  • Why do some emails show up when I go to gmail directly, but not when I open Mail (which uses gmail as my only email account?

    Sometimes I don't receive a message in Mail (which uses gmail as my only email account) so I have to go to Gmail through Google to find it. This just started recently. Can this be fixed? 

    This is an IMAP account?
    DO you have rules set up on mac? If Mail is closed and not talking to gmail and you use your browser it will not have processeed all the rules, junk, spam, etc?

  • Do I have to buy Microsoft Word to open mail attachments? Does Tiger have n

    Does Tiger have no word document that will open word documents sent to me over e-mail? I know there is a free trial of Word, but I don't want to buy it just to open documents. Is there a word processor program included with my Imac ?

    Depending on what attachments are sent to you, you will need the appropriate application to open it. If by using the example of receiving a Word document, you would either a.)Need to purchase Microsoft Office 2004, or b.)Use a free application such as NeoOffice http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php
    NeoOffice will open most Microsoft Office documents.

  • When I open and close firefox about 3 times, I get the blue screen of death. Why? Also Firefox only opens every second time, and I have to close it manually to fix the problem. How can I avoid this?

    I have to close the firefox from my task list. Before I do that I can't open any web browser. This is really annoying, and I have had this problem only after using Firefox 4.

  • I use AOL for my sins and I have to open Mail Inbox for the red alert to appear on the Mail icon in the Dock. How do I get the red alert to appear first? I have obviously tweaked something, because it used to do that. I'm new here, my MacBook just 5 days.

    LOL.....I'm new here and I thought I had to type all my question in the Title Box.....LOL
    Anyhow, I think you get the gist of it.

  • My Apple ID on the i-pad keeps on saying that I need to have an e-mail address when I already have one help?

    I created an icloud account using my main e-mail address, no problem, since then, I have used it to send work to I-work.com.  Then today it asked me for a nother ID as I could not for some reason use the existing one.  So I created a new password, now when I try to use i-work it keeps telling me that there is no e-mail address associated with this accout, yet when I go into settings and Icloud everything looks the same.  Can anyone give me a clue????

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Why can't I use Yahoo mail? It won't delete any emails. Google chrome does it right. Fix it or you will lose our business

    Yesterday, Aug. 22, Mozilla suffered a massive & complete breakdown in handling Yahoo. Originally I thought it was a virus. I immediately switched to Google Chrome & worked on it w/o difficulty all day long. Yahoo was pushing all data/articles to the left side of the screen. That fixed today, Aug. 23. HOWEVER, the problem with Yahoo mail persists. Out of the blue, it's impossible to delete any Yahoo emails on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of emails to be deleted, they open automatically. There's no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of it. It's very annoying. Somebody's messing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer worked just fine all day. FIX IT!

    YES!!! IT WORKED!!! THANK GOD! Mozilla is so much more fun than Google Chrome--- All my bookmarks were saved & my passwords, too! And now my Yahoo Mail is working beautifully again! What a relief!

  • It wont allow me to "buy" the book. Says I have frames open, and i see none.

    anyone have any ideas?  All my frames are full, and editing blocks have text in them.  No reason why it wont allow me to buy.

    What book? Apple's iBooks, Amazon's Kindle app,...

  • Aliases have disappeared from Mail and I am left with one email address!!

    For no apparent reason all my email aliases have gone and I have the choice of one!
    Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?
    Thanks,

    Take a look in your Preferences>Accounts>Advanced to make sure the "Enabled" option hasn't been unchecked. That might cause the problem. Mine occasionally go awol and checking Enabled usually solves the problem.

  • My 5c doesn't alert me when i have voicemail.I have to check manually to see if I have message.

    My 5c doesnt alert me that I have a voicemail.  I have to check calls manually.  How do I overcome that?

    I've been back to 2 different US Cellular dealers and they can't resolve it.  Wondered it others have that issue.

  • Why does Adobe say to close Safari when i have nothing open?

    I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player on my Mac and it's almost done downloading but it says "please close the following programs to continue" and says Safari under that. I don't have anything open (except just now 'cause I have a question) so I don't get why it's saying to close it.

    It's not enough to close the Safari window, you need to quit the Safari process.

  • I cannot receive email properly now. When I open mail, it says that is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, it gives me my newest ones. But this takes a long time. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right setting

    I cannot receive email properly on either my IPad or my IPhone. I have had them for over a year and they have always worked fine. Until three days ago, when they both started acting up. On the IPad, when I open mail, it says it is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, which takes quite a while to get to, I finally get the most recent ones. The IPad is sending emails just fine.
    On my IPhone, when I open mail, it says it is downloading 100 emails, but it doesn't do that. And it gives me no new emails at all. The IPhone is sending email just fine.
    I have already deleted the email accounts on both devices and reinstalled them. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right settings. The Outlook email on my desktop is working perfectly.

    WMV is a heavily-compressed format/CODEC, and the processing time will depend on several factors:
    Your CPU, which is not that powerful in your case
    Your I/O sub-system, which is likely a single HDD on your laptop
    The source footage. What is your source footage?
    Any Effects added to that footage. Do you have any Effects?
    Each of those will have an impact on the time required.
    The trial has only one main limitation - the watermark. Now, there are some components, that have to be activated, but are not with the trial, but they would be evident with Import of your source footage, if it's an issue.
    Good luck,

  • Can not open Mail App in IOS 8.1.1

    Since I installed IOS 8.1.1 versión today I have not been able to open Mail App. When I try to open it the screen turns white for a few seconds and then it crashes. I would like to know if there is any solution to this, as checking my mail is escential for my job.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alejandro.

    Hello Alejandro,
    For issues with Mail crashing, I would start with closing out of Mail completely by double tapping the Home button and then swiping up on the app. Try opening Mail again to see if it opens up properly. If it continues, try removing the email account and then open Mail to see if it works properly. Then add the account back in. Take a look at the articles below for steps on how to do both options.
