Two questions: chmod and restore all of mail
What must I type on the command line to make all files readable by anyone on my time machine external disk?
I tried chmod 777 /volumes/2 TB
(2 TB is the name of the drive)
and how may I restore from a few days ago all my mail, i.e. the application, preferences, and mail boxes (and their contents). At the moment I can only view them as system admin. i.e. root.
bc
If you perform any such commands on your Time Machine volume it is unlikely you will ever be able to restore from it. You will have to use system admin to restore any applications. They may or may not work. You can copy the other documents to your machine in a place like /Users/Shared. Then, as a standard user, you can copy the file to where they need to be. The copy operation will set the ownership. Hopefully it will work. When you are all done, you should erase your Time Machine and start a new one.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal. -
Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....
there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers. you can then install and activate on up to two computers. -
Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!
First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

<E-mail Edited by Host>You should be able to log out of the old version of the account on your iPad by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version - if the account is greyed out there then do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts (under the 'Allow Changes heading') set to 'Don't Allow Changes' ?

I just updated to iOS 5 and restored all my apps but the games I bought have disappeared off my iPhone and don't apear in iTunes on my computer. How do I restore them?
Download them again from the App Store. As long as you're signed in from the same account, you won't be charged again.
Best of luck. -
How can I reinstall my mail accounts and get all my mails back?
My internal HD died a few days ago . Fortunately I did a Time Machine backup a couple of hours before it happened .
Now my MacBook Pro is back from the repair center, with a brand new HD and Mac OS 10.6.8 installed (the system I had) .
But how can I get all my mails back? Indeed I used Mail to manage many mail accounts, and some of the inboxes or local mailboxes contain messages that are a few months if not years old. I coud reconfigure my accounts, but then I only get the mails of the last few weeks downloaded (those that were not erased from the pop3-server). Is there a possibility to get all the mails (including outbox) as it was before the crash?
By the way, I'm also still looking for my address book and my iCal calendars !!
Thanks for help.I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help. -
Two questions: Scanner and exception handlers
Extreme Newbie Alert: I took a single college semester involving Java, almost five years ago, and haven't really touched it since until recently when I decided to try to get back into it. I am now working on building a program while reading the Java 5.0 Tutorial downloadable from Sun.
Okay, now that the faint of heart have left us, here are the two questions I want to ask:
1) I am trying to use the Scanner tool ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html ) on a FileReader wrapped in a BufferedReader. I have installed JDK 5.0 and I am importing java.util.*, but when I try to compile I get this error:
Wishlist.java:71: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Scanner
location: class Wishlist
Scanner readFromMe = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("wishlist.txt")));
^
...and then another one pointing to the other appearance of "Scanner" in the same line, followed by six more in places where I use the readFromMe variable that line was supposed to declare and initialize. Any idea why the compiler doesn't recognize Scanner even though I'm importing its package?
2) Is there anything preventing you from nesting exception handlers? As you've seen, in this program I open a file...if that attempt produces a FileNotFoundException, I want the error handling to create a new, empty file to use in place of the one that should have been there. Since this could throw an IOException of its own, I would need to put a try | catch block into the other catch block. Is the compiler going to stand for that? Alternatively, is there any input stream that creates a file with the specified filename if there is none already? Probably not, since a newly created file will be empty and there's no point in having an input stream on it...1) Are you sure you installed and are invoking jdk
1.5? Maybe you have an earlier version ahead of it
on your path.Hm. I did use 1.3 back in college...I checked the contents of PATH and the User Variables version of it was set correctly but the System Variables version of it was set to 1.3. I corrected the System Variables version of it and now the compiler doesn't complain about Scanner...but I'm still getting errors that it doesn't recognize readFromMe even after I initialized it. Odd...
2) yeah you can nest try/catch blocks like that.
However, in this case, exceptions sound like the
wrong way to go. A missing file sounds like a real,
regular possibility -- it's not that exceptional as
you describe it. A better thing would be to create
a File object, see if the file exists, and then if
it doesn't go ahead and immediately handle that
case. Don't even try to open the file that may not
exist.Okay, I'll try rewriting the file read like that, and hopefully the readFromMe errors will go away. If they don't I'll make a new post...probably with the entirety of the code because I can't even guess at what part of the code is causing that. Thanks for the help! -
I recently had to do a system restore on my PC. I backed up all program files to an external hard drive. I'd like to reinstall itunes, but I was hoping to get back all of my settings, playlists, etc. I can't seem to figure out how to find the appropriate file in the itunes folder of what I backed up. Is there a way to reinstall itunes from scratch and restore my old settings?
The Windows System Restore process shouldn't affect your iTunes library. If you restore to a time before you installed iTunes then you would need to reinstall the application, but the library would be fine.
Restoring your entire system to factory settings would wipe your library.
Either way you should backup your library on a regular basis and before any major change.

