Bye Bye Email

Hello there. I have a question concerning vanishing email. Today, while in the Mail application, I was deleting and creating new mailboxes in my .mac account. I also deleted and created filter rules. As an example . . . I had a folder named "Auction." I then created a folder named "ebay." I set up a rule to filter all ebay mail to the ebay folder. I did this and ran it on the original "auction" folder. After I did this, all of the email messages vanished.
So, I was poking around in the Library/Mail area of my harddrive. Under my Mac-username there are a bunch of folders which appear to represent my mailboxes in Mail. I have a folder named Auction. Inside this folder is another folder named messages. Inside that appears to be all of the messages that originally vanished. I tried dragging them in to my new ebay.imapmbox. However they still do not show up in Mail.
Any ideas how I can restore those email messages in the Library/Mail/Mac-username/Auction/Messages? I am new to macs, so forgive my confusion and lack of any pertinent details.
Thanks

First, a warning; never drag messages around across these folders as it will damage the integrity of the database that keeps track of where your mails are stored.
Your emails are still somewhere, drag them bag first to the folder they came from (if you can remember the exact location).
Now walk through all the folders and subfolders you have on the left column (expand them by pressing the little triangle left of the folders where applicable)
If you cannot locate them, rebuild your auction and ebay folder (Mailbox menu, bottom option).
If you can locate them, select the messages and drag them to the folder you want.
If indeed they ended up somewhere else, your rule was not set up properly.

Re: BYE-BYE! BEST BUY

I completely understand your issues with this but I in turn just bought a computer from best buy, did not purchase the protection plan, had a broken screen 18 days after it was purchased and no one was willing to help. It had a small gash in the very side of the screen and ONE small crack in the corner. After speaking to the manager they said they would send it off for repair and we have the option of having it fixed or returned "as is" as we were out of the 15 day policy. Reluctantly we had it shipped to see what the cost would be. After waiting a week ,the price to fix the screen was more than half of the price of the computer, so we opted to NOT have it fixed as it was still usable...the touch screen feature was just not available anymore. The computer came back and it looked as though someone had thrown it around, stepped on it and put a piece of cardboard over it to ensure it would not be seen when it was picked up. When I returned home and took the cardboard off I was absolutely mortified to see the state my computer was in. I returned back to best buy to let them know this was NOT the condition they received my computer in...HOW ON EARTH can you return it to me like this. The answers I got from geek squad... the very unknowledgeable, very unfriendly, very not customer service oriented people I dealt with was...sorry... I understand but we can't guarantee what happens in transit. WHATTTTT??? Did you tape a piece of cardboard to the screen and throw it on a truck to be sent out?? Sooo...No I didn't get the protection plan, as obviously a freak accident was not forseen on my part that the screen would crack...but even if you don't have the "plan" you are pretty much out of luck. If "in transit" is not guaranteed...had I gotten the screen fixed...they couldn't guarantee transit on the way back...could I have gotten the computer back broken again after it was fixed due to no guarantee of transit?? REALLY??? I am, by no means, a rich person but it would seem that a little help in this situation could have saved a lot of disgruntled customers. The manager was not friendly. Geek squad was not friendly. And when purchasing such a big item some kind of CUSTOMER SERVICE would have been appreciated. I think a big company, such as this, should back their products and do something to KEEP their customers happy ,but in my opinion they are such a big company, they employ zombies, anyone who is not friendly or helpful, and are people who should not be in the customer service field. All in alll...You can't win with this company. My computer is an "all in one"... if I send it out am I going to get a whole different computer... if I send it out will the screen be fixed and the computer be junk because of "not guaranteeing transit"?? I believe that is a complete cop out...they should have taken better care of "their customer", "their customers item" and returned the item "as is"...as we were told.
I stand behind you in saying BYE BYE BEST BUY...as I will never purchase anything from there again!! And I assure you they have not heard the last from me!!
Best of luck to you!!

