Adding Signatures in Mail

I just tried to add another signature to my Mail. But, for some reason, it doesn't show up in the Signature selection area when I am writing e-mails. I've tried quiting the program and restarting, nothing. What am I doing wrong? Very odd!
Thanks, j e f f

So, okay, I figured it out. I had add the signatures but not assigned them to the e-mail account I wanted. DUH! So, to anyone out there having this problem ... you can add signatures until the cows come home, but be sure to add them to the e-mail addy you want ... they aren't automatically added to your e-mail account (or all the others if you have more than one, etc.)

Is it possible to use Preview signatures in Mail?

I've been having a lot of fun with Preview's signature scanner, and was wondering if it's at all possible to make this kind of signature a default signature in Mail.

Adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account

Can someone please tell me how to add another e-mail address to my Mail account. I have tried using info from the Mail Help file, both "adding another account" and "adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account". Each time when I try to send a test message to or from the added e-mail address, I get the same message: "Cannot send message using the server mail.bellsouth.net. Use the Pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server". The only pop-up is smtp .Mac.
I have tried both methods shown in the HELP file and get the same message. I would really appreciate your help.

Are you trying to add a second email account to Mail, or just add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account?
If the former, we need to know some more detail, like:
(1) who is the existing account, .mac or bellsouth?
(2) Which are you trying to add, .mac or bellsouth?
(3) I assume your ISP is Bell South?
(4) What are the names of the smtp servers and what are their respective smtp server port numbers?
(5) Are either of them using SSL on the smtp server?
(6) I don't remember whether Tiger Mail has it or not, but in Leopard Mail, on the menu bar under "Window" there is a selection "Connection Doctor." If applicable to Tiger Mail, what does it say about your connections?
(7) Which account can you send mail through and which one can't you send mail through?
(8) Are your receiving mail okay through either or both accounts? Which one(s)?
Now if you are trying to add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > mail account > Email Address, just add a second email address separated by a comma like so:
[email protected], [email protected]
You could have an issue with bellsouth or .mac requiring the domain name in the apparently from email address to match the domain name of the smtp mail server.

I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

How can you put an Animated Signature in Mail...

Is it possible to add an animated signature to Mail.
I have read if you overwrite an existing signature residing in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder as a .webarchive file it will work.
I have an animation I have built in Photoshop and saved as an animated gif in the Save for Web command. I understand that you need to open this gif in Apple TextEdit and save as an .html file which I can only do if I convert to rich text. Then I need to open the html in Safari and save as a .webarchive which I have done but opening in Safari just gives me all the html code and saving as a webarchive doesn't change this to the animation.
Then you need to replace the name of the file with name of an existing "fake" signature from the Mail Signatures folder. Which I have done but when I've restarted Mail and tested it, I only get the code in my signature not the animation.
I can figure where I've gone wrong.
Can anyone help?

Ok, I explain:
Suppose you have a a family with the following members:
- Father
- Mother
and 5 children : a, b, c, d and e.
So should be able to create a group called "family" composed of FM+a+b+c+de
Suppose some of the children (let's say: abc) are member of a swimming club that has weekly different training sessions and some now and then participates to inter-club swimming competitions. So all the activities of swimming club are common for a, b and c and should appear in the agenda of each of them.
Suppose the father and the mother are following dance courses. The same remark is valid here; all the activities of the dance courses should appear in both the agenda's of the father and the mother.
Suppose the following persons are member of a tennis club (with training hours and also some now and then competition): Motherc+de. The same remark is still valid all the members of the family that are member of the tennis club should see the activities of the tennis club in their own agenda.
Suppose a number of family members are member of some big band let's say:
fathera+c+de.
And here is still always the same remark valid; all the members are supposed to be present at the repetition sessions of this big band and at its public performances.
To resume: we should be able to create for each of the different clubs a different group with the right members so that as you introduce a club activity you have to do this only once and this activity should then appear in the agenda of each of the club members.
On the other hand everything (all the persons and all their activities together) should also be visible in a global common agenda of the complete family and also in complete agenda of a selection of a number of family members.

