Mail behaves differently on MacBook and iMac (both 10.5.8)

This barely rises to the level of "annoyance," but I thought I'd ask about it. Mail seems to be slightly different on my MacBook and my iMac, both running 10.5.8. When my iMac starts up, mail connects to my server and all is well. But when my MacBook restarts, mail gives me a message that it "Can't verify the identity of cedant2.abac.com" (which is my mail provider). All I have to do is click "Connect" and it works just fine. But I never even get that dialog box on my iMac.
Plus, the showing of that dialog box seems to precipitate the creation of multiple nested (empty) sub-InBoxes in my account. Again, I can delete those pretty easily, but it's so odd...
Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

in the identity dialog expand the trust settings and there will be an option to set it to always trust that certificate. then it will never ask again.

  • Mail is sluggish on macbook and iMac - on iPhone it is quick to send. What's up with that?

    Mail is sluggish on macbook and iMac - on iPhone it is quick to send.  It sometimes will take the better part of a minute to be sent out.  On the phone it is quick.  Could it have something to do with the phone being on 4G while the laptop and desktop are wifi?

  • 10.5.2 update different for MacBook and iMac?

    I am sure that, when I downloaded the 10.5.2 update for my MacBook, it was only 180Mb but the download for my iMac was 343Mb. Anyone else notice the smaller file for the MacBook?

    It depended on the model, my MacBook was the larger file.

    Time Machine on Macbook Pro and iMac both running 10.7.4 don't  react the same. Macbook Pro runs back every hour even if asleep, and iMac only when it's awake. Why?

    I thought the backup whilst asleep was only used on Mountain Lion.. but perhaps it was also introduced with Lion.. anyway it is only enabled on later firmware.. in latest laptops.

    I actually just found out another kewel thing. If you bought a mac and get the free upgrade, it lets you install it on all your macs!!!!!
    Come to think of it, if FORCES you to install it on all your macs! You can't buy it again on the App Store.

  • Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

    I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
    I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
    Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
    In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
    show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
    Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
    Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
    In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
    Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
    To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
    If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

    I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
    Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
    or
    Did you back up the Library to another Library?
    The distinction is important:
    In your title you ask about
    synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
    If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
    However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
    Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
    No.
    Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
    iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?

    1-Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?
    2-I made three queries Q1,Q2 & Q3 and linked them with proper field links but suppose Q3 returns no records for some Q1&Q2 records & when the report runs for delimited options it reflects only those records as output for which all the queries return records(if Q3 returns no record then the related records from queries Q1,Q2 don't reflect) while the output in desformat=html or pdf is ok..
    can you please resolve my problems
    ( I have installed patch 5a in my report server machine)
    Thanks & Regds.

    What do you mean by "different"? (In our
    experience, Oracle html output has too many
    columns, which are not visible in the
    browser but are obvious in Excel.)
    We build our own html programmatically, so
    that Excel matches the browser more closely.

  • Lion designed for MacBooks and iMacs, not Mac Pros?

    Seems to me that most of the major features of Lion only benefit folks using trackpads, which means mainly MacBook and iMac users. If you're a mouse-user all that built-in swiping and tapping is useless. To some degree, the same is true with Air Drop,great if you're mobile, but not so necessary otherwise. So, since I do 95% of my serious computer work on a Mac Pro, I see no benefit in upgrading to Lion. The only features that seem relevant are some of the lesser touted features like auto-save and maybe Mission Control, although that seems a bit meh to me.
    Anyone care to tell me why I should invest $29 in this alleged upgrade?

    Nostatic1
    I upgraded, had a look and then decided to go back to Snow Leopard. Lion was a bit buggy for a start, but like you I have a Mac Pro, and do a lot of design type work, not as a profession though. Auto save worries me, as I want full control over when I save when designing stuff. To have to go back through lots of saved versions to get to the one I want to keep would seem to me to just be creating more work for me. As I understand it, it only works in apps that are adapted to use it, so my old CS3 would not do it, but that direction worries me if I don't have control over it.
    A lot of the new features can be switched off if you don't like them, which is what I did, so why upgrade? The new iCal and Address Book are horrendous looking too!!! Gaudy is the term that comes to mind. So is the full screen version of Photo Booth. Those types of apps look OK on the iPhone, but look horribly out of place on a Mac, where they have already taken all the colour out of the program window borders to leave a pale grey. I couldn't bear to look at them, and had to replace those bits of the apps with graphics of my own.
    My advice is not to do anything for at least a while. It seems that an awful lot of posts in this forum are people wanting to know how to alter Apple's defaults and to switch things off. I am hoping Apple is watching and taking notice.
    It seems to me that Apple has taken the success of the iPhone and iPad as its inspiration to change the Mac. I have an iPhone and I find the apps like address book that reopen where you closed them a pain. Usually I don't want that same person again, and I have to navigate back to my groups, then out again to get to the right person. It would be much simpler to always start at groups. I cannot imagine doing serious design work with my finger on an iPad. The two should remain separate entities.
    This is the first upgrade that I have reverted from in 18 years as a Mac user, and the first time I am really getting worried that Apple is going off in the wrong direction - and the first time that Steve Jobs is not at the helm. I don't have a good feeling for the future.

  • I have two macs ( macbook and Imac) do i have to buy Lion twice if I want to update  both computers?

    Hi there,
    I was just thinking about updating my comuputers 9 macbook pro and Imac) to OS X Lion but am unsure whether I have to buy it twice.

    No, when you download it, save the installer in the Applications folder before you install it.
    You can also re-download it from AppStore

  • Sync Macbook and iMac

    I recently purchased a new 27" iMac. I want to be able to keep my photos and music in-sync with both my new iMac and my Macbook. For example, when I am on-the-go, I want to be able to open my Macbook and if I have downloaded a new song back home from my iMac; I want it to be available on my Macbook. I know I can enable Library Sharing via iPhoto or iTunes, but that only works with both computers on and running. I want something like MobileMe, where if one thing changes, it changes it on every device. However, I have gigabytes upon gigabytes of photos and music, therefore MobileMe or DropBox aren't useful to me. Please help me. I have read in some threads about using FireWire and such, but am illiterate when it comes to how to set this up.
    Thanks,

    I do exactly the same thing. But it's not as easy as one would think. I like to keep my MacBook exactly like my iMac right down to the desktop.
    Music - If you use iTunes you need to turn on the home share option and let them sync when they see each other. This is automatic and built into iTunes. If you do not use iTunes, then syncing of your music should be no problem with ChronoSync.
    Files other then in Mail - I use ChronoSync. I have it set to sync everything I want to keep on both machines automatically. The moment each computer sees the other they sync. Usually very quickly unless I have change, added, removed a lot of files.
    Mail - You need to use an IMAP system to keep all mail synced as copying the files from computer to another will not put them back into mail. Like iTunes it has it's own database engine that everything has to go through.
    Contacts, Calendar, notes, widgets, dock items, keychains, mail rules, bookmarks, and preferences - If you use MobileMe to sync then do not sync any other way. It will cause havoc... If you do not use MobileMe, then there are settings in ChronoSync to sync those too.

  • Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

    Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
    I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
    (I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
    * Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
    * Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
    the other device and the remote storage place?
    * The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
    inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
    * One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
    Thanks in advance.

    The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
    The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
    So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
    I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
    It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.
