Mail reset after hard shutdown...No access to all my emails!

I had my mail application open and was using the Firefox web browser when the browser froze up. I had to do a hard shutdown and then restart the computer. When I restarted, i attempted to open my mail application and was prompted to "set up" my mailbox. I now have no access to all of my past emails. What can I do? Thanks!

What exactly did you do -- if you had only setup the account again, but declined to import anything, Mail should have rediscovered the account folder(s) which at that point would have still existed.
In the Finder, after quitting Mail, open Home/Library/Mail and see what account folders are present.

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

Mail 6.3 (1503) How can I have all sent emails automatically sent to my in box?

Do you mean you want all the emails that are now ending up in the Sent mailbox to end up in the Inbox?
If that is what you want to do, you can create a Rule. Go to Mail /Preferences / Rules, and select Add Rule.
You create the rule there, and Mail will follow it.

Mac App Store starts only after hard shutdown

Hi,
i have the following problem after upgrading to lion (in fact, everything worked fine for a few weeks):
the mac app store freezes around 10 seconds after starting. usually it loads a few descriptions and pictures before freezing.
the strange thing is, the app store works (but slowly) if i reboot after a hard shutdown. i repeated this several times now. it doesn't work after a normal shutdown with reboot.
i tried many different things:
- reinstalled lion (using recovery)
- repaired volume (Macintosh HD)
- repaired disk permissions
- removed several third-party applications
- increased free HD space to > 20% of capacity
- created new admin account,
but no change
these problems started around 3 weeks AFTER upgrading to lion
i have a mac book air (end of 2010 version, 4 GB ram, 13")
many thanks for any suggestions

Hi,
After looking a long time online for this problem, I found a solution for it.
Go to the app "Keychain Access" (located in /Applications/Utilities), open Preferences (Comman+,), click on Certificates, and change the value of "Certificate Revocation List (CRL)" from 'Best Attempt' to 'Off'. Quit Keychain Access, and log out so that the changes occur. Log back in to your account and the Mac App Store should work without freezing.

Mail Reset After Kernel Panic- Accounts/Rules/preferences missing

My MbP had a kernel panic this evening and after the restart, I opened mail and got the "Welcome to Mail" message.
Tried restarting again, resetting pram (not sure why, but did), deleting preferences, etc. But all my mail preferences and accounts are missing.
They do still exist in the ~/library/Mail folder
But all my rules, smart folders, custom settings, etc are gone.
Any idea why this would happen?

Just wanted to make a quick reply because I had the same problem happen today, my MacBook Pro running 10.6.6, crashed with a kernel panic while using mail, although after checking the logs, it appears coreaudio caused the crash (had iTunes open in the background, perhaps a problem there?), had to do a force shutdown and restart (this is a very rare occurance that my MBP crashes).
When I started up again, mail would not start directly, instead was asking for details to set up a new account with the 'Welcome to Mail' message.
The fix was to move the mail preferences file (~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist) to the desktop (or trash) and recover the most recent preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) from time machine or other backup to the original location (~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist).
Once I did that, restarted mail and all settings, messages, mailboxes, etc.. were exactly in place with no change (even the message I was typing when it crashed was still in the Drafts folder).
So this fix works as long as you have a back up.
(note I added extra info/explanation into this post for search engine's sake to make it easier to find)

How to recover emails from Mail after account is deleted accidentally. All my emails are now gone and i am standing no where. Can any body help me out by recovering my emails.

After having problem in getting emails from pop server, i thought of removing account and adding it again. Problem was solved but all my previous emails are gone.
Really needed all my emails back. Tried but could went through. Also purchased once software "EaseUS", no further progress was achieved. It only recovered deleted emails which was of no significance for me.
Can any one help me out. I have no "Time Machine" active on my mac book pro.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

HT201342 What is the mail server for iCloud users? I lost all my emails, trouble with email account set-up.

I lost all me emails, what is mail set-up? Mail.me.com?

Incoming is imap.mail.me.com. Outgoing is smtp.mail.me.com (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864). But if you're setting up iCloud mail on OS X Lion or higher, you go to Settings>iCloud and check Mail. This will add the account with the proper settings.

CUE down after hard shutdown

Our UC520 went down hard and CUE is not firing up. I have tried to shutdown, reset, reload various times and it does not come up. The status shows as "recover from error" or "recover from reset/shutdown" depending on if I just issued a reset or reload. When I start a session to it all I get is "Waiting XXX...". Do I have any good options here? Is the module dead or do I just need to re-initialize it?
Thanks,
Diego

Try re-installing the CUE software first. If the problem started after a power outage, then it could be a file corruption on the CUE disk. Hopefully, you have a configuration backup somewhere to restore. If you are unable to get the software to re-install you will likely need to RMA.

