Mac Mini: reset password.... also need help with my emails

Good day,
i recently reset my password for my mac mini but as i never log off i have forgotten the password I am still logged in but i can't change the password without knowing the last one.... Is there a way around this?
Also....
I connected my email account to the mail system on the mac mini and it copied all of my emails over onto the hard drive... this i didn't want as i need to be able to use the emails while i am on the road... Is there a way that i can move them back? If not is there a way that i can pull them onto my icloud account or any other account from apple that i can have access to them....
This will also cause issues if i have to reset the mini i am worried i will loose all my emails.
Thanks for the help!

Mac Mini WebCam Issues. Need Help.

I have a mini i7 with a Logitech HD Pro webcam. The person at the other end gets a bad echo of themselves when video chatting. The issue is on my side, not theirs. Tried face time and google talk. Even tried two different web cams. My wife's iMac has a check box to "use ambient noise reduction" my mac mini doesn't have that option. How can I fix this. Surly there are mac mini owners using webcams?

When I use the cam with it's built in mic the person at the other end gets really bad echos. Apparently no ambient noise reduction check box on a mini.
So I buy a Logitech USB mic and that took care of the echo but even with the input volume cranked the person at the other end can barley hear me unless I use the mic like you're drinking out of a straw.
Why is this so **** hard??

I also need help with a programming assingment. I think I'm almost there!

I have the following assingment to complete:Once again, you realize that you need to upgrade your Java program with two more features:
Be able to print products which are �On Sale�.
Use arrays to store the product names so that you can keep track of your inventory.
After some analysis, you notice that printing the products can be achieved by modifying the two classes you have already written. One approach would be to add a Boolean attribute called �OnSale� to the ToddlerToy and add a print method that print information about a product indicating if it is �On Sale�.
Update your constructor, taking into account the �On Sale� attribute.
Create two more instances: a small train called Train4 and a big train called Train5. Mark both trains �On Sale�
Add another method that prints the sale information
Keeping track of the names of products can be achieved by declaring an array of strings in the ToysManager class itself. Each time a new product is created, it is also added to the array. Use a while construct to print the product names in your inventory.
This is the code I have come up with:
public class ToysManager {
     private String toyInventory[] = {"Big Train","Small Train"};
     public void printInventory() {
     System.out.println("List of Items in Toy Inventory");
     for (int i=0; i<toyInventory.length; i++)
     { System.out.println(toyInventory[i])); } // ";"expected - ToysManager.java
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          //System.out.println("This is the main method of class ToysManager.");
          //call on ToysManager printInventory method for a listing of all toy types
          printInventory();
          // Create ToddlerToy Objects Train1,Train2,Train3,Train4,Train5
     ToddlerToy Train1 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,false);
     Train1.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train2 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,false);
     Train2.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train3 = new ToddlerToy(477, "Small Train", 12.95,false);
     Train3.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train4 = new ToddlerToy(477, "Small Train", 12.95,true);
     Train4.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train5 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,true);
     Train5.printOnSale();
}     //this is the end bracket for the main method
}          //this is the end bracket for the ToysManager class
class ToddlerToy {
     // Initialize and Assign Data Types to each Variables
     private int productID;
     public String productName;
     public double productPrice;
     private boolean onSale;
public void ToddlerToy(int a, String b, double c, boolean d) {
     // Assign Data to Variables
     productID = a;
     productName = b;
     productPrice = c;
     onSale = d;
     //PrintProductPrice(ProductPrice);
     } //end of constructor
public void printOnSale(){
     if(onSale == true) System.out.println("This item #" + productID + ": " + productName + "is on sale");
I don't have any problems with class ToddlerToy. I can compile that with no problems. I'm having issues with public class ToysManager. I can't compile that one correctly. It fails at:
{ System.out.println(toyInventory[i])); } // ";"expected - ToysManager.java
I've looked through the java books I have and also online, but I can't figure this out. I'm new to java so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That got me past that error. I was hung up on that for far too long. I made some changes and when i compile the ToysManager class it shoots a different error. The code now looks like this:
public class ToysManager {
     private String toyInventory[] = {"Big Train","Small Train"};
     public void printInventory() {
     System.out.println("List of Items in Toy Inventory");
     for (int i=0; i<toyInventory.length; i++){
     System.out.println(toyInventory);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          //System.out.println("This is the main method of class ToysManager.");
          //call on ToysManager printInventory method for a listing of all toy types
          printInventory();
          // Create ToddlerToy Objects Train1,Train2,Train3,Train4,Train5
     ToddlerToy Train1 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,false);
     Train1.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train2 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,false);
     Train2.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train3 = new ToddlerToy(477, "Small Train", 12.95,false);
     Train3.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train4 = new ToddlerToy(477, "Small Train", 12.95,true);
     Train4.printOnSale();
     ToddlerToy Train5 = new ToddlerToy(489, "Big Train", 19.95,true);
     Train5.printOnSale();
     }     //this is the end bracket for the main method
}          //this is the end bracket for the ToysManager class
I get an illegal start of expression for:
     public static void main(String[] args) {
and ";" expected for:
     }     //this is the end bracket for the main method
I looked over my initial code, before the "for" loop?, and the public static void main was a valid statement.

