Mail gone mad

Recently had trouble with my mail sig, long story tried all the tricks permissions, repair discs lastly tried to rebuild that mailbox and poof, all mails gone in two accounts, tried to use time machine would not allow me to go back more than 3 days, did an archive and install, again repaired permissions, deleted mail plist and some of it has come back but still acting odd, can't delete posts or it deletes and leaves that mail header with no content. Thought I had a virus ??, tried to download a trial of norton, but it refused, said I had a linux something sys and had to use a computer that was running a linux ????, this started two days ago and really don't want to wipe the drive. I did get a non trusted certificate warning from a new mail account, name of server was buzzaz or something like that, could I have infected from that server and if, what is the best virus protection software.
Many Thanks
Mike

  • WRT54G ver. 7 GONE MAD!!

    Dear Linksys Community!
    I have a WRT54G ver. 7 router, and it has a lot of strange problems. First, I had a ver. 7.00.4 firmware, but sometimes i couldn't get into the admin page (192.168.1.1) so I got the 7.00.7 beta firmware. It worked fine, but I still had problems with it. I wrote to Linksys support, they sent me the final 7.00.7 firmware for my ver.7 router in e-mail. I tried to upgrade from 7.00.7beta to 7.00.7 final, but something wrong happened. The router connected to my computer via ethernet cable, the connection was stable. I logged into 192.168.1.1, I selected the 7.00.7 final firmware, and clicked "Upgrade" in the Firware upgrade section, but about a 25 seconds later the uprgrading process terminated, without any reason. After that, I couldn't get into the admin page, I only got Management mode only, the power LED was flashing, the reset button didn't have any effect (I pushed down for a minute, but nothing happened), and i didn't have internet connection. In management mode, I reinstalled the 7.00.7beta firmware. The router now works, but the signal strenght is very weak (WLAN) now. I had maximum signal strenght before (5/5), now I have maximum 2/5 or 3/5 signal strenght. Also, when I tried to reset my router, the firmware has gone, disappeared, the power LED started flashing again, I get Management mode again, and i had to reinstall the 7.00.7beta again. Also when I change any settings, the whole interface crashes, and I get a white blank page, but it saves my settings. I have to press F5 to refresh the page every time, because ALWAYS get blank page when I click on something. I don't know what should I do, my router has gone mad! Please help me! Thank you forward!

    As you have already got the firmware from the Linksys, then you can try to upload that firmware on your router using the TFTP Utility.
    Click Download 44.3 KB the TFTP utility. 
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
    Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Phone gone mad

    I've bought a Lumia 1020 today. When I turned it on at the first time it froze twice before I could go through the initial steps. It has gone mad, the screen is unresponsive, it starts apps like mad, jumps around, I can't turn it off because it starts again immediately. The backside is very hot. Unusuable. Ideas?

    Soft reset - hold Power and Volume Down buttoms pressed until phone vibrates and restarts, usually 10-15 seconds.

    I have not installed such a program.  I am one of those few N900 users whom actually know why the phone rotational settings (default) are the way it is.....IT IS A TABLET.  So it is meant for dual hand operation with the exception of number dialing to place calls .  So I never was one of those to complain or seek out apps which will make all features operational in potrait mode.

  • Rotation gone mad...

    Hello,
    I installed "Plastic Theme" and "Theme Customizer" which are great programs.  After various modifications of testing new things out, my phone has gone mad with me, I think.  How in the world can I turn off the auto-rotation?  It is great when the phone rotates during calls but not rotating on every twist and turn of the phone (with every applications as well as with an idle desktop).
    I tried to look at the settings for both programs but I cannot see where I can disable this.  I am not sure which theme is causing this under the "Plastic Theme" program.  I will do an uninstall here to restore everytihng to normal and then redownload the programs.  What could I have done wrong here??

  • My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

    iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't  respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

    Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
    If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

  • FCP5  has GONE MAD, it WONT QUIT CRASHING.

