Share Mail data with my 10.5.8 install on other hard disk

Hi all, I'm currently using 10.5.8 as my primary startup disk, I want to set up a second drive with a Snow Leopard install, that's the easy part,
I want to be able to check my email when I'm in Snow Leopard mode, but I don't want to have my emails split between the two "Mail" installs
how do I get "Mail" in snow Leopard to look at/share the data with my Mail app on the 10.5.8 drive? so that I can keep all of my mail in one place until I'm ready to make the switch in full, over to Snow Leopard?
thanks

There isn't a way I can see doing this safely. The databases are unique to the operating system.

I can't turn off "share crash data with app developers"

I enabled this feature accidentally during the onboarding process for my new Macbook Pro, and now I can't turn it off as the button is greyed out. 
The feature is located in in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy. 
Any suggestions for how to do this?

cezinho,
Click on "Send diagnostics & usage data to Apple."
That will enable you to change "Share crash data with app developers."

I had a trouble with my lap top and had to format hard disk and install all soft ware again. could any body tell me how to transfer the application and data in my i phone back to my laptop.

You can't. It still thinks that your iPhone is synced with another iTunes library (the one that you had before you reformatted the hard drive.

Hello, since I actualized my Mac with Maverick it doesn't recognize any external hard disk ,... only the one to make copy on the time machine. Can anybody help me? thank you!!!!

How to Share BPM Data with iTunes Match?

To ensure my Songs have current lyrics and reasonably accurate 'beats per minute (BPM)' data I've regularly used 3rd party tools. Using one of the computers with my complete library this data is updated typically on adding new Songs / Albums. Have noted recently that the lyrics, BPM and so on immediately updates on the library concerned. However, these updates do not appear to be replicated with iTunes Match?
Whilst the Songs are immediately listed for download on all other libraries, the additional data is not being shared. How can iTunes Match be tempted to share such data?
[I do have an inelegant method under a post for Metadata from early '12 but hoping that a neater solution has now been identified?]

After careful assessment it appears that there are no improved methods for reliable sharing of Song data with iTunes Match beyond the basic method identified in this thread.
Investigation by beaTunes reached the following conclusion:
Even if beaTunes updated those privileged fields - I don't think that guarantees that all other fields are also synced.
Sounds to me like iTunes Match is fundamentally flawed :-("
It would be very helpful if Apple would allow users of iTunes Match and 3rd party developers to signal when Song data has been updates such that iTunes Match can ensure Songs across the (up to) 10 devices are synchronised.
Until such time, only adding Songs with iTunes Match off, updating Song data as needed prior to switching iTunes Match on seems the pragmatic route forward. For Songs otherwise imported they need to be removed and re-added in this style to yield consistent Song data.

HT3309 Share mail settings with new user account on the same mac?

I have had to set-up a new user account on my mbp to use a new piece of software which refused to work on the main user account. I want to transfer the mail settings from the original one simply so that mail opens in an identical way whichever account I'm siging in with.

Oops.
If you just need Mail settings, only copy

All the messages are in

I have a hard disk drive with data that i want to back up onto another hard disk drive. I tried just copy and it won't let me paste it in the new drive. I have also tried to drag the files across and they won't go across. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have an external hard disk drive with data that I want to back up onto another extrnal hard disk drive. I have tried to copy and paste but this wont give me a paste option. I have also tried to click and drag but it wont let me either. I have reformatted the external hard drive to accept both mac and pc files and this did not make any difference. Can anyone help me with this?

How did you reformat the drive? If you formatted it as NTFS, your Mac will not be able to write files to it unless you use a small application such as Paragon's.
Please reply as to how you formatted the drive.

HT2492 Is the decision not to share Calendar data with the iCal widget irrevocable?

Or is there a way to change this?

Have you checked the small info button (I) to see if there is a setting in the widget that would activate sharing? I couldn't find the widget to test.

