Just installed new OS (mavericks) and lost mail folders. any advice?

I had set up several mail folders. When I installed the new Mavericks OS they all disappeared. Left with Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash and Junk. Is there a way of recovering the lost folders? Some very important info in them.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.
Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

Download the 10.9.3 Combo update and install it. Unplug all peripherals (external drives etc) and exit all apps while it's being installed, reboot afer it completes.

I just installed OS X Mavericks and now I can't get iMovie or iPhoto to accept and install on my 2014 Macbook Air.

I recently installed OS X Mavericks and when I tried to update iMovie and iPhoto, it wouldn't let me becaus it said they were downloaded under a different Apple ID, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall them from scratch, and now it won't even let me accept them. I keep punching in my Apple ID to accept them and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. What do I do?

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
Step 3

from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4

Installed New VGA Card and Lost Audio

(Please forgive my ignorance or stupidity when it comes to any computer knowledge. In 'Layman's Terms', I am what you would call an idiot when it comes to computers, sorry...)
I just installed MSI VGA Card 'MD512D3', 512MB, DDR3 onto my HP Pavillion a1710n desktop computer that is running Windows 7 and after the installation, the first thing that I noticed was the fact that all of my computer's audio had disappeared. I have been trying to trouble shoot the problem through various forums and I have tried pretty much every single solution that had been given to others with the same sort of problem. But then it occurred to me, why don't I uninstall the new VGA card and run the computer without it like I had been doing before. so I did the uninstallation and immediately, the audio drivers appeared in my Windows update and so now I have audio again on my computer. But my question is this, the audio that I was using prior(and here is one of the times that you will need to forgive my ignorance), I believe they were analog. The best way that I could describe them is that they had the connections to the computer that were color coordinated, i.e. "green" "pink" "blue", etc and I was primarily just using the "green" connection for basic stereo sound(nothing fancy). I just happened to look at the box for the new VGA card and it specifies that it has HDMI Output which, if I am not mistaken, is a digital output that requires a completely different connection. Can someone explain to me(in the most BASIC of terms), if this is, in fact, a digital output that requires a different set of speakers for audio or if I am able to use the 'analog' speakers that I currently have? Now, keep in mind that I would LOVE to just go out and purchase the most expensive and up to date audio products but I am limited by my income...thanks in advance for any information that you are able to provide me...Dan

The card supports Audio via HDMI. If you connect it via HDMI to a screen with speakers or speakers connected to the screen which is connected via HMDI the Nvidia HD audio is used. If Scrren has no speakers Nvidia HD audio can't be used. It should then use the soundcard or onboard sound of your board which the spreakers are connected to.

Mozilla just stopped working with Yahoo and yahoo mail properly, any ideas?

For whatever reason yahoo apparently stopped working properly sometime in the last week. When I go to yahoo.com the site loads but I can't move the stories to the left or the right as it just shows the little loading circle going around. I also noticed that trying to log in to yahoo mail is doing the same with the loading circle.
This was not happening a week ago and I have ran virus and malware scanners multiple times to no avail. The only thing I can think of is Java tried to update yesterday and it failed for whatever reason so I just tried updating java manually and it it installed fine.
Any and all help is appreciated, Thanks.

HELP - Lost Mail Folders - Any way to recover?

All of my custom email folders have disappeared. This is tragic, as my last backup was several months ago (yes yes... I know this is my own fault). After reading around online here, I see that the Preferences file can get corrupted if hard drive space is low. I am guessing that this is my problem, since I had Photoshop running at the same time, and only 6gig free on my 80gig drive, and remember a pop-up window appearing in Photoshop saying that my hard drive space was low.
This being the case -- just because a preference file gets deleted/messed-up, does this mean that there is NO way to recover those messages? What happened to those original files of mine that held those messages? I must have had 30 folders, and all of them are zapped from my hard drive? Not in the trash, not in the POP folders in my Library, not anywhere when I do a Find for their name. I just don't understand how they could disappear completely, and isn't there a chance that there is some recoverable data somewhere on my drive??
I also don't understand why my Junk Mail, Sent Mail and InBox mail was NOT deleted. Only the folders that I had created to file my messages. And I didn't have to re-setup my accounts or do anything like that.
Thanks in advance for any advice that anybody might be able to share.
G4 Titanium Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4) Mail 2.0.5

Hi all. I sure appreciate everybody's suggestions and feedback. Even though ultimately things have not worked out for me, I have a renewed faith in the Apple community as a whole -- which counts for something.
I'll try to sum up what happened for me. First, my mail folders/mbox files were nowhere to be found on my computer (either by looking in that specific heirarchy or by doing a Find for their names). Also, I did not delete any accounts at the time of the problem. I DID delete a folder from within Mail that showed up at the top of my Mail list, named "/" and which contained a single folder named "library" (I think?) which contained a single folder named "mail" or something to that effect. Basically, several folders nested within each other, with the bottom folder being caled "INBOX" (written like that) and containing mail that I had not seen before. I selected all, dragged it to my real InBox, and then deleted the top-level folder from Mail's list (named "/"). It was shortly thereafter that I lost all of my mail folders. I've never seen a mailbox folder just add itself to the list like that -- has anybody else? And then combine that with the fact that I was running a huge Photoshop file and had maxed out my hard drive's empty space as PS used it up for memory... So basically it evidently all set up a situation that caused corruption on a huge level, and caused me to lose every custom mailbox that I had defined, but not my InBox, Drafts, Sent Mail or Junk. (Luckily my Junk mail was saved, eh? How lucky for me. ha ha)
With the advice of folks here and at the Apple store and on the phone with data-saving software reps, I tried Disk Utility to first repair permissions and then fix the disk. It did find a few things on both tests, and I did repair them -- but Mail still wouldn't pull up those folders. I also ran TechTool and Data Rescue II on my drive (TAKING HOURS AND HOURS) -- but no luck.
Nobody ever seemed to think I would have much luck, but I had to give it a shot, since losing all of that mail was going to be hard for me.
And so this afternoon, I have come to the conclusion that my situation is hopeless, and I need to get back the use of my Powerbook (I have huge deadlines that I'm really behind on now, because of all of this down-time having software check my drive).
The lesson here, boys and girls, is to not take lightly the significance of hard drive space -- and to not only backup your most important files (like I did)... but to also back up your mail folder regularly... as well as any other quirky little things that might not seem obvious, but which if were eliminated from your life, would make you sad.
So thanks again to all who posted their suggestions -- it was worth my effort to give everything a shot, even though unfortunately there was not a happy ending.

Just installed os x maverick and updated my version of pages now when I try to open a document stored in pages format from old version get message "The Application "pages" can't be opened -1712 What is wrong?

Just updated to new version of pages. Now can not open stored documents created under al pages. Get message "the application pages can' be opened -1712" hat do I do?

Apple released Pages 5.0 to run on Maverics only. They completely rewrote the program for Maverics and 64 bit compatibility. They failed to explain that this version is missing much of the previous version's capability and that it cannot read older Pages files. When they install it they leave the older Pages 4.3 in place because it is the only way to read the older Pages files and upgrade them to a level that can be read by Pages 5!
If you still have Pages 4.3 on your computer it will tell you what to do. If you do not then go into your backups and retrieve it.
Because of the deficiences of Pages 5 I have removed it from my Mac and gone back to working with Pages 4.3. I have also removed Pages 2 from my iPad and found Pages 1.7 in the Time Machinew backups and brought it forward and droped it onto the iTunes icon to restore it and then synced the iPad to get the Pages 1.7 running again - it is compatible with Pages 4.3 on the Mac so all is back to normal for me.
Apple say that they will fix many of the deficiences in Pages 5 in the next six months. I suggest you wait until then and keep an eye on these communities beforte considering the "upgrade".
Incedentaly Pages 5.0 writes files that cannot be read by anything else including Pages 4.3 - better hope no one sends you one! It does not save RTF either - what where they thinking!

Installed new '08 update and lost my '08 files

So, I had played with designing an '06 before iLIfe '08 arrived. I installed '08 and got a few days into creating a new site. Things are going well...
Today, I installed the update which said something about working with '06 stuff. Now, I open iWeb and it is back to my '06 stuff from a couple weeks ago.
(I tried looking at the .sites2 -- found it, opened it and it was the '06 one. I guess this update "fixed" that.)
I really need to get my '08 stuff back help

First make a new folder on your desktop, go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb, copy the domain file and paste it into the new folder. You can put it in your Home folder and call it "iWeb Domain" or something exciting.
If you have an external drive you can back it up there.
You can download Apple's Backup 3 from .Mac and set it up to automatically backup your domain file - or anything else - to your iDisk.
Login to .Mac at ....
http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/login?aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
..... click Backup - just below the calendar in the left column - where you can read all about it and download the application.
You can set it to auto backup at any time interval you want and also backup manually by launching the application every time you make major changes to your website.

Just installed new Mac update and my typing is wrong

It only does this on firefox, I'm using chrome now to post here but..
I installed the update and now when I try to type in firefox, the letters are different. I type apple.com and it brings up my previous visits to apple.com but it shows up as "ettpi2gsq" in my address bar. Anyone else having this issue? I tried to update with firefox but there was none. It was fine before the new mac osx update

I'm having the same problem here. Had my logicboard replaced a couple of weeks ago and it was working honey sweet. Temps were in the 28 ~ 31 range. After the firmware this morning, my temps are at 67 ~69. Obvously there is a way of controlling the temps with the firmware, I hope apple fixes this quickly before I have another logic board fry on me.

When i visit certain websites, firefox closes, no crash notice or anything. i just installed new adboe flash and it started happening.

aaaaa

just got the notification about FF 3.6.8 installed it, reinstalled flash just for paranoia's sake
problem still occurring. please help.

Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data.