Hi toofunnee,
As a previous Geek Squad agent myself, I don’t like to hear of experiences like the one you describe. You should feel confident knowing our agents are taking every precaution possible to ensure your computer arrives back to you in the same condition we received it, so I apologize if this wasn’t the case with your new computer.
When a computer is turned in for service, we should be performing multiple tests to narrow down all issues the computer is having. One of these tests includes a physical examination of your computer so that we may know its condition at the time of check-in to ensure you receive it back from service in the same or better condition in which you turned it in under. As you agreed to send your computer out for an estimate, we should process your computer for shipping to one of our service center locations by packing your computer up with the upmost care before handing it off to UPS for delivery. The same should have occurred with your computer when shipping it back to your local store.
Clearly, something went wrong if your computer arrived in a worse condition than documented, and I’d like to help to see if we have any available options to us from here. Unfortunately, I’m unable to locate your computer’s service record using the email address provided to register on the forum, so I’ve sent you a private message to collect further information from you. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
Thank you for posting,

Installed 10.5.3 update and bye bye

I have never had one issue with my mac ever. I installed Leopard and everything was fine, I got my first OSX update and installed it. As soon as it was done I started having problems just about any program I was in online or offline would run for a bit but slowly, then I would move the mouse or click something and there was the spinning ball of death, and then the program would crash. So then it would pop up the would u like to report box and I would say yes, and typing it would pop up another box but when I would fill out the problem and push send it would say (and I can't remember exactly) but could not send and another 2 or 3 box's would pop up. After about 4 times filling them out and sending and it saying not sent. I just hit ignore or no. Still all my programs dyeing on me I thought maybe I should reboot. So I did and my computer has been gone ever since I only get the apple and spinner but before that the world in a box followed by the finder file ? file. I have taken to the genius bar they did a bunch of stuff, to no outcome, and I bought a 500GB external hard drive and tried to boot off macbook save everything then erase and reinstall and transfer back. done every trick everyone has said to do run every fix program I have been given or have and they all say everything is fine and all my hardware is running perfectly, it just seems to be saying that there is no Osx installed to boot from and wont boot off other mac either. What has happend. And is apple gonna step up and help. Because from what I have read online this has happend to a bunch of people? HELP!

Thanks MacJack, u were close let me clarify. I went to apples genius bar twice we started with the basics like option start to boot no go, he tried a couple other things, like a control option shift delete thing that ran a test I passed. Eventualy he broke out his own personal external HD with every os on it and booted from there sorta it showd his HD and A secondary one (mine) he checked and all my stuff was still there. But he found nothing to fix he commented on how clean my computer and system was, but long line not a lot of time. With his HD disconnected nothing had changed we ran the tech tool pro test which checks every piece of harware in your computer and I passed all. We ran the test at the option start mode that is offered and it offers two test basic and extended we ran extended now this is an apple test and says right under extended if you pass you have no hardware issues and that u should call apple and ask them if they are having any issues with any of your software. Passed. So guy says I think what we should do is just leave it here I'll boot up from my HD back up all your stuff. Then erase and reinstall everything up to the software upgrade, then plug my HD back in and put all your stuff back. But he said 8 days and 150$ so I said I'll sleep ok it. He then gives me a number to a local shop here in town thats been keeping mac users going here for 23 years I think 25 something like that he says they'll do it cheaper same day. So I go there same routine and outcome but he says 65$ but no back up to external HD he says hes going to remove my HD replace with brand new install everything, then sled my old HD boot it off the now new HD and put back, this includes extra labor charges he does not know how much and the cost of whatever new HD I choose. So I say what's the 65$ for minnimum just to touch it. I ask why a new HD when every test says it's fine. He want's to guarantee his work. I decline a few days later thinking about how dumb I am for not have backing up my HD along time ago, I think I need a external HD anyway why not go buy one install mac osx 10.4 & 10.5. And then boot my own computer off my own external HD and back up, erase reinstall and transfer back. Then I have a back up of my own I should have already had. Back at the apple store talk to guy about it he says ya great Idea helps me pick out a HD and I'm off untill I get home and can't figure out how he and the other dude had there install software installed on there external HDs so I call the HD company, they say don't do that. Why? Blahh blahh blahh. What do u suggest. He says do u have another mac with osx on it ? Yes. Connect them together USB, FireWire however u want your computer will boot up from that drive connect your external HD to the other computer and back up all your stuff disconnect everything reconnect your computer erase reinstall plug in HD transfer your Gold. Whooooo hooooo! I'm elated except two days of trying and it will not boot off of anything. (except dudes) HD which HD guy says is bad news danger! And yes I have never had a single problem nor heard of a mac that just stops running, untill now I have found hundreds of people that had the same thing happen no solutions (for the ore intell macs) anyway. Just yesterday I found a blog were a whole High school who all had iMac G4s round base just like mine installed the Leopard update and bye bye for all there network. Apples gotta know if our machines are in great shape as far as hardware then installing a software update that eats your computers brain, is something they should step up and fix. At there cost.

