Where is a mailbox "on my mac" in the finder so I can copy

Running OS 10.6.8 with Mail program on a Mac Mini.  On that computer we have a mailbox "On My Mac" in the mail program with old emails going back to 2007, which we want to move and put on a newer laptop (also running 10.6.8). 
1. Where is this folder/mailbox in the finder?  I would want to copy it to a USB thumb drive to put in the appropriate location on the newer laptop.
Any other suggestions related to my question and plan of action is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Make a new folder with a different name (xxxname2.mbox) and put it all in the new folder, keeping the same structure as you have now. I would try to just move  within it all into the new folder. Then make a new mail box in mail and drag it in there. this will be a archive type of thing. Do a back up on this first. Then you should probably create a new mailbox (different name) moving forward.
As I mentioned before, I have always had multiple mail boxes for different customers, uses,... to help organize things, but this should work, as long as the names are different.
The file is larger because (if I understand you) it contains the attachments, with the messages)
Try putting it on a USB and see that you can open it all.
Now you know where to find where your mail is.

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Why can't I connect to my Mac Mini via Finder (but I CAN via screen sharing)?

    My problem concerns a quad-core 2.0 GHz Mac Mini Server (mid 2011, I think) with SSD and 3 external hard drives. It's (a) my desktop workstation (b) our Time Machine backup repository (c) iTunes server and (d) Printopia server for our iDevices. That's it. The only thing I use the server app for, really, is Time Machine.
    So recently we lost power a couple of times. As always, I ran Disk Utility, repaired permissions and verified the main disk. All appeared well.
    But all is assuredly not well. Now, none of my other Macs can (a) find the Time Machine backup volume or (b) connect to the server at all. Whenever I try either thing, I receive the message below:
    The network is in flawless shape otherwise. My router is the latest generation Airport Extreme Base Station. The server has a static IP, and I CAN connect to it from my other Macs by clicking Finder, then Go, then entering the IP address -- but ONLY if I use an smb:// prefix!
    Moreover, even when I'm connected in this way, I STILL get the message whenever I try to connect by merely clicking the name on the finder sidebar -- or whenever I try to access the machine using Time Machine preferences. Weirder still, I CANNOT connect to the ip address via afp.
    Final piece of weirdness: I can also connect to this machine from any other Mac via screen sharing. So please....
    WHAT'S MY PROBLEM AND HOW CAN I FIX IT? I've wracked my brains, combed through forums and can find nobody else with this problem, let alone a solution.The problem persists when I shut down the server app.
    I'm assuming that either something is corrupted or some setting is afoul, but can't figure out what it might me,
    I'm just about at the point of reformatting my main drive and reinstalling Mountain Lion, but am hoping someone can spare me that pain.
    THANK YOU so much!
    Arthur P. Johnson
    P.S. I have no problem at all with outbound connections from this bewitched Mini. Just inbound.
    P.P.S I will, of course, be happy to provide shots of any other settings you may desire,

  • On a Mac-to-Mac network I can't see the other Mac in the finder

    Hi there!
    On a Mac-to-Mac network both Mac connect to the same network. However, after activating the file sharing both Mac's don't show in the Finder of the other.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks.
    Tom

    Hi and welcome to Discussions!
    If just clicking in the 'Network' icon in Finder doesn't work try:- from finder hit command/shift/K or 'Go' network. That should get the other computer showing in the finder of the first.
    Have fun!

  • ITunes Store appears blank on Mac ( with the newest update) What Can I do to get it to re-load? I've tried so many things!

    I've updated my iTunes to newest version ( 11.1.3 (8)) all my songs and movies and TV shows are present and easily accessible like usual. When I want to go buy anything from the iTunes store, it shows up completely blank. I can only access my iTunes account information for payments but I can't get to any screen where I can buy movies, tvs, movies etc.
    So far I have deleted itunes and re-installed it. I also reset safari settings ( as I've seen as a suggestion on other discussion boards) but neither of these actions helped at all!
    If anyone has ANY suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative because this is super frustrating!!!!
    -Robin

    The iTunes store is pretty much just a website in iTunes.  It relies on certain components that get installed with safari.  If safari is outdated, the iTunes store won't work.
    Glad that helped. 

