Seriously need help with setting up mail on macbook pro

Please,
someone advise me on how to put my gmail and my workmail accounts into one mail application and organize it. I have been trying to figure it out all day and my head is about to explode. Somehow i managed to pull all the emails from both accounts into the application but it is all a huge mess and is not working as it should.

If your using POP, take a look at this link:

  • Previous PC user needs help with setting up iphone on Macbook

    I just started using the Macbook and will be using this as the primary computer. My iphone 3G was previously syncing to my previous HP PC. I tried plugging in my iPhone to the Macbook and it definitely reads it....but how do i get the Macbook set up so that it serves as "home base." I didn't see any of the applications that i previously had on the PC itunes iPhone page as on the itunes on the Mac. i thought this would happen automatically. I just need a method of being able to update the apps if need be. Or do i need to use the PC for that?
    guidance please.
    thanks

    Your itunes does not automatically show up on your new computer.
    You have to move it there. You can use your back up to do this or the Apple Store will do it for you, or you can call Apple support and they will help you do it.

  • Need help with loading Windows 7 onto Macbook Pro - Bootcamp and parallels

    Hi,
    I have a windows PC and changing over to a Mac. I purchased today Parallels and Microsoft Office for Mac in order to use them on the MacBook.
    Also please note - I need to use Bootcamp for some programs that I need to use - and then also be able to use parallels.
    Where I am up to at the moment is - since there is no disc drive on the laptop where I can insert the disc - I have gone onto my PC and downloaded the Windows 7  usb/dvd download tool setup - however I dont know where I find the ISO file for Windows 7? So if someone could help me with that.
    Alternatively - can someone please let me know if I can just pay and download Window 7 for Mac - and then run it through boot camp etc. If someone can please give me some advice on this - and also a handy step by step guide on how to achieve it.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help!!!! I really appreciate it!
    K

    Thanks Clinton  - When I went into Apple store today, I told him about the programs my husband needs to use for a CBUS course. The guy there said his room mate has done the same thing and cannot use parallels for the programs they need to run (it doesnt seem to work properly) so he is using boot camp to run them and it works fine. So I am wanting to run Boot camp first and then once the course is finished run everything through parallels. 
    So I have gone into Boot Camp - and because there is no Disc drive I cannot insert the disc - so I have gone back onto the PC to put windows onto a USB to then use with Bootcamp. I just cannot find the ISO file path for Windows.
    I hope this all makes sense!
    I am thinking I maybe i will buy the windows ISO file instead of trying to hunt it down on the PC. Do you think this is the best way to do it?

    IRRC the default is unchecked.

  • Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

    Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
    Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
    you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

  • I need help with setting up time machine for backup

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
    The backups are automatic.

  • I need help regarding setting my mail accounts on macbook pro

    I need help regarding resetting my mail accounts on macbook pro

    What kind of accounts do you need to reset? IMAP or POP accounts using one of the many web-based messaging systems? An Exchange server account? Were they working and now just not working any longer?
    You're going to have to be a little more specific in what you need...

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards
    Last edited by Shashwat (2011-06-04 09:47:47)

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

  • Help with setting up Mail on 2 Macs?

    I'm switching from Mailsmith to Apple Mail. I have exported all my Mailsmith mailboxes and successfully imported them into Mail on the desktop Mac, then recreated each in the On My Mac section and dragged all the pertinent messages from the imported boxes to the newly created ones.
    This is my first experience with IMAP and Mail and while I like the fact of being able to access all my incoming mail on both Macs - the G4MDD and the MBP - they run different versions of Mail as the G4 has Leopard 10.5.8 installed while the MBP runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with its later version of the Mail app.
    What I would like to do is have the same mailboxes on both Macs. Is there any way of exporting or moving the database of the On My Mac mailboxes from Mail on the G4MDD to Mail on the MBP?
    I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but I imagine one keeps the active online version's Inbox etc. fairly lean and archives messages to the appropriate mailboxes in the On My Mac section, but unless one does it on both Macs, one no longer would have access to the archived messages on the other machine. Or does one create all the mailboxes in the online/upper portion of Mail so they will all be online and thus always available to all Macs? But if something happens (server messups do happen, even to Apple) one would then risk losing all past history, since the reference Mail is the online version and not the local ones.
    Colour me confused. Newbie to Mail so I would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks

    Worries
    Ok, I've read another article where it says, similarly to the Help bit you quoted:
    "In Mail, you can simply drag one or more mail-boxes from your mailbox list onto the icon representing your IMAP server. Mail copies the mailboxes (even nested ones) and their contents to the server, creating new mailboxes as needed."
    I can't find any icon representing my IMAP server in the Mail window. Nor do I see any IMAP accounts in that window. I see Inboxes for my various accounts (as well as Sent and Trash) but nothing as described in the above quote. Dragging or Option dragging a Mailbox I had created from the On My Mac section to the upper one dosn't work. Sigh. What am I missing?

