit app.