  • I need a gaming keyboard for my mac but the only ones I can find are for Windows,  there is no Command button or FN button.  Any suggestions?

    So, I have an OS X 10.7.5 and I want to get a gaming keyboard, but the only good ones I can find are for windows.  I know because they have the Windows home key button, and no FN button or Command button.  Any suggestions?

    Normally, most Windows-compatible keyboards are also compatible with Mac OS X. If I'm not mistaken, the Windows key (the key with the Windows icon) is the command key. Also, if you do need to use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys (you would normally hold FN and then press the button), you can set them to standard function keys in System Preferences. There may be some good gaming keyboards on the market that use the Mac layout, but most may use a Windows keyboard. Personally, I prefer the Mac keyboard on my Macbook. I hope this helps!

  • Local Mac Pro (the brain) & Remote Laptop (the extension) combination to work

    Hi, I have a 17" MacBook Pro that is becoming obsolete. Unfortunately Apple does not sell any longer these. I have been thinking about buying the new Mac Pro t(with OS X 10.9) o use in combination with my old MacBook Pro remotely (when I am not in the same place/local network). The idea is if I am working in a Coffee shop with my 17" MBP and I need to use CPU/GPU intensive apps I will connect to the Mac Pro. After much search I have come to the following info (take a look, it is a looooong doc but you might find it useful) but I would also recommend expert advice (and no, a 15" MBP is not an option. Too small). Thanks.
    OPTION A: BACK TO MY MAC (app in MAC OS)
    =========
    Back to My Mac is one of Apple’s iCloud services. Technically it uses adhoc ipsec vpn tunnels and gives you an DNS name for each mac set up, effectively bypassing the current internal name resolution issue. e.g. server.12345678.members.btmm.icloud.com Services that you run e.g. web and ssh will accessible.
    Use OS X Help for information about how to set up and use Back to My Mac:
        From the Finder, click the Help menu.
        When the Help Center appears, type "Use Back to My Mac" in the search window.
        Choose the Help article titled "Use Back to My Mac."
        On the remote Mac select Wake on Demand to save energy (the device goes to sleep when it is not in use)
    (troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4907 - see also notes below)
    (security tips: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4908)
    (configuration: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-set-back-my-mac-mac-os-x-maver icks-3495116/)
    BTTM only works between OSX computers and a single account. VPN lets you connect most devices and other OSs and many users to single resources. BTMM is essentially a dynamic DNS service. It does not enable sharing or management services at all, and only facilitates the connection to the machine. You will still need to enable various services on your own, and BTMM will not bypass any security features of the system. You can only connect to BTTM from a Mac which is logged into the same iCloud account. For example, if you try to use that BTMM hostname on your ipad, it won't work.
    You can also use File Transfer apps like Transmit. Under Transmit, Bonjour setting, all of Macs are listed as SFTP connections, with the BTTM number followed by .members.bttm.icloud.com. This connection appears to be much faster than BTTM through file sharing or screen sharing and shows all files on that Mac, including normally invisible ones. This does require entering my account name and password.
    OPTION B: MAC OS SERVER & VNC
    =========
    This can be done with built-in Apple software. You need to buy it in the Apple Store.
    -    Firstly you should for security reasons have a VPN server running at your office, this could be on your Mac server. The remote users would then first connect to the VPN server this would then allow them to access the server securely even remotely
    -    Then your remote users must have Macs (this method is only supported by Mac clients)
    -    The remote Macs would use Screen Sharing to connect to the Mac server, since Lion it has been possible for multiple Mac clients to connect to different user accounts at the same time and see a different 'screen' and run different applications
    Note: If you use screen sharing to connect with an account that is not already logged in it will offer the choice of 'Share Display' or 'Log In' the former is like the old-style remote control, the later is like a Terminal Services system. If you connect with an account that is already logged in it will just take you to that accounts session.
    Note: Some applications are not written in a way that would be friendly to running the same copy more than once, also some software licensing woulld mean you would still need to buy multiple copies. If an application checks over the network for the same copy running to enforce licensing you would have a problem. A volume license often helps with that.
