Mail for Gmail: They are there, but...

My Mail doesn't retrieve the emails in my gmail account. I have already:
1. set the account (X) like gmail said in both Mail and Gmail POP account faq
2. tested w/ other gmail account (Y) with the above setting and it works
3. repair permissions n restarted
4. deleted the messageuid thing, com.apple.mail.plist, n so on as suggested by previous posts
but... account X simply is untouchable. Mail failed to see that there are emails there to retrieve. It says that there are no new messages. I don't have any firewall (LittleSnitch etc)
Anybody can offer any solution... other than reinstall Tiger? =)
Thanks.

Gmail POP access does not work the way it should. The main issue, which may be related to the problem you are experiencing, is that messages downloaded by any e-mail client are marked as read for POP access at the server.
This means that any message already downlodaded by Apple Mail or any other e-mail client from a Gmail account is no longer available to either the same or any other e-mail client, no matter what you do to tell the client that the messages should be downloaded again. You can check this yourself choosing Get Info on the account; Mail will report that there are no messages at the server.
To make the messages available again for POP access, you must go to your Gmail account settings at the server (i.e. in mail.google.com, not in Apple Mail) and re-enable POP downloading for all your messages, which will cause everything still there to be downloaded again.

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

Got the Trojan.Zbot before the antivirus kicked in. All previous emails show that they are there but can't see the contents. Can they be restored?

All old emails are showing that they are there but there are no contents when you try to open them.

right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. A new index will be generated which may fix the issue or make the empty mails disappear because they are no longer available to be indexed.
BTW look in your anti virus program for quarantined files with names like inbox

Trying to add podcasts to shuffle I tunes says they are there but when I play them only a few are available?

Hello rhdarby2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Pictures on event are not showing but I know they are there, but where?

I have uploaded picturesfrom camera to imac. Deleted pictures from camera. Then see at the event, and it only shows 15 pictures. I hit on one and kept moving with arrow to the right to see the rest and found that there are a lot more that DO NOT show in this event or any of the ones imported. These pictures were in the camera but do not show unless I hit the event to show pictures individually. How can I get the event to show me all the pictures it has? Where are these photyos then?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I have deleted all my photos and videos from my camera role and all my photos are there and they are safe but my videos they are there but they dont play. it only shows a picture of it there is no way of playing them ... have i lost the videos then?

this is on my iphone 5 by the way

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

TS2580 Only my welcome page published, not the links to the other pages. My server says they are there, but not showing up, any ideas? Thanks.

I developed my web site and published it with myserver. However only the first page shows up, no other pages, and the links to the other pages are missing on the welcome page. The host tells me that it is a software problem, that the pages are on the server. Pleae advise?
Thank You.

Rest assured, your pages are there :
http://www.lynxag.com/Welcome.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Products.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos.html
http://www.lynxag.com/Contact_Us.html
http://www.lynxag.com/feed.xml
You could have determined the presence of the pages by typing the pagenames in the URL.
The second option was to connect to the server and see with your own eyes what is there.
And since you do not use a Sitename in the URL, I assume you uploaded the files yourself instead of letting iWeb do the honours.
Regarding the Photo page, I do not see any photos on the page. Yet they are on the server too :
http://www.lynxag.com/Photos_files/Media/
If you did put the files on the server yourself, verify that you did upload every single file iWeb creates.
Edit : since the directories are open, you may want to consider closing them. Ask your webhoster to do it for you.

Unable to View .mod files in Photoshop Elements 11, can see they are there but no picture, I import them into Premiere and all OK ?

I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?

Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks. They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page. I have checked all the newbie mistakes. Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC. Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro. I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence. This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself. (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.) I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail. To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up. Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks. iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book. I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing. Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password. Nothing else.
I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me. At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

Missing Backups -- They are there, but Time Machine won't see them

I have backups going back to March 2008 on an external USB drive. Recently, there was an error message in my time machine status bar that a backup had been interrupted. After that, TIme Machine stopped backing up. I repaired my time machine backup disk using disk utility (and it found and repaired an error that there were an "Incorrect number of Access Control Lists"). I then reselected my external drive as my backup disk. Time machine is again backing up correctly. Moreover, my time machine preferences show that my oldest backup is, in fact, from March 2008, and when I mount the sparsebundle from the USB drive, all my old backups appear. However, when I actually enter time machine, none of the older backups appear. In fact, none appear at all. Only "today" is visible. Any idea how I can make time machine recognize and view all of my old backups?

I have a similar problem, with a slight twist.
Installed Time Machine January 2008.
The Apple store installed 10.5.6. November 2008.
Time Machine will only go back to the date of the 10.5.6 installation.
In console or terminal mode there are some directories and files are there on the backup HD. Although I have not found the original baseline backup yet from the console mode.
Apple support call in reported that a product specialist said the only thing to do was erase the backup HD and start over, that the 10.5.6 install had been a "new" install and the backups were no longer going to be accessible. One way to cut down on support calls is to to limit the support delivered.
Found several December 2008 references to changing permissions on "Mac address" based on ethernet card 16 byte file.
"Note the name of the file that begins with a period and has 12 characters in the name, such as ".001b6397c156" mentioned in the quote above"
This permission was r-------- to begin with. I did a chmod a+r and a+w.
A number of ways on the web to do that.
But this has not changed the behavior, but I have not rebooted yet.

HT201272 Cant get my purchased apps to downlaod on my ipad they are there but wont install

I have apps on my ipad that i have purchased and can not get them to install

With iTunes 11, if you have the left-hand sidebar showing (option-command-S) like on previous versions of iTunes, then the Library button won't show - instead you can select your library via that sidebar.
To re-download, on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage there should be a Purchased link under the Quick Links section. Click on that and you should go to a screen where you can select the content type (music, apps etc) and be able to re-download them. If you still have the 'pointers' to your apps in your iTunes library (i.e. where you are getting the exclamation marks) then iTunes will assume that you already have them somewhere and won't let you re-download them - so try deleting one of them first and you should then be able to re-download it via that Purchased link, and you can then do the same for the others.

Since upgrade of aperture, my photos from a year ago are not in library. On time machine, they are there, but I cant transfer them to todays aperture library because it says the old version is not supported. Please help!!

Since the upgrade of Aperture, my photos from a year ago are not showing up. When I go to time machine, they show up in the library, but I cant transfer them to my todays aperture because it says the old program needs to be updated. How do I get my pics from a year ago transferred to todays Aperture? Please help!!!!

You will be restoring the old Aperture library from TM, having it on the Desktop is fine.
Once the restore is finished you will have the old Aperture library in that folder. Now you want to open this library by double clicking it (the library). This will open Aperture on it and Aperture will tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let Aperture upgrade the library.
Once the Library is upgraded to the latest version of Aperture you can do want you want with it. Once you have gotten to this point if you still need help post back.
regards
