OS X Mavericks :: How To Manually Move Mail Files

Aug 28, 2014

My desktop system (an i3 running Mavericks) will not boot from its internal disk (it simply sits "spinning" its little progress bar at the Apple icon). It also fails to recognize an attached disk that has the Time Machine backups in Recovery mode. 

Migration Assistant is worthless. I get part way through (specifying a different user as a destination with the i3 disk mounted in Target disk mode) , it exits, and nothing has changed. 

Yet I can mount the iMac desktop and its disks on a laptop (also running Mavericks) in Target disk move, and see all the files on both disks. I have copied some, and they seem to be intact.  

So, while I ponder this confusion, I would like to get the most critical info off and onto the laptop. One of those pieces of info is the email contents. 

Now Mail files "were" in the users Library as I recall, but I believe things were moved in Mavericks (or maybe even a version earlier). 

Does any one have ( and I remember seeing this posted somewhere online, but just can not find it) the steps to manually move the mail folders over to a new machine so that nothing is lost with the most recent Mail file locations?

OS X Mavericks :: Cannot Move Files To Different Folders On MacBook Pro

Sep 8, 2014

A few days ago, I started being unable to move files from one folder to another in Finder or on my Desktop, using a drag and drop motion. I can move the files if I copy and paste them from one folder to the next, but that is incredibly laborious. I have not changed any of my user settings lately, so why this is happening all of a sudden.  

I am currently using OS x 10.9.4.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Move Emails Into Folders From Mail App Search

Jun 1, 2014

I have had problems recently getting new folders to list alphabetically and went: Library>Mail>V2> removed envelope folders > and re-opened Mail and the listing worked properly. 

Then I updated: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo) [URL] ... This sorted out what was, after installing Mavericks, a slower computer. Very happy. However now, when I do a search in the Mail App. and then drag one email to a folder and then click on others and choose move to 'the same folder as one before' it does this but the search replenishes the same email and around and around we go. Before updating this was working fine. How to rectify the search to folder problem descibed above

Software :: Entourage 2008 Can't Move Messages Manually?

Dec 31, 2009

I installed Entourage 2008 on my MBP 10.6.2 and updated it to the latest version. Everything worked fine until today. I can't grab and drag individual messages to put them into folders anymore (the move-to tool still works). I also can't grab folders and drag them onto my desktop (for archiving, e.g.) anymore. I believe it worked initially. The only thing I can think of that I did since the first installation of Entourage was create a backup of my system on another partition using SuperDuper and since then Entourage upon startup asked for permission to use an obscure font on that backup partition, which is weird in its own right. After getting that message a few times (and denying access every time) I chose the option for Entourage not asking me again, so I don't know the exact name of the font it was asking. But I'm sure it was one of the WarnockPro incarnations. Is there a way to get Entourage to ask me again for that font?
But more importantly, addressing the main issue re. drag and drop of messages and folders: has anybody heard of such behavior and knows of a fix?

OS X Mavericks :: Where Apple Mail Attachment Files Stored In 10.9.3

Jun 4, 2014

I am trying to locate an attachment file from a recently deleted message.  The message is no longer in my trash, so I can't access the file through Mail.  In the past, there was usually an archived copy somewhere on my hard drive, but it seems to have moved in my most recent update of Mac OSX.  It used to be in the Library folder in my user folder, but now there is no Library folder in that location.  Where do I find these files?

OS X Mavericks :: Attaching Files Crashes Mac Mail And Thunderbird?

Jun 4, 2014

Just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks 10.9.3 on a 2012 Mac Mini 4 core.  When attempting to add an attachment to an email, both Mac Mail and Thunderbird start with the spinning beachball and never recover.  Force Quit is the only option.  Even after that, the Finder has strange screen artifacts left over from Mail (attach file dialog box) and Finder must be relaunched as well. 

Dragging and dropping files works okay with Mac Mail.  This option does not exist when using Thunderbird, so no workaround available for that App.  Also, Mac Mail only gets stuck when attempting to attach files on the desktop.  Files from other locations attach OK. 

Already tried Repair Permissions, Repair Disk, Reinstalled Mavericks with no change.  For now, I have gone back to Mountain Lion since this is a deal breaker, even though everything else seems to work ok (except for the occasional brief spinning beach ball).

OS X :: Manually Sorting Files In Mac?

Jun 20, 2010

This may sound like a silly question, but I would like to know how I can arrange files manually in Mac? For example, if I have a folder of 100 photos in running order and I want to move London3.jpg between London 1.jpg and London 2.jpg, how do I do that? I've tried all the different sorting/viewing options. This is a very basic feature in Windows but I can't seem to do it in Mac. I am using Snow Leopard v 10.6.3. am getting very frustrated trying the various options to no avail.

When you download a file (a song for example) from the internet and it downloads into your "Downloads" folder in finder, than you drag it to your "music" folder, its permanent home...does this mean you now have 2 copies of this file, one in the downloads folder and one in the music folder?

Is there any way to manage this without manually deleting things every time you download anything? Perhaps I'm missing something

ITunes For Mac :: How To Manually Add PDF Files To IBook

Dec 6, 2014

I manually manage my videos and music.  I don't want to sync.  However, when I try to add books to my iPhone using iTunes 12, the only option I have is to sync and then an iTunes window opens up and says that I will lose all of my music and videos on my iPhone if I sync.  I don't mind syncing my iBooks, but I don't want to be forced to sync my music and videos as well. 

There is no book tab in iTunes 12. 

Any other way to add iBooks to an iPhone and iPad manually.  

There is no option in the iBooks application to add books to an iPhone or iPad that I can find.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Manually Arranging Files In Finder?

Jun 5, 2012

I have a folder with many pictures in it. Right now, they are in a list sorted by name:

Pic A

Pic B

Pic C

Pic D 

I would like to manually re-arrange a few so that it looks like this:

Pic A

Pic B

Pic D

Pic C 

However, Finder won't let me take them out of their arrangement. When i try to drag a file down, it just snaps back to its original position.

I've set it as Arrange by-none and sort by-name, so shouldn't this let me move them?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Migrate Mail Configuration From Snow Leopard Manually?

I wasn't able to  move the data from my old MacBook to my new MacBook running Lion, because I was using FileVault on the old system, and the Migration Assistant doesn't support home directories with FileVault enabled. 

I've managed to migrate everything without issue -- Music, Photos, Movies -- all worked great.  However, when I try to start Mail under Lion, I get prompted to reconfigure Mail.  I've copied the ~/Library/Mail folder and the Preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) to the new laptop (via SFTP) but Mail won't pick up from where it left off.

I am running into "chmodperation not permitted" when I try to change the permissions on my time machine backup manually.

Here is the complete info. I brought a new MacMini server and was trying to copy my music folder from time machine backup(of my MBP) into the Server. From the Server I logged in as root and tried to change the file permissions of the music folder with this command