IOS 4 And Marking All E-Mail as Read
Hello,
Does anyone know if the "Mark all E-mail as Read" feature is going to make its way into iOS 4 / iPhone 4? I keep trying to find a full list of features for iOS 4, but all I see is buttons that say "learn more" and point at the same page which says the mail client was updated to support new exchange server, threading, and MORE FEATURES, which I can't find explained anywhere.
The only way I'll consider buying an iPhone is if I can mark all e-mail as read within 1-3 taps. Thus far, I can't find any indication that this is actually the case.
Thanks.errr no...it is not a trivial issue, it is a real one.
I get 100-150 emails today, including a lot of spam which is a never ending task to control. I like to be able to scan email subject lines, choose the mails I want to look at, and then mark all as read. The Blackberry has a feature to do this with 2 clicks.
I have just got my first iphone, the iphone4, and am absolutely lost for words that there is no "mark all mail as read" function.
Telling folks to move from POP3 to IMAP is complete tosh. I mention this, as this appears to be a stock answer on some other forums. Why should you have to change your mail accounts /set up forwarding etc., just because you have changed phones?
Come on apple, less of the BS fluff apps. Give us proper control over our email please ! Unbelievable. -
Can the iPhone only pull inbox mail and not all unread mail?
Yahoo correctly filters my mail into inbox and spam. The iPhone pulls ALL unread mail rather than just that from the inbox. Anyway to fix this?
What is unread except for what is in your Inbox mailbox?
Are you accessing a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, and did you use the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account?
If so, the Yahoo account preset on an iPhone creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client. With an IMAP account, the email client used to access the account keeps all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server. All messages received by the account, and available in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server, will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client - which keeps the mailbox synchronized with the server. If spam is received at the server and is available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server, the same messages will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client. This is how an IMAP account works.
With a POP account, any messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded when accessing the account with a new email client, and will be shown as unread when downloaded by a new email client used to access the account. This is also normal for a POP account when accessing the account with a new email client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not included a spam filter. Even if it did, new messages received at the server and available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded - spam and all - which is the same for any email client. -
All Tracks Now Unknown Artist - Can I Reverse This And Restore All Artists
Got a new PC one year ago. Had 350 CD's and decided to go digital with iTunes. Bought two external USB drives. One to use one for backup. Was using iTunes very happily up to one week ago. External HD one crashed. Not a problem have an EXACT COPY that was put back in the box a year ago after ripping all CD's to ext HD one and making ext HD two an EXACT COPY. Well, I plug in the ext HD two and OBVIOUSLY I had something checked wrong. iTunes in it's infinite wisdom decides that it doesn't care about my songs belonging to specific CD's, in some cases on CD per artist in others several different CD's per artist. So, now I still have all my songs BUT if I want to listen to a specific CD in either straight or random mode I CAN NOT | because ALL OF MY 4,000+ songs are all in the same folder called UNKNOWN ARTIST. I am in tears. It is nice to have the tracks but I don't know the names of most of them I listened to the CD's and knew the songs as being on a certain CD. Now all that information appears lost. AHH ! The one saving grace I may have is that I still have a copy of the original iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml THE ONES THAT WERE MADE THE SAME WEEK A YEAR AGO WHEN I FIRST RIPPED ALL MY CD'S !!! I can't re rip as I gave the CD's away since I didn't need them anymore. Might there be a way to restore the ARTIST AND CD data to each song without my having to buy all the CD's again and re-rip everything again OR having to look everything up and go into each songs info page and re-enter all the information ? PLEASE HELP ! Thanks.
You can do a factory restore and then restore from a backup after you've upgraded. I just did this with my mom's iPad, but you had to have either an iTunes backup or iCloud backup to do the restore. If you don't have the backup, could be that a lot of your apps and music are still available, but your settings are lost. Your most recent 1000 pics or so would still be in photostream, so you'd want to rescue them back to your recent pictures folder. Your mail, contacts, reminders, notes, are all already probably in icloud or another cloud provider for those services, just need to reenter your login information. If you do secure backups, a lot of the setup is restored, without backup, you'd need to log back in to those services like twitter, facebook, etc to see your info there.

I have had my Iphone 5 for a little while now and today I connected it to Itunes to download a movie to my phone. I thought I had to restore the phone so I restored it back to my iphone 4. I deleted all the new ringtones I just bought and I lost all photos and notes I had on my iphone 5. Is there a way to unsync?? Is there a way to recover what I lost. I downloaded wondershare but I can't recover from an Iphone 5 and I hadn't synced the iphone 5 with itunes until today but again i restored it back to iphone 4 data.
It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone. -
Two Questions: Link and call transaction
Hello,
Im using tableView and tableviewcontrol to display the data and corresponding columns.
How can I mark one column of table (let say VBELN) as link <a href....> so that user see there is event attached to column. Only one column should have link.
Secondly, when user click on order, I need to call VA03 and display order. When users see order and and say Back, flow come back to BSP. Will call transaction VA03 in BSP event will work and how? Currently my URL is crashing on VA03.
Im trying to do something like interactive report.
Please let me know.
AjayIt sounds like you will want to do a little research on two different topics. First for your tableView - read up on on tableView Iterators. There are weblogs and on-line help on the subject. This will allow you to easily control the rendering of individual cells of your table. You can then render an htmlb:link in the cell in question.
You can't just call VA03 from a BSP application, VA03 needs to run within the SAPGui. When I have had requirements like this, I like to use the ITS (integrated into the kernel as of Netweaver 04). The ITS has a service called webgui that will render an HTML version of any SAPGui transaction. You can pass initialization parameters to the start of the transaction (such as sales order number for the start of VA03). That way you can jump from your application right into the order you want to view. -
Two questions, DiskWarrior, and G5 wont sleep...
Thought I'd make an attempt at gaining two answers here
Firstly, recently my G5 will not go to sleep using the Energy Saver feature. The screen does go black, but both the little lights, on the monitor and G5 itself don't pulsate and I can hear the machine hasn't goning to sleep. If I however manually click sleep using the power button, it does work fine. I've read through older posts, and tried deleting two of the plist files, rebooted but still not working. It's not massivly annoying, but would be nice if it worked.
Second question, I have recently bought DiskWarrior, and have two internal drives, I also use Superduper for cloning my main drive, Which I have, so I have a copy of DiskWarrior on both drives effectively. As I'm still waiting for the CD to arrive, can I run DW from either drive to repair the other?
Appreciate anyones help on either subject
Thanks!

Having DW installed on both drives is a good move. As long as both drives are bootable, Yes, you can repair one drive booted from the other drive, and vice-versa.
