Why dont all my  e mails downloading so I can read them?

I have been using my new mac for about 3 months, i am taking things slowly so dont want to download stuff i dont need or fiddle with settings I dont understand. The problem I have is that I cannot read some of my e mails on my mac. They fully download script & pictures on the server and also on my ipad 3 and my i phone 4 but about 10% will only show as "computer speak" on my mac. I have tried looking at the settings on Yahoo allowing all content from all known senders. On the last occasion I received 2 e mails from the same company, one was fine I could read it and download the attachment, the other just read like programmers language with lots of highlighted links and although an attachment was sent it did not show on the e mail.
This can occur on a daily basis, I have no problem receiving private e mails but only those from companies. Yesterday I had 2 from Amazon, 1 was fine the other not, it appears random. If I open the e mails on my ipad,or i phone they are perfect, pictures and script.
Is there a setting I have got wrong, its driving me mad. I did ask one of the apple advisors while sorting out another problem but he just said it was a server problem! Thanks

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why dont all my photos (345) play when i select a specific file?

    Why dont all my photos (345) play when i select a specific file?

    Hey there Mrk_wrd,
    It sounds like you can successfully sync with iTunes and get no error messages, but when you try and play your music, the songs just scroll through and will not play.
    I think I would start with closing the Music app on your phone and restarting it. Then try again to play your music.
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    If the issue persists then I would resync your content to your phone.
    Plug your device into iTunes and click it. Then go to your Music tab and uncheck the Sync Music checkbox, and click apply in the lower right corner. That will remove the music from the iPhone.
    From: iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

    When that process is done, restart both your iPhone and the computer, then go back into iTunes and recheck the Sync Music checkbox and click apply again to resync your music to the phone and test it again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    All the best,

  • Is there a way to download my MacLife magazines (currently through Newsstand) on my iPod Touch 4, to either my Mac Air, or even an extra drive, so that I can read them.  All of my subscriptions were deleted due to insufficient memory.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. However it converts all my pdf files to Photoshop Elements 10 so I can not email them because no one can read them they are not pdf files anymore. What do I do?

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

  • I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

    I am trying to delete duplicate content in my iTunes library. I have stopped the download and I can see them on VIEW>Displaying Duplicates, but cannot delete them with the Delete button. Can anyone assist?

    If you've paused the download (they are partially greyed out on the duplicates screen ?) then you will need to delete them from download window, you can't (as far as I know) delete partially downloaded items from that screen. When you have items downloading, or downloads that are paused, you should have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen
    If you click that arrow you should get a popup window with the items that are downloading/paused - and you should be able to select and delete them (or resume their download) from there.

  • I am reformatting and rebuilding my Win 7 computer.  How do I export all the settings from iTunes so I can import them into my new install?

    I need to rebuild my computer which has iTunes synced with my iPhone and iPad.  How do I export all the settings from iTunes so I can import them into the new install and not have to go through all the setup again?  My music library is my own and on a NAS drive so not going to lose it.  I am mainly concerned about setup parameters.  Thank you for any assistance.

    There's nothing to export.
    The iTunesLibrary.itl file contains all the settings, playlists, and playcounts.
    Copy or backup all your important files including the ENTIRE iTunes folder, then restore all your data including the ENTIRE iTunes folder once the system is formatted and rebuilt/reloaded.

  • When I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    when I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do Imsend plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4S. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do I send her plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    Well, it could have to do with her phone, however does she have any difficulty in receiving SMS from others? You may want to check how you have iMessage set up. Go to Settings>Messages>Receive at>Make sure your telephone number is listed there, then go to Caller ID, and make sure your phone number is the one with the checkmark by it. You may be sending messages with your email address as the header and if that is so, it may be requiring her to download it as data. See if that helps.

  • Why dont my Ichat and Mail work correctly

    Hello
    I recently have been problems with my Ichat version 1.01 and my mac mail client.
    What happens is when I restart my computer my Ichat and my Mail dont work.
    First the Mail I can recieve mail fine but I can not send mail everytime i hit compose i get the spinning beach ball also i can not access the menu options even before i hit compose i get the beach ball.
    on Ichat when i log in it takes a while then i get a messege
    saying
    Uncaught exception:
    NSPort Timeout Exception
    [NSPortCoder send Before Time : send Reply Port:]
    timed out
    I also get this messege
    (null) is disabled
    you must enable the service to diplay list
    and give you option to enable or quit
    enable does nothing
    i also cant access the menu bar
    Now heres the weird thing after working on my computer for a few or more hours all theses symtoms go away till i next reboot my computer
    I have tried everything to fix this problem on my own i ran Nortons anti virus , norton utilities and diskwarrior none have seem to do anything to help the problem
    sometimes when i run the Norton Utilities it quits before it finishes the search say something unkown has caused to to cancel.
    So i am a bit confused on all these problems and they seem to come out of no where so if you could help I would great apprieciate it.
    Jake

    The glaring problem to resolve first is this.
    sometimes when i run the Norton Utilities it quits before it finishes
    the search say something unkown has caused to to cancel.
    Unless there is a hard drive directory problem that Disk First Aid repair cannot successfully repair you don't need Disk Warrior but since you have it, you shouldn't let Norton Utilities anywhere near your hard drive but you should do so regardless.
    Three years ago or maybe longer, Symantec announced they will no longer be supporting Norton Utilities with OS X which means no new updates or versions. Norton Utilities has been known to cause more problems than it resolves with OS X which Symantec could never get right so there are good reasons Symantec made this decision.
    The first thing I would do if Norton Utilities is installed on your hard drive is to use the Norton uninstall utility to remove it completely from the hard drive. Check Symantec's website for an updated uninstall utility you can download since the uninstall utility included on your install disc is out of date and don't use it again especially since you have Disk Warrior which is highly regarded and recommended for OS X. The Norton Utilities install disc makes a nice coaster.
    Regarding the Mail.app problem, try the following:
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account and/or if you created an email account as part of the original computer setup assistant when first turning on the Mac when new which may be recreated automatically. If so and you no longer access any account recreated automatically, you can delete the account from within Mail.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

  • Why do all emails in Mail today appear squashed & almost unreadable?

    Everything in my email list is nearly unreadable, with the type and graphics appearing severely squashed. When I open up the email, everything appears normal.

    Most mail servers can be accessed in a web browser as well as in Mail. For iCloud, you go here:
    iCloud Mail
    Check for sent messages.

  • HT1349 my purchaces dont all appear in i tunes. where do i find them?

    I have bought a bunch of audiobooks that dont seem to appear in Itunes.. how do i put them back in my library?

    If you have the audiobooks on your iPhone, you can transfer them from it to the computer using iTunes. It's done through the File menu in iTunes, see this Apple doc for the details -> iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Audiobooks have different liscesing restrcitions than other media types, so they can't be downloaded again.

  • Why are all of our cords breaking, so we can not charge anything?

    Why are all of the cords so cheap, and breaking?

    I am pretty certain that Apple put something into iOS 6.1.4 to REJECT all 3rd-party power cords.  Ever since I updated to iOS 6.1.4, my most trusted cord (4 months old) has been saying, "You cannot charge the device with this cord".  BZZZT Apple strikes again !!
    Either that, or the new "Kill your battery as quickly as possible" software in iOS 6.1.4 has been draining power so rapidly, that my 3rd-party cord cannot keep up with the massive power-draw from iOS 6.1.4 !!  Don't upgrade !!

  • TS4083 Can anyone tell me why my emails keep disappearing from my iPad after I read them? They are still on my laptop but not on my iPad. Would be eternally grateful if anyone can help.

    Can anyone help!! I keep losing emails from my iPad after reading them although they still appear on my laptop. Does anyone know why?

    Are you using Apple Mail? Gmail App? Are you using a personal address "@me.com"?
    To give you a generalized answer. If your using a Pop Server (You have emails downloaded to each individual device via pop.emailprovider.com) in Apple Mail. Its possible that you have a setting causing emails to delete from your device, not the server where your emails are stored. If you can view your emails on more than one computer, then the emails are stored on your server. My recommendation would be to use an IMAP server setup if possible.
    If you could answer some of my questions, I would be happy to help you more. It appears to be an issue with the device deleting local emails downloaded to it, rather than the emails deleting server side.
