If the application is the same, return the.plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one. Question: Q: Mac OS Messages quit unexpectedly More Less. On macOS, Messages has several of the fun effects that can be found on its iOS counterpart to help liven up your conversations.However, Messages for Mac isn't quite the same app as Messages for iPhone and iPad, with a number of effects left out of this version that have made their way to the mobile app.

When I attempt to install I get the above message. I Erased again, got the same disk info,/Volumes/xxxx's Airbook, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled), 3 folders, 3 files 111.4GB available, Verify disk is OK. I also have a new 10.6 installation disk but I can't get the 10.5 disk out of the external drive. Dec 21, 2020 Therefore, if you are using macOS later than Sierra and want to recover iMessages, give a cross-check to ensure that the messages have been saved on your Mac hard drive. Step 1 You can choose where to save your chat history from the Messages app. Open the Messages app and go to Preferences General. Apple's made a public beta available of Messages for Mac available to anyone running Mac OS X 10.7 'Lion,' meaning that there's no need to wait until the release of 'Mountain Lion.'

If you have the preview pane open in Apple's Mail, with your list of Inbox messages on the top and the preview of the selected message on the bottom, then the up and down arrow keys will allow you to move the selection up and down the message list, subsequently showing you a preview of the newly selected message.

While it is true you can use the preview pane and scroll through the message list with the arrow keys, there's still a snag. When you hit a message that's longer than the preview pane, you have to either mouse down or tab down to scroll through that message and then mouse back or tab back to move to the next message.
Personally, I like the way you can do it in Eudora. I have the open next message command set to CMND-Down arrow, then I just scroll through the window using the arrow keys. This means all navigation through the mail box can be done with just three keys (CMND, up arrow, down arrow). It would be nice if Mail allowed such a simple system. I just wish Eudora allowed the above to move you only to the next unread message, rather than just to the next in line.

Just use the space bar -- space scrolls the previewed message down, shift-space scrolls up. Between the arrow keys and space bar, you can do all that you want.

But only if you use the Preview Pane.

Is there a way to get Mail.app toactually open the next unread msg as opposed to just highlighting it as this script does? This is the same sort of action as Eudora. I tried adding:
open selected messages
as in
tell the front message viewer
set unreadMessages to (the messages whose ¬
read status is false) as list
if (count of unreadMessages) is not 0 then
set selected messages to {the first item of unreadMessages}
else
beep
end if
open selected messages
end tell
and it does work for the first initiation of the script (e.g. it opens the first unread msg), but each subsequent invocation of the script does nothing but highlight the next unread msg.

i dont understand the '___ctl-n cause the script to use ^N as a keyboard shortcut.'
does this work for all scripts in OSX? doesnt seem to work for me.

Yes - the shortcuts technique listed here works for any scripts (AS, shell, perl, etc) that you can use through the Scripts menu. Seems to be very little documentation on this though.

You can also simply hit spacebar to scroll through all messages. What I would really like is an option to jump to the next unread message in any mailbox when I reach the end of one mailbox like Mozilla does.

Hitting the space bar only works with the preview pane open. And if you've got the preview pane open, you can use the arrow keys as well.
This script is for those of us who don't use the preview pane.

I don't know much about Applescript, so this may be something easy that I'm missing. However, it doesn't appear that this searches messages that are arranged by thread. I can find all of the messages that are *not* in threads just fine.

I use a smart folder called 'Unread' that shows all my unread messages. In that folder I can use the spacebar to step through all my new e-mails.

[quote]I use a smart folder called 'Unread' that shows all my unread messages. In that folder I can use the spacebar to step through all my new e-mails.[/quote] Ok, that may well be the best use of a smart mailbox I've ever heard of, and now I have to try it for myself! I'm having an specific issue within Mail regarding the 'next unread message', and I wonder if anyone's got a suggestion for this problem. I'm subscribed to a email list, and I have setup a filter to move all incoming emails from that list into a folder for browsing. As I'm browsing the unread emails in that folder, which is sorted both as a 'date received' and 'threaded' view. I will read the first unread message, then hit the space bar to get to the next message. The posters on this list put their new comments at the top of the email, so reading 12 related postings is as simple as clicking to a message, reading the top paragraph withing the preview pane, and then clicking the next unreard message. I'd love to be able to navigate this via the keyboard like Thunderbird allows you to. Pressing 'N' to see the next unread message would be soo sweet. I wonder why Apple has not integrated a feature like this. Once a thread gets to about 10 or 12 postings, there is quite a bit of cruft left over at the bottom of each email. Pressing the space bar 8 times in order to scroll all the way through a message just to get to the next message is NOT GOOD for disabled users.

