What happend to the "On My Mac" mailbox

When I moved my mail from Jaguar to Panther the On My Mac icon at the bottom of the mailboxes view disappeared. I'm now using Tiger and it's the same situation. I have dozens of mail folders I previously kept in the On My Mac mailbox. I liked them all in the one folder. Instead there is this long string of folders running down the left side of the Mail window. When I use the Message/Move To, pull down menu the icon is there with all the folders in it but why isn't it displayed in the mailboxes column too?
iMac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I access both .Mac and several .POP accounts.
I've created another folder named Saved Mail and dropped all the other folders with their individual sub-folders into it. That cleans up the left side of the Mail window. If I want to view a saved message I can open Saved Mail,navigate to the right folder, open its sub-folder and click on the message. Now when I want to move a message to one of those nested folders I have an additional folder to navigate through. No big deal, it just seems like Apple added an unnecessary step. I realize I can drag the message from the inbox directly to the target folder but most of them at the bottom are out of view and there's always that chance of dropping them in the wrong location. Using the Message drop down leaves less chance for error. Before: Message/Move To/On My Mac/Financial/PayPal.
Now: Message/Move To/On My Mac/Saved Mail/Financial/Pay Pal.
There's probably a better way to organize my mail. I just haven't looked into it yet.
Thanks for the input

What happend to the four finger swipe?

I used to be able to swipe down with four fingers and all open windows would neatly arrange themselves so I could pick the one I wanted to use. Now, when I swipe the screens dims a little, but the active windows aren't there. If I minimize the windows and swipe, they arrange at the bottom in a new, smaller configeration. What happend to the swipe?

If it is still listed and selected in system preferences then try booting into Safe Mode and see if the problem persists. Here is a link to a system maintenance Application to help keep thing running smoothly.

Look in your user library/Mail to see if it is there. If not, if your have a backup, try restoring that folder.

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

why is itunes downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

Does the iPod work fine now?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

You are really not describing your problem well.

What happend to the Moderator?

I am a Jr Oracle DBA, though I have several years of SYBASE experience my knowledge of Oracle is very minimal. With the large base of excellent Oracle masters and guru's, I rather remain a junior in this field because there is a lot to learn from everyone.
I have been using this forum and others on OTN and metalink to learn from others problems and solutions. Trying out stuff and learning along. Never needed to post anything yet because I could find most of what I was looking for from the documentation, books and forums such as these. So this is my first post, sad to say that I have to write on this first
Over the past 3 days or so I have noticed very unhealthy discussions by certain individuals such as ‘ohiostate’. He has been accusing the entire professional community in several layers, authors, volunteers, publishers and user groups. The thread “A Good Guideline book for Database systems” is a perfect example..
First of all, when people write such generic statements and generic advices they should have the basic commitment to disclose themselves. Otherwise they should be treated as anonymous and deleted. But what happend to the moderator?
By using such generic names in their user ids and using such abusive language, accusing others, who does he represent, causing disgrace to all the Oracle users from Ohio State or Ohio State University?
Everything this user has mentioned should be taken with little or no value. This user in particular is a disgrace to the Oracle user community. How does he call himself a Oracle DBA?
Moderator, could you delete the threads/replies created by this individual and bring some health to this discussion forum? or merely do something with this person?

Jason,
I agree with you, unfortunately there have been several individual whose contributions are less than non-sense couple of bytes such as "read the manual" without even worrying about pointing out to the specific piece of manual, or even worst, suggesting to read a manual they have even not read themselves. There have been other cases even worst who in a completely anonymous way attack and harass other members from the forum, those individuals have been removed from the forum several times, there was an individual who directly attacked Justin Cave several times, it attacked also Andrew Clark aka APC, and it was removed along with its rubbish threads.
Sad to hear this is the topic for your first post, but at the same time, I feel glad this forum at least has served at a certain extent to solve your problems, so you have not had the need to start a post on your own. Solving an specific problem for an OP or indirectly serving others as accurately as possible is the spirit of the forum.
There is a moderator, and you can reach him by posting your thread at the Community Feedback (No Product Questions)
Best Regards.

What happend to the sort function?!

Latest version for iPad, what happend to the sort function?
I have very big lists and I can't live without that function, I need to be able to sort the list descending.
So my latest adds will end up in TOP, not bottom.
I also need this function in my iPhone aswell...

Thanks, but I still don't see any reason for removing that function from an existing version.
Even if there is a new super-spotify under development... (that only might have that function..?)
I can only hope that this new super-spotify app will have the sorting functions that are compareable to the Windows version of Spotify, eg sort on track, artist, time, album ,added date. It's not a tricky thing to add and it should have been added years ago.
It's a real pain in the ass right now with big playlists in my iOS devices.

