Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder?

Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder at the bottom of my folders. This is in addition to the standard junk mail folder.

Hi Michael
Welcome to the forum.
Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
Just save to your document folder.

Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

Why do I keep getting duplicate messages from IMAP

I have several different gmail accounts, but on one account I get some messages twice, others only once.
I have contacted the primary sender, to make sure they only have one account for me.
Do I have something set to pull things down more than once? Original & duplicate always come in together.

My first inclination is to answer your question --- yes - something is going wrong! I'm sure more specific information will be needed to help you.
Are you getting a specific message? An error code number? Can you describe exactly what you are doing when you get the message?

Why is iCal is creating duplicates of my calendars?

I have recently "upgraded" to Lion and it has created all sorts of weird behaviour on my MBPro.
I synced my iPhone with my MBPro and suddenly all my calendar events were duplicated (NB. not the actual calendars).
So I decided to restore my Calendar folder from a previous backup via Time Machine... this worked for about 10 seconds, displaying the single entries for my various calendars as normal. Then a few seconds later, it all goes back to double vision – all the entries are duplicated!
I tried again, this time disabling any iCloud accounts and even disabling the wifi... it still happened!
What is going on?
Please help me!!

Check your "Calendars" on your Calendar app. With iCloud, you have your Calendars duplicated in iCloud. The New Lion Calendar allows you to see your MBPro claendar and/or your iCloud Calendar.
I chose to display only my iCloud calendar entries on my iMac Calendar. like so:
I suppose if my iMac and iCloud calendars are not synced then i would not have the duplicate problem. But This way my Calendar entries are saved on both my iMac and iCloud and I can chose which I normally want to have on my Calendar.
I do the same with my iPhone. I show just my iCloud Calendar.

Why does Pages keep creating a new folder everytime I save?

There must be some easy explanation for this but there's a weird quirk in Pages '09 that I don't know how to turn off.
Every time I save a document, not only does it save, but it creates a new folder with some new files labeled buildVersionHistory.plist and index.xml and then a subfolder called Quicklook within which there's a thumbnail.jpg.
No idea why it's doing this but it's really clogging up my folders and it seems totally unnecessary. Can anybody help me turn it off?

ITunes keeps creating duplicate m4p files for existing m4a files

I noticed in 10.0 that I had duplicates of many of my purchased music, an m4a and an m4p. I tried removing the m4p files through iTunes, and through Finder. I have used the Display Exact Duplicate to identify some of them and then removed them.
But after a period of time, they just all come back. And iTunes isn't downloading them to replace them, because I would have noticed the downloading in iTunes. Where are these coming from? Why can't I remove them permanently? Or is this a consolidation issue? iTunes 10.1 doesn't resolve the issue either. Anyone else seeing this?

M4P files do take slightly more processor power (because it has to descrypt them as it plays them), but the amount should be very small indeed. Unless you're running on the edge already, it shouldn't make that much of a difference. <</div>
The system is not very close to the edge. I think the problem has nothing to do with the extra computation required to decrypt .m4p files. Rather, I think it's related to the buffer sizes iTunes and/or QuickTime use with .m4ps v. the sizes they use with other files, combined with how the decryption is distributed among the applications' threads.
It's possible that you could see that sort of behavior from overclocking. If you are overclocking, might want to scale the speed back a tad. <</div>
I'm not overclocking. Overclocking is, though, a great way to induce every kind of flaky behavior.

Why is PowerPoint so slow, and why does it keep creating "temp" files ?

This is a recent problem which does not seem to be manifesting in other software (not Word, not Excel for example): my ppt is SLOW SLOW SLOW ! I am working in a very very simple presentation -- text only, black & white, no graphics, less than 15 pages -- and it takes at least 30 seconds to save, ages to open, ages to quit. I'm tired of watching that beach ball rotate !
Just noticed that for some reason it is also creating "temp" files -- "Powerpoint Temp, Powerpoint Temp 1", etc etc.
I run Software update automatically each week so should be up to date on all MS and Apple software. My 80G hard disk has 14G of free space, and I just ran "Terminal" earlier this week.

HT203433 why do i keep getting duplicates in my itunes library?

I notice I songs in my iTunes library keep getting duplicated. A lot of them seem to be purchases I've made with my iTunes account. I have iTunes Match enabled, Cloud storage and have an iPhone 4S. Is it possible it's duplicating these items for some reason from my phone or the cloud?

Because someone's trying to mislead you into giving them your iTunes Store login information. Forward all such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.
If there's an actual problem with your iTunes Store account, you'll be told at the time you try to purchase or download something.