'and that's the way it oughta be!'

In order to run the script you can use the free (at least for now) Butler http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?thema=butler&sprache=english - you can make a hotkey or a script button on a menubar... life-saver ;)

Two decades ago this week, the first version of Mac OS X hit shelves. We're not talking figuratively. The software was sold direct to consumers on disk, with a suggested retail price of $129 (roughly $190 today, adjusted for inflation).

Back in 2001, Mac OS X 10.00 Cheetah was a rough-around-the-edges break from the ageing Classic Mac OS, which had much of its origins in the original Macintosh’s System 1 software. In the years since, the platform has undergone two architecture shifts (PowerPC to Intel, and now Arm) and matured to the point where it commands nearly 10 per cent of desktop market share globally.

Getting there, however, wasn’t easy.

From big problems to big cats

The story of Mac OS X didn’t start in 2001, but rather in 1985, when Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple following a failed boardroom coup, and multiple product flops. The Apple Lisa project was a dismal failure, selling just 10,000 units. The Macintosh, although infinitely more successful by comparison, failed to slow the ascent of IBM in the PC market, and didn’t meet the company’s lofty sales goals.

Although Jobs was no longer part of Apple, he remained involved in the computer industry, later founding NeXT Inc, which aimed to build workstation-class machines for the higher education market. Its first computer, revealed in 1988, was a powerful (albeit excruciatingly expensive) cube of black aluminium based on a 25MHz Motorola 68030 CPU and 68882 FPU, with 8MB RAM and an optional 330MB or 660MB hard disk. It came with a bespoke UNIX-based operating system called NeXTSTEP that was founded on the Mach and BSD kernels, with object oriented programming principles throughout.

It was revolutionary, but that wasn’t enough to overcome its steep $6,500 ($14,500 in today’s money) asking price. Universities didn’t bite – although the hardware was used to develop the first web browser and server, as well as id Software’s Doom and Quake. By 1993, NeXT had left the hardware business to focus on porting NeXTSTEP to IBM-compatible PC, as well as PA-RISC, SPARC, and the Motorola 68k architectures.

Apple had its own problems, too. The Macintosh was stagnating. Windows 95 – which combined the previously separate DOS and Windows software – proved to be a roaring success, helping Microsoft expand its market share. When it arrived in 1995, Windows 95 was highly usable for first-time computer owners, and had features Mac OS 7 simply lacked, like preemptive multitasking. Separately, a disastrous decision by then-CEO Michael Spindler to license Mac OS 7 to third-party manufacturers resulted in the company’s high-margin hardware sales shrinking further.

The Next Step

By 1997, Apple was mere weeks away from bankruptcy. As a Hail Mary, CEO Gil Amelio (who replaced Spindler in 1996) acquired NeXT, bringing Jobs back to the company he founded from a Los Altos garage. While Jobs (who would assume the top role the following year) would ultimately nurse the company back to health, Apple was most interested in the NeXTSTEP operating system.

You see, Mac OS was, at the time, stagnant. Whereas Windows had made leaps and bounds in terms of things like peripheral support and the internet, Apple had yet to implement basic system-level features like pre-emptive multitasking, multithreading, and protected memory. During the Amelio years, Apple had attempted to create a new operating system on a clean-sheet kernel called Nukernel, but it died in the fiery pits of development hell.

With Jobs at the helm, work started on a new operating system based on NeXTSTEP. The old Mac OS 9 nanokernel was replaced with Darwin, itself a direct descendant of the NeXTSTEP kernel. Other NeXT features - like the use of object-oriented programming, the Objective-C language, and the Dock - also made an appearance. It was a clean break with the past, with a brand new interface dubbed Aqua, and APIs that would allow developers to port their existing software.

