Bummer with Mavericks and changes to smart groups in apple mail

I am so not happy with Mavericks and how it changed smart groups in apple mail. Before it was easy to create a group mailing to my clients. I find nothing helpful in their help link either. I want it to show in bcc so I can see who I am mailing to. Seriously, i would not have downloaded this if I had known they'd get rid of the ease of smart groups. Since there are no smart groups now, why do they even have it listed? The option? I can't see what I can even do with it. Do I sound crabby? Yup. Thank you for helping. I need to bcc to a group of 271 clients. Bad apple! Bad! Seems like newer versions should bring improvments, not the opposite.

Hi,
Yes that is what I had to do yesterday and it wasn't easy but quirky, as far as entering names etc to clients. There's now nothing "smart" about it. They should remove the smart group folder since it doesn't really exist now. I was not a happy camper.
I repeat here what I said earlier in case you did not see it: I called Apple in Cupertino, CA and spoke with someone in Customer Care I think it was. She was nice and listened but said that she has no power with higher-ups and to post here and that they do see it. I hope enough of us post about this issue that they change it! Go to: apple.com\feedback , then to products, choose Maverick (I guess), drop down window and post there. I will too. Thanks.
I hope she understood I meant it as a smart group issue and not just quirky email issues with gmail etc. Have a good day.

  • I'm staying with friends and I'd like to use Apple Mail

    I can receive mail on Apple Mail over the WiFi here, but I can't send it. I can send with the Fairpoint web mail, but I'd perfer not. What do I need to know about their Server and WiFi? Is there some way I can use Apple mail when travelling, (ie Starbusks or something?)

    I assume Fairpoint is your ISP. Its mail server is configured to allow sending only from within its network. You can't use it elsewhere. Either you need an account with another email provider, or you need to do what you're already doing: use the webmail interface.

  • Hello! I have a printer,Canon MP250 and I bought a new MacBookPro with Maverick and I cannot work this printer

    Hello! I have a printer,Canon MP250 and I bought a new MacBookPro with Maverick and I cannot work this printer with the driver that came with the printer and I've tried to find an update but with no success, can you help me?
    Thanks!!

    you can try resetting the network settings in settings or you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release.  Then wait for the phone to boot back up.  You won't lose any data.

  • Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

    rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running?  You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
    Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
    Printer Driver v9.33
    Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY:  have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
    How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

    THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
    I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard. 
    What is wrong with this maverick OS?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Intaract with oid and bring the all groups resides in oid through ldap

    Hi,
    i would like to intaract with oid and bring the all groups which were resides in
    oracle intrnet directory through ldap. can u please give me the procedure
    that i can follow or else suggest me a documentation regarding this .
    regards,
    srinivas

    try this (behaviour not garranteed):
    For local groups (groups within the Portal's group install base) you can program a loop on the table PORTAL.WWSEC_GROUP$ then read the column NAME.
    For non local groups, use the (unsupported) API wwsec_oid (function get_group_name_from_dn(wwsec_group$.dn) ) instead of reading the NAME column.
    If the result is incomplete (synchro issues with OID for instance due to DIP) you'll have to use ldap request with DBMS_LDAP package.(or java alternative, of course)

  • Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...

    Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...

    Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

  • With Mavericks and Safari 7, I can no longer use address bar to search.

    With Mavericks and Safari 7, I can no longer use address bar to search. It shows the suggested searches but nothing happens when hitting enter or clicking with mouse. What can I do? No extensions btw.
    I just cannot search - it won't work.

    I had this problem and finally figured it out. Try going to View, and then Show Toolbar. I hope this helps everyone...
    EDIT: I didn't read your question carefully enough. Sorry. My problem was that the toolbar wasn't showing up at all.

  • I can't see my tools such as eraser or lasso on the pixel sizes in editor. I am on a IMAC with Mavericks and of course, 12.1. I can't work without getting to my tools at the bottom.

