On My Mac? Folder/ Mailboxes not showing up

I am trying to create "folders" to move emails from my inbox to individual "folders". I created smart mail boxes but if I delete the email out of the regular inbox then it deletes it out of the smart box.
I then tried move and email to ON MY MAC and creating a title. The help says that all ON MY Mac boxes displays on the left hand tool bar. ON My MAC is there but it is greyed out and the two boxes I created do not show. In fact I can not find those boxes unless I select Move to or Copy to.
There are certain emails that I need to keep but don't want them cluttering up my inbox. I thought the smartbox would work as that it would automatically directed my emails to the appropriate box. But it shows in both. What am I doing wrong or does mail not do this, do I need to use outlook thru my paralells.
Please Help. I found the mail help useless. ( Oh and I in no way can create Smart mail box folder--it is continually greyed out no matter what I try)
Frustrated

You can't do what you want to do with Smart Mailboxes. What you need to do is go to "Mail - Preferences - Rules" and then set up regular mailboxes that have rules attached (like "send to FACEBOOK mailbox" if sender has the word "facebook" in it or whatever you want); that will send various types of mail to mailboxes (they are more like folders) and you'll never see them in your inbox, but you will get a count of new messages in each mailbox.

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.

Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen

why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.

davenug,
given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

Gmail mailboxes not showing up in Mail

In Mail, I see all of the mailboxes for "on my mac" but there is nothing for Gmail. At the top there's a place showing my Gmail inbox, but nothing showing any folders. Not even "Gmail" with an arrow to click. It's just "on my mac" and "RSS". I've looked at numerous discussions and made sure all of the settings are correct both in Mail and in my Gmail account. I even deleted the account and re-added it. I also have other e-mails linked to Mail, and none of them have any mailboxes that show up. When I try and add a new mailbox, having it under Gmail or any other e-mail account other than "on my mac" isn't even an option. My end goal is to add the mailboxes from "on my mac" into Gmail. Help!!

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

IPad 3 Mailboxes not showing even after syncing with iMac and switching on SSL and port readings the same; even tried rebuild. Switched iPad off, rebooted and discovered settings went back to preset?

Hi to all techies,
Ipad3 with new iMail does not show mailboxes. Have tried swithcing SSL on and making port same number 993 as imac; then telling imail in imac to synchronise but to no avail still no mailboxes appearing on ipad mail. My husbands new ipad air worked straight away same OS?

I'm sorry. I probably wasn't clear enough in my response. What I am saying is that one can create mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those mailboxes can be for local storage only - the "on my Mac" mailboxes. Those do sync to any other device. The ability to creat those mailboxes is a feature of the Mac mail app.
You cannot create additional mailboxes on the iPad unless your email account is an IMAP account. I am not familiar with BT internet at all so I don't know if you have IMAP or not. I assume that your husband has the same email provider and if his mailboxes did sync to the iPad, then yours should as well.
You can check to be sure if you don't know if your email account is an IMAP account. If you go to your email account in the iPad Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom. If an new mailbox appears, you have IMAP.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

My shared folder is not showing on the left side of my itunes.

I recently got a media server connected to my wireless router and was able to configure it to be used in itunes. My problem is that my Itunes in my mac book pro does not show the shared folders on the left side no matter what I do. In my wife's imac the shared folder is there and I can stream the music in my media server on to her Imac.
Please help.
Thank you.

IDCS3 - Mac: Plugins do not show up on production machines

I have converted a series of plugins on my Mac from CS2 to CS3 and have made their release versions available to our production people. I can see them fine on my box, but when the plugins are installed on Macs other than my own the plugins do not show up inside of InDesign. I have verified that the plugins are installed in the appropriate location on the hard drive. Has anyone else had similar problems and if they did, how did they solve it?
TIA!
John

Hi John,
Sorry about my confusing message. "CFShow(CFSTR("your message"));" is a way to output text from your code to the Console in runtime. You may be able to determine the flow of your code.

I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Mac book pro not showing low battery waring

hi....i bought ma mb pro arnd three months back.....from the past few days i have been observing tha my mac is not showing low battery warning when the battery is drained.....plz suggest me what should be done to overcome this problem....thanx...

The first step is to try re-calibrating the battery, sorabh.
See the instructions for this at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
You may also need to reset your SMC - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If the computer shuts down instead of sleeping when it runs out of charge try avoiding using it when it gets close to empty during the re-calibration process and just let it idle until it sleeps. Sometimes, when the battery is very low and badly calibrated , if you are using it a sudden demand for current can cause it to shut down suddenly instead.
If the above processes don't fix it, then have a look under the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info and check in the "Power" section under "Hardware". Post the figures that are shown there for "Full Charge Capacity", "Cycle Count" and "Condition"
Cheers
Rod
