Another bug in the email software...

Check out my post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1896972#1896972
You will see a bunch of extra plus signs (before "appliedFont"). Those plus signs were not there in the email which I sent. Here's the original text copied from my sent mail (into the web interface).
You really shouldn't upload fonts for general download...
Your problem is that you are missing a lot of extra equal signs.
For example:
if (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[i].appliedFont = "Rotis Semi Sans\t45 Light")
should be:
if (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[i].appliedFont == "Rotis Semi Sans\t45 Light")
Also, I'm not sure that you are always going to get a string. It might be a font object. If that's the case you are going to need:
if (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[i].appliedFont == app.fonts.item("Rotis Semi Sans\t45 Light")
(Or something like that...)
BTW,
It'll be much quicker if you get a reference to your doc and font and work from there:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var font = doc.paragraphStyles[i].appliedFont;
Any ideas where they could have come from?

I guess the forum software interprets a bracketed i as a symbol to start italic -- and converts it to a plus sign. This is a very bad assumption -- especially on a scripting forum!
Uh oh. That was a MAJOR problem over in the old FuseTalk Director forums (almost entirely about scripting). [ i ] without spaces was the FuseTalk way of saying italic, but it did not translate at all to or from the newsgroups. And that was only one of the problems with code in those groups.
In at least one of my emails, I was happy to notice that a forum-posted bold chunk was surrounded by old-school asterisks: *bold*. That really got my hopes up for seeing old-school *bold*, _underline_, and /italics/ indicators, but now I'm worried. I had checked all this stuff on the preview forums, but had NOT checked the emails back then.
[From your subsequent post]
Now for the obvious follow-up question:
How does one wrap text in a code block via email?
Would love to know this myself. Although, if the forum is going to munge code with italics & other stuff, I won't care at all.

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software.

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software. I purchased a new external drive with 3 TB and wonder if I will run into a problem installing it. I don't know how to transfer my files from the previous HD to the New one. I was told to use a cable, but how do I do it? Do I connect them both to the computer and drag the old into the new? How is it done? Why did this happen, the overloading of the Time Machine?

Why has the TimeMachine drive run out of space?
With the limited amount of information you've provided it is hard to answer this question. TimeMachine should continue making backups until the drive is full and then it should erase the oldest backup(s) to retrieve enough space for the next backup. Unless your computer's hard drive has close to 1TB of space on it, you shouldn't see a message saying TM cannot backup because it is full. However if you do have more than 500GB (1/2 a TB) then I can see how that message might occur. Also, if you are using the TM drive for double duty (backing up more than one computer or storing data other than TM) you could get that message.
Will you have this problem with a 3TB drive?
I always recommend that people look at how much they'll be backing up in total, add a bit extra for the future, and then multiply that by at least 1.5 and even better to double it. That indicates how large the TM backup drive should be. The TM drive should only be used for TM backups. It is ok to use one drive to back up more than one computer but if doing so, add up the contents of all the computer drives, adjust for the future and then double it.
Moving Forward
Disconnect the old TM drive for now. Connect the new drive and let TM do its job. I don't recommend that you try to transfer the TM backup from the old drive to the new one. Keep the old drive around for a couple months just in case you find you need it and then after a few months, if you like, you can erase it and use it for something else.

Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?

FAO Mods: Bug in the Billing software?

Does DannyH's distress suggest to you that there is a serious bug in the billing software? How many other BB customers are receiving such bills I wonder.
Can you report this to the appropriate division please? And let us know what the response is please?

I hope that Kerry, whom I spotted logged-in earlier, is, as I type this post, reporting this apparent bug in the software, and investigating the matter.
Even if it is just one customer, this must be addressed with great urgency mustn't it? How many other customers are getting such bills, customers who are living hand-to-mouth, struggling with monthly budgets, and in danger of a visit by the BT bailiffs because of BT incompetence? We all know BT's poor track record in respect of sorting out issues such as this. I'm a victim myself.

When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading. While before it was working fine.

After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading. While before it was working fine.
How to fix this?

There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

I have a jpeg signature for a signature in Mail account. When I attach another file to the email and se nd it to a Windows -operated recipient, my signature becomes an attachment as well and only the body of the email message is left.

I have a jpeg I have added for a profeesional look to my signature in my Mail acount. When I attach other files to the message and send the message to a Widows-user recipient, the signature is no no seen as a signature and simply becomes an attachment with the email.
What can I do to stop this happening. Thanks

File menu "Attach Files..." then Tick off "Windows-friendly Attachment".

HT204380 If I make a FaceTime call from a iphone 4s or 4 to another one using the email, does it gets registered as a call in the monthly bill?

I just want to know if the call gets registered on the bill when making a FaceTime call from iphone to iphone using the email.

No, it doesn't get registered as a call as it functions simply as data through Wi-Fi

Ugly bug in the email app in iOS8! Fix it quickly!

The new feature of sliding or swiping email messages to flag/delete/archive is horribly broken.
When I slide a message to the left, several colored "buttons" (or how you name then) show up - but they wont stop and wait me to touch them!
Instead, the rightmost button fills the whole tile and then its action immediately executes (in my case it was DELETE. Oops. No undo!).
More to this, the swipe settings in Mail/calendar... setup do not mention these "buttons", neither let me disable the automatic action or choose the buttons.
I really, really hate this behavior. Even if some people like this, I beg at least to make this behavior optional (and I will opt out!).
The colored buttons MUST stop after sliding out, and do not do anything automatically until pressed.
And there better should be UNDO, like in gmail.
-- dd

If you just do a quick swipe as opposed to a slide/drag then you will get equal sized More Flag and Delete buttons :

Bug after the latest software update...

I downloaded the new update (1.3 if I'm right) 2 days ago, well it fixed a few things, but tbh since I installed it I cannot view my pictures in full screen, cause when I select one only a black screen comes in and nothing else! It doesn't freeze down it just doesn't show anything. Is this the problem of the software update or maybe I did something wrong? Has anybody else experienced this too? Help me out please!

I'm in the same situation and haven't been able to find any info either. I hadn't connected the fact that I did an update with it to be honest. I can see the thumbnails and if I use the jog wheel as if scrolling and then go back to the menu it looks like its been flicking though the pics but the screen remains black.

Another bug in the WRT400N

If the DMZ is set to a destination MAC address instead of an IP address, all internet access for other MAC addresses on the LAN is cut off. That's not the way it's supposed to work.

What happens when you select the Destination IP address instead of MAC address?
You can assign a static IP address to that computer and enable the DMZ for that static IP address.
The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.

I am unable to verify my account (via email) to use iCloud storage, can't get Apple to send the email

Why won't Apple send me an email so I can verify my account to use iCloud storage?

I am sorry to hear that you are unable to verify your Firefox account. Here are some possible solutions:
*AOL has been known to block a lot of emails and items in them. Try verifying your account with another email provider.
*Try copying the link to verify your account and pasting it into another tab.
*See if it works in a different browser. It may be a bug in the email.
*If these do not work, could you send us a screenshot of what is happening? See the link below.

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:
