Stop auto-download of email in iPad 2?

(I'm new to iPad)  I have set up Mail on my new iPad but don't want it to download all the same mail that is downloaded to my Mac since I have to just delete them from the iPad. Playing with the "Fetch" setting doesn't seem to change anything. Whenever I turn the iPad on it automatically downloads all new email. Thanks!

quote "The paperclip indicting an attachment is included with a received message does not mean the attachment has been downloaded with the message. "
I assumed this until I checked my usuage before going into the email with the attachment. The usuage indicates that the attachment has been downloaded.
e.g. I send an email with attachment from pc to my iphone. I go into inbox on the iphone and the little paperclip appears. At this stage I do not click on the message, instead I hit home>setting>general>usage; and the "received" data goes up the same size/amount of kb as the attachment, therefore I assume the attachment has been downloaded automatically.
On another note, I have read on some forums the "arrow" to download email attachments, once the email message is opened points down. My arrow points to the right. Is this normal?

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

  • Is there any way to stop auto download of operating system such as IOS7 when you are connected to wifi and power?

    Auto download is costly when you happen to connect via wifi using your mobile data network.

    You're wrong.
    It's been posted on here that users not interested in installing this software update are experiencing forced downloads. It's downloading  the file, of which cannot be deleted. Waiting to be executed to install.
    It does this when charging, connected to wifi
    Google io7 forced downloads, several articles.
    OP, the only way I've read that can stop it, is to not have enough space available. It needs about 2.9, so it's advised to keep your iPad full.
    Or turn wifi off when chugging to a wall outlet

  • Need to stop a download in iTunesU on iPad

    I accidentally tapped the download of a video lecture instead of the audio-only version.  I cannot stop the downloads in progress.  The mechanisms in place for iTunes don't seem to work for iTunesU.  How do I stop downloads in progress on an iPad in iTunesU?

    A round stop button appears next to the download cloud after you tap it to start your download. Tapping the stop button will stop the download.
    If you don't see a download cloud, you likely have enabled "auto download" for that course. To disable it, tap the gear icon at the top right to manage settings.
    Does that help?

  • HT1977 how to stop auto downloads and taking money from my account

    Please help,my itunes account started downloading apps and taking my money. What do i do to stop this

    I have never heard of the app store automatically downloading apps if the user did not initiate the download by entering their password first. Sign out of your account and that should stop it.
    If someone shares an Apple ID with you, then you might be seeing the downloads that they have purchased and that is why this happening - i f you have auto downloads turned on in Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps > On.
    Does anyone share your Apple ID?

  • How do I stop auto downloading?

    How do I stop automatic downloading of movies/tv shows?
    Every time I open itunes all my past media purchases automatically start to download.
    Preferences does not give the option to select/deselect movies/tv shoiws,
    Help me please!

    What are they downloading on (computer's iTunes, iOS device), and are they new purchases (e.g. did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' when bought them), or have you gone into the Purchased section and clicked/tapped on 'download all' ?
    In the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of a computer's iTunes, on the Music section there is a 'download all' button to download all your past music purchases (those that are still in the store and not hidden) ; and on an iOS device, in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app there is a 'download all songs' button

  • Stop auto download and play of embedded video

    How do I stop automatic download and play of embedded video on a website in Safari
    Please help
    Bruce

    There is a preference setting in ClickToFlash (2.8.5) that will change default from autoplay to preload for html5 videos (Safari preferences, then select ClickToFlash, and click the checkbox to access settings for ClickToFlash, then go to the Media Player tab).  That seemed to fix the problem. This should be built into Safari but apparently is not.

  • Where do I find a PDF that I download from email on iPad mini?

    I received a PDF attachment in my hotmail acct.  I clicked on the file and got a message that it is downloading then the little circle showing download progress disappeared but I cannot find the document? I looked in pages, iBooks, notes to no avail...pls help!

