Does deleting yahoo mail account in system prefs and recreating it as Add Other Account lose mail data?

Having trouble getting Notes from iMac to sync with iPad and iPhone. On iPad and iPhone I deleted Yahoo mail account in prefs and recreated it as Add Other Account. This restored Notes that had not been showing up. Can I do the same thing on my iMac?

I'd add the new account first, unless you can lose all your eMails in that account.

iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

You can do this at My Apple ID

What does deleting a user account do?

What does deleting a user account actually do? If the account that is being deleted is the one from which many programs have been installed, does deleting the account delete the software too?

It instantly deletes everything to do with that account.
But programs can be installed for all users or just one user.
There is an Applications folder at root, then possibly another one for each user, if the Apps aren't at root, then they'll be gone deleting the user that installed them for only that user.

10.7.3 does not show up on my system update and it says that all system is all up to date even though my mac is 10.7. all updates do the same thing.
thank you

Click on the Apple icon (upper left-hand corner), select About this Mac, and post the OS X version number.

oops! that should've been 3.6.8!

Delete Yahoo mail account on iphone

On my iphone, in the settings of "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", I have a Yahoo mail account configured. If I delete this Yahoo mail account on my iphone, will my original Yahoo mail account on Yahoo mail server get deleted together?

Bruce, I recommended for you to do that in my last post to you so you could fix your email problem. This WILL NOT delete your yahoo account from anywhere but your phone. Re-enter it after you have done so and you will start getting and being able to send your e-mails again.

Want to delete yahoo IM account from Continuum.. frustrated

Hi All,
My phone keeps logging me into my IM accounts (G-chat and Yahoo) even though I've signed out. I know I can't delete IM from the phone, but how do I delete the accounts from the phone or at least PLEASE figure out a way for it to quit logging me back in all the time.
I've deleted my phone number from my yahoo account online so it's the phone that keeps logging me back in even though on yahoo I've selected the options to NOT NOT NOT log me in to my mobile device AND I've deleted my phone number. Apparently, it doesn't matter. There is still something somewhere on the phone that keeps logging me back in.
I do NOT want to do a full data reset, so how do I get my password off of the IM accounts so it will quit logging me back in??
I've been digging for an answer but have not yet found it. Really hoping someone can help.
THANK YOU!!

Good morning.
I was able to play with the Samsung Continuum and the only way to remove/ delete your Yahoo is to to a Factory Reset. I tried every other menu/ option and I was unsuccessful in removing [only] Yahoo IM. Below I have provided you with the steps to do a Factory Reset.
It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos
This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information:
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch Privacy
Touch Factory Data reset
Touch Reset Phone
Touch Erase Everything
Warning: This will erase all data from your phone, including:
Your Google account
System and application data and settings
Downloaded Applications
Thank you,

Deleted column from spaces leaves System Prefs in limbo

HELP! This is my work machine. Someone deleted one of my columns of Spaces, now System Prefs is only visible when Spaces is activated. Example:
System Prefs appears in the Upper left, but not the actual window. I activate Spaces and and the windows shrink back to show my 3 spaces and the System Prefs window is floating above full size, but I can't click on it. Clicking on it only activates the Space that is below where I clicked, as if it were invisible. PLEASE HELP! How can I get my lost apps back?

homedirectory means your home directory, the folder that looks like a house named with your short user name. Inside of that is a folder called Library, inside of that is Preferences. That is where the file is located.
Did you go into the wrong Library?

Why does my Yahoo Mail consistently "stall" or "freeze" when I check my email using Firefox.

I press a button (such as "send" or "delete"), and nothing happens. No error message. Nothing. Occasionally if I wait long enough, the program responds. Doesn't seem to be a problem on other browsers.

Yahoo Mail freezes Safari on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) and I have been force reloading pages to free it up again. Now that doesn't seem to work either. This evening I about given up on using Safari with Yahoo altogether. I don't why this has to be - I've been using Yahoo Mail on my Macs since 2001 and never had trouble. For now, I'll be using Firefox for my email but I'd sure like to go back to using Safari.

Apps auto-launch on startup, despite System Prefs and quitting before shutdown.

All apps that were open before shutdown are relaunching themselves upon startup.
This behavior occurs even if I quit each application individually before initiating system shutdown.
This behavior occurs whether I tick or untick the following settings within System Preferences / General:
• Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
• Close windows when quitting an application.
This behavior occurs despite none of the apps being listed within System Prefs / Login Items.
Examples of auto-launching apps (behavior occured just now with these): TextEdit, Dictionary, Calendar, Contacts, Safari, Firefox, Excel, Acrobat.
I am the administrator and only user on this machine.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, 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.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal 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 boot 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

from the menu bar.

System Prefs and App Store behaving bizarrely since installing ML

Since installing Mountain Lion a few days ago I've been experiencing some troubles with my System Preferences and the App Store. When I try to launch "Security & Privacy" "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" "iCloud" "Software Update" or "Notifications" it gives me the error "To use the "[Name]" preferences pane, System Preferenes must quit and reopen at which point it launches in 32-bit mode and then I get the error "You can't open [Name] preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac". I figured an update may be available, so I try to launch the App Store and I get "App Store cannot be opened because of a problem. : Check with thte developer to make sure App Store works with this version of OS X."
However, if I login to the guest account on my computer I can launch the App Store and edit all my System Preferences no problem. I have already repaired disk permissions, made sure the "32-bit" box is unchecked, etc. and reinstalled the OS.
Please Help!
FYI: I'm on a iMac 2.66 GHZ C2D w/ 8GB OS X Version 10.8 if that matters

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.
