Why won't it move emails to trash?

I'm trying to delete emails in iOS7 on my iPad, but keep getting message that it cannot move to trash, so they stay in my inbox.
Why?

There are a few things that you could try to fix it :
First try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and see if you can delete emails after you re-open the app :
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Mail app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mai 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If the above doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third thing to try is to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

I can't move emails to trash...I read comments

I can't move emails to trash...instructions on support say go to "advanced"--my ipad doesn't have any advanced on it?

Where are you looking for it ? If you go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the email account on the right-hand side of that screen, and then tap the Account line (with your email account name and an arrow to the right of it) at the top of the that screen. Then tap Advanced at the bottom of the next screen, then Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Why won't my .mov or my .mp4 movie play in Keynote 4.0?

Others on the forum seem able to play movies in their keynote projects. I can't.
When the slide I have placed the movie comes up, the movie plays for a second or so and then quits while the next slide comes up. What am I doing wrong? The movie is just over 2 minutes long. Why won't it play?
Any help will be appreciated. I'm new to using Keynote. I've enjoyed making builds with music on mulitiple slides, but dang it, I can't seem to make a simple .mov or a .mp4 movie work. I'm guessing I'm missing something very basic. Please help.

If I am understanding your problem correctly, this is unfortunately a bug (or simply an unsupported feature) in Keynote that has not been corrected since the very beginning. Currently, the only way to have a movie play properly through is to:
1) make sure the slide containing the movie has no delay in the transition to the next slide, and
2) you will need to create transparent objects (like a square), each building in a set amount of seconds (60 seconds max allowable per object). For example: For a three minute movie, you will need to create an object, build it in over 60 seconds. Then copy and paste for the second object only this time, set it to start building in AFTER the previous build. Copy and paste again, set to build after the previous build, only this time, you will need to adjust the 60 seconds down to whatever fits. When the last object is done building, the slide will transition regardless of whether or not the movie is done playing.
It is a complete waste of time as trying to determine the duration of the last object to build in is totally trial and error. I am amazed that this simple feature (playing a movie within a slide) is hampered.

Why won't apple send email to verify apple id?

Why won't Apple send the email so I can verify my apple id? I need to receive the verficiation email first, so that I can verify. Without verficiation, I can't purchase any app. I need the VZ Contact Transfer app, which is free, so I can install my verizon contacts.

thats what i got going on wit my phone

Unable to move email to trash on iphone!

Everytime I attempt to delete email, I receive the message that I cannot move them to trash. Any suggestions? This started happening after I upgraded to 2.2.

I found others who have this problem. It has to do with 2.2 messing with the Trash folder. The solution others have posted and is working so far with me is to go to settings, choose the account, go to advanced, go to deleted mail, then if it is a POP account, retap the on my iPhone button. I tapped somewhere else and then retapped the on my iPhone button just to be sure. Then erasing worked. If it is something called iMap which is guess is more corporate email systems, then retapping On the Server will reset it.

Cannot move email to trash

Another glitch in the Mail feature of my new iPhone5. When I click on the trash can to send an email from my Inbox to trash, I get a popup that says: "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." And the email stays in the Inbox. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Are you hitting edit then checking the email your wanting to move to trash, then click move and hit trash?

Why won't files go to the trash

Why won't it move something that says downloading to trash

I was downloading something that I realized i didn't want, so i dragged it to the trash and 3 days later it still says moving to trash, why?

Generally the Apple STOP code is command-. (that's pressing command and period at the same time). You might have to press the sequence more than once but Apple uses standard code sets for programmers and just as command-O opens and command-P prints, command-. says "Computer- user wants to halt process".

Why won't my .mov files play?

Hello, I need to convert .mov files into another format, but I can't even play the .mov files on my Mac w/Snow Leopard and Quicktime 10.0. Why is that? What do I need to at least play them back on my MacBook Pro? Thank you, gharaldson

There's a number of reasons that they may not play.
.MOV is what's called a "container". Namely it stores audio and video streams in any format and then includes descriptive information about that data to help select the software (codecs) required to play them back.
A QuickTime movie won't playback if it's: a.) not actually a quicktime movie, b.) a damaged file (data is corrupted), or c.) the content was encoded using a method that isn't part of standard quicktime.
Generally speaking, if you use Quicktime or Apple applications, then they will encode audio and video using one of the mechanisms built into Quicktime. However, it's possible to create valid Quicktime files using other software that uses encoding mechanisms not in the standard Quicktime bundle. Software like FFMPEG and VLC can be used to produce such files, for example.
Do you have an error that indicates the nature of the problem?
