Why does Thunderbird keep retrieving the same emails 2 to 3 times from my hotmail that I already retrieved?

It's not always exactly like this but here is example of the problem I'm having;
In the morning I open Thunderbird and it automatically retrieves the new emails from my web emails Hotmail and Gmail (that's good).
In the afternoon, when I open Thunderbird again, it will retrieve the same emails from Hotmail that I already got in the morning (that's not good).
Sometimes when I open Thunderbird a third time, it will again get those same emails from Hotmail (That's frustrating).
Note:
1) This only happens only with the hotmail account, not the gmail account.
2) The second and/or third time I open Thunderbird is not necessarily the same day, it could be the next day or next time. I just used the morning/afternnon example for ease of explanation.

I have the same issue. I have not followed it up, Hotmail is such a rubbish service these days and I am sick of dealing with support there. They simply do not understand mail or it's protocols. They only comprehend "Microsoft" and their scripts. I just moved on the GMX.
But I am guessing something there is broken. Perhaps it is not moving the mails to the POP folder in a timely manner. But I am seeing exactly the same thing. And it is not always either. Windows 8 uses IMAP so they really do not care if POP works or not. They would probably prefer not.

Why does iMovie keep saying the operation could not be completed?

Why does it keep downloading the same movie and doesn't allow me to actually watch it?

It took over 48 hours to download a single movie, then i watched 15 mins of it and the sound disappeared... i then switched off the tv (not apple tv), turned it on again and now it's downloading the movie again! Why is this happening?

Hello Nataliesapplequestions,
It does sound like you have some download issues going on there.
I'm not sure which Apple TV you have, but please check out the following article.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting playback performance - Apple Support
It deals with, "playback issues in content that you rent or purchase on Apple TV".

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life...

TS5181 Why does iTunes Radio play the same songs over and over?

I've been listening to the Chill Out Jazz station at work and love it, but it keeps playing the same songs over and over now...for weeks. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've found the same thing on the 80's channels...they just play the same 15 or 20 songs over and over.

There is a Repeat setting. It can be set to repeat ONE (repeat current song), ALL (repeat current list), or OFF (do not repeat). It is probably set for ONE.
On the nano's Now Playing screen, there is a symbol that looks the two arrows in a loop. You may need to swipe the screen to see it. Tap that button to change the Repeat setting.

TS1702 App store keeps telling me my iPad settings have to be set to enable cookies to download apps. The setting is done, but why do I keep getting the same message to change the settings?

I'm just setting up my new iPad. I tried to download an app for the first time but kept getting a notice that said cookies have to be enabled. I have followed the directions on enabling cookies, but I keep getting the same message when I try to download the app.

Is this how you do it?

Repair Permissions keeps repairing the same files

Whenever I repair permissions, I notice the same files are being repaired all the time. Is their a problem and how can I fix this?
Thanks,
Hattori Hanzo

Hi, Hattori.
This is not a probelm.
The list of permission repairs is quite extensive under Tiger. This is due to the Repair Disk Permissions function forcing the specific permissions it reports, which is required due to the receipts of the affected files, most of which are Dashboard widgets. Most Dashboard widgets have specific permissions — ostensibly to avoid potential security problems with widgets — and Repair Disk Permissions will always set these to ensure they are enforced, whether or not they actually need repair.
Whenever the message in Repair Disk Permissions states "We are using special permissions..." this means the permissions are being enforced, not that the permissions on that file were necessarily incorrect.
Bottom line: you can ignore these "We are using special permissions...." messages. They will repeat whenever you run Repair Disk Permissions.
For additional information, see "Disk Utility reports some messages that you can ignore when checking permissions ('33261')."
Good luck!

Why does Itunes keep losing the location of music files?

Itunes will lose the location of the music files. they clearly listed under the right album and proper order but when you select a song a exclamation mark shows up and a window pops up asking me where it can be located. I don't know, Itunes lost it, I haven't done any maintenance work to the hard drive that I know of other than clean the registry on my firefox search engine.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
i may be able to give some more focused advice once there is a clearer picture of where things are.

Why does iMovie keep corrupting? Must reinstall after every use.

Everytime I use iMovie to create a project, and then quit once I have finished the session, and then go back to it, the icon just bounces once and iMovie fails to open. The application corrupts and I have no idea why ... its not like I'm doing something wrong with it, just transferring my home videos onto DVD, but I swear everytime I quit it corrupts. Its very infuriating. Can someone suggest a reason why perhaps?

There are two common reasons for this:
A) The project you worked on is corrupt. This may happen when you empty iMovie's trash. So NEVER empty iMovie's trash.
B) The iMovie preference file is corrupt. This happens from time to time, but not every time you open iMovie. Delete the file: com.apple.imovie3.plist
(Yes, that's the name for both iMovie 3 and 4)

Why does it keep ejecting the DVD-R and won't burn?

