Trying to import older .mbox files into Apple mail

I have been trying to import older .mbox files back into Apple mail over an hour.
No matter what I use in the import window, nothing seems to work.
If it imports it sends it to the mail downloads folder but nothing from that point on.
I can read text in TextEdit but it's all running together.
OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard

I noticed on the left side way down past my last mail box folder ( long list) for the import .mbox files.
Seems they were hidden !

  • How do I import my mbox file for Apple Mail?

    I just did a clean install of my mac os on an iMac. Prior to the install, I exported my mail account to an external drive. I got an INBOX.mbox file/folder that's 4.32GBs. When I click the file, there is an "mbox" file and a "table_of_contents" file.
    In Apple mail, I chose import mailboxes - Mail for Mac OS X - and clicked the file. It brings an INBOX folder into the ON MY MAC folder... but no mail. I have tried this a 1/2-dozen ways and cannot get my mail to reload. I assume it's there since the file is 4.32GB.
    Anyone have thoughts on this? This is business mail that I need for sure. I feel confident that the files are there since the file is so big. What gives?

    It's a mac drive, however, I got past that issue by copying the file to my desktop. The issue now is that it won't load all of the way. It crashes mail half way through. I get mail back to 2011 when it should go back to 2008.
    Thoughts?

  • I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored - Help?

    I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored … Help?

    Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
    Also if you have imported them then  this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
    http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
    the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

  • Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

    Hi
    b Summary of problem:
    *I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
    *I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
    *I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
    b HOWEVER...
    *I can edit same footage in PRE7
    *This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
    *I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
    *Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
    *PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
    *OS: Vista 64 bit
    b Detail:
    I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
    Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
    But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
    i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
    Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
    i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
    To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
    HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
    Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
    Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
    NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
    Please someone help before I lose the plot.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I'd just like to add an update to this post.
    b Summary:
    *K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
    *Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
    *You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
    b Detail:
    As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
    Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
    Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
    To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
    If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
    *Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
    *Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
    *Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
    Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
    I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

  • "Input contract violation" error message when trying to import a .wav file into AE?

    I am trying to import a .wav file into AE and keep getting an "input contract violation" message from the program followed by it shutting down. If it means anything, I bought the song online, but it has been paid for and I downloaded the .wav file after my purchase. Any idea of why this may be happening? Are there any particular settings which may be mandatory on the project timeline to import a 3min song? Thank you!

    YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

  • Geting an error trying to import a data file into OWB repository

    Hi,
    We're using OWB 11.1.0.7.0
    I'm trying to import a new data file and I'm getting an error.
    When I go to The Project/Files/ I right click on the module I want to add the files to,
    I get a 'Wizard' titled 'Welcome to the Import Metadata Wizard'.
    I click next.
    I get the 'Filter Information' screen that asks if I want to select 'All Data Files' or a specific file.
    I pick 'All Data Files' and click 'next'.
    I get the 'Object Selection' screen that has a left and right panel. The left side is titled 'Available' and the right side is titled Selected.
    The 'Available' panel had the directory in Linux (/etl/datafeeds/dev) where our data files are stored with a plus sign next to it.
    When I click the plus sign, I get an error message that says:
    API2836: Directory
    /etl/datafeeds/dev does not exist.Has anyone seen this? What is the work around? Is it a bug? How do I import a data file into OWB if this isn't the way to do it?
    Thanks,

  • Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

    I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

    Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

  • How do you drag a file into Apple Mail when it's full-screen?

    I love the full-screen mode for Apple Mail.  However, when I attach files to mail messages, I prefer to drag files to my message (since they often come from various finder windows I might have open).  However, in Mission Control or via swiping, I couldn't find a way to drag and drop a file in there.
    I also tried dragging the file to the Mail icon on the dock, which spring-loaded the full-screen Mail app, but when I tried to drop it into the New Message window, it flashed but nothing happens.
    Kinda annoying you can separate the New Message window into a separate mail window.  Often I like having my New Message window dragged to another desktop so I can type an email in the context of reviewing and image mockup, etc.
    Conrad

    I guess for me, sometimes I start typing the email and then decide to attach something.  Or want to attach files from different folders to a single email.  Your tip unforunately doesn't work in those cases.  Maybe it's just me, but attaching files often is the last thing I do right before I send the mail.

  • Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

    I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
    I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now.  No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
    2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
    I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
    I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
    File name:     VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
    Failed to transfer data
    Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
    I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
    I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
    I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server.  I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
    I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
    Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts.  Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
    I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work.  Please advise.
    Thanks.

    The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

  • I am trying to import outlook .olm file to Mac Mail, it is not working

    I am trying to switch my mail to Mac Mail I have 8 GB of data from Mac Outlook. It saves as .olm file I am trying to make this work???

    Use the clients and temporary folders (mailboxes) on the mail server as a form of a conversion utility.
    Launch whatever mail client can read whatever client-specific archive format containing the source mail messages, access the archives from that mail client, select and then move the messages from the archive to temporary folder(s) you've created on your mail server.  
    These "temporary" folders are used to avoid getting your archived mail mixed in with your current mail; you probably don't want to dump a hundred old messages into your current inbox, for instance.
    Launch the target mail client, select the tempoary folder on the mail server, select-all the messages in the folder, and transfer (drag) the messages back from the server.
    Using select ranges or seelct-all to select ranges of messages, you can transfer buckets of mail messages in bulk with a drag operation between folders.   
    Your transfers will be limited by the storage quota on your mail server, so use whichever mail server you have with the largest quotas as your "conversion" mail server.

  • Can't import mbox file into Mail anymore

    Hi all, I am getting nowhere with this issue...I have archived my Apple Mail inbox and then turned around and imported it into Apple Mail (so as to have it on the local computer, not the network) many times in the past. It no longer works. I got to File>Import Mailboxes. I get the window "Import data from:" and my choices for file formats are "Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, Eudora, Files in mbox format." I first chose "Files in mbox format" as I have in the past. I hit "Continue." I go to the folder where I keep my archived mail. I click the containing file for my most recent export, "Inbox 5.mbox." This opens a new window listing "Items to import" that I may check off. Every item on this list is an old mbox folder. My new export folder doesn't show up. If I go back, open the containing file I mentioned above, "Inbox 5.mbox" and click the actual mbox file, I get the message, "no valid mbox files were found."
    I've found other threads referring to this and some say the solution is to pick the "Mail from Mac OSX" data type from the import list, the problem is, this is not an option for me!
    If anyone can help I would appreciate it, this is really frustrating...

    We have users who have been importing collections of old pine and alpine messages who are having problems since switching to SL.
    I discovered that alpine has been saving to MBX format, so users ende dup with collections of mixed mbox and MBX files. The "file" command can tell you which file is which format. There is an old program called "mailutil" that can be used to convert MBX to mbox (available in linux "uw-imap" packages). It is also in MacPorts imap-uw, but the latter is not maintained and appears aimed at older versions of MacOSX. There is also a FileImport plugin for Euroda_OSE that seems to handle more of the .mbox files than Apple Mail does, but still has problems with .mbox files from pine for the period 2002--2005. The file command indicates the problem files have long lines. I tried splitting one of the files
    using mh inc, but it had 1000's of messages and a large fraction have the long lines problem.
    Can you read the archived messages using "mail -f <filename>"? What does "file" say?

    what should i do???..i almost done all the  editing in final cut pro and i bought the adobe coz i thought i can  finish all the pending FCP projects in Premier Pro..??

    What is the CODEC in your MOV file(s)? MOV is but a "wrapper," like AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background. It could be that you just need the proper CODEC, or it could be that it is a Mac-only CODEC, and then you will need for the producer to Export in another CODEC, that is PC-compatible.
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on CODEC's, in general.
    Good luck,
