After re-install, strange things are happening with my emails

I had a crash during an optimization adventure with TechTool Pro when I was running 10.4.10. Since I had problems with this version (another issue), I did an archive and install for 10.4.8, with a subsequent upgrade to 10.4.9, and stopped there. So when I moved the mailboxes from the previous system folders to the active ones, my emails "disappeared". The mailbox windows are completely empty. In one mailbox, I "lost" nearly 2000 messages that I needed to archive. On my iMac, I have about 60% of those emails saved and backed up.
I put quotes around "lost" and "disappeared" because I can open the files with TextEdit. They're complete and intact. But I can't open them up within Mail.
I rebuilt the mailboxes, with no success.
So what can I do to get Mail to recognize these invisible email files? Can anyone suggest a way to get Mail to recognize these files?

Rather than tinkering with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/, you should have either restored the whole ~/Library/Mail folder as if it was a monolithic entity, or import the mailboxes by means of File > Import Mailboxes.
That said, if Mail doesn’t recognize the messages in those mailboxes even after rebuilding them, chances are that importing them by normal means wouldn’t have worked either. In that case, you may try using emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the *.emlx files to standard mbox format, then import that in Mail as Other.

Strange things are happening to my MacBook. Please help.

Since buying my first MacBook nearly two years I have not had a single problem with it until earlier this week, when strange things started to happen.
1) The first obvious problem was that my dock lost its settings.
2) Then the green light at the top of the screen was on when I turned on my computer. Although this was resolved by shutting down and restarting, I have no idea why it was on in the first place.
3) Thirdly, my email disappeared from Mail. After exploring, I found out that one of the check boxes in preferences had disabled my account and when I checked it again my email reappeared.
4) And finally, it seems to be getting slower and slower. Whether it is opening a program such as Mail, opening system preferences or restarting, it all seems to be taking longer than I previously remember. However, once things are up and running they are generally fine.
After doing some research I have found two possible fixes: resetting PRAM and resetting the System Management Control. The problem is that although I can read how to do them, I have no idea if they will fix my problems or what the implications of doing either are.
So, do you think it would be a good idea to reset either the PRAM or SMC? If so, which should I do or what order should I do them in?
Also, what, if any, are the risks of doing either? As I understand, my settings for things like the display will be reset but not things like wifi or the firewall, and all my programs, updates and files will remain untouched. Is that correct?
Anyway, I hope that all makes sense and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.

Hmm, free space is okay, though some folks would say it's a little on the low side.
How much RAM do you have in your computer?

Run the application--it will give a report for your drive's physical health. If you get anything other than "Passed" you will probably need to replace the drive.

N8-Social-client; strange things are happening !!!

Hi, i just discovered a very strange issue with the social client on my N8; today is one of my FB-friends birthday and when i was checking this friends profile on my N8 there was already a post from myself wich i haven't written. I checked this friends profile on FB on my PC and there i could see that this post was actually from somebody else (wich of course it was since i didn't wrote anything). I logged out on my PC and checked again on my N8's social client and there again it shows my name and picture on that post. What is happening?

All of the sudden FF is running very slowly & other strange things are happening as well???

I have FF ver. 5 and for about a week now it is taking way longer than normal to load any and all pages. My OS is Windows 7 & I'm on a dual core processor computer that runs each processor at 3.40 GHz.
I can't play any of my games because of how slow it is running. I'll click on a dropdown menu or something of the like like the "Tool's" menu and it will suck up so I'll have to push on it several more times before it will finally stay open and I can choose something. It also takes much longer for it to close down completely. Start up is running at normal for the most part. Every once in a while it will take a while to load and open. It has also been crashing way more than it ever has before and for no apparent reason.
I've done everything I know to do like clearing cookies and history to no avail. I've even run a virus scan which only came up with some tracking cookies, no viruses or anything like that. I have also done a disk clean up and defragged (which I do every week).
I know about 3 days before this started happening I updated the Java stuff and that's it.
I'm at my wits end as I work on the internet for a living and this is making it very difficult and frustrating to get anything done.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!! :( Cheryl

Strange Things are Happening...