I finished the DVD project and click burn. Why when I insert the DVD-R disk does it keep ejecting and asking for a blank DVD-R disk to be inserted? I know they are blank. Am I missing something?

Bingo - DVD+R ... 'plus' media won't work in your machine. You need DVD-R discs - Sorry.

Why Indesign CS6 keeps opening the same old Indesign documents multiple times?

I just installed the Indesign CS6 trial version before I purchase the professional version. I opened one of my old Indesign file from CS5 and a weird thing is hapenning on Indesing CS6. Everytime I click on the page or tab of the Indesign file that I am working on (test.indd, see attached), a new file is created from a different Indesign CS5 file (edu_lipper_conv_backpage.indd, see attached). Indesign CS6 will not stop duplicating this file until and force quit Indesign CS6. Attached is a screen shot with additional information about what is happening. Thanks, Jeneffer

Try a clearer explanation, please. Your original post claims that the windows with old converted documents are spawned whenever you click on a page or tab; your most recent post cliams that it happens only in the digital publishing workspace when you create a button. Does it not happen in another workspace?
Why do you have to force quit? Doing so with files open will cause files to re-open from your Recovery folder, so you should stop force quitting ID and quit the normal way. That is what the Recovery folder is for, after all - to automatically re-open docs that were open when ID crashes, or when you force quit.
I have to agree with you, though - I think it's a bug, too, that has to do with how Lion works. You may have to wait for a patch to be released by Adobe (or Apple!), or you may have to reinstall CS6. I don't know if it will help, but you could try replacing your preferences first.

Why Does Apple Keep Changing the Charging Protocols?

I bought an iPhone 3G yesterday, and after having a 1st-Gen iPhone for about 5 months, I'd have to say I'm not altogether impressed with the new one. Non-recessed headphone jack, check; faster downloads over 3G, check. The rest of it.. I dunno.
The most irksome detail I've encountered so far is that something has changed in the -- what is it called, the docking mechanism at the bottom of the phone that connects to the dock -- that makes all my previous docks (and I have quite a few around the house) obsolete. Worse, this iPhone will not charge from the adapter I have in my car, the Dension ICE>Link which originally integrated all my iPod controls directly into my car stereo.
When I got my first iPhone back in February, the first thing I noticed was that when I plugged it into an older "universal dock," I'd get an error message, "this accessory is not made to work with iPhone." I managed to work around it. I bought a new dock that is compatible, and I discovered that so long as I was using the iPhone as an iPod in my car, it would charge that way. So I wasn't losing battery charge if I listened to my iPhone/Pod in the car. That was good enough.
Now, with 3G, first, I discover that the Universal dock that I purchased with the old iPhone generates the same stupid 'will not work with iPhone' message that the OLD iPhone generated with an older dock. So this iPhone 3G does not work with a dock that I purchased for the original iPhone, which did not work with the dock I had purchased for my iPods. Sheesh.
But, again, it gets worse: now, when I slip the 3G unit into the cradle/adapter in my car, it will not charge ever, not even when I'm using the iPhone 3G as an iPod. The audio connects, I can still use the iPhone as an iPod and listen to it and control it through the car stereo, but I'm draining the battery when I do.
So, from iPod, to iPhone, to iPhone 3G, it appears to me that Apple has changed something in the protocols for each new generation so that all the docks and accessories from the previous generation are no longer viable. Why are they doing that? What is the UPSIDE of this very obvious and irritating downside, other than the upside for Apple that gets to sell me ever more accessories.
Are other iPhone 3G users encountering irritations like this? What sort of work around are there? Anything?
The GPS and the faster data speeds of 3G are nice features, it's also nice to have a flush headphone mount (I can use this one with a bluetooth stereo headset transmitter). But there are other ways that this unit is just not integrating into the way want to use it, and I may be very tempted to go back to the original iPhone.
Anybody want to chime in with their experience?
Thanks,
--PS

There are two messages you might see. The one you allude to, "will not work with iPhone" is merely a warning that the accessory is not shielded against the electronic emissions of the iPhone, i.e. you may get a little static on the audio. You can ignore that error and use the accessory. The other error is a "will not charge" and that's because the iPhone 3G no longer draws power from the FireWire pins in the dock connector. Apple has been phasing out FW support - the ability to sync via FW was dropeed a couple of years ago. 3rd party manufacturers have known about this for some time, but seemingly chose to maximize profit by not changing their design (especially for car chargers, since the power input is 12 V, which FW can handle, but for USB the voltage must be stepped down to 5 V). There are dongles available to drop the voltage and move the power to the correct pins.

Why does iphoto always upgrade the library?

Everytime I open iPhoto, it displays a message that it needs to upgrade the library and when I proceed it displays that it needs to repair the library? WHat gives? EVERY TIME I OPEN IT?

With iPhoto 11 do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
