Disappearing inbox mail since upgrading to Leopard

I went from Tiger to Leopard about 2 months ago. Since then messages in my inbox mysteriously disappear. I spent 1 hour at the Genius Bar tonight, and they confirmed that this is a Leopard 'glitch' (their word) and it happens for a small percentage of users. It's fairly frustrating, however tonight, my ENTIRE inbox is empty (after having over 1000 emails just one minute prior.) I would call this more than a 'glitch'. This happened on my IMAP mailbox. Anyone else having this issue???

I think that I have the same problem. Mail has begun to loose mail occasionally. Sometimes all mail in a certain IMAP mail account disappear. Mail notifies for example that new mail mail has been received and shows a proper number in dock icon, but none of the mails in this specific IMAP INBOX folder shows up (neither the old nor the new mail). This certain inbox is completely empty and yet the new mail sign is on. What is even more confusing is that the mail which is located in subfolders (IMAP) is visible and accessible. Just the inbox is completely invisible. I have witnessed this behavior both on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Then the mail suddenly after unspecified period of time appears again. However now, at this time, I have not been able to see/restore mail messages that have disappeared. This problem seems to concern only one of my three IMAP accounts. All other IMAP accounts works properly.

  • Can't send more than 1 photo from iPhoto to Mail since upgraded to Leopard

    Hi there,
    I'm using an older version of iPhoto (4.0.3). We recently upgraded to Leopard, and ever since then, we haven't been able to use the Email icon in iPhoto to attach photos in Mail. It prepares to send all the photos, but only attaches one to a message, and then I get an error message saying, "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id (a long number). Invalid index."
    Does anybody have any idea as to what's going on here? It's very frustrating!!!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the current software combination you are using, there IS actually this need -- your post (and others) here give evidence that it does not work otherwise. Your choices would seem to be -- in descending order of complexity -- a) revert to OS X 10.4, b) install a newer version of iPhoto, or c) take the extra step of exporting.
    Alternatively, have you tried preparing a new message first, then just dragging the selected images directly from iPhoto to your message?
    Um, you seem to be contradicting yourself, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
    As I already said, I DON'T NEED to take the extra step of exporting the photos into a folder, as I AM selecting and dragging the images directly from iPhoto into Mail.

  • 'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard

    Hi, I regularly seem to get a 'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard, any ideas why, have to reboot to shake it.
    cheers
    Simon

    I solved the same issue by resetting the SMC. With the computer off, remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then reinstall the battery and restart. I haven't had any bluetooth issues since.

  • MB Pro, with Tiger, which has since upgraded to Leopard - Install Discs?

    My MacBook Pro had originally been installed with Tiger. I have since upgraded to Leopard.
    Should I need to boot from my install discs, which install disc do I use? Will my Tiger install discs work with Leopard, or should I use my Leopard disc (retail version)?
    Thank you!

    Actually you would be better to install Leopard directly. You can reinstall pre-bundled software separately without installing Tiger. An Erase and Install of Leopard would be preferable to installing Tiger then upgrading to Leopard. Less chance of a problem.
    Hi Kappy,
    Some, at least, of the late 2007 MBP C2D 2.2 and 2.4 GHz MBPs (mine included) actually came with Tiger Installed, but with a "drop in" copy of Leopard enclosed in the box. From memory the version of Leopard included will only install if the original software is in place. (I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'll check) Not sure what Trisha's situation is, of course, but worth bearing in mind as a possible issue.

  • Please help - computer is crashing & freezing ever since upgrade to Leopard

    Ever since upgrading to Leopard, my computer has been crashing a lot more. Sometimes it just freezes up. Most recently, I got the gray screen with a bunch of different languages telling me to restart using the power button. Here is the crash report. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and if there's anything I can do to help?
    Thanks!

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot iSync to my Nokia 6233

    Since upgrading to Leopard I cannot iSync to my Nokia 6233 via bluetooth (I never did it by USB). The devices are paired and I can transfer files via Bluetooth so the basic setup is there. I have installed the Nova Media phone plugins for isync and my 6233 appears on my isynch bar and allows me to chose what to sync but when I click sync it cannot connect. (I have also been unable to use launchtonet from Nova Media since the upgrade. When I try to use it I get a message that no devices were found within reach.) Something is out of kilter - anyone got a suggestion? thanks a lot, JJ

