What the **** happened with Mail? HELP!
I just upgraded to Leopard, and downloaded and installed all system updates. Now my Mail doesn't work properly. When I click on the mail I appeared running in the dock, but I can't see it. I clicked on Window, and selected Message Viewer to see what's in my Inbox and compose email. Now I can't quit the Mail normally. I have to Force Quit it all the time. I can not send/receive mail either. I checked the account details and it's correct.
Additional info for above process (I encountered same upgrade problem), to recover the "old" mailboxes/messages.
After a Restart and opening Mail, the Continue action imports account data, BUT the prior boxes & messages could be MIA (missing), _as apakhlev warns_. IF you have a backup copy or the mailboxes actually still are on the HD, you may be-in-luck. Mailboxes you have created can be Imported by the Mail app. I'm uncertain about the higher level (Inbox) and did not find prior messages it contained. For the moment, anything in the Inbox has not displayed. It may, or may not be recoverable. Nonetheless, here's what HAS been successful on a G4 iMac;
Open Mail app. From the Menu slide to File and drop down to "Import Mailboxes...". Routing I used - should be close for us "basic users"; /Users>UserName>Library>Mail>Mailboxes. Import the Mailboxes. Wanting to ensure a clean opening of Mail, I did Restart. You decide!
Living resumed (e-mail returned) <smile>.

WHAT THE @@@ happened with Mail Merge for Pages ?
This was a great feature and it appears it is NO LONGER AVAILABLE Greta option to merge with Address book
Can anyone enlightenen me as to
am I wrong
if right, why the change ?
is it too be replaced ?Thank you for your valuable Tip of resorting back to Pages 09!
After 10 years of switching to "Apple", of buying all their products (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm still struggling with the imperfections of "Pages" compared to "Word". Inspite of that, I execute 90 % of my corresponce on "Pages" just because of the possiblity, to manage all of my personal information, i.e. addresses etc, on one platform. (For serious text work, I still use "Word".)
The sensible tendency of "Apple", to lure you into the "cloud" is frightening because at the same time they convey you the feeling, that your very own data is not your property any more:
- If you disconect your addressbook from the cloud, it may be completely erased on your own computer
- Synchronizing of your data is forced more and more on the cloud
- Personal information is hidden folders with limited or no access.
Of course, I'm lured by the convenience of easy use, yet I think, that this policy of "Apple" is a dead end road. They should at least give you an option! -
What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?
What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.
Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help. -

Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !
I have this problem for one year I think and no one can’t solve that,I made 6 screen shots and I will uploading in a few seconds all of them and please just check them !
My problem is: I bought an application last year and after some time I had lost the app from my iTunes store.
Now,what I want to do is: I want to get that app again,but I could not find anywhere in the iTunes store,websites ,nobody could not help me with that
The app has been deleted from everywhere !If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it. You don't have a copy of it in your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync it back to your phone ?

Powerbooks G4/1.04 & G3 Lombard-400 & PB3400 Mac OS X (10.4.9)You're welcome.
But when I open an already sent mail I see my soccer ball in the right corner.
This isn't a problem or issue with Mail - this is a feature and is normal. Your soccer ball in the right corner of sent messages is your chosen icon under the Picture tab for your login account preferences. This is also your "Me" photo for your contact information in Address Book. This is not sent with your messages and you can remove it from your contact information in Address Book which will also remove it as your icon under the Picture tab for your login account preferences.
You can add a photo for a contact in Address Book and when receiving a message from the contact, the photo will appear in the same location with all received messages from the contact. I have an actual photo of myself as my "Me" photo in Address Book and the photo appears in the same location for all my sent messages but it isn't sent with my messages.
Just reading Mail discussion, there are issues with this software.
There are issues with this software and issues with all software including OS X but you can't base much on these Discussions which is like a hospital ward for Macs - nothing but problems are reported here. You don't visit a local hospital where you live seeing most of the rooms filled with patients and leave thinking everyone is sick and dying where you live.
Visit Thunderbird's equivalent of these Discussions and you will see it full of posts with people having problems or issues with Thunderbird.
I've experienced very few problems with Mail which has always been very reliable for me with Jaguar, Panther and now Tiger.
I have always use software update but never check to see that all applications are closed before doing so.
You should get in the habit of quitting all applications before installing any type of update available via Software Update and especially before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.9 and disconnect all external peripheral devices except a keyboard and mouse beforehand also. There is much going on under the hood when installing updates so all this is good practice. -

