Can I/should I use Mail on my MacBookPro or do I just use iCloud mail? My Mail won't even open like it used to...Tool bar shows up top but nothing else on screen!
Hi. I've recently been given a pc tablet to enable me to always be connected to my boss since some of what we do is only pc compatible. He's a big Outlook lover and intended to use Windows through Paralles to have all this on my Mac.
After my Mac died and I had to buy a new one, I'm a little leary of doing so and thus investigated the Mail program again. I am confused about it at this point and would love it if anyone could answer some questions i have.
1. If I have an icloud account which I currently use for my .me mail, can I even use Mail anymore?
2. My Mail program hasn't been the same since i upgraded to Lion - which is when I started my iCloud account.
When I open the program all I see is the toolbar - no actual mail or screen even!
3. Can Mail be set up like Outlook in that I could have all of the email accounts I must manage for work (mostly gmail accounts) feeding into one location?
Sorry if this all sounds silly! I really never had a use for Mail when it worked, other than for my personal emailing so I'm afraid I never really learned enough about it!
Thank you,
Christine
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I have changed to a Mac and am using CS5.1 but cannot locate the Analysis tool which was on CS4 - when I look up Adobe .TV for CS5 the videos show this tool in the main top menu but it is not present on my system? Where can I locate this as I would like to set up a custom scale for measuring some forensic details I am working on

Quicktime loads, shows on taskbar, but nothing displays on screen.
To add more detail to this, I am having problems with Quicktime.
I have a single display system. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit..
I have an 8800GT set to single display mode. I have never run a second monitor on it, and have made 0 recent changes to that configuration.
So when I load Quicktime, I see it showing on the taskbar, Quicktime shows up for a brief moment.. and then completely disappears. I do not have an auto hidden taskbar, it has not been minimized anywhere, it does not minimize to the system tray, etc.
I have also used programs and features to completely remove it, restarted the pc, then reinstalled it only to have the exact same issue. I have also used the quicktime installer to remove it, which also removed the registry entries, and then rebooted and reinstalled, yet I have the same issue!
I have no other issues with my pc at all. I'm a tech, so I know these things, but something is escapting me here..
I have also used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility as well, but that also did not resolve the issue.
Quicktime was originally running just fine, but some people in a game called Secondlife which has streaming videos in it by going through Quicktime were having issues seeing a certain musician stream a video from his location. So I tried reinstalling to see what would happen, and ever since I have been having this problem.
Any guesses? Anyone have the same issue?I am having the exact same problem.
Not only does QuickTime show up on the taskbar, I can select it as the current app. I can use keyboard shortcuts when it is selected (i.e. Ctrl+O for open). But the QT app is never visible on my screen (except for a split second during startup). Interestingly, and dialogs bring up by way of keyboard shortcuts are visible, but the actual QT window is not. -

When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?
Try this from another user:
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping). -
Under TV Shows there used to be favorates, search and so one. for some reason, just "My TV Shows" shows up but nothing else. I can't look up top shows, look at my fav shows, or even search up shows any more. I restored my apple tv factory settings but it was still missing. Pior to doing that I pulled the power cord and reset my networks... and still noting, please help....
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes there are quite a few similar reports at the moment, I haven't experienced the problem, yet others in the UK have, so we're not quite sure what criteria determines whether you are affected by this. I haven't seen any solutions so far, so it may just be a case of waiting to see if it's repaired or whether the rest of us are going to see the same thing. -
My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen: "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc. After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again. I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues. Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears. -
My screen is black and I don't know how to get ride of it! siri pops up but nothing else will!!
I don't know what's wrong with my ipad. My screen is totally black and when I hold the home button siri will pop up but nothing else will!
Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if it'll reboot.

