Anyone know why the  Mail application would disappear?

Entire Mail application disappeared over the weekend on a G5 iMac 10.6.8.
It was there on Friday when the computer was turned off.
The computer was off over the weekend.
It was gone on Monday when the computer was turned on.
It is not in the applications, the doc or in the trash.
All security updates were in place.
Any ideas as to why this happened?
Is there some sort of virus or malware that could cause this?
Thank you.

Well, I couldn't wait any longer to get client's email, so I reinstalled it.
If I go under about this Mac and click more information,  it does say iMac G5.
All our iMacs do.
Any way, no idea what happened.
A search of the drive showed up nothing.
Typing the word "Mail" gets the application to show up on the other computers, but not on this one.
The application was not on the desktop.
The trash had not been emptied Friday and it was not there.
The icon was not on the doc.
No one was in the office.
The machine was not turned on.
It is a mystery to me.

  • Anyone know why the Grid View mysteriously disappeared?

    It's not working while in Library Module and when I want to look at file on my camera.
    I haven't upgraded and still on Light Room 3.
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Cheers

    Tell us what you do see when you want to be in Grid mode ... or better yet give us screen capture(s). Also please tell us your operating system.

  • Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them?  When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do.  Is this legit?  An Ad?

    That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

    "flying blind."
    "You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
    "I think I now know what you mean."
    Evidently language is of difficulty for you. 
    Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
    According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem."  It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
    That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation.  Questions, followed by more questions.
    It is not difficult to understand.
    "how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
    Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
    That IS sufficient.  That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]."  That IS what a dialogue IS.   And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed." 
    The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
    As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed." 
    By the way, am I being repetitive.
    Still confused.  Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

  • Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?

    Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?
    I have been looking at my data at the position indicated by the function as a peak, and it is correct at that place the wave has its peak, but the value provided by the function is higher than the actual value at that point.

    The help makes it clear that the VI will make a quadratic fit to the data, so the locations are not integers (i.e. not aligned with you exact data). From that analysis, the peak is between two of your points, and slightly above the neighboring data.
    See the coercion dot. Make the "locations" array DBL (Why did you change it to I64, that makes no sense at all!)
    Quote from the help:
    "Locations contains the index locations of all peaks or valleys detected in the current block of data. Because the peak detection algorithm uses a quadratic fit to find the peaks, it actually interpolates between the data points. Therefore, the indexes are not integers. In other words, the peaks found are not necessarily actual points in the input data but may be at fractions of an index and at amplitudes not found in the input array."
    All clear?

  • Does anyone know why these particular files would load incorrectly through iphone mail?

    I have been having trouble with some images being sent out correctly to my sales people/customers. There are no problems EXCEPT when the files pass through an iphones mail. Sent or recieved the files get small file corruptions or something that results in an image distortion. I send tons of other images that have had no issue. Does anyone know why these particular ones are different? I'm worried I might be using the wrong settings in my save for web to get everything to be read by others accurately.
    This problem doesn't seem to be limited by just the one email either. Every time we email these images through iphone it does this. On two different phones and two different accounts. Try for yourself and I'm sure it will do exactly the same thing unless uploading them to this page has changed them in some way.
    I used illustrator cs6 to make the blue shirt image. The other three were files sent from a customer.
    Thanks

    The following is what comes out the other side.
    This one got renamed to image002.jpg somewhere through the email program.
    The other three didn't change file names.
    Thanks for any help!

    This may depend on your chosen encoding options for the Mails (MIME vs. Base64 or similar) and/or the mails being reduced in size and sliced up server side. Apple (and Google) do stuff like recompressing images when viewing mails on mobile devices from an Apple ID or Gmail account... You have to turn it off in their web frontends....

  • Does anyone know why the tutorials are now 30 minutes instead of an hour? When I purchased the program after buying my iMac it was $100 for 1 year for tutorials of 30 to 60 minutes???

    I am very disappointed that the length of the tutorials offered at my Apple Store have been reduced from 60 minutes to 30 minutes!  As for the $100.00 fee charged for the tutorials it has not been reduced to $50.00 This was an option offered to me for a year when I purchased my iMac.
    Does anyone know why???
    Thanks in advance....

    No need to apologise.   As a newbie, it is easy to stray out of line but it is clear that was not your intention.
    This is a technical forum, as has been written, but you are not alone in raising issues in the way you have.
    Do not be deterred; just re-read the terms and conditions when you have a moment.
    Hopefully this will help for the future.

  • Anyone know why the Finder in OS X disappears while running Firefox?

    Finder disappears while using Firefox, but is viewable with Safari. Anyone have any solutions?

    This is basic Mac understanding. The Finder does not quit, it is backgrounded each time you start, or switch to, another application, and resumes foreground status when you follow one of the choices below.
    In your example, Firefox is running (application or version doesn't matter). You want to open a Finder window. Your choices are:
    Click a mouse button anywhere on your desktop background to make Finder current. Finder keyboard commands now also work because you also have keyboard focus.
    In the current application, press command+tab to see all running application icons. If Finder is already highlighted, you can press return, or if not, use mouse or arrow buttons to select it.
    Move your mouse to the Dock and click on the Finder icon.