  • Seriously Need Help With Lightbox Widget In Dreamweaver

    Hi guys, I seriously need your help with this widget.
    I'm not exactly new to Dreamweaver and I've been working on a particular website. Everything was going well until I dropped the Lightbox widget into the page.
    Lightbox gallery displays, but opens images in a new window on its own. Here's an example;
    http://imagesbylady.co.nz/photomike/HTML/promogallery.html
    Yet, when I drop the widget into a completely separate page from the website, it works absolutely fine. Like here;
    http://imagesbylady.co.nz/photomike/HTML/testing.html
    I have exhausted this entire forum on the subject. I don't understand how the widget can work on a blank html page but when dropped into an already designed webpage, it breaks....!
    If you need to have a look at the coding so you can help me further let me know. I've been on this for a total of 11 hours and I still can't figure out what the problem is. Seriously....i'm nearly close to tears! ;-(
    If you could help me out I would be forever grateful.
    Lots of Love

  • Need Help with setting up this Filter

    Hi,
    I need help making a filter sound like the one used in this youtube song.
    I tried setting it up but I've had no success; even though I know for a fact that this filter was made in Logic Pro 9 according to the maker of this song.
    I think there might be a bit of 'Fuzz-Wah' in there too but I've never really used that effect so any tips on that would be great, too.
    Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf017M8SZZE&feature=plcp
    Any help with this would be widely appreciated.
    Thank you :-)

    It sounds like a simple hi Q filter sweep to me but getting close to the original synth sound that it is being used on is the challenge. It might well be that it is the filter on the synth itself is what is being swept. Either way, turn up the filter resonance on a band pass filter and sweep it with the lfo or adsr to modulate the filter cutoff if its the synth filter, or automate the filter frequency  sweep if you use the channel filter.

  • Seriously need help with SB

    My computer got back from being upgraded from ME to XP. I plugged in my speakers (Boston) and installed Sound Blaster Li've! Value. After installation, I restarted, and the sound worked then. I tried logging on AOL, and the sound doesn't come up for the dialing. I then checked the Creative programs. My status?
    Creative Playcenter-Opens, and in a split second, closes out.
    Creative Recorder-Comes up with an error and closes. The error: "Recorder could not find the necessary hardware or drivers to execute properly. Make sure your hardware and drivers are set up correctly
    SBL! Experience-Has sound
    My grandpa told me that he found some sound on a joke he read. I don't understand this. Please help me. This is the informatiom on the subject
    -Creative programs are messed up
    -Sound doesn't work (even on shutting down now)
    -Sound only worked twice, but work on Experience now
    I really need help, since if I don't fix it, I'd either have to buy a new computer, or spend tons of money upgrading my old, dusty windows 98.

    Dwark,
    Sounds like you need to uninstall all Creative Drivers and Programs/Utilities. Then download the uni-pack drivers from the Creative Support Downloads. The problems you are describing sound like the result of either outdated or mismatched drivers. You can not mix the old programs/utilities with the new uni-driver. You can kiss your Creative Recorder good-bye as Creative Labs has not seen fit to provide a new download for this app, only an upgrade, which is useless with the uni-pack. Also, don't be surprised if your Sound Blaster crackles and pops a little sometimes. This happened to me when I upgraded from Windows 98 to XP. It can be 'solved' by disabling sound hardware acceleration for whatever games/apps in which this problem occurs. There are patches for this problem if you have an VIA chipset motherboard(AMD processor). My advice? Since Creative has not seen fit to fix their SB Li've drivers under Windows XP, I will never buy another Creative product ever again. They suck.

  • Need help with Set-ADUser command

    I need a little help with the following command. Im new to PS and I have found this command but it is only one user at a time. I need to be able to update ALL users in AD.
    My goal is this. Someone before me set all Users Home numbers to 1234567899 and I need to remove that and leave it blank. The command below allows me to do that but only one user at a time by entering their SAMID.
    Is there a way to do this for everyone in AD ?
    Set-AdUser –Identity SAMID –HomePhone $NULL

    Yeah sure - 
    Get-Aduser -filter * -properties SamaccountName | Select SamAccountName | % {Set-Aduser -identity $_.SamaccountName -HomePhone $null}

  • Need help with Rules for mail accounts

    Today I deleted a rule for a mail account and now I cant receive mail in 4 of 8 accounts. I'm not experienced with Mac's Mail program. Id there something you have to do for multiple accounts to recieve all mail? I can send but not receive.
    Help!
    ~ Tammy

    It's hard to believe that deleting a rule could have a bearing on the ability to receive messages from any account... unless that rule did something that prevented subsequent rules to process the messages that you apparently can't receive now.
    That is, either having deleted the rule has absolutely no bearing on your problem, or the problem is that those messages are now being processed in an unexpected way by some of your other rules.
    What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? What does "I cant receive mail in 4 of 8 accounts" mean?
