Email stuck in drafts and makes start up disk stuff up..

Ok, Im so not technical but i'd like some help if possible!
I can not delete an email stuck in my drafts folder that i tried to send yesterday. It just hangs there with the beach ball waiting for the images to download that are no longer on my desktop.
Ive done the whole 'command X' and it will not delete it.
It is making all my other email sending not happen.
Ive tried various things on here that have been suggested but in my library folder there is no 'mail' folder.. so where do I go from here

You can try the following:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the arrow button below the icon.
You need an external drive to connect to a USB port on the computer. The drive needs to be large enough for all the data on the computer's SSD. Clone your SSD to the external HDD.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup SSD.
If this is successful then select your Macintosh HD volume on the Disk Utility sidebar list.
     1. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
     2. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Upon completion quit Disk Utility and return to the main Utilities Menu. Select Install OS X option and click on the Continue button. Follow the instructions for installing OS X onto your computer's SSD.

  • Exchange 2013 issues - (new send email Stuck in Drafts not send)

    Exchange 2013 issues - (new send email Stuck in Drafts folder not send)

    I am also having this issue.
    server 2012 VM with exchange 2013. plenty of resources, more than recommended so cannot be a BAck Pressure issue especially as no clients are connected yet.
    In the early stages of setup and testing, mail sent to other mailboxes worked fine in outlook 2007 and OWA but after a few issue that developed and are now resolved, any e-mail send within outlook or OWA just goes straight into the drafts folder.
    I tried, DNS setting changes under roles, on the server, on DNS server, MX DNS records, increased resources, looked at received connectors, changed and even deleted send connectors as this is not required for internal mail. Tried changing authentication
    types but then outlook won't connect to, staying with Basic Auth.
    Have not been able to test inbound e-mail as this is going to replace a production server and is not ready, although I could probably simulate a route from another server and push e-mail to it. Will try tomorrow.
    I have spent about 20 hours trying to figure this out and made probably 40 changes. Change, test, rollback etc. Been searching through loads of forums and technet sites all with no help.
    All services are started, server has been rebooted several times.
    It is also an AD server and has both Exchange roles installed. There is no reason why it should not work. This is so frustrating, we don't have these issues with the now end of life Scalix, or MDaemon or Zimbra. Pity the client wanted a Microsoft solution.
    To be honest there are not a lot of things that cannot be changed in ECP although there is more under exchange powershell however I am not familiar with all the commands yet. I have resorted to watching training videos even though I am a seasoned IT Pro, although
    not so much with exchange it seems.
    I have seen many people have this issue on Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013. Someone must know how to resolve this or find a work around?
    So far I have an expensive solution the client has purchased that I cannot get running properly.
    Aside from this issue, I really like the new Server 2012 and new Hyper-V.
    I was about to install Exchange Server 2013 on a physical machine due to this f#ckin' issue. But a post for the DNS change has saved my life:

  • New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!
    Thanks for your prompt response,

  • I have a Macbook Air and the start up disk is full so it won't boot up.  How can I get it to boot so I can delete files?

    I have a Macbook Air and the start up disk is full so it will not boot up.  How can I boot it up so I can delete some files?

    You will have to see about booting it from another drive or USB flash drive or another computer. When you are able to then see the following:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • I need to upgrade my browser and my start up disk is full. I have deleted many but it is still full.  What is the problem

    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and I need to update my software.  I deleted items from my start up disk and it still says my disk is still full.  How do I do this?

    If you do not really know what you are doing, you shouldn't just be deleting files and data will nilly.
    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you are an iMovie or Final Cut user, iMovie and Final Cut have its own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Moving iTunes library

    Moving iPhoto library

  • How do I copy my operating system to a solid state drive and make it the disk I boot from?

    How do I copy my operating system to a solid state drive and make it the disc I boot from?

    Where is your operating system now? Basically, you clone it from wherever it is now to the SSD:
    Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the SSD. Source means the drive now holding OS X.

  • Outlook 2013 email stuck in outbox and after restart outlook deletes them

    We're running outlook 2013 + Exchange 2010 SP3.
    I have a user that twice now has called helpdesk to say his email is stuck in his outbox. His client was in cached mode but connected to the exchange server. The first time, after trying a manual send/receive, I exited outlook and very quickly saw the outbox
    empty of the 9 items that were there. I went over to sent items expecting to see them there and they weren't. The recipients never received the emails.
    Today, the same thing happened (it's 2 weeks later and he hasn't had the problem since) but this time we saved everything before exiting outlook. When outlook started again, the messages in outbox were deleted. I did message tracking on the transport servers
    and they never made even made it to the hub transport. However, because I had a record of the precise emails he was responding to this time, I search for them and they actually show that he has replied at X:XX time, but they were never sent.
    I think this has something to do with cached mode so I've switched his client to online mode in the meantime but I was wondering if anyone has seen anything like this. It's the first time I've ever seen outlook (Any version) actually delete email.

    I'm getting the exact same thing with one of my users. 
    We're using Gmail connecting to outlook through a add-in (Google Apps Sync). 
    The user in question has this occur about once a month. As we don't use exchange it can't be the link to exchange that's causing this. I think it's got to be down to something in the local mail cache, OST file?
    We have a lot of users in our business, none have reported this issue apart from this one user. The only thing which differentiates this user from the rest is that she has a lot of PST files mapped and open at any time. I'm talking like 30+ which is
    killing performance. I know this is a huge NO NO in terms of operations but this user is adamant that she needs each and every PST open. She has management back her up with this so my hands are tied. I'm wanting to abolish outlook and just use gmail, just
    so that I have an excuse to get all her mail in the cloud.
    But anyway, this has to be something to do with the local mail store running out of memory or something like that. 
    If I ever get mails into the cloud, I'll let you all know if this issue stops occurring. 

