Client IMAP folder duplication after upgrade to 10.8.2 server. Anyone know how to fix this?
Just upgraded my client's server from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2. It's a Mac mini 2.66Ghz. Now when I launch an email client on a computer on the network (Mail or Outlook specifically) I get multiple IMAP folders created i.e. Deleted Messages 1, Deleted Messages 11, Deleted Messages 111 etc ..... The console log for mail reports that the file names are too long but nothing about their creation. Has anyone seen this before and know how I can fix it?
Below is the server log:

Here is an image of what I am getting on the client:
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Do those folders exist on the server?
You'll need to navigate into the mailstore folder via terminal.
With dovecot, all folders start with a "."
Do you see all of those dup folders?
Check permissions on your entire mailstore, everything should be owned by '_dovecot' and group 'mail'
You could reset perms of the mailstore (assuming default location of the mailstore) with:
sudo chown -R _dovecot:mail /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.

I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now? -

HT5278 I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this?
I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this? Update iOS 5.1.1 It used to have three screens with icons on them, now only 1.
No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS Just have a quick Google!
Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ...... -

My Husband turned his desktop off without shutting down now When my desktop (Mac Power G5) starts up a folder comes up with 2 heads which changes to a question mark. Does anyone know how to fix this.?
Step 1- Try booting to Startup Manager by holding Option/Alt key.
Select the boot source and click the right arrow.
Once booted, open System Preferences and select the desired boot volume.
Replacing the PRAM battery is likely wise if the machine keeps forgetting it's boot source.
If that doesn't work,
Step 2- Boot holding a mouse click, insert the OS X install disc and hold C to boot to the install disc.
Once booted, open Disk Utility and "Repair Disk" on the boot drive.
Once done, reboot normally.