I receive a large amount of duplicate emails in my own boxes that i have sent to others. when deleted they return every time i check my mail. along with any messages i have deleted from others can someone please help me?

when i send an email to someone i recieve multiple copies of it it my folders [ usally varying between all mail, trash, and important] they all say my name on them. i recieve about 20 - 40 of them at a time , even after i delete them next time i check my mail they are back . along with this any message that has been sent to me in the past that i have deleted also reappears but only as single messages. im recieving hundreds of all these a day and it has made my email become unmanagable and im extremly frustrated. my computer is new and i never made any change to the preferences before this started happening so i have no idea . has anyone had this problem , have any ideas or know how to fix it? your help would be greatly appreciated . also to add i also recieve them whenever checking mail on my iphone i never had a problem on the phone until i activated the email on my new imac. and the email app uses my gmail acount if that helps?

no, I didn't ask to burn a picture....this is why I am confused to how the picture got on there.
I understand what you are saying regarding the multi-session thing (how do I avoid this if my other cds with photos on them have this, and I don't know they do?)
but what I do know is that cd had photos on it (it definately wasn't full, and maybe that is why I haven't had a problem with others...they have all been full) and no one else uses my Mac, so I know no one else put the picture on that cd. I may have inadvertantly burned the picture, but if I did, I don't know what I did to make it burn the picture onto the cd.....
The only thing that happened was I opened iphoto so I could save some of the pictures that were already on the disc, but when I went to look for the pictures on the cd, the only thing that was on it, was an iphoto picture....which I didn't ask to be put there.....
I have previously burned pictures onto CD using my Mac with no problem, and I've pulled pictures off CD that were burned using a PC. So I guess I need to know how to determine if the cds have this multi-session thing going on?

Why would one of my MacBook Airs be able to Screen Share from work with the iMac at home while the other MBA not...?

I have 2 13-inch MacBook Airs. Also an iMac.
I could ScreenShare from both laptops at work with the iMac at home.
Suddenly I can only do so from one MBA, which sees the iMac, no problem.
But the other MBA cannot sse it any longer.
The MBAs can see each other.
All running the same OS and Apps.
Only difference is...
All have Multiple Apple IDs. ( 2 )
But one MBA was recently set to use the 2nd Apple ID as the main Apple ID
while the other MBA still uses the 1st, as does the iMac.
What is happening...?

That's the reason.
Unless you're using VNC or Apple Remote Desktop (which I assume you are not) both the MacBook Air and the the iMac need to be using the same iCloud account.
System Preferences>iCloud and make sure Back to My Mac is checked.

How do you share one iTunes with two phones but not get each other's apps when you sync?

My husband doesn't want to have the kid's apps or my apps download on his iphone when he syns to our one iTunes library....suggestions?

Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
Just do not select the apps that you do not want. Only select the apps that you do want.

MathScript Nugget #19: Sharing Data With Other Applications

In MathScript Nugget #18, we looked at ways to transfer data between MathSript and the rest of LabVIEW. In today's nugget, we'll see some of the different ways that MathScript can share data with programs besides LabVIEW.
The most common way to share data between programs is by reading and writing files. MathScript supports several file formats that are recognized by other programs. The ones we'll touch on in this nugget are MLV, MAT, CSV, TXT, TDM(S) and XLS.
The easiest way to bring data into MathScript is with the 'load' function. The help topic for this function does a great job of explaining it. The load function will bring in a group of variables that have been saved to a file earlier. The most common formats that load supports are:
MLV files created with MathScript save function
MAT files created with version 6.0 or earlier of The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® software
TDM and TDMS binary measurement files created in LabVIEW or DIAdem
The load and save functions are great for storing off a group of variables to be used again in a future session of MathScript. You can do the same thing using the Operate>>Load Data... and Operate>>Save Data... menu items in the MathScript Window. These support the same file formats as load and save.
The best formats to use if you want to share data with other applications are TXT, CSV, and XLS. MathScript has special funcitons to read and write each of these formats. The functions, such as fread_csv and fwrite_xls, are all members of the support class.
The last way to read and write data files with MathScript is to use a custom file format. MathScript supports common file operations like fread and fwrite. You can use these functions to create or import files of any binary or textual format.
There's one last way to move data out of MathScript without using files. You can copy data from the MathScript Window or MathScript Probe as tab-delimited text to your OS clipboard. You can then paste this text to a text editor or spreadsheet program.
Hopefully now you have an idea of the many ways to move data into and out of MathScript.

