Eudora forgets its history when Leopard is installed

When I upgraded to Leopard (OS 10.5), my e-mail client, Eudora Pro, forgot all its settings and stored e-mail. The problem was Leopard's non-support of the Classic environment.
I have been using Eudora forever and, when migrating from OS 9 to OS X, set it up in compatibility mode, so that both the OS 9 and OS X versions would share the same data files. To permit this, Eudora leaves the files in the OS 9 System Folder, where the OS 9 version expects them to be, and links the OS X version to that folder. Leopard enforces the (reasonable) rule that such files be in the user's directory. I found a newly-created and essentially empty Eudora folder in my Documents folder. Deleting the new folder and copying my old Eudora folder there solved the problem.
Well, maybe not completely. Eudora had to ask for my login password, double printed the "You have new mail" dialog, and crashed the first time I used it, but it seems OK now. Certainly an easier fix than restoring everything from the backups and starting over.

Hi,
I have not encountered this particular problem yet, but I have just bought a Belkin 54g adsl and wireless router. It has connected up to my home pc with no problems and it has also connected up to my macbook pro (leopard) okay, but the range on the internet connection is really poor. It works up to about 50 feet, but I can't use it upstairs, which granted is more than 50 feet away from the source, but at 80 quid I thought it would perform better.
I contacted Belkin support which is local rate and they suggested changing the wireless channel from 11 to 6, but when I did this it would even find the network using Airport.
I would like to be able to use the laptop over 50ft (i.e. in my bedroom) as well as all over the house, but so far I only get as far as the next room!
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful? NB: I am not a very technical user.

    Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
    WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
    Be sure you are using AirPort Utility  5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.

  • When i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems

  • Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...)

    Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

    Hi..
    If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
    Go to    ~/Library/Safari
    Look for the History.plist file.
    Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

  • Firefox 4 forgets all my APP TAB tabs when configured to automatically clear browsing history when Firefox closes? Not much of a feature!

    When I configure
    Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
    all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?

    You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

  • TS1394 im getting an error message when trying to install the snow leopard application cd 2. need  help.

    im getting an error message when trying to install the application cd on my Imac os x 10.6.4   what can I do to solve this problem?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • MacBook Pro forgets its wireless & network internet settings...

    Hi...
    I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro 'remembering' its wireless and network internet settings. I'm connecting via Airportto my Belkin 54g wireless router which is what has been running happily for the last 18 months.
    Here's what happens - AirPort says it's connected, the internet works fine but when the MacBook Pro 'sleeps' or is restarted it 'forgets' its network and internet settings and cannot log on to the internet.
    I get the Network Diagnostics appearing and I go through the options and eventually Network Diagnostics will show everything is fine, except there is no internet connection. I click through next options available on screen and I manage to get the MackBook Pro to restore its internet connection. All is fine until the MacBook Pro goes to 'sleep' again or is switched off.
    This hassle began out of the blue - I haven't changed any settings on the machine, I haven't installed any software or anti-virus programs - it just spung up!
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

  • Snow Leopard New install failed

    I know there are several topics on this subject but I couldn't find one that matched my isue
    My Spec: Macbook, 2.4ghz (?) Intel Procsesor, 4GB Ram, superdrive, 250GB Hard Disk (purchased off of eBay about 10 months ago)
    I was using my Mac to rip some DVD's to put on my iPhone (home made from files on my old PC one) using Islysoft DVD Ripper. Anyway, one of the files that it was ripping must have been bad as it was stuck for ages. It was also making a funy noise, later I found out that it was due to a poor label, it took quite a few attempts to get it out, ending up with the laptop being on its side so I could grab the DVD out of the superdrive.
    In the midst of all this I was trying to shut down the system as it had locked up, in theend I had to push the power button for10 seconds to get it to go off. Once I had got the DVD out I tried rebooting but it came up with a prohibitory/no entry sign and wouldn't let me in. I also had boot camp but the Windows partition was corrupt and had mising files too. I didn't get the original install disk with the machine, just a copy. When I tried installing this it must have been a bad burn as some of the files could not be loaded.
    So I went back to my Windows partition on BootCamp, re installed it and al was fine and dandy, it worked OK.
    So today I went out and got Snow Leopard from our local apple reseller (Square) and tried installing it. It came up with an error upon trying to install it, saying that it could not install on the original hard drive. After reading up on the net, it turned out I had to re partition. I decided that as I had not done much on Windows, I would go the whole hog and start off with a fresh 1 partition hard drive, as I use VMware fusion for my Windows use anyway.
    So, fresh new hard drive, now it allowed me to install. But I got a message saying installation failed, please contact the software vendor. I tried installing again and got the same message
    So seen as the hard drive has not worked for OSX since the crash, I am leaning towards that as being the problem. But I have also seen on here that it could be RAM also, possibly came unseated during earlier trying to get the DVD out?
    I am seriously considering getting a new hard drive as I am thinking of using my external hard drive for time machine as opposed to documents. But before I do I wanted to ask on here to make sure of what the problem is, before I spend out my money. It seems strange that Windows worked fine (albeit on a different partition) and OSX does not, but there you go, I ditched Vista to get away from all this palaver!

    Hi Russ, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you repartitioned your drive, did you choose GUID?
    This could potentially cause the problem or your disk may be on it's way out.
    Run http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15837/rember for your RAM.
    Also run Apple Hardware Test. Option-boot from your SL DVD and choose Apple Hardware Test.
    Let us know.

  • G5 iMac forgets its Admin password

    My 3½ year-old G5 iMac running OS 10.4.11 forgets its Administrator password after running for a few hours. I discovered this problem when I tried to install the latest Security Update. The computer kept telling me that the password I was entering was wrong. Does the same thing with another known-good keyboard. Rebooting temporarily fixes the problem, but when I attempt to switch to another account after a few hours of running, I get the "Login Shake." Any ideas?

    My guess is RAM, CPU, or better yet, the HD, it is approaching the life expectancy of many IDE/ATA drives.

    Hello, 
    I wouldn't say the iMacs are perfect yet (not nearly as slick as my last iMac G4 or iMac G3) but a whole lot less buggy then the PCs I use at work! Apple has released two updates (iMac 1.3 and iMac 1.2.1 for Leopard and Tiger respectively) to improve stability. If these aren't installed when you get the machine you'll be offered them in +Software Update+.
    I purposefully bought my iMac with Tiger knowing I would upgrade. It's very very easy to upgrade OS X so don't worry about whether Leopard is in the box or installed. Macs always have all the software on optical disc so you can completely erase the hard disk and still return it to it's factory state. Apple doesn't put disk images on the hard disk.
    The upgrade process is so slick that my new iMac has all the software from my iMac G4 and even the web-history is there from before the machine arrived. (Migration Assistant can copy a whole user profile across).
    I wouldn't hold your breath for offers on the iMac though. The only ones I've seen in the past are free inkjet printers or discounts on iPods for students.
    kind regards
