When I downloaded Mavericks I lost a whole bunch of emails and mailboxes

Lost some old unarchived email messages and mailboxes can't find them on the computer and not sure what to do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

My mail was corrupted when I downloaded mavericks

My mail was corrupted on my macbook pro when I downloaded mavericks. anything I can do?

The same thing has happened to me several times now. You can click the song and ask itunes to locate it (by finding it in your computer's music library). OR you can use a previous library (they're stored). Either way, it's a nuisance, but you're not alone.

Don't post in all caps. Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums. What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions. Reboot normally.
2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

When I download photos from a flash drive,everything is fine and they show in Events and Pictures, but when I click on the individual pic I get an error message saying that it cannot locate the JPG. Any thoughts?

It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive. Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I just downloaded an iphoto update and when I tried to share my photos was asked for email and password. I must have typed in the info wrong because I keep getting an error message. I don't see how to change the info to the correct mistake..

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

How to delete a whole bunch of emails at one time

How do you delete a whole bunch of emails at one time or do you have to individually 'touch' each one in the editor and delete page by page

Maybe Apple will add a delete all or a way to select multiple ones in their next iteration1
You can select multiple e-mails for deletion in iOS, no need to wait for an update ... tap Edit, select the ones you want deleted, then tap Delete.
I can't see how a "delete all" function would be useful -- how often does one delete all messages in a folder? If that did exist can you imagine the users who'd accidentally clear out their entire Inbox by mistake?

Welcome to the Apple community Fazypk.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

When I downloaded Mavericks, my computer wiped my hard drive?

So I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks and it took all night. The next morning when I opened my computer it said something like 10 minutes left of download so I waited. When it was done it started asking me all the questions it asks when you first get the computer like where do you live and what's your iTunes username and password. Once I finished answering the questions, I looked at my computer and everything was different and all my documents were gone and all of my history had been erased.

You should never install new software without a backup.

When I downloadded firefox, I lost adobe acrobat program, but still have the plug-in

and I can't figure out how to get it back!

Adobe acrobat? I haven't seen that in a long time. Now, you're most likely looking for adobe reader, acrobat is generally for pdf editing and creation only. You can re-download the software by logging in to your adobe account on adobe's website and downloading it, if you have paid for the software and you intend to edit pdf's

I have an iPhone 3G and when I downloaded the new operating system, a bunch of the apps on my phone disappeared. How do I get them back on my phone's screen?

Hi Everyone,
When I downloaded the new iPhone iOS update, I lost most of the apps from my iphone screen. How do I add them back to my iPhone display? I plan to upgrade to the newer phone later this year.
Thank you!

If you are referring the the native apps that come with the phone they cant be deleted. go to settings/general/reset then reset home screen layout. If the apps are not the native apps sometimes they are just moved along a screen or so. Swipe over the screen and see if you can find them

When playing downloaded pod casts (Dan Patrick Show) tracks keep switching and playing spontaneously?

While listening to downloaded podcasts, tracks keep stopping and moving to next track in list randomly. Durring key presses, durring mouse movements, or just sitting and listening. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but it is totally annoying especilly since the intro to the next show is like 3 times as load and disturbs others in the office when I can't turn it down in time. Any suggestions?

Oh dear! but thank you for a quick reply and your kind welcome!
I thought the side to side motion would be to protect the screen somehow but i dont really like it!
Not at all relaxing when playing a soothing song to see the graphics flipping back and forth.
Its great technology, amazing, but could this viewing option be changed somehow by the wizards at apple.
I might need to hit the off button on Tv and just listen on speakers otherwise.