Tried all known fixes, can not authorize, bye bye Itunes store

recently had to reinstall my system files on my Mac, subsequently when I try to play my purchased Itunes I get the dreaded computer not authorized loop bug. Tried all fixes including trashing SC info, preferences and etc. nothing fixes this bug. So bye bye Itunes store, with on every unhappy Itunes/Mac customer.

You could start by upating your Mac OS from 10.4.7 to 10.4.11.
Since you no longer want to fix it, never mind.

Bye bye bt

Yes BT never seem to do ring backs when they say they will. I really wish they would use call centres in Britain.
Your sky deal sounds amazing though.
The sky deals always do sound amazing, what you actually pay is (quite literally) a different story, which is why I left for BT Vision.
The smart people switch provider again when the deal finishes, or negotiate a continuation of the deal with retentions.

Who came up with the ridiculous idea of removing disable images and javasceipt checkboxes in options? Please bring it back or it's bye bye firefox for me.

My browser recently updated to firefox 23 and I was so shocked to see the core functions - disable images and javascript missing. I spent a good while going through every single menu and sub-menu because the idea that firefox could make such a laughable and stupid decision to remove it didn't even occur to me. I've been using firefox for YEARS, and in all the 20+ releases I've lived through, this by far wins the cake of WTF. I use these features on daily basis and I seriously have no idea what made firefox developers think that they won't make users flip the tables by removing such useful basic functionality. So if this isn't fixed in next update, I'm giving up firefox. It sucks to have to part with it after so long, but you're giving users no choice. A browser that is so severely handicapped isn't worth wasting my time on. I'll go back to firefox 22 until I see if this is addressed in near future, else I need to go for google chrome.
Honestly, VERY very disappointing update from firefox.

Agreed with the first poster. I just had to spend more time than I thought necessary trying to deal with this just to simply do something that was always so simple before in FireFox.
Thanks to that complicated QuickJava plugin suggested as an alternative, I clicked its button to see what would happen... and WHOOPS! There goes Javascript. Clicking it back doesn't re-enable it. Thanks. This is just what I needed when I wanted to ONLY DISABLE IMAGES.
Instead of playing around with its settings I decided to just remove it asap and try another avenue instead of screwing up my settings any more being new to the add-on. Removing the plugin left my browser without Javascript... great. That was a fun experiment. I guess that's my "thank you for trying!".
Congratulations, OP, for making it clear how ridiculous this dumb decision was. I'm going to follow your suggestion and actually say "bye bye" to Firefox. I've been using it since the days when it used to be called Firebird. Yeah, long time ago. And this day marks the end. It seems the policy these days is to appeal to newcomers to computers, instead of the actual computer users who made this program popular in the first place. This seems to be the death kiss for any good piece of software that gets too popular.

