i am not sure what i did, but i just lost all of my mail in my mac inbox. can i get it back?
i think i might have changed my password. long story- i never used to have a password, but was playing around one day last week and now it is required. i forgot my password and tried everything. all attempts were not working so i tried to change the password and now all of my mail is gone.
I'm a newbie to Mac and need some help. I find that the pre-installed 'Mail' is rather convenient but have trouble deleting e-mails I no longer need. Upon deleting selected mails and emptying the trash, I find that some items are STILL there when logging into the actual website (i.e. Gmail). E-mails that I thought were long gone are still there. Please someone help? I think I'm missing something.
deleted mails on inbox keep coming back. that is a nightmare since I manage lots of mails and several accounts. additionally, some "frequent contacts" incoming mails on my gmail go straight to trash.
I have recently given up on anything PC and moved to Mac. Mostly I am very happy with my decision but a couple of things niggle me and I don't seem to be able to change them.
In imail when delete an email from any of my mail accounts or the inbox, imail automatically selects the next newest email. I would like it to select the next oldest email. Is there anyway of changing this?
I know this is quite petty! but I'm just used to it working that way in outlook and keep deleting email I want to keep.
I've been pretty slack since moving over to my mac book pro but now I find my inbox with roughly 500 emails in it and 80% would be junk from various sites I'm signed up for. I now have flagged all of these address that are spaming me as junk however the only email that moves to the junk folder are the ones I'm individually tagging as junk, the older emails, from the same address remain behind. Is there a way to delete my entire inbox of these junk mails without going through each mail individually?
I ask for forgiveness since now if I'm posting something that already exists and I couldn't find, but I wasn't able to find any helpful resource to fix my problem. I've always used Mail and I like it. I have three addresses, one of the provider, the other two belongs to my personal domain. They've always worked fine. Since two months they suddenly stopped to send e-mails. The error says there's a problem with smtp server. I tried to change smtp settings, I've edited mail settings, tried to set up another account and tried to download another app for mail: always the same problem. My mother, that has a mac too and an e-mail account with our provider, doesn't have any problem. So I tried to copy those settings on my MacBook Pro.. nothing.
Is there anyway to sync the Mac Mail app and Yahoo! SBC Global server with each other? Like on the iPad, you can move files and such, and it syncs with the server. Can I do the same with my imac?
I know the factory setting on a macbook pro have the delete key going backward. Somehow my macbook pro has the delete key going forward. I think my daughter hit fn/delete by accident. I want the delete key to go backwards to the left. I tried system preference - keyboard- restore default but that didn't work. And hitting control h everytime I make a typo is taking way too long. How do I get it back so the delete backspaces?
How could I delete all the files and go back to factory settings on my mac? I want all the files to be deleted. But when i hold on power and option buttons, on screen only appears 1 disk -MacintoshHD and says to choose a network... How can i reset my computer factory settings? Besides, when I did a cleanup I deleted, probably, some important files so I can't login into my computer..
i want to delete songs from my itunes library but want to be able to put them back on if i ever want them again. i have an external hard drive and i have like synced them or whatever is that enough?
I have had my macbook for a couple of months now. I have about 400 pictures, a few songs on itunes and thats about it. I have a 160 gb HDD, but now I have just over 127gb. What can I delete to get some more memory back? I am not bothered about printers or anything like that. Just want the bare minimum.
I have had my Simple Drive 500GB External Hard Drive for some time now but I have noticed recently that whenever I delete a file from it the hard drive doesn't give the space back.
For Example: I Have 143.95GB on the External Hard Drive free but when I delete a 20gig file it doesn't give the space back on the External Hard Drive, it stays at 143.95GB. Also, this happens with many of my flash drives etc.
I converted a 500G External USB SATA hard drive from MBR to GPT no problem. It could be done using either Vista 32bit or WinXP 64bit the conversion under XP Pro SP3 32bit was not possible maybe because diskpart was still an older version and not updated to a newer version. My work on the Mac is done now and I want to convert my drive back to MBR so I can use it with windows. I've erased and then deleted all the partitions I had created on the drive. Using WinXP 32bit and Disk Management I see only one big partition (465.76 GB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)) Using WinXP 64bit and Disk Management I can see there is a 200Mb EFI Systems Partition followed by 464.44 Gb of Unallocated space. How do I get rid of this EFI Systems Partition that is stopping me when using diskpart to convert to MBR?
My sister bought a second hand Mac Book Pro. According to Mac Book Pro specs. this unit should have had a 250G - 320G Hard Drive but someone had replaced with a 120G before she got her hands on it. My assumption then is that theywhoever it was that switched the drive must have also replaced the DVD drive at the same time as well........................
After updating some software on my dad's macbook the other day he was having a problem with Safari crashing every time I opened it. After following the Apple troubleshooting guide I found posted in these forums, I searched and discovered that it was the Java plugin that was causing Safari to crash. I deleted that plugin and now can run safari, but I am unable to use anything with Java. I am trying to find a way to reinstall the plugin but can't find a way to do this since the java site just says to run software update to update java for mac. where I can get this plugin, if it is even possible? Or is there a way that I can delete java and it will show back up in my software update so I can attempt a reinstall?
Alright, here's the situation. I have a 1TB external set up with 250gigs partitioned for backing up with time machine, and the rest just for storing files. My time machine partition was full so i decided to move the 5 oldest backups to the trash to make some more room. But when i went to delete trash it counted up to a couple million files and just sat there saying preparing to delete. It was never able to actually start deleting the files, it was just preparing to delete for a couple hours.
Had not cleaned up my inbox prior to switching. Now it is impossible. I delete a message, go to trash and delete it there. Next time I open my computer it is back as unread. Never ever had a problem getting rid of emails prior to switching to iCloud. What do I need to do to get a delete to stick?
I recently downloaded Messages but I'm not able to delete it because it says: “Messages” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Nothing happens, the comupter, macBook Pro, Snow Leopard, freezes. The only functional button is the esc key. Once it is pressed the computer functions.
I have tried repairing permissions on my hard drive, repairing disk on the external disk. Still the same.
I couldn't find any similar thread, so here we go. I recently lost all my mails, and therefore tried to use a recovery program without any luck. I suddenly remembered that I had all my mails on my iPhone which somehow was synchronized with my MacBook.So, to my question: Is there any way I can transfer my mails on the iPhone over to my Mail.app on my MacBook?I hope you'll be able to answer my question since the mails are quite important.
