Deleting messages in 'Classic' - can I have the ol...
Like others I am desparately trying to get back to the old email. Is there a way? I have fortunately not started the new email and am stuck in the limbo of using Classic which is also terrible. Is there a way to select the messages to delete them without having to click those pesky boxes???? I am getting RSI!!!!

Thanks Keith.
I tried all that and it looked to install properly. But keeps timing out when trying to connect to my server, and my personal folders have not appeared?
Any ideas? I ahve re-checked all the settings and they look fine
Thanks

The only time I have seen that is when there is a setting wrong. This is usually detected when you first create the account, as it validates your settings against the BT yahoo server. You will get an error at this point if anything is wrong.
Usually its because the password has been entered incorrectly, or the account name is incorrect.
Once it gets past this point, its usually fine. It can take a short while when you first try to read the folders, as it has to fetch the list of folders.
If you look at the activity manager, you can normally see what is going on. That is on the "tools" menu.
If its failing for some reason, the information will be in that log.
I assume that after you entered your e-mail account and password, you got a message saying that it was looking up the ISP details, in the Mozilla database?
You then should have seen a screen asking you to select IMAP or POP. Did you see this screen below? You must select the IMAP box, otherwise you will have to delete the accont and start again.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

You don't. Change all your passwords, tell you provider, tell the police, tell your insurance company.

Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciatedThe "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

I have Aperture3 and iPhoto. When I try send video clips as attachments, I get a message saying Quicktime can't open the .avi - why? Others couldn't open them so I sent them to myself and get the same message. Doesn't seem to be a size issue as I've tried with really short clips (4 seconds). As I recall, I didn't have this problem before buying Aperture last fall, when I only had iPhoto. It appears that by default, an attachment to an email automatically comes from my iPhoto files and not Aperture - assume that is supposed to happen but not sure. Thanks for any and all help!

How are you tryin to send the .AVI file? Are you sending the attachment directly from Mail or from Aperture or iPhoto? -
I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can’t save the file “TEST.pages” because the volume is read only.
I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problemSome of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -

Information to be deleted
Please Please Help MeHi Mohammad,
I'm sorry that you have lost your phone.
If you need to erase the personal information on your phone remotely, here are the steps to do that:
iCloud: Erase your device remotely
If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information.
Important: Before you erase all the information on your device, try to locate it or play a sound on it. After you erase the information on an iOS device, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or play a sound. You may still be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac after you erase it.
If you erase your iOS device and then find it, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see the user guide for your device in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
To erase your device remotely, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost.
I hope this information helps ... -

Why can't I send messages to my friends that have the same thing as me? They can send to me. It says that they aren't registered and they are though.
What phone do you have? And how, exactly, are you trying to send pictures to Facebook? It sounds like you need to log into Facebook on the phone or re-enter your username and password for Facebook. Somehow the connection between your photos and Facebook has been lost, and you need to get them connected again (verify your login information)

Just purchased a new mac with Mountain Lion installed. My iPhoto isn't working. Error message says "you can't open the app "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
First try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

When I try to delete message threads on my iPhone 5, the message app won't work until I restart my phone. Once it restarts, the message threads that I tried to delete are still there. Any advice?
I recently spoke to someone from Apple support, and here's what I gathered:
"Older" phones (read: anything iPhone 4s or older?) sometimes have trouble keeping up with the processing demands of the newest software. When deleting threads with a lot of media (photos, videos, etc), it can take a lot of processing to successfully delete. What this support tech suggested was picking some of the bigger threads at night before you go to bed, deleting them, and then leaving the phone alone-- and plugged in-- overnight to give it enough time to delete everything. He suggested not even pressing the lock button; just leave it to process (though I imagine the screen will lock on its own anyway).
Not sure if it works yet since I just spoke to him, but it's the closest thing I've got to a solution! -
How do I stop getting messages saying "Safari can't identify the website ca.mg5.mail.yahoo.com. The cerrtificate for this website is invalid " In fact there does not appear to be a problem because when I click "continue" everything proceeds as usual. But I would like to stop getting this message.
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 clickApply 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. -

I cannot get my Mini Cooper to sync up with my nano thru the USB port. When I hook up with the cable that came with the Nano, it acknowledges that it is an Ipod however it displays the message that I do not have the correct cable. When I use the audtio adapter cable from BMW it doesn't see the Nano at all. Has anyone else had the issue and what did you do to over come it I tried my nano in another persons car (a Ford) and it worked with no issue.
This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?
