    Snow Leopard + Mail + Gmail IMAP not working

    SO Here I am with my brand new MBP running snow leopard, setting up my gmail in Mail.app, account settings identical to my iMac (still running 10.5), and it keeps throwing up a timeout error on port 993. It seems that re-entering the password in the account settings window makes it work for a...

    Delete Users & Restore Setup Assistant in 10.5

    Hi all, Selling a mac, and would like to do just what the title states, back to "factory settings" without removing updates & Apps. This used to be relatively simple in Tiger and earlier, but then they got rid of the netinfo database in Leopard. The private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone file is...

    Hey all, I have a user who needs to archive calendar events located on an Exchange server from Entourage 2004. I know this process is fairly straightforward in Outlook, but in Entourage, the File -> Export feature only allows me to export LOCAL calendar data, it would appear. Is...

    Boot Camp set up on a iMac Core2Duo. Just recently, one of my Win XP users reported that her iTunes wasn't working. It had been previously. I look in the Sound Control Panel and am told that there are apparently "No Playback Devices" installed. I look in the Device Manager and don't...

    Migrating IMAP mailboxes to a new Server

    sorry for having posted to the wrong category initially! I'm looking for a good solution for migrating about 45 IMAP mailboxes from a nearly-full server to a new server (both hosted remotely by Rackspace, who won't help, since they won't be liable for data loss). Both systems utilize the...

    Looking for an Applescript to Change Computer Sharing Name

    We often have temps in the office for data entry purposes. Our standard policy has been to name the temp's Macs as "TempMac1", "TempMac2", etc. This creates a problem with FileMaker, since it saves changes to the database as "last edited by _____" where _____ is the Computer Name as set in...

    Mail & IMAP: Dragged Messages Don't Arrive at Destination

    Odd new Mail.app behavior. When dragging messages to the IMAP account's inbox, they never arrive at the inbox. The message will be removed from the original location, but the second part of the process never seems to complete. This equals lost messages, which is no good. Details: iMac G5...

    A user in my office complains that she isn't receiving email. I check her Activity Viewer in Mail and see that it's hung up on "Performing rule actions", with a whole list of actions waitng behind it. I kill the offending action, let it run its course, and all is well. "Ok," I say, "I'll...

    Volume Controls on Keyboard Stops Working

    Here's an odd one.... just upgraded to a fancy new 20" Intel iMac. Every so often, no rhyme/reason (apparently) the volume controls on the keyboard stop working. Not the whole keyboard, just the volume up/down & mute. Oddly, this is repaired by unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back...

    Best way to migrate user information?

    I need to replace a dying hard drive in an iMac G5 (drive info: SATA 80gb) and would like to transfer the contents of the Users folder from the old drive to new, so as to preserve preferences, Microsoft User Data, etc. I'd thought about getting an external SATA enclosure and just cloning the...
