Updating to 10.5.8 has screwed up my iMail

Have just updated my iMac (1.83 GHz intel iMac) to OSX 10.5.8 and all seems really good apart from my iMail.
Am now unable to open Preferences in iMail, hear that I have new messages but can't find them and have lost JUNK folder in the list of folders.
Any idea how I can repair my iMail???
HELP!

You also might want to try rebuilding your mailboxes. Choose the "Mailbox" item on Mail's menubar and select "Rebuild" at the bottom of the dropdown menu. If "Rebuild" is grayed out, that would suggest that you have more than one account, so you would need to click on the ▶ to the left of "Inbox" in your "Mailboxes" so that the inboxes expand to show the actual mail acounts. Then select each account's mailbox one at a time and choose "Rebuild." Repeat for "Sent," "Drafts," etc.
As a future point of reference, when future software updates are posted, rather than install the incremental updates via Software Update, you might want to instead google, for instance, "10.5.8 combo update" and download it from the Apple site and (re)apply the combo update, even though you might be going from "10.x.y-1" to "10.x.y." Over the years, I've read enough complaints in these forums about stuff getting broken with updates and successful recommendations to use the combo updates regardless, that that is how I have been doing my software updates for years with no problems. Also, I always run disk utility verify disk (and repair from installer DVD or bootable clone, if necessary) and disk utility repair permissions before applying combo updates. If you do all those things, I would claim that you will run a significantly lesser risk of running into problems like this.
If none of these things help you out, and if ALL of your accounts are IMAP accounts, you could try quitting Mail, then going into your home folder's Library, select the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders, control-click on them and choose "compress" (this is so you don't lose anything in case things go wrong). Then, since you can't get into your Mail's preferences, you are going to have to figure out what all your accounts' settings are: smtp server name and port, SSL or not, same for IMAP, then trash your Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail and relaunch Mail. It will look like a first run of Mail and you will have to recreate all of the email accounts' information. If any of your accounts are POP, this procedure may need to be modified a bit in order to protect and/or recover your email; I don't have any POP accounts so can't really speak to that. Others here could, though. But hopefully, you wouldn't have to go to these extremes.
PS - your profile indicates you are running Tiger, but this is a Leopard mail forum; I assume that your profile is just out of date and that you are in fact running Leopard?

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'. My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen.
My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'. Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today. I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

I recently downloaded a 10.6.8 update and a game program has now been reduced in size. It's specifications are set for full screen, but it is about 1/4 of the size. Any ideas how to fix?

I recently downloaded a 10.6.8 update and a game program has now been reduced in size. It's specifications are set for full screen, but it is about 1/4 of the size. Any ideas how to fix?

Hi, I have got the same problem but all is 1/4 the size have you fixed it?

My PC no longer recognizes my I Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I Tunes has not helped.

My Win 7 PC will not recognize my I-Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I-Tunes has not helped. What else can I try?

irst off, you can connect the device to another computer to import the photos. Second the error that you are seeing is a Windows error and you would have to look that one up on Microsoft.com. You should be able to remove the device from Device Manager, unplug the phone, wait a moment and then plug it back in. It should recognize it then and load the driver.
The message board is no longer allowing me to reply from that site. In answer to above, I don’t have another computer. Yes, what I sent is a windows error message but this is NOT a windows error. From what I can see online from others, this is a problem many are having as a result of something in the new OS we downloaded to keep our I-phones current. Everything worked fine before downloading the new OS and nothing changed in our systems except the new OS. Apple needs to diagnose the problem and develop a fix!

IB:How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions?

Dear friends
first of all thanks for your time and valuable solutions
Install base: How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions
problem description:
Install base > quick search
Here is Installbase record, when I query from quick search
Rec#     Item          Item Instance           Serial Number          Status
1     300-7000-01      3000000           1000XXX-0538JQ0003 Return for Adv Exchange

looking above data, first and third records are the legitimate serial numbers(correct according to the client specs), second record is not legitimate since it has a dash as suffix, we found there are many illegitimate serial Numbers exists, needs to be updated with the right serial Numbers which I analyzed in excel after pulling data from mtl_material_transactions , oe_order_lines_all , mtl_serial_numbers , mtl_system_items_b
basically these are all RMAs
I need to update the second record as 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-B as per the guidelines, while updating I need to keep all the existing contracts, Warranty, what ever material transations it has, need to be same.
we have a package updating the serial numbers using IB API (csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance) but it is updating only the records which has no serial numbers present for that instance, if there is a serial number already exists it is not working.
user define error msg "Serial Number 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003- has Inventory Material Transactions. This serial number cannot be used to update an existing Item Instance", but I need to update this anyway!! or am I missing something here, please advice me
below post looks like similar issue, talks about hard update, I have no clue, by doing that the updated serial number will have same transations, contracts, dates....attached to it like the previous serial number
IB UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE ERROR - doesn't allow ACTIVE_START_DATE to change
would be great If you guys help me out, really appreciated!!
unfortunately I couldn't find any solutoin in metalink for the existing serial number update

Used this. May not be perfect but should get you there. Only if the table is registered (all the seeded tables should be registered) this will work.
select distinct a.table_name,b.column_name from fnd_tables a, fnd_columns b
where a.table_id=b.table_id
and upper(b.column_name) like '%SERIAL%'
Also this is very old one but if you need history for this change add the history insert logic as well..

The iPod " " could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).

This is what saved my day... I copied this from a longer reply.
"Try this: I got error 1417. The iPod "Dan's iPod" could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).
1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status."
The only thing I would add, restart your computer with the IPOD left connected. When it starts back up you are set.

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

RE:

Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.

My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
-When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
