Bring files to new Mac - bad email address?

Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I just got a new MacBook Pro, which I want to bring the music from my G5 over to.
Now that seems to have worked ok, but now some songs require me to sign in, and thats ok, but it's asking for a password that goes with an old email address, which I no longer use, or have, so I don't remember the password, nor can I go online and fix pretty much for the same reasons.
If I go online and try to fix it, it wants to send an email to the old email adress, which I don't get email from?
What do I do?
Skip

Karl,
Is your 'old' email address a dotMac address? My AppleID is tied to a dotMac email address for which the account has not been renewed, but my iTunes tracks still require that email address and password.
If it's true that you don't recall the password you used for that iTunes Store based AppleID then I would take Timmy's suggestion and write to the iTunes Store support team.
I have found them most helpful on every occasion I have needed their assistance.

MSEXchange not rejecting bad email addresses

I have written a specialized email application In ACCES 2010 for my department. At first I couldn't send email outside our domain so the server folks turned on relay and gave me a static IP address. However, now the mail server does not reject bad email
addresses unless I leave off everything to the right of the @ sign. Example my real address is
[email protected]. But if I change something in the address, such as
[email protected] I don't get an error message back from the mail server, error handling is ignored and it counts as being sent. This is true for emails going both inside and outside the domain.
It seems to me that something needs to be configured on the host, or I need to do something in my ap. (I'm no expert here.) The Send part of the code is an ACCESS 2010 function. (Mail server is MSExchange 2010.) If nothing is wrong it works great.

Hi,
Generally, when you send an email to an address that doesn't exist via OWA or Outlook, you will receive a NDR explaining that delivery has failed.
Please disable the app temporarily and check the result. If the issue disappears, there is something wrong with the app code. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Office for Developers. I recommend you ask your question on our
Microsoft Office for Developers forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. For your convenience:

ITunes store wil not acept my new Mobile Me Email address

Hi.
I have recently taken up a Mobile Me account.
My current Apple ID is [email protected]
My Old email address was [email protected]
I now have a new Mobile Me email address which I want to use with my iTunes account as I want to keep all my purchased music.
If I cancel my current iTunes store account, will I loose my paid for music and will it be useable with my mobileme account?
Glenn

Hi
This does not work.
I originally had to have Apple disable my original account, which has caused multiple problems:
1. Unable to play Purchased content with my new .me account.
2. Unable to update apps on my iphone using my .me account.
Apple support say that they cannot merge the accounts which leave me with a problem.
1. Unable to play Purchased content with my new .me account unless I repurchase the content.
2. Unable to update apps on my iphone using my .me account unless I repurchase the content.
All I wanted to do was change my email address, but in doing so I had to change my Apple ID and this is where the problem lies. Can ANYONE please help me?

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored. Otherwise, try reblooting.

How to distingush delivery failure notices & bad email addresses

Hello, All:
Is there a standard for the format(content, subject, headers, etc) of delivery failure notices?
What would you do if you want to get the bad email address (Undelivery address) from the delivery failure notice? Is there a systematic way to get the bad email address instead of earching for the address string in the email?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, the exception SendFailedException only happens when any of the recipient addresses is detected to be invalid by the "Transport" during message submission. It is not exactly the same as the user email does not exists.
I have tried the SendFailedException and functions you suggested. The transport does not give this exception even though the recipent's address is not valid :(..
I think the JavaMail code passes the email message to the SMTP server, the SMTP deals with the actually sending. Therefore, JavaMail code can not get its hand on the invalid email addresses.
Thanks!

How do I edit my iCloud User Name/Email Address to match my new Apple ID/Email Address?

How do I edit my iCloud User Name/Email Address to match my new Apple ID/Email Address?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contactAppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Not being notified of bad email addresses or non delivery

I recently changed my email to a mac account from a outlook address. I sent out a number of bulk notifications with 30+ addresses. I suspect that some of the email addressed are not good but I have not been notified of any failures due to bad addresses. As a test I sent an email with only 3 addresses, all bad, and all were returned.
As such, I don't know if there a problem with bulk email not been sent or with return notifications.
Please hep. Thanks

Where are contacts in my Personal Addresses file and why do my email addresses differ than the ones I reinstalled in my Personal Address file?

I lost my Personal Address file in Cyber Space and all of my contacts. I reinstalled my contact information into a new Personal Address file and want to make sure I save a copy of the file in case the file gets lost again.
Also, when I created a new email and typed in the first few letters of the address contact, it automatically opened up the persons contact but in a form that is different than what I entered into my personal address book and is not able to be sent. It showed the email address as, <" m*****"@hotmail.com> . There is the symbol " in front of their email name and in front of the @ symbol in the email address, which is not what I installed in my personal address book. I had these kind of emails in the Collected Addresses file which I'm guessing caused my problem to start with. I do not need to have a Collected Address file. Somehow I must have hit the wrong keyboard key and created this problem. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird in fear of loosing all of my contacts again. I spent two days reinstalling my contacts in the Personal Address file and even then information is missing. So now I have to contact everyone and request phone numbers and home addresses and install all of them again.
As a final note, I deleted all of the addresses in the Collected Addresses file. Can you tell me where they may be saved at so I can make sure they are gone and not interfering with my new Address Book and function of my email account?

