Mail + ITunes dramatic issues after re-installing Panther
after a year of use, my PB 12' was full of data, and started to slow down. I decided to format+reinstall Panther.
I backed up everything (incl. the full users folder, so the music library, and the /library/application support etc...) on an external HD
I then reinstalled Panther without trouble, then updated to 10.3.2
Now I'm facing 2 really troublesome issues:
- ITUNES
-------------------------------------
I made the update to 4.2... then "double clicked" on a mp3 file in my music library. It loads (as usual) in Itunes, it the appears in the Library... but when I play the file, it looks like it's played... just a bit TOO FAST ! like it was played at a 1.2x speed.
Deleted, reinstalled, tried other MP3s....doesn't evolve. still runs too fast.
Any ideas on this issue ? checked several forums so far, no hints found.
- MAIL
------------------------------------
Mail doesn't import the .mbox properly. It imports a 1 Go mailbox in about 5 seconds, then the folder contains just a single mail... which is a " no subject - no sender" mail. that mail freeses the indexing process and is, of course, not readable. All "folders" in my mailbox are rightly imported, but all contain this weird blank mail.
I tried to erase all prefs, then replace it with the full content of my backup. I end at the same spot, with no msgs imported but this weird blank e-mail.
Any ideas on this issue, too ??? So far, I haven't found anything useful.
Your help would be much appreciated. In the meanwhile, I switched (back) to Entourage.

grrrrrrrr
how did you copy your original files to the external HD?
have you tried to copy everything back to the reformatted HD? (only things from your home library...)
how many mp3s do you have? (format has NOTHING to do with this)
how did you "rip" them originally?
do you have all the latest updates installed?
what are your hardware specs? (ram, proc, HD (free and total)) any upgrades/extras (peripherals)?
Any hacks installed? (yes even the ones that are in cocktail and apps like that....)
edit: oh and can a mod please move this to the GB?
