Aliases have disappeared from Mail and I am left with one email address!!

For no apparent reason all my email aliases have gone and I have the choice of one!
Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?
Thanks,
Kevin

Take a look in your Preferences>Accounts>Advanced to make sure the "Enabled" option hasn't been unchecked. That might cause the problem. Mine occasionally go awol and checking Enabled usually solves the problem.

Once again, my .mac aliases have disappeared from Mail.... Arghhh! help?

Once again, with no warning, all my .mac aliases have disappeared from the dropdowns in my Mail app (OS 10.4.11). They still exist in .mac/mobile me webmail, and in Mail i'm still receiving emails addressed to them. But I can't reply to these emails with the alias, nor create new emails with aliases.
I have tried Sync-ing with the site- i recollect that has worked in the past, but now no change. i have tried adding the aliases in with commas after the primary address in Preferences (as is suggested in KB below), but it does not work- and the next time Prefs is open, they are gone. In Mail preferences, the account is listed as ".mac", which is listed in the KB as one of the correct types (the other being imap).
I use my .mac aliases a lot, and have for years. i do NOT like or want to go to .mac/me Webmail to be able to use them. i do NOT want to change them to .me addresses/aliases. I can't stand how they just randomly come and go as far as being available as dropdowns in Mail... what the heck is up with Apple? i'm paying $100 for these kinds of services (excuse me, $99) and they can't keep a few aliases available to their own app (Mail)? If they weren't so deeply embedded in my business uses, i'd ditch the whole thing.
Anyway, enuf ranting; does anyone know the solution or work-around? Nothing in the below KB worked for me, even tho it is supposed to.

If your aliases are disappearing after you enter them, that would indicate that your Mail preferences file has become corrupted. The only solution for that is to delete the com.apple.mail.plist file in Home/Library/Preferences, then restart Mail and setup your account(s) again.
However, before you do that, you must remove all your mail account folders that being with "IMAP-"; otherwise you'll create more problems for yourself. Those are located in Home/Library/Mail.

How do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

If you go onto your ipod, under settings, scroll down to icloud, there should be a botton that says, "delete account". push this, and it should delete an account.

Aperture Star/reject ratings have disappeared from pictures and thumbnails.

After several trouble-free months my star ratings and/or reject crosses have disappeared from the pictures and thumbnails, however the stars can still be seen in the appropriate metadata display. I can still add or delete stars from the metadata. Have I accidentally blanked the display?

do any adjustment badges display on the thumbs ??? chances are you accidentally turned off the display badges option ...
in the manual pages 231 and 243 may be of particular interest ... it deals with metadata overlays and badges ...
keyboard shortcuts 'Y' and 'U' will hide the metadata overlays for viewer and browser views ...
try those ...

HT204150 All my contacts have disappeared from icloud and all my devices

I've just tried to use contacts on my iPhone (4S) to discover they have all disappeared. Checking my other devices, I discover they have disappeared from them also.
Is there any chance of getting them back?
I have tried recovering from Time Machine to my Macbook but it won't let me.
Can anyone help, please?
David

Log out of iCloud and make your Home/Library visible as follows:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then go to your Home/Library/Application Support folder and select the AddressBook folder.
Go into Time Machine, go back in time till you're sure you'll have all your contacts and resotre the AddressBook folder.
Open Contacts and see if your contacts are back. If so the the first thing to do is use the File ➙ Export ➙ Contacts Archive... menu option to make a backup of your contacts.
Then log back into iCloud and see if your other devices will repopulate with your contacts.

HT1689 In a household with one email address but 3 or more devices, we have trouble playing games like Gems, Draw Free etc. with other people. How can we solve this easily?

In a household with multiple devices but one email address, we have problems playing games such as Draw Free, Gems, etc with others. What is the easiest solution?

Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Can you have multiple iTunes accounts associated with one email address?

My current iTunes account is associated with my company email address that I am attempting to change to my personal email address that I share with my husband.The problem is his iTunes account is also associated with this email address. Is there a way to add my account to our joint email address?

No. Purchases made on each account are permanently tied to a unique email address and cannot be changed, and accounts cannot be merged. I think you can add an alternate email address for correspondence if/when you can no longer access email at the original address. See HE68: Apple ID: Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID for more information.

