I thought I was archiving my mail, but.....
Folks,
In preparation to buy a new MAC, Mr. Smartypants copied his mailboxes (Home>Library>Mail>Mailboxes) into a separate folder, then deleted them from my various active mailboxes in MacMail, which I kept. I have subsequently gotten the new MAC, and have new mail in those old empty boxes.
Now I would like to open the archived mailboxes and drag the old mail back into them olde boxes (now that I have a cool 2GB of room in each one with Tiger). I would like to be able to do it without running the risk of losing the newer mail.
I tried renaming the mailboxes and dragging them via Home>Library>Mail>Mailboxes. They appear, but are empty. I know the data is there, because of the MG count, but I sure can't access it. I was toying with the idea of creating a new account and trying to open them that way. Then I realized I was out of sensible ideas, and so here I am, on my digital knees, pleading with my virtual clasped hands for some help.
Thanks,

Try rebuilding the mailboxes - (it's a menu item under the mailbox menu). That might do it. good luck!

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.
Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

I accidentally erased my keychain passwords, how can I replace it? ( I was in the keychains folder on the password link when i pressed delete). I thought I was deleting one account but it deleted everything. I now keep getting pop-ups asking me for a keychain password...which I don't remember ever creating.
Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

Thought it was Prox Sensor issue, but now I dont think it is
I thought I was having intermittant issues with the proximity sensor...every now and then I would mute someone or start dialing random numbers while on a call. Today while I was on a call it happend again, but I now am pretty sure I know what trigers it...at least for me. While on the call I got the chime that I had a new e-mail and then I started dialing random numbers and muted the call...I havent had a chance to experiment any more today, but does a new email or text notification "wake-up" the screen while in a call? If thats the case..hey apple..disable that!
I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?
It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and the movie stopped playing, I thought it was because of a low battery but even after charging the battery to 100% it still won't play. I can bring up the movie & all the chapters but when I press play it says movie content can not be played. Please advise. Thanks!
I am having almost the same problem, with the same OS, iTunes versions, and kids waiting to watch their favorite movie (Frozen). I am (trying) to play the content on the computer, and hooked up to Vizio TV and external stereo.
The video will display on the TV, but the audio will only play through the laptop. The movie will still play with both audio and video on the laptop.
In researching this morning, it seems that i need to purchase a new TV and stereo that are HDCP "compliant" (NOT just compatible). Folks are also complaining that the same "won't play" issues directly on Mac hardware.
I could not find any current software workarounds or patches (Apple seems silent on this as a "problem").
Upgrading hardware is insulting and (frankly) impossible. Why should I get new hardware that works perfectly well?
I was going to get an Apple TV for Christmas, although not if new products cannot be used with my current hardware. I would rather go back to all Microsoft hardware and software than constantly deal with troubleshooting Apple hardware and software.
I'm going to uninstall iTunes v 12 and reinstall v 11 to see if that works.
Please post if there is a solution! -
Thanks.
re: "So, I am now thinking: Volume does not equal Speaker sound, but something else. What would that be?"
Dathan,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
I see that Peggy, in the "Feedback About Discussions" forum has directed you here. I and others will be glad to try to sort out your problem if we can.
I might be confused by your post but did you try to repair (Volume Macintosh HD) via your install cd or from the HD disk utility or are you asking what is meant by repairing the Volume Macintosh HD? Was this a message you received from the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) cd? It sounds as if you might be asking how to run the Repair Disk function from the Disk Utility and this will need to be done from your install CD.
If so, you will insert the install cd #1 while holding down the "c" key when restarting (release the "c" when you come to the installer spash screen) you will come to the desktop with the install splash screen. IGNORE this and go directly to your top menus>Installer Menu>Disk Utility and when disk utility opens select your Macintosh HD and then Repair Disk. No need to run the Verify Disk function. Run this a few time if it finds errors that it cannot repair and then post back if it cannot repair them and make note of what it cannot repair.

