"Import Mailbox" not available after installing Leopard - no email

The first time I opened Mail after installing Leopard. It found my accounts and folders but nothing was in them. Everything I've read says to "Import Mailboxes" from the Library, however that option isn't available to me. (it is in shadow). Should I re-install Leopard? Is there a way to re-install just the "mail" rather than the whole operating system?

Restarting the MBPr a second time after the update resolved the issue for me. I was updating from 10.10.2.
Prior to resolving this, the symptoms I experienced were a loss of the Bluetooth icon in System Preferences, and no option to search for Bluetooth devices in both the Mouse and Keyboard menus. The Bluetooth icon in the top menu bar also had a squiggly line going through it, and when clicked reported Bluetooth not available.

Finder not working after installing Leopard!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm getting a strange Finder behavior on my Intel iMac (not the newest version) after installing Leopard. The thing is, after instalation, when I start the computer, the top bar on the screen starts blinking, and there's no way to open a Finder window. And it stays like that forever! I tried to open Finder from the Dock, but the blue dot of the active programs blinks 3 or 4 times and then disapears. Plus, the only way to access the Apple logo on the corner to switch the computer off or restart it, is by opening one other program from the dock (in this case I have Safari running), because this way the top bar stops blinking.
So, I thought I should try to update Leopard to 10.5.1, and this could solve the problem. But no. It searches for new software updates, tells me that there are new updates, but I cannot see them nor install them!
This is really weird and annoying!
Anyone had this problem? Please, help me.
P.S.: Yes, I've tryed a second install of Leopard. Same thing!

Do NOT install any updates until you resolve the problem, which is unrelated to any updates. Updating a computer that is not working correctly will only make the problems worse, never better.
If this is the second install, was it on an erased HD or did you import your previous programs, etc?
It sounds like you might have some errant 3rd party software running.
Did you run a disk check and file permission verify/repair before installing?
Check your startup program window and remove everything there. Write them down so you can put them back later.

Mistakenly canceled import of old mail after installing Leopard

The first time I opened Mail after installing Leopard, it began automatically populating with my old emails. I mistakenly hit cancel and now cannot figure out how to continue the process or find the old emails. I only see new mail and mailboxes in home/library/mail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I agree that this could be the issue. But the problem is, Mail will not let me do anything about it. It gives me the dialog over and over because it is trying to do some background IMAP task (that it is unable to do) but does not stop trying to do it long enough for me to, say go into the preferences to change my account settings.
I can access the IMAP account from my web mail so this issue is something corrupted in Mail that it thinks it should be able to access but can't. If you catch my meaning.
Cheers,
Dan

Syncing my iCal calendars in iTunes - Not working after installing Leopard

* I have tried researching this as much as possible before posting this, so I apologize if a solution has already been posted for this issue!
After recently installing Leopard, I have noticed that when I try to sync my iCal calendars to my (5th generation) iPod (using iTunes) that the only calendars showing up as available to sync with are "Home" and "Work". I do not have a "home" or "work" calendar in my iCal. In fact all of my calendars in iCal appear to be working fine, however, I am unable to see any of them when I go to my iTunes to sync them to my iPod. I tried syncing my iPod with the "Home" and "work" calendars, but they are empty. I used to be able to sync with no problem whatsoever. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot for any helpful advise!

JHeinz,
Glad to hear that contacts are working again.
Other troubleshooting steps involve refreshing the iTunes and iCal plist files.
1. Quit iTunes and find the com.apple.iTunes.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iTunes for expected behavior.
2. Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Additionally find the Calendar Cache file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder. Drag both of these files to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check for desired behavior.
I listed these as separate steps to keep from changing too many things at one time. If you are dissatisfied with the results you can always return the original plist files to their original locations.
;~)

After Installing Leopard, missing emails and can not receive or send Emails

Hello All: Installed Leopard yesterday. Everything seemed fine except that I noticed that my mail program had lost all the emails within the box. I do know that I did not back up my email prior to installing Leopard, however, I have tons of email on the Web server but none are coming through on the Mail Program.
I've sent 3 emails out on the new program and no one has received them and they do not show up on the SENT folder, or OUTBOX or DELETED items. Anyone has any idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks, J.

Hello JaimeIsaac,
I found the solution for our problem. Through out the preference file for mail and relaunch mail. The pref file is named "com.apple.mail.plist" and it is located under Users>your login>Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist. When you take this file out of the folder leave it on your desk top or an external drive. When you restart mail, mail will create a fresh copy of the file. BE ADVISED YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT INFO LIKE SERVER NAMES, USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS! You can collect all this information BEFORE you remove the plist file and quit mail. Its all listed under Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Take screen captures of all of this information, you will need to re-enter it when you launch email for the first time after deleting the plist file.
In particular you will need to know your incoming mail server and password and outgoing mail server and password!
Good luck. The important thing is to collect as much account info as possible BEFORE you remove the file and relaunch mail. FYI if you forget to record all this information first (which I did) you can put the original plist file back in its original location and relaunch mail and collect the information.
As long as you don't through out the original plist file you can always go back to what you had.

Hard drive not recognized AFTER installing leopard

So I installed Leopard on my 12in Powerbook G4, having the usual problem of non-recognition of my hard drive (from a third party) but was able to install Leopard after fiddling with disk utility.
Now the computer will not recognize the hard drive after I restarted it. I've tried rebooting holding down the option key and selecting the hard drive and it still didn't recognize after restarting (it shows a prohibit sign). Also tried booting in single-user mode but it keeps waiting for the root device forever.
Has anybody had a similar problem?

Unplugging worked!!!
I have no idea what PRAM is but someone said that unplugging your computer resets it so, I thought I'd give unplugging a shot. So, I shut down my computer and unplugged it. I also unplugged the power on the HD. (because I wasn't sure which one they were talking about.)
Anyway, I went away for about five minutes.
I came back plugged in the HD power first. Then, I plugged in the power cord for the computer and turned it on.
As soon as I logged in I was asked if I wanted to use my external HD for Time Machine backups.
I saw the icon for the HD on the Desktop where is belongs. I can open the drive and access the files with no problem.
Try this if you haven't yet.

"Finder" does not function after installing Leopard on Mac G5

After successfully installing Leopard on my (new) MacBook Pro and on my (old:2003) iMac PowerMac 6,1 I tried installing Leopard on my 2005 iMac G5.
The installation seemed successful, but after restarting the computer I was asked to choose the wireless network from a list. This was not possible. I do not use the Airport on this computer so tried to press "cancel". Could not do this and got the turning rainbow circle which never stopped.
*The Finder does not function and cannot be restarted. This seems to be the main problem.
I cannot log off or shut down and have to use the powerbutton to shut down.
When starting up I do not get the Startup sound. Do get login and can login. But, all my desktop buttons have disappeared and I immediately get a notice that OS X shut down unexpectedly, asking me to cancel or send a report. Neither of these options are possible and the turning rainbow reappears. It's driving me crazy!
I can sometimes open programs but no longer "system preferences".
Is there anybody out there who can help me??
I am especially frustrated since the other two installations on an older and on a newer Mac went well. I use the exact same programs on all three computers.
HELP!

My .Mac Email not working after installing Leopard Upgrade.

Hi, I just installed Leopard in my MacBook and I'm not available to send out mails, I do receive them but not send out, if any body have any idea of what is going on I will appreciate some help.

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Ethernet port not working after installing Leopard

All fine when in 10.4.8, after installing 10.5 it no longer works.
Says cable is unplugged, checked the cable on other devices and the router and cant see any problems on system profiler.
Any ideas ?

Cat6 cables are not required or beneficial for most home situations. The purpose of Cat 6 cables is to be able to work around a electronically "noisy" area, or to pinch out a little bit more throughput in a Gigabit network.
If you change a cable to Cat6 it will still work at the Cat5 or 5e standard if any of your other cables are not Cat6.
I'm running GB ethernet using hundreds of feet of Cat5e wiring into several rooms. No problems with Leopard.

