My MacBook Pro runs OS 10.7.4. I recently found an iPod Mini from 2005 that I had never used. Tried to install the iPod software but the MBP says it won't work with it.
Is there any way to fix this? adTHANKSvance!
I upgraded to OS 10.7.4 for good reasons, but didn't know that it would not let me use Eudora for mail, which I have used for about 15 years. Now I'm using "Mail" which came with my MBP, but having some problems getting used to it.
Most notably, where are the mail files and attachments? Eudora had them in a "Eudora Folder" but "Mail" does not have an equivalent folder. I want to know where they are so I can (1) be sure I back them up, and (2) delete attachments or open them with any application I want to use.
A search with Finder finds attachments in a folder called Library inside a folder with my name, but I can't find the Library folder there.
Assistance appreciated. adTHANKSvance!
G,
OnyX - This worked, thank you SO MUCH Glenn!!! I am truly so very happy now. My Shift-Command-4 now makes JPGs in 10.7.4, I am so very happy about that.
I really appreciate it. Really, so happy, I make screenshots alot, this totally helps.
Blessings to you.

Hi Dale,
Terminal is simply a tool that lets you get down to the command line layer of OS X/Unix and, in this case, directly edit some system settings. So you don't need to reset Terminal itself. You need to reset whatever settings were borked.
If you are a beginner at this, I'd recommend using a free tool like Onyx. It lets you adjust "hidden" OS settings like this, but gives you a graphical interface in which to do it. Much easier/safer.

In Onyx, screen capture settings are under Parameters > General. Hopefully, setting those to JPEG in Onyx will overwrite whatever you did earlier from Terminal (maybe adjust this to PNG and back to JPEG a couple of times to be sure).
If that doesn't work, let us know exactly what you typed into Terminal.
Good luck!

Aside from my more-reliable Gmail and private server email accounts, I have some older ones on Yahoo, Live (MS) and AOL. They randomly error out, telling Mail that my password is wrong when it worked 5 minutes prior, and that causes Mail to turn around and ask for your password again. You can hit 'Cancel' to leave your password as-is.
If you are using IMAP with these services, you could try reverting to good old POP3/SMTP. That's slightly less error-prone, since it's simpler.
But it's not Apple Mail at fault. Any remote email app will have the same problem if the server doesn't act right.

Is there a good email freeware or shareware?
Is it better to just use Safari and go online like I used to?
Thanks for any and all advice.
