Where did my messages points go

I have been an Apple cutomer for quite a few year. I posted a question about messages and when it was sent it showed that I only had 1 point. Where did all my points go?

hi,
This is the first (oldest) Thread in the iChat forum (Page 691)
It started before the Change to the software before the current one (that was still Jive but it has been updated)
The reason you can tell it started before, is the Link in the post by EZ Jim which references this page (https://discussions.apple.com/webx?128@@.68921c2d - It no longer works as it refers to using a WebX page)
It is in his post of the 6th June 2005
If you do not know about Mac OS X Maintenance, I mean iTems a), b), and c) of these Regular Maintenance / General Troubleshooting tips. I know it says iMac at the top, but these tips really help keep OS X running smoothly on all Macs.
With WebX you did get a point for posting.
You could also get Plus and Negative Points from any reader/Poster who had points they could allocate.
Unfortunately there were two forms of abuse that this suffered with.
1) People creating multiple posting names and voting for themselves.
2) Posters making personal attacks and using as many negative point allocations over prolonged periods as they could.
At the change a formula was created to effectively round up odd point number to fit in with the 5 and 10 points awarded in the current system.

Where did my messages go? (Only "showing" 50 messages).

I have had my iPhone 3G set to show 50 Recent Messages (e-mail). I have had about 20 messages in my InBox, but then had more than 30 new messages this morning. Some of the older messages in my InBox have disappeared. I checked in the Trash, but they are not there. I changed the settings to show 200 Recent Messages, but the old messages are still missing. Where did they go, and is there a way to get them back?
Thanks,
Guy

At the bottom of the list of messages there should be a "Load more messages" place to tap. Is it not there?

Where did my mail messages go?

Hi!
I am using Apple Mail 3 with a POP account.
On the left side, there is this mail boxes panel containing the "Inbox", "Sent", "Trash", etc.
I have created a Folder named "Work" with a number of mail boxes, each of them containing relevant mail messages. This system has been in place for many years and it worked very well so far.
Today I "right-clicked" one of the above mentioned mailboxes and changed its name and then pressed "Enter". Consequently, all the messages existing in that particular box disappeared and did not come back even if I changed the name of the box back to the original.
Where did the messages go and can I get them back?
Thanks

Hi Dimaxum & Ernie!
Thank you for your answers, the details and links that you pointed me to are useful. However, the only way I could solve the problem was to follow these steps:
1. open each .mlx file individualy and send it as a mail to my gmail account.
2. send the mails back from my gmail account to my POP account on my Mac
3. sort the mail manually and move it to the folder where it used to be.
4. delete the mail from gmail account.
In answer to your questions:
* I do not have TimeMachine running
* The mail in question came from a POP account (the only account on my Mac)
I consider this matter closed.
Thanks again for your suggestions and assistance.
Regards,
D.M.

When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

You have VoiceOver turned on. See p. 230... http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?

Where did the print setting "Rewrap message to fit" go in Mail 7?
All text prints too small. Settings for font size haven't changed and the emails print out much smaller than the view settings.
I don't see the options for "Rewrap message to fit" or "Keep fonts the same size".
Suggestions?

I have the same problem. Text and the info with the "To" header all prints very small. I also cannot find the controls described. Just updated to Mavericks, never had problem before this. Same printer, and problem also occurs on another different model printer I tried for a test.

Where did the 'sending mail' bar go?

I remember at some point, when I sent a msg with an attachment, there used to be a bar which would fill on the bottom lefthand side of the window showing how much of the message had been sent. Once it would fill (indicating that 100% of the msg was sent), Mail would ding and the msg would appear in my sent folder. Where oh where did this 'sent mail' bar go?
And how do I get it back?

Hiya there,
that should be easy:
at the bottom left (of your complete macmail window), you see a plus sign, an +arrow in a square box+ and a preferences cog wheel. click on the middle arrow in square box), the mail activity window will slide up, and you can see what is happening again.

Where did my videos go?

I had to take my iTouch to the Apple store today for a restore. My Macbook Pro was unable to restore after multiple attempts. I brought it home, plugged it in and it was still there - had expected all new factory settings, starting over from scratch. I was also expecting to be bummed out by the NOTES being gone as the Apple store guy said there was no backup for notes. Turns out - notes were still there and restored. What is gone are my videos...where did they go? The videos no longer appear in the iTunes library either. Does anyone know a way or place to find them and get them back on my iTouch? And...am I to assume that the Apple store guy was incorrect? Obviously the NOTES were backed up at some point...??

Use Time Machine to go back to a point where you know the videos were in your iTunes library and restore your library. Don't forget, there are actually two files that need to be restored - iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml.

Basic Shapes - there were more in Cap 6 - where did they go?

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Captivate 6 to Captivate 8. In Captivate 6 there were a lot of choices for smart shapes (the star shaped icon) including basic shapes, arrows, buttons, banners, Math. My favorite shape was square box with an arrow to the side so I could include text and point to something at the same time. Where did these options go?
I tried to copy the image from Cap 6 into Cap 8 and I get an error message that I can't import a shape from an earlier version.

Very frustrating change, indeed. The panel under the Big Button Shapes only provides one shape per 'category'. Once you have chosen a similar shape, in your case the Callout shape, you have first to draw a shape, then to move your mouse to the right, to the Properties panel, Style tab where you find the other shapes. Maybe you'll need some more clicks on the arrrows to find the right shape, but in your case you are lucky since this category has only 4 shapes.
This is not the only change in UI that causes a lot more work. Moreover the category 'Buttons' under the shapes, have lost their useful actions, only the representative shape of its category, the Return button has the correct action. But action will not change when you switch to another button shape in the Style tab.

Where did they all go?

Ok when I first got my Ipod Nano a week before my birthday, mid November. My mom and I went to visit my Dad in Alabama. (I live in Texas) I got my Ipod Nano and I started working with the software on his computer. I got about thirteen songs. I come home, insert the software and the Nano and succesfully download ten more songs onto my Itunes Library. Now I'm ready to put on these ten new songs. So I disconnect and reconnect the Nano and it give me these little boxes of stuff that say that I'm unauthorized to play these songs on this computer. While my Nano is saying not to disconnect. So I just click ok. I get out of Itunes and all that, to the point that my Ipod no longer flashing "Do not disconnect." I look at my Ipod and those thirteen songs are GONE. Without a trace. So I restarted my computer and downloaded the ten songs. Now where did those thirteen songs go? How can I get them back? They aren't in my library. I just don't know. Any ideas would be helpful.

Several ways to 'merge' the two Libraries:
- Burn the 13 music files to a CD or DVD (even a floppy disk) and copy them into your PC
- Use a USB 'Flash' drive to copy over the songs
- Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains
- Network the two PCs and directly copy the files
- Sync the files to the iPod and use a recovery program to extract them from the iPod to your PC: See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1293794#1293794
The first two options would be the easiest. The others are there just for completeness and 'giggles'.
Shouldn't be too hard. Best of Luck

Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks. One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
Where did the drivers go, HP?

This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

I BOUGHT & downloaded MPEG 2 QT component, where did it go?

I bought & downloaded MPEG2 QT component in order to use for editing video from a DVD with home movies that had been converted from tapes. When I put on computer it was .cdr which could not be used in iMovie. I need to convert to one that will work. I also got MPEG Streamclip, both on advice from a forum discussion. My question is, where did it go on my computer? I have searched with Spotlight & it wasn't found.

If your response was meant for me...
I looked into Macintosh>system>library>QuickTime & found 17 items.
Apple GVAHW.component
Apple Pixlet video.comp
Apple ProRes Decoder.comp
Apple VAH 264 HW.comp
Quartz Composer.resources
QuickTime 3GPP.comp
QT Components.comp
QT Fire Wire DV.comp
QT IIDC Digitizer.comp
QT H264.comp
QT Importers.comp
QT MPEG.comp
QT MPEG2.comp
QT MPEG4.comp
QT Streaming.comp
QT USB VDC Digitizer.comp
QT VR.comp
If "QT MPEG2.comp" refers to this component:
Then it would appear that you indeed have the correct component installed in the proper location.
I then brought up MPEG Streamclip beta & put my DVD in drive. I found Video_TS folder & dragged the .VOB files into Streamclip & when finished, I used FILE/Export using QT to convert files to Apple Intermediate Codec Component (which I saw in Library/QuickTime & also Apple MPEG2 codec.component). I chose to rename file clip & saved it. I opened iMovie & tried to import the file I just saved but they were gray, not black & would not import.
Made a quickie clip of what I do in MPEG Streamclip. Basically, this includes:
1) Dropping one or more non-zero VOB file for a single or multiple titles to the main MPEG Streamclip window.
2) Fix timecode breaks and set in/out points if needed.
3) Select desired export settings (in this case AIC video at 80% quality with uncompressed audio using default settings).
4) Set name and path for target output file.
When the conversion is finished, I test playback in the QT 7 player and add the file to iMovie if needed. Here is a 4 minute video I made minutes ago demonstrating my work flow. If you can't do this, then there is either problem with your computer, its software configuration, or Lion OS 10.7.4 has broken the normal work flow and this is yet another issue with the latest update to be reported to Apple.
