Color picker for text in Mac OS X Lion Mail is not working properly

I found a bug in Mac OSX Lion Mail program. I tried it on 3 different machines and they all act the same. When you compose a new message in mail and you change the color of the text to another color than black with the color picker, the text changes to the apropriate color. If you try to select that same text and try to revert it's color to black again using the color picker, the text bocomes blank and you cant see it anymore.
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?

Same problem here - it's a bug which hopefully will be fixed in a future update.
In the meantime, here is a workaround:
Highlight the text you want to change
Click on the color icon
Click on "Show Colors"
Run the "Back slider" a little up, and then all the way back again.
This should make the text black again - it's a little cumbersome to say the least, but it does the trick

After installing Lion on my Mac Pro, search in mail is not working.

I can run the search successfully in spotlight, or on my macbook air, but when searching in mail on the mac pro, it seems to return random results. Can anyone shed some light?
I have tried multiple test cases and the mac Pro from withi

I ran into the same problem with only some messages (if any at all) showing up in the searches in Mail. For an example, I have over 100 messages from Netflix within all my mail folders (trash included) but when I search for anything containing "netflix" it would only pull up 2 messages from my trash folder on two random dates. This was the case for ANY searches I was trying to pull up, not just for netflix emails.
I spoke to an iOS Senior Advisor who did a screen share with me (because he had never heard of the problem previously) and after reviewing the issue, he said he will be taking this up to the engineers.
Here is what fixed the problem for me:
1. Enable Indexing
Open Terminal, and type the following: sudo mdutil -i on /
If it asks for your password, type it in and hit return.
Re-open mail. If this didn't fix anything, then you will need to re-index:
2. Re-indexing HD
Go to System Preferences, Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, click on the + to add the entire Macintosh HD to the list of "Prevent spotlight from searching these locations" and then remove the Macintosh HD by clicking the - button.
Once you've done this is will automatically start re-indexing in spotlight. This took about 90 minutes on my computer, but once it was done, I re-opened mail and it was working properly again.
If you still run into issues, I've heard that in Mail, clicking on "Mailbox" then "Rebuild" can sometimes fix the issue. Let me know if any of those steps worked for you!

Mac USB Keyboard Cntrl + F# commands not working properly

Hello folks,
I have a mac keyboard connected to my MBA through USB, the issue is that the control + F# shortkeys don't work properly.
E.g pressing ctrl + F3 should take me to the desktop ( the sliding movement of the windows ), but instead it switches between windows or something..
Even though it says in the system setting that pressing ctrl + F3 should take me there.
The keyboard in question is a Mac keyboard also. The commands works just fine when I click only the F# buttons on the MBA's keyboard.
Anyone has stumbled upon this previously or know any solution? You gotta love the Mac keycommands.
Thanks

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard (and Mouse depending on Mac OS X revision) -> Keyboard
change the use all F1, F2 etc... keys as standard function keys setup.
Command + key usually works for control commands you are used to on Windows, when working with Mac OS X applications.

Upgrading to Lion, used cloud, now my apple mail no longer syncs on my computer. Can't get any apple mail to come in. Mail window not working properly. Connection to Internet fine. Anyone know how to fix this issue? All worked fine until I opted for Cloud

Hello,
I am using a MacBook Pro. Bought in April 2011. Upgraded to Lion, OSX 10.7.3
I have an Apple mail account that synced with a gmail account in my Mail Program.
I then chose the CLOUD activation. I can find my mail if I go to cloud.com but I no longer get any Apple mail delivered to my Mail program on my computer. My gmail account syncs just fine. In fact, the Mail program doesn't even open any longer when I double click. I have to go to the Mail menu, select Message Viewer to even view my mail program now. The Internet connection is testing fine using the Connection Doctor. But when the Connection Doctor program just whirs for eternity and never finishes checking the accounts.
Is this a bug? Do you have to set up your mailbox again for Apple mail to get it to sync after having mail hosted on the Cloud? Or does hosting on the Cloud mean I now always have to go the hassle of logging in at the cloud site to even access my Apple mail?
Any ideas out there? I am sure there are Mac geniuses, the real ones, floating around in cyber space and would love to get some intelligent directions to solve this new issue.
Cheers
Anne

