Automatic reply not working

I am trying to get the automatic reply function to work under rules. However the reply just does not seem to work. No message is sent. I have been trying to get the rules to automatically reply if it see's an email to a particular email address but this just does not happen. I have tried deleting the message rules plist and that has not helped either.
Any ideas ?

Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems, so let's look at this possibility.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn't be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
BTW, have you tried manually replying to those messages? When you do that, do you observe anything that could be relevant here?

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Automatic Downloads not working in ios7

After updating to ios 7 automatic downloads not working. It is enabled in settings but new content purchased in iTunes store on MacBook or iMac not automatically downloading onto iPhone. Any idea why? I have checked and "Automatic Downloads" is turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store...

I had the same problem with no automatic downloads of purchased Apps ...PLUS... I still recieved message "to use push notifications connect to itunes"
I found solution worked for me:
1- go to "Icloud keychain". (Under settings----> Icloud). go there and ENABLE it. It will ask for passcode and so on. so once enabled
2- restart your phone (normal power off)
3- reactivate imessage and facetime. (need a few minutes to reactivate)
4- ALL WORKING ;-)

Cannot reply to email - Reply not working

I have a new computer and I cannot figure out why the reply function in Mail does not work. I've tried clicking on the icon and apple-R, as well as the menu command, but none will work. Everything else seems to work okay. I can send and receive mail, just can't reply to any email.
Ideas?

If you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicated at first, you posted in the wrong forum. It would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. Actually, your profile doesn’t show now the version of Mac OS X you’re running, so please update the Computer Model and Operating System fields on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that this essential information automatically appears in all your posts.
The problem you’ve described is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Automatic Rotation Not Working On iPad 4th Gen iOS 8.1.2

So I recently got an iPad 4 and the automatic rotation is not working at all. I have done every troubleshooting possible including a restore of 8.1.1 and then upgrading to 8.1.2 hoping it would fix the problem and still nothing. Obviously rotation lock is off and I have tried toggling it back and forth through control panel and side switch along with doing multiple hard resets and it just won't automatically rotate at all.
I know my sensor isn't broken because if I change position with the device off and turn it back on it will display the correct orientation, but only if I turn the screen off. Games and other apps that use the gyroscope/accelerometer work fine, yet somehow my automatic rotation function is just broken.
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue? Since I know my sensor isn't broken I just don't understand why this is happening since it doesn't seem like a common problem after trying to find information on the topic.

Try reset iPad.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

My WiFi & Ethernet connection works but automatic is not working

The settings for my networking have gone kuh fluee (sp???) since I got up and running on my brand new MBP with 10.5.1 (and yes, I've installed all of the updates).
I have 3 locations set up (or I thought they were set up as they worked on my old PB):
WiFi
Ethernet
and then there's AUTOMATIC
Both my WiFi and Ethernet work fine. I want the Mac to understand that if Ethernet is connected, go and use Ethernet; if no Ethernet, then use the WiFi. I thought this would work when the location is switched to AUTOMATIC. AUTOMATIC simply just can't seem to connect. It continues to show all lights green except for the NETWORK light. I restart the modem and router over and over and the Networking thing just keeps telling me to do that again. Ok - what am I NOT getting here. Again, note that both ethernet and WiFi connection as separate locations work; what is NOT working is AUTOMATIC and I want that to work so that the Mac "automatically" detects what is out there for me to connect and if Ethernet, it connects via Ethernet.
Insight? Solutions? Advice???

The following is an excerpt from The Peachpit Learning Series for Leopard but I am sure it applies to Tiger and probably Panther as well. I have four computers at home, three with Leopard and one with Tiger. One Tiger machine is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my other desktop runs Leopard and also is connected via ether net. My two laptops are connected via Airport.
Open network preferences via System Preferences. You'll see the network window which should list your networks on the left had side of the page in the order of preferences what you might want to do and your individual computer is change that order of preferences to Ethernet first and Airport Second, that way if you are connected via ethernet it will connect that way. If you are not connected via ethernet it will look for the ethernet connection first and not seeing one, it will move on to Airport. You can change the order of preferences by clicking the activity button at the bottom of the window on the left that looks like a little cog wheel and then set service order.
I'm not 100 percent sure but by choosing automatic it either tells the system to do the above automatically when you open your browser or email to it means go to your wireless system of preference.
Hope this helps.

This.print(pp) with interactive type silent or automatic does not work after upgrade acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11

After an upgrade of acrobat reader 9 to acrobat reader 11 the automatic printing of a pdf. The pdf is opened, but the print does not happen. With acrobat reader 9 it works. But with acrobat reader 11 the printing does not happen.
I discovered when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.full it works on acrobat reader 11. But when you specify pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent or pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic it does not work on acrobat reader 11. But with the full option we have a dialog print box

Automatic payment not working. Why?

I recently changed my credit card information and it looks like the automatic payment is set up. When I go to my skype number information it shows the updated credit card number. However, I received a notice that my number was being shut down for non-payment. What are the exact steps needed to ensure that automatic payment is working the way it used to work?

Hi, Lakdiva, and welcome to the Community,
Please try this: when your Skype Number subscription actually expires, sign on to your account dashboard and see if a Reactivate button is waiting for you. Otherwise, your Skype Number may renew by debiting your credit balance, as it did for me, after I added enough credit to cover the cost of renewal.
If not, please contact Skype Customer Service for assistance sorting this!

Automatic Syndication not working

Hi All,
I created a repository in sandbox server.(MDM Ver 7.1 SP06 ).Later it was updated back to SP05.I designed the table,ports ,and Remote system ... I gave the processing type for the Syndication to be Automatic and continuous time interval.Autosyndication was not working.Later restarted the MDSS server for sandbox and autosyndication was working fine.
Now i moved the repositort form Sandbox to development server( V7.1 SP05 ).Nothing changed but still syndication is not happening.If i open the syndicator ,use the same map and try to syndicate it is happening manually but not automatically.
I am not able to solve this.Please help me regarding this.Is this something to do with restarting of MDSS server for developement also.I checked with other team for autosuyndication and it is working fine.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin

Nitin -
Check your Syndicator server if running, MDSS.
Check in mdss.ini file next parameters:
GLOBAL
Auto Syndication Task Enabled=True
Auto Syndication Task Delay (seconds)=10
Also looking in the Syndicatior and see if records are greyed out or not, if they are greyed out then records are not selected for syndication
Try Restart server
I will recommand you to see below link as well
Re: Automatic Syndication
Hope this helps.

Unity 7 Backup Subscriber Server - Live Reply not working

Hi we have two Unity 7 servers, one Primary and 2nd Backup Subscriber Server.
Live Reply is not working when the Unity Primary Server fall onto the Backup Server.
Do anyone have an idea or an solution form me?
On both Servers:
Unity Version: 7.0(2.0)
Patch installed: CU7.0(2)_ES34
Exchange 2007
Many Thank,
Nico

Hello,
I am looking at the guide for this and found the following:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/networking/guide/ex/5xcunet030e.html#wp1050502
Enabling Cross-Server Live Reply and Entering the Pilot Numbers of Destination Cisco Unity Servers
Do the following procedure on each Cisco Unity server in the dialing domain. If the system is using failover, do the following procedure on both the primary and secondary server, because most of the settings on the Network > Dialing Domain Options page are stored in the registry. (Registry settings are not replicated to the secondary server.)
To Enable Cross-Server Live Reply and to Enter the Pilot Numbers of Destination Cisco Unity Servers
You might just verify this has been done on the Secondary also.
Thanks,

All Automate features not working in Photoshop

I first noticed the problem when I tried to "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom 3.0. The photo would never launch in photoshop when I selected this feature. Then I tried exporting photos from Lightroom onto my desktop and opening them in photoshop (which worked), but then when i tried to create a panorama through the Automate feature or do the HDR option, nothing would happen. No error message, no swirling beach ball of death, just nothing.
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop (CS5) and updated it multiple times, still not working. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

That sounds like Lightroom has lost track of Photoshop.
Please ask in the Lightroom forum how to get Lightroom working again.
As for the automate features: are you missing any plugins, like Scripting Support?

Automatic startup not working

Hi !
I have a problem I never encountered before. At a customers site
they have installed an Oracle8i (8.1.7) on a W2K/SP2 server
machine. The services startup automatically, but the instance
ist not started. Maybe they messed something up during install.
On my laptop I have nearly the same configuration, but a soon as
I start the services using net start, the database is also
mounted and online and I'm able to connect.
Any tips for me ?
TIA,
Stefan.

I've seen that a lot, after a time (days or weeks) the auto
start stops working.
I have never explained it and Oracle plain refuses to believe
the problem exists. They say I have messed up the install and
suggest a re-install.
This is a real issue but I do not know what causes it. The only
solution I have found is a re-install. The official way to autostart the db is the registry key
'AUTOMATIC...)=true.
But as you know windows does not work always as designed, I
think that Oracle is not able to locate the problem why some
installations work not correctly.

Mac mail - can't type message and reply not working.

mac mail working fine until today. Tried to set up a new message. Added address okay, put in subject okay but when I came to type text into main panel I get about three letters typed and the curser vanishes and I get an alert sound. And that's the way it stays.
Tried reboots and all the usual tricks.
Also trying to reply to an email does not work
Everything else appears alright. Incoming mail is okay.
Can anybody help me out here? Desparately need to be back online.

Reply Not Working In Mail

Mail App on my Powerbook G4 will not reply or reply all. I've tried:
Clicking the button
Double clicking the message and clicking the button in that window
Using the menu item.
The shortcut key.
None work. Running mail version 3.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.5
I'm about to head off for 2 months where I'll only have my laptop so be pleased to get this fixed !

try resetting your mail preferences. do you have a backup from before this started? if you do, quit mail and restore the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the backup. start Mail and see if it works. if you don't have a backup, move the above file to the desktop and start Mail. you'll have to set up all your accounts from scratch. once you do they should recognize their existing mailboxes.
see if the reply button works after that.
