Mailbox program on a IMAC.

When I purchhased my IMac back in April the mailbox program was working great & I liked it. However I had to change providers, thus changing my email address. My email still comes into this program, but I can not send anything. If I delete it from the computer I'll loose all my email stuff as mail is going into both accounts. I can view it in both & use the new account thru a link on my computer. I would like to either have it come into this program or get rid of it, but how can I get rid of it without loosing all my email messages, etc. I have tried changing the incoming (imap)& outgoing(smtp) links to the new one but that isn't working. I feel it's just some little thing going on that I've overlooked, but not sure just what. I'd be happy to have only one program for email, not two. It's not a big deal as I don't use the mailbox program that came on the computer but like the idea of mail going to only one place instead of two.

Would like to have my present email address available to use in connection with the program that came with the computer but it doesn't seem to recognise it.
Launch Mac Mail.
From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, email user name and password.
Click: Create
You can add and remove email accounts from that window.

Is there a remote app that will let me open and close programs on my iMac

Hi There,
I know that I can use the Apple Inc "Remote App" to control my iTunes on my iMac - and I really like it for when I am not right at my computer, but I have to have iTunes open on my iMac before I can use it which is a bit of a pain to have to think "Am I going to use iTunes today?" or to run off to my office at the other end of my house when I decide I want music through my speakers and so my question is thus.
Is there a remote app that I can download for iPhone or even iPad lets you open and close programs on your iMac when you are not actually sitting at it. So say I want to open iTunes on my iMac i would do the following
1: Open the remote app on my device (either iPhone or iPad)
2: See a representation of iMac screen on that device (cut down for iPhone)
3: Chose the program I want (iTunes in this case) and it will open on my iMac allowing me to begin using the program remotely on my remote device.
I am not talking about remote desktop or anything here (I don't want to do complicated things on it) just be able to open programs like iTunes so I can have the music play through my home speaker system without having to have all of my programs already running on my mac incase I decide to use them

Does Apple have a trade-in program for 2009 iMac (to purchase a brand new iMac or Mac Pro?

I have an Apple iMac11,1 with 16Gb memory, 2 Tb drive, Superdrive, QuadCore 2.8 I7 processor, ATIU Radeon HD 4850 Graphics board with 512 VRam. I'm considering a new computer (either a new i7 iMac or the MacPro desktop) and was wondering if there is a used market within this community or if Apple has a trade-in program for older iMac's. Does anyone know?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no a trade-in program, but if you recycle it, you will get an Apple Gift Card with the value of the iMac that you can use to buy a new Mac at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store > http://www.apple.com/recycling

My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?

My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, he turned it off and now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. It won't start in safe mode and when I If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?

With a corrupt disk, the install procedure is most likely going to fail.
How old it the disk?
You might be able to reformat it to fix the problem. Of course that means you lose all of your data.
The other alternative is to get a new disk drive and put that in your Mac and install OS X
Then put the old disk drive in an enclosure and see what can be recovered from it.

Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

Normally an Elements purchase is good for both platforms. You should only need to download and install the Mac versions of the programs and install and activate them using the serial number you have from the opriginal purchase.

Re I-Movie. "Communication Error" is what I get when I try and send a clip from my Sony camera to the IMovie program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chips. The IMovie program has worked well for several years - up to now. What has gone wrong?

Re I-MOVIE. I am getting a "Communication Error" when I try and send a clip to the IMovie
program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chip computer. This is the first time in 3 years that the
program has not worked. What has gone wrong?

Hi
Have no idea - But if it is a new problem with exactly the same kind of material that was previously used. Then my trouble shooting guide might help.
If You
• used a new Camera - file codec might be a sort that don't work
• Your main hard disk might get too filled up
Else try
Trouble
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

HT201335 Can I mirror other programs on my iMac other than iTunes

Can I mirror other programs on my iMac other than iTunes with apple tv?

Not currently. Mountain Lion will bring this functionality, provided your iMac is Mid 2011 or later, when it releases later this month.

If the iMac is suppose to be secure from viruses, malware,spyware and other internet threats, then howcome i have seen internet security programs for the iMac?

on the website it clearly stated "It’s highly secure and reliable" and that "You don’t need to buy software to speed it up, keep it safe, or get it to work better." and it also says that "The built-in defenses on a Mac help keep you safe from viruses and malware without the hassle of constant alerts and sweeps." If this is the case, then howcome in download .com, i have seen internet security programs for the imac?
So if one day i accidentelly stumble across a website that has malware in it, will the imac protect me?
Theres this website that i feel to afraid to go to because some people reported a malware threat on that website. But will i be able to safely go to that website with the imacs security?
Im just confused that there are these internet security programs for the imac despite of the imacs built in security.

In addition to Kappy's excellent advice, you need to remember that only you can protect yourself (and your Mac) - for instance, I never go near any torrent site. Not only are most torrent downloads illegal, but quite a few softwares on those sites contain some not-so-nice additions (malware, etc). So, no, your Mac would not protect you there - you need to protect yourself; it is called "responsible websurfing".
I only download software from reputable sites (i.e. the developer); I don't go to questionable sites at all (there is a great plugin for Firefox called "WOT" - it grades the sites from excellent to "poor reputation") - if you use Safari, check to see if it is available there. And I don't download "free" software or music or whatever that costs elsewhere - I pay for it.
And, here is another article you might want to look at:

Disappearing mailboxes after import from iMac (10.7.5) to MBP (10.8.4)

I've been using an iMac (OS X 10.7.5, Mail v 5.3) for all mail functions for years and recently bought a refurb MacBook Pro Retina (OS X 10.8.4, Mail v 6.5). I set up the MBP to import all applications, files, accounts, etc., from the iMac. This all went pretty well, except for Mail. The mailboxes and folders I had set up on the iMac did not appear in the Mail app on the MBP. I managed OK with this setup for awhile, but the other day I decided to try to get all the folders to be the same on both machines, so I imported them via WiFi. After doing so, all but one of the mailboxes on the iMac have been renamed as /Volumes/[username]/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/[mailbox name]. All are empty, except for the one which came through OK. I would like to get those old folder names with the contents inside as they were before.
As for the MBP, the folders appear under /On My Mac/Import/[folder name], and the corresponding emails are found within. Only issue is that there are strangely-named sub-folders, such as /Deleted Messages/F64553E2-9025-47E3-9941-53048CE9B7D1; inside that is a folder named Data; inside that are folders 0 & 1. This goes on for a few more levels until the bottom folder, Messages, shows up with deleted messages, the latest of which is dated 6/23/13 (the most recently dated deleted message in the topmost Deleted Messages folder is 7/5/13). Naturally, I'd like to clean this mess up and, eventually, get all mail folders on both machines synced.
Anyone out there think you might be able to help? Thanks.
BTW, I thought it best to leave out details of any IOS issues with my iPhone mail and iPad mail. I'm mainly concerned with the MBP and the iMac.

Select all your mailboxes on the old Mac, and then select
Mailbox ▹ Export Mailbox...
from the Mail menu bar. Export the mailboxes to the Desktop folder. Transfer to the new Mac.
On the new Mac, import the mailboxes you transferred:
File ▹ Import Mailbox...

Is there a Replacement Program for 2009 iMacs with MXM Graphics Cards?

I have an iMac 24" Early 2009 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 120 256MB MXM graphics card that is freezing and crashing over-and-over, especially when I'm away and it's not connected to my 2nd display! Odd. I've done the usual (cleaned the iMac inside, run fsck, SMC reset, PRAM reset, repair permissions from boot USB, disconnected all peripherals, changed mice and keyboards, changed the HD, reinstalled the OS, run Onyx and so on) and finally decided that it's a faulty graphics card that only a replacement will fix. When I'm home it's more stable when connected via a Displayport DVI adapter to DVI cable to a 24" Dell display. When standalone (like when traveling with my iMac for long stints out of town) it's unusable. It won't run for longer than 30 minutes, often not even 10 minutes, then I get screen artifacts and freezes and then have to fsck to repair the drive before running it again. Only running it in Safe Mode will allow it to run reliably.
However, I believe that I found a stopgap solution. I installed a program which I downloaded after installing XCode called Quartz Debug which has apparently allowed me to disable Quartz Extreme, 2D Acceleration and Quartz GL.
Turning off all Quartz graphics enhancements makes this machine stable if not exactly completely "mac-like" in its performance, but it's at least usable under most conditions for long periods of time. I know of people who have replaced the MXM graphics card on this machine with good effect, but it's an expensive proposition and these cards are apparently few and far between. Has anyone done this?
Based on the large number of nearly identical complaints about this model, both here and elsewhere, it seems like this MXM graphics card is defective or Apple's drivers are defective . . . well maybe, but it very, very predictably crashes when the computer gets hotter and not even _extremely_ hot, but well within what would be normal operating temps for other machines.
I've disassembled and completely cleaned the inside and have replaced the HD with an SSD and removed the optical drive entirely so if anything I've reduced heat-producing devices from the interior of the device installed a fan control and keep the graphics card features mostly turned off.
I've looked for but have yet to see a recall or warranty replacement program for this device and no, I don't have Applecare. I've owned several Apple products in the last two decades and with the issues with Apple products in recent years, it seems like Applecare must be figured as part of any Apple purchase if reliability and ongoing support is desired.
Ironically, I have an Apple IIc and a Power Computing Power Tower 166 that still work just fine, thank you!

