Mails vanishing before my eyes

I have 2 iPhones, Noticed that some e-mails were not coming to both phones. Then when I opened my phone I watched as several messages just disappeared even though I hadn't opened them. What the heck is going on. They are not on the .mac server even though they made it through to the phone. How can I retrieve these? Yet these messages never made it to mail on my G5 desktop?
Thanks

There are some utilities for finding out what's taking up the space:
http://www.derlien.com/
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
I haven't checked in a while so I don't know what's free and what's not. Any of them should show you what is taking up the space. Once you find out, post back with what it is before doing anything. There are some things you don't want to delete, but I'm not an expert on just what they are. It sounds like you might have a self-replicating log file or something like that.
Good luck!

Mail message vanishes before my eyes

I received a long message today, with an attachment. I had barely read it when it disappeared. I looked for it all over and found it in the Cloud but as soon as I saw it there, it vanished again.
Anybody understand this????

Look for it in the iCloud junk mail folder. If it's not there, you've fallen victim to a bug that others have reported. I don't know of anything you can do other than to contact iCloud support.

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices. I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently. Any ideas?

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Norton has actually tried to get a update patch out for Firefox 5.0 back on Tuesday (versus taking some six weeks) when Firefox 5.0 was released. However I think some say the toolbar may not work if patch was installed before Firefox 5.0 and not after.

Email vanishes before I can even read it...

I have a serious problem. Been on-going and I haven't found a solution yet.
Incoming email that is vanishing before I can even read it.
Numerous times oI've noticed incoming email notifications on on the pop up notification window on the upper righthand of the screen. I can see who the email is from and the first sentence or so.
But when I go to Apple Mail the email(s) aren't there.
I've checked the junk folder, trash folder even my mailbox on icloud and no email. As if it never happened.
For example I just paid my credit card bill online. I saw an immediate Apple Mail notification from my CC company confirming payment. But when I check Apple Mail the email never made it to my box. Not a sign of it - anywhere.
I go to Apple mail -- no email.
I'm having the same problem with several other incoming accounts. The emails simply refuse to show up in Apple Mail.
Is this a known issue? It's also happening across my synced computers and the ipad. None of them show certain emails showing up.
I use Spam Sieve to manage spam. But it doesn't seem to matter if I uninstall it or if its running or not.
It caused a serious problem a while back. A business associate claimed he had emailed me a dozen times about a project. I would check - no emails anyhere. I finally had him do a test. I would be on the phone and he would push send. I would see the notification come up showing it had arrived. But nothing in Apple Mail. It's driving me crazy. I have no idea how many email addresses are affected.

Here is a webpage with pictures that show what Carolyn is takling about. I usually try the envelope rebuild first since it doesn't download my entire 12GB mailbox again.

Please, please help! Photos in library disappearing before my eyes.

When I open up the iphoto library, my picture thumbnails disappear one after the next--from seemingly random places, though mostly on the right hand side)--before my eyes. My worry is that I am going to loose all my photos.
History: I have never had any problem with my iphoto program. I have never altered, moved, or renamed anything in the iPhoto library folder. I always work from within the program itself. A couple of days ago, I got a message saying I was running out of hard disk space and that I needed to eliminate some items in order to make more space. I clicked on the iPhoto trash and emptied about 2000 photos from it. After that when I scrolled in the library, the photos began to disappear and leave gray shapes with dotted outlines. No picture appears when they are clicked on.
I called the Apple Care support. The fellow I worked with suggested that I should try rebuilding iPhoto and sent me an article on how to do that. He also said that I will need to have as much free space on my hard disk as the size of the library is. The library is 16,000 MB. There are 6,000 MB still available to use. He said NOT to open up the iPhoto program until I had rebuilt the program and then he rang off.
I'm pretty innocent of how computers work and it wasn't until I realized that it's the photos and Quicktime movies from my camera themselves that are filling the disk space and that there isn't much else filling up the disk space (novels and poems and letters don't take up much space it turns out!) that I realized I am in a Catch-22 situation. How to eliminate things when I can't open the program for fear of losing all photos?
I have some but not all photos backed up on DVD. My husband has a selection on his computer but does not have the DVD burner capacity. He could burn the photos he has on a CD, but that would take forever. We do not own an external hard drive, but I am wondering whether I should see if I can find one--that's easier said than done since we live out on a headland in Ireland pretty far from everything. The closer Apple store in five hours away.
One other possibility I've come up with: we have an old PowerBookG4 which still has about 22,000 GB available on it. Could it be used in some way to hold the photos from my computer (The MacBook) as I try rebuilding the iPhoto program on my computer (the MacBook)? We have a firewire.
We are going to Paris next week, and I want to be able to take a ton of photos (my great joy!) without worrying that I'll have nowhere to put them. (Memory cards are expensive here.)
Any help would be very appreciated--thank you in advance. And I'd also be grateful if it were couched in the easiest to understand computer language possible (don't assume I know a whole lot.)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Go to your Pictures Folder. In their is a folder called the iPhoto Library Folder. Inside it is a folder called Originals, and that contains Roll Folders. Your pics should be inside there.
That's: Pictures / iPhoto Library Folder / Originals / Rolls
So, first off, confirm that your photos are there.
2. Yes you do need to clear off disk space, and yes, your iPhoto files and any music you have a good candidates for moving to an external disk. You can purchase an external disk from the online apple Store (http//:www.apple.com/iestore is the Irish AppleStore) Look for the 'Storage' link on the left hand side. They'll ship it to you in three or four days (in my experience)
3. In the meantime, rebuilding your library will require disk space. It's not difficult, and doesn't take very long. If you have Firewire on the old Powerbook then here's what you do:
1. Turn Off the Old Powerbook. Connect it to the Macbook using a FireWire cable
2. Hold down the 'T' key and start the Powerbook. A Firewire symbol will appear on the screen, and the PB will turn up on your MacBook desktop, as an external disk.
3. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder (from your Pictures Folder) to the PB - just drag and drop it to the icon on the desktop.
4. Confirm that your Pictures have crossed over safely. Then double check. And then check again, because...
5. Put the iPhoto Library Folder in the Pictures Folder of the MacBook into the trash and empty it. (Note: Be sure that your pics are on the old Powerbook!!!) (We have to trash the iPhoto Library Folder from the MacBook to make space for the rebuild.)
6. Launch iPhoto on the Macbook. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on the PB and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
This should give you a working iPhoto Library on your Macbook.
But you still have a space problem, and you should deal with it as a priority. Once you have got an external disk, post back and we'll go through how to put your library on to it.

Mail doesn't send e-mail. Before yesterday everything was ok, but now it says that a copy of the message has been sent to "Sending messages" because the contents of the message cannot be send to server. What to do? IMAP should be ok.

Console Window keeps popping up for one second then vanishes before I can read it

a console window (with white letters on a black background) keeps popping up for 1 second and then vanishes before i have time to read it - How can i
stop that, or how can i capture what is written on the console before it disappears (so that I can troubleshoot it)?
I use as x64-bit Windows 8 pro Lenovo T430s.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Andre,
I ran ProcMon and went to the ProcessTree window, but could not find any cmd.exe there (and hence could not see the commandline). (I also watched the video about ProcMon).
The closest I could find in the ProcessTree window was conhost.exe, with commandline showing:
\??\C:\windows\system32\conhost.exe 0x4
I saved the capture trace, at:
http://sdrv.ms/14Dfvjs
Do you see any other leads in there that I could work on?
In the result column, I noticed some "buffer overflow" and "name not found", many associated with "tunmgr.exe" the Blackberry Link Communications Manager.
I also noticed that in the ProcessTree Window, the only two process lines with an End Time are tunmgr.exe and conhost.exe.
the respective command lines are:
for tunmgr.exe:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Tunnel Manager\tunmgr.exe" -Embedding"
for conhost.exe:
\??\C:\Windows\system32\conhost.exe 0xffffffff
- could that be it?
If so, how could one fix that ?

Flashes Before My Eyes!

I downloaded Captivate 4.0 trial and have since purchased and
installed the "real program".
I imported a .ppt for my slides.
I converted .mpg files to .flv with Flash video encoder and
inserted in various slides.
I created a quiz at the end of the presentation in Captivate.
The Captivate file size is 2.8M
Other than making a few cosmetic adjustments, I published to
Flash. Everything worked great. Now, all of a sudden when I try to
publish...even just review...the slides literally flash before my
eyes.
I have 42 slides, 21 of which are a combination of text and
video, the remaining are dedicated to a quiz. I've tried deleting
earlier versions, deleted my browser history, deleted temporary
files...everything I could think of that could possibly be causing
this "slide flashing" at random. Nothing is working. Has anyone run
into this problem before? Don't know if it's something with the
software or my hardware.

The movie fast fowards to the end. But it's not like I can
see each individual slide and it just moves faster than I can read.
The navigation "skin" used to be at the bottom of the slide
and I could either click on the "next" arrow or just move the
"slider" to get to the next slide. Now the navigation is somewhere
at the top, the "next" arrow is in the middle of the page with no
control attached to it and the slides just "flash" until I exit
out.
I am going to attempt to start all over again...maybe there's
a setting I missed...maybe I shouldn't include the quiz at the end
of the presentation, but rather make it a separate file and direct
the last slide to go to that file...don't know at this point.
From what I can remember, when I used the default buttons
within the quiz ("submit" or "back") everything worked fine. When I
went in and changed the defaults to an image button for those same
commands, it went screwey!

How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

How do I delete a voice mail message before listening to the message ?

Hi ,
I see what you mean.This cannot be deleted without calling the voicemail.
You can remove the voicemail if you no longer want this.
Or ring the voicemail from a different number and delete it this way.
Thanks.

Thumbnails disappear before my eyes??

Hi
I've just upgraged to CS5, when I go in to a folder of images using Bridge I can see them all as previews then before my eyes random ones start to disappear and are replaced by the Mac Jpeg logo. What I can't understand is why it is only happening to some. The photos were taken at the same time and are of a similar size? If I purge the cache the same thing happens again, only some the jpegs remain as previews?
All help gratefully received - it's driving me crazy!
Just noticed something the ones that aren't appearing say 'Dot Gain 20%' in the info panel - the other ones say 'Adobe RGB'?
Many thanks
Jim

If I purge the cache the same thing happens again, only some the jpegs remain
as previews?
That is a strange problem, could you specify a bit more. Are they right out
of camera or are the developed using ACR?
Could you provide a screenshot?
And can you try to copy them to a new folder to rule out folder corruption.
And are all the files on your system or do you use a network?

Mountain lion apple mail vanishes mail after reading

after installing mountain lion, mails in apple mail vanish seconds after being readed

Sorry. I don't use Exchange, and I don't recognize the symptoms. Certainly, they do not match my experience with Mail in Mountain Lion. Let me ask a few more questions.
Just to be clear: The messages disappear just after being read, not just after being downloaded? They are visible until you read them?
Corindagal, if Find sees them in the Inbox, I agree that it's just a display problem. Any chance you are reading through a "smart mailbox" set to show only unread messages? Might your Inbox be sorted by read/unread?
Also, what mail reader were you using prior to Mountain Lion? Apple's Mail in a previous system? What level?

IPhone 6 notes disappeared before my eyes

While accessing the notes on my iPhone 6, they disappeared before my eyes. I don't have a yahoo account and they weren't sent to my charter email - any clues as to where I should look next? I'm quite frustrated as there were some important notes there.

Power supply cable melting before my eyes

I finally joined the famed club of the dead power supply owners.
I've had several issues lately with my macbook (while never had any although owner of the very first release of it), mainly with freezing windows, slow reaction time etc.
running Activity Viewer for the past couple days, I could spot mdmimport (Spotlight index daemon) acting quite berserk.
taking up to 97% of my CPU (today it even said it took 128%???).
anyway, I thought it was a fragmented hard drive, giving a hard time to index content, but the weird thing is that I regularly use diskwarrior to adjust the content disposition.
a very weird behavior was that the laptop seemed to start hogging the CPU only on-idle (doesn't that sound a bit odd?).
while the screen was black (after the screensaver timed out) the CPU fan was going berserk, and the power supply was sure close to melting point.
I was saying I kept the Spotlight daemon under control, and noticed that it kept taking all the CPU time.
the curious bit: what the **** are you indexing if maybe only 5 files have changed since yesterday and maybe couple dozens email?
today we got to the boiling point:
I work at some friends' office, go back home, use my laptop on battery.
the battery reaches 3% and I plug the power supply in.
no magsafe light going on, smell, the cable melting before my eyes.
luckily I had some friends with a spare power supply, but had to get to the root of it.
I decided to turn off indexing. ran
%sudo mdutil -i off /
the indexing of the main drive stops.
I've been using my tiger for a few hours already with no visible sign of fatigue, delays, cpu stress.
the cpu fan runs regularly but quite (consider it's a hot weather and my home is at 27ºC).
oh, if you're any curious, do you want to know when all this started?
mh... let me thing...
with one of the most recent Security Updates.
I don't remember which one, but it's not been longer than 10 days. probably a week.
anyone seeing any light in this?

I am convinced that the melting of the magsafe adapter in 99% of the cases is caused by improperly removing your power cord to many times. Don't pull!

1 GB Gone in 15m - Disk Space Ticking Away Before My Eyes

(I have searched the forums here and elsewhere to the best of my ability, and haven't found a discussion of rapid space loss like that here. Forgive me if I've overlooked, and thank you for pointing me in the right direction.)
My disk space is disappearing before my eyes. In the time it tooke me to right the sentence, the count went from 14.77 GB to 14.72. It's only that much because I've been moving things off the drive to create more space. Earlier it ticked all the way down to 65mb, and I couldn't start the computer anymore. I've looked at various threads about freeing space, and I'm applying those suggestions, but the problem is that the space is disappearing almost as fast as I can clear it. I used Whatsize (paid, non-appstore version), and didn't see any enormous strange folders. I did notice that, back when I was at 65mb, Disk Utility showed the disk as having 999 GB on it, while Whatsize said 984.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