  • Deleted Large Message now stuck in drafts and stopping mail app work at all

    I started to create a message containing a lot of photos from iPhoto - realising it was too big (23mb) I deleted it but it started trying to send the message (there was no address) - it then saved it in a new folder Drafts (.mac) since then I haven't been able to receive email at all. I have deleted the 'draft' a number of times and it keeps coming back. When I send a mail it hangs and doesn't send until I force quit and then it sends it but doesn't keep a record in sent items.
    When I leave it logged in for a while I get a message saying:
    Some actions taken while the account “.Mac” was offline could not be completed online.
    I've reconfigured my online offline settings to only save drafts locally but it hasn't helped and instead has deleted all of my offline folders!
    HELP!!

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.
    By the by, welcome to the wonderful world of Apple computing. You will find these forums represent the best on-line community anywhere.

  • Email stuck on draft.

    I cannot clear a draft off of my iPad.  Whether I save it or delete it doesn't go away so I cannot get to any of my mail.  Does anyone know how to get rid of the draft without deleting the account?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Incoming email stuck in SOIN and Internal recipient Blank

    Hi experts,
    ERMS solution hsa been implemented in CRM 7.0 And I configured a new recipient in CRMC_IC_AUIADDR and SO28 transaction.
    For some senders only,The internal recipients is always blank in SOIN transaction.Hence its not reaching agent inbox.
    Actually incoming new emails are visible in SOIN without internal recipient tagged ,which is supposed to be tagged according to SO28 new recipient entry.But if i send them again from SOIN, the internal recipient is getting tagged and mail reaches to agent inbox.
    I couldnt figure out why this not working for new recipient only and existing set up is working fine.
    Did i miss any config settings? is there any SAP standard jobs to schedule to process the missing internal recipeint mails from SOIN
    Kindly provide your inputs.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Shan

    Hi,
    After going through your response, looks to me, I made a wrong configuration in CRMC_IC_AUIADDR, SO28 transaction.
    Explained here the existing scenario, May be you can point out my mistake where mapping gone wrong.
    In existing scenario,Lets say customer sends an mail from test(at)partnerdomain.com,As you mentioned, inside the network the receiving id is customer.mys(at)domain.com.The exchange server changes to customer.mys(at)domain.com and deliver to SAP system.
    According to existing configuration, In CRMC_IC_AUIADDR, receving email is defined as customer.mys(at) domain.com and Map receiving e-mail address to ERMS workflow  done in transaction SO28 already.
    The changes i made was , When customer logs on to company website and sends an enquiry to enquiry(at)domain.com. Which needs to be sent to same receiver customer.mys(at)domain.com.
    For this,I made a config,defined receiving mail address as ENQUIRY(AT)DOMAIN.COM in CRMC_IC_AUIADDR and and mapped ENQUIRY(AT)DOMAIN.COM with new recipient.
    Regards
    Shan

  • Lion and separate start up disk and or drive

    I'd like to defrag my internal drive which now has Lion on it.  I have several external drives I can make as alternate start up drives but with Lion I don't know how.  I do not have any CD's that I can start up from.....
    Any assistance would be great:)
    Shelley

    Lion is new and fast and does not require defrag incase if you do not suffer from a SLOW Mac
    but If your Mac is slow & is running out of space, defragmentation will help you. defragging your internal drive(Macintosh HD) you can.there is one application called Stellar Drive Defrag which can defrag your boot drive by creating a bootable DVD which can used to boot the system and defrag your boot drive... The software supports Lion.

  • Can I use the disk on my time machine 2TB to store data from iPhoto.  I want to take 250 GB and make it a disk

    I have a time machine 2TB that is backing up my system.  Attached to the time machine is a 1T apple drive.  I would like to move the iPhoto file from my MacBook Air laptop to the time machine and use some of the disk as a storage area.  I plan to keep a backup on the secondary disk that is attached to the time machine is this possible? How do I make another partition on the time machine to handle my iPhotos.

    Actually, it is possible to partition a Time Capsule, but it is not a practical procedure for most users, so that is likely what Kappy meant when he said that you cannot do this.
    Consider that in order to partition the Time Capsule hard drive you must.......
    o  Pull the drive from the Time Capsule (which voids the warranty)
    o  Install the hard drive in a separate SATA to USB caddy or enclosure
    o  Connect the caddy directly to your Mac to perform the partition procedure
    o  Reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule
    o  Check to see if things work
    In addition, the experts in the iPhoto support forum strongly recommend that you do NOT try to use the Time Capsule to store your working iPhoto Library. Apple warns against this as well in support documents.
    Instead, as Kappy notes, the recommend solution would be to add a USB or Thunderbolt hard drive directly to your MacBook Air to store the iPhoto Library.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I was trying to update my iphone software then it started to remove stuff, and it said it would restore since lat backup which was last year. Is my photos and contacts removed since then?

    I was trying to update my iphone software then there was an error and it started to remove stuff out of my phone. it said it would restore since my last backup which was last year. I dont care about my apps or music. Are my photos and contacts removed since my last backup?

    Did you fail to create a backup of the device prior to attempting to update?
    Why did you choose to update iOS without first ensuring there was a backup and that all of your media and pictures were on the computer the device normally syncs with?  Sorry, but that was beyond not smart.
    If you've lost media, pictures, contacts, etc, there is nothing that can be done without a current backup to restore from.  Hopefully you have learned an important lesson.