    Unfortunately if you're expecting Wake on Demand to work over a VPN, it doesn't. (see below - note on IP)
    Good video to configure OS Server in Mavericks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVfEicYfMTE
    By the way, if you are just interesting in running your server from a Mac Mini instead of a Mac Pro, you can find more information here http://blog.macminicolo.net/post/72706369716/an-hdmi-adapter-for-a-headless-mac- mini
    OPTION C: RDP APPS
    =========
    If you want to use Windows laptops remotely then the above will not work, in which case you will need to buy either Aqua Connect or iRAPP.
    See http://www.aquaconnect.net and http://www.coderebel.com/products/irapp-terminal-server
    The above support using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to connect and hence are compatible with Windows clients built-in RDC software.
    Both iRAPP and Aqua Connect support standard Microsoft RDP protocol clients and both also have their own proprietary client. RDP is not VNC.
    Saying that I did get the impression both were slower than an equivalent Windows Terminal Server and RDC client, at the time (this was a couple of years ago) I got the impression that things like forcing just 256 colours did not work properly and I also go the impression other RDP optimisations were lacking and this would be at the server end since the client is the same standard Microsoft client.
    See http://www.coderebel.com/support/faq/How-do-I-make-it-faster which recommends using an RDP client instead of their own proprietary Windows only client (which might be based on VNC). The AquaConnect client does not appear to be based on VNC since it supports audio.
    See http://www.aquaconnect.net/aap
    In particular "Aqua Accelerated Protocol provides a 2-1 data savings over VNC (including audio, which VNC does not support).  These savings become even more significant when compared to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol.  Compared to Microsoft's protocol, AAP provides a 10-1 data savings over RDP.  All of this translates into a remote session that feels and acts like a local desktop and OS."
    By the way I agree RDP is faster than VNC, I also like the fact RDP supports audio (VNC does not). I have suggested to Apple they switch their Screen Sharing from VNC to RDP as this follows the same reasoning as their switching preference from AFP to now SMB2. Maybe others should send Apple the same suggestion.
    Most products use VNC to remote and I've never been able to get good performance from VNC. So I run iRAPP by Code Rebel on my iMac. It is a small RDP server. I then connect via iTeleport which I have on my MBP, iPad, and iPhone. Works very well, but it also quite expensive.
    OTHER OPTIONS:
    ==============
    - Apple Remote Desktop can connect over the internet, but you would have to setup port forwarding and have some sort of name or IP that stays the same. Depending on you internet connection, something like dyndns.com could help. ARD does use the standard VNC port (5900) for the screen sharing parts. There is another port in the 3000 range for the other parts. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Remote_Desktop). You may need to set a free associating IP address like DynDNS and set Port forwarding in your router. Video on how to configure it and basic use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TArMYl1RsUE
    - Apple Screen Sharing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Sharing) You can drive the cursor and send mouse clicks to the remote computer, and type into its applications. It can be enabled via: System preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing
    - From iOS device, an app like Airlogin can be used (http://www.avatron.com/apps/air-login/) but this app does not have Wake On Lan and it is subscription based (i.e. annual subscription of around 15$)
    - Other non official Apple apps that can be used but again without Wake on Lan functionality: Teamviewer, Logme In,...
    - For use of Terminal via BTMM you can read: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57596207-263/how-to-connect-via-ssh-using-i clouds-back-to-my-mac-service/
    NOTE ON IP:
    ===========
    In order to control another Mac you'll need to go to 'Apple Menu -> System Preferences...' on the Mac you want to control and enable 'Remote Management'.
    In the 'Allow access for' section of 'Remote Mangement' you can leave the default selection of 'All Users', which will allow any account on the controlled Mac to be used to login for remote management or you can select 'Only these users' and define specific accounts that can be used.
    Click 'Options...' to define what remote management actions are allowed. You'll probably only need to select 'Observe' and 'Control'.
    If you're both on the same network then you can do a Command + K from the controller Mac and type vnc://mygirlfriendsmac or vnc://ipaddress to connect to the Mac you want to control.
