Why have emails been automatically deleted after a period of time?

emails of more than about a month old have disappeared and cannot be located.
In Mail Preferences it is possible to dictate when Sent emails can be deleted. How is same done for received emails?

There is no setting in Mail for deleting messages from your In box, or any other mailbox other than Sent, Junk and Trash, on a timed basis. If you're seeing that kind of behavior routinely, it has to be something your mail server is doing. Who is your e-mail provider?
Alternately, after a second read, you could have also meant that there was a one-time event that caused everything older than a month to be lost. Again, that's not normal, but if that's the case, let us know for some other suggestions.

HT4759 My i phone 4s calendars have not been automatically syncing to my i cloud calendars. I have noticed the i cloud account(apple id) on my phone is set to my primary apple id and my icloud apple id is set to the alternate id. How do I change to prim

My i phone 4s calendars have not been automatically syncing to my i cloud calendars. I have noticed my phone apple ID is the primary one and my i cloud is using the secondary apple id. I am able to log into i cloud using both IDs. I believe the problem is the ID s are not the same on each. I believe if I change my i cloud ID to the primary ID it will fix the issue but I can't figure out how to change it.

To do this you will have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and delete the secondary account (this only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud). Then go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account to delete the primary account. Next sign into your former secondary account ID in Settings>iCloud, making it the primary account. If you wish, you can then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and add the former primary account as your secondary account.

I am on Holliday and started an iOS upgrade to my iPAD 2, yesterday. The security lock have never been enabled. After the upgrade via WiFi in the hotel, the iPAD asks for a 4 digit kode to access my iPAD! ?????? APPLE, what programming subroutine is forgotten during functional testing prior to release of the latest iOS upgrade???? - Now from a borrowed hotel guest computer I post my ”HELP NEEDED”. Please advice if there is a way to skip a security kode I never enabled (nor even tried out and diabled) – WITHOUT spending time to find a Apple store helpdesk that restore via iTunes, and delete all my local data.

During the setup of iOS 7 which you went through after installation it asked if you wished to create a passcode. It is possible to skip setting up a passcode at this step but you must have created one.
If you can't remember the passcode and you have enabled "find my iPad" you can use http://www.icloud.com/ to remote erase your iPad, then you can set it up again, and restore it from an iCloud backup.

TS4268 Why have I been charged for iMessage activation now, when I have been using iMessage for more than one year?

I received a message on my iPhone saying that some charges could be applied due to activiation of iMessage. My question is: why have I been charged now, if I had already activated iMessage and I have been using it for more than a year.

We are basically users and can't really help with activation. So unless a staff member can check in, you need to speak to Customer Service.

You are being phished and spammed. Ignore these. If you reply to any of them the result is to give out the password to your iTunes account.

I click on task bar icon and wait. Then right click & choose Moz FF. Eventually 2 screens open. I hope I don't have to refresh to clear this up. TY, Gracie

HT201359 Why have I been extra charged for an app and have been billed twice for the same app?

Why have I been extra charged for an app and have been billed twice for the same app?

We are are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support here, we won't know why.
I don't know what you mean by 'extra charged' (have you made in-app purchases within the app, or are you in the US and need to add on your state's sales tax to the listed price ?), or have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If you've been double-charged then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com .
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?
For example, I can connect to wifi and use Safari and my iPad's interet capabilities with no problem. But if I then leave my iPad alone for an hour - when I go back to using it, it still shows as being connected to the wifi, but is unresponsive - i.e. web pages will not load etc. - I have to disconnect and reconnect to the wifi to make it responsive.
In advance, thanks

Try #5
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

Is it possible to have the cellular data switch turn off after a period of time. I would like to minimize the data usage, but often forget to turn off the cellular switch once I have returned to wifi coverage.

My new iPhone 6+ seems to eat up data at a faster rate than my iPhone 4. I was advised that turning off cellular data when I am at home or work where I have wifi will keep my cellular data usage to a minimum. But I have found that I frequently forget to turn it off the cellular once I have finished a task where I needed it. Is there a way to have it turn itself off automatically after a period of time? Thanks

No, you will have to manually do it.
Have you look into putting your phone in airplane mode and then connect to wifi.

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

After short period of time my messages are disappearing from my Icloud mail account.Why does it happen?Can I restore them back?

I can't understand my Icloud mail behavior.All messages I sent are stored in sent box as usual whereas messages I receive are disappearing after short period of time (no more then 2 weeks).Why does it happen?Do I have any chance to restore them?

Unfotunately I'm not eligable for MAC support over the phone and have to take it in to the Genius Bar. Hmmmpf.
But I was able to isolate the errors (using Console) that occurred just prior to the network failing:

Tour shuts down after a period of time have to plug into charger for reboot

Today I noticed that my phone will shut off after a little while of inactivity. The battery will be mostly full, and it thinks it dies. So inorder to reboot you must plug it into the charger. Once you plug it into the charger you get the image of the battery with a bolt in the middle of the screen. After a few minutes of charging it resets to the home screen, and after another period of time it will do it again. You might think this is occurring because the battery is dead but the battery will be 50% maybe a little more or a little less. I am wondering if this is an OS problem or something that is just wrong with my phone...

That definitely sounds like a phone issue. We had a user with a similar problem that ended up getting her phone replaced. She hasn't had any issues since.

Mail stops receiving messages after a period of time

Every since installing Mavericks my Mail app stops receiving messages after a period of time. I know because I get the email on my phone, but I try to grab them in Mail and nothing. If I restart Mail then they come through.
I'm using Gmail as my email provider. Is anyone else suffering with this? Is there a work around?

Workaround or not, this is an annoyance, and that's a nice way of putting it. Coming from Mountain Lion, when Mail was working flawlessly, having to deal with this issue is just plain ridiculous. What happened to the Mail application? I don't understand how Apple could screw this up to badly.
Every time I restart or reset the connection to the servers, the Mail app is downloading thousands of messages (I can see the display on the bottom-left). I have no idea what it's doing or why, for that matter. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, I will seriously be forced to look for an alternative, which saddens me greatly. I really like Mail, but if it cannot reliably get my mail simply because I've left it open too long, or hidden it behind another window, I will stop using it.
What's worse is that I've had similar issues with other applications like iPhoto and iTunes. Whatever is happening to Mail is probably not just application-specific. It's probably OS-specific. I hope Apple is working on it and that we will see a major update to Mavericks soon. All I know is that, right now, I'm seriously regretting upgrading to Mavericks.
