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 do I keep getting the same emails after I have deleted them.

Since I have updated to the new OS I have been receiving emails that i have deleted from my inbox to only be placed back in it. I thought Apple made the new update to where you view emails from all your devices and if you delete from one device it will do the same to the others or am I miss understanding? The OS will place the email back into my inbox like it was a new email coming through.

You can remove (uninstall) Java Console extension, you do not need them and they can cause problems. The same for the Java Quick Starter.

Thunderbird keeps downloading the same messages even after deleting from trash folder

Also get this message no when emailing one of my groups " is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

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".

HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back. Very frustrating !!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

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...

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

Mail Keeps Downloading the Same Emails

As of this morning, Mail (v4.5) keeps downloading the same emails over and over. I've got my delete setting to delete after one week (not immediately after download), but this has never been an issue before. In fact, I have multiple email accounts that access the same mail server, but only this one account is having this issue. I've gone in to my mailbox via Mail2Web and deleted all the messages in case it was some kind of corrupt email causing the issue. But as new emails come in, the problem reappears--the new emails are downloaded over and over. This is with a POP account.
I would think it'd be a server issue, not a Mail issue, but none of my other accounts that access the same mail server are affected. Any suggestions?

Ok, found a solution, as outlined by Satchmo here:

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Sending the same email message several times to contacts. Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.

Sending the same email message several times to contacts. Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.
A user had synced all of his contacts from his computer and iPhone to his iCloud. Today, his iCloud sent out the same message 20 times to all recipients. We were able to transfer all calendar items and contacts back to his pc and then disable iCloud. However, it still sent out the messages. Any ideas?

It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

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.

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.
