Is there a Shutdown Items folder in Mac OS X 10.6?

I'm running OS X 10.6 on a Mac Pro, and trying to get a back-up program (Synk Professional) to launch at shutdown, copy files which have changed throughout the day and then shut the computer down.
I'm sure I used to be able to do this easily on an iMac running an earlier version of OS X. Whilst I can see the StartupItems folder in the System/Library, there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can drag an alias of my back-up program to in order to get that to launch at the correct time.
Any ideas? Is this still possible?

I've never actually done this, but don't think it will work for the purpose of running a task in a regular app like Synk Pro. Launching Synk Pro - even, I would think, from a logout script - will cancel logout. Of course, if Ham1000 is willing and able, he could probably replace Synk Pro with a call to rsync from a logout script:

How can I view the number of items I have in a folder on Mac 10.9.2 (Mavericks)?

I have only been using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) for a little while so I'm having to deal with many inconveniences that I didn't have to face with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard). It's frustrating that 10.9.2 (Mavericks) doesn't let me tap twice on the trackpad in order move or drag something, but at least I figured out how to do this in a different way. One part that I cannot figure out is how to view the number of files in each folder. With Snow Leopard, I was able to view the number of files on that folder automatically by looking at the bottom of the folder (*See the example on the photo). On the bottom of that folder, you will see the number of items, which it 10. Every time I add new files (or folders within that folder), it will update the number of items to the appropriate number. This is especially useful to me if I'm going to have many items within a folder and when I need to make sure that the number I have is exact. For example, sometimes I have to save files in a precise number and order. If I miss saving a file with a specific number, and I don't catch that the number of items is off as early as possible, I may have to waste time looking through files to try to figure out what is missing. For this reason, I have to find a convenient way to view the number of items in each folder with Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks) or else using it will be a hassle.
Now that I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), I don't see any information on the folder that tells me how many items are in it (*See photo below). I keep looking to see if it's located somewhere else on the folder or if I can change the folder preferences to make it become visible. I also clicked on the folder and on "Get Info" (which would be inconvenient if I had to do this constantly). This showed me the number of items in that folder but I can't always keep checking like this because it's time-consuming and distractive.
I need to find a way to make the number of items appear on the folder itself, while it is open.
Do you know a convenient way to view the number of items in a folder?
Is there some way I can change the preferences so that the number becomes visible on the folder itself?

Open the Finder's View menu and choose 'Show Status Bar'.

Is there a way to get receipts for previously purchased items in the Mac App store?

I just switched computers and did not save all of my receipts from my previously purchased items from the Mac app store. I was wondering if there was any way to retrieve receipts that showed how much I paid and when I bought the items.

Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

How do I get a rid of the error message "Insecure Start-Up Items folder detected because the folder does not have the proper security settings?

I recently upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8, so that I could download iTunes to my new iPhone 5. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I received error message about my Symantec Norton anti-virus security, so I upgraded that to security that's compatible with 10.6.8. Now I receive the error message above, about my Start-Up Items folder. There are currently no items in the folder. How do I get rid of the error message above? Thanks for any help.

GoDaddy exchange account sent emails not appearing in sent folder in Mac Mail

The problem: I set up my business email address (GoDaddy exchange account) as a new email account in Mac Mail. A few days later I noticed that sent emails were no longer appearing in my sent folder for this account.
The solution: there was a conflict with the Gmail account that I also set up in Mac Mail a few days after I set up my business email. I have deleted my gmail account from Mac Mail and so far so good - sent emails are appearing again in the Sent folder in Mac Mail.
Note:
- Emails sent from webmail (Office 365 Outlook) did appear in the Sent folder.
- GoDaddy thought there was a conflict in the name of the Sent folders (called Sent Items in webmail interface), but said it was a problem Apple should solve.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Some sent items missing in Mac Mail