    Hello,
    I have the same Nokia 6233 and the following way solved the problem.
    1. Go to /Applications -> iSync.app -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> PlugIns -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources. (From Finder, use Shift-Command-G, for Go to Folder; or Control-click iSync in Applications.)
    2. Open MetaClasses.plist in a text editor.
    3. Search for <key>com.nokia.6230</key>. Then find the end of the script for the 6230 phone - the </dict> tag just before the next phone's <key> tag.
    4. Copy the following script and paste it between the </dict> tag for the 6230 and the next phone's <key> tag:
    <key>com.nokia.6234</key>
    <dict>
    <key>Identification</key>
    <dict>
    <key>com.apple.cgmi+cgmm</key>
    <string>Nokia+Nokia 6234</string>
    </dict>
    <key>InheritsFrom</key>
    <array>
    <string>family.com.nokia.series40.3rdEd.bus.bt</string>
    </array>
    <key>Services</key>
    <array>
    <dict>
    <key>ServiceName</key>
    <string>com.apple.model</string>
    <key>ServiceProperties</key>
    <dict>
    <key>ModelIcon</key>
    <string>NOK6234.tiff</string>
    <key>ModelName</key>
    <string>6234</string>
    </dict>
    </dict>
    </array>
    </dict>
    5. If you have a Nokia 6233, change all the references to 6233 to 6234.
    6. Save and close the MetaClasses.plist file.
    7. In the same folder, duplicate the file NOK6230.tiff. Change the filename to NOK6234.tiff (or NOK6233.tiff if that is your phone). This file is the image of your phone which appears in iSync - if you want an accurate pic of the 6233/6234, find one and save it as a 60x60 transparent .tiff file).
    8. Open Bluetooth Preferences. Delete any existing pairing for your Nokia 6233 or 6234 phone.
    9. Create a new pairing for your phone.
    10. Open iSync and you should now be able to sync your phone:)
    If it works just copy the MetaClasses.plist file and save it anywhere. For the next updates You just have to copy it into the folder in iSync. This helps You saving time.
    If You want to use my MetaClasses.plist, You may send me Your Email-adress. Then I will send it to You.
    Good luck

  • IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
    and if they were 100% the same then I would

    there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

  • Since upgrading to Leopard, can't check for software updates or iTunes stor

    since upgrading to Leopard, i can't get software upgrades. I get error messages "software update can't connect to the update server. make sure you're connected to the internet, then try again. software update can't check for updates because of a network problem." My network connections are fine.
    Also get "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. the network connection was refused. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." when I try to go to itunes store. Again, my network connections are fine.
    Any ideas?

    the solution is to use Little Snitch Configuration.app, which monitors online activity and gives option to allow/deny access of a given program.

  • Mail won't work since upgrading to Leopard

    I just upgraded to Leopard and now Mail doesn't work at all. I click on the icon and it says, "You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X. Everything else works fine.

    you may have more than one Mail.app on your computer, and you may try to launch the Tiger version instead of the Leopard version. Can you search for Mail.app and see if indeed you have more than one, then select Mail.app 3.0, the leopard version and start it up.
    Once you have located the correct version, trash the old one.
    hope this helps

  • I can no longer attach files in Yahoo mail since upgrading to FireFox 4.0.1. I click the "attach" button and nothing happens - no file list to select from appears; nothing.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 the "attach files" function in my Yahoo Mail account no longer functions. When I click the "attach files" button nothing happens - nothing. No file selection box opens, no error message appears, no pinwheel of death, nothing.
    The "attach files" button is no longer 'hot' in FF 4.0.1 either = the "little hand" icon does not appear when I scroll over it. Other action buttons are still 'hot' ("attachments", "emoticons", "format", "hide bcc"etc.) - just not the "attach files" button.
    The Yahoo Mail "attach files" function still works when I use my Safari browser, however. So, it appears to be a FF4.0.1 issue.

  • Can't send attachments in mail since upgrading

    Hi-
    Since upgrading, I can't send attachements in Mail.  The filenames appear all grayed out and they can't be highlighted.  In order to attach, I have to open through Finder and drag over into Mail. 
    What gives?
    s

    Usability and interface issues with Gmail aside, I did figure something out. (I don't really use Gmail, it just seemed like a good at the time when I was setting up an account for a friend so I could help out with issues.)
    I couldn't add attachments to a new message either. In fact, when I clicked the link to add an attachment, the link disappeared. I discarded the message, opened a new one, click the add attachment link, and the link disappeared again.
    Turning off the blocking of pop-up windows didn't change the outcome.
    So I opened a new message and looked around.
    I noticed a little icon in the upper right of the message, just above the To: field, a sort of double square with an arrow in it. It looked almost like icon used on Windows to indicate maximizing the window for full screen, except it had an arrow that looked like the "Forward" arrow when you want to forward a message instead of replying. No tool tip came up so I decided to try it.
    This made the message disappear, and popped open a new smaller window which eventually loaded the message. Looked about the same as before but without the rest of Gmail. Curiously, the add attachments link actually worked, without disappearing. A dialog popped open (looked like from the OS, not a browser window) and I was able to select a file. It appeared listed below the subject and above the message, with a progress indicator that took several seconds (half a minute?) before any progress happened. It did eventually get started and completed the upload.

  • Cannot open mail after upgrading to leopard

    I cannot open mail after I upgraded to leopard. I keep getting this message that "mail has unexpectadly quit. I have sent reports to apple. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    5.1.4 will solve the compatibility issue, however, it is no longer available from Apple -you would have to find a copy on Ebay or similar. The current version is FCP 6 -part of Final Cut Studio 2.
    Going back to Tiger will also solve it and will not cost anything, apart from the time spent reinstalling.
    Unless there is some feature in Mac OS X 10.5 that you really need, this would be the easiest way to get FCP running again.