What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject

Hello
What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject
THNX from germany
barish

Hi,
In the query execution there are a sequence of steps performed before we actually see the data. One of these steps is Authorization check.
When we check Auth Relevant for a characteristic and have a Authorization Variable in the query. The authorizations assigned to the user are checked to see what the user has access to. For instance if we have a auth relevance for Region char, and we used it in the query. User who is running the query has authorization to Germany only, then the output of the report has only data relevant to that user, i.e., for Germany.
Hope this helps.

How many Mac Mini's sold? and what has been the most popular Mac?

How many Mac Mini's sold? and what has been the most popular Mac? Curious, Bill

If you visit Apple's PR Library, you can find the quarterly sales results posted. Each one has a PDF you can download that includes a summary of Macs sold. The most recent one, from April 19, 2006, includes a PDF ("Data Summary" at the top of the press release) that only breaks down the Macs sold into "desktop" and "portable" computers. There's no way to distinguish between iMacs, G5 towers, Xserves and Mac minis in the desktop category. Older press releases like that (for example, the April, 2005 release) break down the desktops into iMacs and PowerMacs, but the iMac group includes the Mac minis and eMacs so it's still not possible to figure out exactly how many Mac minis were sold.
So, unless Apple releases the numbers separately, I'm not sure it's possible to answer your question.

Where does the «On my Mac» mailbox come from ?

Hi ... In the my Mail's Trash mailbox in the sidebar, recently a sub mailbox called «Sur mon Mac (On my Mac)» mailbox (see here) was created. Where does it come from and what is it's purpose?

If you add/import your own mailboxes (I have a lot of them because I like to be organized), the system will automatically add a separate trash can for anything you may delete from one of those because the system treats those separately and, by default, assigns them to "on my Mac". If you delete anything from one of your own folders (not the system default mailboxes), it will wind up in the On My Mac trashcan.
Any mailbox under my heading of IMPORT is considered "on my mac".

What happend to the Firefox triangler list history button that was just below the forward buttton.

What happened to the Firefox 3.x triangular list history button that was just below the forward button? It was kind of small. It was on the line with the web address.
Is there some option for getting it back?
I am running tenfourfox. I do not see a forum for them. I know it is a port of FireFox 4.0, so maybe the answer will be the same.
The history drop down is :
-- in an inconvenient location
-- has extra junk at the top
-- is limited to ten items. Is there a way to increase the number ?
Robert

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

The On My Mac mailboxes greyed out

Recently I was having trouble with sending out emails from a couple of my accounts which use the same server, so I did all the usual stuff: repaired permissions, did a PRAM, deleted and re-created accounts, etc. Finally I trashed the old .plist and started over with Mail. Had no problems setting up the accounts again but now my On My Mac is greyed out and so is the RSS. When I click on add new mailbox I can see the list of my former maiboxes. How do I restore everything?

I don't see a way to edit my posts so I'm adding a second one to fill in some specifics. The machine in question is a year-and-a-half year-old 17" MacBook Pro with 3 GB RAM and it is fully up to date with software updates. I also have a 15" MBP, Mac Pro and the MacBook Air. Mail works fine on all of them.

How do I delete the on my mac mailbox?

Yesterday I tried to send a very large wav file (silly me) and it came back with a message saying it couldn't be sent, but then this message appearerd with the file in it in my on my mac inbox. When I open it, it tells me that there are duplicates.
I have run a virus check at Noron did not detect a problem, however I cannot now receive emals from one of my accounts.
Can I save all of my emails to somewhere on my computer, delete and reinstall my account?
Or the whole program, for that matter?
I would hate to think I have a virus that Norton can't find. I have a macbook Pro 10.7.3

This means you are syncing calendars direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process in addition to syncing calendars over the air with your MobileMe account. Doing both is not necessary which duplicates calendars and calendar events on your iPad - one set stored locally on your iPad and the other set stored in the cloud.
Under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Calendars followed by selecting Apply.
On your iPad, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. A warning message will be provided indicating this will erase the calendars and calendar events from your iPad being stored in the cloud. If you are also provided a prompt to save these calendars locally on your iPad, decline that prompt.
Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPad. You should be provided a merge prompt - to merge the "On My iPad" locally stored calendars with your MobileMe online calendars, which you want to select.
This will get rid of the "On My iPad" calendars and duplicates on your iPad.

What happend to the user's library folder?

I was able to get to the folder by using the option key but I was only able to drag it to the Finder window toolbar, how do I get to the sidebar? Preferably I would want the folder in the user home folder but I couldn't get it there either.

You don't need a script, all you have to do is what fanboy 512 and scottmij said. Hold the alt/option key and click on the Go menu. If you drag it to your Finder sidebar, it will stay there.
