Default Account for Notes & To Do's?

Is there a way to have new to do's and notes appear in a default email account? Mine seem to go to random locations, including "on my Mac."

In Mail, go to Preferences... Composing... and change the option next to "Create Notes and To Do's in:" to a specific account.
It defaults to "Account of last viewed mailbox" hence the perceived randomness.

  • How do I modify the default account for events in iCal?

    I have several email accounts (for biz&home) and I want to use them, depending on the event, as the account from where an invitation from iCal is sent. So if a have a football game with friends, I want to use my personal account when sending an iCal event. But when I want to make a biz meeting, I want to use my work account in that invitation. How or where can I make these selections/options appear? Is it possible?
    If not, how can I set the default account for invitations in iCal? (I already have a "default" account in Mail, but iCal is not using that account for invitations).
    Any help is appreciated

    Hi salazar2,
    Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. I founded a company in 2009 called Zamain that is focused on making Mac calendaring more productive. Our first product, Zamain for Mac, solves your problem as well as Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange incompatibilities. The current version includes the following features:
    * Sends iCal invitations that Outlook users can actually open
    * Sends invitations from any email account
    * Lets you add comments to invitation replies
    * Makes timezones actually work
    * Prevents weird attachments from appearing in your invitation emails
    Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. We have a happy user base, are actively developing new solutions, and are always open to suggestions.
    You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
    Thanks!

  • No default account for contacts

    Hello
    Iphone 4s with ios 7.0.4, no jail.
    I have carddav account with baikal server and want to have default contacts from it. But the "default account" for contact is disappeared
    Please, somebody tell me when I wrong?
    Thank You

    If you do not have a "Default Account" box it is because only one account for the contacts exists on your device.

  • Mail using weird default account for new mail

    I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion, and am having some trouble with Mail.
    I have five email accounts: Comcast, two Gmail-based and two on an independent company's servers (Pair Networks).
    When I'm in one of my inboxes and send a new email, the sending account is set correctly to that of the selected account. Likewise, if I respond to an email the sending account is set correctly.
    BUT - if I am anywhere else and send a new email - unified inbox, local folder of filed mail, etc. - the sending account appears as a sixth option that doesn't exist in my settings anywhere. The dropdown to select a sender account now shows six options instead of the usual five, and this is the last one, and is selected.
    The email address for that account happens to be the same as one of my accounts, but the name shown is strange.
    The original account reads like:
    Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>
    This weird sixth account reads like:
    "Firstname Lastname (s)" <[email protected]>
    - adding quotes around the name and a parentheses s at the end of the name.
    The original account is not the first in the list, nor the last. It is second. The first is a Gmail account - not sure if that is relevant.
    iCloud is not enabled for Mail - all my devices do their own connecting to mail.
    Soooo.....hmmm. What do folks think? Is there somewhere I should be able to set an overall default account, when a sending account can't be determined based on the selected folder?

    "Account of selected mailbox"
    The bogus account doesn't appear in the list. The original (Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>) does appear, as the second option in the dropdown list.

  • Always use default account for replays and forwards

    Dear All,<o:p></o:p>
    I have the next setup:<o:p></o:p>
    .- Two different pop account using the same .pst file, by default outlook use the account and emails is received as the from account
    when replying and forwarding that email.<o:p></o:p>
    I need to always reply and forward from the default account even when the emails is received by the other pop.
    Thanks in advanced.<o:p></o:p>

    Hi Daniel,
    Edit the SMTP (Outgoing Server Settings) server information and assign the details of second email address through which you want to send email.
    You can also use the given VB code to perform this task:
    Set oMail = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1).Reply

  • How do I set up a default account for my calendar events?

  • When I send an email the Iphone 5 IOS 8.1.3 takes an account I dont want to use, How can I use a default account for all the message I send, includes pics?

    Although I select hotmail as my default account (it´s my personal) Iphone always takes my corporative account to send my emails when I attach a pic, video, or any attachments. I want the Iphone always use my personal account (hotmail) to send all the attachments.

    Settings->Mail, Contacts,Calendars->Mail->Default Account should be set to the one you want to use.
    You can also, when attaching Pics, Tap on the CC/Bcc From Line and then on From to choose an account to send the pictures from.