I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model: MC774C/A; IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329).
While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca. The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada). (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.) Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi. During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine. I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house. I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at. I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

And for paid apps it needs the answers to those questions and so does itunes. plz anyone help make my day?❤️❤️

If the email isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Need help with new email problem

Hi friends . . . I'm not sure if this is a forum that could help me figure out my new problem . . . but I'll give it a try. . .I need some help . . . My email is sometimes being sent to the wrong address. Instead of my Yahoo address, they're sent to AOL instead. At first I thought this was an eBay or Paypal problem, but other mail that I subscribe to is all of a sudden going to AOL instead of my Yahoo address . . .In all of these cases, the AOL address was never registered with the site. I'm not using an external POP mail program . . . just standard Yahoo mail with iMac and Firefox. Anyone have any clue what's going on . . . .thanks in advance for any help . . .

Need help with correct email settings for several devices and Gmail

My work email is set up on my 2 macs in mac mail with the IMAP setting. I also have my email routed to gmail. How can I set up my email so they download to all 3 locations without them disappearing or rerouting after I read them? Currently, if I open an email on one device, it typically disappears and the eventual locaiton tends to be gmail where they stay forever. This morning, one of my devices got an email I was waiting for, and the other did not.

Need help with sending email notifications via OEM

Hi Folks,
Objective: To setup email notification if the listener or the database instance goes down
Version: 10 g Rel 2
I have setup the email from OEM. I have verified the configuration by successfully sending myself test emails.
I have configured the schedule (7 days a week, from 1 A.M to 11 P.M)
I have also configured the out-of-the package alerts so that I will be notified if the listener goes down
However, once I manually stop the listener, no email is sent out?
Can somebody spot any obvious steps that I might have missed? Or if somebody can suggest any debugging steps that might help to resolve the issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your BlackBerry will have ONE main message folder "Messages". You will have two others, one for Yahoo and one for the AOL account.
ALL email will come to the main Messages folder, be default, and that can't be changed. I would suggest hiding your Yahoo and AOL folders, since they basically duplicate what is in the main messages folder.
Some people will hide the main messages folder and leave the other email specific folders visable, however since your main messages folder is also the only place your PIN and other type messages will collect, you might miss one of if you hide that folder.
For the missed calls in your main messages folder--press the green phone dial key > Menu key (left of the trackball) and press Options > Call Logging. Set that to NONE, and save.

Please advise!
Thank you!

Alexisann, Welcome to the discussion area!
I'm not sure how you ended up in the "Discussions > AirPort > AirPort for Windows" discussion area. Your question has nothing to do with Apple's wireless base stations, wireless networking, nor Windows.
A much better place to put your question would be the "Discussions > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book" discussion area.

I need help with lost email

I have had an "sbcglobal.net" account for at least 10 years or more. I always save emails in my inbox that I still need to address. Over the last week, I have noticed that many are going missing, and this morning, another 2 days of emails were deleted out of my box. It doesn't matter what device I use to look at my email, they are gone. They are not in the trash box. What do I do? Panicking!!!

Need help with reading email

I have had my Blackberry only a few days, but was doing fine. All was set up correctly, but for some reason I was snooping around and evidently have changed something. Now, I can't select an individual email message to read. I can only select multiple messages and then when I click the track ball the only options are to delete, save, etc. Also, my suretype does not seem to be working now (although it is on). I also have an upwards, large arrow and "123" in my upper right hand screen that has not been there before. I know it might be something silly, but I appreciate any help or tips to resolve this. I was really loving it until now.
Thanks!!!
Kim

take the battery out and put it back in. This should fix it.
