Mail.app signatures and rules gone after update

After updating to OS X 10.9.4 and Mail.app 7.3 all my mail signatures and rules are gone.
If I now recreate those rules and signatures they are gone when I restart.
I have tried repairing permissions in disk utility. It has not restored my lost configurations nor does it allow me to maintain preferences across restarts.
I do not have Time Machine backups, all my data is with Google. The only things on my computer which are not on Google are things like this Mail client configuration.
Has anyone else lost this configuration and been able to restore it?

  • Has anyone else had an issue where Mail.app signatures and rules disappeared?

    For unknown reasons, I lost all my Mail.app signatures and Rules on Oct 10, 2012 at about 9:00AM PST.
    Anybody else see something like this?
    Also, I am getting sandboxd warnings that are Mail preference related....
    I am guessing that the preferences access error that the sandboxd is having is related but who knows...
    Anybody seen these kinda log messages?
    11/8/12 6:08:53.579 PM sandboxd[1589]: ([423]) Mail(423) deny file-read-data /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    repeated many times per hour.
    there also seems to be a problem with the mdworker process .... that is perhaps related to the Mail issue....

    I think this is an issue with the phone's proximity sensor (the one that turns the screen off when you hold it up to your ear). It's a bug that seems to occur when you switch to another app (any app) while still on a phone call. You'll notice in Messages that the screen goes dark when you move your thumb over the earpiece/iSight camera, but not when you move your other thumb.
    Simplest solution is to force-quit the Messages app (double-click the home button, and swipe up on the app). The problem should resolve itself when you restart Messages.

  • New Glitch with mail app setup in "Other" tab after update 5.0.1

    Just for the record everyone. After the update to 5.0.1 If you have enabled iCloud on setup after you did a restore and erase-- if you had update problems as I did with my wife's iPhone-- the setup for mail is different. When you try to resetup your old email account in the mail app under the "other" tab it defaults to IMAP only --you do NOT get a choice to choose IMAP or POP after the first setup screen. Why? Lord only knows. Well, I called apple tech support and they were of no help at all and essentially shrugged their collective shoulders.         You will all be happy to know that I have solved this problem on my own and I think it bears repeating to all of you, as I am sure others have come upon this problem as well. The solution appears to be to turn off iCloud and delete the iCloud account (keep the data on your phone of course) in settings and then turn off push notifications. Then restart your phone. You may have to restart twice. Then try setting up your mail account under "other". Then when you have filled out the first setup acct screen and go to the next screen. Volia!  You should then see the option on the next setup screen to choose IMAP or POP. You can then input the settings as per your POP account as specified by your carrier. One note however, the verify process may take up to a minute or more--very slow for some reason when setting up as a POP acct. Anyway, I thought this was weird because under 5.0-- I would get the option after first email setup screen to choose HTTP, IMAP or POP??           My theory is that somehow IMAP gets defaulted as the only choice because iCloud operates that way if enabled etc. You can then turn iCloud back on as well as resetup acct-- as well as push notifications and your POP email acct should still continue to work as configured. I think this is a definite glitch or bug with the update to 5.0.1? I knew that POP was still supported since my iPhone did not need to be reset or erased after the update to 5.0.1 and my POP acct was still there working as configured but if I tried to add another POP acct under "Other" it would also only default straight to IMAP after setup screen. Very weird Bug to say the least.             I hope that helps some of you out there. I have reported this bug to Apple officially.  My setup is an iPhone 4S as is my wife's with ios 5.0.1

  • Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there.  When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect.  I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect.  It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box.  Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone.  I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
    Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away?  I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
    Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

    Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>
    this one up.

  • All pictures and videos gone after update to 1.1 o...

    I have nearly 2000 pictures.... I hope I do not have to sort and tag pictures again.....

  • Mail.app plugins and dot releases...

    I am a beta tester, currently using the 10.6.7 beta on my MacBook as I write small programs for my own personal use in my day to day professional life so need to keep myself up to date to make sure my workflow can carry on uninterrupted (I am a Medic, so making sure I can do my daily work without interruption is VERY important).
    Each dot update for OS X Snow Leopard seems to break mail plugins, this is not an isolated or unknown issue and it's not just the betas, the GM updates also break mail plugins. I currently use GrowlMail and WideMail, but not WideMail does not work following the update to 10.6.7.
    Any fixes? Normally the old adding plugin UUIDs to the .plist files for each plugin works but I haven't been able to find any info on the plugin UUIDs for 10.6.7.
    C'mon Apple, I know the plugins are third party and not your responsibility, but mail.app is and each time we update our plugins stop working. 9 times out of 10, we don't need new plugins, we just need to modify the ones that exist. What happened to it just works? Am I doomed to have to keep repeating this process with each update?
    Must be a better way...

    yes...and it has now happened again with the release of 10.6.7. My Mail plug-ins have all gone AWOL.
    Rather than looking for ways to update the plug-ins, or forcing users to jump through hoops to make them work, shouldn't Apple be incorporating some new features into Mail itself? As an email client, it's way behind where Eudora was 10 years ago.
    My main issue with Mail is visibility- it's very easy to miss an important incoming message.
    BTW, beta testers are supposed to sign an agreement that they won't tell anyone they are beta testers, or what they're doing.

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

  • Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps have waiting next to them and i cant access them from the interface

    Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps are greyed out and i cant access them via the phone interface
    I can only access them via the App store

    I did plug it into itunes and then backed it up to the cloud (im actually wondering if thats my problem)
    then restored it from the cloud. 
    Maybe I should restore it from the computer (when its plugged into itunes?)
    thanks sberman

  • Any reason my signatures and rules should disappear completely?

    Since installing OS X Yosemite, there have been a couple of unexplainable faults occurring, some of which is currently being 'dealt with' by senior technicians. the latest is that now my signatures and rules within the Mail app have totally disappeared... Is there a reason for this? Has anybody else experienced the same phenomenon before I start to build them again?
    Thanks.

    Maybe it's time to admit that Apple Mail is wonky, and move to a more stable app. Maybe Apple is in the watch business. The Mail app is not ready for prime time.

  • App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

    App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.  My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store.  The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

    all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone.  How do I get them back?
    Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
    Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
    And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
    You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

  • Has anyone else had the issue of losing the YouTube apps on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5

    Has anyone else had the issue of losing theYouTube app on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5?  (The Restrictions is turned as OFF)
    The Youtube app is now cleaned away from the IOS 4.3.5
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This still doesn't make sense. The iPhone 4 may have come with a number of different versions of iOS out of the box depending on when it was purchased and how long it had sat on the shelf.
    If you can't find it, check restrictions and make sure you haven't locked it out.
