Bold and Italic Not Working in Mac Mail

I was looking for answers about why my upgrade from SnowLeopard to MountainLion caused my Mac Mail to stop having the ability to change type to bold or italic with shortcuts (i.e.Command + B, Command+i). I didn't find anything helpful, so I thought I'd share my workaround.
I opened FontBook and removed any duplicate fonts and then restarted Mac Mail. Immediately my shortcuts started working.
Hope this helps someone else!

Go to mail> preferences > fots and colours > try change to a different font such as arial. Your issue will probably be fixed

IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code. It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30. When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19. I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem. I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working. Works fine on my iPhone.

There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

Exchange Server not working with Mac mail

Any tips on how exchange can work work with mac mail? I get connection errors.

Hello Phil.
Copied from Mail Help.
An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
Is the Exchange Server configured for IMAP access?

Email Reconcile not working with mac mail and tiscali.

hi, I have had problems with emails not deleteing on either email accounts. I have had the local Carphone staff look at it, who have gone through the phone and applied the fixes you have suggested on your tech pages.
Please advise as this is becoming really frustrating deleting emails twice on laptop then on the phone!
Regards
j

Hi and Welcome to the (user-to-user) Community!
Please refer to this:
KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
All reconciliation is between your BB and your email server, as governed by that KB (coupled with being configured correctly). I don't know where "mac mail and tiscali" fit into that, but that KB governs what should or should not work.
On the other hand, if the issue is another email client (on your laptop, for instance), then that's governed by whatever the capabilities are between your laptop email client and your email server. Many cannot handle full reconciliation with the server, but you would have to contact whoever provided the email client to know for sure. There is zero reconciliation directly between your BB and your other email client.
Hope that helps! Good luck and let us know!

Aol mail not working in Mac Mail

I have had this problem several times and it's getting rather irritating. The SMTP servers are not responding. The following message keeps coming up:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
After changing ports and following the numerous suggestions experienced by countless others with the same problem time and time again I still have found no solid reason as to why this happens or how to simply resolve the issue.
If anyone with knowledge and experience can shed any light on this troublesome problem then please make yourselves known.
I have followed threads and made all the correct adjustments including deleting and creating a new email account. Is this an AOL issue or a Mac issue? The mail works fine on the ipad and iphone.
I have also tried using different wifi and cable connections with the macbook I have my account installed on. It's the latest software 10.8.4 and a macbook pro 13'. 2011 model.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris

Gmail Not Working with Mac Mail

Just this afternoon my 2 gmail accounts stopoped pushing mail to my Mac Mail (7.0). I can send mail from my Mac, my iPhone sends/receives on both accounts, as does my gmail when used with any browser. There has been no change in any settings that would cause any issues, so out of the blue I just don't receive emails on my Mac. I read some threads about appliction specific passwords but that seems unlikely as a cause since it just stopped working today, and as far as I can tell there was no change in my computer or google that would necessitate such a change on my end.

Just to upodate, out of the blue one of the accounts started receiving mail - the other still does not. I'm not sure if this is a google issue or more likely a Maverick issue, as some other odd behavior has occured with mail since upgrading the OS a week ago.

Quicklook Not Working in Mac Mail

Quicklook has just sopped working for me in Mac Mail.
Whenever I get an email with an attachment (eg. pdf) I usually click on it once then press the spacebar to quicklook it.
Just in the past few days this isn't working. Now when I press the spacebar Mail moves to the next email up.
Any ideas on how to fix it so quicklook with the spacebar works again? The problem is just happening in Mail.
Thanks

"Allow insecure authentication" not working on mac mail after upgrade to Yosimite

I recently upgraded to the new Yosemite OS. Since then, I have not been able to access my ISP's IMAP server. After spending time troubleshooting with the service provider, it seems that the "allow insecure authentication" feature is not working. The password appears to be sent as a series of "*" which the server can not recognize and I fail the login. It is of note that I am still able to access this email account through my iPhone 4S with all the same settings and had no issues before the Yosimite upgrade. Is there anyway around this issue?

I had the same problem. Rebooting the computer fixed the issue for me.

Exchange Mail not working in Mac Mail

Hi, I've recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and since then my Exchange email has stopped working. I've reset all the settings and followed the original instructions from my email/web host and it comes up with an error message:
"Unable to verify account information"
It continued to work on my iPhone 4 until I set up iCloud and then it stopped there too.
Not too sure what to try now. The servers are as my email host have stated and my username and password are the same as they've always been!
Please offer any help you can, it's very frustrating!

Luke:
Sorry that I cannot give you an answer. I am having the same problem. I have the correct exchange settings. I even turn off autodiscovery and set the external and internal servers to the same settings. Mail partially works, but it will "forget" older email items when they are still in an inbox. This is NOT an issue with iOS, so I think there is a bug in the Mail program. I am still searching for an answer as well. Right now I am resorting to exchange webmail on my mac. This seems to be only a mail problem. My calendar and tasks sync fine.