Most of my emails have disappeared from mail Inbox

Hello, last night my emails in my Mail inbox disappeared. I didn't notice at first because the last 10 days are still there, but then I realised that 4 years of email from 1 Nov 2012 up to 2008 (around 20,000 messages) are gone. There are a few for 2008 and then the rest - I had emails back to 2005 have also disappeared.
I am not aware of having done anything different last night - all I did was check my mail as usual - and it was only when I tried to search for an email that I realised my inbox now contains only 300 emails. When I go to iCloud it is the same story. Only 303 emails in my inbox. Trash only contains a few hundred, so its like these emails all just disappeared into the ether
I have no idea what to do or how this happened or what might have caused it. I run Lion 10.7.4 on an old black Macbook and have not installed anything new or upgraded software. I don't download unusual attachments so doubt it is a virus.
Is there any way to try to recover them - my inbox is my filing system so years of important stuff is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks

I am getting bulk junk mail and the sender is using my email address. How do I stop it?

They do not come into my main account, only through Thunderbird. I email myself sometimes, so I cannot make a filter to block myself.

In most cases, someone has acquired your email address and is simply pasting it into the "From:" box when he builds and transmits his spam messages. He hasn't "hacked" your account, and he isn't sending from any equipment you have any control over. Changing passwords almost always has zero effect, since he isn't logging in as you. Have you ever found any of these messages in your Sent folder?
You started a thread, then posted a reply in a separate thread. It's easy enough when you get an email notification of a reply to your thread, as the link in the email will bring you straight here.
If you want to add to your own thread, look in your "profile" here on this forum to find a list of your previous postings. Or bookmark your thread in your browser.
John99 has simply joined your two threads together to help anyone trying to help you.
Since you have no control over what any 3rd party does on his own computer (or more likely, an "owned" or hijacked computer) you can't stop him.
Anyway, why bother with a filter if the bad messages are being placed into Bulk or Spam? Your email provider's anti-spam system would appear to be doing its job. And if they aren't labelled as Spam or Junk, don't be afraid to do so yourself. Good spam and junk filtering is bit more sophisticated than just looking at the ostensible "From:" address; it will also be looking at IP addresses and checking against blacklists for known spam sources, and using heuristics to identify patterns.
Plus what finitarry said. ;-)

Im having problems with my Kids facetime accounts that seem to be because they are both using my itunes and there are conflicts with multiple email addresses? Is it possible to now set the kids up with their own accounts without losing their apps etc

Hi All,
I have my kids using iTunes via thier ipods etc through my own account and this hase been the case for some time?
This has started to cause issues lately with imessaging and facetime, as there seems to be a limit on email addresses that can be associated with one account?
I wonder if I would be best off setting the kids up with their own accounts, but want to be able to do this without them losing their existing apps, music etc?
Is this possible, if so is there a simple process cos I can seem to find anything relating to this?
many thanks, Jim

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

My iCloud mailboxes have disappeared from Mail.app (10.6.8)...

...yet "Window->Connection Doctor" states that "Connection and login to server succeeded.", and I'm still above to view my mail via icloud.com and via my iPod touch and iPad (both 5.1.1); I've been experiencing this problem for more than twenty-four hours now - anybody have any idea what's going on?

Yeah, I've read those threads where I thought the poster might be experiencing the same error as myself - however, none of the posters of those threads are experiencing the same error as myself, and I began experiencing the error early (GMT) on the 16th.

My notes have disappeared from Mail

Suddenly all of the Notes in my Mail app are gone. They are not in Mail's Trash. I imported User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/notes.mbox & there's exactly one note in there. What could have happened? I didn't have Time Machine running - I'm trying to get them off my CrashPlan backup, but this is scary. Where are all my notes?

Mac - after updating creative cloud, all apps have disappeared from "apps" and attempts to install hang for long time.

I recently updated the Creative Cloud app, and suddenly I get a message that I have not yet downloaded any apps. They are all right there in my applications folder, but not in my CC desktop app. When I attempt to install any app, it hangs at 40 or 42% forever..... Please help.

Thanks for your response, John,
I'm not sure what browsers and firewall have to do with this issue. I have been using Creative Cloud as a desktop app since first subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded all of the apps that I use on a daily basis way back then. The only change between seeing all of my apps and not seeing any of them was updating the actual Creative Cloud app itself. There were no other changes. Here is a screen shot of what I saw when attempting to update Acrobat. Below that are two screen shots that may be a signal that my Creative Cloud app is corrupt. Please let me know how to proceed.
This hung at 42% for about half an hour....
This seems quite odd....
InDesign seems normal...

My calendars have disappeared from iPad and iphone

I downloaded ios5 yesterday and synced iPhone and iPad. Changed settings to synch with iCloud- now have no calendars on iPad or iPhone. They are on my computer on the iCloud.

Are you using POP3 or IMAP on all the devices?

Groups have disappeared from Mail

How can I get them back? They are in iCloud, but want them in Mail.

Take a look in your Preferences>Accounts>Advanced to make sure the "Enabled" option hasn't been unchecked. That might cause the problem. Mine occasionally go awol and checking Enabled usually solves the problem.
