Yahoo email not automatically downloading

I've noticed that yahoo emails don't automatically download on my phone anymore - when I launch the mail app (the built-in apple one, NOT the yahoo mail app), then it downloads all new messages, but other than that, they're not getting pushed automatically.
They used to automatically get pushed, and I haven't changed any settings.
Any ideas?

I think you mis-understood - I didn't say I expected a yahoo rep to post here, but I have seen posts where people emailed yahoo and posted their responses - if I can find a response that basically says "Yes, it's on our side, we're working on it, thanks for your patience", then that'll be good enough for me. Without that, i've got no proof, and would like to keep this open longer.
This started happening to me after I upgraded to 5.0 I believe, and I have seen people post experiences where they have multiple iPhones/pads/pods, and the ones that were at 5.0 or above had the problem, and the ones that were on an older OS didn't. Given that, the finger seems to point at Apple as well.

I have Firefox set to check for updates but do not install, just notify. WHen I start Yahoo email, F automatically downloads and updates anyway.

I have FF set to check for but do not install updates. When I start yahoo email, FF automatically instals updates. I am only user/administartor. How do I make this stop? It is messing up other programs - destroyed my Norton security.

Usually, the "notify" setting works fine. I don't know whether having Yahoo as the home page makes a difference. ??
Updates are available for your Norton add-ons. Please see this article: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-15-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/791174 Firefox 15 Support for Norton Toolbar - Norton Community].
(Firefox probably can't find those automatically because the updates arrive through Norton LiveUpdate instead of the Mozilla add-ons site.)

Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloaded.I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out of mail inbox.

Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloading. I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out om mailbox.
It's very frustrating as it does not happen on my iPad or Iphone.

Howdy welcon,
It sounds like your Mail application is not checking for mail automatically anymore after updating to 10.10.2. It seems to me that the setting for this may have reset, or changed at some point thereafter so I would check the preferences for the Mail application:
General preferences - Mail Help
Check for new messages
When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet).
An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences.
If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments.

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments (i.e. a 2 MB file) without the user clicking on the SAVE button or the attachment icon (white square with down arrow).
Before download:
The problem is that if the user accidentally deletes the message before downloading the attachment, and then views that message in the trash OR moves the message from the trash back to inbox, the attachment is lost and message appears garbled up.
This is not a problem if user clicks SAVE or clicks attachment icon itself before deleting it - message and attachment will be readable in trash and when restored to inbox.
Question:
Is there a way to force Mail to download all attachment regardless of size without requiring user interaction?
Thank you
ig

Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type?
Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open it. Does anyone know how to get the message?

I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open the message. Does anyone have any suggestions?

First of all, thank you for your patience, this is driving me nuts, can't imagine what you must think right now....
I made a screenshot that hopefully clears this up:
On the left is what I see when I open up Finder preferences, and then the Sidebar tab. As you can see all boxes are checked. The Middle folder that is open is what I see when I open Finder from the taskbar. which is fine by me. On the right however I have opened Macintosh HD. And as you can see, there is no sidebar, it just opens up with 4 folders.
Weirdly enough, when I tried to add a photo to my apple ID just now, the sidebar came up just fine. And I have found that it does that with more programs. So it is literally only when I open up Macintosh HD that it wont do it. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
and to answer this question:
I'm not quite sure I understand. Is the sidebar layout you showed me not the one you want? Because if it is the one you want then you should just close the preferences window behind it.
this sidebar only pops up when I open the preferences - general - show in new finder part and then choose 'other'. I cant close the preference window behind it, because then it will close that pop-out folder as well..

Most recent episode not automatically downloading

Hello,
My podcast seems to be valid according to feedvalidator.org, but it's not automatically downloading the most recent episode when I subscribe to it. I've read about other's having this same issue but it was always because they had errors in their RSS code.
The feed is at: http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/itunes.xml
I'm having this problem on a few of my podcasts, but not all ... it's weird.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ty

There are a couple of errors but they are quick fixes:
<itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"></itunes:image>
You don't need the </itunes:image> at the end... should be just:
<itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"/>
I think your problem lies with your latest podcast episode, which is the first that the iTunes client will download, it has a mismatched filetype:
<enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="video/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
Since the file is an MPEG4 audio file (.m4a) it should be type="audio/x-m4a"
<enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="audio/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
Fix those and see if that doesn't help...

Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Please always include the URLs of your Store page and feed to save me having to search for them. For references, your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/church-of-the-cross/id317330237
and your feed is at http://www.cotcboston.org/Podcast.xml
You have introduced a fatal error into your feed which is rendering it unreadable. The title for the entry of 24 November 2013 is given as
<title>Love's Durability & Permanence</title>
You cannot have an ampersand ('&') by itself in a feed because in XML it signifies the beginning of a code sequence; as this is never completed it blocks everything afterwards in the feed, and as this includes the closing tags it blocks the opening tags too.
You must replace the ampersand with either the word 'and' or the code

ITunes 11.x does not automatically download purchased music

Hello to everyone,
after installing iTunes 11.x, the new purchased music (that I buy with my iPhone, iPod and iPad) is not automatically downloaded on my iMac even if I have the iTunes set for doing it (in the preferences). With the previous version of iTunes I did not have this problem.
Now, when I verify if there are new items to download, it says to me that there are no new elements to download, so I need to sync the iPhone/iPod or iPad manually to have them transfered to my iMac.
Does someone else have my same problem or could you help me in solving it?
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi, Fred.
Are you saying the songs are in you Library but not in the Purchased playlist?
In that case you can simply drag them from the main iTunes display into the playlist.

when I purchase songs from Itunes it does not automatically download to my ipod although i have Icloud set up..

Correct. You must sync your device with iTunes.

Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

Hi @ll,
default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

Why are my podcast subscriptions not automatically downloading?

Some of my podcast subscriptions are not automatically downloading. New subscriptions are, but subscriptions that previously downloaded automatically no longer do so. When I re-subscribe, it does not solve the problem.

Yahoo email not able to sycn

Just got my Razr Maxx
My yahoo email is set up and I get emails and can send from my phone.
But when I delete files from my email account on my computer, they still show up on my phone.
I deleted the account on my phone and reinstalled my email. The old files went away but the problem is starting all over again.
I have gone into settings in my email app.
Where it says Update the services to display and sync, I am not allowed to access this area.
Under Data Usage, where it says:
Inbox checking frequency
Automatic (Push)
The phone will not allow me access this area.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for any help

First off remove the Yahoo mail from the stock app your using on your phone. It is totally useless and unreliable.
Then click the Google play store link on your cell and download the YMail App (new name for Yahoo Mail) after its downloaded and installed you sign in with your email address and password.
This will give you access to the Settings Menu for your account. The options to sync and how often, and to delete from server etc will be available.
Additionally log in to Yahoo Mail from a computer and change the settings to delete from server so you do not get duplicates. On the web there is a help section to assist you with Yahoo Mail if needed.
Good Luck

How do I not automatically download photos in Apple Mail?

How do I not autmatically download photos when I open Apple Mail. I lve on a boat and internet by the satellite gets expensive. I would like to know how to turn off automatic photo downloads.

Check with your email provider. Blocking images is a function they usually can provide.
Example from Verizon Mail Setup:

Yahoo email not working suddenly.

For the past 2 days, my Yahoo email account is not working. Up until then, I was able to receive my 2 Hotmail accounts and my Yahoo account without any problems. I tried deleting the Yahoo account, but now if I try to add it back in as Yahoo, it says that there is already an account with that name and won't let me. If I add it in as just a generic mail account, it thinks it's working, but it's really not. I'll receive a notification of new emails, but when I try to open the mail account, the Yahoo one is nowhere to be found. If I change it to show just the Yahoo, I get a blank screen. I also tried adding the Yahoo app from the market, but I really don't like that one as it takes more steps to get to the mail, and also to delete unwanted messages. I just want my mail back to the way it was!! Can anyone help me???
Thanks!
