My ipad 2
suddenly quit retrieving my Yahoomail. I have checked my settings and done all suggestions, except deleting and restarting my Yahoo acct. Yahoo says I would loose all my data. Please fix this. What to do?
You can safely delete your account FROM YOUR IPAD with no issues what so ever. I've done it a few times.
Go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete the account and then re add it. (What yahoo means about losing your data is if you close down your account with them, not just off your devices)
If you do remove it from your iPad, it will delete hte data. But just off your device. (at least taht's been my experience). Once you readd hte account it'll redownload the mails.
Or you can also just wait. Yahoo has been 'improving' their servers and have been causing randomly persistent outages for months now. Usually when they are working on the server your mail is on, you have issues.
You can wait them out or find work arounds. For example, even if hte mail app messes up, you can still use safari to access your mail.

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.
Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I need to know why firefox is so unreliable to use when it keeps crashing I will take it out of my computer if not fixed properly.
Do you have either Roboform (version 7.6.1 or older ?) or Trusteer Rapport extension?. As both have been known to cause crashes upon Firefox startup.
Also you could try Firefox 8.0.1 from mozilla.com (8.0 to 8.0.1 only being served to Mac users). -

Mail suddenly started retrieving e-mails starting from 1st e-mail on Server
L.S.,
I'm using the mail.app version 4.2 with POP and have been downloading my mails without problems.
I do keep the mail on the server and was at about 8000 mails on the server.
Suddenly when trying to download, the mails started downloading from the first mail.
I've stopped the downloading and am having issues, as I'm using a web-interface to read the mails and responding in mail.
I deleted the extra mails that were downloaded and from the mailbox which were the last ones to be downloaded and are duplicates and then die a Rebuild.
This took care of removing the duplicate mails and also re-indexing my mailbox.
However when trying to download again it keeps on starting from the first e-mail.
Is there a way to get it start from where the latest not download e-mails start?
Thnxs for your help.
AlecioI went back to the vendor of the mailserver software to check your suggestion.
Their answer was as follows:
+There is no POP information stored on the server in regards to what e-mails have been downloaded or not, this is handled by the e-mail client. The client stores this information and could have become corrupt.+
Possible reasons for this to happens according to the vendor's support were:
+Have you made any changes to your connection within Apple Mail ?+
I don't recall making changes to the connection with my Apple Mail.
While abroad I recall that using one of the hotels providers, I was unable to send mail but that has to do with SMTP and shouldn't have any impact on the POP.
I needed to use their mailserver to be able to send as I was getting relaying problems and maybe there is where something might have gone wrong.
+Has the IP address of the server you connect to changed at all ?+
The IP address of the mailserver never changed.
I asked for an indication on where this info could be for Mail.app where I received the following answer.
+I am not sure of the file in which this stores in AppleMail. In outlook it is stored in a database file called Pop3uidl.dbx - There may be something similar to that in your file structure.+
After this answer I went to investigate further what could be done.
I went into the directory ~/Library/Mail and found amongst others the file MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Googling this I got more confused as unfortunately when the early adopters upgraded to Snow Leopard, mail had a mishap and this was part of what was being reflected in the postings and also the suggestion to move from POP3 to IMAP to circumvent this issue.
I'm on Snow Leopard and waited until the patch was released that took care of the mail issue, to upgrade. So that is one issue less to take into consideration.
Going to IMAP is not an option either, as all of my POP mail is local and all the mail I have would not be together. Furthermore I did finally decide to integrate my gmail account into mail and this has caused my mailing to become unbearably slow (2nd issue).
Not having an option according to the write-ups, I decided to check what could be done with sqlite as MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 is a sqlite DB.
Didn't get anything when trying to load the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
As the last resort I have to delete MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and I will get all the files back which are on the mailserver according to the write-ups.
This means that I have to get rid of the already existing files that will be downloaded.
So I decided to start doing that. Then I saw that for INBOX.mbox and Sent Messages.mbox apart from the Messages directory, an Attachments directory also exists and I saw that the messages that have attachments, these attachments are kept in a directory of the name equal to the name of the .elmx, that no other mailbox seems to have these attachment directories and that for Sent Messages.mbox the attachments are incidentally copied into its Attachment directory.
Fortunately I don't have to take care of that as only my INBOX counts for the messages I have to retrieve.
I suspect that there are inconsistencies in the application as I couldn't find a correlation on the reason for having only a small portion of the sent attachment in the Attachment Directory for Sent Messages.mbox and not all.
I have not started retrieving the mails from the mailserver yet.
Is there something else I need to take into consideration before taking the jump? As I see files like DefaultCounts etc.
Do I need to take care of other files?
Something else that bugs me is that even though I deleted all the .elmx files in the INBOX.mbox of which I have a copy on the mailserver, I still keep seeing the e-mails.
Scanning the system for the elmx's that may exist for those e-mails I don't find anything. Who can explain this to me?
*Resuming I have the following issues:*
*- Is what I have done by eliminating the already downloaded e-mails including attachments “if they exist” of which I have a copy on the Mailserver enough?*
*- What could have caused my mail to become slower when implementing IMAP (gmail account) in combination with POP3?*
*- Is the inconsistency with attachments legit?*
*- A small explanation of why I have the deleted e-mails still at my disposition, while they were physically deleted (.elmx) ?*
Thanks for your reaction

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera
iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed
I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

Why Can't My iMac Retrieve E-Mail from Yahoo?
I am having persistent difficulties consistently connecting to Yahoo! in order to send and retrieve e-mail. Nothing has been changed except the password, which I've updated. I can retrieve e-mail from my Yahoo account via Safari, but for some reason my iMac's mail application cannot.
Does anyone have any ideas?
FredHave opened Mail, under Mail select Preferences, select the Yahoo account and delete the password and the renter it? Some times it is necessary to delete the account then reestablish the account info to clear problems.

Retrieve e-mail from Entourage
Hello there,
I just upgraded to OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro, and found out my Microsoft Office 2004 no longer is compatible with it. Does anyone know how I can retrieve e-mails from Entourage. I had some important e-mails saved in folders. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GuillermoInstall Office 2008 or 2011 and it will import the mail.
Otherwise, I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products and the MS forums are obviously geared more toward your question.

The problem is that when I check "email authentication" to retrieve my password, they DON'T send me an e-mail. Also, when I check "Answer Security Questions" and I enter my birthdate (which is the same in all my e-mail ids), they tell me invalid birthdate. I have been trying this for a long time, there is no way I can retrive my password and a lot of my apps are linked with this id and because of this issue, I'm not able to update them.

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
