The mail stamp in dock has 1162 - where is my mail

Hi I have new Mac 0s 10.9.2. When I open my mail, it shows hundreds of emials incoming but only a few are in my inbox. On the stamp in dock it shows 1162 in red circle which I assume is my mail, but where is it please? I have Hotmail and Icloud and Me accounts.

Apologies for piggybacking on your query, Bruce, but I have a related question, so we might both be able to get answers.
In the older version of Mail, the cycling segmented-circle appeared by the in-box when I checked mail, letting me know that it was "working." It would stop once all new mail was downloaded. In my new iMac, Mail (v3.5) doesn't do this, so I never know whether clicking "check mail" actually has triggered an action, and I don't know when all the new mail's finished downloading. Is this normal in Mail 3.5, or something that can be turned on?
Thanks,
James

When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

After running the security update my dock has dissappeared

I just ran the latest security update, restarted, and the dock has gone. Checked all of the basics and by all accounts the dock should be visible but it isn't.
I would appreciate a little assistance.

Why downloading updates is inherently safer than using System Update
Some people recommend rather elaborate procedures: back up before updating; both before and after updating, clear caches, repair permissions, and run DiskWarrior; and so forth. None of this is likely to do any harm, but if updating is made overly complicated, users won't do it at all or, even worse, will just be confused.
On the other hand, it is reasonable to accept the premise that Apple's Software Update, as presently implemented, is inherently dangerous. An application is going to download important system components and replace my existing components with them, while I'm actually using the computer? You've got to be kidding! In fact, the goal during system component installation should be just the opposite, namely, to minimize use of the computer during installation.
Based on that premise, here are is a simple, minimalist procedure for performing system updates.
[Note: This procedure cannot guarantee that a system update will not break, or appear to break, some functionality of your computer. System updates can be badly written; and even when they are well written, computers are complicated, and Apple can't predict every possible contingency and configuration.]
1. General principles.
1. Leave all Apple-installed components where they are. Don't, for example, move Safari out of /Applications, or move your user Home folder.
2. In System Preferences > Software Update, make certain that "Download important updates in the background" is not checked. If your computer has multiple users, do this for every user. It might also be wise to uncheck "Check for updates"; one user, the administrator, should then be responsible for checking manually for updates from time to time. (To do so, choose Apple > Software Update.)
2. When an update is available in Software Update, do not press the Install button in the Software Update window. Instead, download any desired update packages individually and without actually performing the installation. Software Update allows you to do so, but this feature is not at all obvious, so here are instructions:
1. Make sure there is a checkmark at the left of all and only the packages you want to download.
2. Choose Update > Download Only. After performing the download(s), note the location, on your hard drive, of the downloaded material.
3. [Note: Alternatively, go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and click the download link for the desired package. In the case of major system updates, this is the way to obtain the full "combo update", which is often better than the incremental update offered by Software Update.]
4. Restart into Safe mode, by holding down the Shift key from the moment you hear the startup "bong" to the moment the "spinning gear" appears. Expect this startup to take longer than usual. Don't be alarmed if the fans whir loudly during the "spinning gear" display. Eventually you will be presented with the Safe Boot login screen. Log in as the administrator.
5. Without launching any other applications, double-click one installer package and perform the installation. Do nothing else; just sit there and wait until the installation is complete.
6. Repeat step 3 after every installation. Finally, restart normally. This, too, may take longer than usual, and you may experience a "double-restart." Be patient!

I just updated to the latest and my dock has disappeared?

Any idea's The dock is gone yet I can browse the drive and get to my folders... hence I was able to start safari and get to here...

Mail via the postage stamp not working

HELP, my mail stopped working yesterday. I have 10.2.4 and have been using the "stamp" to receive and send mail successfully.
I have communicated with Verison (ISP) and changed my password and aligned all my settings accordignly in mail preferences. One odd thing in preferences however, is that at the toggle for the outgoing portion, it won't let me say just outgoing.verizon.net, but keeps adding on outgoing.verizon.net: my name. I go in to try to change the incoming side, and only with :my name will it it lt me do so. I go back to try to change it to just outgoing.verizon.net, and it erasas the data on the in the other "user name" and "password" dialogue boxes that appear after I click on the "options" button. Which then prevents me from being able to use it at all.
Thus there is something weird going between the toggle for outgoing.verizon.net. , and the dialogue boxes after I click on the "options" button. Please help if anyone can.

If you have successfully moved to iCloud your ability to send/receive email via the "postage stamp icon" (more commonly known as Apple's "Mail" application) will not disappear when MobileMe shuts down as you are already using iCloud.
RSS feeds are a feature of the Apple Mail application, not of iCloud or MobileMe. Nothing there will change.

Mail 5.3 under Lion 10.7.5 fetches mail from Belgacom but not from Scarlet in Belgium

Mail used to fetch mail perfectly well from all my Belgacom Skynet accounts in Belgium, and also from my Scarlet accounts.
From the moment I "up"graded to Mail 5.3, it has been unable to fetch mail from my Scarlet accounts. So I have to seperately to their Webmail in order to treat my Scarlet e-mail. Scarlet seem unable to solve the matter. It seems to be clearly an Apple problem - but WHAT problem?
What technical difference or parametric difference is there between a Belgacom Skynet account and a Scarlet account?
Can Apple, or anybody else, help? It has proved extremely embarassing as I have missed some extremely important and sensitive emails.