    The PDF will have downloaded inside the Mail App.  You should be able to tap and hold the File icon in the email to get the Open In option so you can save it in any App you want that can read the file. i.e iBooks or Adobe Reader for instance.

  • How to stop auto download of SD versions of TV shows?

    I buy lots of TV shows from the iTunes store and everything I watch on my laptop is in HD. However, iTunes INSISTS on downloading both the HD and SD versions of every episode. And even if I pause and delete the SD downloads, as soon as I buy a new program iTunes starts downloading ALL SD versions of every show that exists on my hard drive. So at this point it means I have to go in an pause/delete dozens and dozens of SD downloads of shows that I have already watched!
    How can I tell iTunes to ONLY download the HD version? Help!

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page.

  • How to turn off email auto download?

    Hi All,
    I'm running Tiger (10.4) on one hard drive and I'm running Leopard (10.5) on another - working on familiarizing myself and looking for problems. 10.4 uses Mail.app 2.1.3 while 10.5 uses Mail.app 3.5.
    With Mail 3.5 - I've been unable to find a way to switch from auto-downloading of emails in favor of "Manual." This "feature" of auto-dowloading emails has always bugged me (a lot). So I use "Manual" downloading with v. 2.1.3. and want the same "sanity" with 3.5.
    Secondary problems: I notice that 3.5 cannot verify the certificate of my ISP Pop server and keeps warning me "this may be a fake certificate" and gives me options to "stop" or "connect." Geez, there's no doubt about the SAME certificate when using Mail.app 2.1.3.
    Also, it appears that Mail 3.5 is taking "forever" to send (upload) image attachments. I haven't had a chance to really track this down, but it seems like Mail may be converting every .jpg file to .png - which increases file size. I watched the Activity window and saw upload speeds of from 0 to 2.7 kbs - but suddenly the indicator bar jumps ehead and the mail is sent.
    Any have any idea how to stop auto-downloading of emails with Mail.app 3.5?
    Any further help with those secondary problems will also be appreciated.
    TX in advance.

    Thanks Klaus1 - it's interesting to see that Apple designers still have not caught on to the idea that "icons" for important things need to be distinguishable from one another.
    That is, the icon for the overall preferences panel (in 10.4) looks a whole lot like the icon used for Mail 3.5 prefs (in 10.5) and it's located in the same spot as overall prefs on Mail 2.1.5. So I naturally thought the icon on 3.5 was for "overall prefs" and ignored it. Thanks Apple, for letting your employees take so many naps during their work shifts.
    You get a "helpful" for your post. Now if I can get responses on the slow upload (on DSL) by Mail.app and figure out why it doesn't recognize my (national based) ISP's certificate, I'll be a happy camper.

  • Stop instant downloading

    How can I stop iTunes from downloading tv shows to my mac?  I already watched them on iPad but it still wants to download to laptop and I don't want them on my laptop

    Oh my gosh, I'm having the same issue.
    THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO SOLVE THIS. I buy 5 HD season passes and BOOM I don't have any hard drive space left. I can NOT believe that Apple didn't think about this very obvious use case. All I want to do is purchase the show and download it on AppleTV when I want to watch it. I simply don't have the hard drive space for everything I bought, and I can not figure out how to stop itunes from starting to download everything once I start iTunes up.
    I did the same as the other suggest, tried to change preferences, but there's no preference to stop auto downloads for movies and tv shows, only must and apps.
    What the heck! Does anyone have an answer? This is driving me insane.

  • Apple:  Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV.  That simple.   I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

    I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.  Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB.  There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

    We are all itunes users just like you.

  • TS3274 iPad starts to download imap emails then stops, like it is stuck

    My iPad recently stopped downloading incoming emails from my imap account. It will download my sent mail, drafts, etc. the bar at the bottom comes up and shows downloading 1 of 20 . Then it stops. It seems like it is stuck. I have no problems with my yahoo account, it's just one account and only my incoming mail. Help!

    Have you tried a Reset? [Hold the Home (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake (top right edge) buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe

    Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.
