.mac mail question:I have an old emac without an intel chip...I have a .mac email account, I would like to be able to have my emails automatically forwarded to a gmail account. I cannot access icloud with this old machine, any ideas? thanks! and aloha!

Hello,
But you can setup iCloud email on you old Mac!
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

How do I load music from my ipod to itunes on my new mac, I do not have my old mac?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Will Mac X 10.3 work on old Emac?

I have a an old emac with Mac OS X 10.2.8
However, i need to put 10.3 or higher on and just wondered whether it would work?
Emac
1Ghz PowerPC G4
Memory 512 MB Ram
Hard Drive currently have 60G left
Will it work?

Short answer: yes.
If you're upgrading, might as well do to 10.4 since that eill be supported longer than 10.3. You'll need the retail (black label) Tiger Install DVD (assuming you have at combo or superdrive, internal or external). Model-specific (grey label) OS X Install discs may not include to full set of drivers needed for a particular computer and can cause strange problems. 512MB RAM will run either 10.3 or 10.4 although you may want to upgrade to 640 MB or more (your model will take up to 1 GB) using Crucial as a reference and eMac - Do-It-Yourself for RAM installation instructions.
There's a handy upgrading checklist at Gulliver - OS X System maintenance. After upgrading, you'll likely need the OS X Update Combo 10.4.9 (PPC) and to use Software Update to gather various security and application updates.
One thing to be aware of: some of the 10.4 upgrades may boot the computer twice after installing. That is, you run the update, it finished the 'optimizing system' stage, restarts, you get to the grey screen / white Apple logo, and then the computer restarts again. This is normal. Also, the first startup after an OS update can take significantly longer than usual; don't interrupt the computer by trying to cycle the power or turn it off at this point! Subsequent updates will be faster than usual.
Don't forget to update any third-party utilities you have, especially anythin that adds on to the menubar or that's a disk utility program of any kind (see e.g. Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes).
The bump from 10.2.8 to 10.4.x will give you a pronouncedly more responsive feeling computer. It's well worth the effort!

Mac Mail question - [Bulk]

Why do some of my emails come in as [Bulk] mail? They are from someone I know, and not from a website or company.

Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

So
I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.
Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring
specifically which account to use.
This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.
Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

Can i delete .mac account in mac mail now i have icloud set up?

I've just upgraded to icloud. now my mac mail has my .mac email and my icloud email. both are exactly the same.
Is it safe for me to delete the .mac account from my list of accounts (in preferences) in mac mail now, as icloud is listed as an account?
I would think i'm just getting everything twice, but nervous to delete the .mac one, incase that is what icloud is mimicking?
thanks

My only conclusion is that .mac is mapped to the email server for iCloud. I would say that you can remove the .mac account from your email app, since the iCloud account has all the old email. Since this is an IMAP account, even deleting the iCloud account from the ipad won't hurt, since you can redefine it and all your email will still be available. My only reason for suggesting the test, above, was to see how the old .mac account was handled (totally removed or just referencing the iCloud server). I suspect the .mac account will eventually be totally removed.

Unable to send or receive emails! When I first bought my Macbook I never paid for the mac mail. I have tried to find Mobile Me to no avail. What software program do I need to send emails??

Hi all! I bought my macbook pro around two years ago. I currently have the Snow Leopard operating system. I have just clicked on Lion to upgrade however I am aware that the Mac Mail required you to pay for it? I click on the mail link and it does not work i.e. the send button is greyed out. Please advise?

You don't need to pay anything extra for Apple Mail. You may need to pay extra money to Yahoo and/or Hotmail if you want to connect to them with a true e-mail client like Apple Mail. I would provide links for more information, but it appears to be not quite supported. I think it is a service for mobile applications that people on computers can connect to if they hack around a bit. Your ability to connect with Apple Mail depends on how much you want to hack around.
The easiest solution would be to wait a few weeks until Apple rolls out iCloud. Then you will be able to sign up for that instead of the defunct MobileMe.

I have an old emac I want to use and have forgotten the master password. Is there anyway to reset it?

How to reset master password for an OLD emac.

Thanks. I wish I had that info earlier. Unfortunately I got a set of OS emac installation disks and tried to install and start over which basically erased everything. There were 16 disks and when I got to disk twelve it "failed" and asked to try again. I went through the whole process again and same message again.
Now I am stuck with the installer which wants me to install disc 2 to continue installation. It won't let me do anything else.
I know there must be a way to erase and start over but I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas?

Unable to upgrade my 3 year-old MacBook Pro (w/ Intel chip) 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard using installation disk. Why is this so difficult?

I have a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8 and cannot seem to upgrade to Snow Leopard using my Snow Leopard disk. My MacBook Pro has an Intel chip. Why is this so complicated and how am I supposed to install Snow Leopard if I can't do it via disk??

