Receiving text mesages hours after they are sent to me

I have started to receive some messages several hours after they have been sent! I have very good service but for example today at 5:10 p.m. I received a text sent to me this morning at 8:00 a.m.

It probably is temporarly not connecting to the network whether it is WiFi or your Carriers network.
You could be in a closed Room or Building and it could do this. Whether it is WiFi or Carrier
Also if you took a trip into the country and returned to the city later u might all of a sudden get all your messages.
because there are not as many cell towers away from the city.

Receiving emails HOURS after they are sent

I just spend an hour trying to find a way to contact Verizon online. Calling them is a nightmare. I am ready to find another carrier!!! My emails are not getting to me until HOURS after they are sent. I communicate with someone during the day via email and it is CRUCIAL that i get my emails in a timely fashion. I waited for a very important email from this person yesterday at 3:55pm. He did email me back at that time, but I didn't receive it until 9:20 pm!!! This is unacceptable! VERIZON...please help or you are going to lose this customer...and why oh why do you make it impossible to contact you!??!?!

Please visit our Support page for a variety of ways to contact Verizon, including “Ask Verizon,” our virtual chat agent, and customer support phone numbers.

My mail application doesn't show e-mails in a timely manner. They show up hours after they are sent. Any idea what I can do?

When I click on the stamp to get my e-mails, some of them come up but not all of them. I can open a window and log into aol and see that
it shows I have a lot more e-mails that don't appear in my mail application. Also, some e-mails disappear before I have a chance to open
them. I don't know what's going on. If I close out my mail application and re-open it, they reappear. Does anyone know how to help me?

All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.

Why are messages in Mail continuing to be saved in Drafts after they are sent?

Hi Friends,
Messages that i do not indicate to be saved as a draft are being saved in my Drafts folder long after they've been sent. when i notice that 8 or 10 messages are in the Drafts folder, i then search in my Sent folder to be sure my email(s) was/were sent. and sure enough, they were sent successfully. yet there the copies are, sitting in my Drafts folder as well. any one else with this peculiarity or perhaps the solution?
many thanks!
beth

Hi Paul,
thank you. you know, i did find that on my own but problem is, when i deselect that option, then none of my messages is saved as a draft even when i want it to be. the option to save as draft is gone. and i do, actually, begin messages for certain business things and songwriting, wish to save as drafts, then reopen, edit and complete and send later.
so unfortunately it doesn't help me to deselect that option.
and then still... messages i have no need or intention for saving as drafts are also saved. just randomly, but often enough that it's a strange pattern.
thanks again!
beth

My texts say they are sent to an android phone, but the android does not receive them for hours, or even at all.

So, recently my texts are not being received by an android phone. It says they are sent on my phone, but the android phone does not get them for hours or even at all. When they do come through, they come in random order. It is really aggravating and I do not know how to fix it at all. I have reset my phone multiple, updated it, I have tried everything. Any thoughts?

Contact your carrier. There are no settings on the iPhone regarding SMS. SMS is a carrier function. Have the carrier check to make sure that your account is provisioned correctly.

I am not receiving text when they are sent to my phone number , I do receive them when they are se to my email address . Any thoughts

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
Reading the limitations mentioned in the first paragraph I would never trust Apple to permanently keep a copy of your purchases. Once you get them on your iPad immediately download them to your computer and then also to your backup drive.

Thunderbird will not send emails...but claims they are "sent" (no error message)

Up until the beginning of this month my Thunderbird was working fine with my roadrunner email address. I have not downloaded any new software or made any changes to my settings during this time. Now I can no longer send emails (although it claims they are sent) and I never get an error message. I'm definitely in online mode, can receive all messages fine, and can send messages from my road runner server fine through webmail. I have checked to ensure no firewalls or antiviruses are blocking my outgoing messages and know the SMTP is correct. Please help!

Hi...thanks so much for your help! It says "mail sent successfully" and shows it in my sent folder after I click send.

Missing Read Emails in Inbox after they are a few days old?

I recently hooked up my AOL IMAP email account to work with Apple Mail. I think i set it up properly as it seems to have been working fine sending & receiving for the past week. However I am now noticing now that the read emails left in my inbox to follow up on are in fact disappearing from the inbox & the entire email application after they are aprox. 2-3 days old. Is there a way to stop that from happening?
J
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

An AOL email account must be created as an IMAP type account with the Mail.app or with any other email client such as the Mail.app.
An IMAP type account's Inbox mailbox in Mail and with other email clients is synchronized with the server. There is no setting in Mail to automatically remove messages from the server for the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account.
This is done by AOL. You can check with AOL but I don't believe there is an available setting at the server to prevent this from occurring when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app.
To avoid this, create and utilize a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox or mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. When moving a received message from the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, the transferred message is stored locally on the hard drive and is also removed from the server at the same time.
This will prevent losing any received messages before AOL automatically purges the account's Inbox mailbox at the server after a designated period of time.

Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me. They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Photos are "damaged" once they are sent to iphone.

Photos on my computer are fine. when they are sent to my iphone via standard sync, they become distorted. The pictures have green "blobs", black lines and "macroblocking".

phansson,
Sorry for the second reply. AppleCare usually attempts to call you back. I would recommend going to http://myinfo.apple.com and making sure the phone number or numbers listed there are current.
Hope this helps,

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

You are running Firefox 34, the most recent version is 35.0.1. If you are having trouble updating, please try downloading the most recent version from www.getfirefox.com and installing it over your existing version. It will save your information but update Firefox to the newest version.
