HT4796 "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as option to choose to migrate from XP

I am attempting to migrate files from a WinXP computer to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. Almost all files transferred successfully, but it doesn't appear that the Outlook email transferred. In fact "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as an option to choose in the migration screen. I have done the migration successfully to three other computers, but they were running Lion. Any ideas?

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

  • New personal mail account doesn't show up in 'Mail' iPhone 4 - 7.1.2

    I've just bought an iPhone 4.
    I've created a new mail account and the mail icon shows 3 messages.
    Touching the 'mail' icon brings up the usual list of mail services but my new account doesn't appear.
    In 'Settings' my new account is there.
    Why doesn't it show up in the 'Mail' list?
    I just can't find out how to access/use this account - the user manual is no help.
    Help appreciated
    David

    Additional info.
    The new account is a personal account in my own domain.
    'Mail' obviously recognises it as it shows the 3 messages

  • Mail Account doesn't show up!

    My mail account is set up under my mail settings but doesn't show up in mail. When I open mail, it simply shows the screen to help me set up a new account. Please help.
    Thanks

  • Account doesn't show up in system preferences

    In an attempt to override my master password, I started my computer in single user mode, typed /sh/mount -uw / and passwd, and then entered a new password. However, this created a new account called System Administrator on my computer that shows up in the login menu as "Other…". I want to delete this account, but when I log in to my usual account, the System Administrator account doesn't show up in System Preferences. Can anyone tell me how to delete this account?
    (Btw, any tips on how to find out what the password is for the root user would be helpful. From my normal account, the new password I entered doesn't work for root, although it does in the System Administrator account.)
    Thank you!

    Hoping that we are on the same page., but sounds like what you did was enable the root user.
    Its a user that will not be seen in system preferences and should never be gotten rid of (its great for troubleshooting).
    The root user or (system administrator) is different from a User account with Administrator access.

  • I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer.  Is there a time limit?  I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

    I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer.  Is there a time limit?  I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

    Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
    If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
    If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

    The update didn't apply correctly.
    Did you follow the steps exactly in order to restore? disconnect all cables, open iTunes, then connect micro usb

    Make sure to connect directly to computer, not a keyboard port or USB hub. Try a different cable.

  • HT2534 I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

    I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
    e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

  • I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
    If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
    Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
    The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data.

  • I'm trying to record only part of my screen using my Quicktime 10.0, but once I press record in the "Screen recording" feature it automatically starts recording and doesn't give me the option to choose what part of the screen to capture. What gives?

    QuickTime version 10 can only record the entire screen.
    10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 offer part of the screen recording.

  • No Mail Shown In Inbox. Mail Accounts Not Now Showing Up In 'Preferences'

    Just opened mail to retrieve latest emails. Don't believe that I did anything unusual.Program came up with some message about tracking junk mail and something about a creating a file called "Delivered" and asked whether I wished to see new features!
    Had three mail accounts with in and sent mail + .mac account.
    Now:
    No emails shown in my emails 'Inbox'
    Only emails sent via my iphone (.mac account) shown in 'Sent'. No record of emails sent from this computer from three other email accounts.
    Shows emails sent and received that are saved in a separate folder.
    Preferences now only shows the '.mac' account - No trace of the three others.
    What can I do now? Can anyone help please?

    Ps - I have pretty much resigned to the fact that I have lost all my mail now but I am curious as to how Mail was running these mailboxes when there doesn't seem to have been any cache or anything for them. I don't understand how this was possible.
    And, of course, if I could find this missing folder, maybe I could get all my mail back and that would be great!!!

  • Mail account no longer shows

    I have 7 e-mail accounts thru ATT/Yahoo.
    There all work fine with one minor exception for one mail account.
    The new mail (number of e-mails) does not show up in the left hand side Mailboxes in box (bullet)
    There are listed when I click into the mail box (listings) with the round blue dot for new mail.
    As I stated all the other 6 will snow the round bullet with the number of e-mails
    Any suggestions on how to fix it.
    Greg

    Anyone  ?
    Am I in the wrong section, is there another web site I can go to ?
    Do I need to explain myself better ?
    Thanks,

  • Unread mail count doesn't show in mail app?

    Since the Ios 5 and 5.0.1 the count of my unread emails doesn't show/appear anymore in the mail app on the iPhone? pls help

    I am experiencing the same thing.  It was working and showing the exact count as my OS X Lion Mail.  However, since the 5.0.1 update, it no longer shows anything or even provides push notifications.

  • Secondary e-mail account doesn't work

    I noticed today that my Secondary e-mail account wasn't working. My mobile Me account works. The other account has lost its draft, send, trash icons. When you try to check mail on that account the phone reverts to the home screen. I have synced, restored, deleted the secondary account and created a new one. The messages can be received/sent but not viewed. That account on my mac works great. During the restore process it notifies me that there is a file missing but doesn't say which one.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Create your MobileMe account on your iPhone and turn Contacts and Calendars on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account settings on your iPhone. If you have a MobileMe account and are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, you don't need to sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
    Try syncing iTunes content including the music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps you want transferred/installed on your iPhone, but don't select anything under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    If no problems with this, try selecting the single iPhoto album you want transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If the same error message is provided, this narrows it down to transferring photos only which means there is a problem with what is called the iPod Photo Cache, which can be deleted from iPhoto.

  • Apple mail search doesn't show messages

    I can normally search for sent and received emails by entering a persons email address in the search field with the spyglass icon, since last week I haven't been able to do this even though all messages show up in the inbox and sent folders. Is there a setting that I might have accidentally changed?

    Step 1
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender mdworker -o -k Message Rne Norm -k Sender mds | tail | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message. 
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
    Step 2
    Enter the following command as in Step 1 and post the output:
    mdutil -as 2>&- | pbcopy
    You can then quit Terminal.
    Step 3
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Terminal. In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash reports related to Spotlight. If you don't see that heading, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. A Spotlight crash report has a name beginning in "mds" or "mdworker" and ending in ".crash". Select the most recent such report, if any, from the System and User subcategories and post the entire contents—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs—they're very long and not helpful.