Hello,
Whenever I turn on or restart my Mac mini v. 10.4.3, it successfully logs in until it reaches the desktop. Then everything disappears, leaving only my background, and then reappears. However it disappears again and goes into an endless loop of everything - the top bar, the dock, any windows open, all icons on the desktop - disappearing and then, around 3 seconds later, reappearing. Whenever I try to start a program it doesn't start. The finder window will open and then disappear with everything else. I have to start my computer in Verbose mode and enter in a string of text (number 7 at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464 has the text I must enter). Is there anything I can do to stop my computer from doing this? I posted here before and got a fix, but as I said, it is only temporary. I must do that fix every time I log on. I'm looking to fix it once and for all.
Thank you!

Just a couple of things first. 1. Single-user mode isn't verbose mode. Thus, to boot into single-user mode, restart holding down the S key and not the V key. 2. Your problem appears to be the Finder crashing.
Before redoing the steps in the document you cited, do this:
Insert you install/restore disk.
Reboot into Open Firmware: restart holding down the CMDOPT+OF keys. Then, type these in, sequentially, following each by the return key:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
The last command restarts the machine; thus, hold down the S key to get into single-user mode.
Once you do that, then type these in, sequentially, following each by the return key:
mount -uw /
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferences.old
mv /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist preferences2.old
mv /Library/Caches Caches_old
chmod 1775 /
reboot, holding down the C key.
Click on the install icon, select Disk Utility from Utilities, and repair the disk and permissions, quit DU, select Startup Disk, select the Internal HD, and click restart.

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening. How do I recover to normal?

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening.
The groups I had set up disappeared and the Group button is gone.
When I first open the app, it opens 8 - 12 separate windows with 1 blank tab. The orange Firefox button is there with nothing else on that bar. Also, 3 tool bars are blank (i.e. space is there but it's just grey) with NO buttons.
If I want my previously opened tabs, I have to use the "Recently Closed windows" option to get back to where I was when I last closed down. The orange Firefox button is missing from this window but all the original menu items are back across the top.
So how do I get back to the way it is supposed to operate?

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. Help!

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!! I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.
Thanks for any help!!

Download and installed LR6 and nothing happens with it. Doesn't open or a thing. Now what?

Download and installed LR6 and nothing happens with it. Doesn't open or a thing. Now what? Do not know if I should uninstall it and try again or ????

I had the same problem (Lightroom CC doesn't appear to run on Widnows) and your solution worked for me. Note that it isn't enough to just close and restart Creative Cloud. This is what I did:
Open Creative Cloud
Open Preferences and hit Sign Out
Sign back in again...
Now start Lightroom CC. This brought up a dialog labelled Photoshop CC saying that it needed to be signed in. When I dismissed it Lightroom then started up.
Something else I noticed that may help diagnose this issue is that the file amt.log contained the line:
04/21/15 23:09:07:623 | [INFO] | | | | AMT | | | 8804 | Application licensing status has changed to unlicensed.

HT1926 after i install itunes it comes up with a error saying it was installed incorrectly. I have uninstalled and installed it 3 times. Help

After I install itunes it comes up with a error message saying it was installed incorrectly and that I won't be able to import or burn cds. I have uninstalled it 3 times and re installed it. Still happening. I have taken my computer to get looked at and there is nothing wrong with it.

