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.

  • HT3702 My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    Because they are the terms of use of the stores - terms from the US store :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    And similar terms apply to all other country's iTunes stores. Part of the reason is licensing (Apple can only sell content where the providers have granted them licenses to sell it), amd part might be due country's laws (some country's have restrictions as to what can be sold within their country). If there is content that you want that is not currently in the Jordanian store then you can try requesting that it be added (but the content providers might not let Apple sell it there) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • New Intelimac, any reason why SLEEP and WAKE habits would change?

    So, had this imac CD for about two weeks now, nice. Had a bit of a FAN problem upfront, but that seems to have settled, or at least I have.
    Now, I have the mac set to dim screen after about five minutes, although the brightness changes after about 1 minute of no activity. After 12 minutes it is suppossed to SLEEP which I can only imagine it does. The little light on the bottom right blinks on and off.
    But, a week ago, I would just come in and hit the ESC key and the mac would like up. Now, I hit the ESC key and nothing happens, I have to click the mouse or something.
    Secondly, when it wakes up I USED to hear a FAN whirring, but now that doesn't happen. And, NOW when it wakes up, the screen comes to life and the mac WAKES up but then the SCREEN goes dark and THEN it comes to life again.
    This pattern is unusual and new, nothing really has been done other than adding Office and a couple of songs to my library?
    Any thoughts was setting might have gotten out of MAC!

    I've noticed some of the same behavior, as well. If my iMac sleeps on its own, when I wake it, the screen flashes briefly, goes dark briefly, then the log in screen appears. If I put it to sleep manually, when I wake it, the log in screen appears (no flashing).
    I have also noticed, that on occasion, when the computer should be asleep (I have it set to sleep after one hour of inactivity), the screen is dark and the sleep light flashing, but the login in screen appears immediately when I move the mouse of touch a key on the keyboard, as though the iMac had not been asleep.
    Other than the above, all else appears to be functioning normall. Thus far, my inclination is to attribute this behavior to the switch in processors.

  • My iPad is muted and I don't have any "sound effect" volume and my iPad is completely muted. Why?

    Not sure what to do.. I tried going to the general settings tab and changed my lock setting to mute so I can control the volume from the side switch and still there are no volume bars appear when I try to change the volume. What am I missing? And what does "sound effect" mean?

    Let's go back to basic.
    1. Settings>General>Use Side-Switch To>Lock Rotation
    2. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right.
    3. Make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted

  • Two issues: photo sig and rules box

    Hi,
    Just purchased a MacBook, set up my e-mail accounts, started sending some messages and realized, to my horror, that the photo taken of me during setup is showing up in the header of all my outgoing e-mails. How do I get rid of this function?
    I'm guessing by going to Preferences and changing some setting in Signatures. But when I go to Preferences, all I get is the Rules dialogue box. Tried several times, even quit the program and restarted, but still get the Rules box only when I click on Preferences.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!!

    When you go into Mail's preferences, you should have several icons along the top of that window: General, Accounts, Junk Mail, Fonts & Colors, Viewing, Composing, Signatures, and Rules. If you have installed any third-party Mail plug-in bundles, like GPG-Mail, you may have additional icons visible there as well. Click on one of those icons, and a different configuration panel appears in the preferences window. Are you saying all you have is a "Rules" icon being displayed along the top of Mail's preferences' window? Or no icon displayed at all? Coz' if that's the case, something ain't right.

  • Is any reason to define FQDN name different as Net-bios name?

    hello friends
    i create an active directory on windows server some days ago, one friend told me FQDN name should be different as Net bios name,
    he told me for some authentication services (for example for authentication in a hardware firewall) this names should be diffrent
    is any reason for that and is it true?
    tanks

    Richard Mueller:
    my question is if ma FQDN is Contoso.com , may i use a diffrenent NetBios name as
    Contoso?
    for example ma NetBios be  cont
    That's fine. I worked at a place where the DNS FQDN domain name was company.com, but the NetBIOS name was WestChester (for the office city location). So yes, you can choose a completely different name that has nothing to do with or even resembles the FQDN
    name. The only issue is it may cause confusion.
    I would preferably make it similar, such as Contoso.com and CONTOSO. It's just a preference, that's it.
    Just to be crystal clear:
    There are absolutely NO technical reasons to make it the same or different. 
    There may be a business reason to make it different, such as my previous employer's choice and example I provided above, but there are no technical reasons to make it the same or different.

  • Filters and rules for Data Synchronizer

    Unfortunately or luckily our datasync server is positioned in the internal
    network. The main reason is the archiving solution for groupwise mail which
    uses a special connector on the datasync server to capture all email for
    specific mailboxes. So the entire mailflow can remain in our internal
    network and is not transferd out in the DMZ.
    But for few devices (like iPhone, iPad or smartphones with Android) with active
    sync protocol I want to sync the groupwise email, appointment and contacts
    to that devices.
    My problem, however is that the mobile devices want to use a secure connection on port 443 to get over 2 Bordermanager 3.9 SP2 servers.
    I did́ t find any examples on filters and rules in the documentation to
    do this.
    My idea is to use a nated public ip adress on the outer BM-server and
    acceleration on the inner BM-server.
    Maybe I am wrong and there are or is a better solutions.
    It would be great, if there is anyone who can help me with this problem
    Best regards

  • Need some advice about Mail Preferences and Rules

    Several months ago, I created a rule in Mail 2.1.3 for my mailboxes that would filter out some of the SPAM that I get on my laptop. I indicated that I only wanted to receive messages from people in my address book.
    As it turns out that was not a great decision, and now I'm missing mail from people that comes right through on our "family" PC running Outlook. I tried to change that rule, but I didn't remember how I had done it. I searched help and found the instruction: Click Mail, Click Preferences, Click Rules.
    However, when I get into Preferences, I don't see Rules anywhere. I only have ACCOUNTS, MAILBOX BEHAVIORS, and ADVANCED. I don't see rules on any of those tabs. Clearly, I had the power before. Can someone please (pretty please) tell me what I'm missing now?
    I would greatly appreciate any advice that you can give.
    Thanks!

    You must have inadvertently clicked on the small gray oval in the upper right-hand corner of the Preferences window sometime in the recent past. Doing so toggles between showing/hiding icons for General, Accounts, ..., Signatures, and Rules.

  • Play count question.   I have about 500 songs in my library that I know have played at least once...probably just once.  Although there is a "last played" date listed there is no number in the play count column.   Any reason for this?  thx

    I have about 500 songs in my library that have played one time.   Although a "last date played" date is noted, there is no number in the play count column.  This only happens some times.   Any reason for this, and can it be corrected?  thx

    Thanks, but the play count is not incrementing only on the very first play.  All subsequent plays are fine.  Meaning the play counts for these particular tracks are always one play short.  I double-checked some of the tracks in question and I have not shortened, or stopped them early.

  • HT1386 i can't sync some selected movies i bought in iTunes store. any reason for this please/

    I can't sync some selected movies i bought in iTunes store. Any reason for this and help please?

    I assume they are,  but I am not completely certain.  I purchased the songs from iTunes, so I would be surprised if they are in a format that is not playable by the Touch. 
    How do I check whether the format is playable?
    Thanks,
