Big TM backups of Mail folder and subfolders

Hi all:
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere. I have been having a recurrent problem with my TM backups (to a Time Capsule): The backups are pretty big (3-4GB), even though nothing of that size has really been changed on the disk. Using BackupLoupe, I figured out that the culprit is the (Apple) Mail folder: all of the 3-4GBs are there, distributed among my IMAP mailboxes and some mailboxes I store locally. That makes no sense, since even if some messages had been moved, erased, etc., TM should only backup the single messages (which Mail stores separately), and not the whole mailbox.
Somewhere (I don't remember where) I read a suggestion to create a new "Mail" folder, moving the contents of the old one there and then deleting the old one, as the reason for the big backup has something to do with the folder itself being corrupted in some way. Well, that works, but only temporarily: if I do it, the backup goes back to a reasonable size for a while, but then -sometimes after a few hours, sometimes after a few days- it gets back to 3-4GBs, always for the same reason. If I don't do anything, the big backups persist indefinitely.
Resetting TM, as suggested elsewhere in this forum as a general solution to TM issues, does not help as well.
Excluding the whole "Mail" folder would obviously be a solution, but it seems to be excessive (it may be O.K. for the IMAP folders, but I am concerned with the locally stored mailboxes that would not be backed up).
Does anyone have any insight on how to deal with this? Any help will be appreciated: it is a serious nuisance to have my MBP using Wi-Fi bandwidth to back up almost constantly.

That's quite strange.
It's a bit of a long shot, but a couple of people with roughly similar problems fixed them by downloading and installing the 10.6.5 "combo" update. That's the cleverly-named combination of all the updates to Snow Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324 Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

How to count files in a folder and subfolders of the folder.

Hello everyone,
I'm having a difficulty with countin files in a Regular folder and subfolders of the folder. I've tried to use SI_ANCESTOR in a query; however, it gives me innacurate results.
I used this hierarchy to create the code below, and it works to count all the files:
Folder A ---> Folder B( subFolder of A) -
> Folder C(subFolder of B)
//get folder A
IInfoObjects regFolders = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND='Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=0 AND SI_NAME!='User Folders' Order by SI_NAME");
IFolder regFolder = (IFolder) regFolders.get(0);
//get files from Folder A
IInfoObjects rFiles = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID !   = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder'   AND SI_PARENTID=" + regFolder.getID() );
ilesCount += rFiles.size();
int subCntr=0;
nt subCntr2=0;
//get folder B
IInfoObjects rSubFolders = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=" + regFolder.getID() );
//get files from subFolders of Folder A
while (subCntr < rSubFolders.size())
          IInfoObject subFolder=(IInfoObject)rSubFolders.get(subCntr);
          IInfoObjects subFiles = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS "
      + " WHERE SI_PROGID != 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder'" AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder.getID() );
         filesCount += subFiles.size();
         //get subFolders of Folder B
         IInfoObjects rSubFolders2 = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder.getID() );
                     //get files from subFolders of Folder B
     while (subCntr2 < rSubFolders2.size())
          IInfoObject subFolder2=(IInfoObject)rSubFolders2.get(subCntr2);
          IInfoObjects subFiles2 = infoStore.query ("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS "
               + " WHERE SI_PROGID != 'CrystalEnterprise.Folder' AND SI_PARENTID=" + subFolder2.getID() );
                                           filesCount += subFiles2.size();
           subCntr2++;
          subCntr++;
As you can see, the code is too complicated, and what if folder C has subFolder?
I'm guessin maybe recursion would be one way to got, but I'm not really good with it, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to go about doing it.
Thank you,

Hi,
For detailed information, please refer to the BI 4.0 developers guide here.
You can find the section "Setting up the development environment" in developers guide that have every single instruction to execute a java code specific to BI 4.0 environment.
Also, here are the instructions for BO 3.1 environment:
To configure a WAR file for a J2EE application that uses the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and 3.1 Java SDK, complete these steps:
Create a lib folder in the WAR file's WEB-INF folder.
Copy the Enterprise XI 3.0 or 3.1 Java SDK JAR files from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's WEB-INF\lib folder:
Windows:
...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib
UNIX:
<businessobjects_root>/java/lib
Copy the log4j.jar file from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's WEB-INF\lib folder:
Windows:
...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib\external
UNIX:
<businessobjects_root>/java/lib/external
Copy the entire crystalreportviewers12 folder from the appropriate location below to the WAR file's root folder.
Windows:
...\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0
UNIX:
<businessobjects_root>/enterprise12/JavaSDK
Open the web.xml file located in the WAR file's WEB-INF folder.
Specify the location of the utility files used by the report viewers contained in the crystalreportviewers12 folder by inserting the following code below the <display-name> and <description> tags but within the <webapp> tag definition:
<context-param>
<param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
<param-value>/BOXIR3/crystalreportviewers12</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CrystalReportViewerHandler</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Deploy the WAR file to the J2EE application server.
You are now able to run an application using the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 and 3.1 Java SDK on a J2EE web application server.
Hope it helps.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either.