    Regarding the issue with controlling a Mac on a different network, this is where things can get complicated since there are a lot of variables depending on what network the Mac you want to control is on. This is one possible solution:
    First, you'll need to know if port 5900 is open on the network the Mac to be controlled is on. A lot of firewalls block this port. (You can do a VNC tunnel on port 80, but that's probably beyond the scope of this question.)
    If port 5900 is open then you'll need to know the publicly accessible IP address of the Mac to be controlled. One way to do this is to use http://DynDNS.com.
    This is how DynDNS works:
    You can signup for a free account that allows you to create a DNS entry that you define (ie- mygirlfriendsmac.dyndns-ip.com). You'll then need to install the DynDNS app on the Mac you want to control. This app will send the public IP address to DynDNS every few minutes so that you'll be able to do a Command-K on your Mac and connect to the DNS entry you defined (mygirlfriendsmac.dyndns-ip.com) and you can be assured it will be mapped to the current IP address of the Mac you want to control.
    BACK TO MY MAC TROUBLESHOOTING:
    =================================
    If Back to My Mac is not working as expected, try the troubleshooting steps below, if they apply.
    1       Update all your Macs to OS X Lion v10.7.3 or later (OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later is recommended).
    2       Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. Open iCloud System Preferences and check that Back to My Mac is enabled. See if any diagnostic messages are provided under the Back to My Mac section to assist you with troubleshooting and resolving any connection issue.
    3       Toggle Back To My Mac off and back on by deselecting and then reselecting Back To My Mac in iCloud System Preferences.
    4       Make sure the computer you are trying to connect to is not sleeping and is set to Wake on Demand. For more information about Wake on Demand, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774.
    5       If you are using an AirPort base station, make sure your firmware is up-to-date (open AirPort Utility 6.0 or later).
    6       Check your network for a multiple NAT setup and reconfigure your network as needed.
    7       Make sure NAT-PMP or UPnP (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552) is enabled (if you are using an AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet base station, click here for information about AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet and NAT PMP).
    8       Ensure TCP port 5354 and UDP ports 4500 and 5353 are open on your firewall. To learn more about ports used by Apple products, click http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629.
    Also:
    When BTMM stopped working i also noticed that i was having issues connecting with my apple id to machines even if they were on the same local network. I found a way to resolve this and consequently BTMM has started working again for all of my machines. I think this has something to do with how the apple id is assigned to your user account but let me go through the steps i took for this:
    1) Open 'System Preferences'
    2) Click on 'Users & Groups'
    3) Unlock the padlock in the bottom left corner to make changes
    4) Select your user account from the list on the left
    5) Right click on account and select 'Advanced Options'
    6) In the 'Aliases' box at the bottom you SHOULD have two records (your apple id and another beginning with com.apple.idms.appleid) remove these both and click Ok.
    7) In the right hand window on your user account click on 'Change' next to the apple id box.
    8) Delete the apple id associated with the account and click 'Done'.
    9) Now click 'Set' next to the apple id label (where it just said Change a minute ago)
    10) Enter your apple id and password and click ok.
    11) After a few minutes the machine should be available again for remote connection and desktop sharing via BTMM. You can always perform a reboot just to be sure.
    This should take a few seconds to set and once you have then you can verify this has been set correctly by right-clicking on your user account and selecting 'Advanced Options' to see if it has put the two records in the 'Aliases' box at the bottom. Needless to say you need an active internet connection for this as it fetches your associated record from your account and aliases it for you.
    FYI: Back to My Mac status messages explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4104
    For Local Networked MACs operating with BTMM:
    If you have noticed that the iMac (for example) was automatically authenticating to the Mini using iCloud/Apple ID, not my local username (being both computers are on the same local area network connected via an ethernet switch). The solution is to disable Back to My Mac on the iMac, delete some of my login credentials from KeyChain and rebooted my iMac. This forced me to re-authenticate to the Mini for local network access. I used my local username/password account and the problem with finder operations and hanging was solved.