  • Setting default account for sending email

    I have 4 accounts I use for sending email, but would like to have one be the default and can't figure how to do that. there is a check box next to the outgoing server dropdown that says use only this account. I don't think that is what I want, nor am i clear what that would do.
    Is there a way to set a preferred outgoing account?
    Does that require a plug in or helper app of some sort.
    thanks for any suggestions.

    In Mail>Preferences>Composing:
    Use Send new messages from: to select an account.

  • After Restoring with Migration Assistant internet accounts are not working properly

    Hello!
    My Macbook Pro's HDD fried a week ago, so I swapped it for a new one. I had a backup from about 30mins before the issue happened, so I thought everything would go fine with Time Machine. Well, not quite. After installing Mac OS X Mavericks from the Disk Utility and telling the system to apply the latest backup on Migration Assistant during the installation, everything started up the way I left it, but several problems showed up and I have been trying to troubleshoot them.
    Issues:
    1. I used to have Facebook, Twitter and two Gmail accounts logged via the Internet Accounts preferences. Used the gmail accounts for notes, contacts and calendars. Now, they all show up on the menu, but when I click on any of them it tells me they aren't connected and asks me for their password. When I put it down, it gives me an "Unable to verify account" message. If I delete the accounts and try to reinsert them, I get the same message. What's even more weird: When I restart, they are all there again.
    2. Notes doesn't update properly. It shows me all the notes up until like 4 weeks ago, and whenever I even click on the app's window, it tells me it can't connect to Gmail and asks me for its password again. Several other apps that require syncing, like Calendar, have the same issue.
    Troubleshooting attempts:
    1. It's not a problem with these accounts, as I've been able to  sync them no problem if I create a new user. But I had some serious work being done and I don't really want to get a fresh start.
    2. I tried doing a clean install and when the Migration Assistant showed up I asked to transfer everything except personal documents and data. It worked, but I lost all my personal files that are not on dropbox (not many, but there were a few important things). Also the wifi didn't connect at all, kept saying it was self assigning an IP or whatever. This did not happen before.
    3. Not using migration assistant at all, but restarting the system and restoring a time machine backup, even an earlier one from that same day. Mac gets stuck on spinning wheel during boot :/
    This killed my weekend's productivity already, as each clean install and time machine restoring takes 3hrs+. I don't know what to do at this point.
    Macbook Pro, Early 2011, 13". Old HDD 320gb, new one 500gb. OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 (the backup is from 10.9.3)

    ragob66,
    Welcome to the Apple discussions!
    Try this:
    *Accessing Time Machine Backups From Another User Account or Computer*
    Yes, you can do this using the Time Machine interface.
    Attach the drive containing the TM backups to your computer.
    Control-click the TM icon in the dock and select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks...".
    Highlight the desired disk and click “Use Selected Disk”. This will now allow you to browse those TM backups via the ‘time travel’ window. From here you can restore what files you need access to. Bear in mind that any files moved will have the permissions of that previous user account. Thus you may be prompted for the user name and password of that previous account. However, once verified you should be able to adjust “Sharing & Permissions” in the files “Get Info” window.
    Let us know if this resolved your issue.

  • Mail Always Opens to Default Account

    Whenever I open the mail application, it opens to the inbox of my default account and not the main screen showing all inboxes.  While this may not seem like a big deal, it does create an extra step in that I have to go back one screen to get to "All Inboxes." 
    I've checked the settings and am not sure how to eliminate this issue.  I am running iOS5 on the iPhone 4S.
    Thanks in advance.
    Russell

    Exact same problem here. iPhone 4S with ios5. Always opens to top email accoutn in list, not default account, and not "All Inboxes" which would be preferred. Have seen a few suggestions but no solutions. Anyone?

  • Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not.  Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

    I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone.  However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine.  That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone.  When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.'  Help!

    Hello Marsha,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here.  If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below.  Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • GL account given in Default Settings for Items is not taking precedence

    Hi All,
    Could you please give your valuable inputs for my query
    Which takes precedence....GL account given in Default Settings for Items at the top of the shop screen or the Product category and GL account assignment maintained in SRM GUI?
    Scenario: I input a GL account in 'Default Settings for Items' at the top of the shop screen. Then click on Describe Requirements. Here I change the Product Category and add the line item to shopping cart.
    What GL account will appear in the cost assignment? Default value maintained at the top or the value maintained in the Product category table.
    Thanks
    Deepthi....

