Clean Erase Of HD - Missing Mailboxes On Reinstall of SL - Help Please

After Clean Erase,
Missing Mailboxes created for my websites and others from the sidebar.
80% of notes also missing.
Saved to a clone of HD prior to clean erase.
Saw a post once on how to move address book and mail boxes from an ext. HD clone to new clean HD, couldn't find the thread.
I believe that there are certain files in the library that I need to move over.
Not sure which ones.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. New so as much detail as possible if you can.
Thanks,
z

Still don't have the "Mail" notes created before erasing the drive. Am I missing a file?
Dunno about notes... I personally think that this is not something that belongs in a mail client and am a bit annoyed Apple stuffed it in there.
I have to enter a password for the account for the mailboxes. The only passwords I use don't work, is there a way to change the password?
That is specific to your e-mail account, and generally changing passwords requires knowing the old one. You'll need to contact the e-mail provider and ask them to reset the password for you.
What is the best way to move the old address book to the clean drive.
That stuff is all stored in *~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/*. Also, in ~/Library/Preferences/, there are two Address Book-related files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist

  • When I try to install Itunes, I get this error: (translated from Norwegian) There was a network error while trying to read from the file: C: \ windows \ installer \ iTunes.msi I have tried many times to reinstall, but nothing helps, please help me.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

  • It shows me that I need to install missing plugins when I click on it it shows that I don't have any missing plugins i reinstalled it three times please help me

    I had a problem opening tumblr so i reinstalled firefox and now whenever open a website it show a bar says additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page then i click on the button next to it that says install missing plugins and it says no suitable plugins are found please please please help me as soon as you can i love firefox but now using it is too hard .

    Hi abudardaa, I can only think of one plugin that nearly every page requires...
    Do you have the Flash player installed and enabled? You can test on Adobe's page here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Could you also try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Having continuous issues with my iMac, all I want to do is perform a clean install... at my wit's end. Help please. :(

    I apologize in advice if this story is discombobulated or more information is needed to provide me with an answer. I will do my best to provide as much details as possible, but this is a problem that has been occuring for the past few weeks and some things I've forgotten the specifics of.
    I will start by explaining that my iMac specs are:
    Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Version 10.6.8
    I've owned this iMac since about April of 2010. I've never had any problems with it until recently. At one point in time, I had a Boot Camp partition made in order to install Windows, as I wanted to run some games that weren't available to Mac users. After awhile, I eventually bought a Windows Laptop for my gaming needs. When this happened, I decided to erase previously stated Boot Camp partition in order to free up more space on my hard drive.
    After a few months, had major issues involving a trojan virus on my laptop, it destroyed my hard drive, and I wasn't able to buy a new one at that time. Recently decided to try and create a new Boot Camp partition to reinstall Windows. When I attempted that, (I apologize, I don't remember the specific error) it wouldn't allow me, and from what I remember after doing some google research, it sounded like somehow my hard drive had become disorganized, and needed to somehow be reorganized.
    At some point in my google research I found that using the Repair function in Disk Utilities would possibly help. When I tried that, (the only reason I know this is because I tried just now to get the error to pop up) I'm given a message "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    So here I'm thinking, "okay! No big deal! I have the disk still, I will just back up my hard drive to an external hard drive". So I buy an external HDD, back up everything I need. I then put the disk in, and my optical drive spends some time thinking, then spits it back out. It does this repeatedly. I do some more google research, find that optical drives crapping out on mac users isn't all that uncommon. I try to clean it with a trick someone suggested. I then tilted my iMac to one side, it accepts a cd! I try it again, and I'm no longer able to trick my iMac into reading disks. Sad face.
    Instead of hefting large sums of cash at Apple to replace my optical drive, I buy a far more affordable external cd/dvd drive that is working perfectly fine. So after waiting for that to be delivered, 3 days later, I'm excited to finally get a clean install with my OS X drive. At this point, I care little about repairing, and have decided to just completely clean install. I restart my iMac, boot from disk, and I get the spinny thing for about 20 minutes. I think, "hmm... should it take this long?" So I reboot and try again. Same thing. I then let it run overnight, and wake up to spinny thing. When my Mac is on, it reads the dvd just fine. It just won't boot from it and let me start the clean install.
    So then I get the idea maybe I can do a remote install of the disk from my friend's macbook. No such luck, won't seem to recognize anything. Then I see that I can make a copy of the disk image to my computer, and burn that image to a partition made on my external HDD, so that I can boot from that. Well, the only info I could find was a gentleman burning a downloaded version of OSX Lion, but I figured, "hey, its the same thing, right?" I guess not. I tried copying the image using the restore function in Disk Utilities, and it does indeed show up when I hold Option at start up, but booting from it does not start up properly. It starts up like any normal time I restart. I'm thinking its cause the way I copied it didn't involve a .dmg file.
    So I try to copy the image to a file on my computer, but when I do that, I get some sort of input/output error.
    What can I do at this point? I thought I originally set up Time Machine but when I checked recently, no such luck. All I want is a fresh reboot of my Mac. I'm guessing somehow my hard drive became corrupted in some way. I mean, it truly doesn't seem to be affecting anything, except somehow even after deleting all known movie, music, game, etc. files, I still am using up 270 gb of space. Maybe I never un-did the Boot Camp partition properly and kinda screwed myself on this one.
    I've tried just about everything. I never invested in Apple Care, but even had I done so, I think it would have exceeded the warranty, as I had thought it was 2 years. I could be wrong, either way, its water under the bridge now. I need to fix this myself. I'd still like to use my iMac for general use, and to utilize the 1 TB of storage it possesses.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry for the wall of text, its been a complicated few weeks. Thanks!