When I reply to an email, instead of sending it to the recipient, it sends it back to me. I've checked the sent mail folder and the reply is not there either. Replying used to work fine, but all of my replies are sent to my inbox, instead of going to the recipient. I've made sure that the recipient's email address is in the send to box.

Read please this posted by Tanzim
Cause of the issue
Gmail webmail accounts do not have separate sent items and inbox folders. The Gmail account web page contains a Sent Mail link on the left side, but this is not a separate folder from the inbox. Gmail webmail messages are grouped into conversations, resulting in all sent messages and replies from others appearing as a single email message entry in the inbox. This allows for easy reading and viewing on the Gmail web page, but, when integrated with the BlackBerry Internet Service account, results in copies of sent email messages arriving on the BlackBerry smartphone as new email messages.
Resolution
To prevent sent messages from returning to the BlackBerry smartphone each time, create a filter in the BlackBerry Internet Service account to block the sending of those messages to the BlackBerry smartphone.
To create a filter, perform the following:
Log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account. For instructions on how to log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service account, see KB03781.
Click the Filters icon next to the integrated Gmail account.
Click Add a Filter to create a new filter.
Configure the filter so that email messages are not sent to the BlackBerry smartphone if the email message originates from the Gmail webmail account integration:
Type a name for the filter into the Filter Name field. For example, My sent Gmail email messages.
Set the Apply filter when field to "FROM" field.
Type the Gmail webmail address into the Contains field. For example, <user name>@gmail.com>.
Select the radio button beside Do not forward messages to device.
Click Add Filter.
Note: After creating this filter, email messages will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone if sent from the Gmail webmail account.

Mail folders And subfolders

AFAIK, you can't collapse email folders in the iPhone's Mail app.

I want to transfer my photos from the PC (windows explorer) to my Ipad. The problem is that a keep my photos in different categories and they are in one large folder and several subfolders (2 or 3 levels of subfolders).When I sent it to the Ipad, it just respect the first level of folder. After the first subfolder, all the photos are mixed. Any idea how to keep my original organization just transferring from PC to the Ipad (folder having a subfolder also having another subfolder)?
Thanks
Diogo

The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Concern with "File Sharing: On" -- my root user folder (and subfolders) and Macintosh HD is visible

Hi all,
When I set up a File Sharing folder in OSX called "Share", I connected from my PC to my Macbook Pro and not only did I see the "Share" folder but I also could see and have total access to my root user folder (all its subfolders too) and my Macintosh HD (hard disk). Did I miss something? All I did was check mark "File Sharing" in the Sharing option of System Preferences. Then I specifically shared only the "Share" folder that I created on the OSX desktop.
How do I turn of sharing for the root user folder and my Macintosh HD folder?
Many thanks in advance!

Yes, I was logging in from my PC laptop to Mac as the Admin. However, since there is a User called "Everyone" and I, for testing purposes only, turned Read/Write on for "Everyone", I figured I did not have to set up another user (such as "Guest"). I was wrong. Once I created a new user called "Guest" and specifically checked the Guest account in the SMB option, it worked in the restricted mode I was hoping for. Thanks!

HELP!: Question on importing images into from nested folder and subfolders

Hi,
I have a bunch of files on a backup drive and I was wondering if it will be possible to have iPhoto 08 import all the files from the top level folder on down without having to hilite all individual files in each folder and then choose IMPORT??
What is the best way to do this?

Apple indicates that it users the sRGB profile for it's printing. Some cameras have a profile very close to the sRGB, my Canon for one. However, some use the Adobe profile which is a much broader profile and produces darker prints on my setup (which is geared for sRGB).
I've calibrated my monitor to the sRGB profile and set my editor of choice, Photoshop CS3, to manage the color and use the same sRGB profile. It's just way of getting closer to WYSIWYG when it comes to prints, books, etc. I emailed Apple about material quality on books and how to prepare photos and this is what I received back:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
See Dusky's posts in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3751865&#3751865.
More printing info here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1898113#1898113
Another user posted fairly recently some newer info on book quality, etc. but I can';t find my reference to it. You might do a search in the iPhoto 8 forum for book quality or similar to see if you can find it.

Local mail folder and randomly 0KB sized attachments

Hi,
I recently copied emails from my imap account to a local mail folder in apple mail. Now I see mails which have 0KB sized attachments. The attachment is still named correctly but has 0kB, so I cant open it. It happens not to all Mails and in some mails some attachments are working (bigger 0kB) and other files are 0kb.
Is there a reason behind this? What happens there?
I couldn't find something on google, thats why I ask here.
Thanks in advance!

