Bridge disappeared from iMac Without a Trace

One day it was there and functioning fine and next time I turned on computer, the docked icon for Bridge showed a question mark when I clicked on it. Anyone heard of anything like this? iMac is encrypted so this was not an outside job.

iMac is encrypted so this was not an outside job.
Well, that should narrow it down to an inside job then
There are many ways to mess up the dock, having a question mark in it usually means the original install is not present anymore. But some other mysterious reason can cause this also.
Quickest way to find if Bridge still is functioning is to open PS and click on the Bridge icon to open it. If it opens normally the icon may be repaired or a new one appears. Drag this one to the place you want it and it should stay permanent in the dock.
Also check the icon with right mouse click menu/options/show in finder to see if Bridge is still installed in the default application folder.

Address Book Application has disappeared from iMac

my son has an iMac with OSX 10.4 (Tiger). the Address Book application has literally disappeared from his computer. i suspect that i need to re-install Address Book, but cannot find where/how to do that anywhere on apple.com. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Both the Tiger and Leopard Installer discs include an Optional Installs installer. Launch this installer (found in the Optional Installs folder on the Leopard disc) and at the root level in the Tiger Installer disc. Launch the installer and click the continue buttons until you reach the Custom Install screen. Click the triangle next to Applications, tick the box next to Address Book, and click the Install button to install Address Book.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from Dell pc via home share method. All goes well but directions say to click the import button. I don't see an import button anywhere. If I close itunes on pc it also disappears from imac.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from dell pc using home share method. All goes well until the end when directions say to click import button. I don't see one anywhere. If I shut down itunes in the pc the library also disappears from the imac. Am I doing something wrong?

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.

Can i fax direct from iMac without buying a fax machine?

how do I fax from my imac without having to buy a separate fax machine

To send a fax, you need to have a fax modem (not found in any modern Mac or PC anymore) or to use an internet fax service like this.

Or if you have a multy function printer/scanner/fax machine, you can scan a document and fax it.
Or you can buy a USB modem.

First and last: Don't!
Always install from the original media (DVD or download from scratch.
Migration or "transferring" will bring you nothing but grief.

How can I delete previous owners ID from iMac without original media?

Hi there,
Hope someone can help me as I'm relatively clueless!
We have purchased a 2nd hand iMac from Amazon and have been trying to download from the Mac App Store, we both have Apple IDs but when we are trying to download/purchase an app that was previously downloaded by the last owner it is only giving us the option to Accept and not purchase, after signing in it then gives us the error message that it has already been downloaded to the previous ID and if we want to download it we need to re-purchase it, which is fine.
So my question is how do we do this? we did not get any original media in the box so cannot factory reset and redownload.
Fingers crossed someone has the answer as I'm itching to get on and use the machine!!
Thank you in advance,
Vicky.

Hi Vicky ...
Since this is a 2nd hand iMac, you can reformat the drive by using Lion Recovery
That will delete all the personal data from the previous owner so you can start fresh from factory settings.
we did not get any original media in the box so cannot factory reset and redownload.
New Macs do not come with optical media.

Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

Mail.app multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace

Mail.app with multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace
iCould account
gmail account
exchange account
In all accounts, the Inbox contents totally disappeared, gone without a trace. Inbox shows 0MB used for each account. The trash had stuff in it but it didn't have the inbox items. Get Account Info shows all the other folders have items but nothing the side of the inbox. What was werid was my mac was running slow even with an SSD things were crawling. I noticed mail Activity window was processing but thought it standard processing, updating inbox etc.

Well thank goodness for time machine. I was in mail app and clicked on time machine I was able to recover 2 inboxes, one with ~3400 and other with ~1800 messages. However, time machine is now stuck for over 12 hours on 30,682 messages. I was able to go back to a few days ago, it loaded all the messages. I was then able to select all of them (I pressed cmd-a) and in a few hours it was then able to process the select all and show me the restore button much like the other two small mail boxes. But its been stuck at the "Click Restore to recover the 30682 selected messages" screen. The 12+ hours its been busy hammering away at the disk and CPU. From what I can see, it may just be trying to process it all. The previous two smaller restores worked so I'm hoping this one works too.

TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

TS3161 iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source. Did iWeb come with your computer? If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it. Like one of these:
Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.

Deleted Files disappeared from external drive but space is still occupied ( iMac )

Hello all...
I have this problem.
Whenever I delete items from my external hard drive, using iMac (running mavericks), the files disappear from the drive window but their space will be still occupied. if i format the drive using my mac, everything will disappear & the whole drive capacity would be available for use.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Luk

Unless you empty the trash while the external is attached, the files will remain in the trash. You will gain back your space after you empty it.

Internal HD disappeared from my iMac Desktop, & System Profiler

I use an iMac from 2011 running Mac O.S. X Version 10.6.8. It contains an internal SSD (the boot drive), and an internal 2TB hard drive called HD2.
The iMac underwent a diagnostic check at the Genius Bar last week, and everything checked out okay.
HD2 has disappeared from my desktop. Restarting the iMac has not brought it back.
The HD2 used to show up under Serial-ATA: Intel 6 Series Chipset in System Profiler, but no longer does.
Disc Utility no longer shows HD2.
Time Machine has been backing up both the SSD and HD2 on 6TB of external storage. But I do not see HD2, no matter how far back I go into Time Machine.
Spotlight searches do not turn up stuff that is on HD2.
I get a "The disk was not ejected properly" message when properly ejecting external drives.
Any idea what is going on?

If OS X iwas installed on HD2, you can start from an install dvd & use 'Restore From Time Machine Backup' with the external as the target. For data files, I'd use TM's interface if possible : try Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions 17. How can I see my backups, or the Backups for a different Mac?
since it seemingly doesn't show as expected.

Hard Drives do sometimes just stop. no warnings.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?