This, ultimately, became Mac OS X 10.00 Cheetah. And while its legacy continues to this day, the initial launch was somewhat underwhelming. It lacked feature parity with Mac OS 9, with DVD playback and CD burning unavailable at launch. Despite the release of a public beta, many developers (including Microsoft and Adobe) hadn’t updated their software to use the Aqua APIs. And it was dog slow, particularly when running applications using the backwards-compatible Classic APIs.

Worse, while many had hoped the Unix foundations and protected memory of Mac OS X would improve stability when compared to its predecessors, the software was rife with fatal bugs, which frequently presented themselves when using external peripherals.

The road since travelled

Teething problems with Mac OS X Cheetah didn’t stop Apple’s upward trajectory, and many of these issues were resolved in later releases. The next release, Mac OS X 10.1 Puma focused on performance improvements and improving feature parity with the Classic Mac OS, and was offered as a free update to existing users.

The next major update came in 2002. Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar fixed the long-standing issues with printer support through the release of CUPS – the Common Unix Printing System – which was subsequently open-sourced and is now widely used across the Linux sphere. By that point, Apple was so confident in Mac OS X, Jobs performed a mock funeral for the Classic Mac OS X on stage at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

At the time, Mac OS X was exclusively available for the PowerPC platform. By the decade’s halfway point, it was struggling to compete with chips from Intel in key metrics like power consumption. IBM, which built PowerPC chips on behalf of Apple, was manufacturing on larger nodes than those used by Intel, which was already transitioning to 65nm. Whereas it once enjoyed a competitive edge in processing power, Apple was faced with the prospect of losing that advantage.

And so, in 2005, Apple announced the transition to Intel, starting with Mac OS X 10.4.4 Tiger. This had been on the cards for some time. For each version of Mac OS X released, Apple had secretly created an x86 port, so there wasn’t much re-architecting required internally.

Apple had flirted with a move to Intel in the past. Rhapsody OS, which later became Mac OS X Server 1.0, was released for both PowerPC and x86, with versions for IBM RISC System/6000 and DEC Alpha architectures considered. Additionally, the foundational basis of Mac OS X, NeXTSTEP, was also available for Intel processors. This preparation and experience allowed Apple to recognise the writing on the wall and pivot.

As transitions go, the shift to Intel was as painless as could be, especially compared to the jarring leap from Mac OS Classic to Mac OS X. Legacy apps were able to run via the Rosetta compatibility mode (which was later discontinued in 2012). Developers could target both PowerPC and Intel platforms with universal binaries. And Apple offered developers a rental “transition kit” ahead of the public launch, giving them a head start.

In retrospect, this experience informed Apple’s next platform shift, with the company moving from Intel to its own Arm-based Apple Silicon processors in 2020. It has used the same playbook, down to the developer tools and pre-release transition hardware.

Plus ça change

In the two decades since the launch of Mac OS X, a few things have changed. Objective-C is declining in popularity, with Apple’s syntactically nicer Swift programming language gathering pace. The name changed a few times too, with Apple re-branding the system OS X in 2012, and finally macOS with the launch of version 10.12 Sierra. We’ve seen the launch of the Metal graphics API, which provided better rendering performance for games and other visually-intensive apps, as well as the inclusion of iOS and iPadOS features, like Siri.

But the foundations first introduced in 2001 are still there, from the UNIX underpinnings to the NeXTSTEP Dock. While Windows has undergone multiple UI changes, macOS has largely remained mutually intelligible with its predecessors. As a collector of retro Apple kit (your correspondent has around 30 machines, ranging from a Mac OS 7-era Performa, to various post-Jobs PowerBooks and iBooks), it’s amazing to see how little has changed. I can use an iBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.3 Jaguar and feel just at home as I would with a latest generation M1 MacBook Air.

And that is the story of Mac OS X. It didn't seem like it would make it, but getting the fundamentals right – dare we say it even more than the cult of Steve Jobs – matters. ®
