Intel Mac :: It Lost Conectivity In The Middle Of Email Or Video
Mar 3, 2012
The Imac & macbook pro are constantly claiming I'm not connected to the internet, right in the middle of an email or a video. I can go to some websites, while others claim there is no internet connection. At the same time, the wifi claims im online & my son's PC has never any of these issues, so I know it's not the actual internet connection or the wifi router. It's only happening on the macs, & only began around Christmas 2011 & it's now starting to get very annoying & making me wonder if I should give these away & go back to PC.
Someone at work recorded a screen capture video. Within the frame, there's good material but a lot of garbage around the edges that I don't want (what Sally Hogshead would call "screen crapture"). The good stuff lasts the entire duration of the clip, is not perfectly centered, and does not move at all in its placement or change size throughout the clip.Â
If I crop or trim, I can eliminate the garbage, either making it transparent or black (there's no other clip beneath it to show through) easily enough. Is there a way to then export just the desired portion of the video frame (the non-cropped good stuff) as its own video at a smaller frame size?Â
How do I email a video that I've downloaded from my digital camera to iPhoto. Use to be able to use Quicktime Player but with this newer version of IPhoto, I am unable to do so. I have iPhoto '11 9.2.3.
Today I downloaded the MacOSXUpdCombo 10.7.4 from the apple website. I opened it up and it got to about half way through installation before a grey hue dropped down on my screen and a message appeared "Your computer needs to restart". After restarting, I got a error message saying that my computer had to shut down due to issues and to submit a bug report to apple. I decided to give it another go and the exact same thing happened
Not sure exactly when it started but I noticed it about half an hour ago and have come straight online to 'troubleshoot' the problem. The is a grey smudge/shadow in the middle of my screen and I am unable to remove it by cleaning the screen or restarting my computer. I have seen similar issues posted with no resolve so I don't know if people discovered a fix or just gave in and took the computer into the Apple store. With no way to transport the computer safely into the city centre, I would like to avoid doing that if at all possible. Â
Info: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I have a .Mac email-only account using IMAP. I was alerted that my inbox was full (when I was looking at webmail) so I removed all the messages from webmail (assuming they'd remain on my Mac permanently). I get back home and they're all gone.
I have a ignorant friend that just upgraded from Panther (10.3) to Leopard (10.5) via the upgrade method and did not backup before hand. His issue is that the Mail conversion didn't complain, but all mailboxes contents were missing.
The Inbox folder in Mail was empty and Drafts was completely missing, as well as some other system generated folders (AFAIK). Other user created folders were in Mail on the left, but were empty. We were able to import the Foo.mbox folders into Mail, so we got the user created folders contents back, but that doesn't help for drafts or few hundred emails in the inbox.
I formatted my macbook recently and lost my passwords for hotmail and gmail and I don't remember them as I gave remember my password option. I don't remember the answer to the secret question. Is there any software that I can use to retrieve my passwords.
I'm using the Mac email program. I opened up the program and all of the sudden I lost the split screen. Before I had the inbox in the top half of the screen and the message body in the bottom half. Now I am just seeing a full screen with the inbox and I have to double click on the message to see the body. I've looked through the toolbar and can't find an option that addresses it.
I have just made the dreaded change over to Lion and iCloud from Snow Leopard, every thing was working fine however I am not connecting to the mac mail server anymore, I am getting a message which reads along the lines of, Verify the settings for account xxxxxxxxxxx@mac.com or try again. The server returned the error: The server p99-imap.mail.me.com refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I have a PowerBook G4, and deleted my preferences ( user, me, library, preferences) to speed up my machine. all was well, except that I lost all my email in Mail and can't find it.
I recently noted that accented characters are lost in long name description of email alias address when using Mail.app but ok when using webmail in iCloud.com Setup in the prefs of the master mail account in iCloud, the long name description for the corresponding alias.is transcripted as "Frdric" in Mail.app when selecting the sender address in the dropdown list box.However, all is fine when using webmail within iCloud.com The problem appears only with OSX not with iOS.
I have been using my alias with accented char in its long name description for the last 4 years with Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion until recently. I can replicate on 3 differents Macs. Even tried to create a new user account.
I was just doing a superduper backup which failed halfway through because i didnt realise my wd passport drive that was plugged in was auto backing stuff up and there must have been a conflict. Now, I dont know what to do. Email accounts.gone. Any registered apps, still there but reg details gone, any and all system preferences (like trackpad setup just came to mind) gone. Dock and all the items in it and crap I made to ,make it look fancy. gone. Stuff that loads at the stuff...gone.
I know this must have to do with my user directory but wtf? I know my timemachine backup is fine as i did one before all the problems, but is my superduperbackup screwed? I cant stress how screwed I am, I got reports due right before xmas and im like at square 1 now.
So I literally just spent hours putting together a video for school. I exited out of iMovie knowing it was supposed to save the file on its own. I open it back up to check on it and *poof* it's completely gone. I searched my hardrive and the file exists but it will not open with iMovie or Quicktime. Is there any way to recover this video?
On my old mac .version 10.4.11 about 3 years old. I was able to email short videos, I've since upgraded to the new IMac version 10.6.2 snow leopard and finding that I can no longer email these short video clips? Nothing has changed as far as my internet provider, only a new Mac.