The Personal Address Book is stored in your local disk drive; "cyber space" doesn't come into it.
Was it just the Address Book that was lost? Did your email account settings remain intact? Or did you lose the entire profile?
All of your data is stored in a set of files known as the profile. It's unusual for just one element of it to go missing. Any query about saving or protecting data will generally be answered by guiding you to backup your entire profile.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Files_and_folders_in_the_profile_-_Thunderbird
It's possible to single out address book files for independent backup, but you'll need to surgically dissect them from your profile and know where to insert them in order to restore them.
PAB → abook.mab
CA → history.mab
user defined address books → abook-''n''.mab where ''n'' is a number
A safer option for a partial backup might be to export the relevant address books.
In the Address Book, select an address book, then go to '''Tools|Export''', enter where you want the exported addresses to go. Repeat for each address book you want to preserve.
Thunderbird likes the LDIF file format which exports and imports cleanly. The main alternative, CSV, is good for transporting data to or from other address books, but you'll have to take care to get the imported data to feed into the correct data fields. For instance, many users find that their email addresses are posted into the Nickname field. Have you checked your address books to confirm that all the data are where they should be?
The Collected Addresses book, IMHO is like the lint filter in a tumble dryer. Best way to use it is to keep it empty; periodically examine it, move useful addresses to a proper address book and dispose of the cruft you don't need. If you let it grow, you'll have trouble finding the really useful addresses in amongst all the chaff.
There is an add-on that might recover a deleted address book, but I can't recall which one it is. Hopefully someone else will chip in?
sfhowes? ;-)

Moving iphoto5 files to new Mac with iPhoto 6

Just bought a new G5 which came with iPhoto 6, had backed up my files from my old G5 which were in iPhoto 5 on an external drive. Having a very hard time getting new mac to load up the photos. I replaced the iPhoto file on the new MAc with the old file - still comes up ss no photo's. I can open the files and see them, but new machine/iPhoto is not recognizing them. Would also like to bring over the folders and slideshows as well. Please help???

Here's one more possibility before you start the tedious process of one by one:
Use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild your V5 library. It creates a new library by copying the image files and necessary data from the old one. Then you can try to have iPhoto 6 open the rebuild model and see it it will recognize the image files. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.

New iPad, no email address, iCloud?

Just bought an iPad for my octogenarian mother for Christmas. She hates computers and does not have an email address, and I am trying to picture Xmas day and setting up her device. Apple insists that she have an email address to use the device, but I don't see how to create one for her using only apple services. Seriously do I have to set up a gmail or yahoo email account to use an apple service?? Is it just me or does that strike anybody as insane that I have to use a competitors service to make an apple product function straight put of the box?
Have spent about two hours crawling the forums and apple FAQs tonight and am more confused than ever. I want a clean simple experience that morning, and I am not seeing that happening.
Tried to setup a .me account tonight for her,but the site does not offer that as an option.
Have used macs for decades. Have two in house now, 3 iPhones an iPad, apple tv and Airport express network. Not an apple newb. Not stupid. Very frustrated at how poorly apple has implemented iCloud and the PC free iOS experience.

Thanks for responding. When I set up a new iCloud account and an apple Id for her, it will demand an email address. She doesn't have one. It looks like I will have to create one using gmail in order to use an apple product. .me is unavailable to set up a new account. .mac takes you back to apple web site.
Apple has created a situation where you have to have an email to use their hardware, but they assume you already have one. Not one place in their documentation do they provide a mechanism to create one.
Some have suggested that you can create a .me account during the initial set up. I cannot confirm this from apples own FAQ or other support documents pertaining to iCloud.
I am ready to give up and create a gmail address for her, then use that to create her apple Id. My point is this is an absurd situation that apple has created. Customers Forced to use competitors services in order to set up apple hardware.

How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

Hello,
I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
Thanks very much

Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

New PC, old email address - I cannot authorise my Adobe ID

I have a new PC. I have transfered over my old email address (as you do). I want to authorise Adobe Digital Edition so I can load ebooks onto my eReader. Adobe will not let me Authorise my new PC as: "You can only authorise this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorise any other computer of mobile device." To me this appears to be a fatal floor - people update there machines and, at the same time, retain email addresses.

That is very likely an example of ADE getting its registration screwed up.
It is very happy to do this, and then often gives incomprehensible or incorrect error messages as a result.
Try completely removing authorization: ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D on Mac)
Restart ADE.
Try again to authorize with your ID.
