Need help trouble shooting mail issue
Mail issue started when the compter (imac intel, g4, os 10.6.8) said it needed to restart during a mail download. I restarted, then the mail program would not stop downloading older messages. I went online and followed a whole bunch of suggestions, which only made matters worse (preferences... drag com.mail.plist to desktop, add it back, rebuild mail) nothing worked. I then trashed the mail program, and trashed some of the mail cache (not wanting to lose preferences, I lett this cache). Then mail I could not access mail without the set-up assistant showing on screen. So... (digging a deeper and deeper hole!) I tried to restore mail from my time machine back-up (severl days prior to issue) and it did not help. I then reinstalled applications from snow leopard... not helpful. I then figured I could use migration assistant to copy my working mail program from my mac pro and this did not solve the issues. Of course all of this taking me away from my Christmas shopping:-)
So, I tried to set it up manually, but the program will not save the password and it keeps asking for the password but rejecting it each time.
Any ideas??
Thanks for your suggestion regarding contacting Apple. I called the Express service and talked for a couple of hours trying to resolve the issues.
One, to deal with the password issue, Keychain Access > Preferences > click on Reset My Default Keychain, close.
For the original issue of mail downloading messesges from my server every time I checked mail,
Library > Mail folder > messagealreadydownloaded3 > drag to trash. Issues resolved!!!
As for creating a pretty good mess... well all I can say is that I was following suggestions from other users that have posted online with similar issue. Lesson learned??? Not sure if there was one:-)

Need help trouble shooting psinfo
Folks... I am confused... I need to programatically read the command line arguments in /proc/<pid>/as.
For 2 processes I get the message "as open: Permission denied". The processes are
smmsp 366 1 1 1 0 Jun 20 ? 0:05 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m
AND
root 367 1 0 Jun 20 ? 1:02 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m
I am running my code as root... When I try using pargs I get the message "pargs: cannot examine 366: permission denied"
Can anyone explain why it these 2 processes that are in trouble? Is this real?
Thanx

Need help trouble shooting on how to fix my MacBook Pro so it will start
Ok, this is going to be a bit of a long one, cuz there are a good amount of details that go into the problem and how I have tried to fix it.
To start, late last summer I got my Macbook Pro 15" with high resolution anti-glare, 500 GB X 7200 RPM hard drive, and everythin else standard.
Next part of the story is that i decided to upgrade from my 3-year-old iPhone 3GS. So I preordered an iPhone 5 (never doing that again), and finally received it 10/05/12.
Wanting to synch my new iPhone 5 ASAP so I could fully play with it, I finally synched my old iPhone 3GS with my MacBook Pro for the first time. I had not previously synched it with my MacBook Pro, because all of the songs and stuff that were on it were from being synched with my family's desktop (from maybe a year or so ago; I don't synch my phones often.). I also had been lazy this whole time in not transferring the songs and stuff from the desktop to my MacBook Pro, so thats why I didn't synch my 3GS, because I didn't want to lose that stuff on my phone until I had made time to transfer the data. Because of this, I didn't use iTunes that much and I updated it only 2 or 3 times over the year that I had if before I got my iPhone 5.
After synching my old phone, I then tried synching the i5, but an iTunes pop up said that I needed to update to iTunes 7.0 in order to synch the new phone.
So I canceled the pop-up, and checked the updates in iTunes, and selected update (I can't remember what it said I was updating to, but I don't think it was 7.0).
After it started updating, it asked if I wanted to update something something else (I think it was an iOS update or something thing like that.).
I select update, because it looks legit, and why not update the whole computer when I'm taking the time to update iTunes? So the 15-20 minute installation estimation time turns into 2 hours (I think that it said that there was 2GB of update, but not sure.).
At that time, I think of how I don't remember if the update was 7.0 or not (maybe 6.9 or something like that was my thought.). So I tried to re-synched my i5 to make the pop up for iTunes 7.0 to come up. It came up, and I clicked the link to take me to Apple's site. I clicked the update to iTunes 7.0, and it started downloading from the internet, and it gave some download estimation time. Remember that the other iTunes and iOS thing was still updating while iTunes 7.0 was downloading. The problem was that I had to go to work a few minutes before the download of the iTunes 7.0 from Apple's site would complete and 1.5 hours before the other updates would finish. So I just left my MacBook Pro open, running, and updating/downloading.
After work, I checked my laptop, and it said something about finalizing the installation. So I hit that button to finalize or whatever it said, and it starts finalizing.
After waiting 10 or so minutes I check my MacBook Pro again, and it says that it needs to restart to complete the process. So I hit the restart button on the pop up.
It restarted, and against a blue screen there was a grey pop up that said that there was some error or something like that in the installation and that I needed to restart the computer again. There was only one button on the pop up, and it was the "Restart" button. So I pressed it, and it restarted again.
However, it didn't fully boot up (and to this day still doesn't) and get past the grey screen with the apple and the spinning gear thingy underneath it.
After like 20 minutes, I did a forced shut off, and rebooted while holding the option button to see if I could start my Windows side, since I have my computer bootcamped, though I haven't used Windows on it yet. The three options appeared: Windows something, Macintosh something, and Recovery HD. I clicked the Windows button, and after loading and stuff, Windows was running and working. So I'm pretty sure that my problem isn't a hardware problem, but a software problem.
So I asked a friend who is studying to be some kind of computer guy, and he suggested that I put in the Mac iOS X disk that I got with my MacBook Pro when I start up and try to get to Disk Utility. I did that, and was able to get to Disk Utility. And as he instructed, I (on the First Aid tab, I think) pressed "Verify Disk". He said that it started to look for problems and stuff. Then when it was done, I pressed the "Repair Disk", and he said it started fixing those problems. After it was done, I performed another forced shut off. I then turned my MacBook Pro on with crossed fingers, but it was still stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the gear.
He then suggested that we try to start it in Safe Mode, so we researched how to do it on my family's desktop. I tried holding Shift after the turn on tone and releasing it when the spinning gear appeared, but that didn't work. I'm still not sure if that's the right way to start in safe mode.
So right now I don't have any other ideas, besides spending money to get it fixed, which I don't want to do, cuz I'm not rich and I work hard for all these fancy toys.
It ***** to have the joy of getting the newest iPhone overshadowed by my MacBook Pro not working.
Someone, please help!!!First off your older OS X boot disks are no good as you upgraded OS X to a later version.
When you held the option key down at boot, this entered Startup Manager and by what your describing you have Recovery HD, Macintosh HD (your OS X boot partition), and Windows BootCamp partition.
To repair the drive, you enter Recovery HD and use Disk Utiltiy there to repair the Macintish HD partition.
You also use Recovery HD to reinstall OS X 10.7 or 10.8 from Apple's servers, this should fix your problems without deleting your programs or files. (some third party with at boot kernel extension ones will have to be reinstalled)

Need help trouble shooting Database Gateway for MS SQL Server setup, getting ORA-28546 error
Dear All,
I am trying to setup Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server(I don't have admin access to the MS SQL Server). When I try to test the dblink connection, I get the following error.
I issued select * from dual@xyz;
ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql)))

My setup is the following.

Obviously, I would like to get this setup to work, but I also have couple other questions regarding this setup.
1. When installing the gateway, it asks to run the root.sh script. the root.sh script as for the following.
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: n
is the above answer correct?

I need help trouble shooting.... Screen/Monitor related.
My monitor was going reddish/flickering and the backlight was going out so i can i could only barely see what's on the screen. The screen would also just blackout if it was on the brightest setting before.
A couple of days ago i replaced the CCFL backlight. No problems lights up nicely when the screen is not attached. When i try to attach the screen to the hinges it will short out the lamp. So basically, if the lcd frame (metal portion) touches the left or right hand sided "hinges or metal" that it screws into it will short hte lamp out. I just have to put it back into sleep mode and then restart it w/o the lcd touching hte metal. I've replaced the inverter, that did not help.
I am replacing the LCD cable when the part comes in. The whole laptop is taken apart. I can not find any exposed wires. Does anybody have anymore suggestions. I am out of ideas.
T60, model 2007-64U, 14.1 screen. HELPI give up!!!
All parts don't fix the problem... I tried insulating the metal pseudo works... now the screen shuts off when its touched or moved. Different problems now....
I have decided after a week and half of fixing and spending $50 in replacing CCFL, inverter, and LCD cable I am junking the T60 and leaving IBM/Lenovo.
Going to go get a Mac Book Pro.
Cheers to everyone here... see ya. -
I need help trouble shooting my 2 apple TV set up in home.
I have 2 Apple TVs in my home. One Gen1 and 1 Gen2. The gen1 is working fine with home sharing and finding the movies, etc. But the gen 2 is not showing up in iTunes under devices and I can't get it to pull down the content (movies, songs, etc). What should I do?
ATV1 doesn't use Home Sharing but ATV2 does.
ATV1 was set up using an onscreen code you entered in iTunes for that device.
On ATV2 as you set up Home Sharing credentials on the unit it then finds Home Shared itunes libraries without the numeric code step. Consequently ATV2's never show in Devices (unless restoring them over USB).
ATV1 had a hard drive to store contemt. ATV2 has solid state memory and only a small amount so cannot store any content permanently like ATV1. ATV2 only streams. Do you see the iTunes library under the Computers column? -
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011
Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method. -
Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?
Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City -

“iBoostUp.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “iBoostUp.app” and download it again from the App Store.
Because of the above error, i am not able to use iboostup application. I have even tried to reinstall from app store, but the issue still continues.
Need help.Perhaps the damaged file is an auxiliary file outside the app bundle and stored elsewhere on your Mac. Try deleting the app and all it files with an app for that purpose. Afree one is AppCleaner;

Need Help Migrating Tiger Mail to Leopard
Hi,
I just did a clean install of Leopard on my Powerbook and it's running fine. I made a copy of my library/mail and the com.apple.mail.plist file from my Tiger Mail and burnt it to a DVD.
Once i installed leopard I tried to import and it said it could find any mailboxes even when i pointed it in the right direction. Does anyone know how to do this properly? I need to get my mail app looking like it was on TIger pretty soon for work etc.
Thanks
FjordOkay
This is what I ended up doing in the end. My mail is a Yahoo Small Business POP account. So...after many different failing methods...
I added the account in Preferences, it then imported all 2000+ mail messages back from the server once this was done, I Imported the SENT mailbox from my clone of Tiger, the program then creates the following mailbox: On My Mac>IMPORT>Sent Messages, i dragged all the messages from this into my SENT box at the top of the list and deleted the IMPORT one.
I then had to re-create all my smart mailboxes from scratch. So, this is not really a proper full-on solution but it's the only way for me to get my SENT messages back which is the most important I guess when using a POP account from your desktop.
Hope it helps.

I'm a Noob, and need help solving a backup issue.
I previously had an Alienware PC with a 1TB harddrive. I backed up to the cloud using Carbonite.
I decided to get a new laptop and got a MacBook Pro with Retina. It only has 128GB harddrive. My plan was to use a 2TB external harddrive and back up both using Carbonite. Well, turns out Carbonite only does external harddrive backup with PC's not Macs. So, I need help.
I have way more files than can fit on my laptop that need to be accessed and backed up on a regular basis, so it would seem time machine isn't the solution.
What do you do? or would you recommend? What is the best way for someone like me who wants continual access to and backup of a large amount of data? Are there any good cloud based solutions you would recommend?
I appreciate your help!CMCSK
Bulletproof backups:
The MOST important part in that link was the titled portion marked: Make backups for your backups
My list for the original poster:
Never consider any computer a data storage device, rather a data creation ,sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake.
Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time even under ideal conditions.
Store important data on multiple servers on multiple continents.
Burn important data onto multiple copies of archival DVDs and store same in cool dark fireproof safes, hidden places, secret places, multiple places.
Don’t burn data onto junk DVD’s purchased from consumer level electronics stores. These are not archival long life DVD’s nor reliable, nor trustworthy
When data can be made to be everywhere, then there is nowhere it can be erased or destroyed.
Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none, and 1000 copies stored in one place or building, is also the same as none when a fire occurs.
Always consider and expect your computer’s hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and thou shalt keep a cloned and updated hard drive handy at all times to return to immediate productivity and avoid program and parameter reinstallation and tweaking.
When your data is decentralized, it becomes both everywhere and nowhere, accessible to all, destructible by none, cannot be collected together or permanently retrieved under any circumstances. -
I installed Directory SErver on Windows 2000 Advance Server.
The directory server is responding but iplanet console is not responding (Not opening).
How do i troubleshoot the problem. I am not an administrator.
Thanks in Advance
KrishAs mentioned in the docs, http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6697-10/install.html#23711, you need to have Administrator privileges to install properly on Windows.
If you see the login window when you start the console, it could be that the Administration Server you're trying to access is not running, or that some of the connection info (port number, admin ID, admin password) is not correct.
You can look at the list of Windows Services to check whether the Administration Server is running.
Note that you want to be using a 5.2 Administration Server with Directory Server 5.2. So if you're using an older Administration Server with Directory Server 5.2, that could also be a source of problems.
Hope some of this helps,

