Changing to IMAP account now cant spotlight

I have moved my mail account from being POP to IMAP.
I have copied all mail from the old POP folders to the new IMAP ones.
I cannot search the new folders.
The folders are not disabled in Spotlight preferences.
/etc/hostconfig spotlight = YES
has anyone any pointers or help please
Tony

What type of searches are we talking about here? Which options do you have selected in the banner that appears between the toolbar and the message list when searching?
Does searching for those messages in Spotlight itself (not in Mail) work?
What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing settings? Spotlight needs a local copy of the messages in order to be able to index them...

Have changed apple id and now cant turn on ICLOUD

I recently broke my screen on my 4s. my daughter had recently updated here 4s to a 5s so I decided to backup my phone and restore onto the now spare 4s.
some time ago I changed my email account and as I no longer had access to it I changed the name of my apple ID to my new email account. what I now realise is that I hadn't logged out of the old ICLOD id on my iPhone and logged back in with the new one. I hadn't thought of this as all was working ok (I don't use any cloud services, just find my iphone).
when I restored my image to the new 4s it came up with a message asking me to log into icloud but with the old ID. As that ID no longer exists I cannot login to that ID. As my new iPhone is on 7.x I cannot delete the Icloud account that came onto it via the backup as find my iPhone is turned on.
so I am now stuck as I cannot log onto an account that does not exist.....
help please.

having looked into this a bit more and found I have a bigger problem than just the one i originally posted as this impacts more than one of my devices.
I think I can pose the question in a easier way.....
I changed the name of my apple ID as it was using the name of an old email account I no longer have access to.
when I go onto any of my IOS devices that are running 7.x to change the Icloud account details , I cannot delete the old account id because when I try to it asks me for the password of my old account ID as I have find my iphone turned on. when I type in the password that was on the old account it says "incorrect apple id or password". I assume because that apple ID no longer exists.
ICLOUD obviously recognises the two accounts are the save as when I run up findmyiphone on an iphobe that is logged in with my new account ID it can see other IOS devices in my family that are still logged in with the old account name.
so my questions is:
how do you log you update an IOS device if you have simply changed the account name of your apple ID if you are on IOS 7 and have find my iphone turned on?

Changed my AD password now cant get into enable !!!

Hi
Changed my AD password and now i cannot get into the enable side of the cisco switches on our network (we have no routers).
Looking on the logs for the ACS v4.2 I can see the following -
On TACACS+ Accounting you can see the connections which have worked - it the initial tty connections -
When i look in the failed attempts i see the following -
Auth failed - External DB user invalid or bad password or on another occasion internal error
or EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CAcertificate during SSL handshake.
Anyone seen this before ?
Steve

Steve,
Just out of curiosity can you verify your user account in ACS and make sure that the enable password is set to use external database?

I now see on my iphone that I have updates for apps waitng to download and when I click "update all" a pop up box with my old apple id appears and asked me to enter the password. I thne tried to enter the password but get an error message saying the id or password is incorrect.
As a result I cant update my apps. What should I do?
Advice much apprecaited.

Did you Create a New Apple ID...?
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

My password has changed whilst installing lion now cant finish install?

My password has changed so i cant install Lion help
i have tried my mobilme password and changed that and re-entered it to no avail

So the question remains: How to install from a local copy?
There is no easy way.
If your Mac came with Lion preinstalled, your options are:
1. Make a bootable clone immediately (before adding any apps or other files). Keep that for emergency purposes.
2. Make a second bootable clone whenever there are major changes (and with all your apps and files installed).
3. Purchase the USB stick from Apple for $69.
4. You cannot purchase or download Lion from MAS (except with/through your internet recovery option) because you did not purchase Lion there in the first place (unless you were to completely erase your hard drive and then purchase/download Lion from MAS and then copy/save the installer to a safe place).
shldr2thewheel:
discs are becomming a thing of the past
I don't believe that is going to happen quite as quickly as Apple hopes it will.
P.S. I give up on the formatting - three tries: your name shows up fine in the reply window and then gets messed up......

Tried to change resolution in gnome, now cant run it

I seem to have gotten into the increasingly unpleasant habit of screwing up a desktop environment within the first hour of installing it....
I just installed gnome, was playing around with it, and I tried to change my resolution (silly me). The screen then went blank, returning me to gnome login manager. Any further attempts to run gnome were greeted with similar incidents, forcing me to run KDE instead.
So,
1. Anyone know how/where I can edit my gnome resolution via the shell? Searchs mostly returned suggestions to modify xorg.conf, though I doubt this is the problem, since kde runs just fine (well, I suppose that depends on how loosely you want to define "fine". anyway....)
2. Why does gnome get angry when I try to change my resolution?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Not really sure what gconf file needs to be edited for you, but you could try using this cli tool:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0/resolution --type=string 1024x768
use man gconftool-2 for more info. Hope this helps.

Nope.
Once you upgrade that is it.

Should I change to IMAP from POP?

Hi all,
I have just purchased an older iMac which will now be my Mac at work. I will be keeping the Powerbook at home and want to be able to check the same mail boxes from there.
Is it best to change to IMAP accounts or keep them as POP?
I have had all my email accounts (5 addresses) POP for the last 5 years, but I still go into the ISP server and delete as needed. Now that I have a second machine I see it starting to get difficult to manage it manually.
I am a graphic designer so do get largish attachments often.
What is the best way I should be managing my accounts now that I have a home and work machine that I want to be able to read and write from? I have given it a go to read about POP or IMAP but haven't found a good resource that explains what would suite me best.
Thanks for any help.

The easiest way to manage email accounts across multiple computers or locations is to use IMAP. Here's a good site to start learning about the differences between POP and IMAP and the advantages of the latter.

How do I change an IMAP MacMail acct. to a POP acct on my iMac?

Hello,
I have an iMac OS 10.6.8 and am using MacMail through AT&T (I know, yuck). Today I created a new macmail account. I noticed it automatically created an IMAP account. I also noticed the incoming and outgoing mail servers didn't match my other email accounts (all POP accounts) so I changed them (along w/the Port # & a few other things). When I first changed the incoming mail server to pop.att.yahoo, I noticed the Account Type changed to att.net POP. Yay! But somewhere along the line, it's back to an IMAP account w/all the POP settings. ???
I cannot find any information at AT&T nor here about how to change an IMAP account to a POP account. As I mentioned, MacMail did NOT offer me a choice when creating this new email account and there is no button-down option to choose POP on Account Type. Any suggestions? Did something in MacMail change in the past year or two?
Thank you!
lablady

Lablady here--> I can't seem to find a way to edit my initial post so I'm adding information in a reply:
From further research & chatting with AT&T, they keep asking me to "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled." and that that button should be on the first window when I click to Add an Account. It is NOT there.
I've been searching the Internet and have found nothing that offers an explanation although I have seen other people asking a similar question: "Can you create a POP account with macmail 4.5?" which seems to say that someone else is having the same problem that I'm having.
Also, it was suggested that perhaps I have reached my limit of POP accounts, so macmail won't create another one. I have my primary account plus 4 sub accounts with POP. I've never heard of any limits on POP or IMAP accounts, have you?
This really is ridiculous. If there is a way to DeSelect Automatically setting up the accounts, can someone send me a screen shot? Or was that option removed with macmail 4.5?? I've been through all the information within macmail: General, Accounts, RSS, Junk Mail, Fonts & colors, Viewing, Composing, Signatures, Rules and don't see a thing about that. I've also looked through the macmail drop-down choices: Mail, File, Edit, etc. and don't see anything that says to DeSelect or even TO Select this option. What am I missing?
I don't like having anything on servers. I want my mail downloaded onto my computer & immediately deleted from the server. I really need to get this email up and running in POP so I would appreciate any ideas, suggestions you have. Many thanks!

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

I cant change my icloud account password, email was hacked and need this all changed

I cant seem to change my icloud account info, need to change the email and password. was able to change it on the computer once but cant change that in my phone or ipad. any ideas

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if running iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Changing from ".Mac" account in Mail to "IMAP"

When I orginally set up my primary Mail account on my laptop it was ".Mac", rather than IMAP or POP. I'm finding I can't fully take advantage of the Alias features. Another posting here explains that if I delete the existing ".Mac" account and build a new one as IMAP, I'd then be able to create alias email addresses. In the present configuration I can "create them", but they don't appear as available in the pull down menu when I send mail. I'm a bit reluctant to delete my present .Mac account in Mail because I get a warning that all my mail will go away if I delete that account. To complicate matters, I sometimes work on my iMac at home, and that one's set up just the same as a ".Mac" account. Presumably I'd have to change that one too? Or is there some way I can make setting up the alias addresses work while keeping my primary account as a .Mac account? Obviously I'm not relating conceptually to what's going on here!

I access my .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Tiger Mail and I use/access a single .Mac alias address at a time. I have no problems with the alias address being available as an address to choose from via the Accounts selection when composing a message.
Do you access more than one alias address at a time?
Does it make any difference when selecting Edit Email Aliases under the Email Address field available under the Account Information tab for the account preferences?
Since a .Mac account is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way, when deleting the account in Mail, no messages available at the server in the account's Inbox or any other server stored messages will be affected when deleting the account and re-creating it as an IMAP type account.
What you do lose when deleting an account in Mail are any locally stored mailboxes/messages for the account such as Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk if these messages are not stored on the server.
If you don't store Sent messages on the server, before deleting the account you need to do the following:
Create/utilize an "On My Mac" location mailbox which is stored on the hard drive and not associated with any account. Transfer the account's Sent messages from the locally stored Sent mailbox for the account to the user created "On My Mac" location mailbox.
Delete and re-create the account in Mail as an IMAP type account. All server stored messages in the account's Inbox mailbox will be available again in the account's Inbox mailbox and after sending a message with the newly created IMAP account which will create a new Sent mailbox for the account, you can transfer the old sent messages from the "On My Mac" location mailbox to the new Sent mailbox for the account so no messages will be lost.