After I install itunes it comes up with a error message saying it was installed incorrectly and that I won't be able to import or burn cds.
That suggests damage to the GEAR drivers, but we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

We stopped receiving event about lockout users after we installed rollup 4 for tmg with sp2

We have implemented Account Lockout Feature in TMG 2010 (http://www.ntsystems.it/post/ActiveSync-ForeFront-TMG-and-AccountLockoutThreshold.aspx). We configured
alert definition to send alert when problem occure. After we installed rollup 4 we stopped receiving event about this probloem ("The limit of consecutive logon failures has been reached...."). How can we resolve this problem? We have implented
a script which send this information automatically to user with problem. This is very important for us.
Event description:
Source: Microsoft Forefront TMG Web
Event ID: 32581
Level: Error
Text: limit for consecutive logon failures has been reached. Additional logon attempts by domain.local\user.name will be automatically rejected for the next 300 seconds

Hi,
Before going further troubleshooting, we should confirm if account lockout works fine now.
Please refer to the article below to check some limitations on this function.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/isablog/archive/2012/11/01/using-the-account-lockout-feature-in-tmg-2010.aspx
Is there any other different information after you install Rollup 4? Or what something else do you change during update to RU4?
Best Regards

Content of screen moves to right of screen and truncates, scroll bar missing. Full screen restores display but hides all other functionality. Does not happen with IE, email or Office Suite

FF 5 screen display shifted to the right, leaving left side of screen blank. The full screen option restores the display to normal but the menu bars are no longer visible. Exiting full screen moves the screen to the right another quarter, leaving 3/4 of the screen to the left blank. This only happens with the Firefox browser. Explorer, email and all other applications (Office, i.e.) display correctly.

Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 installed? If so, disable it.

ICal invitations are sent with work email calendar and respond to personal

Ical is set up to receive my work calendar called [email protected] Work email is a google webmail account. Office workers send invited to me from google calendar. I can accept these and they DO show on my .mac Ical.
On Ical, i have a list of standard calendar topics (home, work, school, etc). I have the shared google calendar set up as a second calendar on the ICal application. No problem.
My VCard has all work information. No personal at all. Work email, etc.
My email mailboxes for both inbound and sent Are in rank order meaning "work" email is draqgged over ".mac personal" on both scenarios.
Problem is This: When I create invites for "work calendar" , a new event pops up, "work email" shows as the Calendar and everything looks good and it does go to the invitee.
1. Invitee receives the invitation and the invite states that it is from the ".mac PERSONAL" calendar
2. My name shows as the organizer however has my personal email as the default (Not my work email as listed in my VCard)
3. Most annoying of all, my "[email protected]" email address(If clicked on by the invitee) states my Wifes name on the email address bar.
I have checked everywhere as to why my wife is showing up as the "owner" or my personal .mac account. Not anywhere on my .me account, .mac account, VCard, etc.
Help?
I want to send my invites from my work email account using Ical with the responses showing, and responding to the same work email address. Simple right?

I have to admit... Im getting frustrated.
I deleted the shared google calendar. Starting over. I created a work calendar called "MSL" under the "calendars" drop down in ical.
Created a test event, sent it to a personal account, clicked the link to accept and the link sends me to Entourage? See Below... Says iCal... Link goes to Entourage.
MSL Packaging and Fulfillment' has invited you to the iCal event: New Event Test, scheduled for December 16, 2009 at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
I want to:
1.Sync google calendar with my [email protected] webmail account and my ICAL.
2. Send invites from my ICAL when using my work address in imail, have them send from my work address, respond to my work address, and show up on google and ical calendars.

Half of my contacts are "synced" with an email address I want to delete off of my iPhone. How do i "save" them?

I currently have an email address I no longer use on my iPhone. Whenever I delete it, I always lose a bunch of contacts (I can tell because I have random numbers in my text messages). So I always have to add the account back. How do I get those contacts which are apparently attached to the email account (although they are only numbers, no emails) to "save" to my iPhone? I don't even know where to find which ones are going to be deleted until I delete them. Thanks in advance!!

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Email issues after Yosemite upgrade. Several things are happening, I delete messages only to get a error indicating that I can't delete them or if I do delete them, they reappear sometime later.

I use Apple mail on an IMAC & IMAC Mini. As I move from one to the other these email issues persist on both.
I try to clean out my email by deleting emails. I sometimes get an error message indicating I can't delete the message or when I do delete the message, then sometime later or when I go on the other computer these deleted messages reappear. I am also getting emails from some senders but the actual content belongs to another person.
I had none of these problems prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