Bye Bye DSL

After 11 years I just canceled my Verizon DSL service. Cable is significantly faster and I sense the reliability may be much better.
As a parting gesture, I wanted to list the details that led to my decision:
1. The system went down fairly frequently (or slowed, or stalled, etc).
2. Each time, Verizon help (when I could get past the automated voice) assumed it was me.
3. Each time, it was something in the Verizon system, not me.
4. Each time, I was put through the same elementary script given to off-shore service teams.
5. In the past 3 months I experienced Actiontec router difficulties. Verizon replaced the first failed router under warranty. The second router failed and I didn't have the desire to move on to a 3rd.
6. My DSL service was down 48 hours after my service call before anyone got back to me.
7. After 72 hours the problem still persisted and I had a message that the problem was likely with my home wiring. Why now? Fairly new house, DSL consistent for over 8 years…
8. I tested the system outside the house at the junction box. No Internet there either. I do not think the problem was with the inside wiring,.
9. 5 days on, still no response.
10. One week: Bye, bye DSL. When I canceled after 11 years, the agent wasn't phased. Cold as ice.
Some suggestions:
1. Please lose the the auto-voice call attendant. I know it saves you money, but it's extremely infuriating, since invariably my option is not one of those being spewed by the automated voice. A menu with push-button options is far better. (Pressing "0" incessantly helps, but it's still annoying.)
2. Yes, I realize the majority of customers are techno-bumpkins, but some are not, and it's annoying to be patronized by elementary scripts when the basics are known. For example, I know how to power down a modem, yes there are filters on the telephones, etc. Can we skip to the next level up?
3. Stop assuming the problem is always with the customer and their equipment.
4. I do not believe a call center 8,000 miles away really has an accurate picture of the local networks. Better local resources should be made available so that customers can get quicker resolution to their problems. In my case, I strongly suspect there was an incursion to some physical connection between my house and the network at-large. Who knows when that might have been fixed, and meanwhile I was paying for the service. There is no way this problem could have been detected from distant call centers.
5. Also note that some accents are very difficult to understand. On one call (India, I believe), I had to have most things repeated as the technician was talking so fast he was nearly unintelligible.
6. I live in an outlying area. I wonder if the "service" in areas such as these are marginal? If so, it might be better to market them appropriately.

I really feel for you. Verizon could really careless if you leave. I don't think any customer out there has a problem paying for FIOS when it works like they promised. I have had Cox ( which is just as bad) and also Direct TV. Direct TV has the BEST customer support out there. Even when you search on line they are rated higher than any other TV service out there. I changed to FIOS because I wanted the fiber set up.If Verizon would correct their customer service and STOP lieing to their customers to get a sale they would be number one. In this day and time customer service is more important than the product itself. Verizon should give the employees more training on that subject. When you are paying over a hundred dollars a month for a plan you expect great service. When you do have a problem and call in and try to correct it this is where the problem starts. I found out in the long run it is better to file a formal complaint with the BBB because Verizon is a member and they hate it when someone goes in that direction. It should never ever have to go that far.What Verizon should have done was a manager should have contacted you and offered a refund from the time this started or even yet offer a months free service. This is a drop in the bucket compared to what they have lost now due to the " Who cares if you leave or not" Internet, land line phones and Fios TV is a luxury and something that you don't really have to have. If you lost your job right now that would be the first thing that would go. If Verizon would take the time and start looking at it that way things would change for the better for them. Verizon already knows for a fact that for every customer you lose you also lose ten more from word of mouth. Look at Sprint. They kept cutting service and their customer service sucks. They were flying high at one time and now look at them. Hanging on by a thread. All of this was due to customer treatment.

