Lost Mail and now wants me to configure a new setup.

All my emails disappeared and now when I start mail it acts like I have to do the initial setup. The same thing has happened to iCal with all my calendars disappearing. My settings for Safari got messed up (stopped using tabs so I had to reset in preferences). What happened to my computer? Did a recent update go wonky?

I just had the same thing. And, all my bookmarks are gone in FireFox.
I had just tried to send an internal email... Mail hung up with the beach ball and so I eventually force quit.
Now, even my desktop picture is gone and other things. I still have 128 gigs of space so it's not a space issue.
Seems like some wacked up user account thing. What updates have occurred recently from Apple that would cause this (as it's happening to more than one person?)

    Hello alltogether! I use PSE 7 on my PC with windows XP and now want to change to a new Mac with the newest version PSE . Is it possible to move all my albums and tags to that new version? Thank you very much for your kind answers! Candyapple111

    1. Install PSE 11 in windows, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup  to a removable drive, like a usb drive, using the organizer's back up command. If you buy the boxed version you get discs for both platforms.
    2. Install PSE on the mac.
    3. Restore the backup to the mac. Point the restore to the .tly file in the folder, not the enclosing folder.

  • I was syncing my ipod touch on a friend's computer and now want to sync to my new mac book, will I lose all my stuff?

    I was syncing my ipod touch on a friend's computer and now want to sync to my new mac book, will I lose all my stuff?

    Not if you do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchased to the new computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Move a copy of the iPod backup file from the old to new computer.  That file is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - After the stuff is moved/transfered, restore the iPod from the backup you just moved to the new computer and sync as necessary.

  • How can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now on iCloud?

    how can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now are
    on iCloud?

    Thanks for the answer, but the external POP accounts I had in my MobileMe are working in my iCloud! I receive all the e-mails that are directed to those POP accounts, in my iCloud e-mail, since I migrated from Mobileme to iCloud. So, iCloud accepts external accounts, but i doesn't allow us to edit new configurations or to send e-mails using Pop Accounts through it. Very weird. Does anybody have a solution?

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • In FF 34.0.5 I use to be able to click on a link within an e-mail and the link would open in a new tab; it now opens in the same tab; how can i change it back?

    I'm using FF 34.0.5 (I like it). I use to be able to right click on a link, within an e-mail, and the link would open in a new tab. Now when I click on the link it opens in the same tab replacing my e-mail.
    Example - a friend sends me an e-mail containing a link to a web site he thinks I'd like. I click on the link and go to the web site and then go back to the e-mail tab and reply to him. Now, when clicking that link, my e-mail disappears and is replaced by the new site.
    How can I fix this? When this happened once before I was told to change the 'value' for a specific 'preference name' through the about:config page.
    Can anyone help jog my memory?
    Thanks!

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

    I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???

    I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
    You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    I have an IMac.   I put a folder on the desk top and now want to delete it.  The folder seems to be locked.  I went into Get Info and attemted to unlock the folder and delete it.  Won't go away.   There is nothing in the folder.   How do I unlock this folder and delete it?   When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder.  Any help would be great.

    If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app.   That will dispose of it.

    If you've wiped the device remotely then it is no longer associated.
    You could also change the password for your Apple ID.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • What is best for me. I have been using Elements for many years (since Elements 2) and now want to but either 13 or Lightroom. Can anyone help me decide

    I have been using Elements for many years (since elements 2) and now want to upgrade. I am reasonably old and at this stage do not understand Creative Cloud. Am I best to upgrade to Elements 13 or try Light room 5?

    Do you want to make a one time purchase (Photoshop Elements) or pay monthly rent ($9.99 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom)
    Do be aware that the subscription model is just like rent... stop paying and the programs stop working... but you get the full Photoshop
