I want to save my old emails as I've run out of space on my service providers server for my email.
I can't Archive as that takes space alos on the server.
What is the best way to do this and still access/read the old emails on my iMac, 10.8.4?

You can just drag the emails to "On My Mac" which will save them locally. Or you can use a third-party archive utility. If you're using Mail, you might look into MailSteward which will archive all your mail, including attachments, into a database:

I've used it for years and have been quite satisfied with it.

Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

Hi everyone,
I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008. I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference. My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry. I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week. Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range. https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327. But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry. The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
BES 2007
current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off

Entourage error "The server for my email acount returned the error "Login Failed". Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?"

I have 1 user on a Mac who just started having a pop up message when opening entourage "The server for my email acount returned the error "Login Failed".
Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would
you like to try re-entering your password?" I know the settings are right because the users mail works on iPhone,iPad,an windows machine. I have deleted entourage plist and also tried a new user same message appears in new user.

It worked for me.

Why is Mail asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that doesn't exist?

I've migrated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on a new Mac, but in trying to use Mail on ML, it keeps asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that's never existed. The addy has my user name correct, but the server part of the address doesn't exist, or at least I've never used an email address with that provider. On ML there's no plist file for Mail, so nothing to delete there. What else can I do to get Mail working? The only other option I have is to abandon Mail as being crippled and useless, and use Postbox, which for it's price (US$9.95) is an attractive option. OTOH, I've paid for Mail after all, so it really ought to work. Any clues as to what I can do to stop its nonsensical behaviour? How do I file a bug report?
TIA.

Old xserve running out of space.

Our roughly two and a half year old 2x2 Ghz DualCore intel xenon xserve came with 3 x 750 GB disks.
Two of them are mirrored, for system and files, and the third contains retrospect backup. It was the largest disks available when we got the server.
We are running out of space, and need to do something with the matter in the near future.
I am wondering if newer and larger disks are compatible with the server ( 1TB ore larger ), or should we go for an external "box" of some kind.
Any advices? We have limited resources at the moment.
Kind regards
hoa

I'd look to go external via SAS or SATA interconnect if feasible and if you've got the requisite PCI-X or PCIe slot open; per the [Xserve disk support document (HT1219)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219], you're not going to get a big boost replacing the internal drive modules (ADMs) from 750 GB to 1 TB.
I'd probably toss the "other" stuff onto an external (hardware RAID) disk array (disk shelf), and leave the system pieces in the box.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files

Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files old apps?
i have done the browser cache and cleared history.I am clearing items off the macbook pro but is there other areas i should clean
Thanks

Im running out of space, how do I clear old content temp files old apps?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Temp files get automatically deleted when you restart. Old apps you can either uninstall (if it was originally installed with an installer, there should be an uninstaller somewhere) or drag it to the trash. What's "old content"?
i have done the browser cache and cleared history.
This is not going to give you back much space.

I have a new (mid) 2011 imac and want to transfer my old records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for a new mac that would have compatible software for ripping to itunes?

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
Success, Jean

Is it safe to assume that once you've used a backup of an old phone to restore a new one that you can delete the old backup? I am running out of "cloud" space and want to free up space

I purchased an additional 20gb of storage and I am getting a message that I am out of space on the cloud to backup my Iphone or my iPad. When I checked my settings it seems like it's because my old iPhone backup is still being stored. Since I used my old lphone4 backup to load my new iPhone5s would it be safe to say that I can delete that backup now since all the info that was on that phone has been transferred to my iPhone5s. This way I can free up storage in my icloud (instead of buying additional storage?)

Hi Mcchen425,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud. Then you can delete one of your two backups. The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.

Changing Service Providers and will lose email -- help!

Hello,
I'm switching service providers and cannot take my email address with me. 2 Questions:
1. If I stop synching with my current provider, will NO email show up in my email box for that account, or will it save the current emails.
2. How do I extract the email addresses/address book so that I can send a mass email to my contacts that i'm changing my email address?
Thank you!!
Kevin

1. If I stop synching with my current provider, will NO email show up in my email box for that account, or will it save the current emails.
Generally speaking, witnin 30 days this will be so.
2. How do I extract the email addresses/address book so that I can send a mass email to my contacts that I'm changing my email address?
Those should remain in AB, as all eMails should depending on account type... is this old one POP or IMAP?

If I have a backup on iCloud from my old phone in my new phone will it delete my old information? I'm running out of GB and i'm not sure if I should delete it or not. Please help!

I had an old iphone 4s that was backed up on icloud. When I got a new iphone 4s, the back up from my old iphone and new iphone stayed. Now i'm running out of GB and my iphone hasnt been backed up in weeks. If I delete the backup from my old iphone on my new iphone to clear space, will it delete the information I had in my old iphone, which is now in my new iphone? help!!! thanks.

if you go to 'settings - iCloud - storage and backup' and remove an old backup, it won't do anything to the current settings/information on your phone, it will only remove the backup.

I use to close Firefox and it would ask me if I want to save those selections. Now It wipes them out and I want Firefox to open back up with what i closed it on.

Fire fox use to remember the pages I had up when I closed it. Now it just opens with my home page/

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Have 17 in MB Pro 8GB, I7 processor. My 500 GB HDD is running out of space, want to replace it with a SSD 1 TB, Can I do it, and what drive should I use?

Computer is prob. 5 yrs old, still runs great, works well with Yosemite, just HDD if full, tried cleaning it up, but only get about 8 GB left. Want to change out for a SSD 1 TB or 960 , leaning toward Crucial drive, can I do this and replace my old drive. Do not really want to give up my DVD slot to a HDD, would rather just replace the current Hard drive with a SSD? Any thoughts, can I do this myself. I have computer connected to time capsule and could use that to reinstall onto new SSD??

Yes. Any 2.5" notebook sized SSD can be used. If your Time Capsule has a full system backup, then you can restore from it. You could put your old HDD into an external enclosure and boot from it. Then clone the HDD to the newly install SSD after formatting it.

I want to save my old emails as I've run out of space on my service providers server for my email.
