Does Mail need to be opened to recieve notifications?

Like the question says, do I need to open Mail to recieve these notifications or is there a way to recieve these even though Mail is closed?

Yes, unlike in iOS, Mail needs to be open to receive notifications.

  • Does Mail need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

    I love the notifications feature in Mavericks, and in particular, I like that incoming emails pop up like in iOS. My question is, does Mail app need to be open for emails to appear in Notifications?

    On the Mac, Mail needs to be open to be notified of incoming Mail. I tend  to leave the app open all the time, just collapsed into the Dock, getting notified by Notification Centre as emails arrive and leaving a red badge on the Mail icon in the Dock if Mail arrived whilst I was away.

  • Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream?

    Hi,
    My photostream is linked to Aperture.  Does Aperture need to be open to import from photo stream or will it still import while it's not running?
    Thanks!
    Mavericks 10.9
    Aperture 3.5

    Might seem silly but is there any way to request a daemon be created to handle this magically in the background? Or open and push iPhoto to the background so I don't know its running?

  • Why does FC need to be open?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this one's easy, but I can't seem to find out why FC needs to be open while Compressor is running. I'd like to send my one project to be rendered in the background, while I satrt on another, but I can't seem to do that. I like coffee breaks, but...
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm guessing that I should QT it uncomressed?
    No, you should just export it using Current Settings, as a reference movie (not self-contained), and with DVD Studio Pro Markers included. This is all under the Export -> QuickTime Movie... menu item. However, do not confuse this with the Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion method, which in this situation you do not want to use.
    One warning, since you are exporting as a reference movie (not self-contained) make certain that you don't delete or move any of the assets that your export requires until after the compression job is done. You can continue to edit, just don't delete (from your disk) any of the source video that you used in your exported sequence.
    Finally, once the job has been sent to Batch Monitor you don't need to leave Compressor open.

  • Does Mail have to be open to receive messages?

    Hey guys
    Does Mail have to be running to check and get messages?
    Thanks

    Depending on your mail service, there are frequently small utilities that can periodically check your mail server and give you a pop-up notice that there is new mail, and then you can launch Mail to look at it.
    For example, Google's GMail can be check by several utilities, including Google's own "Google Notifier".
    Try doing a search over at MacUpdate.com for mail checking utilities.

  • Does iTunes need to be open for home sharing to work?

    It seems that not only does my mac need to be on (duh) but I must also launch iTunes in order to access content from my iMac. Is this the case?

    James,
    That is correct. iTunes must be started.
    Cheers

  • Does Itunes need to be open on my Mac for other computers to access the Library?

    I have my Mac set to wake for network, but if I don't have Itunes open it seems none of the other computers can access the library. I don't keep Itunes open when I'm not using it, because I spend most of my time in Aperture and the software seems to compete for resources, with Itunes slowing my Aperture program down significantly. Ideally, I'd like to have Itunes closed on my machine but have other Mac's in the house still able to access the library. I've tried importing the library to other macs, but it's far too large.

    Yes.

  • Does Premiere need to stay open after exporting into media encoder

    After using the Export Media option to get my sequence into the Media Encoder, Premiere was closed accidently. This happened after 9 hrs of rendering and according to the encoder estimate I have 20 more hours to go. Is there a reason to restart if it is still running?

    No. You can close PR while AME is running, no problem, no interference.

  • Does router telnet port need to be open?

    We are a small office whose computers connect to the internet through a Netopia Cayman series router (ethernet). No IT guy ---it was set up by "that phone guy" several years ago who said the firewall was set up. can't find any written manuals at the moment.
    when I got my new iMac I decided to check out the firewall at work from home. Port scan said that port 23-telnet was open. I telnetted to the ip address and guessed the login info on the third try (wasn't changed from what came with).
    1. I know i need to change the password -- but do ieven need to have the port open? We have no need to access the office network from outside. And how do I close it? The firewall is operating in something called ClearSailing mode.
    2. Because i don't have a manual, I am wandering around inside the router trying to figure out what all the terms mean without hurting anything. How do I determine whether port forwarding was ever activated?
    3. I checked the log. Entries of the following types appear a lot. Do they indicate anything untoward has been happening?

    Does the port need to be open? yes - otherwise you have no way of managing the router.
    However, does it need to be open to anyone, anywhere? absolutely not.
    The port should be open only to people on the internal network, and not accessible to random internet users.
    Usually there is some option to configure that within the router, but you'd need the router documentation to be able to determine the specific commands. What you need to ensure is that you don't lock out the admin access altogether since then you'd be stuck.
    As for the logs, it's hard to tell. The HTTP lines could indicate remote users accessing the router via HTTP (did you check whether the router has a HTTP interface, too?). Those IP addresses don't translate to known web sites, so it's unlike that they are outgoing connections. If they are incoming connections then you need to lock down the web access port in the same way as telnet, above.
    The SNMP could be a problem, depending on where the request is coming from.
    The chances are it's some automated probe looking for systems to compromise (in which case you should shut down SNMP as well as HTTP and telnet).
    SNMP has valid uses, but if you're not using it right now you won't be missing anything by turning it off.
    Finally, the 'Dest Unreachable' messages aren't likely to be a problem -since they're sourced from the router, that implies those were connections initiated from inside the network, but that were unable to reach their target. I think the other issues are of more concern.

