Imported mailboxes have internal Messages folders and I cannot drag-and-drop to them

I have just been forced to upgrade to a new MB Pro due to liquid damage to my old Macbook Pro. As I am now using Mountain Lion I have had all manner of reconfigure problems with importing the (undamaged) data from my old hard drive.. When I open Mailboxes, there is an internal Messages folder which needs opening in turn.. Some of the Mailboxes have messages in both parts. I also seem to be blocked from drag-and-drop to move mail to my boxes.. I've read all over here but cannot find this mentioned.. Should I re-install a clean version, and if so, how do I retain the last 4 days of emails.. My Sent box is utterly screwed, too

When you see something like this in the sidebar, it means there are other folders within that folder:
The little triangle on the left is the clue.
Click on the traingle and you can see what is inside, Here there is one folder inside:
Now if you want you can drag the second folder and drop it anywhere inside the sidebar:
So that instead of one folder with a triangle to show it contains other folders, I have two separate folders.
You can also go in the other direction, and drop a folder into another one. As many as you want.

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

Iclould says 7GB of emails, but I have only few folders and few files?

I cloud control panel 3.0 says that my emails takes over 7GB but I have only few folders and not so many files visible in both webclient and outlook. How to find the root cause of the problem ? I exprienced webclient crash earlier when deleting/cleaning the trash. Now the trash looks empty.

If you sync it via iTunes to your computer the Camera Roll should be transferred during the sync to your computer.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

I have an apple earpods and I use them for my ipad but when I want to skip a song by tapping the middle button twice it doesn't skip the music so what to do?

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?

Hey okapi22,
Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them. Take a look at the following article:

Thanks,

Import Mailbox Missing Some Messages

Hi,
I am trying to move my local mailboxes in Mail from a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.5 to a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.7. I backed up each mailbox on the old computer using Mailbox > Archive Mailbox within Mail. I then copied those files from the old computer to the new computer. On the new computer, I imported each mailbox using File > Import Mailboxes within Mail.
Unfortunately, several of the mailboxes on the new computer don't have all of the original messages. For example, one mailbox that has about 2000 messages on the old computer now has only about 1500 messages on the new computer.
Can anyone tell me why this happening and how to fix it?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks! This helped, but not fully.
On the old computer, I rebuilt each of the mailboxes that hadn't imported correctly. I then archived those mailboxes, copied to the new computer, and imported in Mail. More of the missing messages are now there, but not all.
For example, one mailbox had 5481 messages on the old computer. When I first moved it to the new computer, it only had 1693 messages. Once I went back and rebuilt, then archived, copied, and imported again, it now has 4129 messages on the new computer. But there are still about 1300 messages missing.
I also tried rebuilding the mailboxes once they had been imported on the new computer, but that didn't change anything.
Is there another use of Rebuild that I'm missing?

Is there a way to have Finder list folders and documents in alphabetical order?

Finder keeps changing the order of folders and documents. Is there a way to have everythning remain in alphabetical order? The way it works now makes it difficult to find a specific folder or doc from a long list.

In the Finder click the list icon and then sort by name. Is this what you mean?