    Hi Muthu,
    Thank you for your response.
    It is not picking the default G/L account assigned to cost center( I believe you are talking abt OKB9 trans). It is picking the G/L account which is assigned to the product category in the customising. This is happenning only if the product category is changed for the line item while adding the item to shopping cart. Otherwise the same G/L account given at the header is appearing in the line item too.
    Also While changing the G/L#  information in Default settings for items at top, if Cost center is also changed then the same cost center is appearing in the cost assignment section for the line item but not the G/L.
    Wanted to know if this is a standard design or not. I would like to have the header data to take precedence over the product category and G/L assignment. Any suggestions please
    No ..... I checked in csks table.There are many cost centers for the company code.
    Thanks
    Deepthi..

  • I use icloud email but (2 email accounts univ and icloud) and i need to have all my outgoing emails come "from" my university account, not my icloud.  So how do i do that, note checking the default box for sending new messages only applies to new messages

      I am using icloud email but i also have a university account.  All my email is fowarded to my icloud account and what i need to do is make sure all of my email that i ship is from my university account and not from my icloud account.  I know there is a box that allows the default for all new emails to originate from one account but how do i make sure that all my replies to email (i.e. they have been fowarded from university account to icloud) now go from my university account.  please help anyone. 

    Sorry for the delayed response, yes i want to use my university account when replying to all emails.  Note i just discovered something, when i forward my university email to my icloud account and than responded from either my imac of my macbook air (i.e. in icloud) it automatically goes to my university account in the "from" space (good news!!!).  That is just what i wanted, .  While that is the good news, the bad news is that my iphone and ipad still treat this email as being from icloud even though it is forwarded (redirected) from my university account.  That is when i respond to an email (or for that matter create a new email in my icloud account) it automatically lists the icloud account as the "from" account and i have to go in and manually modify it.  So i am 50% there to solving my problem (i.e. actually did nothing the systems just worked well) but i still need to figure out a way to make this happen on my ipad and iphone. Any help or suggestions, note the default button in the iphone and ipad for email work differently than the default in the composition menu of the imac or macair.

  • The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

    When I try to log on to my DC it says "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". It won't let me log on. I installed another server server 2012r2  (its virtual )
    and I can get to ADSI edit. 
    I think what happened was I had a pc that could not connect without unplugging the network cable. So I found this fix 
    FIX: “The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”2032011
    I’ve seen a lot of solutions, or suggestions rather, with regard to the error in the title of this post.  In my experience, the problem can almost always be resolved without extra domain add/removes and reboots, which is the most prevalent solution I have
    seen around.  Usually, this issue is due to a mismatch between attributes of the computer account in Active Directory and those values on the system itself.  Here are the steps I take to fix this issue when it crops up:
    Open up Active Directory Users & Computers pointed to the domain the computer account resides in
    From the “View” pull-down menu, make sure that “Advanced Features” is checked
    Navigate to the part of your organizational unit (OU) structure where the computer account for this server resides
    Open the Properties for the computer object
    Choose the “Attribute Editor” tab on the Properties dialog box
    Check the Attributes dNSHostName & servicePrincipalName – anywhere that a fully qualified hostname is specified (e.g. myserver.mydomainname.com), make sure that the entry matches the hostname
    you have configured when you go here on your server: Start -> Computer -> Right-Click, Properties -> Change Settings (under “Computer name, domain… settings”) -> Full Computer Name
    As an example, for a fictitious W2K8 R2 server whose Full Computer Name is “srv1.mydomainname.com”, these attribute/value pairs should be in Active Directory:
    dNSHostName:
    srv1.mydomainname.com
    servicePrincipalName:
    HOST/SRV1
    HOST/srv1.mydomainname.com
    RestrictedKrbHost/SRV1
    RestrictedKrbHost/srv1.mydomainname.com
    TERMSRV/SRV1
    TERMSRV/srv1.mydomainname.com"
    Not reading it carefully I add a computer with the same name as the pc having the issue and followed the above. The problem is that I did not notice that the spn did not want the name of my server (serv1) but the name of the trouble
    pc.