    FCP5 GONE MAD, WONT QUIT CRASHING.
    The problem started earlier with a simple "Preview Disable" problem. While trying to fix this a new problem arouse, FCP5 has crashed at every single attempt to do anything with it... Here is a thread that will give you some background information leading to this problem. Jeff Hubbach, "PREVIEW DISABLE; [VTR OK]; read TimeCode and control camera" #6, 12:30pm Oct 17, 2005 CDT
    I have run Disk Utility, trashed FCP5 preferences and restarted the computer and I had to force quit the program every time I have opened it today.
    What do you? please help

    Hello Patric,
    The sofware "crash" meaning it locks up (So far what is does is that it shows the loading icon and thats it) I wait just a few minutes, but when I press the Cmd + Option + Esc to force quit, FCP5 reads " Final Cut Pro Is Not Responding" everything on red.
    The other things is that even after force quiting, on the dock it still indicates that is open, and when I press the Cmd + tab to navigate through the programs, it still shows FCP as if it was open.
    I don't have any network drive mounted. I am using one drive the same that is running the the OS and others...

  • Xcode's gone mad

    Well, I'm doing the assignments of cs193p. I'm at assignment 3 now (although I finished the whole course)..
    Xcode has gone mad. Literally. I open a project, when I run, a totally different UI (of another project) is there. I've been trying to use a Mutable Array, addObject there, then it doesn't work. I debug, the object added somewhere are actually there, but each object is out of scope, or in other words, 0x0 pointers. Although I used the same thing before and it fully worked.
    What's wrong? :|

    Well, that means an update to 10.7.4. My connection is crap. 50 KBs download per second. I'll do that of course but I guess it'll have to be later.
    By the way, I'm still wondering how the 2 projects are connected. In the first project though I'm using a navigation controller with views of .xib files. The second project displays the .xib file without the navigation controller, although it has its own .xib file. Also, both files aren't connected in any way o.o
    How could something like that happen?!

  • HELP! email folders & e-mails gone overnight

    I have an O2 e-mail account which I used to access through Safari and and a gmail account which I access through Mail.  I decided (using online instructions from my e-mail provider) to set up Mail so it would also contain my O2 e-mail.  It was all very simple and was working fine with all my O2 e-mail folders visible and working in Mail alongside my gmail account.  And I was sending and receiving e-mails fine too. 
    Today when I opened Mail all my e-mail and folders from my O2 e-mail are gone!!!  I accessed the O2 account via Safari and they are all missing there too.  I have no Timemachine backup as it only happened overnight.  
    Where are all my e-mails gone?????

    Hello yellow ducky,
    As you know, o2 are in the process of moving their broadband system to SKY and this is why you may not get a reply quite as quickly as usual.   I usually phone o2 and I have to say, have had excellent service from them ... only yesterday, one man spent half an hour resetting my router to enable a second device to be used.
    Try the technical department on 0800 230 0202 (you have to go through one of those auto selection processes)  .
    I think they have the facility to replace your lost e-mails from their server.   Just ask.

    Have you updated the firmware you are trying to restore with? Have you updated Itunes?

  • My JVM has gone mad !

    my JVM has gone mad !
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
              long free  = r.freeMemory();
              long total = r.totalMemory();
              long used  = total - free;
              System.out.println("total"+total/(1024*1024));
              System.out.println("used"+used/(1024*1024));output :
    total 1
    used 0
    this output is absurd ! bcause by default JVM eats up 64 MB RAM. how can it show total is only 1 MB ?
    is my JVM corrupted ?
    i want to see my JVM to print 64 MB RAM . how ?

    First, try writing:
    System.out.println("total"+total/(1024d*1024));
    System.out.println("used"+used/(1024d*1024));
    it is already in the code . whats wrong with it ?Uh, uh. There are two "d"'s more, so that you can se a floating-point amount of megabytes.
    Then...
    freeMemory
    public long freeMemory()
    Returns the amount of free memory in the Java
    Java Virtual Machine. Calling the gc method may
    result in increasing the value returned by
    freeMemory.
    Returns:
    an approximation to the total amount of
    mount of memory currently available for future
    allocated objects, measured in bytes.
    how much memory JVM consumes when it starts ?Isn't that exactly what your program tells you ?

  • Mail Spam gone mad

    Mail spam filtering is too strong!
    I ask here, as I don't mind delving into XML files and doing search and replace with Textwrangler if someone has an idea how to isolate what is spam and what is not.    So is there a file I can edit that forces it to only consider certain keywords and e-mail addresses spam?
    I want to create an automatic filter that is neither too strong, nor too weak.
    Thank you.

    Hi Tim.
    This kind of problems are caused by some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. Try this first:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
    2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
    3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    4. Reset the junk database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).
    Alternatively, instead of (or in addition to) disabling/enabling the junk filter, you may try switching from Automatic to Training mode, quitting Mail, then switching back to Automatic mode.
