Reimporting hotmail after OS reinstall

**** all,
I had to reinstall my OS and everythig went fine. I copied my users folder prior to the reinstall and copied it back to my /Users/ folder after the OS reinstall. For some strange reason mail reimported all of my accounts except for the hotmail account. I can see the hotmail account in the /Users/Mail/ folder and it appears all my emails are there but hotmail was the only account that was not reimported in Mail when I opened mail after the reinstall.
I tried using the import mail function in Mail to re-establish my hotmail account but this was a no go. So, I was forced to go into preferences to restablish my hotmail login and everything is now working fine. However, by doing this I thought that Mail would put two and two together and combine my existing hotmail account in the Mail folder that you can see but can't import with the new information that I input in Mail preferences. Unfortunately not so!
What has happened is I now see two folders for hotmail in the /Users/Mail/ folder. One says HTTPMail-"username"@null" and the other say HTTPMail-"username"@hotmail.com. My old emails are in the "user@null" folder and have not been imported into Mail.
My question is as follows: How can I now combine or transfer my old hotmail in the "user@null" folder with the NEW "[email protected]" folder so that I can see all of my emails in Mail.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Right click on the item in the dock to bring up the contextual menu of options and select list.
Or are you talking about the folder itelf? In which case, in the Finder, select the menu View and choose "as List".

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

After a reinstall of Mac OSX 10.6.8 on my iMac, several directories were "locked" and unavailable. Can someone tell me how to unlock my Downloads, Google Plus, Dropbox and movies? Thanks!

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

E51 Driver won't install after XP reinstall

I have been using my E51 with PC Suite 6.86.9.3 on XPSP2 for several months and all was fine. I had need to reinstall XP using the "Upgrade" option - i.e. keeping all your applications and settings.
After the reinstall, the E51 will not load. It says:
"Nokia E51 USB Phone Parent - An error occurred during the installation of this device - Fatal error duing installation"
I have, of course, removed all the drivers by hand (wdfcoinstaller01005.dll nmwcdcocls.dll, ccdcmd.sys etc), cleaned the registry, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled PC Suite, located the correct inf file (oem31.inf in my case), tried automatic driver install, manual driver install etc etc and after several hours work trying various combinations of the above, still the same message whenever I update the driver for the phone.
Has anyone had this before? I don't want to do a clean install of XP and reinstall all my apps, but I might have to.

Fixed - this message helps!

Acrobat X Pro won't open. Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall. What can I do?

Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.

Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is still running and not responding close firefox...

Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
What can I do?

Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.

Lost disk space after each reinstall.

I've had to reinstall leopard on my macbook three times in the last week for different reasons. After each reinstall(erase and install) it appeared that I lost a little more GB to the HDD. I have a 250GB HDD, and I know it actualls reads as 232.87, but without uploading any media and only using the reinstall disks that came with the box, I have only 218 or so GB. Is this normal? I can't find the numbers anywhere; they just don't add up.

My guess is that you have added up the sizes of the folders visible in Finder at the root level of the drive (Applications, Library, System, & Users) & compared that total to the total space used on the drive. The two numbers will not match because there are also hidden files & folders at the root level of the drive that Finder does not normally show. The hidden items are necessary for the proper operation of the Mac & in normal use are managed by the system. Since users should not tamper with them directly without good reason & it requires expert knowledge to do so without breaking anything, they have been made invisible in the Finder view.
It is normal for the drive space used by these items to fluctuate, & for the total to grow somewhat after first installing the OS. Some of the items contain temporary files that are created & destroyed as needed. Some contain usage, crash, & other informational logs that are managed by routines that the system automatically runs periodically to keep their total from becoming too large. Others contain initialization data gathered over time that the system uses to start up or to run processes efficiently.
Thus, there is no fixed correct number for their total size since that depends on the history & current state of the machine. On my iMac G5, one large hidden folder ("var") currently uses about 1.05 GB of drive space, but consider that only a ballpark number since it may be considerably different on different Macs at different times.
If you are still concerned about the health of the drive, especially that something is eating up disk space unnecessarily, then run Disk Utility to check it. In the "First Aid" tab select your drive & click the "Verify Disk" button. If this reports no problems then you can be pretty sure there is nothing to worry about.

Help! DW8 won't load after Windows reinstall

A couple of days ago I was obliged to to reinstall Windows XP
Pro and all of my applications, including Dreamweaver 8. There have
been no other problems, and DW worked fine as usual just after the
reinstall, but since then it has refused to load - the initial
screen comes on but the application window just flashes for a split
second and the program disappears from memory. I've uninstalled and
reinstalled twice and have run a mild registry cleaning utility
with no effect. What could this be, and how can I fix it? I rely on
DW and use it daily and really need to get it up and running!
Thanks for any advice.

Never mind - on the third try for tech support (was steered
into the wrong queue the first two times and had given up, but
there was no reply on this forum either, so I tried again) I got
through and got help. Problem was that DW8 needed to have an update
applied, but the updater was looking for it on the Macromedia site
rather than the Adobe site. The registry key needed to be cleared
and the update downloaded and installed. All is well now.

Weblogic console not work after JDK reinstalled

Hi all:
After i reinstalled JDK 1.3.1, the weblogic console doesn't work any
more. Previously i am using jdk1.3, and the console works.
Weblogic server itself can run without any effect. But now when i
click console in windows startup menu, the error msg is "WEblogic Err
Occurred: Java dll not found. Bad value for JAVA_HOME................".
After i copied javai.dll into the every possible folder, it still
compliants this error.
What is happenning here? Do i have to reinstall weblogic? Actullay i
try to do that, but weblogic asks me to remove the previous installation
first, and make sure to remove some windows registration
items..............headache!
Does any one know how to get around this? Seems the sonsole is using
windows specific infor inclduing dll and registration.......etc.
Thanks.
minjiang

Ok, partly i solved the problem. Now i can run weblogic console by using
startconcole.cmd file, not the other one called weblogic\bin\wlconsolew.exe
(although previously i can).
Don't know what caused this.
Thanks.

Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
My questions are follows:
Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
Which webcam I should get?
Thank you very much!
Tian

Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

Firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -

firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -
have not yet uninstalled with deletion of all user files.
greasemonkey runs some javascripts - I don't give a hoot if they are "secure" or not, or indeed anything about "security". oh well I am odd that way.

Firefox beta 17.0b2 - Windows 7 pro x64 - problem started 10.13.12 after whatever Firefox auto update(s) installed that day. Not all sites, but MANY. e.g., Facebook. Whether Javascript enabled or not, with Firefox extensions/plugins on or off. Experienced as few as 4, as many as 20 (!!!!) error boxes to close before able to continue - depending on the site. Open in another tab or window still error boxes on CURRENT window, even if current site has no problem. Page refresh causes error boxes again. Any navigation on offending site (clicking on site links, opening photos, etc.) causes, again, error boxes.
Troubleshooting: Uninstalled Java. Reboot, then tested Firefox, no relief. Uninstalled Firefox. Reboot. Reinstalled Firefox (17.0b2). Reboot, then tested again, no change. Upgraded Java to most recent (1.7.90.5). No change. Subsequently added Firebug and ConsoleExport so can provide more info.
