Pop3 account sometimes shows mails / folders, most of the time does not

Hi,
I have 2 mail accounts set up on my iphone: A mobileme one, which works reasonably well, and a POP account.
Sometimes when I go into the POP account I see and Inbox and a Sent folder, and the inbox is full of my mails.
But most of the time when I click on the POP account I just get a blank screen and "Connecting..."
Is there anything I can do to fix this? At least I'd like to see the mails I've already received.
Thanks,
Tom

The Mac Firewall in Leopard has three settings
Allow All which is effectively Off
Allow Essentials which allows certain prescribed services only.
And Allow Specific Applications and Services. You need to add whichever things you want to work with the internet by application or service even if it uses a port you know is used by something else.
For instance - If you had iChat and AdiumX both of which log on to the AIM servers on port 5190 by default you have to allow both apps in the Specific Section list (the same if you change their Login ports both to 443
Now there seems to have been a problem at the OS 10.5 to 10.5.1 change over.
It seems that the OS is holding on to the 10.5 setting (which in fact may not be working at all)
Therefore use the - sign at the bottom of the list to remove any item that was there before the 10.5.1 update and then set the firewall to Allow All and then set it back again and use the + sign to re-add applications.
The Firewall will work on whichever connection the Mac has to the next device in line, towards the internet.
Thanks for the points

Video chats - sometimes works, most of the time does not

98% of the time i either invite a buddy to video chat, or they invite me, we get an error message stating that the invitation was declined, or some other communication error. 2% of the time i can successfully video chat. i am confused as to why it works sometimes, and not others.
i've read countless stories of similar situations in these pages, and have attempted all of the recommendations, none of which have improved the situation.
comcast high speed cable is my ISP, and we use a netgear router. the problem ocurrs regardless of whether my mac is hardwired or using airport.
any help is appreciated.

What database processes are running ?
--As i observed while running oracle batch running
Did you look at memory and cpu and swap usage at the OS level ? Did you look at what OS process is using the most resource ?
--I use topas to look this but i did not get,How can i look what os process is using the most
resource?
Did you run a statspack or awr report on the database to identify what is running ?
--Nohting as Oracle support said

I cannot open a new tab. When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened

I have a problem opening a new tab with FireFox 24.0.
When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened.
I use "checkCompatibility 1.3" and "Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W" as addons. There have been no problems until the previous version of FireFox.

Thank you for the reply.
It works fine with the safe mode. So it must be something to do with checkCompatibility 1.3 or Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W.
Both are necessary to run Google Toolbar on Firefox, and the fact is Google Toolbar is too convenient to be removed. So I have bookmarked a couple of blank pages and I right-click them to open new tabs. But it is so tiresome.
I hope this problem will be fixed in the next version. FireFox without Google Toolbar is just a useless browser.

After the new update the FFox is now 11.0. But it's really SLOW always CRASHES and most of the time is NOT RESPONDING. I have to go to CHROME it is working perfectly.

Hey mooshi20003,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. You might also want to look at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section].
Hopefully this helps!

Why i can't see any image on flickr. That happens most of the times but not always? Both Safari and Firefox

Why i can't see any image on flickr.
That happens most of the times but not always?
Both, on Safari and Firefox i experience the same problem!
I reseted Safari but seems to be useless

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Camera sometimes works but dead most of the time

Most of the time, the camera won't open "shutter" and display the message : "There is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photos." Erase all photos and music off my phone, no result. Camera sometimes works after numerous reboots, so problem has to be software. I had this problem on 1.0.2 and 1.1.1. Sometimes also shutters opens and shows black screen.
I'm desperate...

Since the problem occurs even after a restore and I haven't heard of this particular error before, I'd say this is a hardware rather than software issue.
Unless, of course, you have any "hacks" installed that may cause this...
Edit: I just noticed that your post says nothing about a restore... so if you haven't done so, this would be the first thing to try.

Is it better to leave my Macbook plugged in most of the time or not?

I've read different answers on the internet. Some people say that keeping your macbook plugged in is like not using the battery at all. Others say that keeping it plugged in most of the time is bad for the battery, for various reasons, either it makes the battery too hot or the constant charging and discharging during use is somehow detrimental. Everybody agrees that you should use it purely on battery at least once in a while, and many say that one should do a full discharge and charge once a month or so, to "exercise" the battery.
My question can be restated as: What is the optimal charging schedule for battery life, assuming that I have constant access to an electric outlet?

Do not let the MacBook or other battery powered Apple products run their battery flat.
To do so will damage the longer-term life and deep-cycle charge capabilities of them...
There is information about general battery and product health in the Apple support articles.
•Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
•Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support
•Find the right power adapter and cord for your Mac notebook - Apple Support
General:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/
You can check the System information section for battery and charging status, also note
the charge cycles and life or health of the battery there.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why does Firefox (most of the time) work not really good (seems to be not responding well) when I play Wildones game of Facebook ?

Why are my email attachments showing as being attached but the recipient does not get an attachment?

I currently use the Mail program on my MacBook Pro and am having issues with email attachments. I have read through a few forums and I seem to be doing everything correctly but I am still having problems. I have 3 different email accounts that I have set up through Mail and all 3 are having problems. The steps I take when attaching any document is to compose to a new email, click the paperclip icon or go through the File drop down menu and select Attach Files. With either option, I can see my document inside of my message but when I send the email the recipient only receives the text portion of th email, not any attachment. When I go to my Sent mailbox and find the email I sent, I can see the document within the message but there is not a paperclip icon next to the recipients name indicating that there was an attachment sent.
I have made sure that 'Always send windows-friendly attachments' is selected, and I have tried sending them with 'Always attach at end of message' selected and with it unselected but there has been no difference. I have only noticed this within the last 2 months. Anyone have any advice?

The issue with not seeing the paper clip in your Sent mailbox seems to be totally removed from anything related to recipients, and is something to perhaps yet be addresses in a future update.
To the issue with recipients, I would guess the recipient is using Outlook or Outlook Express, and the message is being sent in Rich Text (a form of HTML) and the recipient either cannot open the attachment, or they have an over zealous anti-virus filter that is removing the attachment out of fear caused by the presence of HTML.
More info about the recipient's platform, please.

My iphone 3 is mainly showing "searching" then flicks up 5 bars but is still not able to make or recieve calls most of the time. Not sure why, wasnt an issue the day before!

I've done a complete reboot, software is all up to date, the sim works fine in another phone, so has to be something mechanical I think. Is it fixable?

I'm sorry to hear of the hassle you're having with your telephone service Spurspad, if you would like the mod team to look into this for you please fill out our contact form (you can find the link to this form in my profile under "about me") and we'll get it sorted.

HT1386 All of a sudden when I forward a mail with an attachment the attachment does not appear in the message can you tell me why and how to correct it.

All of a sudden I can not forward mail with an attachment. Anybody have any suggestions.

When you tap on the arrow in the upper right corner and select - Forward - doesn't another window popup that says Include/Don't Include? That is in reference to the attachment. Select Include from that window.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
