Creating rules - possible from within an email? what do diff options mean?

In previous email programs I've used (Eudora, Outlook), it is possible to create a rule while you're in a specific email, to direct it to a mailbox you've already set up. Is this possible in Mail, or are rules only created from within the Preferences dialog (a lousy choice)?
Also, can someone direct me to a list of definitions for each of the various options in the Rules dialog? My rules aren't working right, and I'm sure it's because I'm misunderstanding the subtle differences between the From/To/Any Recipient/Account/etc options.
Thanks!

To create a rule you have to go through Preferences/Rules. But as you set up a rule any appropriate values from the currently seelected email will be prefilled. So if you receive an email from me, and as you look at it you decide you don't want to see any more from me, you pull up the Rules dialog, click on Add Rule, and you will see that the From option has my email address filled in for you. If you change the filter option from From to Subject, the subject of my email will be filled in.
I don't know of any document that outlines the different options - have you looked at help? (This is not a smart answer, my mail help isn't working and I'm afraid I haven't bothered to fix it.) For the specific cases you mention:
From: the email address that shows in the From column in the mail list
To: is not necessarily you. It might for example be the name of a mail list, or it might be that the sender has included you as a CC or BCC, and so your name does not appear in the To:
Any Recipient: recipients (people this mail is delivered to) may be listed in the To: section, the CC: section, or the BCC: section. If you get a lot of mail that you want to filter, and a common feature is that Tom Jones always appears in one of these, but not the same one, then use Any rather than the specific recipient choices
Account: I have 5 or 6 different email accounts. I might want to treat differently mail from Tom Jones to me at one of those accounts from mail to me at another of those accounts.
If you want to post some problematic rules, with what is happening and what you had expected would happen, maybe someone can help.
Incoming mail is tested agains the rules in sequence, and triggering a rule does not necessarily stop the mail being tested against subsequent rules. It is often a good idea to consider whether the last action on a rule should be "stop evaluating rules".

HT5858 I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. So, in trying to revert to the default settings on my iPad I went into "Settings" and reset everything. Now, I have a black screen with a white apple and a white line! What do

For the last severl weeks I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. Thinking that I may have gone into "Settings" and set something wrong, I decided to reset to the default settings. So, in "Settings" I chose reset everything. Now, when I turn my iPad on all I get is a black screen with the picture of a white apple and a white line below it. Nothing else works. What can I do? Do I need to send this back to Apple to be restored?

You will hopefully be able to restore it yourself. It sounds like you erased all constant and settings rather than resetting all settings. But I'm basing my theory on the fact that you are seeing the Apple logo with the white progress bar (the white line) on the screen. That's what you would see if the software was being reinstalled and then it stopped on you. If that is what happened, you need to restore again and most likely need to use recovery mode.
You can read about recovery mode here.
Recovery mode - Apple
However ...... If you are seeing the white line when you turn the iPad, let it go for twenty minutes or so, before you try restoring again. There is possibility that the software is still be installed and it can take a while before you see that white line move at all indicating that progress is being made.
Frankly, I don't think that the software is still being installed, but since you didn't say specifically how long the iPad has been like this, it could just be that the software hasn't finished installing yet. If you know better - meaning that it's been like this for hours or longer, then you do need to restore the device.

How to create a Group from an existing email -

I just want to create a Group from an existing email received. Don't want to add people individually to Address Book, then drag them to the Group. Would prefer to copy/paste the addresses into the Group. I'm part of a team at work wth 25 people! Do I really have to add their addresses individually? Seems ridiculous. Don't even need their names - just the emails, so when I type in "United," for example, I get all the folks in that Group which is named "United."
Thanks.

There was a "magical" set of Applescripts that would have done that, but it no longer works.
There is no way in the OS to do that besides making the Applescript yourself using the current Script Editor.
Another way to do what you want is to select all of the addresses (select one, then cmd-A). Then, drag the selection to somewhere in the Finder. That will create a text clipping. You can then drag that text clipping into the address field in Mail.
The text clipping will be named with the first few email addresses. You can rename it in the Finder.
Each one can be your own "distribution" list.

Creating DVD Chapters from within DVD studio Pro

Hey,
Is this possible? Can we create DVD chapters from within DVD Studio Pro?
Chris

Yes, you can add chapter markers in the DVDSP timeline, although they are not frame accurate as they are in FCP. You'll typically get them within about half a second as they can only sit on a 'GOP' boundary, and these occur roughly every 15 frames equivalent.
To add a marker you move the playhead to where you want it and type the 'm' key, pretty much as in FCP.
The chapter marker then defines the start of a chapter for playback. You can manipulate the navigation such that only one chapter plays before you go back to the menu, or you can start at a marker and continue onwards. You can even create lists of markers that are not in track order and have playback jump about between them, although it's not always wise to do so!

Creating Purchase Requisitions from within PS (ie from network)

When creating purchase requisitions from within Projects Systems (ie activating them from a network) is there a "standard" way to put a cost center on the Purchase Requisition? Currently no cost center is put on the account assignment. We are looking at doing a custom field on the network header to hold the cost center and then a user exit to take this cost center and put it on the purchase requisition (and reservations) but before we go to all this trouble thought maybe I should check to see if I am missing something obvious? Is there a more straight-forward way to accomplish this? We know that we cannot edit the account assignment in ME52N becuase the PR originates from the network and therefore can only be changed from the network.
Any input welcome. Thanks.

Dear Laura,
When you will create Purchase Requistion through Network, system automatically takes account assignment category as "N" i.e Network. This you can not change in ME52N transaction.
So this is a standard practise for generating Purchase Requistion through Network in PS Module.
As you said putting Cost Center in Network Header as a Account Assignment Category which will go up to PO creation by using some User Exit which will not be possible in PS Module as per my knowledge is concern.
But you want to keep Cost Center as as a Account Assignement Category you need to create manual Purchase Requisition through ME51N transaction.
Hoping this will be useful to you.

Sandeep

I have a problem creating a pdf from within Firefox using the print to function.

I have a problem creating a PDF from within Firefox. I get an error message stating that Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated. Acrobat Pro then opens. If it try to create the PDF again, the same problem. I have FF ver 3.6.10 and Acrobat Pro 8 (from Acrobat CS3).

This is an Apple user forum, no-one from Apple is here.

I'm operating OS X 10.8.5, Mail 6.6, and I can't seem to extract jpgs or pdfs from within an email thread. Any suggestions as to how I can retrieve these files?

I"m operating OS X 10.8.5, Mail 6.6 and have discovered I can not extract jpgs from within an email thread. If I catch it upon arrival, everything's fine, but if I reply and continue the thread, the file is no longer extractable. Any advice?
Thank you,
April Snow

Thanks Eric,
I would try that if I could see the jpeg file. The problem is that once the original email has been responded to, and the thread continued, the jpg files disappear from the body of the original email. Hmmm. They must be there somewhere, but I can not locate them.

How to create Default Schema from within the application

Hi friends
I am creating users using the following within my application using this syntax
BEGIN
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER
(:P124_USER_ID, :P124_USER_NAME,:P124_USER_FIRST_NAME,:P124_USER_LAST_NAME,' ',:P124_USER_EMAIL_ID,'xxxx');
END;
The default workspace for the user is set as blanks. I would like to set it to be the default workspace as per the current logged in user.
Can you help me with the syntax for this
thank you in advance
Laxmi

Laxmi,
The subject of the post is "How to create Default Schema from within the application".
But your question asks how to set the "default workspace" for a newly created user.
Those are different questions and not the ones I think you need answered.
Let me answer this question "How can you set the default schema for an account when creating the account and set it to the same value used for the default schema attribute of the administrator account used to authenticate to the currently running application?".
In the apex_util.create_user call use named parameter notation and fetch the information about the currently logged-in user first, e.g.,declare
l_workspace               varchar2(256);
l_user_name               varchar2(256);
l_first_name              varchar2(256);
l_last_name               varchar2(256);
l_web_password            varchar2(256);
l_email_address           varchar2(256);
l_start_date              varchar2(256);
l_end_date                varchar2(256);
l_employee_id             varchar2(256);
l_allow_access_to_schemas varchar2(256);
l_person_type             varchar2(256);
l_default_schema          varchar2(256);
l_groups                  varchar2(256);
l_developer_role          varchar2(256);
l_description             varchar2(256);
begin
apex_util.fetch_user (
p_user_id                  => apex_util.get_current_user_id,
p_workspace                => l_workspace,
p_user_name                => l_user_name,
p_first_name               => l_first_name,
p_last_name                => l_last_name,
p_web_password             => l_web_password,
p_email_address            => l_email_address,
p_start_date               => l_start_date,
p_end_date                 => l_end_date,
p_employee_id              => l_employee_id,
p_allow_access_to_schemas => l_allow_access_to_schemas,
p_person_type              => l_person_type,
p_default_schema           => l_default_schema,
p_groups                   => l_groups,
p_developer_role           => l_developer_role,
p_description              => l_description);
apex_util.create_user(
p_user_id        => :P124_USER_ID,
p_user_name      => :P124_USER_NAME,
p_first_name     => :P124_USER_FIRST_NAME,
p_last_name      => :P124_USER_LAST_NAME,
p_email_address => :P124_USER_EMAIL_ID,

Self Modifying Application (Creating ad-ons from within an application)

Ok, it's hard to ask this right...
In the past, I used VB and the VBScript ActiveX to allow the user to write code that my UI could use within itself, for example, to change the way a file would load or to extend the file open save mechanism...
Is there a way to do this maybe using the jscript engine?
Or, even better, is there a way I could compile a real java object from within my UI and create it/connect to it in my application when compiling is done?
The user would be presented a code window where he'd type in the code. In the window, he could use all the java classes to write his code and classes.
The UI would save and compile the code and start using it right away.
If someone could point me the right way.
Thanks.

In the past, I used VB and the VBScript ActiveX to
allow the user to write code that my UI could use
within itself, for example, to change the way a file

Is there a way to do this maybe using the jscript
engine?Not sure what you mean by jscript engine.

Create fixed assets from within the transaction for creating the purchase order

Hello All,
I have gone through the notes on help.sap.com related to automatic creation of asset master record at the time of creating purchase order. I am not sure how do we achieve this?
Link to the notes on help.sap.com
SAP Library - Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
Any suggesstions from the expert group is appreciated.
Thank you,
Vinay

Hi Vinay
I know there is a feature whereby you assign asset classes per material group and then you create assets from within the PO. I never used it though
Let me tell you one thing or rather ask you. Will you as a finance consultant be willing to let a MM guy create the assets??
Or will a MM guy be willing to create it?? If you allow them, you should be ready for surprises.
Honestly, this is a feature not worth exploring unless a FI guy is willing to create the PO. I would suggest the creation of asset masters should be with FI only

Creating form element from within a component

Hi all,
I am trying to create a form element within a component
function which is then called from a .cfm page which has the cfform
tags. I keep getting a context validation error for the form
element tag. Here is some sample code:
<cfcomponent name="yourComponent">
<cffunction name="createTag" returntype="string"
access="public">
<cfsavecontent variable="returnContent">
<cfselect name="thisSelect">
<option value="0">Value 1</option>
</cfselect>
</cfsaveconten>
<cfreturn returnContent>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And in the .cfm page:
<cfform>
<cfinvoke component="yourComponent" method="createTag"
returnVariable="returnContent"/>
<cfoutput>#returnContent#</cfoutput>
</cfform>
The error occurs in the function and it says the cfselect
must be within a cfform. I tried the function without the save
content and just set the output="yes" but the same error occurs.
Any help appreciated in how to get around this. Just putting
the code in the .cfm is not an option for this.
Any help appreciated.
Jim

After some further investigation, I found out that a regular

ColdFusion wants it directly within the <cfform> tag.
Something does not make sense. If the cfsavecontent worked in
the cfm file, there is no reason for it not to work in a cfc.
If you want to persue this, the next troubleshooting step is
to copy the function to your cfm file and see if it works. I
suspect that you are trying something simple as a proof of concept.

Submit / Approve / Reject Infopath Forms from within Outlook Email

Hi,
I have a requirement where I am building workflows for a client in SP2013. I am using Infopath and Nintex. The client has a specific requirement that all end-user actions need to be handled from within the outlook email body context i.e. the Infopath
form will be embedded within the email body from where each user within the worklfow will access the form and interact based on their actions.
So my query is,
1) How to control the Views for each user within the Infopath form if its to be embedded within the Outlook email.
2) How to control the actions for the user interaction (submit, approve, reject, etc.) so as to ensure the workflow proceeds with its process cycle as expected.
In the whole scenario, the end-user wont access the inofpath form in the web browser or the infopath client application. It will be accessed from within the Outlook email.

Hi,
When we use SharePoint approval workflow to assign tasks for users, then the tasks will be sent together with the email, users can click Open this task button in Outlook to view the task form.

When you submit an InfoPath form as a email, then users can click Open Form button to open the forms from Outlook which needs to have InfoPath installed.

Want to downgrade from Leopard to Tiger - what are my options?

Hi,
I installed Leopard on my partner's iBook G4 (1.2ghz) and its speed has reduced to a crawl. I would like to go back and re-install Tiger from its original install discs but need to retain the home folder. What are my options and am I going to come across any issues downgrading? (aside from any apps that require Leopard)
Thanks,
Neil

If you had an external FireWire hard disk drive enclosure,
of the bootable-type chipset, Mac compatible, and chose
to clone the Leopard full installation to that external drive
(as most externals do have or can be equipped with a
faster spinning hard disk drive, it boots performance and
could be used at home for desktop computing) it is very
possible to clone the OS X and everything off the iBook
and again try your luck with Tiger 10.4.11 in the iBook.
If clones appear to be an option, be certain the cloned
computer contents (a full computer clone) is made on
a partitioned hard disk drive in proper enclosure; and
the clone is tested prior to erasing the host computer's
original drive contents. You can make clones and then
there are Clones. Some can just work, but once in
awhile, they don't. The two well known clone utilities
are good options, and reading up on the topic helps.
re: Carbon Copy Cloner, Bombich; and Super Duper.
Free space may be at a premium in the small internal
hard disk drive of the iBook; and older previous system
folders, saved from other Archives, Updates, etc may
have to be looked for, and trashed if they exist.
The latest iLife 09 was not recommended in some
hardware configurations by users and others who
tried that version in older PPC hardware; the iTunes
is a download, so it should work in Tiger equally well.
The iDVD and iMovie, may have issues; iPhoto is
OK in some older PPC G4s and not others.
And older applications added to the installation which
worked well under Tiger may not be happy in Leopard.
And your mileage may vary...
Good luck & happy computing!

Repairing start up disk from within disk utiltity no longer an option

When I first upgraded to 10.4, I could repair the startup volume from within disk utility, now, that button is greyed out and no longer an option!
Any thoughts?
thanks

Methinks you are mistaken. You could not verify or repair the boot volume using Disk Utiltiy prior to 10.4.3. In 10.4.3 and later, you can verify it, but need to enable journaling. See <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672> for details.

Changing cross-reference formats - what do my options mean?

Hi all, using TCS2 on Win 7 64 bit.
I have a question about changing a cross-reference format. I have one that is "<paratext>" right now - the " included. So my xref says (for example):
For more information, please see "Appendix 1".
I want to change this to that it doesn't show quotation marks anymore. I know the HOW of doing this, my question is once I have made the change, a dialogue box appears asking me which cross-references this change should apply to. My options are:
Internal Cross-References
References to All Open Documents
References to All Documents
I don't know which one I should chose. I am working in a book structure that has a bunch of FM files imported to form chapters. Each file file uses this old style xref so I need to update the xref format in each file (I think I need to do this one by one) and in some instances my xrefs are within the same doc, sometimes they are to other files within the FM book. So I think I need to pick 'References to All Documents' but it says there is no undo so I'm seeking advice first!
Many thanks in advance,
Adriana

Internal means only within the current document. All open, and all, are self-explanatory.
Your question shows that you're not sure what will happen when all instances of the cross-references that use the format are changed, either because you can't remember what you created in your own book, or because you're working on a book created by someone else, or that you collaborate on with others.
Don't let "no undo" scare you off. You can undo the result by saving all the files, before you do the changes. From within the book window, hold Shift while clicking the File menu - Save changes to Save All Files in Book. Or, from within any open file, hold Shift while clicking the File menu - Save changes to Save All Open Files. After you save the files, performing any non-undoable operation like changing the cross-reference format only makes the changes, but doesn't save the affected files. These actions are undoable by holding Shift while clicking the File menu again; from within a book window, Close becomes Close All Files in Book, and from with an open file, Close becomes Close all open files. When prompted to save, click Don't Save. Alternatively, from within each open and changed file, File > Revert prompts for confirmation, and if you choose to continue, the last-saved version of the file reopens.
If you want yet another safety layer, copy the whole file structure that will be affected to a safe location. If the set of assets is sprinkled all around the system, Bruce Foster's inexpensive FM plug-in "archive" will copy the whole collection into one place: http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster/products.htm.
