Was Maverick, now Mountain lion from back up, Mail probs now.

Hi you lovely people. I was using 'Mav' and found it slowed my imac down a lot, so I rebooted with Comand+R and reinstalled M.Lion from my back up, since then my stamp bounces on my dock and opens mail and closes  immediately, I haven't got a clue and I'm not the brains of Britain, so gently please, any and all help/suggestions/cures will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance to all who read this.  Ron  :-)

In Finder, hold down the option/alt key while selecting Go from the Finder menu bar. Select Library. or select Go to Folder and paste in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Why doesn't Migration Assistant recognize my backup disk after rolling back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks?

    I rolled back my OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion and now the Migration Assistant isn't finding my Time Machine backups.  Any idea why this is?

    One reason may be a different computer name.  Check System Preferences > Sharing and make sure your computer name has been the same through all your various OS X iterations.

    Could you take a screen show showing the files on your thumb drive? This will allow us to better see what you have on the drive.
    Command-Shift-3 takes the entire screen
    Command-Shift-4 takes a portion of the screen. <--use this one

  • Switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion

    I have tried to switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, due to the battery drain problem, following the steps included in the tutorial https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6162
    The problem is that when I format the HD and I click on 'Install' it appears a big screen which says 'Install Mavericks". I want to install Mountain Lion (that I have in the pendrive), or at least Lion, but I am unable to do that, there is no option to choose any other operating system. Is there a way to rollback to any previous system?
    If not, would it be possible to extract the HD from the computer, format it completely (including the recovery partition) in another computer, install it again in the original computer and perform a clean install from my pendrive?
    I have no external drive with Time Machine or similar.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have got a Time Machine backup created in OS X Mountain Lion, connect the external drive with the backup, hold the Option key while your computer is starting and choose the external drive. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps. Note that your hard drive will be erased.
    If your Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion, you can use Internet Recovery by holding down Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X or restore the backup

  • Just bought Mountain Lion from the app store and was installing on my MacbookPro, Now my computer is froze up and it says my HD is damaged and cant be repaired,Has anyone had this problem?

    Just bought Mountain Lion from the app store on my Macbook Pro. In the middle of installion it froze up my computer saying that the installation failed,
    It says my Hard Drive is damaged and cant be repaired. Has anyone had this problem? Im completely screwed...Thanks Apple!!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
    I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.

    Downgraded OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, how to get Aperture to work on Mountain Lion? My iMac (Intel) is older and Apple told me  this model doesn't handle Mavericks well, recommended I step back to Mountain Lion, which was where Aperture was originally used. Aperture was upgraded when I installed Mavericks, need to go back to older version. How?

  • TS1702 how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space

    Thanks

    You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • I have downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store. It took two hours to download but now its not running and I have no idea how to make it run!

    I have downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store. It took two hours to download but now its not running and I have no idea how to make it run!
    Download was complete and I accepted everything and restarted computer but its still running 10.7.5
    Any idea how to get OS X Mountain Lion to run?

    What you donwloaded was the OS installer. You still have to do the installation.
    To get started, double click on the download, then double click again and follow instructions.

  • I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8.  I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store

    I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8.  I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store & after about 40 minutes of "downloading" (started 40 or so minutes ago) my iMac restarted & I signed in.  But OSX 10.6.8 is still there & the image of OSX Mountain Lion is in my dock with the caption "OSX Mountain Lion -- Paused" !!!  ...Now ANOTHER 20 minutes have passed & no change nor other prompts nor info have come up!!  WHAT'S GOING ON???  PLEASE HELP!!! ~~~THANK YOU!!!

    THANKS SO VERY MUCH, mende1, for so quickly responding to my plea for HELP!!
    I had never turned my iMac off so I still don't understand why the download paused, & when I looked in my Applications folder there was no Mountain Lion, but your words, "However, you can pause and resume the download as many times as you want"  encouraged me to look deeper & try harder!!  I clicked & double-clicked (& multi-clicked!) the Mtn Lion icon in my dock to no avail but finally, I clicked & HELD the click for about 7 seconds . . . . . . . & then a little pop-up came & asked me if I want to "Resume the download" or stop it!! So I slid the cursor over to "Resume..." & it's downloading again!! ~~I HOPE!!  I guess 4.4 GB of OS update will take more than a little time to get in there!
    ~~~Again, THANK YOU so MUCH & God less you with a WONDERFUL time with your studies & future dreams!!!

  • HT4759 Before upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion from Lion, my mail and iCloud connections were fine. Now, the connection is almost non-existent (iCloud "connecting" forever,mail icon jumps). My network is good. Any solutions?

    Does anyone know how to eliminate the "jumping mail icon" that stems from iCloud not connecting correctly? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion and before, everything was fine, but now the synch between iCloud and mail seems to be out of whack and the "connection doctor" doesn't help and nothing seems to get rid of the problem.

  • I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

    I bought  mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
    I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
    So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
    Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
    and there is no 4 choices window.
    I don't know what to do.

    How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
    As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
    At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

  • Downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion

    I am considering to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, and understand I would loose the maps app and some features... but is it worth it it so I dont have to continuously reboot my mac, so I can use a program every time ?
    The problems I am having with mavericks, even when I have done a few tweaks , is that after running a few programs such as mail, safari, garageband  first and then loading photobooth... photobooth or any video app tends to lag , and the video is recorded lagging. A reboot fixes this if i start the program after reboot and not run any programs before.
    Another issue is when I am doing my artwork, drawing in photoshop or manga studio... the pen tablet begins to lag as well, so I would have to save my work, reboot and then continue working until Mavericks starts misbehaving again.
    This mac had its drive wipped clean before It became my personal mac, and I requested Mountain Lion, since I prefered it, but Mavericks was installed.
    I dont mind Mavericks... its just this rebooting to fix or refresh system... is getting annoying when I need to get some artwork done.

    Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
    Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can no longer connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth.  It was fine under Mountain Lion

    Pairing my Bose Sounddock 10 to my Macbook Pro (early 2011) via Bluetooth was fine under Mountain Lion.  After installing Mavericks, connection failed. I deleted the Sounddock & attempted to pair it again.  I get an occasional 'flash' in the 'Devices' list, but no pairing occurs.
    I have no issue pairing the Sounddock to my iPad running iOS 7.0.3.
    Has Bluetooth been changed for Mavericks?
    Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

    I actually have the same problem, since I upgraded to Mavericks my MacBook Pro can't seem to find the Bose sounddock 10. Has anyone found a solution to this.
    It still works with the iPhone 5
    Thank you
