RSS feeds update automatically, even though set for manual-only checks
The only time I want new feeds nagging at me is when I have time for scanning blogs. i.e., I click:
Mailbox > Get New Mail > RSS
I've set the RSS preferences to check manually, but I'm finding that the RSS feeds update intermittently and become a distraction. Is there anything I can do?

Treo keeps checking mail even though set to manual update
I have my email update set to manual. But my 800W keeps checking for email. It's running my battery down. Short of deleting the email account and starting over, what am I doing wrong?
Background: When I first got the phone, I stupidly set it to check mail every few minutes until I realized that ran my battery down in about 5 hours. I set it to 'once per day' and it worked fine. Then a couple of weeks ago, I temporarily set it to 5 minutes or something like that for a specific situation. I then tried to change it back to once per day and/or manual. The value shows 'once per day' on the options page. But it ignores it now. Not sure how often it checks. But i get email notifications almost instantly every time an email arrives. And my battery is dying again. I've tried changing it around several times, rebooting, etc.
Anybody ever seen this? Am I missing something obvious?
Thx
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)Thanks for the response. I had long since tried everything you suggested.
I did quite a bit more testing and googling, and I think I've resolved it. But there are definitely some serious problems (My feeling is that these are code defects) in the 800w that caused this.
1) I created a new email account on my 800w, taking all of the default values
2) I set the email scheduler refresh rate on the account settings page to 1 day. But I found later that it made no difference what I set it to. Same results
3) I have my own hosting business and host my own email pop server. So I have easy access to the POP logs. Here is a snippit from the pop logs with "refresh rate = 1 day":
12/12/08 21:07:31 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:08:40 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:09:52 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:11:04 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:12:16 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:13:28 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:14:40 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
12/12/08 21:15:53 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.************************.com from 174-149-227-149.pools.spcsdns.net
4) Note the time between each line. It's basically exactly 1 minute + 10-13 seconds. The 10-13 seconds is the processing of the POP call. When the POP call ends, it waits precisely one minute and checks again. I want to point out that there isn't even an OPTION on the refresh menu on the 800w to refresh once a minute. But it is indisputable from the log on my mail server that this is indeed what is happening. (I set up that pop mailbox specifically for my treo, and no other client mail app is accessing it.)
5) I changed all the values on the refresh time menu, and even turned off 'Send/receive when I send" option. I wasn't sending anyway. But I was just grasping at straws.
6) I then discovered that there are TWO places to set the refresh rate (???? that's a good design????). If you open the inbox and select Delivery Preferences from the menu, there is ANOTHER checkbox to "Connect and check for messages every...." with an entry field to enter the number of minutes.
7) Ok.. this is the defect in the code: That checkbox was OFF, and the entry field was gray. That obvious has to mean that I don't want to autocheck anything. (and that is the default way it comes up on a new account, which makes sense). But it appears the checkbox is being IGNORED in the code. It was indeed checking. And I suspect the empty grayed 'minutes' field was probably returning 0 or something like that to the code. So ignoring the checkbox and having a zero minutes refresh rate, it was probably defaulting to a minimum of 1 minute. But it should NOT be refreshing at all with that checkbox off.
8) I turned the checkbox ON and set the value to 15 minutes:
12/12/08 22:18:34 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
12/12/08 22:34:09 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
12/12/08 22:49:46 INFO pop3server: Connection for treo.*******************.com
9) Note that as soon as I checked the checkbox and set the refresh to 15 minutes, that is indeed precisely what I have in my POP log. Oh, yeah... by the way... the much more obvious "Automatic Send/Receive" setting on the account menu is still set to 1 day... (why is that page and option even there???)
10) So in summary, you have one scheduler where the user can set a value that is completely ignored. And you have a buried checkbox that defaults to off and the code apparently doesn't check it and assumes it's always on.
I don't need any additional help. It's working now. But I think someone in development needs to take a serious look at how this is working based on my scenario and analysis above.
Thanks.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 10.7.5
neither of the program Updates for Firefox or Thunderbird complete the process; I have set for automatic updates; the message shows and say it is/they are updating but it just "hangs"
firewall is ONIf there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

incoming mail does not appear automatically even though preferences is set to check for new mail every minute
If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.
Under the Window menu there is Activity. Try opening it and you should be able to see if Mail is checking for new mail. -
I have older version of itunes on Windows Vista, when i check for updates it states it cannot connect to itunes update server even though i am connected to the internet, i have an iphone that has songs in the cloud and i want to add them to my library?

Hi
I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
• Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

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 4SContact the email provider for assistance with their service.

I made a card using the iPhoto and when I click to buy it, it says that I did not fill all the frames with pictures and that I need to in order to purchase it, even though I did and have checked multiple times. Please help, it's for Mother's Day.

If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you add playlists?
If your ipod is set for manual update, how do you create and add playlists to the ipod?
Thanks! I have several ipod books and they told me about manually updating songs but not playlists. That tutorial is VERY helpful. I assume that if you manually update the playlist, all the songs contained in it would have had to been previously manually updated to the ipod....to say it another way, updating the playlist does not transfer any songs. Am I correct?

When I clear my history, Firefox clears my browsing and download history even though this checkbox is not checked. It didn't use to do this. What can I do to fix this? I believe the problem started with the last Firefox update.
Do you mean the "Form autocomplete" feature?

Rectangular marquee does not snap to grid even though snap to grid is checked under view
Hey all,
I cannot snap to a grid even though snap to grid is checked under view > snap to > grid. Unless I am zoomed in all the way, when I drag marquee, it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created. I don't know if this is a Photoshop bug but it's clearly not snapping to the grid for me unless I am zoomed in all the way, but then at that point, I have to drag it across the whole document and because I'm zoomed in so far, it takes several minutes.Any reason why snap to grid not working in PhotoShop CS4?
Thanks for response.it always snaps two pixels above or two pixels below where I'm trying to snap to grid, which is the green line I created.
Green lines for the Grid? Did you change the color in the Preferences specifically?
And your use of the singular »line« is a bit suspicious – are you sure you are talking about the Grid and not Guides? -
When my iphone is called and I don't answer the default greeting is used even though I've recorded and checked custom greeting. Any ideas?
It is not that you cannot, there could be an issue with the carrier and a problem with your voicemail settings. If the carrier supports it, it should work, just have them check it.

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.

Shockwave Player 12.0.7.148 prompts for an auto update. Even though Auto Update is disabled.
We have been re-packaging Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.7.148. Application is prompting to upgrade new version i.e. auto update even though auto update functionality is disabled. Can any one please help in this? When we right click on shockwave frame over an internet page and check the properties, we can see an Autoupdate is supress.
Thanks for your return.Thank you for your reply. Like I said in my post, I have been having this issue since the summer of 2011, when I was still using regular firefox. In fact, I had made the switch to Aurora in the hopes that this would be solved, given the ongoing changes to the update process. Going back to regular Firefox, which seems to be your only suggestion, would therefore not solve my problem, and it would rob me of the opportunity to enjoy and give feedback on other new features.
In addition, like I said in my original post, I have tried several of the most common ways of dealing with such issues, to no avail. After an extensive search, I also couldn't find anybody else with this bug. That is why I turned to this support forum. If you know of a way this problem could be solved, I would very much appreciate it.
