Displaying Notes in Mailbox Inboxes - Snow Leopard

The Snow Leopard version of Mail (4.0) displays all Notes in the Inbox and in every child mailbox in the Inbox.
Is there any way in stopping this?
They were handy to have when they just lived in 'Notes' but clog up Inboxes and get in the way.

Note: this thread is a duplicate (in terms of question) of one I started at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2131022&tstart=0 - that also has a solution for a likely bug in the way notes are displayed in the Mail 4.0 inbox, regardless of account settings.

  • Notes in Mailboxes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I just upgrade to Snow Leopard. All the Notes I've created on my iPod Touch are now showing up in my Inbox in Mail as well as where its always been, Reminders. I don't want them in my Inbox but when I delete from there it also deletes it from the Reminders.
    Is this a bug or is there a way to turn them off from showing in my Inbox?
    -- Jeff

    To remove Notes from showing up in all you email Inboxes you'll need to uncheck the box "Show Notes in inbox." This is located in the preferences of Mail.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
    For the real font, go to

  • Firefox 36.15 not saving history on Snow Leopard

    Firefox 36.15 not saving history on Snow Leopard. When I go to show all history nothing is saved, settings in preferences is remembering history

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

    I've searched for this particular question.
    I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
    The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
    When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
    However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
    I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
    Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
    Thanks so very much.

    Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
    I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
    This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
    There were no problems with the installation.
    As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Macbook Pro Will Not Boot to Retail Snow Leopard

    I am a PC tech working on a Macboo Pro mid-2010 15" aka MacbookPro6,2 for an acquaintance (really) and I really appreciate any help/tips on this.  As given to me, the MBP was totally non-responsive.  Also, the owner does not have the original DVDs that came with the machine nor did she have the power adapter (long story).
    Here is the summary:  The MBP will not boot to a retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD; it only gets to the light grey screen with the darker grey Apple symbol and no spinning gear.
    Here are the details:
    1. After procuring a new AC adapter and installing a new battery, it would boot up and run but displayed an error with Steam startup.  It connected to the internet via wifi, launched and ran a video dvd, etc, etc.  Looked good except for the Steam error screen.
    2. I went to the Steam website and downloaded the current version.  After the software installed I did a normal shutdown and restart and the MBP would not boot, just went to grey Apple screen and spinning gear.
    3. Booted up in single user, ran fsck -fy which reported "Invalid node structure (4, 24755)" which I understand is not good and it also reported that "The volume Untitled could not be repaired".  Just on a whim I ran the fsck a couple more times not expecting anything different and that's what I got - nothing different.
    4. Power up with Command R.  Goes to grey screen and then tries to boot off of the bad hard drive with previous results.
    5. Talked to Apple Care.  To make it short, they sold me a retail Snow Leopard.
    6. Installed a new blank hard drive (500GB, SATA II, WD Blue) and loaded the Snow Leopard into the Superdrive.
    7. Power up and press C.  Just goes to grey screen and grey Apple.
    8. Power up with Option.  DVD is there, click on it to launch, goes to grey Apple and that's all it does.
    9. Just for grins, I popped in a Windows 7 Recovery DVD and did the power up/option to launch that and the MBP actually loads the Windows files and screen but it will not proceed because Win7 recovery doesn't recognize the MBP.  At least the DVD worked.
    10. Installed a different new blank hard drive and tried to launch Snow Leopard install but no dice.
    11. Just for grins number two, I tried a remote install on my local network.  On initial DVD access, the MBP displays a spinning globe along with the grey Apple, accesses the DVD on the remote laptop three times, but then the spinning globe disappears and everything stops.  I left it for an hour and nothing else happens.
    That is where I am stuck.  I really appreciate any ideas on how to proceed.  I can hear Genius Bar already, but was just wondering if I missed any possible steps to take myself.

    You should have better luck with the correct build, as you can't use the installs as backward compatible. I also have an older machine that is for the kids, and was upgraded with the 10.6.3 retail disk which will not work with the Mid 2010.
    Best of luck, and hope it helps.
    If no luck, you may want to investigate hardware issues, as it should boot and install.

