  • On yahoo home page, why does the mail icon not work since they updated?

    None of the stuff located on the left side of page work. To get to yahoo mail, I have to type "mail" in the search box to get the link. The home page of yahoo is just totally messed up now. I am running Firefox 33.1.1 on Linux Mint 9 if that means anything.

  • Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

    I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
    Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

    I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.
    Here are some of the reports:

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • Why does my free trial not work?

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

    why does my command c not working?

    Hi,
    In relation to what ?
    Your post has ended up in the iChat Community and does not appear to have anything to do with iChat or Messages.
    My first thought would be have you highlighted something that you want to copy from one place to another ?
    My second would be that you have created a CMD + C custom keystroke and there is conflict with the OS use of this.
    My third would be there just is not enough info to work on

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

    I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
    More info, please.

  • Yosemite Apple Mail search not working

    Upgraded Mac mini from Mavericks to Yosemite.
    Search within Apple mail is not working.
    Come to think of it, search everywhere seems to be broken. It's as if Spotlight is not working too well.

    FINALLY I found a way to fix this issue, at least for me:
    Boot into SAFE mode: OS X Yosemite: Start up in safe mode
    Run Applications -> Disk Utility
    Click on your hard drive's volume
    Click and run Repair Disk Permissions
    Reboot
    Voila! Fixed at last!
    I also found that Alfred was hanging on startup, probably same reason as Alfred uses Spotlight in the background.
    No more issues.
    What's weird is that I finally bit the bullet and installed Yosemite on my 13" Retina MacBook Pro and had no spotlight issues whatsoever. Weird.

  • Mail search not working, here's what I tried so far

    Hi folks,
    The problem: Search in Mail no longer works. I can search for a mail that came in 5 minutes ago (and I’m looking at it in my inbox or one of the folders) but Mail won’t find it. Spotlight in the Finder seems OK but it has periods where it can’t find stuff or just doesn’t work at all. This problem did not start when I upgraded to Yosemite, it started a few days ago (at least I don’t recall this problem before this week). When I do a search for an email address, the search box does suggest names of people that I may be looking for but once clicked, 0 results.
    Troubleshooting tried so far:
    1. Rebuilt spotlight index on Macintosh HD and all other drives - issue persists.
    2. Rebuilt spotlight on just the ~/Library/Mail folder - Fix but breaks again after roughly 10 minutes.
    3. Deleted Envelope Index files in Mail/V2/MailData folder, start mail and let it import - issue persists.
    4. Rebuilt mailboxes - Fix. Can now search in rebuilt folder but only once. Have to rebuild after every search.
    5. Disk Utility permissions repair - issue persists.
    6. Recovery partition ACL repair - issue persists.
    7. DiskWarrior on Macintosh HD - Fix, lasted about a day.
    8. Archive and install - issue persists (and made Finder spotlight functionality worse).
    9. Erase and install, import from drive clone - Fix, lasted a few hours (Finder spotlight fixed for an hour).
    10. The above with a freshly downloaded 10.10.1 installer, incase something was wrong with the original - Issue persists.
    11. Safe boot, repair permissions and drive - issue persists.
    12. Switched to Classic View in Mail - issue persists.
    - Have not touched the preferences, modification dates show these files have not changed for many months.
    - Archive/clean installs were done with drive encrypted and unencrypted, made no difference.
    Other Info:
    I have been migrating my Mail from system to system since early 2003. Never had any issues, ever, until now. The Mail folder is 20GB in size, never experiences slow downs, spinning ball etc, it has always been very fast in scrolling through content and searches. All Mail is stored in folders (sorted by rules) on the Mac, nothing is kept on the mail servers except recent stuff in the Inboxes that has not been sorted yet. Junk and Trash are emptied multiple times a day. 9 mail accounts are set up and in use.
    I want to stay far away from an erase and install, setup as brand new. Rebuilding Mail alone will take days if not weeks. I am hoping for suggestions I have not thought about. I have read a lot of similar threads where people experience the same or similar issues but I have not found any solutions.
    During all this I have kept an eye on the Console. Some of the things I made note of:

    I don’t know if Mail utilizes Spotlight as it has it’s own index files (right? the envelope indexes) but spotlight is having plenty of issues as well. I don’t know if Mail or Spotlight is the problem. Spotlight is ALWAYS indexing, always. No way to see how much time is left or anything. Any help appreciated!

    I would concur. But, I'd even push for the Core Solo, if price is a real issue for you.
    On the keyboard/mouse question, I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and really like it. (It doesn't have the top plastic cover like other Apple keyboards, so you can really vacuum it out well.) If an ethernet cable is more clutter than you want, the extra cables for the keyboard and mouse will be significant. FWIW, I bought the BlueTake BT500 Bluetooth mouse. It's really tiny, and uses up batteries like they're going out of style (but I use rechargables), but otherwise, it's very nice and since it's so small it reduces wrist fatigue.

  • Spotlight & Mail Search Not Working After Deleting email Account's '.OfflineCache' File.  How Do I Get Back to Normal?

    Running OSX 10.7.4 and Mail.5.2.
    One of 3 email accounts was constantly trying, but unable to synch.  The rotating splines were turning non-stop but not synching (other two email accounts worked just fine.)  After doing some searching on the internet, I found several articles about this.  Many included the symptom of the "Recovered Messages" constantly being recovered/generated.  I had noticed that I would get some recovered messages on occaision, but had never noticed it to be problematic.  These articles suggested that the ".OfflineCache" file for that email account had been corrupted or the root of my problem.  So, I deleted the .OfflineCach file as per this article...
    Fix OSX Mail Creating Multiple 'Recovered Message
    Well that got my mail working again.  However, I soon noticed that spotlight no longer works and when I try to search mail, it doesn't work.  It will only return a complete email address/contact; it doesn't search the contents of the email.
    I tried to get spotlight to re-index the hard drive.  However, when I try to drag a folder or volume to it, I get the error:
    Since spotlight and mail search have always worked flawlessly for 5 years, I'm confident this is related to having deleted " .OffflineCache" for that particular email account.  However, it seems strange that mail search won't work for the other email accounts.
    Any other tips for getting spotlight back online?
    How about the .OfflineCache file.  Will Mail restore it, replace it on it's own?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, looking back, not long before this problem started, I was trying to send a single email with numerous pictures ( around 50 or so.)  I forgot to select "medium" for the picture size and it started trying to upload them at full size.  I realized this after a minute or two and cancelled the upload, changed to 'medium' and sent the email with no problem.  I point this out because the "Multiple Recovered Messages" error seems to be related to or being induced by having an excessively large file in the particular mail account's .Offline.Cache file.

    Well, a couple days later and it seems that the .offlinecache has been rebuilt.  Finder, Spotlight, & Mail search all seem to be working normally now! 

  • Mail search not working

    I've tried several times to perform a search for the word "marin" in my emails... I know that a guy emailed me a week or so ago and said he was in Marin county, so I know that it's there...but for some reason when I search for it within Mail, no results come up.
    I decided to try this with a bunch of different words... none of them work. The only way I'm able to search for content within my messages is to search by name in the "To" or "From" sections of the search menu...
    Any suggestions?

    make sure your Mail folder is indexed by spotlight. go to system preferences->spotlight->privacy pane. what do you have there? if Mail folder is not excluded try reindexing your home directory. add your home folder to the privacy pane for about 5 seconds and remove it from there. it should be reindexed. if that does not help reindex the whole hard drive in the same way. try mail search then.
