HELP-Where did my mailbox go?

I went to check my Mail, and when I click on the mail icon in the Doc nothing pops up. It says MAIL in the upper left corner but there is no option to close or open Mail. Nothing is showing up. HELP please. I tried to restart or shut down the computer but it will not let me because it says I have to close MAIL first, but this option is not allowed when I tried.

Try force quitting the Mail app.
Press Option + Command + Esc then select Mail then click Force Quit.

Help -- where did Express Setup Assistant go?

hello, i am a new user to Airport Express. I had all my setting on an "old" computer -- Airport worked great. Just got a new laptop (using Windows Vista) and was trying to put all the admin utitities on my new computer. i have seemed to misplace the install disk that came with the Airport. on my old computer, i used the "airport setup assistant" often, and found it much easier then the airport admin utility. when i went on line, i found Airport Support, 4.2 for windows on the apple website. Downloaded and installed -- but it did not include the setup assistant program. Is there any help out there to know where i might be able to find the assistant and download it? i cant find it anywhere on the Apple website. Thanks for your help...this fourm is awesome...
Matt

I didn't upgrade to Vista, but did need to re-download the same app. Took a bit to find. I also like the Express Assistant Utility. Download the Airport 4.1 for windows (Nov 2004) and execute. The Express Assistant is part of the package.

Where did my mailboxes go?

After moving to ML I cannot find my former mailboxes. Where are the mbox files to import?

They should still be there. Move your cursor down the column on the right side. At each title header the word "show" will appear for hidden mailboxs and "hide" for those not hidden. Click show.

Help, where did my MBA 250 GB SSD disk space go?

I can't account for 123 GB of my MBA 13's 250 GB SSD. A check of the SSD using "Get Info" shows 243GB used. The folders using space on the SSD add up to 120GB being used (as indicated by "Get Info" for each folder). When I look at the details about the SSD using "About this Mac" it states that I have two partitions on the SSD. Is it possible that I have a partition that takes up hard disk space but is not viewable in Finder? I keep running into low hard disk space warnings and can't see why when with the applications, music, pictures, movies, documents and system files on my computer only add up to 120GB. Very frustrated...looking for any help I can get. Thanks.

OK, this is helpful. From the DU info you have a 250 GB SSD that is fully partitioned and formatted as Macintosh HD. If you select the drive on the Desktop then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, what is reported in the upper pane for the drive's capacity, used, and available space?
Do you use Time Machine at all? If not, open TM preferences and see if TM is turned ON. TM is supposed to do snapshot backups on the startup drive when turned on but when no backup drive is connected.
As for the About This Mac display it is not very useful. Other simply refers to anything not in the other categories and may consist of data, logs ,temporary files, cache files, etc. What is relevant is only what is displayed by the Get Info report for the drive.
It would appear there is about 8.7 GBs of free space on the drive. There is also a reserved amount of space equal to the amount of RAM you have. This is used for the sleep image made when you put the computer to sleep. The Recovery HD uses about 650 MBs of space.
I would suggest you get an external drive that is at least the same size as the SSD. Clone the SSD to the external drive using Disk Utility's Restore feature:
Clone 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.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
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 external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Then boot from the clone using OPTION boot. Use DU to erase the SSD then restore the clone to the SSD. After that erase the external drive. Copy all the data in your Home folder to the external drive and erase the same from the SSD. This will free up a considerable amount of space on the SSD giving you a bit more leeway. For OS X to run optimally you need to maintain a certain amount of free space - at least 12 GBs or 10% of the startup drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Overall I would suggest an external drive of 1 TB. Partition it as follows:
500 GBs for Time Machine backup.
250 GBs for additional storage use.
250 GBs for a bootable clone of the SSD.
This will allow you to put your photos, iTunes library, and movie files onto the external drive so you can remove them from the SSD to free up the space they now take up.
The MBA is not a choice for the home desktop computer. So you need to manage the space usage on the SSD. I keep just a trimmed down installation on my laptops. They are treated as the "travel" computer so I only put on them what is minimally needed for the travel. I use a 60 GB SSD but have more than enough free space for travel needs. If I need more space then I use a 500 GB HDD that has all the space I would likely need.

I opened up Mail today and one of my accounts is missing. I do not have Time Machine active. In place of my email address in the navigation bar on the left is an icon named iCloud.

Help, where did my trash can go?

Why did I loose the icon for deleting (trash can) and reply icon on my iPhone?. When reading my emails I always had them at the bottom

hi Fullcream!
thanks for the reply. So here's the deal (which I just discovered 15 minutes ago):
my co-worker wiped out my iTunes. We are running out of space on our shared server here at work, so he is getting rid of the iTunes stuff which is taking up space. About a year ago, we had this problem and as it turned out my iTunes folder was connected to our shared "P" drive. I changed it so it is now located on my "C" drive.
the problem now is that everytime I import a CD to iTunes, the playlist data info still goes to the "P" drive, to a folder called :
P:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
After adding 1000 songs, that data adds up and takes up space. That's why my co-worker wiped it. I still have all my songs, but neither of us can seem to figure out how to have that playlist data go to my C drive instead. Any ideas???
THANKS!

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
Let me know!

I normally put the computer to sleep. This time, with your help, I restarted it. It now works like a charm.
Thank you very much.
I'm new at this. I don't know how "this helped me" got in my reply. Heck, it solved my problem. You deserve all the points they allow. Thanks again.

Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails. I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back. Should not have upgraded?

I do not remember what version of OS it was. I have carbonite back up but I am not sure it backed up my e-mail.

Where did the "Archive" mailbox come from and how do I ditch it

Converting a Mac from SL to Mav and something new popped up. In the list of mailboxes below trash is one labled Archive. What is it? Where did it come from and how do I ditch it? It is empty.

If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

Help!! Where did all possible ringtones go?

Just checked today for songs available for ringtones and from over 100 before, i am now down to 3!! What happened? Where did they all go?

I have this problem, too. In 7.4.1 I had this problem, but when I upgraded to 7.4.2 the ringtone bells showed up again. The next day, the bells have disappeared again.
If you can remember the songs that can be made into ringtones then that will help because iTunes will still let you make them. Otherwise, it becomes trial and error. In the Store menu there is the option to "Create Ringtone..." when you have a song selected, and you can also get the option from the contextual menu that appears when you right-click on a song. Try it on a song and iTunes will then let you know whether you can or can't do it for that song.
I don't know why the bells have disappeared again. It seemed to have been fixed by the 7.4.2 update, but maybe it wasn't or maybe there's now a new problem because the bells are gone again. I hope they figure it out soon. I wonder if it has anything to do with the preference file...

Where did this backup window come from on my desktop. I have always used time machine to backup to an external disc and within the last 2 weeks, this backup window keeps appearing. Where did it come from? Thanks for any help

where did this backup window come from on my desktop. It specifies personal data & settings and tells me when the next backup is scheduled [which I never set up]. I have always used time machine to backup to an external disc and within the last 2 weeks, this backup window keeps appearing. Where did it come from? Thanks for any help

To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.
