Updating to iOS 5 causes all mail on POP account to be downloaded again

After updating to iOS 5 my phone decided to download all the messages off of my POP email accounts again.  I had set it up so that it would leave the messages on the server so I had thousands of messages stored there, but after the iOS 5 update it decided to download them all again.  Very annoying to go through and delete these...AGAIN!

Everything that is on your ipod should be on your computer.  You should be syncing your ipod to your comptuer regularly.
You need to make sure that EVERYHTING is on your comptuer.
The backup does NOT include any itunes content.  if you have purchased anything on the ipod that is not on your computer then transfer it:  File>Transfer Purchases
All pics taken with the ipod should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
    Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

    Infact I now see that calendar entries updated in iOS 6 are all uneditable

    Force-closing the calendar app should and toggling iCloud syncing of your iCloud calendar shouldn't have effected your On My Mac entries as they are not synced with iCloud. Open your calendar, tap the Calendars button on the top left and make sure you have selected to view your On My Mac calendar.   If it's not, select it and these calendar entries will be restored.
    You may want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at a nearby Apple store to have them take a look at your phone. I'm not sure else to suggest short of restoring it.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

    How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

    Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
    Reindex messages.
    If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
    Quit the application.
    You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.  Move the file to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Folders in Mail with POP Account

    Hi!
    I would create folders in Mail with POP account. It is possible? Why not?
    Thanks!

    As James has explained - you need an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes or folders on the iPad. Even though you may be able to create a folder on your computer - which is simply a locally stored folder - or on the POP account server, those will not sync to the iPad POP email account.

  • Missing Mail in POP account/ "Take account online in order to download it"?

    Mail build 1.3.11 (OSX.3.9)
    User has an issue with mail showing the following error (see snip below) message in a POP account. Actually, if this were IMAP it would make sense, but I've not yet seen this on a POP configuration in this applciation. After running the rebuild on the Inbox, these emails are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve these emails?
    [snip]
    The message from someone <[email protected]> concerning “Re:
    paper” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this
    account online in order to download it.
    [end-o-snip]
    Many thanks for any insight provided.

    This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue which means the mailbox has some corruption or is approaching or over the recommended size limit which is 1GB for Jaguar or Panther Mail.
    If for the account's Inbox mailbox, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
    Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
    When re-launching Mail, a new (and empty) INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder. This will allow the Mail.app to function properly again and not risk losing any new received messages while working on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
    List the package content file names and size of each here.
    This information is required before determining the next step to take to recover the existing messages.

    You cannot delete it or download it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.

  • After update to iOS 8.3 all my books disappeared from iPhone.

    TThere are no books in iBooks on my iPhone. But my iPad does have the books after the update to iOS 8.3.

    Hello,
    i had the same problem with my IPHONE 6 but solved after reset>>reset all settings.

  • HT201394 I have an iPhone 5, updated to iOS 8 and all was great. Updated to iOS 8.0.2 and I lost my cellular connection! Did the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do! HELP!!!

    I have the original iPhone 5 (the one released before 5C & 5S) and when I updated to iOS 8 everything was working well and it was great! Last night I updated to iOS 8.0.2 and it does the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do! I lost my cellular connection! It keeps saying "Searching..." in the top left hand corner of my phone where my cellular network is supposed to be. What's going on Apple? Why did I lose my cellular connection when the update was supposed to "fix" lost cellular connections for the iPhone 6. If the update was supposed to fix a higher leveled phone then why was my lower leveled phone affected??? I need answers and I need proper help to deal with this ordeal.

    I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
    All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x.  Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So  I can't send texts or make phone calls.
    This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
    My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
    Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
    Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
    So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
    Thanks Apple!

  • Help, I just updated to iOS 8 and all my pages documents have disappeared! This is a disaster ! Can I get them from the cloud? If so how and can I do it without a PC or laptop?

    I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?

    You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
    Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

  • Updating to IOS 5 deleted all prior backups in Itunes

    I updated my Iphone to IOS 5 which deleted my contacts. I have tried all of the solutions that I have found on other threads without success. I wanted to restore to a backup prior to updating to IOS 5 but it seems itunes has deleted it. I am using a windows XP computer and have a Iphone 3Gs. Please help

    Did you manage to get it fixed?  I'm having the same problem on my boss' 3GS. I used iPhone Backup Finder tool to locate all of my backups on our machine. Of course it didn't find his phone which was backup up prior to updating (which means it should've backed up twice seeing it does it again during an update). The tool found 3 other backups which show no info and look different than the others. This also makes sense because this is the 3rd phone in a row that updated from this machine which lost the backups. He do I manually use those files, or try to, to restore from backup in iTunes?

  • Updated to ios 7 cannot get mail the connection server failed

    I updated to ios 7 yesterday and today I keep getting "cannot get mail the connection server failed". Also the safari gets stuck or takes awhile to load the page

    Was there ever a response/solution to this? There's plenty of occasions where this seems to have happened but this thread is exactly what's happening to me. I am currently in Spain and trying to use Yahoo mail.
    My mail is updating occasionally but if i try to force an update i get "cannot get mail...the connection to the server failed". Also if i try to send and email i get "a copy has been placed in your outbox....the connection to the outgoing server apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com failed...additional servers can....."
    I checked my mail settings and the defined server isn't prefixed with "apple".
