Bold no longer works in Mail, after Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to 10.5.1 -- and maybe to 10.5 -- I can no longer use bold style when composing a new email in Mail. Command-B and Format > Style > Bold have no effect. By contrast, italics and underline still work fine.

Hi There
Yes, I'm having a similar problem in Mail too. Using Arial 12pt (standard for mail)
For example:
If I key 'This is a test'. Then select it and either hit command B or go up to format and select bold, i get this: *is is es* How weird!... I'd like to hear from apple on this??
Just wondering is people with problems like this are using a third party font utility?... I'm using Suitcase. Don't know if this bears any relevance?
Something else relating to Mail in Leopard too...
In Tiger you used to see how 'big' your mail was you were creating to send to someone. Say you attached a 2mb pdf or pic.. it would come up in the bottom left of your mail saying the size. (ok this wasn't exactly accurate and it might say 2.3Mb, but it was useful becuase if you went over your outgoing mail server maximum size, it would show up in red.
This info/feature has been eliminated and forgotten in Leopard Mail!
Why?... Does any one know?
thanks
Pete

Script no longer works in mail V3 since upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5

I used the script below to generate mail messages. Under 10.4 it would just send the message, now under 10.5 it puts it in the Out Box and that is it.
Anybody knows how to fix this so it sends it immediately?
Secondly I used to be able to set sender to any of my accounts for example "[email protected]" or any address I liked, this too is no longer working as it uses always the main account from Mail it is send from.
Anybody knows why or how to fix this?
set theBody to "abc"
set theSubject to "XYZ"
set theTarget to "[email protected]"
tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with
roperties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody}
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theTarget}
set sender to "[email protected]"
end tell
send newMessage
end tell
thanks

I don't know if this is still an issue for you guys, but I've been experiencing a problem with the MouseWheelListener added to a Component that is added to an Applet. This is browser independent, but appletviewer/browser dependent.
Check this link for some test cases:

I thought it had something to do with the event getting "consumed" by other listeners, but it seems like it only has to do with the MouseWheelListener.

Ipod no longer works in car after software upgrade

After doing the most recent software upgrade on my ipod touch, the device is no longer recognised when i cnnect it to my car stereo (infinity). How can i uninstall the last upgrade??

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometime the iOS update breaks compatibility and yo have to wait for either an iOS update or a firmware update for your car system.

IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes after Leopard upgrade - HELP!

Not sure if this is the exact forum, but I just upgraded to Leopard and did all the proper software updates and now when I connect my iPhone 3G - iPhoto launches to load the pics like my camera normally does, but when I open iTunes my device does not appear. I tried rebooting both the phone and the computer and I am on iTunes 8. If I look in preferences for devices in iTunes my phone is listed, but it does not seem to want to sync.
Any and all thoughts are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
Thanks

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.

My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade. How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

We want you to love your software update pitbullmommy71! When did you update your phone? Have you tried going into phone settings and set up your notifications as you would like them? It can take a few days for your phone to normalize after the update, but this may be a bit much. Some apps may no longer be compatible with the new software so you can try running phone in Safe Mode or do a Hard Reset to see if this improves your phone. I've seen where some have completed a Hard Reset after the update and downloaded all same apps, and phone works flawlessly now. However, if you'd like to try Safe Mode first, (which is where all 3rd party apps are disabled), you can certainly try this for 24 hours to see if improves.

My iPad 2 lost its mail after I upgraded to IOS8. It crashes every time I click on mail. Yet, I can send photos and forward things in outgoing mail.

Lost my mail
after I upgraded to IOS8. It crashes every time I click on mail. Yet, I can send photos and forward things in outgoing mail. how to restore?

Answering my own question here. It's fixed! Another user recommended I switch to another wireless network then back to mine. And it worked! Mail is sending again with no problem.

IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
Any ideas what to do?

I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
I too am wondering what I can do???

Bold or Italics no longer works in Mail

When composing a message in Mail, using font style shortcuts no longer work. I've tried everything! For example, in the text of my email message, I select the word(s) that I want to bold, I press Cmd+B and it does nothing to the text. The font stays regular. Alternately, if I style it manually by choosing Format from the menu and then choosing Style, I see that it shows Bold as already being selected with a check mark, but the text still is not. This also applies to italicizing as well.
Thinking that I may have a corrupt Helvetica font, I changed the font to several others only to have the same problem. To test my corrupt theory one step further, I opened TextEdit, typed some text in the same fonts (ones that I know support bold and italics), press Cmd+B and Cmd+I and it works like a charm! No problems at all. I have beautifully bolded and italicized text. What gives?
Then I thought I would check my MacBook to see what folder Mail is reading the fonts from that I have chosen. The settings are exactly the same on my MacBook as they are on my iMac and both machines are happily running Leopard 10.5.5.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this or how to fix such an odd issue? Is reinstalling the Mail app possible or even worth considering? My only workaround is to type what I want bolded and/or italicized in TextEdit, then copy/paste it into my message, even though I can't remove the bold or italics once it's copied in. HELP!

I always use monospaced fonts for email, by preference; it's easy to line up things. The problem is the font. Change the font to something other than what you're using, I just selected Arial and then the italic feature worked!!! Hope this helps!
It isn't about whether it's monospaced, it's about whether the font contains the style variants. Clearly Apple is taking the position of the typographic purist, which means they won't fake a bold or italic like in the old days, they only want to use it if it actually exists.

IChat video no longer working after Leopard upgrade

I always used to be able to video chat with everyone and then after my Leopard upgrade, no such luck... I looked through the user tips and here is what I have done.
1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
Yes, I have it set
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
Nope
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ?
Nope
4) How are you connected to the internet ?
Airport Extreme. Do I need to do set anything? We use it in 802.11n and nothing else.
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ?
Nope
7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ?
See Here and here
8) List your Connection speed
6.7Mbps
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Hi,
2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

Hi everyone
I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

Spell check no longer works in Safari after iOS5 update

After updating to iOS5 on my iPad2 yesterday, the spell check feature no longer works in Safari when using the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It works in all the other applications I've tried, such as Pages and Mail. It's a real bummer, especially if writing a blog. Any help or suggestions? Spell check worked fine before the update. (Spell check still works in Safari with the on-screen keyboard, just not with the Apple Wireless Keyboard - Safari seems to be the only application effected so far) Thank you.

Update: After rebooting my macbook - Moves now playing. TV shows bought using a different apple ID account still does not work even though they did before.

Command-Shift-Delete no longer works in Mail
