A newApple support articledescribes a possible problem with messages receive in the Mail app on an iPhone or iPod mite running iOS 4 . What happen is that an email is listed but its depicted object is missing . All that remain is a abbreviated non - helpful explanation : “ This message has no content . ”
Apple offers a dewy-eyed reparation for this symptom : Quit the Mail app from the multitask Browning automatic rifle .
I would now and then see a like e-mail symptom prior to the acquittance of iOS 4 . It occur most often when I seek to open a listed email that had been antecedently deleted from the waiter ( because I had deleted it on my Mac ) . The multitask - quit will not help in such cases . But it should do the trick in most other situations .
More broadly , this multitask - quit is worth noting as a potential mending for almost any app - specific problem you have in iOS 4 . Indeed , I have mentioned it before in Bugs & Fixes , in my clause on “ Seven iOS 4 troubleshooting tips . ” However , this is the first sentence I call in witness the technique recommended in an Apple accompaniment clause as a localization for a specific symptom .
In the claim for today ’s tower , I key out this tip as iOS 4 ’s most utile troubleshooter . By this I mean that of all the troubleshoot fixes that are new to iOS 4 ( as match to ones that also enforce to older iOS variant ) , this is the one most likely to assist most often . Even in a commixture with all troubleshooting tips , this would be among the top tools in my toolbox . I have already used this location to get out of several jams over the past few months , in the main involve third - political party apps .
As Apple ’s technical school note go on to say , this procedure is not relevant for an iPhone 3 G or an iPod tactual sensation ( second propagation ) , even if they ’re run iOS 4 , because these devices do not support multitasking . The mending will also not implement to sure-enough iOS devices , as they can not work any sport of iOS 4 . For these devices , at least for the Mail bug , Apple ’s recommend work - around is topower off your twist and restart it .
