Mail imported into INBOX.mbox don't show up in Mail InBox

I had to use another Mac while getting a newer iMAC, and I saved all the mail on that folder, networked the two computers, and dragged the mail into the Library/Mail/pop-server.../INBOX.mbox/Messages.
I can see the messages that I had on the iMAC originally, and now I've dropped in the messages into the same folder. I can open each one individually if I want in that Messages folder, but even after restart, they don't show up in my Mail InBox.
What am I missing?

You’re missing that tinkering with the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder is not the same as importing messages into Mail.
Mail 2.x keeps a reference to every message in a file called Envelope Index. You cannot tinker with the contents of ~/Library/Mail/ without taking Envelope Index into consideration and expect that to work. The right way to import mailboxes into Mail is doing File > Import Mailboxes.
That said, you may be able to fix the problem by rebuilding the affected mailbox, i.e. select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

Importing .mov files - clips don't show up!

Hi!
I'm pretty new to macs, I've been on PCs for my entire life. So bear with me! I've been following tutorials and searching everywhere but nothings working.
First, I created a video clip in PhotoBooth. I did this using my Macbook's internal camera. It was saved as movie1.mov
Then I went to iMovie and I created a new project. Then I went and imported movie1.mov from Photobooth. Well okay it says it imported it but NOTHING shows up! I can't see any sections of my video I just imported.
I've tried switching the views, switching EVERYTHING I can think of.
Why can't I see the clips?
If Photobooth doesn't work well what should I use then?
This is driving me CRAZZZY! Where is it??

Hey There!!!!
I did figure out how to import from photo booth and its quite simple. All you have to do is drag the clip straight from photo booth into one of your events in iMovie.
You can use iMovie to record clips thought. For your purposes it would be easier. Here is how to do that...
1. Open iMovie
2. Click on the Camera Import Button (left hand side under the projects Library. Looks like a video camera)
3. A widow will pop up. Make sure you are set to use *Built-in iSight* (select using drop-down arrow in the left hand corner)
4. When you are ready press *Capture Button*. It will ask you what event to put your clips. You have the option of making a new one or adding the video to an existing one.
5. Once you select your event your video will be recorded. When you are done press the stop button
5. Once you are finished press the done button and the window will go away. From there you can find, edit and view your clips using the event library.
I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions about this or my instructions I'll be happy to help.

Songs in folder won't import into library unless done manually

I have 8K songs and when i drag or import the entire iTunes music folder into the window or command-O, most of the songs are not recorded in the library that iTunes builds. It has never done that before. All the files are correct formats, including ones bought from the iTunes store. I've tried all sorts of things... any ideas?

A lot of my music came from my ex boyfriend who put them in my laptop via an external harddrive after we broke up (We had been sharing a computer/music before then). Also, a lot of my music came from CDs that I ripped directly into my computer, but I converted all of those to MP3s, and most of them are working. The rest of my music came from soulseek.
The weird thing is that I cant find any pattern to the songs that won't add to my library. For example, I have a folder called "Cake - Comfort Eagle" which contains all the songs from the comfort eagle album. They were all downloaded at the same time, have the same file extensions, are all MP3s, and are in the same folder, but only the first 4 songs of that album will add into my library. I tried adding the rest of the songs from that album individually, but they won't work. I can listen to all the songs just fine in winamp, so i dont think the files are corrupted or anything.

Pictures Don't Show Up

I just installed the trial of LR3 and I'm already having problems. When I try to "import" photos, my pictures don't show up. All that shows up in the preview thumbnails are grey boxes where my pictures should be. LR acts like it is loading my pictures, but when the pictures should be fully loaded, there are only grey boxes. If I hit "uncheck all" they will begin to re-load, but still the pictures will not show up. If I go to "Develop", the levels and such of the photo will show up and I can alter them, but it doesn't do anything because the photo I am editing is just a grey space! I tried altering the preferences for the file types to see if that may be it, but the pictures still did not show. I also tried using different folders of photos, but they all did this weird grey space thing. Any help?

Parameter fields don't show up on the report

Post Author: Roman
CA Forum: Exporting
Hello,
We upgraded our development platform from VS 2003 to VS 2005 and one of the components which uses crystal report. One issue we can not resolve so far is the parameter fields which are inserted into the reports don't show up (empty) when reports are converted into PDF files.
Thanks a lot,
Roman

I assume they show up on the report preview, you may want to change the font for the param fields. And just out of curiosity, if you try putting the Parameter fields someplace else, do they show up then ?

I have a Nikon S6300 and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in events or photos only in recent imports

I just purchased a Nikon S6300 camera and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in either photos or events only in recent imports.
I have Snow Leopard on my MacMini.

Control-click one of the photos under the Recent import and select "Show Event" in the contextual menu. Or you can use the View ➙ Sort Events menu in the Events mode to reset the sort order so the new import will be either at the top or bottom of the list.

I am facing problems with mails after update iPhone 4S/io7. I have configured yahoo mail in iPhone 4S. When I click on refresh, it shows new mail downloaded but when I go inside inbox the new mail don't show up. Can anyone help me with this iOS 7 issue ?

