E-mailed files unopenable after updating to 10.4.10

Since updating to 10.4.10 none of the files I send can be opened by the reciever. This applies to .mov .doc. and .pdf files to name but three.
The .mov files I upload to my .mac account play in my .mac web pages, but not when recieved by third parties - they mainly run 10.4.9 and have the latest updates for quicktime and other related software.
Any ideas?
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Check your POWER in About this MAC,
System profiler. You should have higher than 300 cycle count and close to 5000mA
Mine is about 1100mA and lasts 8-10 minutes before complete shut down.

Keynote files deleting after update to 10.8.4

I performed a small edit to a Keynote file today after updating to 10.8.4 last night (used the combo updater). The file crashed during a presentation and I though "no big deal, I'll just re-open it." When I went to find it, it was completely gone. Vanished.
I booted up Time Machine back at the office, restored the file, and chalked it up to some fluke. Then I edited a different Keynote file. It kept popping error messages about not being able to locate media files and I eventually closed it. Again, I went to find the orginal file to re-open and it too has dissappeared. This time, Time Machine wouldn't even let me restore it from a backup.
I ran disk utility and it found minor errors in the volume bitmap and free space remaining. So I booted to the recorvery partition and repaired successfully.
I'm up and running again, but my Keynote file is still missing. I'm afraid to open Keynote again for fear of this happening again.
Is there any known issue with 10.8.4 corrupting the file system, particulary when opening and editing Keynote files?

GordonGecko9:
- First, make sure you back up all remaining Keynote presentations. Hopefully, you have a backup of the one that got deleted. I had to get a copy from another folder. Once the file was deleted, Time Machine suddenly thought it was never there in the first place too. That's right, the deleted file was also deleted from Time Machine--even months back.
- Once you have backups of your files, run Disk Utility and see if there are any errors. I had a few, so booted into the Recovery partition and repaired.
- Remove all your Keynote .plist files from the directory: /Users/your username/Library/Preferences. Your Library folder will be hidden unless you hold the OPTION key and then select the GO menu at the top. You can just move these files out of that folder and keep them elsewhere if you want them again.
- Check your console log to see if any errors were reported about the time of the crash. I had some message about Flip4Mac confilciting with another video codec, so I deleted Flip4Mac. Not sure if it mattered, but I didnt' really need it anyway.
- Since you have backups of your files now, you can start playing around with Keynote again to see if your problem is solved. Here is what I found:
> After deleting the .plist files, I sill had issues after editing presenations. The changes would take, but then when I went to save the file, I got an error message that the location couldn't be found. When I chose "Save As" isntead, Keynote crashed. However, when I rellaunced Keyonte, the file was saved in its orginal location. (Before I deleted the .plist files, the presenation was gone after Keynote crashed).
> Subsequent edits and saves worked normally on the same file. As I opened other presenations from the same folder in the finder, I got the same errors (crashing and file not saving). But then, upon relaunch everything seemed fine.
It seems that something with 10.8.4 is causing directory errors with Keynote files. When you go to save an edited presenation, it gets confused about where to put it and the file gets deleted instead.
Please keep me posted on if the above "fix" works for you and if you notice anything else.

ICloud Mail file is not updating after many hours, many new attempts

I installed Lion OS on my MacBook Pro (2010) and moved from mobileme to iCloud. When I open my Mail program, it has said it needs to update my Mail files (of course), and I told it to do so. After letting it sit there literally for 8 hours, power supply plugged in, the bar showing progress of the file update goes only to the 25% finished mark and then just sits there! I have cancelled that and started over several times and left it updating for 3 hours or more, several more times.
I realize that my file is big, but if it were too big or choking and freezing, it would show "Not Responding" if I tell it to Force Quit. So far this mail file update process has NOT made Mail show as "not responding" upon Force Quit.
I have set my power supply Energy Saver settings in System Preferences to "never" shut down (only for this time period as I migrate to iHell) and I've told it not to shut down the hard disk nor to sleep.
The Progress/Status bar just keeps humming along as if it is working on the mail file update....but never moves past about 25% complete.
Help!!!

Here is what I've been seeing for HOURS at a time...never going past this 25% completed mark:

Mail keeps crashing after update os 10.9.2

everything work fine with mavericks 10.9.1
after the update to 10.9.2 I cannot open mail: it crashes constantly and I can´t get into the programm on my iMac
I uninstalled all plugins (Mailtags, Herald, GPG-Suite, Mailhub which all worked fine under 10.9.1. Prior to the mac-update I updated each plugin and tested it on my MacBookAir, where everything works fine, even with 10.9.2)
I reinstalled 10.9.2 - the mail application on my iMac continues crashing ...
Deleted the com.apple.mail file in user/library/containers - without success
Repaired permissons ...
Any help out there?
Thx and kind regards

Why won't my Mail app. open after updating to 10.4.4?

I updated my powerbook G4 to 10.4.4. After restarting Apple's Mail application refused to open from my dock. I then tried to launch it by double clicking on the icon in the application folder. It pops up a dialog box which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Reopen' button the dialog box goes away and another one pops up which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly after it was opened. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Try Again' button a new window opens called 'New Account' which 'guides' me through the necessary steps to set up my mail account. When I click 'continue' a new window opens which asks for my user name and also my .Mac account password. Once I enter this info I click on the 'continue' button and it logs into .Mac and gives me an Account Summary so it's acting like everthing is okay until I press the 'continue' button and then I get the same error message as before: "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
I downloaded the freeware program called Preferential Treatment by Jonathan Nathan in hopes it would remove a damaged Mail .plist file. No dice - no problems with Mail prefrence files according to this software. I'm at a loss of what to do next. I read that someone else had a similiar problem - I don't know what to do next. Any help would be really appreciated as I use my Mail program constantly. Thanks! Oh, also when entering this Post and describing my system the OS menu provided does not allow me to select OS 10.4.4. I'm sure that will be udated soon.

Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

Media files hidden after update 10.6.8 to Mavericks.

Hello world,
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 21.5" from 2010: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB DDR3, 500GB.
My problem came about when I updated from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I downloaded Mavericks from the app store. When I tried to install it, it wouldn't let me because it said my internal HD was being used for Time Machine (even though I had Time Machine switched off). So I plugged in my WD USB 3.0 external drive and installed it with that. After the update, it had me create a new default user account, which I did. But now all my media files are hidden and I can't open my media folders on my Macintosh HD. I used Disk Utility to verify and repair disk on my WD external and on the iMac's HD.
Question is, where did all my files go? I believe they're still on my HD, I just can't access them? I was under the impression that after updating to Mavericks that I could just use my old login and all my files would be there, but they aren't. I'm seeing some symbols on my folders, which I can change to have permission to open them, but the files still aren't there.
I also tried the dummy account trick, but to no avail. I could have made a mistake in trying that one though.
Any help for me to see my hidden media files would be helpful. Thanks!

[SOLVED] Wrong handling with file types after update

Arch can't "remember" which program to use for certain file type
Example:
after update arch try to open everything (mp3, avi, doc, odt, rar.......) with gedit, when I set mplayer for avi, Arch try to open every file with mplayer, I set writer for odt files Arch try to open every file with writer and .....
And another thing, every file have "text file" icon

All old e-mails are gone after update

After updating my Gen. 1 iPhone to 2.0 today, I noticed that all the e-mail messages that were on the phone were gone. Inbox, Sent, all of them. Is anybody else experiencing this? I haven't yet tried sending an e-mail to see if my phone is having the same sending issues many of you seem to be having....

I contacted Apple Support to ask for a solution. During a couple of days I received several phone calls asking for info of my different devices and configurations. They didn't have an explanation for my problem and only can recover e-mails for one week ago and. They decide to report to engineering to see what happened and recover the rest.
Meanwhile, after 3 days, my Mail program start to download ALL my mail again. 5000 unreaded e-mails in my inbox. The same way they disappeared they returned. No explanation, no moves, no clicks, nothing. IPhone and iPad sync perfectly.
Two days after that (weekend) Apple Support has called me again (this morning). And that's the strangest part, they have bad news for me because they (nor support neither engineers) cannot recover my lost e-mails!!! Then, I've told them my e-mail has returned and they didn't know it. My problem was solved but Apple Support didn't have a clue why or when.
Happy end but my confidence in iCloud Service has decreased a lot. I've been using my mac.com adress for more than 10 years (most of them paying around 100$) and I didn't expect that kind of surprises and unknwoledge from Apple.

I had the same issue. I called AT&T and chatted with a Technical Assistance Rep. He reset my phone using my IMEI and my ICCID(Sim) numbers. Now my Personal Hotspot is working again.

Problem with mail for exchange after update on E72...

Hi everyone,
I updated Nokia E-mail to ver 3.9 on E72. Now I am facing a problem with mail for exchange. I have configured gmail on mail for exchange. I recieve a warning that "unable to sync contact administrator if problem persist". It started to pop up just after the update was over and is very frustrating. Even previously i used to recieve mails instantly but now it generally takes half an hour for me to recieve them. I deleted and created mail for exchange several times but to no avail.
Also i am not able to automatically recieve mails other emails which i have configured. every time I have to manually download them everytime.
Can anybody suggest a way out.
Thanks
Anil

It could be a problem if you're using your network's connections...
I was on a Pay & Go tariff with o2 some time ago, and needed secure connections for various things, o2 told me they didn't provide secure connections on Pay & Go tariffs...
Could be worth checking with them to make sure it's supported.

ITunes library file corrupt after updating?

Just the other day I updated to the latest iTunes software. This is the first time I've tried to use it and it keeps freezing (the swirly rainbow icon) until I eventually have to give up and force quit. My iTunes library is on an external hard drive which has admittedly been taking longer and longer to boot up each time I connect it, I don't know if this is related.
After doing some research on here I created a new test iTunes library on my hard drive and it worked perfectly, so it must be a corrupt library file? I followed the advice on an old thread and replaced the corrupt library file with an older one from December.
It worked....but here's the complication. Since that last backup in December I started using iTunes Match. When I opened the older library file, I saw that iTunes Match wasn't turned on, so I turned it on and it was saying that none of my library had been uploaded to iCloud except for iTunes purchases. I quickly exited, because frankly I couldn't bear the thought of all my library having to be uploaded to iCloud again (it took days and days...and days!). The music is still on the iCloud, but if I open that older version of my iTunes library it doesn't seem to think that it is.
Any idea what I should do?
Thanks for your help

hmmmm. perhaps try running a chkdsk over the drive on which your iTunes library file is stored:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does that find/repair any damage? if so, do you still get the same message from your itunes?

Library file permissions after update

I just updated to iTunes 8 and was having a problem with permissions for the library files. I was not listed as having access, and additionally is an account named "wheel" that I've never heard of that has access. The icon for this account shows the outline of two people.
I also noticed this issue with an album I recently transferred into iTunes that would not play after I deleted it and transferred it back in. I'm not really sure what's with this. Does anyone have any clues? I'm deleting this "wheel" account from access, but I'm hesitant to do that w/o knowing what it is. Please help. Thanks.

Also, there's another account for "system" that was set to "read & write", but none of my other files or folders have this on them.
Every other file/folder just has my account, "staff", and "everyone". Could someone also please direct me to more information about permissions and these various account? Thanks.
