Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail.  I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere.  Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not.  Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
All files are primarily 3-4MB.
Thanks,
Melissa

The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.

  • HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

    Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
    A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8  One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility.  The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason.  Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    UPDATE:
    I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
    However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

  • Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

    Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
    Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

    The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.

  • Is there a way to track/follow network activity?

    I have an Airport Extreme network set up at home. It's fairly old but still works well.
    I've given the access code to a few of my neighbors but they both claim to only use it sparingly. Lately, It seems like there's been a lot of activity on the network according to the WAN and LAN lights on my DSL modem.
    Is there a way to track who is connected? And what they're doing, at least in terms of download/bandwith activity? Do I need another app to tell me this stuff? Any input would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I'm sure you are sincere, but please understand that your decision to furnish other neighbors with access to your network is no doubt, a violation of your agreement with your ISP.
    Sorry, but forum members are not allowed to furnish information in this type of circumstance.

    That sounds like it will work. I'll try adding a client count
    increment/decrement in the DLL initialize and terminate functions. This
    should essentially perform the same tasks as the callback scheme you mention
    above, no?
    The reason I didn't think the 'client counting' scheme would work initially
    was I mistakenly thought that the termination function would not get called
    under Terminate conditions. Since Terminate conditions happen a LOT during
    our initial debug of new UUT types, I didn't think that would be acceptable.
    I forgot that lacing the terminate funciton in a cleanup step group, I can
    force it to be called in Terminate conditions.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • Is there a way to track modifications within a specific field on a contact record?

    Is there any way to track and report on modifications that have been made to a specific contact field? We have an API synch set up with an external database. It currently writes to Eloqua when a customer initiates a change to their information in the external database. The field actually shows what they've changed on the external record. Since we're sending campaigns that encourage people to make these updates, I'd like to be able to run a report to show how effective our campaigns are, but since I don't have a snapshot of what was in the field before the campaign, I don't know how many people have actually made changes. Basically, I'm looking for a report that will show me "X" number of records were updated as a result of "XY" campaign.

    I had hoped Mr Number would keep up to date, but White Pages says they have no plans to further the app.  I asked them why they had 2 apps at this point.  They said it was because some people preferred the user interface of each one or the other.  I know that MN can import from contacts to the block list, WP does not.  Neither incorporate G+, only LinkedIn, Twitter, and FB.  Most all ID apps have done the same thing for me, especially with a social media account linked.  The only time I've had to do a look up is if it is just not found and I know I don't know who it could possibly be, or if it happens more than once.  Mobile numbers are weird though:  WP has found a couple automatically, MN would find it if I looked it up, but at other times, MN couldn't find a name to go with a mobile number.

  • [SOLVED] Is there a way to see all of your downloaded apps?

    Like the title says.. i've been wondering if there is any way to see how many apps you've downloaded, when you've downloaded them, and what you downloaded?
    Cause the thing is.. i've been searching for an app i'm willing to purchase for a while now but I forgot the name. I once played it and well it was something like this; You become a ghost with the powers to go back into time and changing someone's future. Your goal was to protect a girl, as someone was trying to shoot her. You while being a ghost could move through several items and change her future.
    But I forgot the name of the app, so yeh..
    Is there any way to check the apps you downloaded? Like from the beginning when you've bought your iPhone till now?

    In the App store on your iPhone, tap the updates tab, then tap on purchased to see a list of all your purchased content.

  • Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM

    Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM (application network manager)?  We have a few servers running the ANM application.  Each ANM server points to/manages ACE blades (in the datacenter where the server resides).  I would like to understand how much the ANM gui is used for each of the servers.  I have looked through the GUI for some sort of report but wasn't able to find one.  Cisco ACS has the "Adminstration Audit" report which shows all admin activity of the application per admin user (per ACS server).  Is there an equivalent report for ANM?
    In addtion I would like to know how much of the ACE config activity is spawned via CLI versus the ANM gui.
    thanks in advance,

    Hi again,
    1. In that case we cannot do much.
    2. However,
       we can use
       the exit
       SEUED001
      (fm is EXIT_SAPLS38E_001)
      to restrict the program
      in edit mode,display mode
      etc etc.
      depending upon the PROGRAM NAME.
    I hope that serves your purpose.