I have a new mail update and it won't even open, and now I can't use the old mail app either.
I have a new mail upgrade and it won't even open. How do I fix this?
You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile? -
I have a new 4g Iphone - Telstra (Australia) disabled my old 3g and enabled the 4g so the 3g is just enabled to show contacts and photos etc.
I want to download my photos and contacts from the 3g. trouble is that my internet is dial up only at home and impossible to use as too slow.
So my itunes is now out of date (not current module 10.5 + etc.) and the 3g phone is also not operating on the latest ios.
BUT the itunes does sync the phone - but it seems to only sync from computer to phone - so my camera roll on the 3g is not on my computer - therein lies the dilemma - I don't know how to download the photos. I cannot update the ios on the 3g and it seems that might be reqired to "back up"
So first question is how do I back up (not sync) my 3g to itunes.
Do I need to updates its ios first and update iteuns first (in which case thats impossible)
So what else could I do.
It seems the other thing is that even if I could back up the 3g the Itunes won't recognise the 4g as the 4g is ios 4 or something and the itunes is not up to date.
SO I thought I should just use camera wizard or a photo package like iphoto or kodak easy share.
But with camera wizard my computer recognises the 3g phone BUT nothing else. It is greyed out for options, and ini Windoes Explorer it shows it as a camera but when you right click it has no "properties" - and no files show up at all...
it is like it seems the camera and then nothing else.
THE CAMERA is not locked.
WHAT shoudl I do?also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use and I should retry.
If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy. -
I can print a test page from my Mac to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 but nothing else will print
Hi - I just recently had a hard drive crash and had to revert to an old Time Machine backup on my new hard drive to get my Mac back. Since getting back up and running I have been unable to get my Officejet Pro 8600 back online. My computer is wired to the wireless router but the printer is running wireless. My computer can see the printer just fine and I can even print a "Print Quality Diagnostic" report from my Mac to the printer from the HP utility. But nothing else will print. The firmware is up to date. I have tried resetting the printing system multiple times, rebooting the machine, etc... Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
If it helps, we were using a different printer the last time the time machine was backed up, so when we used that backup the old printer was showing, but I reset the printing system, so it shouldn't matter.
Thanks for your help!Hello @Ryan221,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your hard drive recently crashed and now you are not longer able to print to your HP Officejet Pro 8600. I see you have reset the printing system with no success. Let's try a different approach:
Scrub/ Uninstall
• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
Repair Disk Permissions
1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
2.Double-click Disk Utility.
3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it. Click on the link below to begin the download and follow the on screen instructions:
HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8
I hope this helps, please let me know the outcome!

I came home and attempted to power on my iPad2. I can see the backlight but nothing on the screen. When I try to reset by pushing the off button and the power button at the same time I can sometimes see the characters briefly but the screen has lines. Can someone tell me if there is anything else I can do before a trip to the repair shop?
WillIf the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Satalite Pro Power lights come on but nothing else ??
Hello All,
A quick question. Have been given a Satalite Pro. The Power lights up but nothing else.
I've tried the HDD in my Portege m200 and its running XP Pro. The Satalite Pro has 1 > 512 ram stick inside.
The overall condition is good and i'm tempted to spend a few shillings to try and bring it back to life or are we talking major surgery.
My knowledge is basic so would have to pass on to get fixed.
Would welcome your thoughts / suggestions.
Thanks
NeilHi
I dont know which Satellite Pro you have exactly but if your Portege M200 uses the same RAM modules, you should try this to exchange them. Sometimes the notebook doesnt start due faulty RAM modules. They are exchanged in few minutes and not expensive.
I doubt that the HDD would be the problem. If the HDD doesnt work, you able to access the BIOS at least.
In worst case its related to other expensive parts like CPU or mainboard. :( -
IChat starts but nothing else happens, no windows just greyed out menus
iChat starts but nothing else happens, no windows just greyed out menus
Dunno what it is, i would live it on all night and the next morning i see beach balls and have to force quit it, then when i start it nothing happens, i just see the menus on top, i am forced to restart the computer just to get it running again.
Any advise appreciated.Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions
iChat does not close when you use the red button to close windows as some other apps do.
This means iChat can be running but not showing any windows (including any Buddy Lists).
If you set up iChat it will have at least one Buddy List.
Open iChat and go to the Window menu
In here you will see any Buddy List that is Logged in.
Selecting that item or using the keystrokes next to it will show you the Buddy List.
In Tiger/iChat 3 Apple Key and 1 would open the AIM Buddy List, Apple + 2 the Bonjour List (If active) and Apple + 3 any Jabber Buddy list.
As Leopard allows you to log several Screen names in to AIM or Jabber the list can be as mixed up as you want (or Created)
The Order can be changed in iChat menu > Preference > Accounts by dragging the list into the order you want.
