AOL Desktop for Mac has placed 5 untitled mail windows on the dock.

After installing Lion on my wifes IMAC we downloaded the latest version of AOL Desktop for MAC. There are now five "untitled" mail windows on the dock. When attempting to close these AOL Desktop for MAC crashes then displays and error window reporting to apple. Relauanching AOL Desktop brings these "untitled " mail windows back to the dock. Anyone know how to eliminate these untitled windows? This is the first of a few bugs that have been caused since the Lion upgrade. Please I know its AOL but my wife likes the interface.

Greetings Papahemi;
I too had the same problem. Here is the solution.
Go to System Preferences and select General.
Near the bottom of the window, deselect (uncheck) "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps."
Launch AOL Desktop, you'll still see the untitled windows. No problem. Now quit AOL and relaunch. No more untitled windows.
Hope this helps.

AOL Desktop for Macs. Anyone have used it?

G4 Digital Audio Version used; supplied with clean HDD and now upgraded OS 10.4.11
I use AOL as an internet service provider for dial up. Don't knock it, but you can if u want I'm cool with people here. I use the dial up because I use two ISP and attend a university. Because now of the blended and distance use of the computer, the importance of having two Internet Service Providers on dial up is important. You see i can always grab another phone line, but not just another DSL.
America Online offers an AOL desktop for Macs. Advertised as designed by mac users for mac users. Has anybody tried this software that must be downloaded?
Since it says AOL for desktop and to me this means i have to look at junk on my computer screen. Plus my now Mac desktop or the screen display appears very fast, and i like the pretty blue. Does anyone have experience with this AOL Desktop for macs?

Hi Patrick!
I haven't installed AOL Desktop For Mac yet but I know you can run both that & AOL For Mac OS X Version 10.3.7 simultaneously.
So you could install it to test drive without losing AOL For Mac OS X.
You may get more information on the boards here AOL & Your Mac.

AOL Desktop for Mac and Mavericks

After installing Mavericks on my iMac, I was pleased to discover that all of my existing programs were working with the exeception of AOL Desktop for Mac. That program crashes on launch. It worked fine with Mountain Lion. While I'm sure not very many people still use this program, I was wondering if those that do were having the same problem and have you found any fixes? Thanks

Be happy to. I did contact AOL and this was the response I recieved:
Hi there,
Unfortunately, the feature that you require is not compatible with OS x Mavericks.
If you need assistance with something else, simply reply to this email and describe your situation. We will do our best to help you find the right solution as quickly as possible.
We look forward to continuing to provide you with the best online experience possible. Remember, you can always reach us by emailing [email protected]
Sincerely,
AOL Community
As you can see, it would appear at that AOL has no intentions of updating AOLDTFM. Since the program will open, but immediately crashes and the icon is not covered with an X, my guess, there may be a small tweak that can be done to get it working again. Perhaps there is a viable solution.

AOL Desktop (PC) to AOL Desktop for Mac - Transferring Saved Emails

I just installed AOL Desktop for Mac and I'm trying to transfer my emails. There's no issue setting up the accounts and accessing my emails Saved on AOL, but I cannot access my emails Saved on my PC. The software doesn't have any feature to transfer these locally saved emails from PC to MAC.
The suggested solution is to forward all my saved emails to myself and save them on AOL. Then they'd be accessible on the mac. But I have thousands of emails so this isn't feasible.
Does anyone know how I might go about transfering my saved emails from AOL Desktop to AOL Desktop for Mac?
Thank you

I have aol for mac. I can't figure out the mail or how to retrieve folders or mailboxes

First, I don't know if I have a mac intel or a ppc. I don't know what that means. Anyway, I have had a pc and aol since the dinosaur days. Just the other day I got a mac. I have had iphones since they began and my boys have macs so I thought what the heck. Well, it is so confusing I am pulling my hair out. My husband says icloud is on my phone, ipad and mac. I am having trouble keeping all my photos from automatically moving to my phone. I don't want 1400 photos on my phone, only some of them and can't figure out how to make it do that.
This question though is about the mail. I loaded aol onto the mac. I wanted all my mail to transfer over like it always has when changing pc's. But it did not give that option with the mac, so it just brought over my account but not my mail, saved folders and all. I have folders for bills, shopping, insurance, christmas, many many things. Probably 12-15 of them and when I get email in that I need to keep, I put it in one of those folders and can go back to it at any time. However with the apple, they don't have folders, they are called mailboxes. Now I finally figured out how to make new mailboxes for each subject. However, they do not show up on the left under the mail stuff. You have to go to toolbar once you highlight the email and go to view, then to move to or something like that, then you see the folders. If you click on one, supposedly the email goes in there. However, there is no way to tell for sure because you cannot go to them at all otherwise. And you can't open the folder cuz it is not in bold unless you are putting something in there. Then it goes away. So I don't know if it went in there so I can't delete it and it just keeps piling up. Also, my sent mail doesn't save automatically, nor does anything else. Right now my email has a dash out where it says how many emails you have incoming, but it was never there before and I don't think I got any of my mail today that I got now that I am on the pc so how do I take that off.
Also on the on the mac list it says it has like 80 something there, but it won't let me double click or see what it is, so I don't understand. I just want to get it organized.
Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Hi Janice
Fortunately, AOL keeps a copy of mail and folders on their server, so you can be reassured that the email is there, you just have to find a way to access it.
There are three ways to read AOL mail on your Mac.
- You can open a browser such as Safari, log into http://aol.com, and read mail there (ie "webmail");
- You can install the AOL Desktop software, which is probably what you had on the PC. I don't tend to recommend this, as there's usually no need to install extra software, and I've found it very sluggish on a Mac. However, for people who are very used to it and dont want to change, the option is there;
- You can read AOL email in the Apple Mail application.
If you have added your AOL to Apple Mail, your mailboxes/folders should be available to you under a heading called "AOL" (you may have named your account differently). The mailboxes are on the left side - as mentioned above, you can hide and show the mailbox panel. (There's a "Show" button on the top left to reveal the mailboxes, which changes to "Hide" when you click it. If you already see "Hide", then you're fine.)
The server mailbox heading will be at the bottom of the mailbox panel on the bottom left. If you move your cursor over it, and you see the word "Show" appear, click that word. That will reveal the mailboxes within that server account.
In the example above, my server mail account is called "Google", but the principle is the same. Clicking "Show" will reveal all the mail folders held on the server. The same thing should work for your AOL account.
Hope that helps.

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

Blackberry Desktop for Mac Is Not Complete - Still Have to Use PC Version Sometimes

Blackberry Desktop for Mac is incomplete in this way - if your OS gets wiped out (as it wants to do upon initial install, as it tries to update your BB OS) - and if it gets hung in the process - as happened to me - then the ONLY way to fix is to go BACK to a PC and use the PC version of Blackberry Desktop.
It's incredible, but that is what I learned. I installed Blackberry Desktop for Mac. It wanted to initiate an OS upgrade first thing. I allowed it to do so and it wiped out the OS on my Blackberry. Leaving me with a 507 error. I called Verizon. They switched me to Blackberry. Blackberry said I could only get clear of the 507 error by finding a PC - somewhere - and installing Blackberry Desktop for PC on that PC.
Blackberry then switched me back to Verizon, and they said that since I didn't have a PC, they had to send me a new Blackberry - and they had to charge me for it! (They said that the local Verizon store could not repair the OS).
I refused to pay $50+ for a new phone necessitated by the failure of Blackberry Desktop for Mac to be able to deal with a 507 error. I spoke to Blackberry Support, again (this was about a 6 hour process), and they admitted that the provider - Verizon - did not support some sort of feature in the OS initialization process, meaning that Blackberry Dektop for Mac could not be used, one has to use Blackberry Desktop for PC no matter what in some circumstances (such as a 507 error upon OS upgrade).
Blackberry switched me back to Verizon. This time, Verizon stated that the local Verizon store could upload a new OS. So I shlepped off to the local Verizon store and, another hour later, they installed the new OS.
Once the new OS was installed, Blackberry Desktop for Mac was able to synch and works just fine (much better than PocketMac). However, my fear is that when the next OS update comes out, if the same thing happens again (i.e., if the OS update freezes again), I will be left having to either look for a PC somewhere to run Blackberry Desktop for PC, or go to the Verizon store.
So, word to the wise. Blackberry Desktop for Mac is not complete vis-a-vis Verizon. It cannot be complete if they tell you that you have to use Blackberry Desktop for PC in certain circumstances.

This is often the problem with the new features that Apple implement more and more for each functionalities and moving them to "the cloud" (iCloud).
Thus physically removing the files from the Mac makes the BBDM (logically) unable to sync with no-more existing files on the computer...
This is the case currently for the address book and iCal. I guess that new functionalities in iTunes might have the same effect. Haven't you enabled new features recently in iTunes?
Like "iTunes match" for example?...
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

Firefox desktop for mac does not save history

Using firefox desktop for mac. Recently it stopped saving my history. Forward and back buttons still work, typing something in the address window will make it pull up places I've visited in the past, but only ones I visited two or three weeks ago. Nothing recent. "Show all history" brings up the window, but there is nothing in it."
Private browsing is not enabled. I have enabled "remember my browsing and download history."
Another answer suggested I might have an anti virus or something that is disabling history. I looked, but I don't have anything doing that. Safari and Chrome are both saving their histories normally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