Hi Eslam El-Gammal,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after resetting your iPhone, you are being prompted for Apple ID information that is not yours. This can happen if an iPhone is restored without turning off the Find My Phone feature. For more information on this, please refer to the attached article.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

I just purchased and downloaded Logic 9. I had Logic 8 previously installed. What the **** happened to my Logic 8. It's gone along with the sounds and my my G4 mastering Folder. And... where are all these sounds stored on my computer I can't find them?...
Very many thanks Niel. My problem solved in less than five minutes. I've never had to use that command before. I found the folder and copied it - but I'm still no clearer as to where it was!
Thanks again -

What is happening with iMessage? For the 2nd night running I can't communicate with any friends or family with iPhones
It is a known issue. Reboot your phone and it should work. I had the same issue and once I rebooted it worked fine. Tell your other iphone friends to reboot as well.

What will happen with the code?
What will happen with the code below?
for (i=0; i<=10000; i++)
Object[] obj = new Object[5];
In every loop, a new Array of Object wll be created. Will the Array of Object created in the
current loop( for example, i=2001), eliminate the Array of Object created in previous loop
(for example, i=2000 or 1999)? How the memory is allocated in every loop?
Thanks.Each time through the loop, an array of five Object references is created. A reference to this array is assigned to the reference variable obj, causing the previously allocated array to be unreachable (except the first time through the loop, if obj was originally null). The garbage collector will collect these unreachable arrays if the memory gets low.

If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?
Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
MacBook (sold before November 2006)
Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
iMac (sold before September 2006)
It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users. -
What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
My Airport Extreme is perfect all day but sometimes late at night my ping goes over 1000ms. Wired or Wifi is the same. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens either. Random times and random nights (sometimes several nights in a row, other times not for week or more). Resetting doesn't help, but If I go direct to the modem, pings are around 15-30ms... normal for me. It's been a problem for me for a while now, and I'm not sure if its the latest firmware update that did it. I first noticed it playing my Xbox 360 sometime last summer or fall. The ping times will suddenly (usually around midnight or 1am) be so high that I can't play any multiplayer games. I go to speedtest.net and my ping is anywhere from 500ms to 1118ms is the highest I've seen. If I reset the router, it is fine for a couple minutes and then right back to to the high pings. As I said, the modem is fine when I go direct, so something is causing the Airport Extreme to have trouble. It's not the XB360, cause it also happens with my XB1 and only at night. I play during the day, as well, and have no troubles.
I believe that there are certain programs that can cause this, like Vuze, but this only ever happens when everyone in the house is in bed, and both mine and my wife's laptops will be asleep. I do have a Mac Mini connected to another TV in the house, but the only thing it should be doing at that hour is its hourly Time Machine backup to a USB drive plugged directly into it. I do have a network drive attached to the AEX, but I only use that for manual backups for our laptops, neither of which is being done when this occurs. My wife and I also each have an iPad (the 2 and an Air) and an iPhone 5. Could they somehow be causing this? Maybe an automated iCloud backup occuring at night? Although, I use several devices on my network all day long without this kind of thing happening so I don't know why that would cause this kind of problem. Just to round out my collection, I have to older Airport Expresses as well to extend the network and are mostly used for the audio out.Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Reset the SMC.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 5
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 6
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again. -
Migration Planning: What will happen with clients when changing namespace?
Hello,
We are planning to upgrade our EX2010 enviroment to EX2013.
Sadly our namespace in EX2010 is right now owa2.domain.com. The name owa2 is coming from last migration between ex2003 and ex2010. I'd like to remove this minor flaw if possible.
But what will happen with all the clients and mobile devices which are right now bound to owa2.domain.com? Is it possible to change the name back to owa.domain.com without manual interaction with the clients?
Kind RegardsHi ,
Based on my knowledge for services like pop,imap and active sync we need to have the manual interaction.Without manual intercation we cannot achieve this.
Same time we need to have the new name on the SAN certificate .
For owa users you can simply communicate the new url via email and then for internal outlook and external outlook connectivity we need to repair the profiles to force the autodiscover service to fetch up the new name.On my experience most of the times repair
will not help.So again your only hope would be reconfiguring the existing profiles.
Note : Most importantly before renaming the host A record on the external and internal dns all you need is to reduce the TTL value for the existing host A record on the name owa2.domain.com.So
that external and internal clients will not have the dns cache for a long period.
Anyhow we will wait for some expert inputs on this case.Because their ideas might be good and different than me.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham
