Try resetting you phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  If no change you might need to try syncing all your music and TV shows off your iPhone, then sync them back on (be sure they are in your iTunes library before doing so).

  • I have iphone 5c.  Having email problem.  Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23.   When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox.  What is going wrong?  How do I fix the problem?

    Ihave iphone5c.  Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox.  When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty.  However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox.  I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return.  What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

    What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
    Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
    My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
    Deleting the index
    I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
    Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

  • TA44551 Just recently my ipod nano's battery seemed to stop working? I plug it into a charger, the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What's going on? How can I fix it?

    Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.

    Yes.  The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement.  This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

    You can Google "iPod battery replacement" for third party service centers.

    Hello, susan9941.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand you are not receiving internet via Wi-Fi or through your carrier.  Start with a reset of your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Reconnect to your network and test.  If the issue persists, try going through the steps in the two articles below.

  • HT4759 After installing update to new version... All games and apps that were on 6 version now have a cloud with an arrow pointing down next to them.... Upon clicking the cloud a circle rotation appears for a minute then back to the same symbol  no change

    What does the cloud symbol with arrow pointing down signify? After update to ios7 the majority of games and apps in App Store now have this symbol and upon clicking on a rotating circle appears for a minute ....then gone .... Then back to cloud symbol woth arrow down.... No change?

    Hey Smlfamily,
    Thanks for the question. It may be best to restore from a back up from before the update. This will restore your applications, as well as the layout of your home screen (the placement of your icons). To do so, see the following (based on if your backup is with iTunes or iCloud):

  • IPhone will not play songs that previously worked. Red circle with stop square in the middle.

    What should i do to get my iphone to find these songs again. They work fine on itunes, and as i said, they used to work fine on my phone. recently I synced my phone and added a few new songs, once i did that i noticed that about 50-100 different songs or so just no longer play. this is ********! It seems the iphone thinks theyre there but not fully transfered to my phone.... ive resynced my phone several times and its still not helping.... WAY TO GO APPLE!

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings via iTunes and then to re-sync.
    Before you attempt this, restart your iPhone and see whetehr issue is sorted.

  • Firefox is refusing to start. It says that my profile is missing, which it appears to be. Yet the way in which one goes about creating a new profile wont' work either. Anybody have a bloody clue what's going on and how to fix it?

    AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in 
    this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you 
    only what to sync  data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done 
    automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
    You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
      it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
    I don't understand your question abou file types.
    An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech 
    CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating 
    automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the 
    logic of how the updates take place?  Is it a case in most AIR apps 
    that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel 
    (of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated 
    server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app 
    is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help 
    from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?
    >
    Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side 
    apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?
    >
    What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe 
    server rather than a Java or .NET server?

    Thank you so much for your last comment!

  • The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

    Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

  • Firefox update installs, but does not apprearon screen, or task manger yet is running what is going on and how does one fix it?

    I installed the update Mozilla Firefox 28. It was suppose to launch upon completion. it did not appear on the monitor screen, nor the task manager, but was running; for when I attempted to install the older version again it, it said that Firefox was running and needed to be turned off.
    I restarted the computer and tried opening Firefox, with the same results.
    After restarting again, I attempted to reinstall the update, with the same results taking place.
    I attempted to uninstall Firefox and install the new version. The same results took place.
    In the past, I could install Firefox 27 update, only now I can't for the same thing takes place. Past a certain version (19), this event takes place, but 19 and older can install it with no problems.
    I checked Firefox troubleshooting information. All was normal. I checked my firewall. Again, all was normal. Tried Firefox reset. Did not help. Tried with my firewall disabled. Did not solve the problem.
    Ran a virus check (deep) no viruses. Checked my computer system. No errors.
    I can install updates for my other programs, even install new programs; just not Firefox.
    What is going on and how does one fix it.

    Hi Amseeking,
    Thank you for your question. From your description, you tried to install the 28 update from a version 19 installation. Did you install a fresh install of 28 successfully? Where the name of the file is"Firefox Setup Stub 28.exe"? This is what is sound like happened. When going to about Firefox and searching for updates it installs over the current installation. However if Firefox was already running, there are more than one installation.
    Updating from version 19 to 28 would not be a problem. However the user data from your previous version would have to be imported to the new installation if you have more than one install on that computer.
    An easy way to tell is to search for Firefox in the Start menu to see if more than one icon shows up in the search results.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have a macbook unibody. the dvd driver cannot pull in a cd and when i ma pushing it a little more it pushes it out! does anyone knows what is wrong? or how can i fix it?

    hi everyone!
    i have a macbook unibody and when i put a cd on the dick driver in it doesnt pull it , but when i push it in a little more it push it out!
    does anyone knoes what is wrong? or how can i fix it?
    thnx

    I'm not sure about your question, it's seems somewhat unclear, but if the above command doesn't work another you can try is using the diskutil command as follows:
    "diskutil list"
    or
    "df -h"
    (without "" quotes)
    find where the cd is (usually /dev/disk1 but not always depending on what else you have pluged in)
    then simply use the 'diskutil' command with the 'eject' argument specifying the device found from the previous command '/dev/disk1'(or what ever your optical is labeled as).
    If this isn't your question, I have a macbook unibody late 2009 model and the strangest thing happends, If I downgrade to 10.6.1 my optical drive works fine anything 10.6.8 and above ejects my disk immediately, I have also tested my optical drive out on other OS's such as various linux distro's.  Therefore I have come to the conclusion its a bug. - just food for thought. Hope some of this helps

  • Just updated my iPhone 5s from ios 8.1 to 8.3. After the install it asked for Apple ID and password and to allow it to sync to Mac and iTunes. After following the steps my phone kept restarting - turning on and off and goes blank. How do I fix this??

    I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this. 
    The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open.  Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out.  Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.