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,
anne

Authenticating to Mac OS X Server Mail Server - Not WOrking

Hi,
I have setup my smtp server (on a mac os x server) to accept authenticated smtp sessions from outside its network...
smtpdpw_server_securityoptions = cram-md5,login,gssapi
smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitsasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
However, my iPhone will not connect to the server when away from home, smtp log shows just...
Nov 19 08:18:55 mailgate postfix/smtpd[36658]: connect from mobileweb03.london.02.net[193.113.235.169]
Nov 19 08:18:57 mailgate postfix/smtpd[36658]: lost connection after HELO from mobileweb03.london.02.net[193.113.235.169]
Nov 19 08:18:57 mailgate postfix/smtpd[36658]: disconnect from mobileweb03.london.02.net[193.113.235.169]
Has anybody successfully made the iPhone work with the Mac SMTP server?
Thx!

i have no problem connecting to the IMAP server, this issue is sending outgoing mail via the smtp server. As I am outside of the permitted network I have setup authentication, this does not seem to be working. Message from smtp server logfile states the iPhone is ending the connection after the HELO request.

Acrobat 8:color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available.

I have Acrobat 8 and am creating a fillable form with the check box tool and text field tool. 8 of the 9 pages worked well but on the 9th page the color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available. It is still available for "Text". I cannot find the cause for this and would like to know how to reactivate the color picker. Please advise. Thanks!

Those instructions still work for me - you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'create Apple id' (the instructions won't work with an existing account) when 'buying' the app ?

I have checked "Search for text when I start typing" but it is not happening since your latest update.

I have checked “Search for text when I start typing” but it is not happening since your latest update. This is very important to me as I keyboard - not use the mouse. What can I do? Also, before the last update I could leave the window (alt+tab) and return and just type and it would type it is the search box. Now I have to take my hand off the keyboard and get the mouse three times for every search, slowing my work way, way down. What other flag do I need to put this back the way it was? Should I also remove the “Automatically check for updates” so that this will not happen again? Please, please help.

Hi CynthiaP,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. It may just be an issue with the pref file!

I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

So you bought a plan and used it all and want another one for free? I understand you thought it had more texts or whatnot but they won't do that since you already used the other plan.
That's like going to McDonalds and ordering a double cheeseburger, them giving you a double cheeseburger, you eating it and then realizing you wanted a double quarter pounder and expecting them to give it to you free.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Pick List Value Not Working Properly

Hi Oracle Framework Gurus,
I have a strange Issue in which one of my cusom page is working properly in Jdev and not working Properly when deployed in the apps instance.
There are two custom pages with the same VO.
What I do is have a picklist from one of the custom page and depending on the value of the picklist and I navigate to the other custom page.
This is working properly in the JDev,But for some reasons it works properly in apps instance, when I try to run the first time(ie) when I run page A and pick 'X' from the picklist the Page 'B' is coming properly as per the controller code and when i pick 'Y' from the picklist in Page B, it is navigating to Page A as per the controller code.
This works fine for the first time,But when i again select 'X' from the picklist the proper value from the Picklist is not getting selected and passed to the custom package and so I get wrong values in Page 'B'
What could be the reason for it as it working fine in Jdev,I can navigate from Page A to Page B and Page B to Page A as many times possible.

Hi Above two are the controller codes forget the rest of the codes,Concentrate on the PFR code, Just want to know what I am doing is correct or not.
First time when I select the Picklist value,the value gets passed as a parameter to the custom package and the page gets displayed properly and vice versa,But I am not able to do the same cycle again for some reasons.
Please get back to me ASAP.
Regards,
Magesh.M.K.

My mac book pro fell of my desk, everything seems fine, but the dvd drive is not working properly, any suggestions

My mac book fell of my desk yesterday. All seems well, but I noticed today that the dvd drive is not working properly, it seems to want to keep ejecting the disk even when the disk is out, and it won't accept dvd's any more. Any suggestions o fellow apple users?

Back up EVERYTHING, then take it in to have them assess for any latent damage. Wouldn't want a similar "delayed reaction" from the hard disk drive, would we?
