Capital letters when starting new sentence

New to Mac (part II). Ok, new to Mac part II means I tried a couple years ago but because I was dependent on MS products and IE (have to have IE for real estate) I had to switch back to PC. Now with new Intel chip and am happy to say I am the proud new owner of a MacBook.
I love Mac Mail and have been spoiled by MS Outlook when writing emails. In Outlook it always capitalized the letter of each new sentence, capitalized i and auto completed days of the week.
Is there a setting in Mac Mail that at least capitalizes the first word of each new sentence or "i"? Thanks.
Oh, also, whenever I reply to a message the opening sentence parks on top of the response forcing me to hit enter a couple of times to create a gap.
Any settings for this?

I'm looking to auto capitilize the first word in a senatnce as well, specifically in Apple Mail under 10.4.10 on a Mac Book Pro.

  • Why do deleted contacts still show when starting new text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4s.  I've deleted many contacts but if I start a new text message that begins with the letter of someones contact I deleted, they show up.  How can this history be deleted?  I have a friend with an iPhone 5 and this does not happen on that model.

    just thought you like to know having apple do a hard reset to my phone didn't fix the problem I still have the deleted contact show up when I text anyone who has the same letters in their name.  Infact the apple store employees and phone operators told me I completely stumped them and they have no idea how to fix this since that contact does not show up anywere else and a hard reset also failed.  they said that eventually maybe my phone will fix itself with one of there upgrades but if I should figure out how to fix it on my own to please let them know how I did it.

  • Error message when starting new webserver on Sun One

    Hi,
    I saw a similar post on this topic a couple of months back. Tried the suggestion, but my results are different from that person's results.
    I'm trying to create a new webserver on a freshly-installed Sun One server. Ultimately, I'd like to migrate our old iPlanet 4.1 webservers, but right now, even creating a plain vanilla instance on this server isn't working.
    Symptom #1 from error log:
    failure ( 7563): Invalid configuration: Could not determine base pathname of the file
    From what I understood in a previous post, this may be due to a permissions problem. The suggestion made was to try running the webserver as root, and if it works, that's the likely suspect.
    When I try setting the webserver user to root, though, I get a different error message:
    Symptom #2:
    security ( 7683): Temporary directory /tmp/https-mercury-test-310a6482 (specified by the TempDir magnus.conf directive) is not owned by the server user. This is a potential security hole. Please change TempDir or remove the directory and restart the server.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Liz

    It appears there was some problem during install/setup of your non-root web instance. To debug this issue, you can try running truss on the start script to find out what is causing the problem. Alternatively, if this is a test/lab setup, you may want to remove this and do a clean install one more time. I've had no problems running as non-root users so this should work for you.
    Thanks

  • Error when starting new video recording

    When I try to start a new video recording I receive the following error:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -536870206.)
    I am using Quicktime Pro on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5. Quicktime will work with iSight but not with my PS3 eye (usb webcam). I am able to choose the PS3 eye from Quicktime preferences and the video screen will show up with video from the PS3 eye (so I know that Quicktime recognizes the cam). But the error dialogue box appears immediately.
    Other information - I am using macam.component for Quicktime and the PS3 eye works perfectly with Macam.
    Has anyone received this error before?

    I have not, but I do not use PS3 eye. If it is a "UVC" (usb video class) device, it should work with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later _without additional software drivers_. Some unnecessary drivers can conflict with your Mac's software.
    If desired, you can remove the file macam.component from /Library/QuickTime and restart Mac to see if the PS3 eye can work with QuickTime without the additional driver.

  • Previous text always appears when starting new SMS

    My wife has a problem with her iPhone 4s running iOS6.
    When composing a new SMS, the text from a previous message appears in the window pane. We do restart, we turned it off/on but it is still there. When you reply to a text message, it will appear again from the window pane.
    Any idea why is this happening?

    One conversation with each person - at the present time anyway.
    If an existing conversation has been started with a particular person, you can't create a new conversation for that person without deleting the existing conversation.

  • Style (bold, underline, italic) gets stuck when starting new line

    This is driving me nuts. Half the time, if I have a style selcted and press return twice for a new paragraph, the style gets 'stuck'. neither the shortcut nor clicking the style button will change it. I have to first type a letter, then change the style, and go back and delete the letter.
    Anyone else experiencing this? I don't understand why I can't find anyone else on the web having the problem as it's so glaring in my use of the programme.
    I also don't understand why it only happens some of the time and what I'm doing differently.

    This is apparently a bug in Pages 5. You cannot switch the bold or italic or underline setting if the insertion point is immediately after a paragraph return.
    I don't know why you can't find anyone else having the problem, since it has been noted on these discussions a couple times a week since Pages 5 came out (including a post ten below yours when I posted this reply).
    I think it might be a little easier to just use the keyboard shortcut before the paragraph return, instead of typing an extra letter and then going back to delete it. (And you really ought to use the Space After or Space Before setting if you want extra whitespace between paragraphs, instead of typing two paragraph returns.)

  • Cannot link to FM document when starting new project

    Hi,
    We are using FM12 and RH HTML 11. We recently upgraded from TCS 4 to TCS 5.
    We would like to dynamically link our FM books in RH. However, the option is greyed out. We encountered the problem with TCS 4, so I don’t think it is related to the upgrade.
    Any suggestions you have as to how to activate this option would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Just to be on the safe side, I unistalled and reinstalled the suite with full admin rights including granting myself permission on my C:\ drive. That did the trick! My colleagues didn't bother with unistalling/reinstalling. They just granted themselves full permission on their C:\ drives and that was enough to enable the option.

  • I want automatic capitals to start a sentence - how do i fix this?

    how to i get automatic capital letters to start sentences in a message?

    The default Firefox installation shows a blank page when you open a new Tab, something you installed in Firefox changed that action. You need to figure out what you installed that changed that action to showing yahoo.com and disable that addon.

    I don't know about the first letter cap but the spelling is simple. Edit - Spelling and Grammar - Select While Typing and Correct Spelling Automatically.

  • When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

    When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
    Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

    Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
    As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

  • How do you start a new sentence when texting with Siri?

    Siri is great but i can't figure out how to have it put a period and start a new sentence when sending texts/emails.  anyone know how?  Thanks!

    NOPE!!!  If you pause even for a split second while dictating, siri assumes you're done, and message winds up incomplete!!!   Have to start over from beggining and it may still cut you off.  happens to me with almost ANY dictated text longer than 2-3 words.
    I have been an Apple fanboi for over a decade, but my 2 year iPhone experience has me wishing I'd stuck to android! :-/

  • Capital Letters and spaces when naming files or images

    When I first started creating a web page, I was under the impression that I should only use lower case and use an underscore instead of a space. Is this still the case or have things moved on since then.
    If not, could somebody please let me know when I should use Capital Letters and spaces.
    Does it affect google ratings or any search engine ratings in any way.
    Thanks to all who have answered my previous posts. I do not know what I would have done without this forum.
    All the best to all and thanks again.
    Michael

    No change.
    Stick to A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen and underscore. Avoid spaces and special characters such as ?, ! and #.
    It's a matter of differences in server operating systems. Spaces in filenames can be read differently by different servers and may lead to broken links.
    Javascript and some operating systems (e.g. Linux) are case sensitive.
    On Linux: MyPic.jpg is a different file to mypic.jpg
    In addition, Uppercase/lowercase is partly a question of consistency to avoid user error.
    Some users here have inexplicable (to them) errors because Images/image.jpg and images/image.jpg are two different paths.
    Choose a simple, logical (and legal) file naming convention (e.g. all lowercase) which you find most comfortable and stick to it at all times.

    Hi Jim,
    Tough to tell, but I'd try this for a good start.
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Update firefox, it asked me to update flash, I tried to update flash but it said I had to close firefox. A box came up and said the Flash install would continue when I closed firefox. I closed all firefox windows and no update of flash occurred. I tried relaunching firefox but got the "Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." message. I rebooted the system, no improvement. I tried to run firefox as administrator and got the same message. Either I find a fix or I won't be able to use firefox and will have to go back to ie.