Master data tables not available after installing trail version sap abap

Hi Experts,
After installing trail version of sap for practicing SAP ABAP..i am not able to access master data tables like MARA EKKO etc.
Please let me know how i can access these tables data .
Is there any alternate to access these tables?
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
Master data table and any other application table are not present in trail systems. Notice that solely purpose of those trials is to learn/practice basis stuff and ABAP programming.
If you need to practice ECC's modules like FI, SD, ... you need to have an access to IDES system. For this you need to be SAP partner or customer.
cheers

OMiC will not work after installing Leopard

Does anyone know why OMiC will not work after upgrading to Leopard?
After downloading Leopard, went into mail and tried to open a windat file, but a message came up stating OMiC disabled. I deleted that version, and tried to download OMiC 1.7.7 but it won't even get thru the download menu, it stops at "installation" gives me a choice of Tiger, or Panther, and it will not let me go any further. Has this happened to anyone else???

I am not sure any of the solutions for these files have been made Leopard compatible -- I saw another post about this not long ago. See:

Macbook does not start after installing Leopard

I installed/upgraded to Leopard but had to cancel it despite the warning that the machine maz not be able to start up again. Hours later i started the mac again and the installation programe came on immedialtey. Installation was completed but on the restart it gets stuck. It just loads )apple sign with little loading sign below) but nothing happens!
Please help!!

If you bought your RAM at a place that also sells PC RAM you may have gotten mislabelled RAM. PCs can handle different RAM speeds so they’ll often label higher speed RAM as a lower speed rather than make two different speeds of RAM. But Macs are much more picky. They require a RAM stick to be exactly 667mhz not 675mhz or 800mhz. The way to tell is to put one of your old RAM sticks in and it will force the new RAM to run at the correct speed.
This is from one review of PNY RAM:
"These modules are actually 800Mhz. PNY no longer makes or sells 667Mhz modules. Not all computers that require 667Mhz are compatible with 2 800Mhz modules. They refuse to down clock properly. This is especially true with a number of Core 2 Duo MacBooks. Spoke to PNY support, they flat out told me that yes, they sell 800Mhz modules in 667Mhz packaging. If you RMA a module that is 667Mhz (or supposed to be 667Mhz) they will replace it with an 800Mhz module as they no longer have any 667Mhz SODIMMs, not even for RMA replacement!"

DVD Studio Pro 4 will not open after installing Leopard

I had trouble opening my film project in FCP studio 2 but resolved the problem by trashing the preferences. This did not help other programs like DVD studio pro which will not open at all or crashes as soon as it is open. It also gives me strange messages while it tries to open like" Media-application quit unexpectedly." Would re-installing help? I would have to begin with FCP studio pro and then update all the programs again. Is there an easier way to solve this problem? (Leopard is causing other programs to quit unexpectedly but I don't get messages that some part of the application has quit).

So far it seems the advice when going to Leopard is to due a total clean install of Leopard on a clean drive before installing the applications.

Imovie will not open after installing leopard

Leopard was installed and then ilife 08. Imovie would not open- what do I need to do?

welcome cw50 to the  boards..
reading the iM08 and the Leopard boards here at apple-discussions, and other ext. boards, you'll notice many topics like yours..
there's actual no 'official' or unofficial workaround to fix that ..
just to add to database:
did you made a clean-install of 10.5. on your System?
or, as most of us would do, just 'upgrade' your OS, without reinstalling all software...?
and, please, don't hesitate to give Apple directly feedback:

Keyboard not responding after installing Leopard Server

I just upgraded on of our old 10.4 Servers to 10.5 and when it boots up the initial setup screen where you pick the language and enter the serial number, the keyboard doesn't respond. I tried different keyboards, resetting PRAM, single user mode with disk repair and nothing seems to work. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it would be appreciated.
