The trash file in my email empties by itself every few days. how do i set it so that the emptiing of the trash is left up to me?

the trash file in my email empties by itself every 3 or 4 days. How can i empty if myself manually?

I too have this problem. I just transfered my entire library to an external drive it worked great for a couple of days until I accidently opened itunes without holding down the option key. Now iTunes can't find any of my tunes even though I choose the library on the external drive.
I have tried throwing away the itunes library on my harddrive and then reopening itunes with the option key and selecting the library on my external drive. This did not work.
I can't believe apple didn't think this through. There must be away for it to figure out where my music is!

Check Mail Preferences, Accounts tab. Select the account, then the Mailbox Behaviors tab. See if you have it set to Permanently erase deleted messages when: One week old. (or less)

Trash Folder gets emptied every few days

Every few days the Deleted folder gets emptied and I can't find any way to stop it. It makes it very difficult when I'm expecting a delivery or need to remember log in info etc.
I used to use Window Live Mail and the Google Inbox app on my phone and have it set up to access my mail as IMAP so I could check my mail where ever I was and that worked but when I noticed my mail vanishing I stopped using one then the other to try and figure out if one or the other was causing the problem. I'm currently only accessing my mail via the web page and it still vanishes. Sometimes after a few days and sometimes after a few hours. I've checked the options and there's no "Empty deleted folder" option that I can find.
I'm still on BT Yahgoo mail even though I was swapped once then that got reverted.

If you want to keep it, why put it in the trash folder? Would it not be better to either leave it in the incoming folder or move it to another folder that you could make for the purpose of keeping emails.

I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

Hi Sunny C,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
Also, check the View command on the Menu bar. View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
Cheers,

Cookies every few days makes a *.bak file and starts anew (win7-64 with FF33)

Upgraded from FF5.1 to FF33. Only problem was black screen, fixed with hardware switch. Cookies are somehow storing a backup file every few days, and starting new file. Checked cookie settings and same as used in FF5.1
Last night hand purged about 2/3 of cookie file using FF33. File size didn't change (about 1534K)
Manually restored cookie BAK file twice, without problem.

Do you have security software or cleanup software that might be causing this and is cleaning out the cookies?
It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
*Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

So a number of my apps (ie., United, ES File Explorer, etc..), which worked a few days ago, are now crashing on start-up or shortly thereafter. Have you recorded this bug and is a fix forthcoming? Anxiously awaiting an update.

There are a number of threads about this issue on the forum if you want to do a search. Basically, you need to uninstall the latest update to Android System Webview:

I am losing communication to the FP-3000 every few days.

I am communicating to the FP-3000 via OPC. Every few days I lose communication to the FP-3000. The ready light has turned off. Rebooting the unit corrects the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like the problem of I/O module. Make sure the I/O module is firmly seated, the terminal base is firmly attached to the terminal base on its left.
You may look for bent pins on the bottom of the module or between terminal bases (don't forget power down the bank before removing terminal bases).
You can also send e-mail to "[email protected]" for further support.

You might have better luck in the iTunes for Windows community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Does it create a problem if I only connect the backup external drive every few days for use with Time Machine? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

After a near miss with my 4-year old MacBook, I finally wised up and purchased a WD My Passport for Mac to back up my hard drive. I connected the Passport today and have performed the first full backup. However, I do not wish to keep it permanently connected to the laptop. Does this create a problem if I only connect the drive every few days? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

Hello,
I don't think it'll cause a problem, but I'd disable/turn off Time Machine before disconnecting, then turn it back on after you connect it again.

probably your zoom is on. try double tapping with three fingers on your screen, it should go back to normal and then goto

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

What should I do to keep icons from disappearing from the navigation toolbar every few days? These are icons I dragged to the toolbar from the Customize screen.

I have several icons on the navigation toolbar that I dragged from the Customize screen. Every few days these icons disappear. In order to get them back, I have to drag them again from the Customize screen. How can I keep this from happening? I'm using Firefox 8.0.1, but the same thing happened in earlier versions.