Drag and drop not working on Mac

By testing my extension in a Mac I noticed that drag and drop doesn't work as expected. Therefore I have created a new simple extension with only one list and a simple data provider:
[Bindable]
public var aData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(['one','two','three','four']);
<s:List dataProvider="{aData}" dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"> </s:List>
this should allow the user to reorder the items in the list by dragging them.
It works fine in Windows as extension for Photoshop CS6 and also in Mac as AIR application but it doesn't works as Photoshop CS6 extension in Mac (Lion); I can neither see the drop line between items.
Is this a known problem and which is the workaround ?
Thanks

I hope someone can help me, I'm really desperate on this as I can't find a solution
Native drag and drop works but no others, have tested in Lion and Mountain Lion. Can't drag elements in a list to reorder them and can't drag between lists.
It seems the only event fired is dragcomplete, the drag indicator is not shown but I can skin the dragged item.
Have tried adding manual drag-drop control ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=dragdrop_5.html ) without luck
Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Elements 11 Organizer and Editor not working together (Mac)

Is there a way to get the organizer that comes with Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (Mac) with Photoshop Elements 11 Editor (Mac)?
I previously downloaded Elements 11 Editor from Mac iTunes Store, this version does not come with Organizer. I then found I had a copy of organizer with Premiere Elements 11. After install I can use both products fine, but cannot use edior to edit my photos from the Organizer. The message "the feature you selected requires adobe photoshop elements" appears.
Does anybody know how this can be resolved (if it is possible?)

In that same window there should be a series of buttons where you choose to see PSE options, PRE options or both.
EDIT However, I doubt you can make this work. Hardly anybody would do it this way, so it's not surprising that PSE isn't set up for it, but FWIW, it's also a problem with things like certain versions of PS with particular versions of organizer.

My naviagtion toolbar is visible, but is not bold, and does not work. Also, my History option is no longer working, but it is visible.

It is visible but it is in grey colour, and when I click on it, nothing happens. Also, since this update, my History option is no longer working. None of my history appears when I click on it. I never used to have any problems with either of these functions.

BUG - in flash pro CC, 'bold' and 'italic' properties of TextFormat have no effect on rendered text

Concise problem statement:
If you compile with flash pro CC, and use the 'setTextFormat' method of a TextField, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties of the TextFormat argument have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties work as expected.
Apparently, with flash pro CC, the only way to make the text render correctly is to change the font name (add the suffix ' Bold', ' Italic', or ' Bold Italic'.) This means code which dynamically changes font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. For example, if you use the 'bold' property the text renders bold in CS6 and regular in CC, whereas if you change the font name to add the suffix ' Bold', the text renders bold in CC and DOES NOT RENDER at all in CS6. This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create an xfl with 2 TextFields on the stage, both with font "Trebuchet MS" and style "regular", one named boldTrueText containing the String "bold = true", one named fontNameText containing the String "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage for visual reference, both with font "Trebuchet MS", one with style "regular", one with style "bold".
2. Add the following code to the Actions panel on frame 1:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.Font;
var format:TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat();
format.bold = true;
boldTrueText.setTextFormat(format);
format = fontNameText.getTextFormat();
format.font = "Trebuchet MS Bold";
fontNameText.setTextFormat(format);
var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(), count:int = fonts.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < count; i++) {
var font:Font = fonts[i];
trace("fontName: " + font.fontName + ", fontStyle: " + font.fontStyle);
3. Save, and compile with flash pro CS6 and flash pro CC.
Results:
With flash pro CS6, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
With flash pro CS6, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders regular, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
Expected results:
The same text is rendered in both flash pro CS6 and CC. I don't know why this behavior was changed in flash pro CC - it causes silent failures in code which dynamically changes font styles. I expected the flash pro CS6 behavior to remain the same in CC, like so:
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
If you don't want to break backward compatibility (any further), you could make both the behaviors work in flash pro CC, like so:
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold (font is still "Trebuchet MS"), and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold also.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix. Has anyone else encountered this bug?

I just can't believe how there is ZERO documenation for any of this. Flash's stylesheets have fontStyle and fontWeight properties, but they only recognize regular/italic and regular/bold respectively.
This change in Flash CC completely breaks systems built in Flash CS6, and the font naming is actually arbitrary and is not a consistant combination of font name and style (e.g. "Eras ITC" family's bold font name is "Eras Bold ITC", but the bold version of Times New Roman is "Times New Roman Bold" (with Bold at the end, rather than the middle), and what's absolutely appaling is that the font name used at runtime is not exposed anywhere in the Flash IDE!!! In the IDE you select a font family and font style independently, which is absolutely not what's used at runtime, because it actually uses a separate, arbitrarily named field in the font file for the font name. So we can't even know from within Flash what the proper runtime name is, unless we trace it out or open the font properties details tab in Windows explorer.
It seems that Flash CC is always using the font "Title" that can be found in the properties of the font, NOT the font name displayed in Windows Font Preview or in Flash CC. For example, the font name for Times New Roman Bold in Windows Font Preview is just "Times New Roman", but the font title in the properties/details tab is "Times New Roman Bold". If they made the change to allow for specific fonts to be selected, that's fine, but it completely breaks HTML support in TextFields if it's not respecting bold and italic tags.
This may actually be a trend on the web now, if you read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/14/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declara tion/ , it says: "If you’ve used one of FontSquirrel’s amazing @font-face kits, then you’re familiar with this approach to setting weights and styles. The CSS provided in every kit uses a unique font-family name for each weight and style, and sets the weight and style in the @font-face declaration to normal. [...] Notice that the font-family names are unique, with each font-family name accessing the appropriate Web font files."
But there's just no mention of this in any documentation I can find. What the hell.
It's also helpful to realize that font and u tags have been deprecated in HTML5, while b and i tags have been repurposed since they still retain semantic meaning apart from style: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags