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

I just imported some images into a folder in LR 2.6 (first time) & they don't show.

I just upgraded from LR 1.x to 2.6. I imported some of my RAW images into a specific folder (800 of them) and they showed up fine, right where I wanted them. I then proceeded to download another 100+ RAW images from a different folder into the same folder in LR. The folder on the left side tells me there are 921 photos in that folder, but I can only see the last 100 that I have imported. Why can't I see the previous imports into that same folder? Both the folder and subfolder tells me I have 921 images. Where are the other 800? Thanks!

This is normal behaviour: When you import you only see the imported photos , even when these are added to a existing folder.
When after importing you click on that folder you will see them all.

Hello,
I wish to describe the problem with the display of imported certificates in certificate manager in the latest version of firefox.
Here is the sequence of events as it occurred -
1. Few weeks back i installed my Personal Certificate which was automatically visible in the Certificate Manager of Firefox.
2. Few days back i installed Penango.
3. Two days back i installed Comodo free email certificate in Internet Explorer. Then i exported it (Personal Information Exchange with key & with chain) to a folder. Then i opened the Certificate Manager in Firefox and imported it successfully along with the keys (as per the window notification during importing). However the certificate is not visible in the certificate manager of Firefox.
Kindly help in resolving this issue.
Thanks.

Yes, i have checked according to "Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates ". Only one of my personal certificate is shown. In total i have 4 personal digital certificates. All 4 are shown in the certificate manager of my other browsers (Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome).
And yes another import of the other three certificates showed that the they are already installed.
If you need any more information please feel free to ask me.
Thanks for your help.

Break mail into "chunks" for importing into Entourage?

Hello,
I currently have a mail.app account that is around 10GB in size. Mail.app is giving our studio far too much trouble (especially when upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0) and we're switching to Entourage. The problem I'm having right now is that Entourage limits its mail database to 4GB, thus I can't import my mail.app account. Is there a way to break up my mail.app account into more manageable (3GB) chucks for importing into Entourage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

OPEN LETTER TO THE MAIL 2.0 CODING TEAM. RSVP.
with thanks to DAVID GIMENO GOST, for answering so many people's posts about all the mail 2.0 bugs.
hi guys,
i love all things apple, and i have done for twenty years.
but with respect, your build of mail 2.0 really could be a lot better.
moving my mail from 1.0 on an ibook g3 running os X 10.3.9, over to mail 2.0 on an intel macbook 1.83 running os X 10.4.7 has been a nightmare.
the discussion boards of many mac sites feature countless cases of people making the move from 1.0 to 2.0, with all their e-mails disappearing.
having spent two weeks reading the knowledge forums, and learning about emailchemy, plus all the complications which, even with that third party program, still exist in moving one's mail over from version 1.0 over to 2.0, are both massive and horrendous.
and that's for me, who has twenty years of finding my way around mac bugs.
but this one is the most difficult i've ever seen, as well as being one of the most widespread problems in a FULL VERSION RELEASE of an apple program, which apple has done nothing to resolve during the six months in which this problem has been widespread in the mac community worldwide.
so thank god for DAVID GIMENO GOST !
i'm amazed that apple still hasn't come up with a patch for moving mail from 1.0 to 2.0.
even now, while i've finally got all my mail back today, 95% is showing as unread, due to the last obstacles in the process, which i can no longer face solving.
i've also lost hundreds of red mail flags during the transfer :o(.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, guys:
we shouldn't need to be buying third party software to move our e-mails from apple mail 1.0 up to apple mail 2.0, and even then be faced by massive hurdles to overcome, which take weeks for someone who at least has SOME idea of what he's doing.
i pity all the people who read the numerous forum posts about how difficult it is to transfer their mail from 1.0 to 2.0, and simply give up on the spot, and have to start their e-mail history TODAY, unable to access their previous e-mail again - potentially now for ever.
because the ironic joke is that we can't even have an access copy of mail 1.0 on our macs to read our old e-mails, unless we hack that program out of the 10.3 cd installation set, which the gurus on your own web site recommend us NOT to do !
so what are we supposed to do, to access our old e-mail, which we can't open, even though YES, it is in our mail folder, and YES, we did full rebuilds of every mail folder, and YES, we trashed our mail preferences first.
e-mail is now at the very center of the average mac user's digital life.
a user's most important program should not require countless hours scrolling through the astonishing number of problems within mail 2.0, which the apple.com discussion boards evidence, with new problems being added every day.
please sort this out, and build a patch, for the sanity of the many people who love apple, but who are unable to access any of their old e-mails.
because i wouldn't wish the last fortnight on anyone else.
RSVP, APPLE.
with best wishes to everyone on the infinity loop,

ps: if you're a mac user who has been affected by the mail 2.0 disappearing bug, please post a reply to this message, and send me an e-mail to: [email protected], so that we can draw apple's increasing attention to it. thanks.