Bye bye Apple

I bought an iPhone 4S on April, 2012. In December, after update the iOS my WiFi stopped to work. In January I went to a Service Center and had my iPhone replaced. Excellent.
But since y'day I'm facing the SAME issue. My WiFi is not working (same behavior of December). I called the support and they asked to me perform 2 taks. I did with no luck. And now I'll have to take it AGAIN to a Service Center, but PAY, since my warranty is experied (since May, 5th, 2013). Question: since I got a new model shouldn't the warranty be extended? The answer was NO.
With that I'm saying bye bye to Apple. You just loose another one. Same bug in an interval of 6 months is unacceptable.

"Question: since I got a new model shouldn't the warranty be extended? The answer was NO."
No. The answer is YES.
"iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. "

Bye bye m$ - Skype

Today I changed my OS to 64bit, and if still Skype owners are so stupid and doesnt want to release 64bit version of Skype, im saying Bye Bye.
PS. I see there is beta version of Web Skype, but its checking OS, and if its Linux than Audio/Video support is switched off. Now we see that is no any limitation of resources, or even saveing money for developers. Its policy to block Skype on Linux systems.
Im saing this again:
Bye bye Skype, Welcome Viber.

Bye Bye Adobe

Very well bye bye , Adobe, it just happened to me as well.
I was trying to install the new Flash Player and you installed McAfee antivirus with it !!!!
And to think that I bought a lot of your Apps, in a country where everybody pirates everything.
Bye Bye Adobe for me. From now on, pirated new versions Photoshop and LR and Premiere. And I am not just any guy: I am (sorry, I was) an Adobe fan , with lots of contributions in this forum.
Not anymore. Bye Bye.

There is no loss of privacy -- it's just the same as running C6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
If you wish to store files on the cloud, you can. Or you can choose not to.
It sounds like you misunderstood the announcement: while there are some new cloud services, all the applications remain on your desktop just like they always have been, and your files remain wherever you want to put them.
As far as I know and I dont work for Adobe. CS6 does not withdraw funds from your credit card every month. Additionally I would hope that Adobe is not storing my credit card information because I purchased a copy of CS6 a year ago.
So in the real world since Adobe has a running tab on your credit card the cloud does effect your privacy even if you dont store your files on the cloud.

Synced my Blackberry and my emails went bye bye

I was syncing some numbers on my new peal when it locked up ( pocket berry) I quit the app and noticed some "temp mail" was trying to come up on my email. I deleted that account and noticed that my other email accounts went away with it. Well that is where my problem is. I lost 3000 emails. Any way to recover them? I already added the accounts back to my apple mail program? Also do I have a way of backing up my future emails to avoid any fututre problems?
Thanks in Advance
Ryan

I don’t fully understand what you say, but if your mail has been deleted and it’s no longer on the server and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
As to how to back up your mail, Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook/.
You can back up these just like you would back up any other data files. The affected applications shouldn’t be running while making the backup. Actually, while you’re at it, you might as well back up your entire home folder...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Peggle go bye bye?

Odd... either iTunes games in the store go away when you own them, or they don't carry Peggle anymore. I mean, yeah I own it, but still what happened I wonder?

Hi

Bye Bye Technet

Well, for those of us who received the 90 day extension, everything runs out this Sunday.
Technet has been great, and I am sad to see my subscription retire.
To everyone who provided feedback attempting to have this decision reversed - thankyou, and I hope Microsoft provide a similar product for tech evangelists going forward in the cloud.
We need a similar product that works exclusively in Azure - that's better than the free trials currently offered. It would definitely drive Azure takeup
Cheers!
Thanks! Josh

BT web hosting closing - bye bye BT

Just got an email saying BT are closing their web hosting service. That's the only reason I kept paying for my btinternet.com email address so might as well get a free email now. Nice one BT - you've lost a customer.

However, there are errors with the information as I said elsewhere.
In addition to the information I provided, (including no date on the webpage you've listed - in fact there are hardly ever any dates, this is wrong as it makes it virtually impossible to know when the information was provided/altered), it was actually part of the initial BTinternet service back in 1995 when it started. BTOpenworld came later.