TDM and TDMS are also excellent file formats to share your data with other applications. National Instrumenst offers free libraries and add-ins to access TDM and TDMS files with e.g. Excel, OpenOffice Calc or The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® software. Have a look at this page to

Problem with Hard Disk after getting a replacement for a RAM Problem

Ok, so I bought a 17" Macbook pro about a week ago from Apple, then last night it crashed during some relatively processor intensive work and wouldn't boot again. I took it in to the apple store today, they ran diagnositics and it turned out it was a RAM issue, so, very kindly, they gave me a whole new machine with new RAM.
I didn't have time to wait in store for them to transfer my data, so the genius offered to give me the hard disk from my old machine so i could take it away and do the transfer myself (because i live in a different city) using a USB Hard Disk Caddy. I took him up on the offer, and bought the whole lot home with me.
I've just put the drive in an appropriate hard disk caddy and attached it to my machine, but I'm getting an error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer".
Allegedly the genius chap had already started the transfer when i asked him to leave it for me to do, so i guess he mustn't have had any problems with accessing it, but there's no trace on the new machine that he had been doing anything.
I guess my question is
A) is the disk screwed
and
B) Did it happen from the initial problem, in the apple store or is it another issue?

This could be caused by a number of different reasons. Is it possible for you to call up Apple and speak with the person whom was helping you?

Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro

http://www.hardmac.com/news/2009/07/13/stop-the-beeps-with-the-7200-rpm-hard-dis ks-of-the-macbook-pro
Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro
from HardMac.com by [email protected] (Lionel)
At the beginning of week, we have spoken about the unpleasant beeps made by the 7200 rpm hard drive proposed as an option in the MacBook Pro 2009.
A solution has been found, the details are given by Rémy.
These tedious beeps occur when the disc is inactive and are caused by a system
to reposition the play-back head carried out in a repetitive way.
In addition to the beeps of the hard drive, Mac OS X displays the pretty multicoloured wheel during some seconds while waiting for hard drive to finish these loadings and unloadings of the play-back head.
The solution comes with a utility of the name hdapm (for Hard Disk Advanced Power Management) which makes it possible to change the level of energy management (APM) of the hard drive.
Hdapm can be downloaded from : http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm; hdapm being a command line utility, it is thus necessary to use the Terminal (which is in /Applications/Utilitaires).
After copying hdapm into your user file, the command to enter is:
sudo ~/hdapm disk0 max
disk0 corresponds to the disc to regulate knowing that hdapm should function with any ATA disk supporting APM
max is the level of APM which is a number ranging between 1 and 254 included
the word following are preset and can used in the place a number for the level of APM
max (maximum performance) is the parameter to use to eliminate the “beeps”.
min (maximum economy of energy)
default (returns to the default setting)
The level of APM is a temporary adjustment in the firmware of the hard drive, this adjustment is lost when the disk is powered down and it is thus necessary to redo this at each for each start up.
To install hdapm so it is launched at each start-up, it is necessary to copy hdapm to the hard drive (/usr/local/bin is advised) and to copy the file hdapm.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
It will be can be necessary to you to edit hdapm.plist with the desired parameters; the default settings are: the repertory where hdapm is /usr/local/bin, the hard drive is regulated on the first (disk0) and the level of APM is the maximum.
You can simply copy the file hdapm into /usr/local/bin file if you want to avoid modifying Plist.
Simplest way to reach these files is to use the Go/go to the file and to copy/paste this address before validating.

Yeah, I don't buy that. I spoke with Seagate a couple of months ago when I was looking for the impossible to find 500 GB 7200 RPM HD and asked them that very thing. They told me it would work fine, but I should disable SMS. Apple told me the same thing. I ultimately waited and got a non G-Force model, but Seagate told me it would work.
I also don't believe that they'd OEM the drive to Apple knowing it wouldn't work. That makes absolutely no sense. If Seagate knew the G-Force drive would not function properly in an Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro, and they OEM'd it to Apple for that purpose anyway, what does that say about Seagate?
I admit it's odd that the used the G-Force model given the presence of SMS, but apparently Seagate has prioritized the manufacturing of the G-Force drives and probably offered it to Apple.
