My mail does not come in automatically even though i have it set as auto. I need to click on get mail each time

My email does not come in until I click on get mail. I have the check mail set automatically in my preferences under general. What am I doing wrong? Cheers John

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

I have Windows XP. Firefox updated to version 6 automatically even though I have it set to notify and ask. Also just automatically updated again. How can I stop this?

I have Firefox set to automatically look for updates then ask if I want to install them. I do this when convenient (may also need to restrict downloads on another machine when paying for Internet use by amount downloaded) Until recently it did just this. Firtefox 6 seems to have downloaded & installed (& lost all passwords & cookies) I assumed this happened when someone else was using the machine & said yes. It has now automatically downloaded the latest update automatically and the settings are still set to ask me first. What has happened & how can I stop it please?

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click '''Exceptions...''' button -> type the addresses of the websites from which you want to Allow Cookies to be stored e.g. '''login.live.com''' , '''hotmail.com''' , '''live.com''' , '''msn.com''' -> click '''Allow''' for each, one by one 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> '''Keep Until : select''' '''They Expire'''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> When you use '''Clear Recent History''' make sure NOT to select '''Cookies, Forms and Search History, Active Logins, Site Preferences'''

Thunderbird is not auto-updating, even though I have it set to auto-update.

When I go to 'About Thunderbird', it says "downloading update" but never actually does download or update anything. I am stuck on version 24.6 and it hasn't been updating automatically since June. I know that I can manually update it by installing Thunderbird via my browser, but I don't see why Thunderbird isn't automatically updating if my settings tell it to, or why I cannot update it manually in the Thunderbird app. HELP.

Found the problem. Previous Android version of Firefox did not have a "Quit" option to close the browser. I had an add-on called 'Quit Now" installed. Latest Android version now seems to have its own Quit option which now shows up. I uninstalled the "Quit Now" add-on and when I close Firefox with its Quit button the history is cleared. Others having the same problem should check their add-ons under Tools to see if they have the "Quit Now" add-on. I only caught the solutions after seeing 2 different Quit options.

Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer. What do I do?

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Contact your carrier. Caller ID is a carrier feature.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad2, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.

Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you!

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

My email program smartzone has suddenly started working on smartzone lite instead of the regular one even though I have it set to work on the regular one. It works fine on IE but not on Firefox

My email program, smartzone has started coming on as Smartzone Lite even though I have it set to work on the regular Smartzone. It works fine on IE. This problem makes my email list come up with HUGE print and it is very awkward to use. I want the Smartzone regular back. Please tell me what to do.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session.

When closing Firefox, after reopening it, my tabs are gone, even though I have Firefox set to remember session. However, after several hours and opening and closings of Firefox, it will open tabs from the old session, for no apparent reason.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Why is my new music staying on my iPad and not going into my iCloud even though I have it set up to do so?

I have gone through all the tutorials to get iCloud to back up my music for iTunes, but it still shows I have 5.0GB available (even though I have purchased more), and when I go to "backup" it acts like it's going to do it, but doesn't. I now need to update my iOS but can't because there's not enough storage on my iPad, a bit of a Catch 22. Can anyone help me figure out why my music isn't going to the cloud? Thanks!

iCloud doesn't back up your music as part of your iCloud backup. iCloud only includes music in two ways. First, it allows you to redownload previously purchased music for free from iTunes (called "iTunes in the cloud"). Second, if you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer, you iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) will be available to download and play on your device anywhere you have a connection to the internet ( see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).
