Trying to Restore or Open AOL-For-Mac Filing Cabinet

I had to reinstall AOL for Mac, so before doing so and losing all the AOL mail that was in my filing cabinet, I copied the filing cabinet to my Mac desktop. It is now there, and it contains over 3 megabytes, so I know my mail is sitting there on my desktop. But when I try to get it back into AOL I cannot, and while it shows up in Finder, I can't do anything with it.
I have also tried, unsuccessfully, to move it to Mail.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Welcome To Discussions Alpsteiner!
Did you move the file named Your AOL Screen Name's Filing Cabinet, from;
HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE?
In that same location, do you now have a new file named Your AOL Screen Name's Filing Cabinet, that is much smaller?

  • AOL for Mac Freezes????

    AOL for Mac freezes about once a day. When this happens the wheel spins and nothing else happens. In order to regain control, I have to hit the on/off switch in back. I don't like doing this, but I can't get to reboot or restart anyother way. It happens when trying to get mail sometimes or it will just sit there and be froozen.
    Help

    Thanks Ali,
    I have only one account and several screen names. It happens in all of them. I am using 10.3.7.
    Happens sometimes before i can get to opening email. sometimes I hear the welcome sound and then the freeze sets in. I emailed aol. so far no reply.

    Hi LarryJay!
    Are you using AOL For Mac OS X Version
    10.3.7?
    Do you have more than one AOL account, and if so,
    does this happen in all accounts?
    Does this only happen when opening Email?
    Also, as you have incorrectly shutdown a number of
    times, I suggest that you run Repair Disk.

  • Opening Safari for Mac Web Archives in Safari for Windows???

    I need to open Safari for Mac Web Archives (saved html web pages on a Mac) on my Windows PC at work. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? The original Web Pages are no longer available and the data in the Archives is the only set left.
    I've tried opening the files with Safari for Windows but that doesn't work. I've also tried renaming the web archives from file.webarchive to file.html and that doesn't work either.
    Does anyone out there have any suggestions for accomplishing this task??? Thanks in advance for your help!
    YV

    If you can move your archives to a Mac I think you can convert them to folders with Webarchive Folderizer and then move back to your pc:

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

  • Cannot install Apache Open Office for mac

    I downloaded Apache Open Office for Mac but cannot complete installation
    I believe I have completed all instructions from Open Office.org but the application does not appear in Applications nor in the Dock

    You downloaded the file, opened the disk image, and dragged the OpenOffice application to the Applications folder, per these instructions?

  • Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?

    I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?  Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

    I assume that you are using  Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
    The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
    Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

  • AOL for Mac Question

    Sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread, but I couldn't find a proper place anywhere else. I downloaded AOL for Mac and it works pretty good, the only problem I've had with it is in checking people's profiles. Whenever I do put someone's screen name in the profile-checker text bar and hit enter, it always, no matter what the screen name, brings up a blank web page with nothing but an aster ix (*) on it. That's it. What's the solution?

    If you downloaded & installed AIM 4.7, go to the bottom of the website & click on the Support link. If still having problems, cross-post over in one of the iChat AV Forums where the AIM users hang out.
    Did you repair permissions after installing AIM?

  • AOL for MAC OS

    Hi - i subscribe to AOL & have just installed AOL for MAC OS on my ibook. I live in the UK but it seems that the AOL SOFTWARE is linked to servers in the USA....so when I log-on the welcome page it assumes i'm in America. Does anyone out there (in the UK)use AOL on their MAC whose welcome page points to aol.co.uk rather than aol.com? Can anyone help me adjust my settings OR is there a UK version of AOL software for MAC? Any advice much appreciated.

    Under AOL at the top of the screen click on preferences.
    Then in the new window click on www on the left hand side.
    The in the homepage text box enter www.aol.co.uk.
    Job done
    Also check you regonal settings in system preferences (international and date and time). If you mac is still set to US and not GB then AOL will default to the US server rather than the UK server.
    Once set to GB even if you type aol.com you will get a redirect to the UK server.

  • AOL for mac crashing?

    I often notice that when I restart my macbook, there is a "recovered files" folder in the trash. Many of the files appear to be from aol for mac. Could this mean that aol is crashing or not closing correctly, and if so, how can I fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance?

    Rich,
    "...is there any way of preventing this from
    happening?".
    I'm not sure about recovered items from applications
    other than AOL, and I haven't tested this
    theory yet, but maybe, if from AOL Preferences
    WWW > Display:
    you select Empty Cache Now, and click
    OK, the AOL files will not appear after
    a restart.
    And Thank You, for extending the
    courtesy, of awarding stars in
    Discussions!
    ali b
    Wow!! That absolutely worked. I went into the WWW settings and emptied the cache and then disabled the feature altogether. No more recovered items folder in the trash
    Like magic!!
    Thanks alot for your help!!!

  • When tried to download Firefox 5.0 for Mac, would not open, now have NO SOUND on my Mac!!

    Firefox upgrade to 5.0 for Mac loaded, but symbol had 0 with a line thru it, and now the sound on my Mac is showing the same symbol! I cannot get the sound back!! HELP please! Had no idea trying to upgrade could screw up my computer!!!

    Hi ARCHER49,
    You should try going to this page:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Find your version language version of Firefox 12 and try the download from there. You might also want to check your downloads folder just in case it has been downloaded already ;)
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Forgot restriction passcode, tried to restore but it asked for my restrictions passcode

    I'm in a catch 22. Can't remember restrictions code, but need to turn off restrictions. Tried to factory restore and it first asks for my regular passcode, then asks for restrictions passcode. I don't have iTunes.

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode

    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Opening Word for Mac on a PC

    I use Word for Mac 2008 on my iMac and MacBook because I need to send files to PC users, but many recipients can't open the files. I can't help wondering what 'compatability mode' is about if the files can't be opened by different computers without the users downloading additional software (which business users would be unlikely to welcome). I have also tried saving files in .docx and .dot formats, but the result is the same.
    I realise that this might not be a problem for the present forum, but can anyone suggest a decent alternative informational source? I've tried Mactopia and can't find anything that really covers this, besides which answers, if any, are slow in coming.

    Thanks for all the input and advice.
    In answer to rkaufmann87, I meant .doc – careless of me.
    Carolyn Samit asks if I click ‘Attach’ in Mac Mail. Well, Carolyn, this is going to amaze you. It certainly amazes me, because in all the years that I’ve used Mac Mail it has never occurred to me to click ‘Attach’. I drag my files into the body on an email. That could be my problem, so thanks for that. From now on I will ‘Attach, Attach, Attach’. Please imagine me banging my very thick head on my desk as I write this!
    Steve M mentions using a previous version of Word. Good point. I never had any trouble with previous versions – even dragging 50,000 word files into the emails. As for ‘compatibility mode’ – the phrase automatically follows every Word file I create. I find it rather irritating and have tried to find ways to eliminate it, but it persists.