Important update regarding Apple Mail and Yahoo! in particular (this does not apply to the Sent items/lost outgoing message problem): Apple Mail is not at fault! I lost several messages when I moved them from my Inbox and Sent folders to another custom folder, and I thought Apple Mail was at fault, but according yo Yahoo!, it seems that my problem was actually caused by a sync issue between another mobile device (an Android phone) and Yahoo! mail.
Here is part of Yahoo!'s e-mail regarding this issue:
We recently experienced an issue syncing emails for some of our users when accessing email from an IMAP device like an iPhone or an Android phone. Emails that you might have moved from your inbox to folders (including the trash folder) may have been temporarily unavailable. We fixed this issue, and recovered emails that may not have been synced to the right folder. [...] We have automatically added a folder called "Synced Messages" to your email account today located in the left navigation of your inbox.
I wonder if my occasional Sent folder issue is also a Yahoo! problem, not Apple Mail?
Going back to the corporate IMAP (i.e. non-Yahoo!) issue mentioned by Mitchell Group, what kind of e-mail server are you using? I have never experienced IMAP issues with my corporate e-mail server (Zimbra Collaborartion Suite on Linux) using Apple Mail (IMAP) as a client. My only headache, to this day, has been with Yahoo!

Comparing count and combined file sizes of specific file types in target folder and subfolders

Hi all,
I have a script that I use to delete files with a certain file extension in a folder and its subfolders. I would like to enhance to the script by counting the total number of files and their combined size in MB that the script is deleting and use this information
in a popup where a message will say something like "X No. Files deleted totalling YMB
The existing script so far is:
get-childitem -include *.****.rfa -recurse | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname}
Can any advise what I need to add as I'm quite new to powershell.
Thanks

So you do not know how to write a simple output statement. I think you need to start here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
Not specifically within Powershell no, like I said I only started looking at it this week as an alternative to VBS.
Nothing is being declared. You need to learn the basics of PowerShell. We cannot teach you one line at a time.
Really? So the author of
this website is talking rubbish is he? ("Once data is assigned to a PowerShell variable, it’s automatically declared.")
I never asked for line-by-line hand holding nor am I someone who wants others to write the entire code for me. Examples of previous scripts that perform similar or partial operations would have been a good way to guide a new user unfamiliar to this topic.
Additionally posting modified(incorrect) and unfinished script examples without clearly stating what your code is doing nor that additional lines of code need to be added before the script will operate as outlined in the original post is confusing to someone
with 0 experience in this area.
On forums I frequent that are relevant to subjects which I have good experience with, whenever I respond to a genuine query of that has an example of what they are trying to create/modify, I will happily provide a full example and/or explain what I
have done so the OP understands exactly what I did to achieve their request in my example. For someone with your points tally (and likely a respected poster amongst your peers on this site) responding with what is essentially "RFTM Noob" I trust you can understand
is somewhat disappointing.

I tried to use the recursive call but i could not do it without any errors.
So it would be helpful to me if you post the exact coding or the key part of the recursive call here.You'd get better response when you post your code and the error message(s). I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

Robohelp 8 not working, folder and subfolders deleted

Hi,
I am using Robohelp 8. I had worked on some files on Thrusday, generated a .chm output, and saved the source and output files onto our company server. My problem is that when I try to open both the files, the one on my computer and the company server, I get a message saying a particular folder and all the sub-folders within it,are missing from the Project Manager. And I that I should delete them. However, while trying to open Robohelp 8, I get a message saying Adobe Robohelp has stopped working. I also get a message saying a problem has caused the system to close. Windows will notify if a solution is available.
As far as I know I have not worked on Robohelp since Thursday, 28 Oct. I have not deleted any files (even the one that Robohelp now inidcates are missing).
Any help or advice about what could have gone wrong, will be really appreciated.
Thanks,

Download a Folder and subfolders?

Is there a simple way for an AIR app to download an entire
folder and it's contents from a web sever and copy it to the local
file system?
There are lots of articles on downloading files, and ways to
detect the contents of folders but nothing I can find on entire
folders.

Hi,
There's no simple way. You'd need some way to figure out the
contents of a folder on the web server (if you don't have an
index.html, some web servers by default serve a html page listing
all the contents) and download each one and also recurse when you
encounter another folder.

Will Tiger Mail Folder and Mail Plists Work Within Leopard?

Hi Gang
With help from the crew here, I know exactly how to restore Mail Folders, Safari Folders, .plist files etc. And although I'll probably do a fresh install of Tiger 10.4.11, I wonder if I can use my saved mail folders, and other data for an install of Leopard? Are the folders/data compatible with each other, Tiger data into Leopard?
Thanx
Mike

OS X upgrades are always designed to be backwards compatible with user preference files. that means that generally, leopard Mail will understand Tiger mail data and plists (but not vice versa). that's of course assuming that there is no mail data or plist corruption and such.
