Cant Create Mailboxes.  Please help

When I try to create new mailboxes I get the error "Unable to create path ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/JOhn.mbox."
Does anyone now how to fix this?
Thanks

For some reason, sometimes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes is actually a file instead of a folder, thus causing the problem you're experiencing. Verify/repair your disk first, as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate Mailboxes. If it's a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
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.

    i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

    The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
    Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

    By can't change them do you mean that you don't have a rescue email address set up on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 ?
    If you don't (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • !The folder itunes can't be found or created.. please help!!

    Hi everyone.. I just bought this ipod mini, but i had instled itunes in the past in my laptop(Windows xp)because I bought before and couldn't figure out so I returned this was like 5mo ago.. now I have decided to buy a used one from a friend to give it a go.. but I can't make itunes come up.. it gives me this mesage:
    "!the folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required the defult location for this folder inside the "my music" folder" I looked in my music folder and there is nothing in there from itunes.. what should I do... PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

    the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • HT2534 So i tried doing that, there's no 'none' option. Mine is itouch 4th gen, iOs 6.1.5. I just had it restored. It still asks for my freaking card number and i have none. I cant download anything,.Please help.

    Please help me, I can't download anything from the app store, im being asked of a set of credit card numbers and i have none

    None Payment
    Sounds like yo did not follow the instructions
    Did you create a NEW account using the instructions in Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card using an email address you had not previously used with Apple?
    You have to.
    Maybe that option is not available in your country. It works in the USA

  • Cant resize itunes, please help

    Please help, this has been driving me nuts for days.
    I recently used a full screen application (RPG Maker 2003) which is a 320x240 application, when I came out of it I tried to use coverflow but the coverflow itself is too high up, i cant drag it, I have tried resizing the whole window, uninstalling and changing my screen resolution (I have the highest screen resolution selected so I cant go to a higher resolution and resize it that way)
    Here is a picture of my problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry about the delay, deithe.
    Okay, this is looking like a preference files thing.
    The technique you need to fix that is described in the "Remove iTunes Preference files" section of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
    [iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421]
    Before starting out on that, set the PC up to view hidden files and folders, as per the description at the beginning of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.
    *Some heads-ups before proceeding*
    Be careful of any custom preferences (EQ, imports, etc) you have set up. Take a note of those, because rebuilding the relevant prefs returns all such prefs to their default settings. You may need to set up any such preferences all over again.
    You may also need to reinstall any third-party plugins afterwards.
    Things to expect during the pref file rebuild ... moving one set to the desktop (on XP) causes the setup assistant to run during the rebuild. Avoid saying yes if it asks you to import all the media files on your PC into iTunes. Otherwise, you'll end up duplicating all your content in your iTunes library. Moving the other set of prefs to the desktop (on XP) means that you have to agree to the licence agreement again.

  • HT5312 I cant call u please help me for reset my security qustions and add rescue email please

    Please help ME

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which will normally be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.

  • Cant open Itunes, please help

    can someone please help me. i have an ipod photo. a friend of mine has an ipod video, and he wanted me to put some music on his ipod. i wasnt able to do so unless i updated my itunes software. when i did this, and restarted my cpu i was unable to open itunes. it will say that quicktime was not installed. i tried installing this, and also tried a system restore but nothing is working. i also tried to uninstall everything and reinstall with my disc that came with my ipod, but it wont work either. does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    okay, let's first try another QT 7.1 standalone install, this time taking a few additional explicit precautions.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Audio Track has gone white - cant hear it, please help!

    Hi
    One of my audio tracks has been highlighted white and will not play back. I have soloed the track and it wont play even though i can see the data (wave) in the region. The track is also not muted. Is the data accesible again?
    Please help,
    Thanks

    Is the data accesible again?
    Probably, it is maybe muted (does it have a bullet in it's name?-there are several places to mute). It an also be muted with the light blue "M" button-your description is a little cofusing though.
