View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to get unread messages that have been auto-moved into the Junk folder to be counted in the Dock icon unread count? I keep Mail hidden and like to see just from the Dock when I get mail, and sometimes "junk" mail can be real mail from a new sender, a company, etc. I've tried the neat little menu extra Manila Mail, but it doesn't work there either (I'm guessing it just gets the unread count from the same place that Mail's Dock icon does).
View 5 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, mail.app no longer applies the Junk mail rules. Although the messages are identified as junk, they are no longer moved to the Junk folder on my iMAP server.
I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 My settings are in the attached screenshot.
I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Mail is configured exactly the same on both. Specifically:
1) Under Preferences->Junk->Exempt: the "Sender of message is in my Address Book" is checked.
2) There are no Rules other than the default.
Junk filtering works well on the MacBook Pro (a newer install that has been "learning" for a month or two. The iMac on the other hand insists on moving messages from known senders to the Junk folder. By known sender, I mean addresses that are in my address book. The iMac is 2 years old so I'm assuming it has "learned" much more about junk mail than the MacBook. I'd be willing to reset the junk history on the iMac. Both systems are running up-to-date Leopard.
I'm not sure why, buy every so often I get prompted to upgrade some songs to iTunes Plus for $0.30 a track; songs that were originally purchased well after iTunes switched to 256kbps for everything anyway. Not sure why that is, because everything in my library already should be 256kbps since I did the massive upgrade when it was first available. That aside though...
In the last batch I accidentally hit buy all, not realizing it also included 9 music videos I once had but deleted long ago when I decided to make my iPods for music only. So when I saw them downloading, I just stopped them and deleted them, problem solved--or so I thought. Now everytime the iTunes terms and conditions change, or iTunes updates, or whatever, it automatically starts downloading these videos again and each time I have to delete them again.
Could you please tell me if it is possible to disable junk filtering for specific accounts in Mail.app? I have two Gmail accounts and several other email accounts and Google recommends disabling your client's spam filter when you use their service.

I then asked if he is from Telstra (my internet provider) and he said yes (not sure if he's lying). Thinking it was a scam i immediately hung up. I am very scared now! Is this real or a scam? If it is real, how do a 'save' my Macbook? Are there any free Mac cleaning systems (legit and no viruses and no scams) I could use?

How do I block an email address from a computer that keeps sending me junk mail?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Mac OS X 10.6.1 I have been having trouble with my MAC Junk mailbox. For a while it worked very well and I was able to review junk mail. All of a sudden, I am receiving no junk entries in my junk mail box. Preferences: Enable junk mail filtering, When junk arrives, move it to the junk mailbox, sender of message is in my my address book, sender of message is in my previous recipients, filter junk mail before applying my rules. What must I do to SEE received junk mail back in my junk mailbox?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want mail to filter junk (including previous emails) and automatically place it in the junk folder. Currently, all it is doing is marking mail as junk within the inbox, and no junk emails are showing up in the junk folder. I tried unchecking and rechecking filtering for junk, resetting (in preferences), and re-downloading all emails. I have the box marked for move it to junk box, but the emails only show up as spam w/i the inbox.

On a fairly regular basis I finde non-junk emails in my junk folder. In other words mails that are black and not brown and from people that I would like mails from. As they are black I do not have the option of marking them non-junk.
- there are some settings under Junk Mail - advanced, not to put mails from previous recipients in the junk folder. But it keeps doing it.
- also, the mails in question are not necessarily from one company, from hotmail, Gmail, etc., It can be from anyone
- I have 9 different email accounts and the junk folder in question is the one under "Mailboxes". Not the junk folder under the iCloud account
- there is no "system" in regards to which of my account the mail is sent to, which makes me believe that this is not an iCloud issue. It can happen with mails sent to my work mail and also with mails sent to my iCloud mail
- the funny thing is that when it happens to an email sent to my iCloud mail address, then it does not go into the "online" junk folder under iCloud, but into the junk folder on my mac.
On some occassion I have tried to add the sender to my address book, but that doesnt guarantee that it does not happen again.