  • Does the server app need to stay open?

    Probably a dumb question, but do I need to keep the Server.app running at all times?
    Our server is a Mac Mini that doubles as a workstation.  Do I only need the Server app to set up/ start/ manage services, or does it need to be open all the time?

    Server.app is "just" the GUI interface to the services.  You can start or stop Server.app as and when needed.  The services themselves won't be effected.

  • Power Nap: Apps need to be opened?

    Hi,
    I know that Mail needs to be opened to receive mails while in Power Nap. Same thing as while my mac is awake.
    But what about all the other Apps?
    And in general: Do I need to leave the App Store open to receive automatic system updates?
    Thank you guys.

    I'm not convinced it does software updates.  It says it does: email, calendar and other iCloud updates.
    I've seen no sign of software updates being applied and I've been running this "awhile".

    You don't need iDVD unless you are going to make DVDs. If you are just trying to share files, iDVD won't help you at all.
    What you want to do is in iMovie, choose File/Share/File, and export that way. It creates an .mp4 file that should be readable on Macs or Windows.
    You could also File/Share/YouTube if you don't mind posting them to YouTube, because of course YouTube videos are watchable by any Mac or Windows computer made in the last 10 years.

  • What Ports Does Mail Open, and Why?

    Mavens of Mac Mail Internals,
    While trying to debug my lightly-loaded-yet-consumed-by-spinning-beach-balls 27" iMac running OS X 10.8.4...I've observed in Activity Monitor that Mail has 33 threads and 496 ports in use.
    Huh?
    Why would Mail possibly need so many ports open? What ports? What kind of ports?
    Are all the ports Mail is using the same type of port as 25, 587, or 993...or, is Activity Monitor reporting the system's consumption of another type of port? Or...what?
    And...what's typical? How many threads and ports should Mac Mail have running and open at any point in time?
    Baseline: My Mail setup is provisioned for 8 GMail mailboxes, 1 Hotmail mailbox, 1 Google Apps (Mail) mailbox, and 1 company mailbox.
    Objective: Trying to determine what relationship Mail has, if any, on the increasing number of spinning beach balls infecting my system.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance! Much, much appreciated,
    Plane Wryter

    Ahh!
    So...Is Activity Montior reporting on the number of open IPC (Inter-process Communication) ports?
    Is that what's going on?
    Would this explain why coreaudiod has 1,077 ports open?
    If so, any idea as to why? Why does either Mail or Coreaudio need so many internal ports open?
    BIG THANKS for the insight and clarification.
    Best,
    Plane Wryter

  • Why does Mail open in guest account but not my account since upgrade to Mavericks?

    I've read a lot of threads but not found anything that works for me. The history is this:
    I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since then, Mail won't open in my own user account. I only get a very brief error message:
    Process:   
    Mail [1448]
    Path:       
    /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
    Identifier: 
    com.apple.mail
    Version:   
    7.2 (1874)
    Build Info: 
    Mail-1874000000000000~1
    Code Type: 
    X86-64 (Native)
    Parent Process:  launchd [157]
    Responsible:
    Mail [1448]
    User ID:   
    I have gone to user/Library/Mail and deleted the contents of the folder Mailboxes + all the other mailboxes. No change - Mail still won't open.
    If I switch user accounts to guest user, Mail opens normally (sets up email accounts etc).
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Rebooted in safe mode, repaired disc permissions, rebooted (again in safe mode) but no difference.
    There was a bit more detail I could / should have added.
    1) Before it crashes, Mail says it is Upgrading your Mail database.
    2) I downloaded Mail update but Installer said none of the drives were compatible. (Anyway Mail works fine in Guest Account)
    3) I've been through all the tips on this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490745#23490745http://
    and
    looked at Internet accounts in Preferences and none of my email accounts is checked with Mail. It asks for a password for each one but when I provide it I get the message Unable to verify account name or password. And if I try and uncheck iCloud with Mail I get the message that I need to do that from within Mail. (Obviously not possible until I can open Mail).
    In Terminal tried defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList but got the message that it hadn't been done.
    Tried to find Envelope.x.x files as per this fix:     Final solution: Go into ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes > Delete all mailboxes. Then go to ~Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete 3 or more "Envelope.x.x" files > Restart Mail, and enjoy your success.     but don't have a V2 folder nor Envelope.x.x files. I do have Envelope Index file and Envelope Index - journal
    I don't suspect 3rd party applications because I think they are all available in the Guest Account aren't they?
    Many thanks for your reply though. Any more ideas?

  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.
