Starting mail after installing Lion

Hi,
I installed Lion on my MacbookPro (2008) yesterday. Everything is working fine, except mail. When i start mail, it says (ranslated from nowegian): "Mail needs to organize he database, press continue". When i press continue it says: "Transfering data". Then everything freezes. Solutions anyone?

Problem Solved, I'll put it down to operator error.
After checking out the Preferences for Mail and for that one particular email address I found that the password had one too many digits so I reentered the password and it worked just fine.
Don't ask me how come the extra digit as I haven't had any reason to go into Mail Preferences for months and all of the addresses were working fine until after loading Lion.

Problem starting up after installing Lion

After installing Lion I get this error message when starting and getting to the desktop:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button untilnit turns off, then press the power button again."
Starting in safe mode works fine.

That could be the wording presented by 10.7 when a kernel panic occurs.
If so, consider first the possibility of an issue with third party software or hardware.

Can't get comcast mail after installing Lion

Hi All,
I've read a lot about problems with Comcast emails after Lion has been installed but couldn't find anything that was just like my situation.
I just installed Lion and created iCloud last night and this morning when I went to check my emails in Apple Mail I found that one of my Comcast email addresses would not connect.
I have 4 Comcast email addresses and one other address. All of the addresses are working like they should except one of the Comcast addresses.
I can send email from the address but can't receive anything.
I seem to remember during the setting up process for iCloud I was asked to choose 3 security questions and answers and to provide an email address which I think would be used in the event I forgot my security answers, but I'm not quite certain of it's purpose.
Anyhow the email address I gave them for that purpose was the one Comcast address that does not work now, so I have a feeling that somehow the problem is with Apple and iCloud but not sure about that.
I've read lots of posts that are similar to mine but in their case none of the Comcast emails would work at all.
I'd appreciate any suggestions that I can try to fix this problem.
Thanks

Any way to import entourage 2004 info (messages and addresses) into Mail - after installing Lion?

I have just installed Lion - Entourage 2004 nop longer works (ok, I should have checked!). Does anyone know if I can set up Mail to import all my Entourage info (account details, emails and addresses)?

The thing is, sometimes when I send PDFs it's fine, and sometimes she gets it and it's a jpeg and embedded ... not consistent at all ... I didn't assume for sure it was on my end, but without sitting at her computer and looking at Outlook, which I'll do the next time we meet, it's hard to know what's going on.
I do know that sometimes when I attach a PDF, the whole thing shows up in the body of the email (like it's embedded), and sometimes it's just a PDF icon attachment, and so I know that's something happening on my end before I even send the file, but can't for the life of me figure out what.
I like Mail a lot. But it does lack features that Outlook and Entourage have that I like. For instance being able to send an attachment to the main recipient only, and not the CCs and BCCs, which I used to so that a client knew I was sending the final high-res file to a printer, without having to send it to them. And I never had attachment problems when I used those programs, but maybe that's simply a function of using PC to PC programs.

Cannot start iTunes after installing Lion

I installed Lion Mac OSx, then I started iTunes.
It didn' work, an error message appeared asking me to check whether this version of iTunes works on this vesion of Mac OS. As well, the message asked me to get the latest iTunes and Mac OS update, which I did.
But the same message appears again.
I totally removed iTunes and re-installed it, but nothing new.
Please help.

you can't install XP on new 2011 Macs.
Boot Camp 4.0 doesn't include drivers, that does not mean you can't install XP.
Boot Camp 4 Lion Installation & Setup Guide (PDF)
While Boot Camp 4.0 will run in eitherSnow Leopard or Lion, it is a requirement for setting up new Windows installations in Lion even though existing Boot Camp 3 installations will continue to work in Lion if you upgrade your systems. What this means is that if you have an existing Windows XP or Vista installation when you upgrade to Lion then Boot Camp will still work, but you will not be able to upgrade it to version 4 or later.
Boot Camp 4 requires Windows 7 or later | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
You don't NEED new 4.0 drivers, that is settled.
There is one sentence in the above article that needs to be confirmed, I highly doubt the accuracy:
if you decide to set up a dual-boot environment for Windows from a Lion installation then you will need to have Windows 7 or later, as your older XP or Vista discs will not work.
The only way Lion can allow XP to boot if it was there before, but not allow installing, would have to be the GPT partition.
Block = prevent = "cannot install" IS a form of blocking and preventing.
So Apple does block.
OP:
My iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) or iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) displays a black screen during installation of Microsoft Windows 7 using the Boot Camp Assistant. How do I fix it?
The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article.

Mail search problems after installing Lion

After installing Lion search in mail app dosent work correctly anymore. I keep thousands of emails in my mailbox and usually search needed email by typing sender to search, now it find only few sender. Any help anyone?

I ran into the same problem with only some messages (if any at all) showing up in the searches in Mail. For an example, I have over 100 messages from Netflix within all my mail folders (trash included) but when I search for anything containing "netflix" it would only pull up 2 messages from my trash folder on two random dates. This was the case for ANY searches I was trying to pull up, not just for netflix emails.
I spoke to an iOS Senior Advisor who did a screen share with me (because he had never heard of the problem previously) and after reviewing the issue, he said he will be taking this up to the engineers.
Here is what fixed the problem for me:
1. Enable Indexing
Open Terminal, and type the following: sudo mdutil -i on /
If it asks for your password, type it in and hit return.
Re-open mail. If this didn't fix anything, then you will need to re-index:
2. Re-indexing HD
Go to System Preferences, Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, click on the + to add the entire Macintosh HD to the list of "Prevent spotlight from searching these locations" and then remove the Macintosh HD by clicking the - button.
Once you've done this is will automatically start re-indexing in spotlight. This took about 90 minutes on my computer, but once it was done, I re-opened mail and it was working properly again.
If you still run into issues, I've heard that in Mail, clicking on "Mailbox" then "Rebuild" can sometimes fix the issue. Let me know if any of those steps worked for you!

Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

Hi
I give up. I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion. My mail is not being deleted. Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion.
Any recommendations?

I have the same problem. Upgraded to ML, and my Mac Mail suddenly can't communicate with Gmail's SMTP server.
I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to. So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari! That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!

I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Apache not starting after installing Lion

After installing Lion, my Apache local service doesn't start anymore.
in System Preferences > Sharing, the Web Sharing is not checked anymore.
If I (try to) check it, it try for half a second, and then is unchecked again.
No error message. I also reinstalled the last Xcode package, rebooted, nothing.
What to do? Thank you!

Commenting out that line simply disables mod_fastcgi (which might caus performance problems under a load).
In case you really need the mod_fastcgi to speed up apache2 you can easily compile and install it given you have the xcode development env installed.
(i've chosen the latest version which is a snap but still roughly 2 years old.)
cd /tmp
curl -O -L http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
tar zxf mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
cd mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz
cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
make topdir=/usr/share/httpd
sudo make install
this will install the apache mod_fastcgi.so into apples apache2 install and you should be able to continue with a fastcgi setup.
So far this has worked for me w/o any problem.
cheers

Mail doesn't sync properly with my university IMAP mail account after installing LION... worked great before with snow leopard.

Unable to load many web based games after installing lion

After installing Lion, I am unable to launch several online games (Pogo e.g.). What compatibility issues are being addressed?

I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP. I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all. That didn't fix my issue.
I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive. That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it. Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software. In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem. After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be? I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer. I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development. So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.

Time capsule problems after installing Lion

After installing Lion, I need to regularly shut down iMac(Intel) in order to have Time capsule do the next backup. This method allows me to manually back up the automatic function to back up no longer exists. Also unable to connect to the backup disk.

Mine needs backing up immediately after its just backed up!! Its crazy!! IOS5 was supposed to be free but as a result I had to pay to upgrade to Lion then I had to pay to upgrade to iPhoto 11 just to be able to transfer photos from my iphone!! On top of this, Lion runs as slow as a PC, asks to backup constantly, I'm losing iDisk and iWeb next year and they've removed the bounce facility from Mail. Blinding. Well done Apple - who's brainwave was Lion and IOS5? Bill Gates?
