Can't get Mail to recognize Thawte certificate for signing and encrypting

I got a certificate from Thawte and double clicked on the p12 file. This installed the certificate in the login section of the Keychain. I read in several places that it must be in the X509Anchors chain in order to work. However, whenever I try to import it or copy it there I can't get past the authentication screen. I give it the password to decrypt the p12 file and that works, but then it asks for a password for the X509Anchors keychain. I'm giving it my login password, but that doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

You shouldn't have to do anything with the X509Anchors keychain. The X509Anchors keychain contains certificate authority (CA) certificates, i.e., certificates associated with CA's that sign certificates. In it you'll find various CA certificates for thawte among others.
After you've successfully imported your thawte cert into your login chain, restart mail (I don't think you need to restart keychain access, but it wouldn't hurt).
Now when you compose a message, you should see encrypt and sign buttons to the right and below the subject line. This of course assumes the email address configured in mail is the same as the one in the thawte certificate.

How can I get Mail sounds to turn off for junk and other non-Inbox new mail?

This week my Mail sound started going off for all types, incessantly, including receipt of the much Junk filtered out of the Inbox into Junk. Formerly I received alert sounds only for new Inbox mail. I have unchecked the "Play sounds for other actions" in Mail Preferences which does no good. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks.

Did you install any software which includes or is a notification program such as Growl? Those may override any options you've set in the Preferences.

How can I get to the files I need for school and jobs? It only allows me to go to my photos.

I Am having problems getting to my files so I can submit papers for school and to send in resumes. It will only let me go to my pictures it will not let me go to my files I need.

What are you talking about? What will only let you go to your pictures? Where are the files stored? What app are you attempting to access them with? And what does this have to do with AppleWorks, which has been discontinued for years?

Can't get Apache to recognize new certificate

In trying to replace an expiring certificate, I thought I followed instructions properly -
1) entered the information for a new cert in S.A.
2) clicked "request signed certificate from CA"
3) emailed the resulting csr to our IT manager, who returned the cert from Equifax
4) clicked "Add signed certificate"
5) pasted in the cert and clicked save.
Everything appeared to work; the new information shows correctly in the certificate pane of S.A., including the signing authority and the new effective dates (beginning yesterday). Keychain access and certificate assistant apps both show a valid cert, issued by Equifax for the server.
When I try to log in to an SSL web page, however, I get the "Web site certified by an unknown authority" message. Examining the cert in the browser shows it to be self signed, with a serial number of 12:34:56:78. I've tried restarting Apache, rebooting the server, re-specifying the cert to use in the web site configuration, all to no avail.
What else? Delete the site listing in S.A. and recreate it?
G4 Mac OS X Server (10.4.7)
G5, G4, MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Delete the site listing in S.A. and
recreate it?
Never mind. This did the trick.

How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received to/from these people.
How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
(I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)

Mail Signing and Encryption Algorithms

Hi,
Is there a way to select which algorithms are used for signing and encryption when using S/MIME with the Mac Mail app?
Thanks and regards,
Phil.

Hi Abhay
Probably the issue is with the public keys which are stored in both the XI boxes , as both the keys will be same .
Also check digital signatures which are maintained .

I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password to the gmail account I am trying to add.

I am trying to add a gmail account to Thunderbird that is already hosting several gmail accounts. No matter what I do, I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password. I admit, I got is wrong a few times, but I did get the right one, and it was typed in perfectly several times, as well as copy and pasted. The password worked fine to log into the account directly, but not into Thunderbird. I tried changing the password, and that did not work either. I have tried adding this account in Windows 8.1 as well as Ubuntu 14.04, and the results have been the same. In Ubuntu, I tried adding another account I needed added, and that went without a hitch. The only think I can think of is the address I am trying to add is linked to a email address for a website being transferred to me that is hosted by Yahoo and its business mail. I tried adding the yahoo account directly, but I add the same issues with passwords, but I suspect most of you know that is because Yahoo is simply sucking more and more in an attempt to become irrelevant.

I cannot believe the swiftness of your the help on this forum, within seconds you guys fixed the problem, and the account was added with no further issues. The people on this forum rock!!!!!
I am now beginning to suspect it indeed had to do with that first lot of wrong passwords.

I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
Thx
Agnes

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

After OS clean install I can't get iTunes to recognize library on external drive

I have a Mac Pro that had an SSD boot drive and a separate hard drive that contains my iTunes Library and Media files. Because of problems with my boot drive I erased the SSD and did a clean install of Mavericks. Now I can't get iTunes to recognize the iTunes Media files on the hard drive. I've gone to Preferences/Advanced in iTunes and changed the "iTunes Media folder location" to point to the hard drive with the iTunes data on it. Nothing happens when I do this. No dialogs. Nothing. I've trashed iTunes preferences to no avail. I don't know what to do to fix this or troubleshoot it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Nothing should happen when you do this. This simply tells iTunes where to put anything you add after this. It doens't tell iTunes where anything already in iTunes is located.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the hard drive.

How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro.
Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks to anyone who can help!!

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.
