Can't access import file in mail

i recently lost my hard drive and after recovering everything from time machine, i can't get at old email in the import folder in mail. it shows almost 3000 messages in it, but the folder is not highlighted and i can't get into it.
any thoughts anyone???
thanks.....jay

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page 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.
Log out and log back in. Launch 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.

  • Numbers app is stuck updating, can't access important files. Any suggestions?

    I transferred all of my NECESSARY & IMPORTANT client files to Numbers from Excel, I've been using it for about 1-1/2 years, after the last update of iOS 7 it started acting up. Then 3-1/2 weeks ago I opened it and while accessing a file it got stuck, some files are white and I can open them. Other files are gray and I can't open them. The page goes white when opening it up instead of just opening, there us a delay the nut opens.
    I have tried various things. 1) Rebooting, 2) hard reboot (holding down the off button and home key until the apple icon appears), 3) tried putting it in Airplane mode-reboot-then connect to computer & iTunes-then rebooted. None of those things worked.
    I use these files for my business & I am self-employed, some files I can't access. I think iOS 7.0.4 stinks it has been nothing but problems for me.

    You need to be on OS X Lion 10.7 to use icloud, and if your Word and Excel are older, like Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, they won't work on Lion, because OS X Lion no longer supports PowerPC code. Snow Leopard, for example, included the Rosetta emulator to run PowerPC code on Intel systems. Rosetta isn't available with Lion.
    You can buy the Apple programs Pages and Numbers, to replace Word and Excel, from the App store for $19.95 each. They will read Word and Excel formats. Or you can buy a more recent version of Microsoft Office, with Office 2011 being the current version. You can also install NeoOffice or OpenOffice which are common-source office software suites, available in free and pay versions (typically newest is pay, one level back is free).

  • Can I access PDF files?

    Can I access PDF files?

    To expand on Johnathan's very precise reply:
    PDFs can be easily read on iOS devices using apps such as iBooks, Goodreader and a myriad of others. You have to open the PDF file in one of these apps. Typically, if you receive a PDF via email, if you tap and hold on the PDF attachment icon in Mail, you will get a dialogue offering you a chance to "Open In..." and if you have PDF reading apps on your iPad, you will see a list. Choose one and the PDF will open in that app.

  • All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

    I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess.   After that,  just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file.   These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel,  etc. 
    Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it.    If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi,
    This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
    I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
    Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

    Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How can we access the file/directory system in the server

    Hi friends,
    I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
    Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
    jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
    in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
    want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
    directories in the server.
    My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
    like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
    in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
    I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.
    manu

    You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • Can I access local files?

    I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer.  My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application.  No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website.  But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer?  Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files.  Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
    Thanks.

    AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
    AIR applications can access local files.
    Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):