Hi
I have an issue where some of my sent items do not get saved to the Sent Items folder.
The email account in question is a work Exchange Server 2003 one and I have it set up as an IMAP account. I have the correct sent items folder configured so that all my devices (mac at home, iPad and iPhone) all sync perfectly with it. The problem appears to occur, sometimes but not always, in the following circumstances:
When I am connected to the work network via ethernet.
When the email size is quite large.
Bizarrely when I unplug the ethernet and connect to the office network wirelessly there is no issue. There is another mac in the office running on Snow Leopard (I'm Lion) at it has exactly the same issue.
Needless to say this isn't an ideal situation particularly when dealing with work emails. Can someone please help?
Many thanks
Adrian

Sorry no help, but I'm having a similar issue with an IMAP mailbox and this may be related.
I just sent a very important email (no atachments) and watched the progress bar complete as it was sent. I went to re-read it an hour later to find it missing from my sent folder. Now I don't know if it was sent or not.
I reindexed my messages by following step 2 on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907
but that didn't help.
After doing that I checked the same mailbox on another device and it's not in the sent folder which leads me to the conclusion that it hasn't been stored in the sent folder on the server.
Now I'm not sure exactly how it works, but if it wasn't sent shouldn't mail receive that info from the server and inform us, keeping the message as draft?

Currupted "sent items" folder in Outlook 2007 (on Exchange 2007) causing Outlook to crash.

One user here has a problem when clicking on the "sent items" folder. Outlook hangs for 5 secondes and then crashes. If user logs into OWA, she can
access the "sent items" folder no problem. I thought it was a messege in the folder that was corrupted so I asked the user to move the messages to a temp folder from OWA. She did that, the folder is now empty but Outlook still crashes. Tried cache
mode and uncache.
I tried to delete her sent item folder using MFCMAPI (in the hope the it will recreate a new folder) : right click the folder, selected delete folder, check the
option "hard deletion" and I get
Warning:
Code: MAPI_W_PARTIAL_COMPLETION == 0x00040680
Function lpParentFolder->DeleteFolder(
lpItemEID->cb, (LPENTRYID) lpItemEID->lpb, lpProgress ? (ULONG_PTR)m_hWnd : NULL, lpProgress, ulFlags)
File .\MsgStoreDlg.cpp
Line 991
One more test I did: I copied the sent items folder to a pst, moved the pst to my computer and when I try to open the folder from the PST, my Outlook would freeze
and crash. Isn't interesting?
Am I missing something here? Has someone encounter this problem before? Any other idea on how it could be resolved?
This issue started on Exchange 2003. We are now moving to Exchange 2007. I moved her mailbox to the new server in the hope that any mailbox problem will be filtered
and removed. I still have the issue..
env:
Exchange 2007 running on Win2008
PC:
Windows Vista sp1, outlook 2007 (user was getting same issue under Win2k with Outlook 2003)

Couple steps you may apply...
1. Repair the offline file with a Microsoft utility called SCANOST.exe. I’ve seen this file reside in a number of different locations, mainly within Program
Files. It might be best to search for it with Windows or Google Desktop. SCANPST.exe will also work, though you’ll have to go digging for your outlook.ost, which should be near c:\Documents and Settings\ %profile%\ Local Settings\ Application Data\ Microsoft\
Outlook\ outlook.ost. If your file is significant in size, you’ll save a lot of time with the repair operation by not creating a backup. Because if the repair finishes successfully and Outlook still bombs, you’ll need to.
2. Shutdown Outlook completely, including any runaway outlook.exe processes in the task manager. Open Mail in the Control Panel and before you delete your
profile completely, write down the server settings! There’s no need to worry about backing up your mail as it’s stored on the Exchange server. (Essentially, you’re deleting that outlook.ost when you drop your mail profile.) Now, start Outlook and it will create
a new profile, where you’ll configure the server with the information you wrote down previously.

Help please? Outlook 2011 stuck on 'updating message list' after deleting 1000's of emails from my 'deleted items' folder

Hello.
I've been searching online for an answer and can't find one - hopefully someone can help...
I recently updated to Yosemite and decided on a general clear-out, so went through 1000's of documents, photos, emails, etc. I ended up deleting the all of the emails in my 'deleted items' folder. Since then, when I go into Outlook and hit the 'send/receive' tab it logs on as normal, but then gets stuck on 'updating message list' - it shows me that there are emails and how many, but will not download them.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Many thanks!

As Outlook, part of MS Office, is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

How do I remove "Scan with ClamXav" in Lion? I cannot find a contextual menu item folder in at home/library. I installed and removed ClamXav from the Mac app store.
Thanks.

Thanks! AppTrap mentioned in the linked article got rid of it for me.
Actually, it didn't. With Snow Leopard and Lion, the contextual menu is provided by a built in "service" within the ClamXav application itself.
If you downloaded ClamXav from the AppStore, all you need to do is trash it and reboot.
If you downloaded the full version from the web you need to first run the "ClamAV Engine REMOVER" script that comes on the ClamXav_2.x.x.dmg. Then trash the ClamXav application, empty the trash and reboot.
There are also one or two preferences that can be found in ~/Library/Preferences/ that start with "uk.co.markallen.clamxav..." that take up minimal space and don't do anything without the application. AppTrap probably found those.

Using "Deleted Items" folder for long term storage.

I have a user that is using the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook for long-term storage. He has unchecked the box in the options which would remove the items in the Deleted Items folder at shutdown
and is having problems with his Outlook freezing up several times a day. He was using a Microsoft Surface as his primary computer and has since changed to a Dell Latitude, but Outlook still freezes up. He has an Office 365 Pro Plus license.
I have been looking for articles to explain all the reasons for not using "Deleted Items" for storage, but in order to get him to change, This is not a .pst, it is the Outlook default “Deleted Items”.
. I really need some "ammunition" to let him know the consequences of keep that much mail in Deleted Items.
Could you tell me when Outlook starts, does it enumerate the Deleted Items folder as it does the Inbox?

I have to agree with Robert's point here. The question of whether or not the user should be doing this answers itself: of course he shouldn't. On a lighter note there's a Dilbert cartoon from 2003 which covers this very point:
http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2003-11-13/
I'd suggest you ask him to create a sub-folder of his inbox and get him to move everything over, then he still has his history and can use deleted items the way it was intended.
The question I would ask is are you sure that this has any bearing on his Outlook freezing issue? I have encountered people who never empty their recycle bin and I have encountered issues with Outlook freezing, but I don't recall ever having the two together.
If you still have issues after he's moved everything then it's a general Outlook freezing issue, so you have to look at those sort of things. For a start, is it bang up to date with Microsoft Updates? If so how big is his mailbox? Presumably he has an ost
file, so how big and fragmented is that? I'd probably try creating a new Outlook profile. If not then what add-ins does he have, could they all be disabled for a while to see if it's one of them, then add them back one at a time? If not is it worth running
a repair in Office? I've had that fix a fair few issues.
Just a few thoughts. I don't know if any of them will help.

