My popup notification always has the same sender name when receiving Gmail emails, never the actual name?

I have four email addresses feeding into my Thunderbird (on mac) which I have used for years. In recent months, though, whenever I receive an email, the popup notification gives the sender as a person who occasionally emails me, never any other sender name. Is there any way I can stop this happening? It is annoying!! Thanks

I have had the same problem and I think I have a solution, at least one that is working for me.
In mail preferences - accounts - advanced, turn on "Use IDLE command if server supports it"
In mail preference - General, set Check for new messages: Manually.
Don't check for new messages manually, (still doesn't work) but wait for the IDLE command to push new messages to you.
This is for a GoDaddy mail server, using Apple Mail 7.1 on OS X 10.9.1.
Good luck.
Edit: sorry I thought this was the GoDaddy thread (similar issues) I'll leave this here incase it works for Gmail.

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website. I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it. I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file. Any ideas?

I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website. I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it. I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file. I have downloaded apps before with no problems. This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2. Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download. I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S. Any ideas on what to do?

You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

White shadow on and iPod touch screen almost resembles the same look as when there is pressure on the screen

iPod has a white shadow on the screen. It isn't cracked. It kind of looks like an X-ray. Only black with a white glare, no color. Almost resembles when there has been pressure to the screen and and it turns white. The left side is responsive to touch, but if you scroll it is slow to catch up to the right. Not the white screen of death because you can read it by tilting it at diff angles. Have tried to restore & the invert color option. Also, I took a screen shot and thru iCloud looked at it on my iPad, the picture is perfect and doesn't have the white glare. I have searched for hours and can't even find anyone who has ever had this problem.

I cannot get the toggle link to the business email to stay up long enough to click it. The same thing happens when I try to hit the toggle reply "to sender" or "to all" dropdown on the side of the "reply" button. What can I do to fix this?

Clicking on my e-mail link, [email protected], loads the business side link right underneath. I click on my e-mail address, the business side flashes on the screen, but again when I try to click it, the whole thing disappears.
The same thing is happening with the "reply" button drop down menu for "reply to sender" and "reply to all" menu items.

It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
So the steps would be:
- Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
- Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
- Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )

"Firefox doesnot respond" is not the same as "crashed" When it does not respond the whole system hangs , qonsequently it is impossible to send a krasch report. The only wayto get the system working is to shut it down and restart it

During browsing for 3-6 pages F-fox hangs the system with a error message "Firefox doesnot respond" and dimming the screen.
Nothing else but switch of the computer and restart it.
After browsing for 3-6 pages it is the sam procedure.
No possibility to send a crasch report

If i pre-order the iphone5 will i receive it the same time as when it comes out in the shops?

if i pre-order the iPhone5 from the apple online store, will i get it the same time as it gets released in the shops on september 21st? please help, thanks

If you have already pre-ordered the iPhone 5, check your order. If you made the first batch of pre-orders, it should say delivery September 21st. If that is the case then yes, you will get the iPhone 5 on your doorstep on launch date. If you have yet to pre-order, you will probably not make the first batch and might have to wait for shipment

Hi, i am looking to set cells so that when one number decreases the other increases. The catch is that when the first number goes up the other stays the same. And when it starts decreasing again the other builds up. so forth

Hi, i am looking to set cells so that when one number decreases the other increases. So say cell A is at 5, and cell B is at 0. When Cell A goes to 4, Cell B goe to 1. The catch is that when Cell A gets down to 1, and i change it to 5 again, Cell B will be on 4 and start incresing from that point on when cell A decreses. This is to show an amount of sales within a company when stock is sold.
Example:
A = 3
B = 0
A = 2
B = 1
A = 1
B = 2
A = 3
B = 2
A = 2
B = 3
A = 1
B = 4
A = 3
B = 4
A = 2
B = 5
Sorry if this sounds confusing.
Many Thanks,
Oliver

Can't be done, in a single cell, for the reasons given by Jerry.
But not difficult in a column:
I've moved the columns one to the right to put them in the body cells of the default Numbers table.
Current stock is listed in column B, with results of increases and decreases entered manually. Any increase is assumed to be a restocking, and does not affect the sales to date figure in column C. Any decrease in stock is regarded as a sale and increases the current total in column C by the amount of the decrease.
Until an entry is made in B, the corresponding cell in B will show a hyphen. This can be changed by changing the text between the quotation marks in the formula.
Enter the formula into C3 and Fill it down the rest of column C.
Regards,
Barry

One of the instructors within our institution submitted their course for publishing. I, as the site administrator, have not received an email requesting the course be published and it hasn't appeared in our iTunes U site manager courses either. Any clues.

We are new to iTunes U and all of our teaching staff are generating courses for our school.
We have successfully published one course publicly.
One of our teachers submitted a course on 24 January. I, as site manager/amdinistrator have not yet received an email requesting that the course be published. We've double checked everything and there are no errors that we can find at our end.
Does anyone have any clues on how we can rectify this? The submit course option has now disappeared so she cannot resubmit.
Cheers
Brett

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry for the delay replying...while your post is a bit old now, it still deserves a response.
First -- these forums are not a formal channel for support from RIM. Rather, they are user-to-user support forums where users help other users. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see and respond to your inquiry.
What I suggest is that you have your affected users exercise their formal support channel -- which is available via their carrier. The carriers have the ability to escalate cases into RIM for resolution.
Best!

How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

Why? Because something is wrong.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How do I receive multiple texts from the same sender, each individually?

How do I receive multiple texts from the same sender, each individually?

So I receive automated reminders from my job & I want them to come individually. For example, one text -- time stamped 10:14 pm, then another 11:12 am, coming as separate msgs.

On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.
