Drafts for .Mac account shows false count

In my Mail app (ver. 2.0.8), the Drafts folder for .Mac accout keeps showing false count even though there is no draft in the folder. The counter disappears when I open the folder, but comes back after sending a new email. The number on the counter seems to keep increasing. Any idea how to fix this problem?

Duh! I checked the preferences, and sure enough "store draft messages on the server" was checked. Allan, thanks for your help!

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

IMAP setup for .Mac account and Gmail

I've been trying to use my .Mac account and Gmail with mixed results. I have been using Mac mail for some time and have my folder structure setup for personal and work. Now I want to add a work Gmail account and simply have a separate inbox for the Gmail account. I store messages from both accounts into the folders I have in the .Mac account.
Gmail caused all sort of issues using IMAP in this structure, basically creating another series of folders below the .Mac folder tree. The inbox structure was fine and I could stored Gmail messages into the .Mac folders. But there were duplicate copies of the messages in the Gmail IMAP structure. I wasn't sure if I should just delete the Gmail structure, but the duplicates were driving me crazy whenever I did a message search.
Now I've backed Gmail down to POP and I have all sort of sync problems between my laptop and desktop systems. On my laptop it shows no mail, but when I check Gmail. There is mail in my inbox.
Does anyone have an idea about how to use two IMAP accounts successfully in Apple Mail?

Okay. This has got to be a common issue. And I think I have it solved.
The secret is using an IMAP prefix of "IMAP" and then creatin labels of "IMAP/Foldername" on Gmail.
It's all generously explained on these links:
First setup IMAP on Google like this: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77663&topic=12814
Then follow the advice here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008041016554622

Mail won't let me turn off Server Authentication for .Mac accounts

Greetings. Mail won't let me alter my server settings for .Mac. I am attempting to turn off "server authentication" so that I can use my .Mac account via mail through a hotel network, but every time I change the setting and exit the preferences screen Mail automatically reverts back to the previous setting. Ideas?

Set up a new account for that with account type either IMAP or POP (not .Mac) as you desire.

CC for Teams account showing up as Free

Sent an invite to a user this morning for a CC for Teams account, but the account shows up as Free once validated and he is only able to install Trial versions of the software. If he clicks on the "Activate" button, it asks for a serial number.
EDIT: It also shows me that the user's status is still "Acceptance Pending", though he signed up in response to the invitation that was sent through the licensing portal.

Thanks Rashree, unfortunately our business operates in a number of countries and each country has its own sales, marketing and purchasing departments, any one of which could have originally signed up for a team account. Even in the UK we have a number of individual CC accounts that have been purchased individually.
Our VIP Reseller is unable to supply the initiating account (possibly because they weren't the original reseller at the time) and have sent me a Reseller Change Request Form to send to Adobe. I am reluctant to fill it in on the off-chance that the reseller is still used by an individual, team or overseas team.

Why is my WD My Book for Mac not showing up on the finder after installing Mavericks?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks. I have a WD My Book. I had received emails from WD stating that the software from WD had to be removed from the Mac before installing Mavericks. So I waited until I received an email from WD saying they had resolved the issue. I upgraded to Mavericks and used the new Drive Manager and SmartWare software from WD. The software (WD) recognizes my iMac, but the WD My Book does not appear through their software or in the Finder on my iMac.
I've called WD twice and it seems they have no idea what to do. They replied with an email for software to recover my files. But I can't even see the files on the My Book drive to recover them. Is this a Mavericks issue? Do I need to download something from Apple? I don't think the issue is to recover files. It's just that the iMac is not recognizing the drive at all.
Help!
Thanks,
Jose.

Fast draft for Mac OS X 10.9.4

Hello there,
I am trying to set my new HP Envy 4500 printer to default in "fast draft" (or equivalent) mode to save on ink, on my Mac.
I have downloaded the driver and software, and have been unable to locate printer preferences option to make the change.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance

Hi @sreeds
If you can not find the fast draft option, you may be using the Apple AirPrint driver rather than the HP printer driver.
Please complete the following steps and let me know if you have the fast draft option.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, and re-add the printer using the right driver.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Password will not work for Mac account

Hello,
When I'm using the Mail app, it won't recognize my @mac.com accounts password and I can't get my mail.
It is the same password I use to log on here, why doesn't it work?

why not delete the account in your mail app and add it again.
that way, you can add your new password when you re-enter your account in your mail app/program.
good luck.

Illustrator 17.0.2 Update for Mac not showing up in CC or AUM

I have 17.0.0 and have not been presented with the update yet. Is this normal? Did Adobe pull it? Do they roll out updates only to specific configurations?

Hi Kevin,
Try this: Quit the Adobe Creative Cloud application and launch it back.
On relaunching it will scan all the latest updates/softwares for you.

Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password. Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all. After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on. My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there. But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account. Well I have no idea what that is now. I don't know how to even retrieve it. I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone. I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password. I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit. I think I'm going to get a Droid...

its very specific.
If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
Iphoto i use never used imovie.
If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

"On My Mac" vs "My .Mac Account" in Apple Mail

Hello Everyone,
Since I upgraded to Leopard this weekend, Apple Mail has been acting differently than it used to with my .Mac service.
First of all the underlying theory behind IMAP is to keep everything in sync on the server and on the local computer.
Apple Mail has created the following two different worlds in Apple Mail's Mailbox: "On My Mac" and "My .Mac Account".
The "My .Mac Account" is the account I created to setup my .Mac in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. But the "On My Mac" just popped out of nowhere in the following places:
Trash
On My Mac
My .Mac Account
it has also created TWO exactly identical Mailbox folders with the following headers and subheaders in the Mailbox pane on the left:
On My Mac
Deleted Messages (My .Mac Account)
Drafts (My .Mac Account)
On My Mac
Deleted Messages (My .Mac Account)
Drafts (My .Mac Account)
Why it has created this in the first place and why it has created it twice nonetheless baffles me.
I find it confusing between "On My Mac" and "My .Mac Account".
It was much better before when in the previous Apple Mail on Tiger, we just had Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash. Simple.
I figured out how to get rid of "On My Mac" in the Trash and the two main folders it created twice, but going into preferences>accounts>mailbox behaviors and unchecking all boxes that says to store anything on the server, including drafts, and trash items.
But by unchecking all those boxes, not everything will stay in sync between my computer and the server. If I keep them checked, I get all those "On My Mac" stuff popping up in Apple Mail.
What is there to do? Is there a way to fix this? Thank you very much!
Nicolas

Solution: Go to the User Library and search for the Containers, Apple's newest annoying "feature". Here you find the true Mail folder. Delete everything (unless you have any POP-Accounts, then this solution won't apply). Also go to the Mail folder in User Lib Preferences and delete it entirely.
Then empty the User Caches folder to the Trash, don't empty it.
Open System Settings, delete your iCloud account. If it cannot be deleted due to an error concerning AppleMail, leave it as is.
Restart Mac.
Empty Trash.
Launch AppleMail. Create all accounts other than iCloud.
Create iCloud Account by NOT using the template in the dialog list - do it as "other", AppleMail will recognize it and do the rest.
Open System Settings, create your old iCloud acount again.
Restart Mac.
Done.