Iphone 4s creates duplicate contacts after connecting to office 365 services

I have a client that has an iphone 4s after she synchronized her iphone with an office 365 online services account(its exchange 2010).
now the phone keep creating duplicate contacts (even after I delete them they keep apearing).
microsoft says its an apple problem what can be done?
thanks
rotem

In Mid-August, 2012, this problem still continues and I am unaware any fix to the problem.
I am running iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4S
Outlook (Hosted Exchange) 365
WIndows 7
Outlook 2010 client
Initial setup:
Contacts clean and no duplicates in Hosted Exchange & Outlook 2010
Zero contacts in the iPad and iPhone before syncing with Exchange services
Same condition with iPhone
Same condition with iPad
iTunes not involved, no syncing ever (and no [email protected] ever created.)
iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes all turned off
Connected with Exchange with legit user name, password and server domain, togel soft switches on the Exchange Mail, Contacts, Calenday and Labels/Reminders.
iPhone receives synced contacts (and email and calendar and notes) from Exchange Active Sync
User is fine until he/she searches for a contact via iOS device.
As searches continue , user believes that Contacts crash (quit unexpectedly and return to main iOS app page.
Duplicates begin to display on the iOS device that Contacts crashed on.
IF the user then edits one of the phantom duplicate contacts, the record duplicatiuon begins to grow in Outlook Contacts. But if no pantom editing happens, the duplications continues only on the iOS device and the contacts begin to appear in tripples and more .
If you are having this problem, please post it, so that if Apple ever reads these boards, they see the problem is not isolated to a few and they begin to understand that the iOS devices will be jetisoned from enterprise customers because problems like this should be acknoledged and resolved on a MUCH more timely manner.

Why do songs keep duplicating in my Library. One song has duplicated five times. If I delete the unwanted duplicates will it delete the song entirely from my library? How do I get the four unwanted duplicates out of my library?

Why do songs keep duplicating in my library. One song has duplicated five times. I have many that have duplicated up to 3 times. How do I get the duplicates out of the library without removing the song completely?

As above, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Why does my outlook keep creating modgroups when syncing with ipad?

Why does my outlook 2007 keep creating modgroups when syncing with my ipad 2. If also takes very long for the two to sync.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

My pinned tab for Firfox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

My pinned tab for Firefox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows when I click it. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

Hmmm, mine stack up over the pinned icon as you would expect (Win7Pro x64). Is there anything special about the way you're starting up Firefox? Security sandbox? Using any command-line switches?

How to make iTunes add a folder without creating duplicates?

Hello,
I have a PC running windows 7. I keep all my music in one folder on a NAS device. I am getting more and more fed up with Windows Media Player (WMP) and I would like to move to iTunes. This move, however, appears to be as painful as using WMP. Please help if you can. I have used iTunes before so I have an existing music and video library and I also have a number of playlists both with music and videos. I cannot afford to start from sratch, i.e., to remove and readd everything; it would be too costly. I have two major problems with iTunes:
1. When I try to add files that already exist in the iTunes library iTunes happily adds these file and creates duplicates. I cannot find a knob that would prevent iTunes from creating these duplicates and simply ignore any found files if they are already present in the library. All such duplicates point to the same file on disk. I am really scratching my head over this as I would think that this would be a very basic thing to do/allow, yet it does not seem to be possible. Is it me missing something simple here or is it Apple telling me that this is how it must be...???
All I want to do is to add the top folder that contains all my music without having to deal with thousands of duplicates. I cannot add the files one-by-one because there are too many of new files there and if I remove all the files and re-add them all my lists will likely become empty (tried it on one list and, as expected, the list got emptied once I removed the files that were in the list). Hmm, is this asking for too much? Please help.
2. I do not seem to see a way to tell iTunes to monitor for new media files. WMP allows you to specify folders to monitor. You add a file to the folder and the file gets added to the library. What is wrong or bad with this concept (other that it would not work if duplicates were handled)? Why does iTunes not seem to support that?
Thank you,
Peter

tt2, thank you for your reply. Let me restate your answers the way I see them.
Problem #1: You said that "iTunes only creates duplicates if you ask it to...". Well my goal is not to create duplicates but to avoid them and the problem with iTunes is that it does not seem to offer an easy way to do this. Do not get me wrong, I like iTunes but let's call black black and white white. So the way I read your answer is: no iTunes does not support a way to add the same folder twice without creating duplicates.
Problem #2: The answer to the second question is also no, iTunes does not offer any way to monitor for new files in a folder or folders.
I wish the above were incorrect but from what I hear and from what your wrote I conclude iTunes does not support any of that.
You offered external to iTunes solutions for both problems. Thank you for that! I did not know about this tools. Having said that my iTunes music files are on a NAS device (files not copied to iTunes library), my video files are on NAS but (because of the necessity to convert to iTunes supported format) they were transcoded and stored in iTunes library, my iTunes Store purchases (music) are in the iTunes library and on the NAS (backup - likely duplicates). In short it gets messy very quickly and after reading the NAS and multi-path warnings for the DeDuper tool I am just not jumping on the idea of using it - there would be physical duplicates and I would not want any physical files to be deleted. tt2, do you know if the DeDuper offers a mode where it would present the user with a list of duplicates and allow the user to decide which dups to remove before doing anything? I basically would want to remove the dups from the library but without deleting any physical files.
I will have a closer look at the iTunes Folder Watch program. Unless I am misinterpreting something I think it should do what I want to do.
So again, thank you for your answers and suggestions with the external tools. It is just too bad that iTunes does not support what I (and many others) need natively.
Peter
