How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

How do I keep an archive of all email in Apple Mail on my computer for one year?

I operate a small business, and need to keep an archive of all email on my computer for at least one year (not on the cloud, as I live on a small island and our internet service is sporadic). I prefer to manually delete all email after 12 or 13 months. It seems like Apple Mail no longer allows this?

What type of account(s)? (POP, IMAP, Exchange)
You can move messages from the sever ( IMAP or Exchange) to a folder under "On My Mac" to save directly to your computer.
When you drag a message it copies. Use the Move icon to move off the server to "On My Mac" folder.
You can select to delete any email at any time by selecting messages then click on Delete.

How to remove thousands of duplicate emails in Apple Mail?

Hi everybody,
I know there are a couple of discussions on the web already about this issue, but I cannot find one that clearly answers my question or solves my problem.
I'm working on Lion with Mail version 5.1 and I have a Gmail-account. I have been messing around a bit with IMAP and POP to re-collect all my Gmail-mails into Apple Mail, but now I see that almost every email has 1 to 5 or even more duplicates.
I've tried Andreas Amann's "Remove Duplicates" script, but whatever Mailbox I check, it doesn't work with Lion (yet). I get this error:
There is another script I tried, the one from this page: http://hints.macworld.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=115625
It just makes my computer freak out, so not OK.
A third script I found here: http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/
I downloaded the "RemoveDuplicateMessages-Mail.zip"-file and installed it. It does say it finds and relocates duplicate mails from the Mailbox that is selected in Mail:
It relocates all the duplicates to a folder on my Desktop, called "Remove Duplicate Messages". I do find them there, but the mails in the selected Mailbox in Mail.app still show their duplicates! Even when I throw the files from the new folder on Desktop in the Trash and empty it, nothing changes. Not even after restarting Mail. Or my Mac.
So I'm still stuck with thousands of duplicates. Any help on this one?
Thanks a lot,
Alexander

I have found a very satisfactory solution to eliminating my duplicates in Apple Mail, which is to stop using it and switch to Thunderbird.
There's lots that I like better in Apple Mail, but Thunderbird is light-years more flexible in managing your email than is Apple Mail, because Thunderbird is an open platform with excellent Add-ons available, which include the nifty Remove Duplicate Messages: http://bit.ly/tbird-dups. It is stupid that Apple Mail hides duplicate messages in the background & won't allow users to search and destroy them. Frustrating!
As a prologue to that, you need the TB import export Add-on: http://bit.ly/tbirdimportexport
Managing my mail locally on my Mac was a huge project for me, involving integrating tens of thousands of emails. Mail was from gmail, yahoo, and many years of Outlook PST files.
Now that the project is complete, I'm very happy with Thunderbird to manage my email archives. Though I actually would prefer the Lion Apple Mail interface for day to day use, it just isn't flexible enough.

How can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad

how can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad?

Iif the photos were synced to the iPad they can only be removed by connecting to iTunes on your computer, unselecting the photos folder that you synced to the iPad and then follow that with a sync.
IF the photos are in the camera roll, open the camera roll album, tap the as select button in the upper right corner, tap on each photo that you want to delete in order to select them and then tap the trash can icon.

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

I am soooooooooooo confused now. Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
Neither of the above are Apple's products.

Selecting multiple items by choosing first and last to include all those in between...

Hello all.
I'm familiar with how to select multiple items by using the shift key and the command key to select either individual items, or a batch of items by clicking the first to be included and the last to be included, and having all those inbetween included as well, but for some reason this is not happening when I'm trying to select files in OS Lion. Regardless if I use the shift key or the command key, only a single item is selected, and for a range of items, I must click each individually.
Is there a setting that I need to alter to select a batch? Am I missing something that they've changed from the previous OS?
Thank you for your help!

I can confirm that does still work in Lion as you describe, but at the moment, no fix to offer. I'm not aware of any setting. It just supose to work.
I did find this article which may help. But proceed at you own risk in deleting .plist files. It may do the trick, but also cause you to reset certain key functions.
A simple thing to try first is to repair permissions. .../Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Select your Volume/Repair Permissions

HT201320 How do I set up a group of emails? Is there a limit?

How do I set up a group of emails? Is there a limit?

Hi,
You can indeed create groups (family, friends, ...) on your computer, and then sync with iTunes on your iPhone. I find it is quite complex. When you will need to modify a group (add or remove a member for example), you will need to do it on computer, and sync again.
I am proposing you an alternative : I have developed a free application to manage contacts groups, to populate these groups, and then to send emails or texts to all group members in one tap.
I tried to respect as much as possible iPhone design (simple, intuitive,...).
You can download it for free on App Store here:

I would be pleased it could help you.

I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Hello spinozette,
I am sure you are eager to download and watch Season 1 of The Wire. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the episodes do not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the episodes from the list of past purchases. You can find the steps to do this in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the rest of the season, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your Account', then in the first pane which opens you will see your Apple ID with an 'Edit' link to the right of it. Click that and you should be able to change the ID to your email address. Then you can sign in with it in System Preferences>iCloud to open an iCloud account and create a new @icloud.com address.
If you are not inextricably wedded to using your existing ID you can skip this step: just follow the method described by IMP68 here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
this will enable you to create an ID which is also the @Icloud.com address which you choose. (You can still sign into iTunes with the old ID if you want to - there is no connection between the two.)
