    Lost Mailboxes in Mail.app

    Never Mind. I went back to Apple on-line support, was elevated to a second level tech, and he recovered my data. It was complicated. I couldn't begin to retrace the steps we went through.

    Lost Mailboxes in Mail.app

    I have many -- hundreds -- of emails sorted into dozens of Mailboxes in Mail.app, These are things like conversations with others about genealogy research, email receipts, and so forth. Don't ask me how this happened because I don't know. First, somehow the Trash files disappeared from the...

    Sharing Photos Library

    Thanks for the reply. It's not a surprise that it can't be done. I'll have to continue to use sneakernet and abandon hope of transferring all the metadata.

    Keyboard connection lost.

    Thank you for the response, but I think you didn't notice that the message you are responding to was posted in December of 2008.

    Sharing Photos Library

    That's one album at a time, isn't it? What I would like to do is share the entire library of over 12,000 photos. Can that be done? And having done it, could her Desktop and Screen Saver have access to the that Photos library? If possible, I would also like to share the structure now shared...

    Sharing Photos Library

    This is Photos, not Music. All the photos are either taken by me or scanned from old photo albums that I own, plus some photos sent to me by friends and relatives who expect me to share them with my wife. But thanks for trying.

    Sharing Photos Library

    I am sharing my Photos Library between my iMac and my iPad and would like to share with my wife's Mac and iPad. Can I do that, and if so, how? The library is in iCloud. We have shared iCloud storage but separate partitions.

    Airprint from iPad to printer connected to Mac

    You are correct that my old Canon printer does not support AirPrint. I downloaded the free trial of Printopia and it worked right out of the box. Thank you.

    Airprint from iPad to printer connected to Mac

    I want to print from my iPad to a printer connected to the Mac by USB. When I attempt it, the iPad opens a "Print Options" page that says "No Printer Selected". Touch that and the iPad searches and declares "No Airprint Printers Found". From a MacBook I can print to the Mac-connected...

    PHANTOM SMTPs with HIGH SIERRA

    Here it is a year and a half after this thread petered out, I am running Big Sur, and I have the exact same problem that TuckerdogAVL had in 2018. This has been a recurring problem for several years through several versions of MacOS and of Mail.app. I have "phantom SMTPs" that I can't get...

    Invalid Apple ID

    One would think so. I had clicked Menu any number of times, expecting to see something that looked like an iPad home page. I finally realized that the Settings icon plays hide-and-seek in an array with 74 other icons. Now that I know where it is, it seems obvious. Anyway, that allowed me to...

    Invalid Apple ID

    I have a problem right off the bat. How do I open the settings? I don't klnow what model of Apple TV I have. The case says it's Model A1469. I tried with the unit attached to the TV and could find no way to open a menu. When I plugged it into a USB port the iMac didn't recognize its existence.

    Invalid Apple ID

    No. How do I update the OS on Apple TV, and how do I change its settings?

    Invalid Apple ID

    A couple of years ago, when Verizon turned their email servers over to AOL, I abandoned @verizon.net in favor of @iCloud.com. I had been using a verizon.net address as an Apple ID, and I changed it to a current email address. Same account, new name, with the help of Apple support. I have an...

    Sharing my Photos and iTunes with wife's iPad

    That's not it. I have a Dropbox license for five devices and we have only four. In any case, I am successfully syncing 1Password and Reunion (a genealogy app) through Dropbox to the new iPad. The only problem (so far) is with the Photos library. A strange email from Dropbox just came in...

    Sharing my Photos and iTunes with wife's iPad

    I have an iMac, where I maintain my Photos and iTunes libraries. I share these with my iPad via Dropbox (Photos) and iCloud (iTunes). My wife has a Macbook Pro which shares Photos thru Dropbox and iTunes by sneakernet. (The latter is OK because the music rarely changes.) Now my wife has...

    Finder and NeoOffice can't open a new Window

    Sure enough! It never occurred to me to look there. Thanks.

    Finder and NeoOffice can't open a new Window

    My NeoOffice problem was solved when I discovered that when one of the tabs is dragged onto the desktop it remains there as a separate window. The New Finder Window command now opens a new window instead of a tab. That must have been a bug fix in either Mojave 10.14.2 or 10.14.3.

    Finder and NeoOffice can't open a new Window

    There's nothing about NeoOffice there, either. Well, there are preferences listed for NeoOffice-2, -3, and -4, but this version is 2017.15 Professional Edition. I did look through the NeoOffice-4 prefs anyway and found nothing about launch, open, New, or tabs.