By the way the other thread I mentioned is "Re: Mail in OSX Lion : pop not OK " and here is a copy of happyjohn's post:

Hey guys!
I solved this problem with POP account very simple. Though I've read a lot to find it, but here it is (at least it works fine with Gmail accounts):
Go to Accounts>Advanced and just check the port you uses for downloading mail from your POP server. For POP it should be 995 and SSL should be switched on.
After that Mail 5.0 downloaded all mail I had on my server (I use chelarbitr.com with Gmail Apps installed).
That's all.

Can someone tell me if it is safe to install thunderbird are will it go overtop of my other mail do not no whether to install this program or not I do not want it to overrrite my other program with the postage stamp on the dock

Can someone please tell me if it is safe to install thunderbird are will it overite my other mail the postage stamp on my dock i am just knew to apple computer and this is so confusing i guess until i get used to it

Mail.app is one app and Thunderbird is an entirely distinct app. It has nothing in common with Mail.app other than it being just another mail program. It also won't just automatically replace your existing mail program. Just like mail.app you need to configure it's preferences for the desired mail server, account(s), etc.
I've never used Thunderbird but if it's a halfway civilized mail program then it should also give you the choice of leaving the mail on your server. So you could test it out without removing the mail on your server and Mail.app should be none the wiser.

My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need t

My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need to. It appears as if I selected the entire layer on purpose (which I did not)
The below items appeared when I opened Photoshop CS 5:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled G & U enhancements. Check the video card malfunctions website for latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.”
(I believe this started after the automatically updated Windows was applied. It was coincident with the before mentioned problem . . . but I don’t really know if it had anything to do with it. )

For the Clone Stamp problem, check the Clone Source panel and Clipped is probably unchecked.
If so, check Clipped and see if that makes a difference.
(Window>Clone Source)
As to the video card problem:
Which version of windows are you using?
What is the make and model of your graphics card?
Do you know which update windows installed?

Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

Mail won't open in Mavericks, dock has disappeared and power button is now sleep button!

Having installed OS X Mavericks on my Macbook Air Mail just won't load, period. I have never had a problem with this before now, the entire laptop will freeze and heat up to the point that the fan is working at mach 10. Opening terminal and entering the command 'defaults delete com.apple.mail' has not worked. In addition to this problem the dock has dissappeared so there isn't quick access to applications without having to go through Launch Pad or Applications folder in Finder, (Dock is hidden but is not present when scrolling over), and Apple have turned the power button into a sleep button?! Having these issues has meant I have been restarting the computer a lot and scrolling up to the Apple Menu to hit restart is frankly annoying! If I wanted my computer to sleep I would close it down or use Hot Corners.
Dissappointment levels 10+.

I have since sorted this issue by doing a clean install and copying files across. The way I worked it out was by creating a guest account and logging into my iCloud account from that. If Mail loads in your guest account then the problem probably lies within your 'V2' Folder (Library > Mail > V2), after relocating V2 to my desktop and reloading Mail it loaded fine, however I lost all my folders and mail within... Hope this helps! It's not a fix but you will have access to Mail again!

The mail stamp icon is no longer on my screen. How do I get it back on Home Screen?

The mail stamp icon is no longer on my Home Screen. I have to open mail from Recents, and then I have to close it by Force Quit, since there isn't a close button. I would appreciate advice on how to get the icon back. ( I am posting this question for my 90 year old father ). Thanks.

Do you mean that the icon in the Dock is missing?
Sorry, but I don't really understand your question: could you elaborate further?

Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined

Freshly installed Elements 10. Can not use the option-mouse click to define an area for the clone stamp. The error I get is:
Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
New Mac Mini. Had the same problems in Elements 9 so I installed the 10 trial. Is this a key binding error? Did not have this issue with Elements 9 on my Mac Air or my Windows 7 system.
I'm not a newbie and know how to use the clone tool. I won't say I'm an expert so if it's something related to layers please throw out some ideas.

This problem came back up. I hadn't used PSE since last November and was frustrated to run into it again. I don't think it's a layers issue afterall.
I use a wireless keyboard and mouse on Mini and mouse on Air, although keyboard for Air is upstairs at a desk with monitor for occasional use. Regardless blue tooth is on for these devices. Problem exists. Turn bluetooth off on Air and the problem is gone. It must be related to option key when bluetooth is on, I guess some different mapping. Even when I have bluetooth on and try to use Option key on the Air keyboard it does not work.
So now where do I look for configs to check?

Dock has moved lower with Mountain Lion. This truncates the indicator light below the dock. Has anyone solved this problem?

I'm confused. I just got an email from Apple Support Community (updates) and I see that a "baltwo" response is marked "This solved my question" (no offense directed towards baltwo). The question just seems to be more defined, not resolved. This is an Apple OS problem (seemingly) and needs to be directed towards a technical representative, not the community. I would ask that if anyone knows how to push this issue towards Apple, that is where the solution lies.
File a bug report with Apple via feedback. Do note that this goes through marketing and sales. No telling when it'll get to engineering. Alternatively, if you want to report this issue directly to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.
