weird.
It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
Good night captfred!

  • I can't see some unread messages. I Don't Know if I've blocked people accidentally or what? Can you help, please?

    When I hit "Quick Filter" It shows the number of unread messages, but there are no messages below in my inbox. I don't know what I did. Please help me undo this!

    right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. Repeat the quick filter and see if anything changes.

  • Emails from one account don't appear in the Inbox of Mail since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I have a couple of email accounts - one is Gmail and one is a domain for my business. Previously Mail would show the Inbox and then a subfolder for each account under Inbox. Any messages received in the accounts would appear in both their own subfolder and also the Inbox. All my rules worked properly and life was good. Now, try as I might I cannot get my domain email account messages to show in the global/unified Inbox.
    Originally the domain email folder was totally separate to the Inbox. By changing the IMAP Prefix (removing 'Inbox') I was able to get the folder at least under Inbox.
    I purchased a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to move everything, therefore the problem persists. I had additional problems that my address book, rules and On My Mac folders didn't appear - but I solved that by finding the Containers folder and it is like a duplicate of Mail. I moved things from there to the Library/Mail and those particular issues resolved. But for the inbox issue, I have removed data from the Users/Library/Mail and from Library/Containers and started afresh - even deleted the Mail App and reinstalled from my original disc, but as soon as I set up the account it happens again.
    Recently I have also started receiving errors when sending to use the Connection Doctor. I don't know if all this is related to a bug in Mountain Lion, the way I have things set up, or my domain/ISP.
    Any suggestions on what to try, what it may be or ways around it would be great. I do have a Smart Mailbox for a Total Inbox, but of course the Rules don't work automatically on it. I'm getting sick of running Rules manually. Help please!!

    I called the support service and she told me to delete my email address and re-enter it. I have no problem since then on receiving and sending emails.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    had some old movies from reel to reel on a vcr. i converted these to mp4 format using pinnacle video capture, quality was not great but it was decent enough on my computer. when i placed these on my ipad it was much worse and very choppy.  i have handbrake and thought i could maybe change the movie so i could play it on ipad but dont know what dimensions or framerate etc. currently the movie on the computer is in 640 x 480 mpeg 4  aac.  thanks derek

    Jon,
    What Julianne said at first about re-linking made perfect sense and I followed it easily, had actually already been there.  But in my situation now, it didn't have any effect.  The directory of folders which had already been added were still just as they were, and the outstanding balance are not in the desired position.  And the folders which had been brought in earlier today when I clicked "synchronize folder", were still missing all the metadata.
    Maybe this means I need to start over, and I'm fine about doing that that, but I don't know what it takes to accomplish that.  I'm concerned now that any changes I make out of guesswork could only make the problem harder to resolve.  It just feels to me like something I did at the beginning just wasn't right, and now it's a tangle.
    Can you advise?
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • I have my icloud turned on on my laptop and ipad. And I can't see any of my photos.

    I have my icloud turned on on my laptop and ipad. And I can't see any of my photos.

    Did you turn photo stream on in Settings>iCloud?  If so, you will only get photo stream photos from the last 30 days as earlier photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud.

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • Hi I have just upgraded my macbook to Maverick, but the Apps store doesn't connect to the dutch store/ apps, and I can't see my previous purchased apps as on my iPad, any idea ? thanks

    Are you expecting to see the apps that you can see on the iPad, on the Mac?
    iOS apps which run on your iPad and use the iOS operating system, won't run on your Mac, which usues a different operating system, OS X.

    It sounds like maybe you've unintentionally activated the Zoom feature.
    Try going to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, and make sure that Zoom is turned off.
    Does that help?

    Several months ago,  I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library.  When I finally clicked on the 'update' button,  it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos.  Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them,  ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out.  It is THE WORST!!  I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain.  Anyone??  Please help!!!
    Thanks so much!!!

    HI,
    You should be able to just leave it on, it should have a sleep mode which it will enter after a while.
