Apple Mail app: how can I revert to the default layout after I changed it to the classic layout?

It's Mac OS X Mavericks. I've changed my Apple Mail app viewing style to "classic layout" in viewing/mail preference, and now I want to return back to the default layout. How can I do this?

Sorry,  you didn't mention that you had. In any case, I don't have any further suggestions as it worked as it should when I tested it.

  • Apple Mail (7.3, OSX Mavericks) reverts back to default settings after close.  How to fix this?

    For example, if I choose Mail->Preferences->Viewing->Use classic layout, it reverts just fine when the program is open.  However, when I quit out of the program and then reopen it, Apple Mail reverts back to its default styling.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • How can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before

    how can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before.

    I assume this is Microsoft Word, and you want the first six pages to have no footer, subsequent pages to have a footer showing the page number.
    1. Insert a section break after the first six pages.
    2. Insert page numbers. This will add a footer with page numbers to both sections.
    3. Unlink the section 2 footer from the section 1 footer. [Click in the footer area, uncheck Link to Previous in the Header and Footer toolbar.]
    4. Delete the page number from the section 1 footer.
    Your document will now show page numbering on all pages starting with section 2.

  • I am trying to install an app.  When I click install, my old gmail account  shows and asks for my password etc but I have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple id.  How can I get it to default to the new gmail?

    I am trying to install an app in my iphone.  When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc.  I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account.  How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • Mail.app - How can I Delete & Reinstall It

    I'm having a Mail.app problem. I backed up the whole Archive (Saved it to USB Drive) and wants to delete the whole thing and remove it from my system then re-install it.
    How can I do it ?
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.8 latest version - iMac Machine.

    System Preferences - Language & Text - Formats - Customize  allows custom date/time formats which can include the day of the year...
    If say, one of the date formats was altered to include that - Mail might  show it, while say Finder & other apps use a different, longer/shorter format, without the added day of the year. choosing a different region, or inspecting the 'custom' region, should indicate if that's the case here.

  • HOW can I make a .SWF default load after its first load?

    When you have the SAME parent API on every page of an (X)HTML website, can a .SWF tell itself to load from a default position when a website user navigates to different HTML pages?
    Here's my parent API as it stands:
    http://www.playingthepoet.com/
    HOW can you tell the .SWF to load from a default position once the .SWF has loaded a first time? AND from any page of the website, not just the Home page? This is an advanced .SWF networking issue. And I'm not sure if the best solution is a Javascript of if there's a direct AS3 programming solution.
    The blurs and fade-ins are a bunch of timer variables and timer event methods timer event listeners. I want that intro ONLY ONCE. And NOT every time a user changes HTML pages. Please help, and MANY thanks for your time!!

    Hi ,
    You can set a variable say "count" on stage composition ready -
    sym.setVariable("count" , 0);
    On stage click , you keep checking the value of this variable -
    if(sym.getVariable("count") == 5)
      sym.$("Symbol_2").show();
    //Here "Symbol_2" is the next button that you want to appear on screen(which is initially invisible) when the symbol_1 is clicked say 5 times.
    Now, on click of a button , you keep updating the variable count -
    var countnew = sym.getVariable("count");
    countnew = countnew+1;
    sym.setVariable("count" , countnew);
    Attaching the sample for reference.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How can I revert back to iOS 5 after upgrading to ios6

    Can I Uninstall ios6 and reinstall ios5

    While I see no reason this discussion should be prohibited as the previous poster indicated, I will retract the link I provided earlier. Although it does not involve jailbreaking, further investigation suggests the method given there won't work.
    Unless anyone's come up with a better idea, looks like you might have to wait till they sort out the problems with youtube, maps and so on - or buy an Nexus 7...

  • How can you revert back to 9.2?

    10 is running. And I don't trust it. I went against my stated policy of updating the day after, and that's another story.
    how can I revert to 9.2? And I don't want the 'newer version is on your PC' deal, either. I found a site where 9.2 is available.

    I installed iTunes 10 and it killed MS Outlook 2000, so, long story short, I "Restored" Windows to day before I installed iTunes 10, then used "Repair" function to reinstall iTunes 9.2. Now, when I try to open iTunes, it tells me library is in a more recent version of iTunes. I found the Previous iTunes library files, and there's one there that must've been made during conversion - so it's looking good so far. But then I searched C drive, and there is no file named iTunes Library.itl. Do I still just save the most recent "previous" file in the iTunes folder, changing the name to "iTunes Library.itl", or should I be concerned that there's not already a file in there with that name?

  • How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    The easiest method would be to restore them from the last Time Machine backup made just prior to the update. 
    Or use a file recovery application to recovery them.  Most have a demo mode so you can determine if it can find the files you need before purchasing it.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "recover files" to get a list of potential candidates.

  • I have two cell phone, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

    Have two cell phones, different numbers.  Each has their own apple id.  How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other.  But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone?  Thanks.

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?

    Hello all,
    How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
    When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
    I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
    When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
    I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
    Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
    The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
    This is driving me bananas!
    Thank you for any help you can provide!
    ~ Angela

    If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
