Where Is Mail Stored So I Can Burn CDs to Get It Off Hard Drive?

i have so much mail in various mailboxes which i no longer need to access, but i want to save it on CD in case i need to look at it in the future.
can someone please let me know in which directory this mail is kept? i tried to do this once before, thinking i could just drag the folders out of the program, and burn those.
but when i checked them, the messages weren't there. presumably they're stored somewhere like the Library.
also, i am planning to upgrade to Tiger and want to get the old mail off my hard drive before i do that.
thanx.

Glad I could help.

  • Can't get photo off hard drive and into windows

    I have three sets of photos on my hard drive that I want to put onto my windows computer and can't. Can anyone help?

    That requires a Torx diver. If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

  • Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?

    I have a December 2006 MacBook Pro that I upgraded RAM and hard drives (twice) from OWC. After having Apple replace the display and the motherboard (again twice) I've been having boot problems. My local Genius Bar told me to replace the RAM with my original RAM and see if it solves the problem.
    Well, it seems to solve it, but my internal HD shows up as "Failing" in disk utility. I cleaned off my original 120GB HD and installed the OS (Snow Leopard) and whenever it's plugged into firewire, the system will boot automatically to it rather than the internal drive.
    There's an Apple logo on the original drive, so there's something about it that the Mac likes. There seems to be something to the "official" Apple hardware deal.
    My problem is that the Apple Store doesn't seem to sell either internal drives for notebooks or memory for MacBook Pros as old as mine.
    I can take it back to the Genius Bar to find out if they can sell me the right stuff without having to install it themselves, but I'd much rather do it myself, so I don't have to let go of my computer, which I use every day.
    Any thoughts? Apparently I can't trust the hardware that OWC sells. Does this make any sense?

    Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?
    At Apple
    But if you want to spend less ..... OWC have a great selection and are very Mac Friendly

  • Everytime I insert a blank CD into my iMac, it spits it out. How can I fix this so I can burn CDs?

    Everytime I insert a blank CD into my iMac, it spits it out. How can I fix this so I can burn CDs?

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

    mr g
    Correct. Dragging the MP3s into iTunes adds them to your iTunes library. Once they are in your library, you can add them to a playlist. When you have your playlist in the right sequence, click on File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Brand new to forum.  Can a Maxtor IV One Touch external hard drive previously used on a PC be formatted to work with my Mac Pro OSX  version 10.6.8?

    I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
    My question is this:  Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro?  I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
    I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty.  There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working.  There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start.  However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up.  If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

  • Can I install OSX on a new hard drive without a CD?

    I'm receiving a replacement hard drive in the mail in a few days, as my current HDD has failed. Although I don't have an OS X disk. My Macbook is a mid 2012, will I be able to reinstall the OS via OS X Utilities when I get the new hard drive? Or will I need to launch Internet Recovery?

    Your current HD will be removed from the Mac? If it has failed the recovery partition will also be unusable. You will need to use Internet recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support scroll down for internet recovery info.
    It will install 10.7 since that shipped with the Mac, upgrade post install to whatever OS you have in your App store account.
    P.S. connect via ethernet to speed the whole process up (WiFi can be much slower).

  • I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive.  Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection?

    I copied all my CD's onto a hard drive.  Can I transfer each CD from the hard drive to my iPhone either wirelessly or by direct connection?  Do I have to make a playlist for each cd and then transfer it to my iPhone?

    When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
        With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
        If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
        Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

  • Can I install itunes on my second hard drive?

    Hello All,
    Just wondering if I can install iTunes on the secondary hard drive where I keep all my audio/video files. That way, when I reinstall my OS or do an upgrade to Vista, I won't have to reload iTunes?
    Thanks!

    You can tell iTunes to install to any hard drive in system. But this will not save from having to reinstall program if/when you reinstall OS. iTunes like most Windows programs installs files in multiple folders on drive and makes registry entries.
    You can, and should, set iTunes to store library on the second drive. That way when you have OS problems your media files should not be affected.

    NTFS is your problem.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.

  • Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors

    Hello Apple Community
    Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors/defects/corruption?
    I've been having problems with hard drive for months and it finally froze on me so I reformatted and restored from Time Machine.
    Everything is fine now but I just have a feeling I will see the same problems occur because I simply restored to the exact moment from where I was having problems (i.e. Finder crashing/permissions issues/Volumes unmounting/Trash not working/Random error messages/Computer crashing when opening or saving PNG).
    I read that sometime Disk Utility doesn't always pick up on a defect or corrupt hard drive.  The whole time I was having problems Disk Utility said HD was ok.
    Is there software that can do a better job of scanning hard drive for errors and let me know if I need to get HD replaced? 
    Thanks
    Brad

    I agree with both.  Most important though is you backup your data frequently*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    That way if a problem should arise, and it is a result of the hard drive actually dying, you won't accidently kill the hard drive in the process of trying to detect errors.