Help trouble-shooting firefox https/http/something issues
I just wrote a very long post only to be told on trying to submit it that I did not have permission to access the page.
I am having various extremely frustrating issues in firefox.
Some of these seem to be profile or addon related but I cannot quite pin anything down.
With my default config:
1. I cannot post in any thread in the forums.
2. On tex.stackexchange.com, I cannot view many pictures in situ although I can view them in a new tab. These all seem to be hosted on http://i.stack.imgur.com.
3. If I login to the meta site for tex.stackexchange.com, I end up on the regular site for tex.stackexchange.com. Although I appear to be me when I go there, I cannot post or vote or anything. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
4. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get failures for both Messaging and Storage.
5. Disabling rules for sites in https everywhere doesn't help. Nor does disabling it completely and disabling the ssl observatory. When I do that, I still seem to get errors in ~/.xsession-errors:
SSL Observatory: Cert submission failure 0:
With a clean profile in safe-mode:
1. I just lost a post when I tried to submit saying I had no permission to access the page.
2. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu on tex.stackexchange.com, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
3. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get a failure for just Messaging.
One of the problems is that what works one moment seems to fail the next and I can't get any robust work around which survives, say, a restart of the browser even using a clean profile. It is driving me nuts. Some of this is documented in this thread. (I always find firefox issues confusing.)
I first had problems at the same time as being bitten by a https everywhere bug which prevented login on SE sites. However, although that seems to have been resolved, the issues aside from that persist for me.
I am not using Arch's build but the 64bit from Mozilla. However, this version (26) worked for some time before I started seeing issues so I doubt it is a firefox update issue per se.
Does anybody have any thoughts about whether I am seeing one or several issues? how best to individuate them? and how best to diagnose them?
In the past, firefox issues have generally been entirely addon related and it has just been a question of being systematic but while some of this might be addon related, there seems to be a basic issue independent of my profile and addons. At least, so it seems given the failures in safe-mode with a clean profile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me not-so-slowly mad.
Last edited by cfr (2014-01-13 00:03:48)I was wondering why I hadn't seen any posts from you for a while!
I had an issue just the other day that sounds kind of like this. I couldn't post things on the forums, I couldn't log into a number of internet services, and things were just all around failing. It took me a while of trying to debug my own local network to finally realize that it wasn't actually my problem. In an effort to just see if things were getting through, I tried a speed test site. The ping time and download speeds were normal, but my upload was working hardly if at all.
So I called comcast and was told to stop by the comcast store to trade in for a new cable modem. I got home and it magically worked great. In fact, there were several small issues I had with the last cable modem that were suddenly gone.
A grrr about the situation. I had to go pick up the cable modem because they told me it would be $15 to ship the new modem out to me, and I would also have to pay for a service appointment. The lady on the phone told me that comcast had recently made it so that they could not wave the fee for such things, despite the fact that it was their won hardware that was causing the problems. Then of course when I went to the comcast place I took a number and waited a good two hours for a two minute cable box trade. Thanks comcast, your customer service sucks. -
Need help in e mailing pictures
I need a password to send my pictures by e mail. Can you send (or re send) me one?
Hello Bert, and welcome to the forums.
This doesn't sound like a Photoshop issue, but an email problem. However, if you give us a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing, we might be able to help if it is in fact a Photoshop issue.
