Not renewing my .Mac, How to keep messages?

Hello Apple (and readers who might have suggestions),
As a first hour .Mac subscriber, I'm thinking of not renewing my .Mac account because it costs me 100 dollars a year for (only) the fancy @mac.com e-mail address i use...
Can i, and how can I keep or transfer the discussions of me to a new apple-id account?

Well, i tried several things and as it turns out on MyInfo you can't change your Apple-ID. It says: "Note: .Mac customers click here to change your Apple ID."... which leads to www.mac.com There you login, click on account, personal info is the only thing you can change... it looks like it's impossible to change an Apple-ID of a .Mac account.
Probably you could change it over the online-store (looks like you could there) but then they want credit-card information or you can't change your account name / AppleID !!! They really make you jump thru hoops.
I ended up making a new AppleID...
thanks for the help so far.

  • New Mac, how to keep Date Added info in new iTunes

    Yesterday I bought a new iMac, replacing my older one.
    I have 66GB of iTunes Music & Videos which I saved on an external hard drive. I copied the "iTunes" folder from my Mac onto the hard drive.
    I know I can just drag the folder into iTunes on my new Mac, but I would lose all the "date added" and "play count" information. I see that in the iTunes folder I saved, there is an "Album Artwork" folder, an "iTunes Library database file", an "iTunes 4 Music Library database file", an "iPod Games Library database file", and an "iPod Games" folder.
    Does the iTunes Library database file contain all the information? Because I tried to replace that file with the current one on my new Mac, and when I opened iTunes, all my songs, playlists, and data added information was there, but all the songs had an exclamation mark beside them. So then I dragged the iTunes folder into iTunes but then I had doubles of each thing.
    So my question is, how can I import my music by keeping the Date Added, Play Count, and playlist information?

    Normally if you want a trouble free move, all your music files must be in the iTunes Music folder as designated in the preferences.
    However if you music is on an external drive and the full path to the music files will NOT change, this is no essential. iTunes cannot tolerate any change to the path to music files that are not in the iTunes Music folder. If the files are in the iTunes music folder, it can tolerate changes to the path above the level of the iTunes Music folder.
    All the data on playlists, count, ratings is in iTunes Library.itl which by default is in ...My Music\iTunes assuming you haven't moved it. This iTunes folder also contains your album artwork, so you need to save the whole folder.
    When you have iTunes installed and working and before you add any more music, you will need to replace the iTunes folder created by the new installation of iTunes with your original iTunes folder and ensure the path for the iTunes Music folder is correctly set in the preferences.
    Because it sounds as though you have a somewhat non standard arrangemnt, I can't be sure that what I have said is exactly right but I hope I have given you neough to sort it out.

  • How to keep messages in sequence of different interfaces (using queues?)

    Dear experts,
    I'm running a scenario in which a job in one system creates and deletes orders in another system via XI (using idocs). I'm sending 100 times more creations than deletions.
    These are two different interfaces. Therefore they use different queues.
    My problem now is that sometimes a deletion enters the target system before the the creation of this order has taken place. Because the queue is much shorter for deletion, these are processed earlier.
    How can I make sure that message from two different interfaces enter and then exit xi in the same sequence? Is it possible to assign them to the same outbound queue?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

  • After deleting several email from my phone, it will not update in Mac Mail and shows message: Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash"

    Using Outlook account associated with work. Deletes on iPhone, but not in Mac Mail.  I do not have Outlook for Mac.

    Does the Outlook account allow you to store deleted mails on server?

  • HT3748 My exchange email account works in iPhone but it does not work in mac, how do i solve it?

    I've tried several times to add my work exchange email account on macBook Pro but it cant connect to the server. It works fine on my iPhone. Is there any solution to this problem?

    Are you connecting to Exchange 2003? If yes, Mail requires Exchange 2007 and higher. Your iPhone can connect but not Mail. You would have to setup as POP in Mail. Microsoft Entourage 2008 connects to Exchange 2003. It's old End of Life software so it will receive no further updates.
    If you are using one of the newer versions of Exchange you might need to turn off AutoDiscover settings. This link has directions for Microsoft Outlook:

  • Now that flashplayer is not compatible with Mac how do I access video and TV etc

    Is there an alternative to flash player now that it cannot be used with Mac - I am unable to access live TV or any moving images eg video clips. iOS 10.6.8

    Who told you that? Adobe has older versions of Flash for your computer. Or you can try upgrading your computer's version of OS X in order to use a more recent version of Flash.

  • Keep messages not working

    My keep messages setting doesn't seem to be working - I have it set to 6 months and I have emails older than that which are not being automatically removed (I have checked +/-2months). I have had the current device since Oct 09 and unsaved messages start July 09 that were brought over when I switched devices. I changed the setting from forever to 6 months about a month ago, early December of 09 and I still see all unsaved emails from July onwards.
    While I still have plenty of free space, the device is getting sluggish (keep getting the black spinning clock) - ordinarily I would use delete prior but I have recently discovered that the behavior of delete prior is different from the auto clean up - delete prior removes saved emails from their respective folders and just keeps a copy in the saved messages folder, while auto cleanup keeps them filed correctly. 
    I initially had the keep messages set to Forever - I tried changing the setting to 5 months, 6months, etc, giving it a few days, but no difference - old unsaved messages are still there. I tried updating the core software using BB Desktop - no difference. 
    Can anyone provide details on how the functionality is supposed to work, ie if today is Jan 26 and the setting is 6 months, as of what date should emails be removed - Jul 26? 
    I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed/test the issue. I would prefer to avoid a wipe and restore since I am not entirely clear on how to keep my messages, 3rd party apps, and most importantly, the BES activation in case of a wipe and would like to avoid involving my IT department. 
    I have a BB tour 9630 BES version 4.1.7.57
    Thank you in advance!

    Quite honestly, I think that is exactly where you need to turn. It is their device and their BES, and they may very well have some setting on the BES overriding your device setting.

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

    Hi,
    What is your table structure.
    The command  AT ........ENDAT  work in sequential order.
    Let me explain with example.
    if your table itab has two column  column1 and column2
    loop at itab into wa.
    at new column2.
    // This will execute when the Value of column 1 change or column2
    // change.
    endat.
    endlloop.
    The solution of your problem is.
    Change your internal table column order ,
    Put the column first for which you want to calculate the sum.
    Thanks & Regards

  • HT4968 Calendar is locked on my Mac. I keep getting the message "The server responded with an error: Access to iCloud is not permitted. The server responded 403 to operation caldavmigrate to server queue able operation." How do I resolve?

    Calendar is locked on my MAC.
    I keep getting the message" The server responded with an error: Access to icloud is not permitted. The server responded 403 to oepration caldavmigrate to server queueable operation."
    How do I recify?

    We previously had a similar issue when migrating multiple accounts from MobileMe to iCloud.  The issue was resolved by disabling and then enabling iCal sync through iCloud on our iMacs in System Preferences.
    Always backup your calendar before troubleshooting (File > Export > iCal Archive).
    The following steps are roughly from a Apple Support Community discussion.
    Open iCloud in System Preferences.
    Switch off (uncheck) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
    Backup iCal before doing this. You will need to remove calendar data.
    Open iCal and verify the iCloud account is removed in the iCal preferences under accounts.
    Close iCal, reopen System Preference and switch on (check) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
    Reopen iCal and verify the iCloud account is enabled in the iCal preferences under accounts.
    At this point if the problem persists you might try completely signing out of iCloud and then signing back in. But remember to backup all related data (iCal, Contacts, Mail, Photostream, etc) before turning off iCloud sync!

  • In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have in on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data?

    Macbook pro, os 9.4.1.
    In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have the info on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data on my mac?

    My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
    I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
    My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
    If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.