    ok so i experimented a little with the hardware and here what i have to the moment:
    1. i thought that the usb kb could be the case for mac os to crash so i disconnected the cable from the KVM and plugged normal apple kb to the mac.
    2. however when i tried switching back to mac, the machine crashed again.
    from what i noticed for the last few days 'working' with this kvm switch was the screen resolution changing while i was switching. meaning the screen flickered for couple of times prior to showing 1280x1024 that was set up in the system. during flickering the resoution became 1024x768. i 've seen it pretty clearly, just it was for half of a second.
    also when powering up both machines, they were starting with 1024x768 and not 1280x1024 as was set up. i had to manually change the screen resolution on both machines (pc and mac) every time after successful start up.
    so by far my understanding is that kvm switch forces monitor for 1024x768 during switches and on start up. it also causes the OSes (win2K and MacOSX) to lose 1280x1024 and accept 1024x768 as if the monitor was changed and couldn't operate at a higher resolution.
    having said that i uploaded this info to kvm mfg (ATEN) and couple more mac forums so that this info may help someone else when ordering a kvm for mac. at the same time i am still open for any thoughts, advices and crazy ideas to get round this bug.

  • How do I find albums in the Finder?  Where did they go?

    Just upgraded to iPhoto 06 from 04. When I look for photos in Finder I don't see any of my albums listed. The file structure is totally changed, and I don't even have a folder for 2006 but I do have prior years, which I can then look in to see pictures by date. My 2006 photos can be found only under "DATA" by roll numbers, a somewhat annoying new concept.
    Am I missing something really simple here? Why is the folder structure for photos completely changed in iPhoto 06? Why can't I find photos via album in the Finder anymore, and is there any way to fix that? This is a problem for uploading to sites like Shutterfly, for example (it was a total pain to try and do that and and it seems to be a significant deficiency in the program as compared to the earlier version. Any help appreciated!
    PB 15" 1.0 Ghz 1.25G RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi dscott1000,
    Yes the folder structure/organization has changed in iPhoto 6. The Albums folder in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder, however, that was in earlier versions of iPhoto has been done away with, starting with iPhoto 5.
    iPhoto 5 (and now 6) now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    To help with your Shutterfly program, there is a plugin for iPhoto.

  • Mac freezes on finder

    My Imac boots up but it freezes on the finder. I can navigate via the key board and my mouse works,, but no programs will open.  I cannot open time machine to revert back to when it was working correctly
    I have a dialog box asking me if i want to enable" "net session_mac_b94eec3" to accept incoming network messages? " 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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.
    Try to delete the application while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Thanks. I'm working with different hosts and I guess thats where the confusion for me is coming in. In bluehost, I simply submit my form through form action to http://www.bluehost/bluemail. With the php form construction it 's form action is contact.php. Does this mean that the server I'm working with will uinderstand how to process contact.php and where to send it based on paramaters previously submitted? Or do I instruct the server via the php form? Thanks again

    The reason why this is done in php is because php is server-side scripting. It's telling your server to do stuff. HTML doesn't tell your server anything, it tells the client (the web browser loading it) to do things. Only your server can send an email.

  • Where can I find my picture files in the finder?

    I download iPhoto with another person's account, so I never could update the new versions; because I don't know the password, and the person cannot enter to the account anymore. Now apple doesn't let me open iPhoto, because the version is too old, 9.2.1 to be exclaty.  Where can I find my picture files in the finder, so I can export them and save them?

    There should be an iPhoto Library in the Users> "user account" > Pictures folder.
    You may also try to see about finding them through the user finder window where it says search for 'all images.'
    Not sure about the rest of that situation.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can i change from PC to MAC under the same licence key, and who provides the software!

    Hi, I recently purchased creative suite CS5.5 as a teacher for my PC (boxed version); however, i am looking at buying a MAC for the first time. Can i uninstall and cancel the key for the PC and exchange for a MAC if i do decide to buy the MAC, as i will be using only the one machine - whichever one i decide to keep.
    Thank you

    No. Serial numbers are platform specific and CS5.5 is not the latest version, so platform switches are not possible. You would have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch, but then there's the problem - there are no upgrades at S&T pricing, you can only get the commercial upgrade. That aside I'm not sure if any of this makes even sense. There are more compatibility issues on the Mac side with legacy software than on Windows since Apple takes a more radical approach of weeding out support for old apps. You know, even CS6 is now in a technical sense (counting early development stages as Beta software) 4 years old...
