Why won't Mail download my mail?

Yesterday Mail stopped getting my mail.
Looking at my webmail I can see some 200 emails waiting to be downloaded. I've called my ISP and checked that all my settings are correct - and they are.
When ever I click 'get mail' I just get the 'no mail' alert noise. Anyone got any ideas?
All help and advice appreciated.
Thanks

If a POP type account, try the following first.
Quit Mail and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and empty the Trash.
If successful when re-launching Mail, any messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again in addition to all new messages not yet downloaded.
If this isn't successful, check all messages at the server via webmail access and delete all spam messages and any messages that contain unusually formatted HTML.

Hi;
This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

I don't have a computer on which to convert a digital booklet in iTunes to a useable form for iBooks. Why won't it download using the cloud like all the other media I purchase on my ipad?

LP content can only be downloaded on a computer's iTunes (or 1st gen Apple TV), you can't download them on an iOS device - and I haven't seen anything that say it will change in iOS 8. If you don't have a computer then at the moment you won't be able to download/view LP content
About LP : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
After you buy an album with iTunes LP on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the album's songs will download directly to the device. The iTunes LP will download to iTunes on your computer when you choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

Can't find mail download or mail preference folders in library, where are they?

adding backing vocals is a feature, I can't find them or how to do it.
The backing vocals are software instruments, listed in the "Choir" section of the software instrument browser. Afaik, the basic GarageBand does not have these instruments. My "choirs" all came with the JamPacks. The JamPacks are no longer sold separately, but if you buy Mainstage 2, you will get all Jam pack instruments and loops to be used with GararageBand; and it is not very expensive (~23 € at the AppStore).

HT201272 I typed in a digital copy code to get Rise of the Guardians on here because I bought the blu-ray, but the digital copy won't download no matter what I do. Why won't it download? Right now I am very angry for not getting the digital copy.

I purchased Rise of the Guardians on blu-ray, I typd in the digital copy code that came in the case, the ituns extras downloaded, but no matter what I do, the digital copy of the actual movie won't download. Why won't it download? I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works, it just simply does not want to download.

Ok, a new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians started downloading automatically at no extra cost, I admit that I was thrilled, but now my happiness is gone because the new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians simply won't play. Nothing works with it except for the iTunes extras again. I'm getting really tired of this. Why won't it play and why give a digital copy if it refuses to work? Please someone help me out here!

Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Mail won't stop downloading old mail

I just upgraded to IOS 5 on my iPad2. I have a number of mail accounts set up. When i open up the mail program it checks for new mail and then it uploads hundreds of old mail as if I haven't read them before and I have to painstakingly delete them one at a time. When I open up mail later on it continues to do the smae thing with the same mail!
1) Is there anyway to convince the Mail program tha I only want new mail starting from today?
2) Is there any way to bulk delete mail rather than one at a time?
This problem is also compounded by how Mail marks new mail. My two mail services are Optonline. And Gmail. Where Optonline puts a solid blue circle in front of ecery new piece of mail. My Gmail does nothing to note new mail, it's just there. So
3) How can I get Gmail to mark new mail, so that I know I have some without having to check it all of the time and read the date stamps?

What is your account type - POP or IMAP?

Why won't my downloaded CS5 design Premium file load?

I downloaded the creative Suite CS5 for Windows from the Adobe CLP website and I got a file named: DesignPremium_CS5_ LS1.7z which will not load on my Windows machine.
Did I miss a step... What mistake did I make and why won't it unpack and install?

You should have also downloaded a small .exe file with the same name. If you cannot find it then you can manually extract the .7z archive using 7Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal.....
I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other. Here's what's going on:
Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
So far so good. But:
When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success. Please solve this for me!!

The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

Why won't Lion include e-mail attachments?

Help!! Lion won't include e-mail attachments. Does anybody know of a fix for this?

Please be more descriptive, it works perfectly fine on both of my Lion machines so it's probably something you aren't doing. Please describe in detail so you're painting a picture for us. An example of a screen shot of an email that has an attachment would be helpful.

Why won't my email receive mail? how do i fix it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why won't my email inbox mail stay on my iphone?

My mail account is bellsouth.net (i.e. AT&T Yahoo). I'm not a techy, so need some help and cannot find the answer after hours of digging. I simply want all my inbox mail on my phone to match my inbox on my computer...so if I have 10 emails, I want to see that on both so when I work with mail it syncs and remains the same on both. Currently, when I open up the mail on my computer (I view my mail through Windows Live Mail), it automatically removes the mail from my iPhone so my iphone show "No Mail" all the time.

Thanks for responding. The default setting for Yahoo is IMAP, that's why I'm puzzled. Any other ideas? I thought maybe it was an advanced setting on my phone but don't see any options there.
