I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

Hello all,
Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

I know this is the wrong forum, but- (Mac question)

I know this is the wrong forum, but…
Can anyone enlighten me?
How did a folder named just "Adobe", containing only something called "Acrobat.com.app"), end up in my root Applications folder?
Double clicking on "Acrobat.com.app" launches an installer that wants to install something called "AIR". What is that and what is it needed for?
What forum should I be posting this in?
A global search and searches in the Acrobat Macintosh forum were not helpful.
Can I just delete that Adobe folder or ignore it? It has identical Creation and Modified dates of January 15, 2010 17:56, which raises more questions than it answers.
Any input will be appreciated.

P.S. what I wrote above is about the Windows version; I assume that the Mac versions are the same.
Maybe… kinda, sorta… There are no ".exe" files in the Mac world.
I've never downloaded or installed either Acrobat.com or Adobe AIR. It has to have been the Acrobat Reader 9.3 update for the Mac that installed that sucker on my Mac. I had certainly never seen it before.
That, on top of the inexcusable, abominably surreptitious "Growl" installed by Adobe behind my back, strengthens my resolve not to acquire any more Adobe products, free or otherwise.
What in blazes are the Adobe corporate folks thinking?

I accidentally moved 9000 pics to my desktop. How do I delete them when it won't stop loading them? I tried force quit, but there isn't one for desktop. It locks up so I can't select them to delete them. And I don't have backups! Help!!

I was trying to restore pics from the trash bin & accidentally sent them all to the desktop. Now when I turn my computer on it freezes or won't do anything other than load all these pics to the desktop. Of course I haven't done a time machine ever, so I can't restore it to an earlier time. All I want to do is delete them from my desktop. It's so bogged down I can't do anything. Please tell me there is a solution that won't wipe out my pics or cost me a fortune.

When you say freeze, how long for? The Finder may just be temporarily bogged down and unresponsive. If I had the time and I was you I'd just leave it overnight to see how things go.
If not you may have to boot in via the CLI and do things from there. This is something I can't help with though I'm sure someone will chime in with some info.

I have totally forgotten my answers for the security and when i try to reset them by using the tutorial it says there should be a reset button at the bottom but there isn't one, please help

I am trying to but something on the appstore but since i had forgotten the answers to my security questions i am not able to do so.
I have tried resetting the questions by using tutorials but it says there should be a reset option at the bottom but there isn't one, what do I do?

Per the following, if there is no link to send a reset email then you need to contact Apple Support: If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions

well PhillyPhan, I can't tell that you're better looking just by your iphoto icon, now can I? Although it is a lovely sunset you've got there.
Thanks for your response to my question, I see your point and will do that, however, I have another folder that was created before I had a Mac, which has all sorts of lovely titles and labels and some of those pictures I brought over to my ibook when I first started. So there are some duplicates in my iphoto library that I already have backed up in that other folder. I guess I shouldn't really obsess about those. I guess I am just nervous about deleting all my prior iphoto library, but I should have faith that it will all be there in my pictures library. Just trying to clean up the virtual mess.
I'll hold my breath and take the plunge.
Thanks!

How do I put timecode on the storyline. In FCP 7 there was a time code reader that read the actual TC on the source material. There isn't one in FCP 10.1...Any recommendations???

TC has not been lost...skimmer shows source TC.
Nanoflash external recorder via SDI on a Sony PMW-EX3.
Ok so Compressor will show source TC on an individual clip, good I didn't know this and it will be helpful.
My scenario. I build a timeline with a whole days shooting involving many different clips and build a Sequence from that-editing out the off camera questions/mistakes etc. In the past I would export with source TC with a Timecode Reader filter applied. Now, it is a TC Generator filter that is available that starts from 00:00.
1. Possible solution, forget the source TC since I have a timeline built with (counter) TC on it and send that to client or get Apple to add it in the future.
2. Apply TC Generator on a clip by clip basis and manually change the TC to match source material. Probably too, much effort though.

You need 8 characters or more to connect.

Not Sure if this is the right forum but took a chance

I need to know the following information about the 3D tools used in photoshop.
How can it be used? What are the tools used for?
I need an example of how it can be used.
Where can the tool be found specifically,
I am taking a class and this is one tool I haven't a clue what it is or where it is. Please email me at [email protected]
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I am assuming you have Photoshop CS3, CS4, or CS5. If so, the 3D tools are only available in the Extended version of Photoshop.
Here is a link for the Photoshop forums. Select the forum that supports your OS. If you ask on the Photoshop forum, be sure to say which version of Photoshop extended you have as the 3D tools have been updated each year.

I personally would not be a best one to give you the workflow as I have 3D applications that are designed to do this type of thing. I can ,however, pass along a tip that I figured out while working on a contest using a trial of CS5 Extended. (Make a folder and put the 3D object and the texture files in it together. If you don't put the texture files in with the 3D model, the texture doesn't come into Photoshop applied.)
Adobe help document and how to access 3D tools...
If you have CS5, look for a header that says 3D in your menu bar. There you will find the 3D options. 3D tool icons also appear in the tool box.
CS5 Help:

If you have CS3 or CS4, there isn't a menu item. You have to open a 3D object file. 3D tools only appear if a 3D object layer is selected in the layer's palette.

Windows 8 VAIO laptop - MS support insists on a product key but there isn't one

I have a VAIO SVE17125CDB that has behaved wonky since I first got it so I decided to do a system reset. Before doing the reset I upgraded the computer's BIOS (often a good idea in a situation like this). The problem is that now I need to redo the Windows' activation. Microsoft support claims that upgrading the BIOS is what caused this. They say this is quite normal and all they need is the product key. They (two levels of MS support) insist that the product key MUST be on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. It is not. Without the product key they refuse to activate my PC. Sony support says I don't need the product key with Windows 8. So now I have a useless laptop. I think Sony and MS need to talk to each other.

Centrant,
I am sorry for any mixed information or if this difers from what you've been previously told, but there is no sticker with a Windows product key on the bottom of the VAIO notebook and this is completely normal.
If someone at Microsoft told you differently, they are completely incorrect. The Product key is embedded into the motherboard of the notebook and you should not have to enter the product key when you install Windows 8 (if everything is working properly). Windows should have visibility and be capable of using this key automatically.
If Microsoft repeatedly refuses to assist you beacuse there is no sticker on the Notebook, please obtain the Microsoft Agent's name, Agent ID, and a reference number to your phone call with them and I will provide feedback to Microsoft.
Updating the BIOS does not affect your Windows 8 Product key. However, changing hardware inside the notebook can. Have you undergone any repair or any parts replacement on this notebook at all? Please let me know as this is very important.
Without additional information it is hard to tell, but it is possible that something went wrong when you performed the system Reset. I would suggest instead performing a Factory Recovery with Sony Recovery Discs to ensure that the software is installed properly to Sony specifications. Is this something you would be willing to try? Did you create recovery discs initially when you first got the computer? If not you can purchase them from Sony Parts.
If you are installing your own copy of Windows 8 and not the copy with the Sony Recovery Discs, then you should still not need to enter the product key because it is embedded into the notebook.

WiFi says I need a password but there isn't one when I connect with my phone

The title says it all. I'm trying to connect to McDonald's public WiFi and when I connect with my phone, it works normally, but when I try to connect with my Mac, it says that either the connection has timed out or I entered the wrong password.
I'm running OS X 10.7.4 Lion.

I've never actually managed to connect to the network, it automatically disconnected and reconnected to my usual one.

I definitely have put this under the wrong catergory but i don't care, I was wondering why everytime i click on a video to play it says: Windows media player has stopped working

Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!

Hi juderocks14,
Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows Media Player:
Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
More reference:
What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

Not sure if this is the correct forum but...

i'm wondering if i am able to sync a blackberry to my macbook without to much fuss?

In August I bought Macbook. I tried using Pocketmac with my BlackBerry Curve 8330 but I had all kinds of trouble. After many many hours working with their tech support, I could never get it working.
So I bought Missing Sync for BlackBerry. It works great! It doesn't due wireless syncing with Bluetooth though (neither does Pocketmac).
I can use my BlackBerry as a Bluetooth modem for connecting to the Internet.

I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!