Importing Mailboxes Upon Hard-Drive Wipe and OS Reinstall + .Mac Issues

Hi --
I was wondering if someone could help me out here. My dilemma is this: Long story short, I had to have my hard-drive wiped and have Tiger reinstalled yesterday at an Apple Store. Beforehand, I copied my entire Mail folder over to my external drive. Now, after the reinstall, I've reimported all of the mailboxes, and I'm not happy with the way things are looking. I should note that I used a mac.com POP account, in addition to another POP account, the setup of said account now apparently also having been wiped in the reinstall. Anyway, here's the breakdown:
(1) My entire Inbox is imported, but appearing inside of a grey "INBOX" folder inside of an "Import" folder, on the mailboxes strip. I've tried dragging the entirety of the Inbox contents up to the REAL Inbox (the very top icon) which is where I've always had my Inbox contents, and where I demand they stay!! However, doing the aforementioned copy/move, which seems like a reasonable enough action, leads to the following problem:
(2) It seems as though Apple Mail is now UPLOADING the entirety of my Inbox back to the POP web server, so that if I check my mac.com account via .Mac on the Web, all of these old messages from 2003 are showing up in the hundreds. (a) I do not want Mail uploading any old messages of mine ANYWHERE. Not even to my old account. (b) Because I've got about 40,000 messages in my Inbox, I do not want these going back up onto the server, taking up all of my space.
(3) I would also like the proper "Sent" (paper-airplane) box at the top to contain all of my old sent messages, and not some "Sent Messages" mailbox-folder of the sort in which it has currently dumped all of them during the import.
(4) Just as a lateral question to the above, I'd be very grateful for any tips on Preferences settings or the like that might get me out of the above POP quandaries. It seems as though there are options for "Do Not Store Sent Mail on the Server!" but no preference for "DO NOT REUPLOAD THE ENTIRETY OF MY INBOX TO MY POP ACCOUNT'S ONLINE STORAGE UPON A REIMPORT"!
Anyway, many thanks for any help anyone can provide on these matters!!!
best,
craig keller.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi David.
Thanks for the helpful information. I had an inkling that the .plist Mail file might have been the cause after all of this happened, but had no idea it was necessary before the fact -- which of course is partly-my-fault, partly-the-world's. (As I see it.) So, the .plist file is gone, but my messages still exist, inbox, outbox, and all of the mailboxes.
In the meantime, where I'm at is the following juncture: What can I do to make a boot-up of Mail CEASE uploading the OLD contents of my Inbox onto the online server (and my apologies for the confusion in the IMAP/POP nomenclature, it's all a blur to me), which occurs automatically upon opening Mail -- the program is hanging up, with the "pie-chart" icon appearing to the left of the Inbox, not downloading any mail and so on, as it (silently, secretly, invisibly) uploads my Inbox to my IMAP .Mac webmail Inbox. Of course, this would not be an issue, as I could ostensibly just go on the Web and delete all of this old excess mail, were it not for the fact that I have 250MB of storage free on said .Mac account, and approximately 1.06GB of Inbox mail associated with that account, accumulated over four years of daily use.
I should also note that even if it was a "bad idea" for me to move my messages back to the Inbox, and if it shouldn't be used for archiving purposes, that is -exactly- what I use it for, as it's simply the place where my mail comes in, and traditionally, the online web server deletes mail after X number of days sitting there; that done, it still, nevertheless, exists within my Inbox. Where my mail comes in, that's where I want it to stay. No moves, no folderizing beyond that. The Inbox is the Inbox, and that should be that. (Pull the messages from the server; keep copies on the server for 10 days or whatever, then delete; but let the messages exist, still, on my hard-drive, on my computer.) Sorry if I'm conceiving of this contrary to Apple's dicta, but it's operated exactly the way I've needed it to -- until now. So I'm a bit frustrated; also slightly miffed by the fact that I was told to post on this forum from Apple, rather than getting a human-to-human, real-time interaction on the matter, as that, apparently, costs $49.99 for a 30-day trial.
Anyway, any further help/insight you (or anyone else) might be able to provide on the matter would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!! As I'm sure it is with so many, my mailbox inbox is the core of my life, and I like it to be "just so" -- possibly a foolish idyll on my part, but there you have it.
thanks!
craig.

Importing Wildcard Cert into Messaging Server and Comms Express???

Hi all, does anyone know how I can import a wildcard certificate, private key, & CA cert into Messaging Server 6.3 and Comms Express 6.3?
We have 3 files from DigiCert that I think need to be imported:
1) A wildcard cert from DigiCert
2) The DigiCert CA cert
3) The private key
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Hi, we are upgrading from iMS5.2 to SJMS6.3 later this year but in the mean time i'm trying to work out how to import the wildcard certs, key, etc from DigiCert into our current iMS5.2. I've heard it can be done.
We're currently using a cert from Verisign in our iMS5.2 environment.