IBook (Late 2004)- Thought it was a disk problem but now out of my depth?
Hi all,
This a really strange one.
I'll give you as much to go on as poss... Long post alert!!
(I'm wondering if I perhaps have more than one problem..?)
I have an iBook G4 (Late 2004) here, 1.2 Ghz, with an 80GB factory installed HD. RAM maxed out, but unaltered for 4 years. No new software or other recent changes.
It started acting wonky, freezing, crashing etc, so ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. Closed itself down halfway through, then wouldn't boot at all, just showed flashing question mark.
In Target Disk Mode, Disk Utility showed "*Underlying task reported failure*" and Disk Warrior couldn't replace directory "*due to Mac OS X services failure*".
(Did show me red than I've ever seen on using DW before though!)
Tried to boot from install CD but wouldn't start up. The only CD it will boot from is Apple Hardware Test, which showed "*Error Detected*" for Mass Storage.
OK, I thought, the disk is 4 years old, time to get the screwdrivers out.
Using the ifixit instructions and Spudnuty's helpful suggestions (+BTW, thanks!+), successfully changed it for a WD 250GB Scorpio disk (£90, MicroAnvika), and then using Target Disk mode again, initialized it and used Carbon Copy Cloner to restore my last full clone (6 months old though... I know, I know!).
Restarted in 'standalone mode', repaired disk permissions (SMART showing Verified), all seemed to be functioning OK, then tried to start up from Disk Warrior to double check.
Now all attempts to start up from DW or Install CDs result in Kernel Panics or blank grey screens, although Apple Hardware Test still runs and shows
*ERROR CODE: 2STF/8/3: ATA-100 ata-6-Master ERROR CODE*
In Target Disk Mode, both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior are making the same reports as before the Hard Disk exchange.
So I pulled the 1GB of RAM (Crucial) which has been in there for 4 years, and also took off the battery, and hey it started up ok!!
Ran Disk utility- SMART status Verified, but repair permission "*lost its connection with Macintosh HD*" halfway through. At second attempt, it repaired ok.
Tried to start from CD again, several attempts result only in booting to-
" *Invalid Memory Access at %SRR0: 72b82dc0 %SRR1:40003030*
*Apple PowerBook 6,5 4.8.7f1 Boot ROM Built on 09/23/04* " etc etc
*Welcome to Open Firmware*" etc etc, where entering "shut-down" hangs and "mac-boot" flips me the Flashing Question Mark again.
I've tried resetting PRAM (several tries no changes), tried starting up in Single User mode, Safe Mode etc etc... makes no difference.
So here's the question-
Is it possible that the ATA bus is to blame? (What's the fix?) Or suddenly bad RAM?
What else can I do before I concur with the service manual that the logic board needs replacing?
I'm loath to give up on it, it's been a good friend for years! (On the other hand, I can't justify spending too much on it either...)
Any ideas? (and sorry, brevity apparently not my forte!)
Andy.

They are nice machines, and if you can have it repaired, there is no harm in trying to be environmentally friendly by making it useful again. Updating to new software may be more trouble than it is worth depending on how old the software you currently have installed, and your finances for new software. Or getting a working used or refurbished Mac might be another option. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html

Yesterday I tried ordering from walmart.com and selected and edited my order with ease. When I clicked on "Check out now and Place Order" I was re=cycled back to the same order page and could not finish my order. I then tried with Safari and completed my order with no problems. This has happened on other websites occasionally, and I need to know if it is something in Firefox or my Add-ons that I need to adjust to keep this from happening. Thank you for any assistance, I am an old grandpa with much appreciation for, but with little savvy of, the computer world.sir,
i feel very much proud to get ur post

First,uninstall ur firefox.

my ipod will move a little bit but not where i want it too......ive tried everything but it wont do anything like i cant even touch the screen and i didnt do anything to it !!!i was just playing a game and all of a sudden it froze and all i could do was touch my home screen button ...please help mee im very upset
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
I bought a macbook pro 3 months ago.
When i installed games such as (Command and Conquer: Generals shockwave and Age of empires 3) the game crashed in the middle of games.
Every time it crashed my fans were going at around 4000 rpm but decreased quickly.
My mac always asked whether i wanted to reopen it.
Please help.
Thank youHi,
Usually, when my vintage (as in, bought in 2006) MBP did that, it was because it was overheating, as you suspect. Now, you've got yourself a brand-new machine, and I'm sure there are many posts in this forum related to that issue.
There's one thing you can do (this one is two-fold, actually), and one you can't:
1) Starting with the good news, you can install a prefpane called Fan Control (free, here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23137/fan-control), that will let you control base speed and temp threshold for your fans (the ones on your Mac, I mean...); additionally, you can also install a widget called iStat Pro (free, here: http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/), that you can invoke through Dashboard after freezing your game, so that it lets you know the current temperature your Mac is operating under.
2) Now, for the (semi-) bad news: given your MBP probably has an "i-something" processor, you won't be able to install this Scandinavian gem that's called CoolBook, that lets you undervolt your logic board so as to prevent overheating. CoolBook currently doesn't support i-3 to i-7 processors because they don't rely on the same SMB sensors as the older Intel processors Apple installed in its machines prior to the current generation of MacBooks, MBP, MBA and the like. I said semi-bad news, because undervolting has obvious effects on your machine's response when under strain; if you are using processor- or memory-intensive applications, they might (scratch that, they will) be slowed down by an undervolted logic board. Video games being one.

firefox keeps crashing. I uninstalled and reinstalled and took off add ons which I thought were the problem. It is still crashing.
Perform the suggestions mentioned below:
1) Restart your Windows in Safe Mode as described in the following article:
* http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true
2) Uninstall Firefox as described in this article -> [[Uninstalling Firefox]]
* Restart your system
3) Download latest Firefox version from the following link using some other Web Browser:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
4) Install Firefox 12 as described in this article -> [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
* DON'T START FIREFOX YET
5) Create a New Firefox Profile as described in the following article:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile|Basic Troubleshooting - Make a New Profile]]
* Now start Firefox using this newly created profile.
Check and tell if its working.
-> IF that New Profile works then you can recover your History, Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.
