Cannot PREVIEW my eMail before sending; nor can I use BOLD, ITALIC etc.

In the past 3 days: Cannot PREVIEW my eMail before sending; nor can I use BOLD, ITALIC etc.
I can add this: and I think you see the smiley-- but I cannot use the "B" bold button to make a selection of text bold; nor any other features for emphasis-- and cannot even get the Preview window to open.
Is this a technical problem or me?
Thanks,
Steve

This is a known problem, the Hosts are working to fix it. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1344112&tstart=0

Can't apply bold, italic, etc. in Mail after 10.4.7

After going through some new font follies, running through a MS Office update I'd been putting off, and then running the Tiger 10.4.7 Combo update (PPC), my Mail headers were all funky with a lot of extra spacing. Thanks to a thread here from last year, I figured out that Helvetica was the culprit. My headers are okay now. But I cannot apply boldface or italic to words in my Mail messages--no matter which font I set in Prefs or try to select from the font palette (which doesn't seem to be working at all, if I recall its former behavior correctly).
Does this sound like something that could have been caused by the 10.4.7 update? Anyone know a fix?
I should perhaps mention that this problem is not with my PM G5--it's my Mini at work.

A little more info in case this will help someone help me. What preceded the loss of formatting capability in Mail was that we got some new fonts on our network at the office and I wanted to put them on my Mini. I had never added new fonts under OS X before and I probably went about it the wrong way. I opened Font Book and used the "Add Fonts" command to try to grab the fonts from the network server (without first copying them over in Finder). This seemed to work, except for one font that Font Book warned was corrupted. It didn't add the corrupted font.
But subsequently Microsoft Word went nuts and started throwing "font is corrupted and should be removed" at me for every font I had. Some of my Stickies notes also turned into nonsense characters. I ended up trashing everything in the user/library/fonts folder. I also took everything out of the System fonts folder and put it in a separate folder, except the fonts that are identified as essential in this posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607630
I decided this would be a good time to do software updates I had been putting off, so I first updated Microsoft Office and then updated my system from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7.
The MS Office update fixed the problem with Stickies, for some reason. Maybe it restored a font. After the OS update, everything seemed fine until I noticed the goofy headers in my Mail messages. I fiddled with Helvetica and got that fixed. But I then discovered that I couldn't make anything bold or italic when composing a Mail message (yes, rich text is selected) and couldn't change the font via the font palette, either (although I can still change the base font in Preferences).
FYI, everything else is working fine--Web pages are displaying correctly and all the formatting commands in Word are behaving as they should.
I didn't post this in the Mail forum because I feel this may be only secondarily a Mail problem--that it's primarily either a font or a system update problem.
I'm wondering if I should get Pacifist and try to reinstall my Mail program. Anyone have any ideas now that I have (hopefully) explained this better?

I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

I can create documents in Mavericks Pages and Keynote. When I attach them to an email and send to others also using Mavericks, they can't open the attachments. Why might this be?

The new Pages v5 (Mavericks) uses a new file format with the same extension name (.pages). Older versions of Pages cannot open these documents unless you first export them as Word (.docx) and send these as Mail attachments. The same is true if you originate an IOS Pages v2.01 .pages document.
You may be sending to people who chose not to install Pages v5 on Mavericks and continue to use Pages ’09 v4.3 instead — especially for the superset of features that are presently not in Pages v5.

How to automatically spell check emails before sending

Hi. I have a Q10, and I was wondering how I can automatically spell and grammar check emails before sending. Currently, if a word is misspelled, I get a red underline, and most of the time, if I click on that word, I get this magnifying glass, which I have no idea what the magnifying glass is, and why that comes up instead of options for the spell check. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

BB decided it would be nice to take this feature away. I do not think that there is ONE phone left on the market (other than an old BB) that has a good old fashioned spell check. There are A LOT of unhappy BB users who really miss and relied on spell check/check spelling before sending. Little things like this are what made BB's stand apart from other phones. Now it's just a wanna be iphone

HT2534 I just create a new ID, but after verified my email add, I still can't use my new ID neither with credit card nor none. I just stuck at review my account step, please advise.

What do you mean 'give me an example please' ? And 'dont have use a credit card' ?
Unless you follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to enter credit card details before the account can be used in the store.
If you don't have a credit card then you will need to create a new account, but this time follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone.

Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

HT4623 Cannot re-activate my iPad after the OS7 update, nor can I use iTunes to update it. I only the iPad and a PC, fyi.

I had my iPad for some time now and it's been activated and works. Then it auto updated to the new iOS7 and requires me to re-activated it, yet I cannot. This is the message that keeps popping up "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." I've tried countless times and still I get this message, I own a PC and never had downloaded iTunes before, so I finally downloaded it and tried to run it and I get this message "itunes cannot read because was created by a newer version." I never had iTunes before so I don't understand the message, i was going to look it up myself but I figured to post my questions here first. What can I do to activate my iPad? My wifi works great, it was activated before the update, can't use iTunes and I keep getting the same message on my iPad. I hope someone can help me and explain it in baby steps.

Hey beetlethug,
I found the following troubleshooting steps for when you're experiencing activation issues, I'd give them a shot:
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

Spell check emails before sending

I believe this has been posted elsewhere, but I am wondering if anyone has found a way to make this happen? Is this a possibility for future software upgrades?
I do have the spell check feature turned on, and incorrect words are underlined in red, but I find the correction process cumbersome and really miss the option of spell-checking an entire email before sending it (which was available on my Bold 9900).
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. H

If it helps at all to get this included in a future release we have several users who are used to this feature on their BB7 devices and sorely miss it on their BB10 devices.

Cannot see SSID nor can I use Join Other network with Graphite BaseStation

I got a hand me down Graphite Basestation. I can administer it via Ethernet, and I can get out on the Internet that way, but I can't join the Basestation wirelessly. None of my computers can see the SSID nor can I used the Join Other Network to join. Any idea why?
Thanks!
Sherman

Correction - I mean Snow Basestation, not Graphite

When I use Preview my computer locks up. Can't use it to view PDFs. Any ideas?

When I use Preview my computer locks up. Can't use it to view PDFs. Any ideas?
I try to save files as a PDF on external hard drives. When I select SAVE AS PDF I get spinning colorwheel and the program I am using locks (Quicken, Quickbooks, Gmail etc.)

There were several /Library/preferences. The only one that had the file was the one under my user name. I deleted it. I was using Quickbooks when the problem started. It is locked. I have to reboot the computer to use it again. I tried SAFARI using the PRINT button then SAVE AS PDF. It didn't work. It locks Safari up. I will reboot and hopefully continue.
P.S. I've done this procedure before and I was able to Save, but then the problem came back.

My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account. Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play. How can I fix this?

I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers
