Missing Attachments (that aren't really missing)

I have set up my Gmail account (using IMAP) on Mail (1.3.11). However, I noticed a few days ago that every time someone sends me an email with one or more attachments, Mail mysteriously drops one of the attachments. There doesn't seem to be any relationship between the kind of attachment (doc, picture, pdf, etc). It just (randomly?) fails to identify one of the attachments. It's quite strange. I know that the attachments are there because if I use the Gmail web-interface, all the attachments are there, no problem. But if I look at my Gmail account using Mail, one of the attachments is always missing. If the email has only one attachment, Mail shows zero. If the email has two attachments, Mail shows one. If the email has three attachments, Mail shows two. Etc.
Any ideas about what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

I have similar problems that seem to have just surfaced. My mail server is a Windows Exchange server and I use IMAP with three clients: Mac PowerBook G4 (PB), Blackberry (BB), and MS Office Web Access (OWA).
On both the OWA and BB, I've seen zero issues. Using Mail (version 2.1.3 (753.1/753)), I get seemingly random "missing" attachments. By "missing" I mean:
1) The attachment icon is not present (no paperclip)
2) The attachment is not in the message body, either embedded or as a file icon
3) If I "View" -> "Message" -> "Raw Source" I see lots of binary data indicating the attachment really is there, but is not being rendered properly, apparently.
This has happened with PDF files (twice) and a Word document (once) in the last three days. The message with the Word Doc also included a second attachment (an Excel file) that rendered fine and was displayed. That is, that message at first appeared to have just a single attachment. However...
Strangely, the attachment(s) will re-appear at a later time (many minutes or hours later), the paper clip icon will then say "1 item" or "2 item" and things look great.
It's very bizarre and to me, very recent behavior.

Synchronize Folder problem - LR finds missing photos that aren't missing

A bit of background:
I decided to dive in and clean up a big 40K catalog I have. This involved:
Moving images around
Creating new folders
Renaming existing folders
Renaming all photos
All of this was done within LR to avoid problems. But now, everything is working fine, LR does not complain that there are missing photos EXCEPT when I try to synchronize a folder.
The strange this is there is no question mark on the images and when I use the Find Missing Photos, LR tells me that there are no missing photos.
But when I try to synchronize a folder (any), it finds all the images as new images and suggests to remove the missing photos (both matching the exact number of images). Obviously I don't want to do that and loose my edits...
I found some information here, it seems to be an old bug but no solutions work for me... I really don't want to go back and redo all this work. Is there a magic trick?
Thanks!

Thanks but this a completely different problem. You are referring to the "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separated photos" setting that I have unchecked purposely and I do not shoot RAW + Jpeg anyways.
Your issue is a normal behavior. LR assumes that Jpeg+RAW shooters will only required the RAW to be imported in LR unless you change that setting.
My problem was a very specific instance where the volume name did not match case with the folder names in LR. As soon as I fixed that, it went back to normal.

Files that iLife needs are missing Files that iWeb needs are missing

Well, I seem to have a problem that was in other threads, but they really didn't resolve the issue - just got lucky.
When opening either any iWork app or iWeb, I get the following message: "Files that Ilife needs are missing".
This occured after an archive install, but I have removed any file/library remotely connected to IWeb and (several times) reinstalled ILife from the DVD.
I tried the install iWork demo workaround - no luck!
iMovie, iDvd, iTunes all work OK.
What are the critical files in this case?
How do I resolve this?

OK, I fixed it
1. Use AppDelete to delete all programs installed by iLife
2. Download iLifeSupport
3. Show Package contents, open "installers" and run each of the installers (5) then run iLifeSupport.dist
4. Reinstall iLife
Did it for me, but it took a while

AppleTV and compilations that aren't really compilations

In my iTunes library on the Mac, I have a number of greatest-hits-type albums that used to be marked as compilations. I unmarked them quite some time ago, and cleaned up my library in other ways, and I now have that working just the way I want it. Problem is, on the AppleTV which is sync-ed to that library, quite a few of these still appear under Compilations.
I have read through other forum posts that have a problem with compilations not being treated exactly the same way between the AppleTV and iTunes. That's not quite my concern here. I wonder how I can get the AppleTV to recognize that these albums are not compilations at all.

I have songs that are part of compilations. I don't care and I don't see the point of removing the compilations check mark because the songs show up under Artist and Albums.
I select one song in a compilation to see what happens with removing the compilation check mark.
1. I open the compilation on the AppleTV and see the song there with others.
2. I selected the song on my iMac itunes and removed the compilation check mark.
3. Looked on the AppleTV and it was still in the compilation.
4. Went out to the menu and back to My Songs and Compilations and it was still there.
5. Back at my iMac selected sync
6. Looked on the AppleTV and it was still in the compilation.
7. Went out to the menu and back to My Songs and Compilations and it was no longer there.
The song is not listed in the compilations but still shows up in Artists and Albums.
In my iMac iTunes I use custom sync for the AppleTV, and in the Music tab I have selected Sync Music and Selected Playlists, Artists, and Genres.
Hope this helps. ..Bob

Music App showing artists that aren't really on my phone

I updated to IOS 7 (unfortunately) and now my music app lists a single track from several artists that I've never had on my phone or even had on my computer or cloud. When clicking on the song, it just gives me the option to download it from the cloud (which I don't even use and have never used or saved any music to).
Is this just Apples new bogus way to basically advertise within one of their own apps, or does anyone know how I can turn this off? I want to go into my music app and only see the songs which I loaded onto my phone, not a random mix of songs that apple recommend!!! I listen to rock, alternative, and folk music and it is showing Mandy Moore for Christs sake!!
How do I make it stop?!?!

I want as many songs as will safely fit on my phone without interfering with phone operation. So I have a smart playlist that selects 6 GB of songs randomly - and once per month I delete all of the songs from a dumb playlist that is synced with my iPhone and copy these into it. By hand. On a device that is more powerful than mainframes I worked with in the 1960s. I do the same thing with my iPad, only with a much bigger song list (and far more apps). I haven't done that procedure you mention above in maybe a year, but in the past it only had limited success in removing "other". Some "other" is used by apps. I am too cheap to have my songs on the Cloud using up bandwidth every time I want to play them.
Still - when I delete an app that doesn't get installed due to space limitations - if it won't delete, that's a bug (a bug that has been around for years). And I'd like to find an easier way to get around that bug.

Really missing the 7-row

When I bought the W530, I was concerned the the chicklet, island style keyboard was gonna be a problem. It turns out that its not so bad at all. Its not as responsive as my previous T61 keyboard, but still much better than most chicklet's that I've tried.
The real problem is the new 6-row keyboard. I do a bit of programming, and I'm finding that I'm really missing the 7-row. I was quite good with the HOME/END/INS/DELETE/PGUP/PGDN keys in the upper corner. Now, they've got them all on one line, making it hard to use, and they've also separated the PGUP/PGDN and moved it by the arrow keys. I'm not a fan of this at all.
Guess now I'll have to learn VIM

Seriously.

Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

Files disappeared from library, "missing" files not really missing

I had a folder with 3 files in different formats for each image. These were imported several days ago, grouped into stacks, captioned, tagged, etc. and synced to the files. They continued to exist in the library some time afterward, but today when I opened lightroom all of the jpg versions of all of the images and all 3 formats of one image in particular had vanished from the library. It did not claim that it could not find them on disk (and in fact the files *do* still exist on disk right where they should), they just didn't show up. I was able to re-import all of the jpg images without trouble, but for the other two formats of the one missing image, importing one of them fails because it "already exists in the library," and the other one is willing to import but then doesn't show up in the folder or the recently imported files list. When I try to synchronize the folder, it suggests that I import that file, but it never actually does. Since importing the jpgs, it also suggests that I remove 53 "missing" files, the number of jpgs imported. When I view the missing files in the library, it shows only 2 of the jpgs, one of which belongs with the files that will not import and neither of which is actually missing--they can both be synchronized just fine by clicking the little synchronize icon on the actual photo.
Does anyone know what's going on here and how I might be able to get the files that won't import back into the library? And how to be sure that files won't just go away on their own again?
Edit: to be clear, missing versions of files were definitely not stacked with the other ones and the "don't import duplicates" box was not checked when re-importing the ones that won't re-import

I managed to get the photos that wouldn't import back in by deleting them directly out of the database and then reimporting them into lightroom. I'm a little concerned that they disappeared in the library view in the first place, though. Does this sort of thing happen often, and under what circumstances? I'm still in the free trial period and was very close to buying the program, but now I'm not so sure. If I'm using an application to manage my photos, I want to know that it's actually managing all of the photos I put into it and not randomly forgetting about them.
I'm still having the not-really-missing files problem, though. I think it may actually be because they got associated as "sidecar" files somehow and are now in there twice, once as the sidecar file and another time as a separate jpg image. I'm not really sure why only one of them shows up in the missing images view, I think it might be because I edited that one so it's in a slightly different state from the others? If there are any tips on how to resolve that state, I'm all ears, I'd like it to stop telling me I have 53 missing files when I don't.

Im running a mac air with osx 10.9.2 and i tried installing a legal version of windows 7 OEM but it tells me that support drivers are missing so i have to cancel installation and do the option cmd p r to get it to boot.

when i use boot campcamp it gets to installing then it tells me that support files are missing. how can i install w7 in boot camp on a make air osx 10.9.2 i am using a iso win 7 sp1 image and the copy is legal. it get stuck on saying it cant find support drivers. I dont like windows 8 and would rather use w7 (i dont like windows at all but need it for using VB for a class at school) can i install a linux version like scientific instead of windows ? if i can ill just buy a cheap PC to use VB on

i have a usb super drive can i use that instead ? i dont have another usb stick and the one i have has 27G of data on it and tranfering it takes time. I can buy one if thats the only way to do it on a mac air but i figure i have the super drive and could put the w7 support files on it and i have the w7 on disk and iso img saved on the mac.
BTW
Thank you for helping me. I know it can be a pain in the butt helping people when the tasks seems so straight forward. I really appriciate your time

TS1424 Who do I contact in regards to a faulty album download? Specifically, a duplicate track and a missing one that is available as "album only"

Who do I contact in regards to a faulty album download? Specifically, a duplicate track and a missing one that is available as "album only"

Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to try 'redownloading' it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Are mailboxes and smart mailboxes really missing?

Just got my new iPad. Set up mail. Am I missing something, or is creating mailboxes and smart mailboxes really absent here? If so, then it's really not going to be possible for me to jettison my laptop top as I was hoping to do. In which case, color me majorly disappointed.

Thanks for confirming that I wasn't missing some in context aspect. (I see from another reply that it may be possible to set up Mailboxes within Mobile Me and have them appear on the iPad). As to research, I assumed in buying at this early stage that it would be evolving -- and that Apple will be watching closely to see which additional features to tweak/add. So I've also gone to their feedback page to request this one, plus an ability to view more than 200 msgs at a time.
