Problems with certain mail attachments after moving them to a different folder in Mail

I am using Mac Mail as my default email client, and every once in a while when I move a message with an attachment from one folder to another (for example from my Inbox to my Personal folder) in Mail, the attachment will no longer show up, but rather an infinite set of characters.
I know it's a problem with my local Mac Mail client, since:
I can see the attachments perfectly in my webmail
I can see the attachments perfectly in my other Mac's Mail client, as well as on my iPhone and iPad.
This is a sample of what it looks like:

Any ideas?

Get info on the drive. What format? FAT drives may be behave erratically for heavy-duty use of the kind you are doing. It's okay to leave a flash drive FAT formatted for light use but for heavy-duty file transfer I think you can encounter issues.
iTunes does not look at files directly. It maintains a database (library.itl) of the files in its collection. When you play a track it looks up where that file is located and goes and plays the file in that location. If you manually move a file or folder used by iTunes that database is no longer correct and you get broken links ( ! ). If you want to move files or folders with iTunes you have to let iTunes do it. Since iTunes is organizing your library there isn't much flexibility in what you can do other than move the whole collection to a different folder by changing the media location preference in preferences.

Problem with Mult-Room DVR after moving to new location

We are having a remodeling project done in our Family room so I moved the multi-room DVR to another room to continue recording. While I can see the DVR from our bedroom DVR (also multi-room), the moved DVR does not appear to be recording anything. While we can see programs that were recorded (including at least one recording done after I made the move), the DVR states that they are no scheduled recordings (despite several series recordings being scheduled). a reboot of the box doesn;t seems to have done the trick.
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem?

Now it seems to be working fine. Before the newer backups weren't showing. It was just skipping from today to a few years ago. I checked this a couple of days in a row originally because at first I just figured that it hadn't created enough backups to show. The weirdest things is that there seems to be a couple of years missing. I know I've backed up the old computer between 2008 and 2010. Where did those files go?
It looks like Time Machine thinks you've had two separate Macs, thus the different names. You may be able to use the (badly named in this case) +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #17 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), to see the "other" Mac's backups.
1. Can I delete the old backups? The reason I would like to do this is to free up space on the external hard drive.
Yes, but not via the Finder or Terminal. You'll have to locate them via the "Star Wars" display, per #12 in the FAQ.
But if you have (or are thinking of putting) other data on the drive, in the same partition as your backups, don't. See #3 in the FAQ.
2. If I change the name of the file as described, will time machine find it?
+*NO !+* Never change, delete, or move anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal; that can corrupt them beyond repair !

Problems with input accented characters after moving JInitiator to JDK 1.5

After upgrading from JInitiator 1.3.1.18 to JDK 1.5.0_06 (jdk plugin in IE), the input of accented characters (in our case portuguese) isn't working anymore in text areas on the forms (Forms 10g).
So, if you push first the "´" key and then the "a" key, you should get as result "á" (worked correctly with JInitiator), but after upgrading to JDK 1.5 you will get simply a letter "a".
Pressing Alt + 160 shows correctly "á".
Somebody can give a clue about this problem please?
Downgrading again to JInitiator is no option for us, as we need a more modern JVM (for a Dicom viewer applet we developed), and IE crashes if you have an Oracle form running with JInitiator, and then try to open another IE page with an applet requesting JVM 1.5 ...
Thanks a lot for your comments.

In IE, the server must be in the Trusted Sites list & the security for Trusted Sites set to low
Tools -> Internet Options
Security Tab
Sites button
Add all Forms servers, or use a wildcard to get your entire domain. If you are not using SSL, uncheck the "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone"
Set the Security Level for this zone to Low. If the slider bar is not there, click the Default Level button, then slide the security setting to low.

Should I delete files after moving them to a shared folder

I just transfered files from the hard drive to a shared folder so that both users on the computer could have access to the files. I was wondering if I should delete them from the hard drive and leave them only in the shared folder since it is about 100GB of stuff?
Thanks

if you just dragged & dropped them in the finder, the files will have been moved, not copied, to the shared folder. there shouldn't be any originals in the original location.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

New 4s connects with bluetooth in my Lexus, but I have intermittent problems with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never did this with 3gs. Anyone else have this problem?

New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth. Having intermittent problem with calls. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Never a problem with 3gs phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers
