Upgraded to OS X & LOST access/use/print OS 9 documents & mail!

Had a technician install a new hard drive and operating system, but was the old system and the new one are not integrated. I used mostly email and word documents on OS 9. Now, all of my email is gone. And when I want to see an old document, OS 9 starts to run, but I cannot print it, email it, or open it in the new OS X. I would be so grateful for help.

OK, try to see if you can find the original Outlook files, and make sure they are on the same hard disk as the System Folder that contains the Control Panels folder on your computer. They should be in one of these paths on that hard disk:
"• If an older version of Outlook Express was continuously updated to the last version, the Identities folder may still be in the program folder for Outlook Express.
• If a newer version (5.x) was started from scratch, the Identities folder will be here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities." (special thanks to Don Archibald for locating the files for me)
Once those are put there, you can download Microsoft Outlook Express for the Mac from
here
You may need http://www.allume.com/ 's Stuffit Expander to open it. Make sure the application is in your Applications Mac OS 9 folder, and open Outlook up. If it sees your messages you are ready to go to the next step.
Once that is done, go to Mail in the Applications folder and use the Import from either the Mail or File menu after setting up your account there (I'm not at my Mac so I don't remember which menu it is right now), and click on the button next to Outlook Express and proceed with the import.
Let me know if you get stuck and at which point along the way you get stuck.

  • After the recent iPhoto upgrade, I've completely lost access to the application and my photos and it says that its not supported on this version of Mac. Any idea whats gone wrong?

    After a recent upgrade, I've completely lost iPhotos and all my pholto files.
    It now comes up with 'You cant open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac'
    Any ideas whats gone wrong?

    Reinstall it:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • When I upgraded to Mavericks I lost access to iPhoto.

    When I attempt to open iPhoto after installing Mavericks I get the error message: "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X.  You have version 9.3.2."  My iMac is running 10.9 and was running iLife '11 before this happened.
    So I go to the Apps store to upgrade iPhoto and get the error message: "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID.  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    HOW do I fix this? Or is it possible to uninstall Mavericks?
    Please help! This is a school computer and I really need to use iPhoto to do some Christmas projects with my students!

    carolyn,
    This looks like an owernership issue.  Have you talked to the school administrator about it?

  • Doument Access - using Portal security or Document Database security

    I originally posted this on the Security Form, but realized that it might be solved using the PDK.
    I have a table in my database that contains information about a document (Name, Rev, Author, groups that have access). I want users to login to my portal and in a portlet, I want them to be able to click which docs they have access to see; based on who they are logged on as.
    Would I use the PDK for this? If I use portal security, I think I will be maintaining the security twice (database and portal).

              Hi Wendell,
              There is a patch available for this known problem. Please contact BEA support and
              ask for patch CR075892_70.jar for WLS 7.0.
              Thanks!

  • Pinting using Print n Share

    After installing iOS 5 I can no longer use my Print n Share app to print to my printer.  It can not detect the printer.  However, from within this app I can print a test page, but from within any other app it doesn't work.  The Print n Share people tell me that iOS 5 restricts the use of Print n Share.  What do I do now to be able to print from my iPad?

    Risk_doc-
    What a bummer!  I just found out that Print n Share no longer appears as an option in the iPad print routine.
    However, it still appears to have the ability to convert a document to PDF if you have the required upgrade.  The trick is to get the document to Open In Print n Share.  One way might be to mail a document to yourself using the iPad's Mail App, and use Print n Share's mail program to read it.
    GoodReader has an option to Open-In Print n Share, as well as to share documents with another computer via a web browser.  Perhaps that would let you transfer a document to Print n Share so it can then be converted to PDF.

    Hi Everybody,
    I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac.  Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan.  I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple.  I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan.  How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

    But did you repair Acrobat?  The Adobe PDF printer is a function of Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.  Uninstalling/reinstalling Acrobat does essentially the same thing as a repair, but takes a bit longer.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.
