  • Can not get mail after upgrading to yosemite

    I upgraded to yosemite and now get a message when i try to open my mail, that my mail is damaged?

    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

    Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

    I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

    I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

  • Can not print print after upgrade to Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion

    Hi all,
    I just upgrade Macbook air to Mountain Lion, but after upgrade it can not print due to "hold for Authentication" error. Mac asking for User name and password, I tried to enter my mac User name and password but can not help.
    I change to other type of printer but still same problem
    I also try to reinstall Mac Mountain Lion from start(not update from Lion) but still face off same problem.
    Is there anybody can help me for this? I was in big trouble for this problem for over the week.
    Thank you so much

    hi . I had the simalar  problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I found this post on HP Discussion Board and it worked!
    1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
    2. Select Restore Defaults.
    3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
    4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
    5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
    6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
    7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
    8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
    The printer will now be connected to your network.  Connect the computer back to the network and re-add the printer from System Preferences.
    Hope this works--- it did for me.

  • Can't import photos after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.8

    After upgrading from Panther to Tiger I can no longer import photos to iPhoto 4 from my camera. I get error messages that say "Unreadable files: 240. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data). When I go to the directory they are located in, I see a bunch of JPG files, but when I try to open them I get a message from Preview saying it may be corrup or a file format Preview doesn't recognize.
    I can view the photos that were in iPhoto prior to the OS upgrade without any problem.

    Hi, hope I've caught this discussion before it's ended.
    Been getting "Unreadable files. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data" ... but then ...
    Was having problems with my hard drive and was about to back up my iPhoto Library when I checked the folder size with 'Apple i' and the 'lock' option was ticked. I definitely didn't option it. I've added images to iPhoto with this option unchecked and they've all gone in fine. Fantastic.
    I too think my problems started after Tiger upgrade back last Autumn, loaded some pics in iPhoto at that time, deleted from camera and went back to iPhoto - none there!
    Try this option, hope it works for someone else.

  • Organize by conversation is not working properly after upgrade to Lion

    After upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 I've figured out that Mail Application is not very accurate with organizing by conversation. Mail from Snow Leopard was pretty nice. But after upgrade it started to make several conversation. This is very annoying especially when I'm working with support tickets.
    Here is one of the example:
    Mail 10.7 ( Lion )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    Mail 10.6 ( Snow Leopard )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    I also tried Mozilla Thunderbird. It is organizing by thread very accurate.
    Is there any way how to configure this in Mail? May be I'm doing something wrong?
    I like all new features of new Mail programm, but it wi very annoying.
    Thanks,
    Shony.

    Hi Sundar & Rakesh
    I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
    ** Scenario Summary **
    The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
    Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
    System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
    Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
    What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
    Work Protect Mode
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/b76f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
    Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
    Kindly update me as per your findings.
    Kind Regards

  • Cannot send mail after upgrading to Lion

    Can anyone help.
    I upgraded to OS X Lion, and since then I cannot send mail from any of my accounts.
    Nothing wrong with them. I can access, receive and send with othe Mail programs, as well as from my iPhone and iPad.
    I have deleted, and reconfigured my accounts, and no luck.

    I am having the exact same problem as Steve Kennedy a few posts back.
    "When I press send I watch the fan for a couple of minutes before seeing the error message that invites me to select another server or try later. The outgoing mail server that shows up as being unusable is MobileMe (MobileMe). When I select smtp.me.com, I can send. Sometimes I can even send a couple of messages before the problem returns.
    I'm using Lion and Mail 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3) on my iMac (mid-2010) and Verizon FIOS. Never had this problem with Snow Leopard or earlier. Don't have it with my MacPro running Snow Leopard on the home wireless network. Don't have it when using MobileMe mail on the Web, but that's a slow alternative."
    I am getting REAL tired of the Lion quirks. <y desktop rearranges itself when it feels like it. Nothing consistent or repeatable. The folders just all appear on the right side and disregard how I have them organized on the desktop. I have set all of the recommended settings to no avail. A mind of it's own.
    Help us Apple. Mail is almost unusable.

  • Problems with Mail after Upgrading to Lion

    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion (which is the most updated OS my Mac can run)
    Now Mail doesn't recognise my me.com password and I can't send or receive emails from my me.com account on the upgraded Mac - although the iCloud account emails work just fine.
    On my other devices (iPad and a non-upgraded Mac running Snow Leopard) can send and receive from the me.com account just fine
    Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated

    It would always be easier to fix the Mail problems.

  • Thumbnails can not be viewed after upgrade & update to 08 (7.1)

    after upgrading to 08 and updating software and opening it I can not see any of the thumbnails in events or in photos folder. Seems only two people have posted Qs similar to mine. I tried toad's suggestion of opening package content but no data folder was there yet the thumbnails tell me how many pics and size in each event.
    has anyone heard from Apple on this issue?

    bjtoft
    Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose all the options.

  • I5 can not connect wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2

    i5 can not connect to my laptop share-wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2, while it's ok before upgrade. How can I solve it?

    FIXED!!!!
    I have iPhone 4s running 6.1.2 Everything worked great before the lovely update. My wifi did the same thing that everyone else's seems to be doing. It would not recognize my home router.
    Evidently, in the update, Apple changed how the "Ask to Join Networks" button operates. Previously, I didn't have to have the button toggled to on, my phone would just automatically lock onto my router. I have fought and fought with this update. I have done several "network settings resets". I have even restored my phone twice. I have tried every crackpot, and not so crackpot, suggestion on these forums and NOTHING has worked. I could go to settings and connect to the router each time I used the phone, but it would only stay connected for a few minutes.
    Today, I toggled the "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on", then opened Safari. My phone then asked if I wanted to join the network, I responded with "join". My phone has been on wifi all day! I left home and came back several hours later, and FINALLY... my phone locks on automatically.
    Go to settings>, Wi-Fi>, toggle "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on". Then click on your router/network in the list.
    I realize that everyone's problems are not the exact problems I had, but maybe this will help some of you having problems.
    Good Luck!

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro 13 in 2011 not turn off after upgrading to Lion?

    I upgraded to Lion when it came out, but I tried to run a PowerPC only game and the entire system crashed. I was then prompted to reinstall lion, so I did so, but after reinstalling it, it doesn't completely turn off. I click powerdown and it goes to a gray screen where it looks as though it's loading something, but will just stay on this gray screen until the battery dies out. There is no responsed to clicking with the track pad, nor to keys. Any ideas?

    Boot to the Lion Restore disk (hold down option key when rebooting) select Disk Utility and then Repair Disk.