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • Disk Utility's "Erase Free Space" screwed me over big time.  Help Please.

         Hey, I have a serious dillema.  I free'd up disk space on my mac by transfering files to an external drive, and then used Disk Utility to erase unused disk space to do a thorough cleaning.  Now it seems that out of thin air, Disk Utility said my Mac is out of disk space....it basically filled up my hard drive with 370GB's of god knows what.
    Here's exactly what I did, step by step:
    Basically, I wanted to clean up my hard drive a bit, as I was using about 500GB's out of my 750GB HD (on my MBP 10.6.8)
    -Before I did this test, I did a verify + repair disk permissions, I also organized my computer's files... and just to be safe, I booted up from the D key so I could do an extended hardware test to see if everything was running smoothly.  I then zapped the PRam.  This was my pre-clean maintenence check.
    -Then I transferred all of my files onto my external disk.
    -After this was done, I dumped the files (that I used to transfer to my External) into the trash bin.
    -I emptied the trash bin.
    -Now I free'd up hundreds of GB's of space.
    -It said that I had 376 GB's of free space in my hard drive.  Yay. 
    Now here where it all went wrong:
    -I heard that if you go into Disk Utility, and click on "Erase Free Space" that it goes over all the delted files (that aren't actually permanently deleted) and it permanently deletes them so that it frees up all the loose ends on your mac.  I didn't want any ghost files, or any old installs or whatever...so I thought, yes.
    Now...Disk Utility was doing this for me....and 2 hours later....it said that I was out of disk space.  Disk Utility froze around the 90% completion-mark when it was "Creating Volume" (or something like that) and I had to quit Disk Utility.
    Then, I exited....went onto my desk top and checked my Hard Drive. 
    It said that I had ZERO KB's available. 
    My hard disk was completely full.   How is this even possible?   I had 376 GB's of EMPTY space 2 hours earlier.
    I tried to go into all of my files to see if there were any duplicates made..I checked terminal to see what went wrong, I checked console...I searched, and I searched...and nothing. 
    What.  The.  Heck. 
    Can someone please, please help me?

    Boot from your installation disc, erase the internal drive in Disk Utility, reinstall OS X, copy the files from your backup, and then run Software Update.

  • Missing airport icon in menu bar HELP PLEASE

    Okay, I have a g4 powerbook that came with tiger.
    I am missing the airport icon that once was there in the menu bar at the top right-hand side.
    What I've done: ran disk utility, = all's well, check for software updates = all's well there too., and the most obvious, check the box under system pref. for airport config.
    I check it and it is does, nothing. I go back to system pref. and is unchecked again.
    IM AT A LOSS. Anyone with this problem PLEASE help.
    thanks...

    muecyl,
    Do not concern yourself with the other files that you found at that location. Just leave them where they are.
    Since your problem is also related to some extent to System Preferences, you may benefit from trying the procedures outlined by Dr. Smoke in Try the following....
    Another possibility is to download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC.
    ;~)

  • Adobe CS3 programs wont open after reinstalling...help please anyone?

    Hello
    Im wondering if anyone know how to fix this...
    Im running windows vista and my adobe creative suite 3 master collection decided to stop working and started saying there were errors and asking that i reinstall.  I unistalled the copy and reinstalled and now the programs wont even open, i get no error messages or anything the programs just dont open no matter how many times their clicked.
    Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying to install using my activation code, installing without just as a trial and nothing seems to make a difference.  Finally after about an hour of waiting Ive just got a message when opening fireworks saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working"  something about unistalling and reinstalling that I didnt manage to catch.  This is installed as the trial version so there should be no licensing issue... right?
    Has anyone else had this happen to them and does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

  • IMac 20-inch on OSX 10.7.4 running iphoto 11, my photos from my iphoto library have been deleted. I have time machine but the iphoto library file is missing when I access time machine, help please.

    I have an imac 20-inch Late 2006 model on OSX 10.7.4 running iphoto 11, somehow the application ccleaner has deleted my photos from my iphoto library. I have time machine but the iphoto library file is missing when I access time machine.
    To restore photos I have followed the steps below
    Quit iPhoto.
    Connect your Time Machine drive.
    In the Finder, open the folder containing your iPhoto Library. Unless you've moved your iPhoto Library, it can be found in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library.
    Enter Time Machine.  (Time Machine can be found in the Dock or in the /Applications folder.)
    Choose your desired backup. The timeline on the right side of the screen displays a purple tick mark for each of the backups stored on your Time Machine drive.
    Select the iPhoto library you would like to restore, and click the Restore button.
    I dont get the option in step 6 as I dont have an iphoto library file to choose? Does anyone know why?

    Hi Barry
    Thanks but as mentioned all is intact, even at step 3 I can see the current library in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library which has no photos, but when I access time machine any point before the NOW option the iphoto library in Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library is missing from the finder window. 
    As you can see here it is
    and now its gone. I have no explanantion.
    How do I go about moving this question as you suggested.

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