I Just did a complete new install of Snow Leopard on my computer. I did the new install because the computer stopped booting up. After I did the new install, the computer booted up and runs different applications perfectly. However, the harddrive Icon stop appearing on the desktop. Will someone tell me how to get the harddrive icon to appear on the desktop again?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been around since i bought my iMac 21.5 some months ago.It has been working perfecty, just a very light yellow tinge but it's so small that i can live with it.Now, i updated to Safari 5, it was a bit slow but didn't have any other problems like the ones i've seen here, just a bit slow.Yesterday i was updating to osx 10.6.4, restarted and when it was intalling it prompt a "error" window. I tried again but same results.I decided to do a clean install, (erase and install). So did everything and restarted. When installing it prompt this message "Failed to install, the installer could not copy the necessary support files" Tried i few more times but failed. Right now the iMac is booted with the installer. Can't do anything else.I'm very worried wondering what it is.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to clean up my mac by locating the largest files. I remember that there was a program that sorted all of your huge files where you can look, edit, delete, do whatever you want with them, but I have forgotten what this program is called. I've looked all over and cannot find it. Does anyone have an idea of what it is called or maybe how I could locate huge files on my HD?

I have a new macbook, and it is not as fast as the first week I got it.
Does anyone have any good apps to solve a manner as this one?
My MBP was running a little sluggish so I thought it was time to clean it up with a fresh install. All backups & apps have been reinstalled, all software is updated and everything is running pretty smoothly and much faster!!
But I'm having some issues w/ Aperture. I have connected it to my previous library and even have it in the same place as before, nothing is missing. Seems OK.
Now I'm trying to back up to a new vault and when I try to do that, it just hangs or runs extremely slow. When I try to click on the Vault options (the arrow up, red sync icon or the vault settings to add a new vault), this is where it starts to hangs. The menu comes up for 1 second but as soon as I release the trackpad button, the menu goes away. From the File menu, vault options are grayed out.
Anyone have these problems when reinstalling or have an idea on how to fix?
I've been looking for an answer to this but am not having any luck.
I currently backup my macbook pro using time machine. I am planning on doing a clean install of snow leopard so I can get rid of all the crap I've downloaded on my machine. haha.
Can I use my old time machine backup without it creating a new database to add to? I'd like to be able to go back in time and get those files from my previous installation while adding my new backups from my clean install.
Is that possible? How do I ensure that when I go to do this it doesn't delete my old backups?
I have a 1TB external but it's almost full. I have so many backups of Time Machine I made along the way, but I don't need all the Applications folders that have been copied a million times.
What I want to do is consolidate my Movies, Music, Documents, and Photos folders from each partition and that's all I really need. The rest I can wipe so I can clear up half this drive for future backups and such.
Anyone have an app that will keep my system in order and clean?

I have all my music on an external HD that I've used for a few years. I told my old computer (1GHz TiBook G4 with Tiger) to export my iTunes library, which it did, as a .xml file. Then, I opened that file on my new iMac, and only about 1/5 of the songs were found, apparently. This doesn't make sense to me, as the iMac is connected to the HD when I import the old library. If it makes a difference, the TiBook was NOT connected to the HD when I exported the library. I have the two computers networked together via Ethernet right now, though.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo those campuses running Cisco Clean Access Agent for their wi-fi access and having many freshman coming to class with OS 10.6. What are you doing to let these Macs on the network? The College I am at, Clean Access Agent 4.1.3.1 runs fine on OS 10.6, I just get an error when I try to login and it says "Clean Access Agent is having a problem contacting the server, the operating system is not supported."
Funny 10.5.8 fixed all the airport issues with Cisco networks. Now 10.6 is just not a supported OS, the application works in 10.6. So is it just an update that needs applied to the network or can they just allow 10.6 to connect and deem it an acceptable OS? What are some college campuses doing with this wi-fi application and Snow Leopard?
I have been using a mac for about a year and overall am happy with it. When using a PC in the past, I would organize my pictures in file folders by year and then by month. My husband backs up our pictures on an external hard drive (I don't use time machine) and we're finding the way iPhoto stores the pictures to be "messy" since it does it according to import date rather than file date.
I know that if I go to the original file in my library and move stuff around (in order to "clean it up") that iPhoto cannot find the pictures anymore and takes me to where it originally was. I did a test run on about 3 pictures.
Is there a way to change the way iPhoto organizes the actual files? Or am I going to just have to clean the folders up once they are on the external hard drive?
I found that I need to re install everything on my computer, and I'm buying the final cut studio 3 upgrade version, but my main install disc for FCS 2 is damaged. Do I have to install FCS2 first to install the upgrade? Or can I use the upgrade discs for a clean install? I haven't used an upgrade kit before.