How can I save a screenshot as a jpg? I want to create a signature using a jpg in Thnderbird as you can't have graphics as signatures using Mail

I am findinit difficult to rely on Mail so have used Thunderbird so that I can add screenshots and use different fonts in my email messages but iI now can't find a compatible programme to use to create jpgs from sreenshots which I used to be able to do with Irfanview and Photfiltre but i dont htink I can use these with a Mac. I have been told Xee is possible but will it do what I want and if so how?

Not sure what you mean by not being able to use graphics as part of your signature in Mail. I use them all the time.
Or are you referring to the recipients not being able to see the graphic when they receive the email?
You need to set Mail's Composing preferences to use Rich Text rather than plain text:

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my signatures for Mail are gone!

I go to Preferences and they are no longer listed there. Help!

If you have a pre-upgrade backup of your files, try restoring the following items in your home folder:

Adding Signatures in Acrobat 9

Hi,
In Acrobat 7, it was possible to open PDF, add signature. On adding signature, it used to NOT pop up a "Save As" box. One could simply save the file after adding signature.
On upgrading to Acrobat 9, after adding signature, it pops up a "Save As" box, to save the pdf file (can be saved with a different / same name) .
I have two questions regarding this.
1. What is the significance of this change in Acrobat 9?
2. Can some settings be changed to make it work like it use to in Acrobat 7?
Can somebody please help me with this.
Thank You

You should use the Save As (even back with AA7). The Save As removes any changes that you would expect to removed from the file. Save keeps all the changes, old and new, often bloating the file.

How to update signature in mail?

Hi,
I have recently moved house and tried to update my signature in mail. However when I update it and then go off it and back in it reverts back to my old signature. I have changed it in the past when I've had a new phone number etc. and it's always worked fine it's just recently it's started doing this.
Around 3 months ago I had a second SSD installed and now have all my opearting system running off that and my user folder on my existing HDD so I am not sure whether this may have anything to do with it????
Thanks for your help in anticipation.

Try to disable option to Automatically detect and maintain account settings:
Close Mail Preferences window and Save settings if you are prompt to do that. Then open Mail Preferences window again and check if this time you can change that pop address.

Signature in Mail

I have set up my signature in Mail Preferences. It works fine; whenever I start a new message, the signature is placed on the message. My question is this: is it possible to set up a signature that will appear when I "Reply" or "Reply All"? I can't find any way in Preferences, Signature to do that. As I'm sure most people do, I have to reply to many messages and would like the signature to appear on them as well as on my original new messages. Thanks in advance.

Mine does it fine.
Make sure you have it showing up "above quoted text" in signature preferences, otherwise it will show up under the quoted text. Also, if you are using more than one mail account, make sure each is using the appropriate signature.

Signature in Mail does not open and page gets frozen?

Signature in Mail doesn't open and whenever I try to open it, the page gets frozen disallowing any movement. Re-setting has been done several times but withou success. I have iPad 2 with iOS 7 (updated). I want to avoid Restoring the iPad as in this case I suspect all my data wiii get lost. Thanks for helping.

What signature in mail are you talking about? If you use the built in signatures in the settings, then I assume that you can't send mail at all if the page freezes every time that you try to write an email. When you tap the new email icon, and the window pop up, your signature is already at the bottom of the email screen.
So then you are saying that you cannot send emails correct? And you can restore an iPad without losing a thing, of you do it properly. I have restored several devices a few time and I never lost anything.

Multiple signatures in Mail

The instructions on how to create multiple signatures in Mail seems very straight forward. However, I can only get one signature to appear. I have created 2 signatures for two separate accounts. Yet Signature #1 always dominates and #2 never appears as a pulldown option when composing mail. Why isn't the #2 signature activating??

Signatures must be created for each account. If you create one sig in one account and a second in the other account, then each account has only one signature. You need to create the signatures you want independently in each account.

Signatures in Mail

I'm trying to set up my signature in Mail. Creating it is fine but I want to change it for replies and forwards, but there doesn't seem to be a differentiatior, either you use a signature or you don't. Is this correct?

Help seems to indicate this is possible using All Signatures:
