Mail, Calendar, Notes, Reminders missing from cmd-Tab

To switch between applications quickly, I like to use the cmd-tab method.
Occaisionally, since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've noticed that even though any of the Mail, Calendar, Notes, or Reminders programs are running, they are not shown in the cmd-tab list, nor do they have a little 'dot' next to the respective icon in the doc. When this happens, the apps are running, since I can either click on a part of the window for the app, or click on the icon in the dock, and that application will come to the front. All the other running applications show up as expected in the cmd-tab list.
So far, I've found that if I logout, and then log back in, the problem will clear up.
I have not yet figured out what triggers this, since it's only happened about 5 times in the past couple of weeks since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Have others seen this same problem? Is there something I can do to prevent it from occuring?
Thanks

Hi Bruce,
Re 1)
IN my case I would have to select a Category (Similar to Selecting an Existing Tag name) to get it added to the bottom of a Post (first one in a thread/Question Post)
I have a vague feeing that like certain tabs you can get certain Categories to be added "Automatically" to your Question Posts (Set in the Personalisation part of the Front page when logged in)
I must admit to giving up some time ago in trying to get the system to display what I wanted in a manner that i was comfortable with when the change happened and have learned "new" ways to post since.
Re 2)
There is lots to Mountain Lion I have not caught up with yet.
My iMac is from mid 2011 (i5 Core)
I am running Firefox, Mail, Messages and sometime iTunes and Skitch
However I can always access them by CMD + Tab if I try.
I mostly post about iChat and now specifically use the Messages filter to answer questions on that app alone from Mountain Lion.
That was how I came across your post.
I was wondering if some Keyboard shortcuts had been created that disabled the CMD + tab in some Apps ?
I could see nothing in the Help.
There were 53 responses for CMD + tab and 51 for Changing App (which might suggest some overlap but I did not see one)

How do I retrieve data from the cloud to put back on my iPad after it was restarted, I.e. my calendar, notes, reminders?

I took my 1st gen iPad to an Apple store because of some glitches in the operating system, and I had forgotten my restrictions pass code. They backed up my data on the cloud, then took everything off of my iPad to basically "start over" with a new iPad. Now I don't know how to retrieve my calendar, notes, reminders. Somehow my contacts are there. I went to general settings and made sure the cloud was turned on, but I don't know how to pull from the cloud what we had previously backed up. Thanks for ANY suggestions:)

When you have forgotten a restrictions password, you can no long restore from a backup that had the restrictions turned on. You can only start over with a full reset.
But you can sign back into icloud (Setting>icloud) and turn on the services you have used before (calendars, reminders, etc...). That will sync down the data to your ipad.

Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

Outlook Mail, Calendar, Notes and more?

Hi!
I am a Windows Mobile person but I recently feel in love with Bold, thinking of getting one right away but after going through the forums, I am slightly lost.
I am currently able to synch my HTC phone with my company's outlook mail, calendar, notes and contacts. My company has Microsoft exchange but no BES, so I am thinking of signing up for the BIS with my operator. Question is will I still be able to synch mail, calendar, notes and contacts with BIS? I only see references to mail only. Not sure about the rest.
Thanks a lot to anyone who is willing to help a potential newbie!

Hi JSanders,
Thank you for your reply. So just to confirm, there is synching of calendar, address book, tasks and memos. How about contacts? It that the same as the address book you mentioned?
How is the performance of the synching? Is that a significant delay or just a matter of seconds?
Thank you.
Yes, Contacts = Address Book.
The sync on Desktop Manager 4.5 and 4.6 is somewhat slow, it appears to give the data an extra couple of read passes for some reason. On DM 4,2, the sync was lightening fast.
Expect 7-8 minutes for a sync on DM 4.6 with 1,000 contacts.

Mail can not be sent from pop account

The mail can not be sent from my mail configured on my iMac. Please help.

While in mail, if you click Window then Connection Doctor, do any of the connections have a red dot next to them? The message should tell you what's wrong and if you click on it, it should take you to where you can fix it.

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

"mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages......

About 2 weeks ago I started seeing "mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages popping up when I attempt to both new mail and e-mails that I have already read. I usually don't have any problems when I first launch the program, but after a few minutes running I get this message when I try to open any e-mail.
The message from "---" <[email protected]> concerning “RE: S8-04 pps sample package” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
I know that the program is running online because it continues to show me new e-mails that come in.
What should I do?

Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.4.7 and Sasso's OS detail provided is 10.3.9.
The MBOX Breaker script does not work with Tiger mailboxes which are different from the mailbox structure used with previous Mail.app versions and the link you provided includes instructions for Jaguar or Panther Mail, not Tiger Mail. And depending on the size of the mailbox with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the MBOX Breaker Script may not be required.
If you are getting this message with Tiger Mail, this indicates you upgraded to Tiger from Jaguar or Panther on this Mac.
If so and if this Sent mailbox is for a POP type account, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
List all file and folder names available within the Sent Messages.mbox folder.

Please help, my calendar events are missing from iphone, ipad, and icloud that were there last week

I use the calendar on my iphone and I pad for my entire life, including work, everything for my boys and all of my hubbys appointments.
Last Friday was the last time that I inputed appointments into my calendar and everything previous was in there and on my ipad and icloud.
I went in this morning to check an appointment time for something next week and found that 99% of the events that I had scheduled since the beginning of the year are missing. And they are missing from my iphone, my ipad, my icloud, and no longer in my Yahoo calendar.
I am drfinately in a panic, i need these ....
Has anyone had this problem?
Can anyone tell me how to get them back please

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you aren't hiding them.

IPhone 3 to 4.0.2 upgrade - lost contacts, messages, mail, calendar, notes

I have just upgraded my iPhone 3 to to the latest 4.0.2 OS. However, in doing so I have lost all my contacts, messages, mail, calendar and notes. How do I get all my lost information back.

Hi,
I Sync'ed the phone before I started. When I initiated the upgrade, it took ~ 2 hours to back up the phone and upgrade the OS. I was confident that if anything went wrong, I would be able to restore to the previous settings. However, the only restore option is to restore to factory settings - there is not option to restore to previous backup, or just restore only the contacts, messages, mail, notes or calendar.
Alternatively, is there any way to see the contents of the contacts, messages, mail, notes and calendar. If I have to, I'll type the important details in again (or go round to Steve Jobs house and ask him to do it for me!).
Can someone provide easy steps to fix my problem.
Thanks.

The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />

A Twist on (this e-mail) has not been downloaded from the server.

So I've read the discussions on the following message in MAIL
The message from [email protected] concerning “Re: blah has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
But here's my issue - the ONLY e-mails in my POP account that have this message are between myself and one other person. All other e-mails from the same time period, and in fact everything in my POP account is normal except for messages I sent to and received from this person. I don't want to get into the specifics, but I have several good reasons PRIOR to discovering this to believe that my communication with this person was being monitored. If I didn't have these doubts from before as well as the fact that ONLY this correspondence is tainted, I wouldn't be so curious.
Is it possible that this "download from server" message indicates that some other party was reading these messages? I was not in the US during this exchange - but rather in a country which does poke around quite a bit. I don't mean to sound dramatic or paranoid - but it is awfully strange and suspect.
thanks.
(i don't think this is a problem with Tiger or OS X or whatever - as it only applies to this correspondence)

What does "being monitored" mean?
In Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), that error message means there is some mismatch between what Envelope Index says there is in a mailbox and what there really is.
The only way I can currently think of those messages being monitored could have a bearing on this is that someone had access to the *.emlx files stored locally on your disk.