    I can't see or get to my tools such as eraser's size or lasso's pixels or brushes in Editor. I am Victoria  <removed> on an IMAC with Mavericks and 12.1 in Photoshop. My email is< removed > and I live in CT so just in case you have any helpful advice. My cell. phone is < removed >.
    Personal info removed.

    With the image displayed on the screen, the pixels are 1944 by 2592. By going to the units & rulers, the pixels were 300 by 72 screen with rules as inches, type as pt. and print & photo were listed as inches.
    I did try the system preferences display but it didn't give me pixels. Unless you mean going under the Apple which didn't give me pixels under Display.
    Thanks.

  • Everything seems OK with Mavericks and WD external HD

    I'm reading about tons of problems with Mavericks and WD external drives. Most mention WD software glitches.
    I have a 2T WD My Book USB external HD. After upgrading to Mavericks (two weeks now), I haven't experienced and data loss at all, and all my partitions have retained their names and icons. They all check out OK in Disk Utility. I did have a Finder glitch once where I could not Copy/Paste any file over several several MB., (error 8057) but a restart fixed it. As far as know, that was only from one partition. I have had some video issues launching .avi and .mkv with an 'app not found' error. Making VLC the default for the those files in Get Info seems to have solved that (except the icons remain Quicktime). Previously when launching .avi files QuickTime did not launch and attempt to convert it.
    For now, I'm regarding the video thing as a separate issue.
    When I got my WD USB ext. a year ago, I did not install ANY WD software. I simply formatted to HFS+ and partitioned in Disk Utility and was good to go. Is it safe to say that since I don't have any of that pre-Mavericks software installed (I double checked with Spotlight), that my external drive is safe? Or should I run out and get a solid state drive ASAP? Is it also fairly safe to think that since I went through the upgrade unmolested and it's been two weeks now that everything is probably OK?

    Yup, that's exactly what I meant. It comes preinstalled.

  • Hi, I have a Powermac with Mavericks and an iPhone 5S. I just recently switched from Verizon with unlimited downloads to limited of 500mb per month. I just purchased a Powerlink Outdoor Plus which is supposed to increase the network range for over 1 mile

    Hi, I have a Powermac with Mavericks and a recently purchased iPhone 5S. I just  switched from Verizon with unlimited downloads to limited of 500mb per month, so I purchased a Powerlink Outdoor Plus which is supposed to increase the network range for over 1 mile. I am still getting the same distance range with my iPhone with the Verizon router. I was wondering if I need to make adjustments in the Network Settings. Does anyone know about this particular subject?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Okay, I'll admit I don't know much about your configuration. A standard cellular package for a cellphone means you get your signal from a tower somewhere.  It won't have anything to do with a router which will be a WiFi connection from a router.  If you're talking about that, the Powerlink appears to be a directional antenna.  You should get better transmission/reception in the direction it is pointed, but likely worse in other directions than if you were using an omnidirectional antenna.  I presume you have it all hooked up correctly so the router is actually using the Powerlink antenna.
    By the way, those distance ratings are always exaggerated.  Maybe you'd get 1 mile if there was only dry air between you and the antenna and no trees, buildings, etc., and that would probably be just barely getting a signal.  You should see improvement but don't go to a coffeeshop 1 mile away in a city and expect to see your router.  We have a directional antenna on the roof of our house that looks like a satellite dish and I barely pick up the wireless service node a block away (with apartment buildings in between).  Thre may also be a difference between using it to send a signal and receiving a signal.  You might even need two, one at each end, to get 1 mile.

  • I'm using OS X Mavericks and Safari cannot play videos on Apple website. Any clue?

    I'm using OS X Mavericks and Safari cannot play videos on Apple website. Any clue?

    Usually, that's due to a DivX plug-in or Safari extension... start with Safari - Preferences - Extensions & switch them off. If nothing there, see Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins & note any that are for DivX.