Sent messages aren't saved in the Sent Items folder in Outlook 2013

When we send a message in Outlook 2013, a copy of the message should be saved in the Sent Items folder by default. If Outlook doesn’t save a copy of the sent message, it may be caused by any one of the following
reasons:
The “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”
option in Outlook is disabled.
The save location for sent messages was changed to another folder.
There is a custom view set on Sent Items folder, or the view on
Sent Items is corrupt.
Outlook Data File may be damaged.
To resolve the issue, use the appropriate method for your situation.
Enable the Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder
option
To configure Outlook 2013 to save copies of your sent messages in the Sent Items folder, please follow these steps:
1. Click File tab > Options.
2. Click Mail on the left pane.
3. Scroll to the Save Messages section, select the check box before “Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder”.
4. Click OK.
If it is the replying message that is not saving to the Sent Items folder, we need to disable the “When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder” option in the location mentioned above.
If you’re using an IMAP account, please also make sure you didn’t select the “Do not save copies of sent items” in Account Settings. To check this, Please refer to the following steps:
1. In Outlook, click File tab > Info.
2. Click Account Settings > Account Settings, and then double-click your IMAP account to open the
Change Account wizard.
3. Click More Settings button.
4. Under Sent Items heading, clear the check box before “Do not save copies of sent items”.
5. Click OK and click Next to complete the configuration.
Make sure there is no rule or anything else to redirect sent messages to other folders
To check if it is caused by Outlook rules, please follow these steps:
1. In Outlook 2013, click Home tab.
2. Click Rules > Manage Rules & Alerts.
3. In the rules list, check if there is any rule that applied to the sent messages may cause this issue.
In addition, some rules may be corrupt or hidden and we cannot see them from the rules list. We need to use the MFCMAPI tool to find and delete the corrupt/hidden rules. To do this, we can use the following steps:
1. Download MFCMAPI tool from: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/
2. Start MFCMAPI tool.
3. Click Session menu >
Logon, select the Outlook profile you are using and click OK.
4. Double-click the mailbox that contains the inbox rules that you want to delete.
5. A new window will open. In the new window, expand
Root Container or Root – Mailbox, and then expand
Top of Information Store or IPM_SUBTREE.
6. Right click on Inbox and select
Open associated contents table.
7. In the Inbox window, locate and then right-click the items that have the
IPM.Rule.Message message class, and then click Delete Message.
To identify a specific rule, you’ll have to select the rule in the top pane in MFCMAPI and then scroll down in the lower pane and look at the
Property name(s) column. Find the ptagRuleMsgName property name and check the value against the rule name you were trying to delete in Outlook.
8. In the Delete Item dialog, select
DELETE_HARD_DELETE from the Deletion Style drop-down menu.
9. Click OK.
Reset the view settings on Sent Items folder
If you accidently changed the view settings on Sent Items folder, this may cause some sent messages not visible in the folder. To check if you’ve set any view settings on Sent Items folder, please follow:
1. In Outlook, select Sent Items folder.
2. Click View tab from the Ribbon.
3. Click View Settings button. If you notice the
Reset Current View button is clickable, it means the view settings for Sent Items have been changed before.
4. Click the Reset Current View button and then check the Sent Items folder again.
Scan and repair the Outlook Data File
To repair the .pst file, please follow:
1. Find and start the Inbox Repair Tool in the following path:
For Outlook 2013 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
For Outlook 2013 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
2. In the Inbox Repair tool, click Browse to locate the PST file by using the Windows file system.
3. Click Start.
4. After the analysis scan has completed, it will present you with a scanning report and options for the next step. Click Repair button.
To repair the .ost file, since this type of data file is a copy of information saved on your mail server, we can just delete the OST file and restart Outlook to re-create a new one.
For more information about repair Outlook data files, please refer to this article:

Same problem here, connecting to a Groupwise (not latest) server. Whenever Mail.app 3 tries to upload/save a new messsage to the server, it would not save and completely lose the message!
I found slightly more information by turning off the "Save to server" option for Sent and Drafts, created a new message that I saved as draft, and then tried to manually move items to the Drafts or Sent folder on the IMAP server.
The error I received was: The message <message> could not be moved to the mailbox <mailbox>-<account>. The IMAP command "APPEND" (to <mailbox>) failed with server error: APPEND NotJunk.
To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like the latest version of Mail changed it's default IMAP handling commands that may be incompatible with older IMAP servers. Anyone else have more insight or know how I can get back Mail.app 2.x from Tiger?

I use Microsoft Outlook for email, and every day, dozens and dozens of times per day, a blank white Firefox window pops up and says "There are no items to show in this view."

That’s all it says in the whole window that opens up. There doesn’t seem to be a specific thing I do that makes it happen and it doesn’t happen every single time I have it open, but pretty close. It seems to happen (most of the time) when I click on the “Today” or “Yesterday” (ect) tabs that organize the emails. But again, it doesn’t happen every time I do this – maybe 8 out of 10 times? It also does it when I just open my Outlook screen to look at it before I even do anything, and sometimes it just does it without even touching it. Also, pretty much every time I send an email it opens a couple pages up. It also doesn’t happen just once, it will open sometimes 5 – 10 of the same screen all at once. My IT person at work suggested deleting Firefox to see if it would stop and it didn't, it would just open up a window saying you have no Firefox so download it. I re-installed Firefox and it still does the same thing – mostly – except now it asks if I want to download the file instead of just opening that white Firefox screen. If I click yes it opens the same screen but it will still open sometimes 5 of those asking if I want to download it.

Microsoft published some articles about this error last year. It might not be the only cause, but can you forward it to your IT for consideration?

Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder

I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.