It may interest you to know that if you want to upgrade to Lion, the only additional cost will be $29 - one price for all the computers using your Apple ID. You must upgrade to Snow Leopard first.
Something else to keep in mind - your MacBook Pros may also meet Mountain Lions's requirements:
Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
from http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/16/os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-system-requirements/

Reading messages on iphone causing Mac Mail App to have blank from, to, etc

So this is a weird one and I haven't found it covered so I'm at my wits end.
Not sure exactly when - but somewhere after installing Leopard I get the following behavior:
If I retrieve mail with mail.app first normally I get proper headers displayed in the message list window.
If I READ the email on my iPhone let alone respond to it, etc. and then go back to my mail.app all emails I chose to read, reply to, etc. have blank from, to, and subject lines in the message list window. They appear ok in the message window but not the message list window.
If I choose to reply to (or forward) any message that has these blanks the resulting email message to edit is missing subject line, to line, etc.
I'm running an IMAP account.

Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client such as the Mail.app on your Mac for U.S. residents.
Yahoo provides a free Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers which can be accessed with the iPhone's email client but with no others on another computer or device.
You can get a free AOL account which can be accessed as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's email client.
There arent too many free IMAP accounts available and you usually get what you pay for.

Mac Mail question.

Hi, I am not sure this belongs in this discussion, if not I apologize for the incorrect post
I was wondering if anyone knows of an app or plugin type of program that will display the number of unread emails in teh dock/toolbar as outlook for windows does? It gets to be a pain always having to move my mouse down to the dock for the icons to pop up and to see if there is a little red circle in the mail icon that tells me how many messages I have to read. I also liked the quick notifier feature that outlook offers, I am using Herald 1.3.2, which is nice notifier and has plenty of custom features.
but the one thing that would be really nice is to always have that little reminder in the dock (or toolbar like windows offers) that tells you how many unread emails you have waiting for you. I could leave the dock up and not have it slide down, but I dont want to give up that screen space for that simple notification.
thanks for any information.. I hope that question makes sense and there is something out there, or maybe there is a setting I have missed in mail.app.
Chris

Try moving the dock to the right side of the screen, and make it small-ish. You won't miss the screen space over there very much, most likely, and then the badge will remain visible. If that's not a satisfactory solution, I'm sure there's a third-party solution for showing your unread mail count, but I don't know what that might be.

Mac Mail missing all of my old e-mails on the server - Help!

Hi,
I recently got a Macbook Air about a month ago and all of my old e-mails on my server were there (I have over 2,000.)
My HD became too full and crashed - I Just got it back today (all of my data is on my external hard drive.) I just tried to setup my e-mail again and all of my old e-mails are missing ..... it only imported by 600 e-mails from January 2nd - thru today..
Where are all of my e-mails? Why aren't they importing? Help! I have very important content and they are still on the server....but not importing.
Thank You!

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

Compare Entourage v Mac Mail Question

In MS Entourage's address book, you can assign a category to a name and color code it. Then names appear in their assigned color you can sort by category. This gives me a fast way to pick out or sort specific groups.
I've been using Entourage and would like to switch to mail, but this feature in Entourage is very important to the way I work and keep track of groups.
Color coding also appears in the message list in mail. I can the quickly see if a rule has not worked or if it inadvertently placed the message in the wrong mailbox.
Am I overlooking something in Mail that will let me do the same or similar action.

Hi Robin,
That's the way it is on y 10.5.8 Mac, only boxes in the "On My Mac" section are ones I created that don't exist elsewhere.

Really simple Mac Mail question about the Delete button

When at a message, the Edit menu shows Command+Delete as being the proper keystroke for deleting a message.
Just pressing Delete also removes it from the Inbox.
What is different between that and Command+Delete?
Thanks,
doug

Hi,
I don't have a very good answer to you other than the fact that the Macbook does not have a proper DELETE-button. You delete by pressing cmd/backspace.
If you want to delete something through Finder you have to press cmd/backspace. In orher programs, like Mail, you can delete by pressing only backspace. In iPhoto you can delete pictures by presing backspace and conform with return.
The reason for these different solutins are not known to me...
Nils

Possibly ignorant question I have an old

I have Fall-2009 iMac as my primary computer. I also have a B&W G3 (Yosemite). The latter supports some software and peripherals the iMac does not. So I would like to run the G3 now and then.
I can obviously do so using a separate display. But it would be convenient to use the G3 via the iMac using something like OS X screen sharing.
Is ARD the right tool? If not, what would be?
Assuming ARD is the right tool, would I need copies on both the iMac and the G3? do compatible versions of ARD exist for OSX 10.6.4 and OS 8.6 or 9.X?
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Thank you very much. It sounds like I need to install the OS 9 version of the vine server on my G3, then connect to the G3 using the "native" VNC screen sharing application on my iMac. Quite simple (sounding). I will give it a try.
