  • How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

    I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
    The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
    Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

    Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
    It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.
    Why isn't it in the addons.mozilla.org ? Looks dangerous ...

  • IPhoto Folder Names Different Than Event Names?

    Hello!  I have used iPhoto since 2007, before Time Machine, and I back up all of my events as I upload them onto a zip drive.  In the past, before Yosemite, when I would go into the iPhoto package contents, I would select the year (2014), and I could easily find the name of the event I just uploaded.  I would then drag it to my zip drive.
    Since the Yosemite upgrade, the iPhoto package content folders do not match my event names in iPhoto.  Why is this?  How can I make it so that the originals within the iPhoto package content folder again matches that of my iPhoto events?  In the past, when I have made any changes within Finder, I have regretted it, so I don't think that is the solution.  Just wondering why the event names and the folder names are not matching up any more, and if there is an easy fix to this.
    Thank you in advance!!!

    What you were doing was not supported and it changed about 6 years ago.
    The supported way to do what you want is simply to export the originals from iPhoto to folders named for the Event. Takes the same time.
    File -> Export and set the Kind to Original.

    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • Ftp images have file names different than camera

    Using FTPonTheGoPRO pictures are uploaded with image file names that are not in the order the pics were taken - is there a way to re-name the images before they get uploaded?

    One more thing....Its not so much that ShutterSnitch is buggy but that it wasn't developed for what I'm trying to do.

  • Changing Administrator name (different than question below)

    I adopted my friend's iMac, and I'd like to change the Administrator name. I went to Accounts, and put in the password, but wasn't sure if I should just change it there, where it says Name, or not. I don't want to cause any serious problems that will log me out or something, so I thought I'd ask first.
    Thanks

    Michael answers your question. But I recommend wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all applications from the original install discs. With a used Mac there's no way of knowing what haxies, security holes, or other junk you don't know about might have been left on it by a previous owner. Even a friend you trust could have inadvertently opened up security holes that neither of you are aware of. Wiping and reinstalling is just good security practice and it will also allow you to set what ever admin and other user account names and passwords you want.

  • Why does Apple Mail preview pane display only sender's first name?

    Some, but not all, of the mail I receive shows only the sender's first name in the preview pane. I've checked the three areas others have mentioned as possible sources of the problem: 1.) Both first and last names appear for these senders in my Contacts. 2.) None of these senders appear with only first names in my Previous Recipients list. 3.) The full headers don't show first name only.
    When I used Entourage, emails from the same senders never showed only first names in the preview pane.
    Is this a bug in Apple Mail? Is there a workaround?

    I came here looking for a similar answer. Some of my HTML messages show up just fine in Mail 3.5. Others, I get the plane text alternative or a bunch of raw HTML. With no answer in sight on the Discussion groups, I decided to look at the raw mail message of one of the offending emails.
    Under the View menu I found a sub menu called Message then there are 6 choices beneath that:
    *Long Headers*
    *Raw Source* (which is what I was looking for)
    +(and then below a separator I found a surprise!)+
    *Plain Text Alternative* (grayed out)
    *Previous Alternative* (grayed out)
    *Next Alternative* (available)
    *Best Alternative* (available)
    Only the appropriate ones for the current message display format are available.
    So low and behold selecting "next" or "best" changed my message into fully readable HTML format with pictures, formatting, etc.
    I am assuming that something in the way that the multipart MIME message is assembled by some senders' systems does not sit well with Mail. I'm not going to bother figuring it out, but I'm sure that close examination of the raw message would give some clues.
    Now if only I could figure out how to choose the message format based on the sender, I could eliminate having to change every message that comes in from that sender. Maybe AppleScript and a Mail Rule?

  • Apple Mail - Email Send Field Showing Different Data, Unable To Sort Correctly

    Hi All,
    I'm having a very annoying issue in Apple Mail, running 10.6. Some of the incoming mail messages are showing the sender's email address in the "From" field, rather than the person's "Name". There are also cases where this is happening, but this time the email address in the From field has angle brackets ( <  and > ) around it. This makes sorting of emails by sender incorrect and broken apart.
    So the three different ways it's displaying in the Mail window are:
    From
    Subject
    John Smith
    Lunch Today
    [email protected]
    Lunch Today
    <[email protected]> <[email protected]>
    Lunch Today
    Here's what else I know:
    - The error is NOT limited to a specific person, email address or mail domain. In other words, it has occurred differently with the same sender.
    - The errors seem to occur in periods of time. In other words, it will display "correct" for a period of time (weeks or even months), then display "wrong" for a period of time. So it's not like every other message is different.
    We contacted our ISP to see if they knew anything. They scratched their heads like we did, and they think that the issue is coming from the sender, rather than the mail server having a hiccup.
    This is VERY frustrating, as I get lots of email in a day's time that can be time-sensitive.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

  • Apple mail sender's name

    Hi there,
    I was wondering whether you could help me. Actually, it's not a big problem, but it really bugs me. The thing is, whenever I send an email to myself or receive an email from an Apple related email address, using Apple Mail, I see a different name (actually, not even a name - some random words) in the "To:" line instead of my name or my email address. I am quite sure it is a problem with Apple, because I am using Gmail account and there is no problem whenever I check directly from the gmail.com website. I cannot find how could I change those settings. Any ideas?

    Try this.

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • How to use Apple Mail to send outgoing emails only?

    Hello,
    I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for elsewhere on the interwebs.
    I want to be able to set up the Apple Mail app on my Mac to send outgoing emails only from my Gmail account. I use the Gmail website and my iPhone for sending/receiving emails and I don't want or have a need for all of my Gmail emails to be downloaded into the Apple Mail app or for new emails to appear in the Mail app as they come in.
    I just want to be able to send outgoing emails from the app so that I can send photos directly from iPhoto using the Email button. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Great news, thanks!

  • Apple mail sent with one account but sends with a different account

    I have 5 email accounts in Apple mail.  I have what I call my main one and many times when I take care to send FROM that one, it will land in the recipient's mailbox sent by a different account.  I have tested it different ways even going so far as BCC myself, checking to make sure it is sent out with correct one and it still ends up sending it with the secondary/wrong account.  Any ideas?  I cannot delete the secondary account as I sometimes need to use it for work.  thank you in advance. 

    I have mine set to 993... but I did not set it... all i did was set up gmail, and it worked automaticlly. That might have been the port number in Lion... i dont know.

  • I am using apple mail on my Mac and have two different accounts set up, one personal and one business. when i send mail a copy of the message is being saved into my business account swell.

    Both accounts are Imap but the business one is Gmail and the persoanl one is 1and1. when i compose new mail in my personal account I make sure it says its going from my 1and1 account but for some reason the message appears in both sent boxes.
    I need to fix this as I dont want other people using the business account seeing my personal sent emails!
    This has only just started in last couple of days when I did something on accounts but cant think what that would have been.
    hope someone can help.

    I'd like to have one Apple Mail application for my one very important email account while the rest can stay on a different Apple Mail app.
    Consider using Thunderbird for the "rest."
