Mac mini email is disabled, looking to Enable mail again

Mac mini email icon had transparent question mark over it. I clicked it and got no response. Looked around at 'help' topics, they said to drag icon into 'applications' folder, did that, icon disappeared in a puff of smoke. Called apple, they said it is Disabled somehow, to reinstall with original disk.
Can't find disk, so I am searching for a way to (re) enable the email system. Found squirrel mail site but no helpful info there.
Anyone had this problem berfore Or has ideas for a fix?
Thank You Very Much!
Eileen/Eric

In your Applications folder you cannot find the Mail app?
If not, then manually download and install the 10.5.8 Update Combo and it should install the Mail app.

Is there a reason that you have not updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard? It is only US$29 for the Snow Leopard retail disk.

I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

If you are using an HDMI connection, go to Apple / System Preferences / Sound and see if you can select the Built-In Speakers?
If you have headphones, buds or something plugged into the Audio Output jack, unplug it.
If not then perhaps the micro switch inside the Audio Output jack is stuck? In that case, try plugging and unplugging some headphones, buds or something in and out a few times to see if it will un-stick.
If it will not un-stick, then you will need to make an appointment for service.

Mac Mini Email Server Help!!!!

I recently bought a mac mini to use in my office. I want to setup a email server so that all of the office email's go through the mac mini and then to the isp. Is there any way i can do this. Also I need to install windows 7 on mac os x sever 10.6, is there a workaround because there is no boot camp?

So do you want a full blown mail server setup to receive as well as send? Or just sending? If its just sending, what are you looking to accomplish using this method?
The purpose of the server would be to run its services 24/7, why would you want to install Windows 7 on it, this would be done better at user desktop via boot camp or parallels?

Did I infect my Mac mini with Fetch Quick Look?

I had a suspicious file that I didn't want to download so I did a Quick Look with Fetch.
I thought it just displayed it in memory. I now learned that Fetch downloads the file. I'm kicking myself for not checking first.
The file is a PHP Backdoor trojan that was on a Linux server. I bought my Mac Mini last week after I had a virus on my PC. It's running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4
Where would this file be located if it was downloaded? It's not in the download folder.
I ran Dr Web Light and did a full scan. 157 files were skipped because the were locked. OS files I expect.
Is there another virus software program that I should run like Sophos?
Your help and insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm getting back with some more info. Fetch did get back to me.
There is a file called 'Fetch Cache' in ~/Library/Caches/Cleanup st Startup/com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch
I did delete the Fetch Cache file in in ~/Library/Caches/com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch
I had already rebooted so there was nothing in Cleanup at Startup. When I rebooted I had a problem booting, unplugged and then rebooted without a problem. Could something install during that phase from Library Caches or would OS X prevent this?
Is a Linux trojan likely to infect a Mac?
Thanks again

Mac Mini - Email problems.

Hi, my parents bought a Mac Mini today. They have added their email accounts fine however it seem that emails from years ago that were once deleted are coming back andd resyncing. We have a total of 6808 emails with more coming through. We cannot delete these emails either. Does anyone know what they have done?? Please help!

Hello, is/are these POP or IMAP accounts?
To stop it anyway, you need to log into the webMail Server in a Browser & remove them.

My mac mini sudenly frozed and won't boot in again.

while i surf the net with safari, safari just close itself and the screen was dim with a message to restart . after i do restart my mac mini it can't log in to os and fail to install new os from cd. i did test hardware and it error 4MEM/1/40000000 . is it because my kingston ram that i just replace 1 month ago? i think it just works....

I am having a similar issue to the original post! However, I have not upgraded my RAM. I've only had my Mac Mini for 2 months. I have the dual 512MB RAM sticks which came with the Mac Mini from Apple. The case has never been opened.
My system won't boot into the Mac OS GUI. I just get dumped to the Darwin prompts. I can't successfully re-install the OS from DVD/CD. I run the Apple Hardware Tests from disk and get "4MEM/1/40000000".
I noticed this when I tried to login to my machine on 6May07.
Does anyone know if the brick and mortar Apple Stores can replace the memory under warranty on the spot? (The closest Apple Store to me is about a 3 hour drive). I hate calling the Apple hotline.

How to keep the ".mac" version email address from showing up in Mail?

I was a .Mac guy way back. MobileMe came out. Now I have two emails, the difference being the domain. One .mac and one .me.
I just want to use the .me. I had several aliases and they all have the same issue. When I choose which email address to send it from, I have a ton of emails to choose from. I could cut that in half without all the .mac ones. Anyway to fix this so only the .me address show up in the from field?

On your iPhone, from the Home page go into settings then Notes. Change your Default account to 'On My IPhone'.

Safari 'Email/Email Link to this page' launches Mail Again

If I select Share > Email/Email Link to this page' in Safari, and Mail is already running, rather than just creating a new message, it launches a second instance of Mail (same executable though) and then creates a new message.
I have already rebuilt Launchservices with Cocktail, to no avail.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Synchronizing emails between my iBook and my Mac Mini

Hi there, I've had a search around this forum and I can't find an exact response to my query (most likely my search string blows).
Anyway as the title suggests I've got an iBook and a Mac Mini. I have an email account that is hosted on a web server based upon my own domain name and thus no affiliation to the .mac service. Also I use Mail as my email application.
Up until a couple of week ago I used iMAP to allow me access to my mail and my mail folders on both computers. All hunky dorey. A couple of unfortunate events have left me in a bit of a pickle however. First my server that hosts my iMap email has disappeared off the face of the planet and by the looks of it so have the hosting company as I have lost all contact with them. On the same day however my Mac Mini died on me and required a clean install of Tiger.
Here's where the problems come in. Obviously I can no longer get my emails from the server as it no longer exists. My Mac Mini was the main computer for accessing mail, so the full bodies had been downloaded for each message when I opened them. Problem two, my Mini is now wiped.
My ibook is used for infrequent email access so although it still shows the folder structure for my emails, mirroring that of my old server, it has only downloaded the bodies of one or two emails and the rest are just headers and subjects.
Needless to say I'm now a little wary of iMAP as I've lost around 1000 pretty important emails from the last 5/6 years. Also as much as .Mac is kool, I a) want to keep my own domain based email address and b) I will have more than 1GB of email within no time so it'll end up costing me way more than I'm prepared to pay.
Now that you've got my life story, time for me to explain where I need help. I'm probably looking to use POP mail now so I have a downloaded copy of my mail, however I would be willing to use iMAP if there is a way I can get my iBook to automatically download the full message bodies without me having to open each email or select its folder.
Is there a way to do this?
An other option would be to use POP, as mentioned, and I would be looking to synchronise my emails (including it's folder structure) between my two macs?
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help and sorry for such a long story
Gareth

Hi there, I've had a search around this forum and I

Try searching Mail Help instead (see below). Another place to search for this type of information is http://search.info.apple.com/.

Yes. If you type IMAP in the Mail Help search box you should find an article titled Synchronizing an IMAP account to use offline that contains the information you're looking for.

Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

Look up "screen sharing" in help
You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse. Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users:
Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users:
Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen:
Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password:
Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

Mac Mini mid 2010 crashes

Dear community,
I bought an Mac Mini 2010 a couple of months ago and I've upgraded the mac mini immediately with a 250 GB Samsung Evo 840 and 2X 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM. I've got a 22" display connected to my mac mini through HDMI. Looking good so far.. But..
Every once in a while, sometimes 2 times in 60 minutes, the screen freezes and I have to login again. My feeling is that Finder crashed. Sometimes but a bit fewer, the whole system crashes and I have to restart.
I cannot figure out what's wrong, reinstalling Yosemite didn't help. I've done diagnostics on RAM and SSD but they show all green. My gut feeling is that something is wrong with the graphics card/driver, but other than it crashes more often during video playback as for example typing in Pages, I don't have anything to back that thought up.
I do have a copy of the log after the latest crash. Could anyone help me please? Although an SSD is fast and Yosemite is the best operating system out there, it's not nice to restart every time:(

My Apple blue tooth keyboard will not pair with my mac mini

My Apple wireless keyboard was paired with my Mac Mini. It is no longer paired. I have put in new Batteries. I have pressed the button on the top right hand section of the keyboard, the green led lights up briefly. The Blue Tooth set up assistant appears on screen and searches for the keyboard. I has brifly seen it but does not make a connection. The Magic moose is doing the same thing.

Hi Darrell,
If your Apple Bluetooth and keyboard are not paring to your Mac Mini, then take a look at the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it to pair and start working again. If you have not done so already, try looking form anything could be causing interference like cordless phones as well and thing metal between the keyboard and the Mac Mini.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance,

Does the new mac mini have airplay

I have a late 2010 Mac Mini and I was looking into it the see if the new Mac Mini offered Airplay. If it did I would be looking to sell my old Mac Mini and purchase a new one sometime in the near future.

Yes it will. Any 2011 or newer Mac mini will support it.
Here's the article