  • MacBook will not sleep automatically since Snow Leopard install

    Hello. I am having a serious issue with my MacBook since upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, 2.4 GHz) will not go to sleep automatically anymore. If I select "Sleep" from the Apple menu it will sleep fine. However, it will not sleep according to my Energy Saver preference pane which says sleep at 1 min each (Display and Computer). Another thing to keep in mind is that my display sleeps perfectly normally. However, the computer itself will not sleep.
    Here are the things that I have tried so far:
    - Reinstall 10.6.2 combo updater
    - Remove Energy Saver preferences and entire System Configuration folder
    - Made sure that no hardware or software is interrupting sleep
    - Reset PRAM and SMC
    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with ALL updates and firmware installed.
    Please help me figure this out as it is a serious issue. Thanks.

  • FCP Studio will not boot up after Snow leopard upgrade.

    Everything was working fine on Leopard but decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Now the program stats up and we get to the splash screen then it quits. Anybody help me? so far Snow Leopard has been a complete waste of time, After effects on Mac will not work now either.

    They all work except FCP 6 and After effects cs3. FCP is my main worry. I have a deadline to finish.

  • Why am I not able to install snow leopard on a new hard drive for my macbook pro, which at one point was upgraded to Lion?

    I've just had my hard drive go caput and after purchasing a new one was inclined to install snow leopard but received an error message when attempting to do so.
    I did not create a back up or restore file before I decided to upgrade from snow leopard.
    I'm wondering why am I not able to simply install snow leopard on a brand new hard drive.  What would clue it into me having had ran lion before and why can't I simply delete that kernel or said file.    It makes completely no sense to me.  I come from a pc world where if I choose to format a hard drive, I can do a clean install of whatever OS I choose.  After all I only paid for my laptop as should be able to do with it what I wish. 
    Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated

    1.  Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
    2.  If so this might be an issue.  Newer machines are done for current OSX.
    3.  If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
    4.  After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
    5.  See if that work. 
    This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

  • My airport on my old MacBook is not working since installing snow leopard.

    I installed snow leopard last week and started having problems maintaining connections to wifi. It got to the point it was not connecting at all. I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail. I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard and have the same problem. I find this very upsetting as I have bought uniquely apple products for the past 13 years. I buy only apple software and I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....

    I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue in case there were things you missed.
    I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....
    I'm a loyal Chevy car owner and I am treated no differently than a first time Chevy owner.  Apple is just like any other huge corporation, they treat all their customers the same.  Doesn't matter if you're loyal or not. 
    Mac OS X (10.6)
    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.  You are seriously outdated for Snow Leopard.

  • Facetime works on iphone but not on mac using snow leopard?

    Face Time is synced to my iphone 4S, and Face Time works on it. But when I try to make calls on my imac (snow leopard) using Face Time, it doesn't work, it says that the 'call failed'. I've turned off Face Time on my iphone, so that the calls will go to the mac only, and calls i make will go from the mac only.
    Any ideas?

    The Version of Snow Leopard is 10.6
    My only thought as to why Facetime is not working is because of the recent changeover to iOS 6.
    Apple are obviously trying to get everyone on to Mountain Lion, but some users, including myself
    prefer to wait a while to let the gremlins get sorted.
    Any ideas on the above will be welcome

  • IDVD not working right with Snow Leopard...a possible fix

    I was having the following issue with iDVD and my new fresh install on a new hard drive of snow leopard 10.6.4:
    iDVD would open to the screen where you chose what you want to do
    I would click create a new project and get to name it
    Nothing would happen but I knew the program was still running. I could see it in the activity monitor
    I would go to quit iDVD and it would ask me to save changes and the beach ball would start spinning and I would have to force quit from the dock
    Then I found this post after looking litterally all day for a fix....these instructions worked for me and my iDVD is now working normally...
    (1) Go this folder:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framew orks/
    (2) There should be 3 aliases there:
    ImageIO.framework
    ImageKit.framework
    QuartzComposer.framework
    (3) In my case, the QuartzComposer.framework was actually a folder. I removed this and created a new alias to
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzComposer .framework
    After making the new alias, iDVD now works just fine. Not sure why this frameworks folder had become damaged like this. I am hoping that there are no negative effects on any of my other applications, but I've kept a backup of the original folder just in case.
    I moed the quartzcomposer folder to 2 levels back and made an alias and put it in the A/frameworks folder and viola...iDVD worked for me! I am a happy mac user now

    Thanks, had exactly the same problem.
    Switched to administrator
    $ su adminusername
    Navigated to the folder
    $ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
    Listed the contents of the folder
    $ ls -le@
    Renamed the folder QuartzComposer.framework
    $ sudo mv QuartzComposer.framework/ QuartzComposer.framework.old/
    Replaced with a symbolic link to the correct framework
    $ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
    iDVD works!!!

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.
