Need help understanding mail import

I've just upgraded to OS 10.4.6 from OS 9.1. I was using Outlook Express 5.0.6 in OS 9.1.
After trying every possible solution that I can dream up or have read about, I am desperate for an answer. I have two potential Email programs that I could use in Tiger: "Mail" or "Entourage 2004". Either one suits me, but neither one will import my old email from Outlook no matter how I configure the import or where I put the actual "Messages" file. It's a huge file, at about 1000 MB. I've read that "Mail" won't import from Outlook at all, and I've read that Entourage should import this file.
What I get when I run the import function and click down to the Identities folder inside of the Microsoft User Data folder is grayed out files. It's not just the "Messages" file that's grayed out, it's actually all of them (Database; Signatures; Contacts etc.)
I could live without most of it, but I MUST have my old emails. Can anyone give me some clue?
Of interest: I also cannot seem to launch OS9 simultaneously with Tiger when starting up from Tiger. In order to launch OS9, I have to change to startup disk to OS 9 and reboot.
HELP PLEASE!!!!

OK - I finally have been able to open Classic - that was a chore, but it's done and I hope I never have to trouble shoot it again. Though I must say, the thread that you lead me to for that was very helpful.
However - I am still unable to import the old "Messages" file, created from Outlook Express 5.0.6 originally, in any email program INCLUDING Outlook Express 5.0.6. !! It's there - I can see it!! But it's all grayed out. It seems that Mail will import the messages once I can get them back into Outlook, but now I can't figure out how to do that.
I tried selecting the folder instead of the file itself. No go. I wonder if the file or the folder it's in are in the wrong place.
Also - over the course of the day, I copied the folder and it's contents more than once and placed each copy in a few different places so as to be able to try each location. Could multiple copies be the cause? If so - how do I know which to delete, and where should everything actually go?

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

I desperately need help with Mail, specifically sending

For Starters: I am on OSX 10.9.2 and am trying to use mail 7.2.
https://discussions.apple.com/post!input.jspa?container=2998&containerType=14&qu estion=I+desperately+need+help+with+Mail%2C+specifically+sending
I cannot send. I have been at this for hours and hours and hours. Here are the details.
my mail server however is s1.sistercompany.net
I can receive email just fine. I can also send mail just find having set this up on my iphone and also in thunderbird (which i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, which is why I am desperate to set up mail)
The settings in thunderbird are as follows:
Servername: s1.sistercompany.net
port: 465
Authentication method: normal password
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
However, I just can't get this to work in Mail. When I write an email and hit send I get a popup that says:
Cannot send message using the server s1.sistercompany.net
The certifcate for this server is invalid.
Now, my tech guy says yeah the certifacte is invalid because you are going through sistercompany server, there should be some way to just accept the certifcate anyway (but he has never used mail before).
So I have serached around and come up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11706
Which tells me to use the verify certificate dialogue, which I would do except there is no verify certificate dialog. Any thoughts?

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

Need help with FCE import (1920x1080)

I'm new to FCE and unfamiliar with the settings and format. I bought the software in order to use one third party filter on a particular four minute project. I thought this would be easy (I'm not even editing the show in Final Cut, just applying a filter.) But I've spent literally days watching tutorials and reading discussions trying to get settings and file formats right for a simple four minute project.
Here's my situation. I created a video in Photo to Movie.
I exported it with the following settings:
HDV 1080i
     Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
     Video
          Compression: Apple Intermediate Codec
          Quality: Medium
          Frame rate: 29.97
          Preset: HDV 1080i
     Sound:
          Format: Integer (Big Endian)
          Sample rate: 48.000 khz
          Sample Size: 16-bit
          Channels: Stereo (L R)
Initially I was working in version 4 and could only work with the 1440 x 1080 sequence settings. The film looked great in FCE but rendering was giving me poor image quality. I thought this might be a problem with sequence settings.
I just updated to 4.0.1 so that I could work with 1920 x 1080 dimensions. In Easy Setup I selected AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60.
But when I drag my Quicktime movie into the browser it's listed as 1440 x 1080. I'm puzzled as I'm sure I formatted it at 1920x1080 and if I
use command+i on the .mov file it shows as 1920x1080.
I'm completely confused. I have MPEG Streamclip and Iskysoft media converter if that's useful.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
In the initial export of my Photo to Movie project?
In my import into FCE?
Both?
I'm far behind my deadline and really need some help.
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

Hi Tom, you are right, of course. The inspector says:
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062)
Millions 16-bit integer (Big Endian)
Stereo (L R)
48.000 kHz
FPS 29.97
Playing FPS (Available while playing.)
Data size: 2.66 GB
Data rate: 89.58 mbits/s
normal size: 1888 x 1062
current size: 1888 x 1062
I won't ask you to explain why I fed in one resolution and ended up with another or why the file shows up in the preview menu as being 1920x1080. Obviously I don't understand these basic concepts.
The more immediate question is--which settings should I be using to import into FCE (or should I be converting this to something else before it's imported into FCE?)
Finally, when it's time to export (after applying the filter) which settings should I use?
I need a high quality version that can be put on a DVD and also something that can be used on Youtube. (The more urgent need is for the You Tube file).
I truly hate to bother you with all this, but it's remarkable how many different online tutorials I've consulted and they all differ. I've probably spent thirty hours this week trying different approaches (insane). Each asserts that this or that format and setting is the "best" but no one seems to agree.    And none have entirely worked so far. (I even had a professional come to my house this morning to help and he told me all my settings looked fine--obviously not true.) Ultimately I need to understand the underlying concepts (and should have invested my time this way) but in the meantime, I urgently need to get this project out.
I saw in other posts that you have written about FCE. Is there a particular title I should pick up to get a good overview of these concepts? And, in your opinion, does it make sense to study FCE when everything seems to be moving toward the Pro X software? I ask these additional questions, in part, for the benefit of others. I'm sure I'm not the only layman out there who is struggling with this learning curve. Thank goodness for individuals like you.

I need help with Mail

I recently erased my HD and reinstalled Yosemite. I wanted to manually move my saved emails over so I researched and it said to go to library/Mail/V2 and copy everything in there from the old system and paste it into the new system. I did this but got this message...
I don't know what this means. I should have gone online and asked, but tried to fix it myself. I thought if I deleted the gmail accounts and re-entered them it would fix it. When I opened Mail preferences, choose one of the two accounts and hit the "-" button, it gave me a message saying they couldn't be deleted and to do it from the system preferences, so I did that. Now Internet accounts in system preferences shows them as gone, but they are still in the Mail.app. I tried deleting them again from Mail preferences and it won't let me. I then tried to go re-add them to the system preferences and it will add a google account but says there is an error. I am fearful that I have really screwed my computer up. Please help! How do I add them back to my system preferences without errors and what do I do about the above pic of the message that keeps popping up in Mail? How can I delete the gmail accounts if I need to if Mail won't let me. I also haven't gotten a single new email in any of my accounts, including my iCloud and comcast ones since I did this all. What should I do?

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Need help understanding syntax

Hi,
I need some help to understand the following syntax .
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean); What is this PPARAMImpl?
I know "am " is a variable . And with pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) we are trying to get the AM name for that page, then why do we need to add (PPARAMImpl) before pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) ?
For example in plsql , apps.testpkg.mainproc(param1,param2)
means
schema.packagename.procedurename(parameter1,parameter2).
So can you explain "PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean)" in that manner?
pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))
What is this ?
What are the possible values for EVENT_PARAM ? And by the way , I need help on setting a default value for one of my search parameters in a search region .
Correct me If I am wrong, this is what I thought
1. EOImpl has setters and getters for that attribute. So call the setter method in controller and set the value , if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
or
2. get the view object name and then set the value for that . like viewobject.setattribute('att name',att value'),if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
Thanks
Sri.

Hi,
No. These are not equal.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) return AM of type OAApplicationModule.
It would be fine if your variable am, is of type OAApplicationModule:
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) // this would be fine.
But as you are using of type PPRAMImpl, you must have to type-cast that externally using:
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
If you are still not clear, then refer any java book or google for internal & external type-casting in java.

Need help with mail after the "import" please

Hello.
I recently upgraded to 10.4. Since I did that, my copy of Entourage has been acting up, so I decided to start using Mail instead. I love it so far, but I imported all my folders and old e-mail into Mail, now it still continues to import e-mail from Entourage every time the program checks for e-mail. So, some gets put into the import file, and some of it goes into the inbox of the Mail program. I have three e-mail addresses setup in Mail, just like I did in Entourage, but it only seems to import one account. The rest seems to go into my inbox. I want that to stop, but I also want to make sure all my mail is being picked up by Mail and not Entourage. I haven't opened Entourage since I have set up Mail. What do I do to correct this. It's pretty annoying. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

you just go to file, import mailboxes and then select the program you want to have imported. i think you have to have that application opened. i don't know where the address files are stored, though. sorry about that.

Need help with Mail

Hi:
Need your help with something I don´t understand: we try to set up a new hotmail account in Mail (we have used both Preference Panel and directly in Mail) but it never recieves the Inbox. I can send but don´t see anything in Inbox.
I looked into User/Library/Mail/V2/accountname/INBOX.mbox/ and the folder with the xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx name structure is never created.
I tried to set up another hotmail account and it works ok, only this specific account fails.
I Used a Permissions repair, didn't worked. Erased all data in V2, again not worked. Tried to "cheat" Mail setting up another hotmail account and then changing info to the specific account failing, not luck. Also reset sync services (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627?viewlocale=es_ES), still not work. Rebuild inside Mail also didn´t worked. Any idea to get this account working?
BTW, sorry for my bad english...

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go â¹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Need help accessing Mail files after Updgrade to OS X 10.5

I recently did an Erase and Install of my new Leopard OS X. Before doing so, I copied my complete mail file from 10.4 to an external HD.
After installing 10.5, I tried to import the old files from the HD and I get a message that says my Mail file is not compatible with this version of OS X. This is a REALLY big problem because I have 8 years worth of contacts stored in those mail files
I don't know what to do. I have since set-up new mail accounts, so I am using my Mail Program without problems. I need to know how to access my old files. I have tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

which Mail file do you mean? the Mail application itself? that was the wrong thing to copy. the application itself contains no user data at all. all your mail data was stored inside your home directory in the folder homedirectory/Library/Mail. if you didn't back up that folder, your Mail data is gone. Your ONLY chance (and it's a small chance) of recovering your Mail data now is to use data rfecovery software like [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1] and try to restore that Mail folder. You should do this ASAP to decrease the chance that this data will be overwritten.

Need help understanding an example in Flex 4 Language Reference: flash.data.sqlstatement

I don't understand how to use the example in Flash Builder. I read the link concerning this, but it's still unclear.
1) Is this example a single file, or should the class definition be separate? I ask because I don't see any import statements at all, which makes me wonder how it would work.
2) does init() act as the automatic entry point for this code, or is this function called from some unseen event?
3) does dbStatement.itemClass = Employee represent the link between the main app and the class file?
I've been looking all over for a solution to my problem in that I have 8 or 10 querries to a sqlite db in my main application and I would really like to move each to their own file, but I don't understand how to reference them from the main app, or how to share the results with the main app. I was hoping this was what I'm looking for.
// Employee class definition
package
    public class Employee
        public var name:String;
        public var ssn:String;
        public var id:uint;
        public override function toString():String
            return "id: "+ id.toString() + " name: " + name + " ssn: " + ssn;
// using the Employee class as SQLStatement.itemClass
var conn:SQLConnection;
var dbStatement:SQLStatement;
function init():void
    conn = new SQLConnection();
    conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, connOpenHandler);
    dbStatement = new SQLStatement();
    dbStatement.sqlConnection = conn;
    dbStatement.text = "SELECT id, name, ssn FROM employees";
    dbStatement.itemClass = Employee;
    var dbFile:File = new File(File.separator + "employee.db");
    conn.open(dbFile);
function connOpenHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
    dbStatement.execute();
function resultHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    var result:SQLResult = dbStatement.getResult();
    if (result != null)
        var emp:Employee;
        var numRows:int = result.data.length;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < numRows; i++)
            emp = result.data[i];
            trace(emp.toString());
Thanks

Hi Kristin,
1020: Method marked override must override another method.
-overridesObject.toString
There is popular misconception among ActionScripters about toString() method - if one want to provide custom implementation method of super class "override" keyword is needed.
But in case of Object "toString" is dynamic and it is attached at runtime negating the need of overriding - instead implementation is to be provided by developer so one is not created at runtime. So one needs to just write her own: toString():String method.
Methods of the Object class are dynamically created on Object's prototype. To redefine this method in a subclass of Object, do not use the override keyword. For example, a subclass of Object implements function toString():String instead of using an override of the base class.

hth,

Need Help with FCP7 import and plug in question.

Hello,
I just registered and would like to ask two questions. Everything else I'll use the search function for but I need the answer right away.
Ok First question. I have a mac pro at home and a intel macbook both with FCS4 during the holiday season I'd like to work on a project on my laptop. Now I have all my files on a 2.0 USB drive(I know its not that fast for video) but this is only temp. while traveling. I'm trying to figure out why it wont import the files into another project. Even when I'm at my home Mac Pro when I try to import a projects footage into another project it doesn't read it. This comes up
"File Error: 0 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied 254 unknown"
But all the files will work in the project that it was originally captured too.
If this helps the codec is sonys HDV 1080 60i converted to Apple ProRes 422(HQ) which I found out I should only use the regular Apple ProRes 422. I'm stuck now b/c I cannot import the files into a new project to work in on my laptop. Plus my Macbook doesn't have Firewire800 so I have no way to get the footage from tape to my laptop other then my USB Hard Drive.
I also have problem importing the files in Motion and Cinema Tools they also are not recognizing the files which is getting me upset since they are FCP7 generated files after I convert them to ProRes.
Whenever I try to import/use the files in anything other the original project they are grey'ed out.
I'm also confused on how to import effects plug-ins I've downloaded effects from apple only to have now directions to import them into the program.
Sorry for the Noob questions I'm a film student learning FCP7 by myself so I have the upper hand come next semester. Thanks in advance.

Can't tell for sure but it sounds as if the drive is not properly formatted, or you do not have correct read/write permissions for it. There is no way you can use this drive with HQ video. You're going to get into problem if you even try.
