Server Admin crashes and cannot save mail server changes

Problems:
1. In one account, Server Admin crashes on startup.
2. As a workaround, I created another account where SA does start. However, in this account it disconnects from the server any time I want to save changes to the mail settings. Nothing gets saved.
Questions:
a. Can this have happened because I earlier deleted mail accounts in SA without going through curadm?
b. If so, will deleting the accounts in curadm solve the problem?
c. If not, what could have caused this sorry state of affairs?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't mention before that after deleting the .plist file, the mail server would no longer accept incoming connections. Restoring the old .plist file and restarting the mail server didn' t help, so I went back to my backup. Then I had to restart the amavisd demon manually to get the mail queue started.
I hope that the rewritten ServerAdmin in 10.5 will be a bit more robust...

Lion--Lost and cannot save mail signatures

Greetings:
I have lost and cannot replace my mail signatures in Lion. They were working perfect in Snow Leopard. When I input them, the signatures are lost/blank after I close and restart the Mail program. Help!

Cannot Save Mail Preferences in Mavericks

Hi Friends,
I am using Apple Mail, Mavericks (10.9.1) and cannot save Mailbox Behaviors for my IMAP Gmail accounts. Even after I have "saved" them, they return to everything being stored on the server. This configuration runs counter to Google's recommended settings.
I am running OSX 10.9.1 and therefore have the Mail Update installed. Any fixes out there?
Thanks,
Falguni

Delete the account and re-add the gmail account inside Apple mail instead of from the system preferences. Mail > Accounts.
There are a ton of gmail issues going on so you might be better off using the web interface or a 3rd party mail program until Apple and Google work out their issues (Google isn't following IMAP and Apple's attempt at patching it has made it worse for many).
If you are using any custom GMAIL setting on their server side that could also be causing issues in Apple Mail. If you are using 2 step authentication make sure Apple Mail has a custom password issued for it.
Best of luck

You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.
Transfer music purchased from iTunes

For other music you will require a 3rd party program

PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error. I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
has found an error and cannot save the file.
This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved. The template has been used without error many, many times.
I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
Kind regards

Hi,
Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

I uninstalled Safari because it kept crashing and cannot find where to get a new installation. Do I have to reinstall Lion?and cannot find

I uninstalled Safari because it kept crashing and cannot find where to get a new installation.

There's no official download - the simplest thing is to reinstall via Recovery. That's only a problem if downloading 4+GB is difficult. Your files/data should remain intact, although you'd want backups in any case.

I have somehow lost my outgoing mail servers list and cannot send mail.

2. The disk will appear on the desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) Mail.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After Mail has been reinstalled, download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1, for Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Updatefor Leopard to bring Mail up to the most recent version.

Please always post your system when you have a query - in this case it makes a considerable difference to the answer.
Is your system pre-Lion? Earlier systems are not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

Stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail.

Hi,
I'm using Chrome on my Windows 7 PC and whenever I sign into my iCloud account to read my mail I get stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail. I can open the other items such as Contacts, Calender etc but clicking on Mail just brings me back to 'Introducing VIP mailbox'.
Does anyone else suffer from this issue?
Cheers,
Davian

HT1386 after synching iCloud to my desktop, my Outlook crashed and cannot be repaired; how do I unsynch?

after synching to my desktop, Outlook crashed and cannot be repaired even using the original disk; it will come back up after re-boot, load new emails, work for about 5 minutes, then die; how do I unsynch?

It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.
