You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

Mail 'not downloaded from the server'

Recently, I have been getting the message
"The message from Xxxxxxx (this is my account name) concerning “Xxxxxxxx (subject of the message)” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
This happens whenever I try to open old mesages, sent or received. But usually only happens after the program has been working fine for a few hours!
If I quit Mail and restart it, all is OK for a while. But it usually happens again.
Can anyone offer a solution, please?
Very many thanks!

Mike,
In addition, the followup if you are using Mail 1.3, and the statement that this message is almost certain to be caused by an Overstuffed Mailbox, typically caused by size and large numbers of messages of diverse types is to see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121837
and the important link it contains of:

There are a few conditions caused by files that might not be needed, if any were leftover from Jaguar's mailbox structure, but somewhat rare. After you read these, let me know what you find, and any questions you may have.

This message has not downloaded from the server is displayed on iPhone and iPad what can I do to retrieve message

'This message has not been downloaded from the server '. What can I do to retrieve this message ?

No fix, but I found a work-around at http://www.bitcraft.com.au/iphone-mail-app-says-this-message-has-not-been-downlo aded-from-server/
that reads:
...here’s a quick fix… Forward the message. Just click Forward and it will ask you “Download rest of message first?”. Say yes and then you will see the old message quoted in the forward. Now if only Apple would make than an option without having to ‘fake’ forward it…
The above worked for me when I encountered "This message has not been downloaded from server” on my iPad 3 running iOS 7.1.1.

"...not downloaded from the server." ???

I open an email on my iPhone that has an attachment 'clip' but when it opens there is a message that says, "This message has not been downloaded from the server." They are Word documents, etc., so they should be downloadable. What do I need to do or change to get the attachments to download???

I can only tell you my experience with the same problem using Comcast and Outlook. Because the email is downloaded to my desktop at the same time as my iphone, I get the same message. All I did was go to Outlook on my desktop to: Tools/email accounts/view or change existing email account/next/change/more settings/advanced/delivery/*remove from server after _ days. By extending the days, the email/attachment stays on the server and therefore opens on my iphone. I did this a few days ago and it seems to be working. Good luck!

This message was not downloaded from the server

I have purchased a iphone the first week they were introduced. My problem is with pop email. I keep getting the message " this message has not been downloaded from the server" when I open a email with a lot of html graphics. After reloading the email many times I am able to get the email. Sometimes it takes only 2 times but sometimes it take 20 times. This has been happening since the first day I got the iphone. I thought it was because of a slow connection but it also happens on wifi. I thought apple would fix this problem eventually. But I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. I have seen this problem being reported on this forum and is apparently quite widespread. I have also reported to apple in there feedback section. No response yet. There is a work around to forward pop email account to an imap account. I don't consider this a solution. Does anyone have any other solutions?

(1) Why does it happen?
The short answer is "I am not 100% sure why, and Apple have not said why!", but all I can really do now is to google it, and make up my own mind!
My Guess: I don't think that the Mail application on the iPhone actually saves any attachments on the iPhone when you download emails! It saves the body of the email, but NOT the attachments.
Why? Because if you attempt to browse an older email, which has an attachment, it gives you the message "Loading..." and after a couple of seconds it tells you "This message has not been downloaded from the server". BUT: If you attempt to do the same thing, with WiFi & EDGE turned OFF, then the Mail application will display the email body immediately, and give you a link to the attachments, that you can click on to download.
Basically it proves that the iPhone does not save attachments on the iPhone, only the email body!
(2) Can you fix this?
Well, this normally happens when you collect your email on your iPhone using the POP protocol!
Most of us download our email onto computers and select the option in Outlook/Outlook Express to "leave the email on the server for x days", typically 5 or 10 (which I do) days. We then setup our iPhones to download the same email, but to LEAVE it on the server - or "Delete from server: Never".
This means that for 10 days your iPhone will be able to access a specific email on the email server, and will be able to download (view) that attachment whenever you want.
BUT: AFTER this 10 day period your computer will remove that specific email from the mail server, and then your iPhone will not be able to retrieve it from the server. Which also means that you will not be able to read any attachments from the mail server.
SO, when your iPhone Mail app tries to download THAT attachment, it will not be able to, and INSTEAD of just displaying the email body, and the attachment link, it displays the error message: "This message has not been downloaded from the server"...
(3) Why does the iPhone NOT just save the attachment on the iPhone?
I have NO idea! Apple should definitely speak out about this and come up with a fix!
(4) Why Apple does NOT save the attachment? (My guess)
Well, if you are constantly re-downloading any attachment that you attempt to view on your iPhone, then you will constantly be downloading data using your EDGE package! AND your Mobile Service Provider CHARGES you a massive rate (per MB) to download data using EDGE! Which means that they (AT&T / MTN / Orange / whatever) are making loads of cash off you re-downloading your email attachments. Is this right?
(5) Quick Fix?
Change the settings on your computer so that it leaves the email on the server for an extended period of time! Change the 3 days, or 10 days to something like 30 days! This means that your iPhone will be able to re-download the attachment for a 30 day period after it has initially downloaded the email.
BUT you are STILL re-downloading the attachment, and while you are waiting, YES, WAITING.... you are still being charged for the data traffic!
The problem here is that some service providers only give you a 10MB email account on their server. This might not be enough for users who receive 100's of emails on a weekly basis!
(6) Longer Fix?
Change your email account from a POP account to an IMAP account.
Problem #1: Here again is that not all service providers offer IMAP facilities! Also, the emails would reside on your server.
Problem #2: You are still re-downloading all those attachments again! $$$
(7) The REAL solution?
The real solution needs to come from Apple! They need to increase the size of the first partition on the iPhone that you save your emails in. Maybe they need to save attachments in the second (media) partition so that you can always access them? At the moment the first partition on the iPhone is really small, just big enough for the OS and a few applications, never mind 100's of attached pictures and mp3s, etc that we commonly send around cyberspace!

Messages not downloaded from the server

Every time I open my email this message appears:
The message from ............. has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to resolve it?
Thanks

The number of messages you have would not appear to be a problem -- I have one Inbox that exceed 15,000. If the messages predominately had very large attachments, then that might be an issue.
If you are in fact running Jaguar (10.3) as your info reports, then you may have an Overstuffed Mailbox. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121837
Asw mentioned in the TIP, if you click on Mailbox in the menubar, you will find the Rebuild command. To use Rebuild, you must have a single mailbox open, and if you have two or more accounts, and the Inbox is the one you want to Rebuild, you must select only the Inbox of one account.
During Rebuild, all messages will disappear, so wait patiently, and don't do anything in a panic because they disappeared.
Keep us posted. If the mailbox is really large because of large attachments, you may have to use a Script to split it, and I can make that available (free).

Mail has not downloaded from the server

We been using POP and just started to switch to IMAP for mail because of the iPhone. For some odd reason Mac Mail has a problem not downloading the body of the message and think it's offline. Most messages are fine. There's only 5 messages in the Inbox so size of the mailbox should not be an issue. Because IMAP is a server based, all messages are saved on the server. I deleted the IMAP and created a POP and selected to keep the messages on the server. The problematic message downloaded fine. I deleted the POP and re-created the IMAP and the problem message still can't download the body. I've installed Entourage using IMAP and sees the problematic message without problems. The OSX 10.4.10 is a clean install without any other apps and all updates installed.
Why is Mac Mail not able to retrieve some messages and others fine in IMAP. I've rebuild the mailbox and re-indexed the Envelope Index database with no help.

Ernie,
Thanks for the article. I came across this article today and decided to install a email server to duplicate the problem. I've ask the email ISP to attached a copy of the problematic email and send it to me so I can place it in the new server. Problem solved. It was exactly like the article said. Using another server software, Mac Mail was able to download the problematic mail in the original form without problems. So it looks like Apple needs to follow industry standards more and fix this problem.
Cause from KB Article:
The latest version of the MailSite IMAP service has been designed to adhere more tightly to the RFC specification than was previously the case. This has led to the discovery of a potential bug within the Mac OS X bundled mail client Mail 2. This is the only E-Mail client that is affected.
More Information:
This problem is caused by the mail client sending two commands at the same time. This is normally fine but the Mac client does not send a terminating line feed for the second command. This causes the client to appear hung, when in reality the IMAP service is waiting for the terminating line feed to complete the command. Once the IMAP connection timeout is reached the connection will be dropped and the client will become responsive again.
Thanks for all your help and I'll find another place to host my email.

Skype wont open, saying its "not supported on this Aschitecture". How can I get it to work??
I have downloaded Skype from its main website for MAC, but still it says " can't open Skype. not supported on this Architecture" when i click on it. I don't know why it wont. This isn't an old Desktop Mac computer, and Skype downloaded with no problems on my Mac Lap top. So what's wrong this time?
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'.

I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'. I followed suggestions from the apple site to clear various library files - mainly relating to Qmaster but this didn't make any difference, an iwonder igf perhaps this is the reason for the compressor 4 programme not working.

You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now my e-mails say, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". We have an Exchange server at work. ??

I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now I cannot retreive or send my e-mails. We have an Exchange server at work. I still receive the e-mails on all my devices just fine and I can see the subject headings & a small portion of the body of the e-mail, but when I open the e-mails there is no body and it reads, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Very aggrevating and is not helping my business at ALL!! Same has happened with both iPads we own now.

Delete then add back the exchange acct on each device.

Sent Mail says "_____ has not been downloaded from the server."

One of my users tells me that her sent mail witch she refers to often says, "The message from user name <email address> concerning “Kalimba Co.” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." (The account is online, sending and recieving is not a problem)
I have read some other related issues and found that mail usually only holds 1GB in the sent folder and she had 6k emails (1.74GB) in this folder which I deleted and the problem is still not solved. I saw where a third party script was used in the related issue but that is not the route I want to go. Yor're help is greatly appreciated.

This might be a Tiger issue. You probably have upgraded tot 10.4 recently or installed firmware.
Before doing anything else... (like removing account, or shuffling messagefiles and the like) you might want to try this..
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303803
This article describes how to reindex Mail by removing Envelopindex file from your home/library/mail/ folder.
It worked great for me.
Eventhough gmail is pop account, removing indexfile "Envelopeindex" (moved to desktop) was good enough. A dialoguebox will tell you that new Tiger functions need this reindexing.
I hope this works for you as well.

""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

You're running up against the GateKeeper.
Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
It will run from there.

A Twist on (this e-mail) has not been downloaded from the server.

So I've read the discussions on the following message in MAIL
The message from [email protected] concerning “Re: blah has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
But here's my issue - the ONLY e-mails in my POP account that have this message are between myself and one other person. All other e-mails from the same time period, and in fact everything in my POP account is normal except for messages I sent to and received from this person. I don't want to get into the specifics, but I have several good reasons PRIOR to discovering this to believe that my communication with this person was being monitored. If I didn't have these doubts from before as well as the fact that ONLY this correspondence is tainted, I wouldn't be so curious.
Is it possible that this "download from server" message indicates that some other party was reading these messages? I was not in the US during this exchange - but rather in a country which does poke around quite a bit. I don't mean to sound dramatic or paranoid - but it is awfully strange and suspect.
thanks.
(i don't think this is a problem with Tiger or OS X or whatever - as it only applies to this correspondence)

What does "being monitored" mean?
In Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), that error message means there is some mismatch between what Envelope Index says there is in a mailbox and what there really is.
The only way I can currently think of those messages being monitored could have a bearing on this is that someone had access to the *.emlx files stored locally on your disk.

My mail won't open says its not downloaded from the server?
