TS2998 Help! My Mac mail uses another person's name in stead of mine in the "from" heading when trying to send e-mail. How can I fix this?

Mac mail started using another person's name instead of mine. In the "From" line it shows someone other than me so the receipient will not know I am sending them an e-mail. HELP!, This is crazy. Is there a fix?

Does this problem happen EVERY time you send an email?
Do you see the wrong FROM entry before you hit the send button? Or does the recipient report seeing another name other than yours?
Do you recognize the incorrect name being shown? Is it something you or someone else using your machine have ever used? Is it a name you have never heard of before?
Go to your SENT folder in Apple Mail. What do you see when you open one of your SENT emails, in the FROM slot? Is the name correct or incorrect?
Also, I don't understand your comment "I noticed it when I try to send a link via e-mail to another person." are you saying that when you paste a link into an email to someone that your name in the FROM field changes? Where are you putting the link, in what place in the email?

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog. Some of the pictures display perfectly. Others are blury. How can I fix this?

I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos. They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed. Must be another solution????

Ged,
whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
More later.

My gmail in the email app doesn't support thai e-mails. how can i fix this?

I currently own an ipad 2 and am loving it! However, when I go to check my g-mail through the e-mail app, i get a funky script like: ÑáĶ áæØé
It's only for emails sent from thailand in thai font. why is this happening and how can i fix it?
Please help.

It is no doubt an encoding problem. Unfortunately the iPad Mail app lacks the ability found in the full OS X to switch encodings. The only thing you can try is to switch the OS language to Thai and see if that helps. Or try reading your mail with a browser.
Or ask the senders to use Unicode UTF-8.
You can report the problem to Apple here:

My contacts vanished when I was manually adding them on my Ipad 2. I use outlook contacts when I sync on ITunes. How can I fix this problem?

I'm having the same issue and I'm using outlook when synchronizing. However, I'm not sure if this is an Oultook vs. MobileMe deal. The thing is: I got my IPad 2, made sync with Itunes and got all contacts from my Outlook and when I was making few adjustments / updates to such contacts directly on my IPad 2 (without being connected to anywhere, the software crashed and the contacts simply VANISHED ! Please help me... I'm really concerned with that because now I have everything on my Outlook, but I gotta be able to update many contacts in events (for example, a meeting or a workshop) directly from my IPad, being away from my computer, and now I'm in total risk of simply losing them... I simply don't believe that a bug with totally affects the product reliability can't be simply solved!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for starting the thread clisfromSLC.
I am facing the exact same problem with my brand new ipad2. The addition of a single contact post a successful sync, caused the app to crash. Restarting the app did not get the contacts back. Neither did restarting the ipad itself.
I dont want to rely on the ipad now until I have a patch or OS update that corrects this issue. If I add several contacts and suddenly lose all of them, it's not something i really look forward to.
Can someone please help? Thanks so much.

I can no longer use PubMed from Firefox. It works in Safari. How can I fix this?

This is a new problem as I have been able to use PubMed via Firefox in the past. I haven't noticed any trouble with other websites while in Firefox. I can search PubMed fine while in Safari but my EndNote doesn't interface with Safari for some reason and really want to be able to use PubMed through Firefox. Is this fixable? I have the most current Firefox too.

Could you be more specific regarding what issues you are having specifically? (i.e. What you are attempting to do, what's not working etc..)
You could also use safe-mode which especially since it sounds like a compatibility issue solves most issues or identifies the source
The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

The new itunes overfills my window. When I try to move it to the left so that I can use the slide bar on the right, part of the left side of screen is not visible. How can I fix this, please.

The new itunes overfills the window on my desktop ( windows 7). When I move it to the left so that I can access the slidebar on the right, part of the left side of the screen then disappears. How do I correct this?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

I can't use the swipe feature on my ipod touch 5. How can I fix this?

My ipod touch 5, 28 GB will not allow me to swipe or scroll. I have to tap the feature I want then a box appears around it & then I have to double-tap to get it to work. I can't access anything that is not on the first screen because I can't scroll down. I have no idea what to do to fix this.

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My trusty iPod Classic is no longer recognized by my Mac and it indicates that all my music is gone. Yet it shows 40 megs of data on board. How can I fix this compatibility issue?

Trusty iPod Classis now says no music yet shows 40 megs of storage. How can I restore the music on my iPod?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

Since updating to Mavericks I can't use the smart groups in Contacts to send emails. How do I fix this?

Since updating to OSX Mavericks I can't use the smart groups in Contacts to address emails. This was not a problem previously. How do I get the functionality of smart groups restored?

I discovered this problem this morning after upgarding to Mavericks.
I've found an easy answer: Apple have changed the way it confirms the addition of Groups it seems.
Type the name of the group in the Cc: or Bcc: field, hit the Space bar, then hit Enter. Vavoom!!
Hope this helps.

When i am using the restart function, lion will surely fail start. How can I fix this problem?

RT. I am using a brand new mac mini.

Do you mean the Restart function under the Apple menu? What happens when you try?
Launch the Console utility before you try to invoke a restart and look for messages that might explain the problem.