This cropped up on my wife's late 2009 model 27" iMac, too. Random freezes were encountered, unable to identify cause for months, then one day it started to become unable to complete a normal boot. Tech Tool Deluxe was the only direct indication as far as diagnostics are concerned. I've NEVER been abvle to get Apple's hardware diagnostic to run from the cloud, and we fianlly got it on a Techs' bench, AHT showed nothing wrong. As you said, Safe boot is the only way to get into the system, and performance under 10.8.5 is glacial.
Now the kicker - we DID have AppleCare, and this phase of the MXM graphics demise hit within 4 or 5 months of AppleCare expiration. There's no longer a flat-rate repair option, Apple doesn't have any stock of the video board to sell as a replacement part (was $169, or $179 w/no exchange) and even refurbs of this paltry (512MB VRAM) board can hit $300. I know Mac users have become 2nd-class citizens in Apple's business universe, but we're now looking at sub-42 month lifespans for hardware? At $2k for a machine that lacks touchscreen option, that's out of line.

How do I run Windows programs on my iMac and my MiniMac?

I have a new iMac and a new MiniMac at the office. Can I run Windows programs on these computers, such as QuickBooks? If so, how do I do it?

If you want to run MS Windows applications on your iMac and Mac Mini you need a license of MS Windows at a minimum. Then you need to decide how you want to run the apps, you can use Boot Camp which allows you to install MS Windows on your computer and then boot your computer as either a MS Windows machine or OS X machine. The advantage of this is there is no cost (except for MS Windows) as Boot Camp comes with every Mac. You will find Boot Camp Setup Assistant in (Applications - Utilities - Boot Camp Setup Assistant). The other solution is virtualization software such as Parallels or VM Ware Fusion. The advantage of virtualization software is you can run MS Windows and OS X simultaneously. This is ideal if you are not doing graphics intensive applications such as 3D gaming, CAD/CAM or 3D renderings. For applications like QuickBooks it would be great.
The downside of running MS Windows on your Mac is that portion of the computer will be susceptible to all the problems PC's have such as Virus's and other malware. So whatever solution you get you need to also get anti-virus software and other anti-malware. The upside is if Windows becomes diseased this in no way affects OS X.
Finally your best solution is to look for OS X versions of your applications. I know there is a OS X version of QuickBooks however I have no idea how Intuit's licensing works, you would need to contact Intuit to ask that question.

How Do I Uninstall a Program from A iMac G5?

I have just moved over to my first apple computer an iMac G5, and i installed a trial version of Sophos Anti Virus software which does not work well, and so I wish to remove it.
The thing is I dont know how you uninstall programs from the Mac system. I am running OS X 10.4.3
Also, can someone plese tell me what Antivirus program is reliable to install.
I have managed to turn on the built in Firewall that is in 'System Preferences' so I guess i don't need to buy another software version as well?
Hope you can advise.
Thanks
drusus.
PS, I have been extreamly impressed how easy it has been to install my printer, graphics tablet and PDA on a Mac system, as this has been very problematic when I used Windows XP Pro.
I think I am now a convert for life!

Hi Drusus
I have never run anything unessential on my mac's for the past four years
(after crossing over from Generic PC to Mac after being hacked in front of my eyes on the windows ME platform. I saw my desktop gradually deleted and the computer left with only the desktop, no icons, and no where to go ! re-started and there was no system left !)
since changing over to Mac like anti virus and such, I just use built in firewall.
Probably have to get a little more cautious as times change though.
Uninstall is just grab the application and throw it in the bin generaly. Just throw away the main folder if there is one of the application you want to un-install there may be some pref files left over but generaly these do not cause a problem.
Probably run disk utility after emptying your trash and press repair disk permissions and that should do it.
But I am no expert at all it is just what works for me.
