Mail and keychain problems when upgrading to SL

I have tried twice to upgrade to SL from 10.4.11.
Initially everything is smooth as glass, fast, no issues at all.
After I open mail everything works fine. After closing mail; the next time I open it and try to get mail the little boxes asking for my password shows up on 3 of the 5 accounts.
I add the password and I can get mail.
However if I check the box to save the PW to the keychain, mail stops working. In the worst case I loose all my mail in the account where I asked for the PW to be saved.
Needless to say I only did that once.
I do NOT get the use mail 1st time message until I loose my mail. Then everything is gone
I have tried to remove and re-add the offending accounts both in mail set-up and in thew keychain.
" " " " " the mail.plist.
" " " " " " " " to the desktop and re-placing it.
I have talked to apple support and nobody has a clue. 1st time was Aug, '10, then again this weekend.
Still the same problem.
On the positive side Safari was working again, and Aperture "flew"
So I really want to upgrade.
The people I have talked to who have upgraded from 10.4.11 to SL do not seem to have had a problem.
Everything works fine with Tiger, except Safari and Aperture is slow. Firefox is also slow, but Safari doesn't work anymore.
Being a former techie (retired now) I have checked, DBL checked and tripple checked. Permissions are fine, althoug after the upgrade there were a couple that I fixed.
I am back on Tiger, Good thing I backup frequently.
Please can anyone assist?????
I am going to try it again, but not until I get some productive feedback
Thanks

Next time someone asks::
Go to keychain firstaid ( I am assuming you know how to get there ;-p
and run it, then repair it
Keychain now works

Why display hanging and software problem when upgraded to ios 8

Why display hanging and software problem when upgraded to ios 8

Hi Redhazel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you're experiencing a poor image quality with your iPhone's camera, please follow the troubleshooting below.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Cheers,
Alex H.

Mail and Keychain Problem

I would like to refer to the problem of Mail asking multiple (50 plus) a day for the passwords for POP accounts. The question has been posted a couple of times here and a dozens of times in other forums. Nobody was able to give an answer. If nobody has an answer to a software problem, then it is normally called a bug.
The simple question to Apple: When will you fix this bug? It makes Mail basically unusable.
Regards

sorry to have not provided details, as everybody I know has this problem. and a couple of others-:)
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549320&tstart=150
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=542171&tstart=270
-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=548118&tstart=285
they all relate to exactly the same problem and they have been asked in the last 4-5 days in this forum and no solution has been offered. The last time I looked for an answer was 4 weeks ago and the ratio of asked questions (this question) and no answers was the same. I have seen this question in all other Mac user forums and no solution has been offered there as well. This has let me to the hypothesis, that it is a bug.
ok the details:
I have 5 POP accounts on my mac and one .Mac account. The .Mac never has a problem, but the POP accounts ask for the password randomly, sometimes twice a minute. This must happen when Mail checks with the respective mail server for new messages. The problem has popped up half a year ago, I believe when Tiger got introduced. We are five people in our office and everybody has this problem, at work and at home and with 6 different providers.
Even if you check the box, "Save password in Keychain" it happens again. You can avoid this by closing Mail and just opening it when you check for new mail every couple of hours, or you can hit the button "Connect to Internet" in Mail. If you are lucky all the POP accounts get downloaded.
I have tried the Keychain fixes, everything that got posted as possible fixes. Nothing worked.
Help would be appreciated.

Full-fledged IDEs available in SAP and relevant problem when upgrading / up

Dear All,
Could some please explain the best strategy to adopt as concerns exploiting the full-fledged development / customizing tools provided by SAP; e.g. Composition Environment Visual Composer, Web Dynpro Java, BPM, u2026etc. and avoiding the problems that would arise when upgrading to a newer version, or even updating to a higher fix (Support Package).
Also, as exploiting those powerful development environment tools would necessarily need a good knowledge of the SAP database, could someone please guide to resources whereby necessary knowledge of the SAP underlying database could be aquired.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards.
Reda Khalifa

I tested the SAPEXE.SAR and the ouput was fine. I also have downloaded the file again in the meanwhile. Now I will try to update with this file, but i think it's exactly the same file because the size is the same.
I have now tried the other SAPEXE with the same result. I don't know whats going wrong here
Regards,
Martin

Volume and iTunes problems when upgrading.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro, running with Snow lepard Mac OSX10.6.8 with the latest security update 2013-003. I also updated iTunes to the latest version 11.0.4. Now, I can't find some of my fonts in InDesign, iTunes doesn't work anymore (I can't play any song) and the volume doesn't work at all on my computer.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

But the last itunes update did indeed sort the issue!

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, weird, strange...did ONE more restart and now its working fine...who knows?

How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from

How do I use Migration Assistant to get my Mail and Keychain settings from my Power Mac G5 2.3Ghz? I just purchased a new 2.5 MacBook Pro which will be delivered tomorrow, and I want to to know how to transfer Mail and Keychain?
Thank You in advance for your reading and replying.
Kindest Regards,
Sebastian

Rather than using Migration Assistant, which can cause trouble with the PPC to Intel change, simply boot the G5 in FireWire target disk mode and manually transfer the following:
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
You might want to look over Kappy's helpful guide for migrating, which covers the full process for a manual migration (including the above files).
Hope this helps...

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

Is there a way to increase the font size in the sidebar of Mac mail and the Finder when running OS 10.6.8?

The only way to increase the size of the onscreen text in the Finder Menu Bar and in the Side bar in Finder Windows is to change the screen resolution in the OS X Preferences Pane under the Displays icon.
What Mac and screen size are you using?

Mail and Notes problems in Mavericks

I've just installed Mavericks and I'm instantly having problems with Mail and Notes. To wit:
1) Prior to the upgrade, I had dozens of messages flagged. Now, almost no messages show up as flagged.
2) Some Smart Mailboxes now only display only a handful of messages, when before the upgrade some of those boxes contained dozens, if not hundreds of messages.
3) Now that Notes has been separated from Mail (I skipped Mountain Lion altogether) I can't get my iCloud notes to sync to the new app.
Any guesses or advice?
Thank you,
Jeff

Hello Oskar98,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when importing video from your camera into iMovie. I was not sure of the exact steps you took to import the video footage, and I wanted to provide the steps to confirm you are following all the steps.
Try importing the footage from your camera by clicking on the link that refers to your camera type and following the steps in the related article:
To create movies in iMovie, you must import (transfer) your video footage from your camera to your Mac. You can import from most types of cameras, including:
iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
File-based cameras
Tape-based cameras
You can find additional information about importing at the following link:
