Need help with iMac intel desktop - Mac mail consistently going OFFLINE

I need help with Mac mail - it is frequently going "offline" and requesting me to "take all accounts online". My internet is working. It's been checked, checked and checked. Sometimes it just takes a reboot of the system and the modem to kick it in and make the little triangle symbol go away, but should I have to reboot daily? I have the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 installed. Is there a bug here or am I supposed to upgrade to Mavericks? Any help is most appreciated.

For me this is an issue caused by my email service provider. When they are slow to respond or to accept the password Mail takes that as a password rejection, and prompts me to reenter password, and eventually goes offline.

Need help with iMac OSX backup

Hi,
I currently have a mac book air running osx 10.8.
And i recently purchased a imac running osx 10.8.
I need help with the backup feature between my imac and macbook air.
I work with excel files a lot, using Microsoft office for mac.
so basically what i want is to have a 2 way backup between my imac and macbok air.
That is, when i make any changes, create or delete a file in either of the system, i want the other system to make the change automatically.
For example when i make changes to a spreadsheet (excel file) on my imac, i want the same to be updated automatically on my macbook air, and vice versa.
I want both the machines to have the same files, updating the files as they get modified. or deleting if its deleted on any one of the system. Like a 2 way sync.
Kindly let me know if theres any way to do this. or something similar that can help me, like i mainly require the excel spreadsheets to be updated, system files, other libraries are not important.
I can also put all my files in a single folder if thats required.
Ps. Both the machines are connected on the same network, and i can also hook a external drive for the backup purpose if required.
I searched google for softwares and couldnt find the appropriate ones.
Any help would be appreciated.
Let me know if you require any more info on this.
Thanks
Gaurav.

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....

Mac mail: keeps going offline for outgoing

Mac Mail account won't send mails - recieves fine. Checked all settings and tried various changes to no effect. Basically says it's offline after trying to send. Account had worked fine for several months until 2 days ago... any help welcome.
Running OSX 10.5.8 on macbook, Mail is 3.6 [936]

If Mail keeps asking for your password when retrieving mail, then it may very likely be that the password you entered has become corrupted in the Keychain. You should try this:
Open Keychain Access>Passwords and scroll through the list to find that specific entry and delete it; quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail and enter your password again when it asks, and check the box to save it in the Keychain. If things work as expected, it will not ask you again unless your Keychain or an entry in it becomes corrupted again.

I need help with imac g4 flat panel download of leopard it tells me it cannot load on the system.

i bought a refurbished imac g4 flat panel. it is supposed to have an os but it only comes up with a question mark. I put leopard in and it tells me it cannot load on this compuert. system is 800mhz and 60g hd and 768ram. i have tried to do a fix through the utility and it says it does not exit and kicks me out. ANY HELP IS A PLUS.

Try holding down the option key then power on. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
"The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1812?viewlocale=en_US
You have got get in open firmware to hack the mhz to be higher for the install. That is change what the machine reports as the mhz to be a higher number. Details:

This works on Tiger but I assume it would work on Leoard.

it is possible to enable and disable it as needed,
by entering the following commands into the terminal:
-- To turn Dashboard off:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

Need help with video on older Mac Pro

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that more than meets all of the specs for FCP X, except the Mac App store won't let me buy and download because the video card in the system doesn't meet specs. I've found an apple support page that lists the compatible video cards for FCP X. Here's my issues:
1. Most of the cards on the list are older and not easily obtainable anymore.
2. Even with models that are newer, it's had to find one labeled for Mac - so can I just use any old model of, say, a Radeon HD 5670 or do I need one specificlaly made for Macs?
3. Bottom line is what card can I use in a 2008 Mac Pro that will meet the specs and that I can actually purchase?
Thanx...Jon

. . . . . . . . . so can I just use any old model of, say, a Radeon HD 5670 or do I need one specificlaly made for Macs?
A Radeon HD 5670 is a Radeon HD 5670 - if it's on the compatible list, it will work in your Mac.
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.5 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.5.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
For smooth playback without dropping frames, make sure 'Better Performance' is selected in the FCP X Preferences - Playback Tab.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Need help with Imac G5 Model A1145 for resetting to factory settings

Hi - I am new to the Mac world. I recently inherited an iMac G5 Model A1145. I am trying to reset the hard drive to factory settings. It came with no discs whatsoever. I've tried to push the option button upon restart or command + R but I never get a Disk Utility screen.
This iMac has no CD drive with it (although I do have a USB CD drive that I could use if necessary).
Does anyone know how I can reset the hard drive back to factory settings??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

"command + R but I never get a Disk Utility screen.": These old iMacs don't have this feature.
you'll need a disc. If you don't have any, you'll need to find one: http://www.macworld.com/article/2101301/advice-from-an-apple-tech-how-to-get-old -mac-os-x-install-discs.html

Need Help with iMac 350 - Won't boot - keyboard or mouse not working!

Hello,
I've scoured the web looking for answers, and can't find any, so maybe someone here would be kind enough to help. I'm working on an imac 350 blueberry for my sister and I'm having all sorts of trouble.
She bought it last week, it started up (8.6 os) no problem. Powered up and down a few times, then all of a sudden, it won't boot. I'm currently getting blinking folder/happymac/question mark when trying to start up.
Here's the big problem - the keyboard and mouse do not work now. I've tried three different mice and three keyboards and no dice with any of them. I have the 8.6 CD from her previous imac (bondi), and I can hear it spinning, but there is no way to start up from cd.
I've also tried 2 other hard drives with the same results.
Tried resetting CUDA on logic board, taking out battery, no change. Bought new battery- no change.
I would love to at least get the keyboard working to see if I can even startup from cd, anyone have any clues on how to get it working? The strange thing is that the keyboard has a power on button, and it works to start the thing up, but dies when it tries to boot. Sometimes I just get a grey screen with the pointer icon, and I can move the pointer with the mouse for a second or two, then no response.
I appreciate any help or suggestions on locating the issues!
Thank you!

When I said "but dies when it tries to boot" and "..then no response." I meant that the keyboard works to power up the computer, but won't work for anything else. So, I am figuring that the usb ports are supplying power to the keyboard and mouse, but the usb ports aren't relaying information from the keyboard or mouse.
How do you know the mouse isn't working? Won't you have to wait until later in the boot to tell?
The poweron key is a special case. I think that it works by lowering/changing the voltage on one of the usb cables. I read about this somewhere. Anyway, this function was eliminated from later usb keyboards and macs. Maybe a working power button doesn't mean what you think.
I would love to boot into open firmware
Could you try powering up from the machine? Is there a power button on the lower right of the machine?
Have you tried this key combo?
commandoption+of
The letters are in lower case. Hold all down then poweron the machine. I'd poweron from the machine as apposed to the keyboard.
You could try another usb keyboard.
We actually did boot up the computer several times with it upside down. Not for any reason, except it's become a real PIA to flip it over every two minutes to start it, then take it apart and boot again. When booting either upside down or right side up it shows the same thing - blinking folder w/finder icon and question mark.
Yes, I agree. You could try removing the clear plastic around the bottom of the machine. At least you will not have to slide in the carriage. Note. The tv portion will still be surrounded by plastic! Don't remove the plastic around the tv!
Hope I am not interfering with Richard and his comments.
Richard: Is this the orginal keyboard? When did Apple get rid of the poweron key from the keyboard? My iMac 600 didn't have the key and my iMac 233 does.

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

Need Help with mysql admin for Mac

Hello all.
I am new to cold fusion and databases all together. Infact I
am doing an online tutorial to get me started, my problem is the
tutorial really just scratches the surface for the mac side and in
some cases sorta explains how to do but no visual help and I am
very visual.
I am searching for software that is really idiot proof to
start my knowledge with then make the transition when I learn more
and more to hard coding. The tutorial suggests Navicat for Mysql
admin and it is nice but he is setting up basic databases in Access
which looks really easy and I am trying to follow along with
navicat but I am just not getting it specifically when it comes to
setting up relationships between tables. Can I use a software like
FileMaker Pro and just convert to mysql or is their other software
that makes it a little more easy to understand how to set up
relationships like access does.
I am totally new to this stuff and I am looking for the
easiest product to use. Thanks again for your help and time.
Chris

As for the database part, before you write your first query,
you should become grounded in the concepts of data modeling. Then
find a good source (book, books-on-line, etc. ) for the particular
"flavor" of SQL used by your database of choice, then start writing
your queries. Data model first (entities, relationships,
attributes), then SQL.
Couple of fairly good online tutorials for data modeling.

OpenAM on Windows - Need help with the Windows Desktop SSO [Video Inside]

Hi everybody,
first sorry if I make some mistakes as I dont speak english fluently, sorry :)
I am trying to configure the Windows Desktop SSO of OpenAM on a Windows box.
I followed this tutorial : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19681-01/820-3746/gisxh/index.html but when I check if SSO works (with this URL : http://FQDN_domain.llocal:8080/opensso/UI/Login?module=MySSOModule) , it fails with an error "authentication failed".
1. First I would like to know if there is a way to check if the keytab generated is correct please. Indeed, I have read somewhere that the account name has to be identical as the name of the SSOServer; in my case it is not.
I have correctly generated the keytab file (*or I think so but how can I be sure* ?).
2. I would like to know how, in Windows, I have to configure the "keytab file name" (on the module instance page/ New Module).
As I dont have /etc/opt etc... Do I have to specify a path like that ? : "D:\apache-tomcat-6.0.33\webapps\opensso\config\myfile.HTTP.keytab"
3. I have also logfiles with debug mode enabled. It is available here : http://dl.free.fr/b6yPOoYTU/logauthent.txt.
I will be very pleased if someone can help me about this problem that drives me nuts.
Thanks a lot

Need Help with switching from Desktop to Laptop for Iphone 4s.

I have an Iphone 4s and I was wondering if it is possible to go from a desktop to a laptop and be able to sync my phone and be able to save everything that I have on my iphone and be able to transfer it to my laptop, such as pics,texts,contacts, apps etc. I have already synced over my music from my desktop to my laptop via flashdrive, i have over 4,000 songs and im not looking to do something like that again. If anyone could get back to me and please let me know if there is a simple solution for this problem that would be great.Thank you.

You can import pictures from the camera roll to the laptop, you can also create a backup of the iPhone on the laptop, which will take your texts. You need to either sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer, or you can use iCloud. Apps are part of your iTunes. You would need to transfer the purchases on your Apple ID to the new laptop and iTunes. Remember to authorize the computer before you do this. Just remember, the first time you go to sync the phone to the new iTunes, it is going to tell you that the phone is connecting to a different library and that you would erase all the music, but since you have moved all of the music to the new laptop, that won't matter.

Need help with Bridge on a Mac

I am using Bridge CS4 version 3.0.0.464 on a mac. [no Lion yet]
I have been finding that Bridge has been closing unexpectedly, particularly when I use the batch rename function. This has been happening more often recently, up to at least once per session now. [not just when using batch rename either, sometimes other things make it crash too]
Does anyone know of any checks or repairs I can do to remedy this [or even to just identify the problem]? I do not know where to start. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Just updating my post...
I have found myself coming back to this solution again and again, as I find the same situation occurs over and over. It can be a few weeks or a few months, and then I find Bridge inexplicably closing more frequently. So I go through the command+shift+option thing, and it fixes the problem for a while.
Anyone know anything I can do to prevent this from happening over and over? I am wondering if the trick is to use the default preferences? I do find that after resetting preferences, I spend a little time changing things around so that the view is just the way I like it...I wonder if this could be enough to 'corrupt preferences', as Barbara B described above.
Any help would be appreciated.