TX keeps on resetting after hard reset

I tried to hard reset, but as it was reloading I received the error that there wasn't enough memory space and data would not be kept. What is up?
Thanks Tom Valley MD

Thank you for your response bosskiller.
no performance ? ha, so why did they make AGP 8x ?
I admit there is comercial purposes... and it is rare and in special occasions that agp 8x would be faster with theese series of cards. But there is still some small performance benefits when sending huge raw data to graphic card...
For example, some tests with graphic cards in PCI-Express running only at 4x there is only 20% of performance difference and to 8x only 5%, at 16x is nearly the same. ( you can test this with adding some rubber on the PCI-Express connector of the card. Don't try this at home )
I'm going to try to uninstall the Windows XP SP2 unified AGP driver as told in forums... maybe this could help.
"no performance ? ha, so why did they make AGP 8x ?"
adventures in AGP 8x is quality related,(smoother texture quality) not claimed to be performance oriented. AGP x4 theoretic transfer rate are still enough to do not be a holdback for VGA.
AGP x8 vs AGP x4: http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=604
less than 1% performance differences, in some cases AGP x4 perform faster than AGP x8.

OS 8.6 won't quit or restart after hard shutdown

While testing a G3 266MHz beige mini tower running OS 8.6, the system hung and refused to shut down even when the power button was pressed and held, so I literally had to pull the plug. The operation it hung on was opening a folder containing a large number of files (several thousand) on a mounted volume from an OS 10.4.8 machine. Disk utility and DiskWarrior reported no damage after restarting the machine, however the machine now seems to have a problem: it refuses to shut down or restart from "Special" menu and still refuses to turn off from the power button. I can change the startup disk to a utility volume and run repairs from it, which I just did even though no damage reported, but when booted from the original disk problem is still there. Any ideas as to what's causing this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Seems to be working OK after several restarts from utility volume. Maybe "auto restart after power failure" in Energy saver server settings had something to do with it.

MAIL UPGRADE AFTER HARD DISC

MAIL WILL NOT APPEAR , MESSAGE STATING STSYEM Is MAC OS X sand mail is 4.6?
No probs before upgrade?

Note, my Mail 4.5 is on 10.6.8, maybe 4.6 is part of the 10.6.8 security updates.
And you posted to the 10.8 forum, an entirely different beast.
Upgrading to 10.7 or later is not recommended without reading this first:

ARD - Locked computers unlock after hard shutdown

Hi,
As far as anyone knows is this expected behavior?
If a Teacher locks a computer using ARD, if the student shuts down the computer by holding down the power button and then turning back on, it will allow them to log in and continue using the computer instead of automatically locking again. Ideally, I would like it to automatically lock again as we have students doing that process to continue doing things on the computer the teacher has asked them to stop.
Thanks!

I think this may be the default behaviour (I don't have ARD installed).
Apple Remote Desktop is scriptable - I wonder if the ability to lock machines can be handled in an Applescript? My thinking is that you could create a list of machines to lock & have that run every 5 minutes on the Teachers Mac - it would cause the machine to re-lock after the reboot.
I'd consider making the script use a list of machines so you can just add repeat offenders to that list. Open Applescript editor on the teachers Mac & see if the dictionary has any information for setting a machine to be locked.
The ARD manual has some info on it's scripting abilities.

I had my phone reset after it had disabled itself and all my music i had paid for is gone is there anyway of getting them all back without having to pay for them again?

i had my phone reset and without paying for my music i have already got is there anyway of getting all my songs back?

Depending upon what country that you are in (and if you haven't changed countries since buying it and it's still in your store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone.
You should also be regularly connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so as to copy all of your downloads over so that you can take a backup copy of them (and preferably taking a backup of the phone if you have any important documents and/or photos on it) - apps and other downloads could also be potentially be removed from a country's store at any time, so you may not be able to redownload them either.

Settings reset after shutdown + popup

I don't usually shutdown my 2014 Macbook Air except the occasional freeze but recently decided to do so while I wiped the keyboard clean. Once I turned it back on and signed in, I found all my preferences reset including trackpad set to 'tap to click', dock icons reset to original, etc. It seems like everything was reset to factory settings.
I tried going to Preferences to change the trackpad to 'tap to click' but discovered that it was already set do so...yet I'm unable to 'tap to click'.
The other problem is I get this annoying popup which I've never seen before titled "OSX needs to repair your library to run applications". Even after entering the correct password, the popup reappears. Then I tried just hitting cancel repeatedly until it disappeared. That's when a different popup appeared--something titled "mail chain...enter your password"--can't remember exactly.
This was all occurring on one of my user accounts so I tried switching back to the original Admin account and found the same issues occurring there (the account also reverted back to factory settings).
Any ideas? Your help is much appreciated.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Re-install N97mini after hard-reset

Hey,
I already paid the Software by credit card and downloaded it directly on the mobile phone.
Few days ago I had troubles with my phone and I couldn't start it anymore. After hard-reseting it, it worked again.
Unfortunately all software is gone now.
When I start the Adobe Reader mobile it says "10 days trial" version. Do I have to pay again?
Thanks for your answer

Hey
no you don't have to pay again absolutely, just download it again and insert the code received by mail
Good luck