Exchange Account in Mail - lot's of email don't show up

Hi
I have some confusing experiences Mail with my exchange email account (hosted as an exchange account by the German hosting Provider 1&1) - which worked fine for a long time.
Recently I experienced the following effects:
Email don't show. They are not lost. If I use a web browser to access my account with the Outlook Web App, all email are there. Mail shows always the most recent emails (from about one month) but not more.
If I switch between different email accounts in Mail (I also manage imap accounts and my .me account in Mail) and then back to the exchange account all or most email don't show anymore. If I close and reopen Mail the most recent emails show up again.
It's not a matter of disk space (about 400 GB free), I did the usual stuff like disk repair and check permissions.
I'm thankful for any ideas.
Best

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Quits while importing; pictures in library folder don't show in window

Quits while importing; photos are in iPhoto Library, but don't show up
I have about 6500 photos in iPhoto 5.0.4. Everything worked well until this week when I went to import a series of new pictures. I import from a Scandisk card reader.
The process appeared to go well until the progress bar showed 1 photo remaining. After a time the application quit.
I tried again with the same result, several times.
I tried rebuilding the library. It appeared not to work.
I copied the library to another disk drive and tried to create a new library and copying back the pictures into the new library. It didn't work.
I trashed the software and reinstalled it, then copied the old pictures into the library and the new ones from my camera. Then I had to recreate the albums I had before. It worked.
This morning I shot more pictures and tried to add them to the library. Déja vu. It got to one picture remaining and quit.
I rebuilt the library. This time it seemed to work. The "new" pictures were still in the library folders on the hard drive but did not show up on the screen (one for each time I'd tried to load them with _1, _2, etc. added to the name, for each additional attempt, including the last one in the series).
I tried to add to the library. It quit at the one photo remaining point again.
Suggestions, please.
Alex Norton

Hi Alex,
Two things to suggest:
-Try a different card reader
-Use Image Capture to import your images to the computer. You will have much more control. Once images are downloaded you can put them in dated folders then import the folders to iPhoto.
This is my preferred method and is what I do.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Keywords imported but don't show up with photos

I am not getting keywords to show up with imported photos. i've done a lot of searching on this and other forums to try to figure out what is different about my situation but to no avail. here's what I've deduced though:
the keywords will import if I deselect “Copy the items to the iPhoto Library”. But if I leave the default box checked", I will not get keywords associated with the photos.
(the rest of my discussion deals with a library where the imported photos ARE copied to the library)
Interestingly, the keywords ARE imported into iPhoto (if one looks at the keyword list); they just aren't attached to the photos (i.e. clicking <Get Info> shows no keywords, as opposed to them being there but just not showing up on the screen with the image). Most (but not all) of my imported photos show up in iPhoto without any keywords attached. Most Events are all-or-nothing; i.e. all the photos of the event either have keywords or don’t. At least one Event is a mix. I cannot make any sense as to why some do, as the ones that do will be part of an event that all the other photo's don't show the keywords; additionally, neither the ones with nor the ones without keywords share any common feature or change (e.g. edited, rotated, file type, keyword/tag name, etc.).
I'm a pretty basic user when it comes to photos (but with a fair amount of common sense and computer knowledge); not trying to do anything fancy here. I don't know much about photography, so I'm not manipulating photo settings on my camera and am not (purposefully/knowingly) manipulating the metadata directly from the file. So, I'm baffled as to why my system would be acting differently than any other "out of the box" iMac.
In case it matters:
-- the photos being imported originated from a Windows-based PC and tagged by Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have the same problem regardless of whether I export them (using Photoshop) to a file on the iMac or directly import them over the network from the PC using iPhoto.
-- (Using iPhoto Library Manager) I created another iPhoto library to see if the same thing would happen with photos imported to a different library -- same problem. (BTW, I checked the new library's Keywords BEFORE I imported to make sure the keyword "library" wasn't somehow replicated from the previous library.)
-- In one of your forum discussions, you said that these “copies” would be in the “Originals” folder within the iPhoto package, right? If so, then they are the same size as the files being imported minus a few KBs, presumably due to the lack of associated keywords.
I assume that these "copied" files are suppose to retain their keyword/tag info. Any ideas why they aren't and/or what I can do about it? I tried rebuilding the database too but that didn't do any good. I'm figuring on trying to reimport everything again, but I fear I'll get the same result.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and see if the keywords show up. If not, then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Some contact e-mails don't show up in groups

Yosemite 10.10.2 OS. Contacts v 9. Macbook Air. I just finished dragging some contacts into a group to use for sending group e-mails. When I go to edit distribution list so I can select which e-mail address from each contact I want to set as default, there are a few contacts who are missing some or all of their addresses. I have checked the contacts email addresses and they are all properly formated [email protected], but for some reason they are not on the list. For contacts with no e-mails showing in the distribution list, they not only do not allow me to select a default e-mail, but those contacts don't show up in the e-mail at all

Never mind. Just found the place to change this under settings. What's weird is the setting got changed on its own somehow but weirder things have certainly happened...
