Macmail no longer has the option to delete messages off the server

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my macmail (6.2) no longer has the option to delete messages off the server in preferences / advanced settings.
I recently had troubles with the mailbox quota being full (ie everything stored on the server) and don't want to go in and manually delete things.
The research I've done suggests it should be as easy as checking or unchecking a box, however it's not there where it should be .
Help please!

Hi therese,
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors. Set the Trash section to move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox, and then to Store the deleted messages on the Server. Select how often you want deleted messages to be permanently removed from the server.
Also, if you have stuff in the Trash, and you select some or all of it, and then go to Edit>Delete, it will ask you at that time if you want to delete it from the Server or just the Mac.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

How can I set it to delete messages off my server after they download?

How can I set it to delete messages off my server after they download?

IMAP email is server based. The messages stay on the server and just view them remotely with an email client like Thunderbird. If you want to keep a copy on your computer you need to move a copy of the email message to a folder under Local Folders. If you delete the message off the server, it is going to be gone otherwise.
The delete from the server option is a POP email server. It does not apply with IMAP email.

An event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing.

an event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name in the browser just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing. After control clicking the event it shows all the media that has been previously imported. But it does not allow anything to be done to the event including deleting. This showed up at the beginning of a normal import session. This is fortunately the back-up evant.

Did you perhaps mess with the contents of the library in the Finder?

My iPhoto "share" drop down menu no longer has the burn dvd option. What do I do?

My iPhoto "share" drop down menu no longer has the burn dvd option. What do I do?

That feature was dropped with iPhoto 9. Select the photos you want to burn to disk, export to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu, insert a blank disk in the optical dirive, drag the folder onto the disk icon and drag it to the Trash bin to burm.

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future 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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

How long has the current SPID/Agent Job been running

I have a SQL Agent Job that has 15 steps. Each step executes the same CLEANUP sproc against a database. STEP1 executes CLEANUP against DB1, STEP2 executes CLEANUP against DB2, etc. These 15 databases all have the exact same schema (that was the design
decision - not going to change). The job can run for days. I want to have a MAXMINUTESTORUN configuration (probably set to 4 hours) that the sprocs will check and when that is exceeded the sprocs will nicely terminate and then pick up again
the next time. I want to be able to ask in the sproc, how long has the spid/agent job been running. How is the best way to do this?

Well, the idea for that,
the clean up always runs first on the database it never before and then it will run against the database that has oldest 'Lastrun". you can change this logic if you need.
Using the demo scripts above, try this ...after the scheduling the job.
1. run the job once..it will run the procedure for testA
2.check the output of select * from msdb.dbo.cleanupjob
3. run the job again..it will run the procedure for testB(the reason it picks this is because the cleanup procedure never ran for database testb)
4.check the output of select * from msdb.dbo.cleanupjob
5. run the job again..it will run the procedure for testA(the reason it picks this is because the cleanup procedure ran for database testb atleast once and
will the pick the oldest "last run " database)
6.check the output of select * from msdb.dbo.cleanupjob
you can also ,,replace this block
select top 1 @a= databasename from
(select top 1 1 source,databasename from cleanupjob
where (lastrun is null)
union
select top 1 2 source,databasename from cleanupjob
where (lastrun in (select min(lastrun) from cleanupjob where lastrun is not null))
order by source) A
with
select top 1 @a=databasename from msdb.dbo.cleanupjob where isnull(lastrun,'19000101') in (select min(isnull(lastrun,'19000101')) from msdb.dbo.cleanupjob)
order by id
Hope it Helps!!

ITunes 12.0.1.26 no longer has the Sidebar

I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26, and it no longer has the Sidebar. I can't find it anywhere.
It my preferred way of using iTunes.
Please Apple, bring it back. Why would you take that away?

Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the elipsis ... to enable sources. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection.

My context menu no longer has the options to delete, remove etc.

My context menu no longer has some of the options it used to have. I have disabled a number of add-ons to solve the problem, but it didn't work. I don't find options like opening the link in a different window or tab useful. Could you please tell me how I can change my context menu that has options of deleting, renaming, removing, editing a tab or a folder in my email account (Yahoo)?
Thank you.
Shafiq Islam

Web pages can replace the context menu to their own version and suppress the regular context menu.
You can set the dom.event.contextmenu.enabled pref to false on the about:config page to prevent web pages from modifying the right-click context menu.

HT4623 My iPad no longer has the iTunes app nor the App Store app. It will no longer delete or download. Anyone ever experience this. Geek squad had no advice for me.

MY iPad no longer has an App Store app nor an iTunes Store. I cannot delete nor download. I have tried everything but a reset. Do not know which one I should do. My info is backed up and stored in the cloud , HELP!! Sleepless on South Carolina

Check to see if restrictions are enabled. Settings / General / Restrictions. If they are, you will need to enter the 4 digit code that was set when restrictions were turned on. Then check to see if App store and iTunes are disabled as a restriction.
If that is not the case, or if you have forgotten or do not know the passcode for restrictions, you will need to try:
1. Reset homescreen layout - see if they come back.
2. Restore to Factory settings - Try restoring from a backup afterwards. If the problem still exists, restore and set up as new.

My toolbar no longer has the forward/back options, no box for entering a web address, and no file/view/edit, etc. tabs. How do I get it back?

The old toolbar disappeared about 3 weeks ago. No one else using this computer has the same problem.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Cannot update or backup my 3G. The new iTunes no longer has the backup menu

Hi, looking for help. I have a 3G and want to back it up so I can buy a 5G iphone and transfer all my stuff. The new itunes nolonger has the window to choose to backup or update. Can anyone help...please...

If you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the left-hand sidebar that used to show on previous versions via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to transfer purchases and backup the phone by control-clicking on a Mac, right-clicking on a PC, the iPhone 'device' on that sidebar and selecting the relevant option on the popup that you should get.
Or you can do it via the File > Devices menu option at the top of iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC Alt-F should get the File menu to appear).
