Email alias use - help suggestion doesn't work

When sending mail from my .Mac account (via Safari), I can use either my main account or one of two aliases as the "From". When in Mail (2.1.1), I can only use the main account (the aliases don't show up) - tried the action button help, but it's already checked.
I recently upgraded from an older Mac. Thouht I had copied everything, but something got messed up as this did work on the old Mac. Tried the Help suggestion, "Get Prefs, put alias names in Account Info Name Fiekd, etc" - didn't work. Went back to old Mac to get com.apple.mail.plist file, but it isn't there. Any ideas?? Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks, HNick

Create a new account in Mail for each alias: enter garbage in the POP details (different for each one), but the correct details for SMTP, and give the alias as the address. Make sure that in the 'Advanced' tab, 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' is not checked but that 'Enable this account' is. You may find it better to send using the ISP you are connected to the new with rather thann .Mac.
Now the aliases will appear in the drop-down.

    Hi there,
    Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
    Good wishes,

  • Help system doesn't work !

    Hi there,
    I am trying the Circuit Design Suite 13.0 and the help system doesn't work at all.
    No help from
    The main menu Help -> Multisim help F1
    In all the dialogs with a Help button. Nothing happen if I click the Help button ?
    I use Windows XP SP3 FRENCH and all the installtion went without any problems everything else is working perfectly.
    I checked in the install program if I need to install the help system separately and didn't see anything.
    Any ideas of what's goint on ?
    Thank you, bye.

    Hi Pierre,
    Are you able to manually open the help file?  Go to C:\Porgram files\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 13, the Multisim.chm file is the help file, double click on it and see if it will launch.  If you the file opens and nothing is displayed, google 'unable to open .chm" file, there are lots of instructions how to fix it, here is an example:

  • Please help: Application doesn't work after upgrade to Workshop 8 sp2 from sp1

    Hi,
    Our application worked on workshop 8 sp1. After we upgrade system from sp1 to
    sp2, some of the part doesn't work propertly any more.
    1. netui:select seems not bind form data propertly. For drop down list box in
    forms, although user has chosen something from the drop down list box, the returned
    value in the form is always null.
    2. we use Java script window.open(url,...) to download and view files. After upgrade
    from sp1 to sp2, clients keep getting IE error complaining that "Internet Explore
    can not open this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or can
    not be found. Please try again later", although the server and the files are all
    in local host server.
    Please help. Thanks

    Did you update your workshop application files and recompile your application?
    A few things changed between GA and sp2, some annotations were renamed, and some
    were added.
    If you open up your application in Workshop sp2, it should given you the option
    to upgrade your application.
    Failing that, you may need to go through the code that is not performing as it
    was before and check whether it was not utilising a bug that was fixed in sp2
    and thus causes it to not function correctly now.

  • Smart value help autocomplete doesn't work

    Hello,
    We are using CRM 7.0. We want to provide an autocomplete option for some customer input field.
    We decided to implement it with smart value help (F4) functionality. This customer field belongs to the customer Z view.
    When we use this Z view in the Z component, autocomplete wotks fine but when we use it in the standard component, F4 popup help works but autocomplete (smart value help) doesn't work.
    We would appreciate any help on this issue.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Many programs I used to use in Tiger doesn't work in Leopard

    Here are the ones I've noticed have not been working or have errors:
    iMovie
    iChat
    Yahoo Messenger
    Adium
    VisualHub
    There are probably like 10 more but I haven't seen it yet. Why are so many programs are acting like this. I was thinking it was becasuse it wasn't ugpraded enough but I did install the newer version and it doesn't work.

    Well, haven't we had to deal with a slew of updates every two years?
    And at least Vista x64 is probably more secure, supports EFI (UEFI 2.).
    The same people that would need a Mac Pro (dual cpu, 8GB RAM, etc) would be looking at 64-bit.
    Did not Apple tout the G5 from IBM as finally being a 64-bit system? But yes, even Adobe CS3 is still 32-bit and limited to 3.5GB of user space, which there are work arounds for.
    One person I tried to help was using Maya but his version doesn't work with Leopard, and blames Apple and 10.5 it seems, rather than realize he needs to consider an 8-core system rather than 4-core, more memory, make better use of disk and RAID, and of course... upgrade software or... WAIT FOR MAYA AND 10.5.x to catch up to each other!
    People assume you have to wait for SP1 for Windows, but think they should jump rigtht in, when we all have seen that X.3 is usually the first "sweet spot" in any release.

  • Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

    You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
    Is this as good as it gets?
    Hypnoguy

    Hypnoguy,
    Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
    Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
    Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
    64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
    32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
    Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
    Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
    A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Hope that helps,

  • NEED HELP ( sound doesn't work )

    Hello, i such a problem:
    i've bought a new computer P4 MSI motherboard whith OB sound card.
    After installing windows,my speakers doesn't work.In hardware devices there are 3 quastion signs :
    ? other divices
    ? Ethernet controller
    ? multimedia controller
    I tried to use update driver ( unistall and install too) but it didn't
    solve the problem.
    What can i do ?

     Go into your BIOS settings .......Integrated Peripherals  and "Enable":
                            1.  On Board Audio Chip
                             2.  AC  97 Audio ( whatever you have)
       * Verify your speakers are connected to the correct audio outputs.
        ** If the above is ok..... you should be able to install your drivers in 'Device Manager' in conjuction with your MSI CD as stated earlier.

    Sometimes just closing and reopening the Help window will clear up the problem. If it doesn't, log out or restart the computer and try again. Otherwise, you may need to delete the Help cache.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
    If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
    A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with satellite networks. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.

  • How do you create an email alias using iOS device

    I want to create an email alias, I have a MacBook and an iPhone but I can't figure out how to do it on either. As far as I can tell the only way I have been able to access the icloud mail preferences is through icloud.com however you can't access icloud.com on any iOS device. I've been trying to figure it out all day so would really appreciate any help

    You should be able to access it from Safari on your MacBook, or another computer.
    You can only access it on an iOS device if you use an altrenative browser like iCabMobile Web Browser, and set the Browser ID in the app's settings to Safari (Mac).

  • Spell check and word suggestion doesn't work Droid 4

    My wife and I both have Motorola Droid 4s. I have had mine for almost a year, and she has had hers just a week. After I factory reset mine to fix a spell check problem, I noticed that the spell check still doesn't automatically fix errors, and there is no word suggestion. Her's is doing the same thing. When I looked for this issue online, I found numerous other Motorola Droid 4 owners having the same problem.
    Since we text a LOT, this is certainly a major inconvenience. We would like to know if there is a fix for this issue, is it OS version and phone specific, and when an update/fix can be expected.
    Thank you for your time!

    Let me know if there is other information I can include. Thanks again!

    The settings you gave me are the same as I and my wife have set except for the keyboard and input methods. For us, android is checked but disabled (gray), moto chinese input is checked, and swype is checked but disabled and gray. Same as it was when spell check and suggestions didn't work. Now ours is working but what is really interesting is that we never changed anything since it wasn't working. We just woke up the day after posting this and it was working. Hmm. I left the moto chinese checked because why tempt fate?
    Thank you for your reply and information.  That fact is, my spell check worked for a year and then suddenly it did not. My wife's didn't even out of the box, then the day after I post, ours works perfect. Coincidence? Who cares. =)

  • Help~~Apache doesn't work!!

    I've just installed Oracle9i application server 1.0.2.2.2a with Oracle 8.1.7 on win2000.
    But Appache doesn't work.
    The error message is following...
    No such file or directory: Config file wdbsvr.app inaccessible thru env var WV_GATEWAY_CFG
    Because I'm a beginner I have no idea why it doesn't work.
    Please help me....
    Thanks in advance...
    Brad

    It is exactly what the error message says:
    No such file or directory: Config file wdbsvr.app inaccessible thru env var WV_GATEWAY_CFG
    this is how to fix:
    1. Right click on 'My computer' > Properties > click on the 'Advanced' tab > click on 'Environmental Variables'.
    2. Under System Variables, go to the last line 'WV_GATEWAY_CFG'
    3. Your variable Value should be C:\ORACLE\iSuites\Apache\modplsql\cfg\wdbsvr.app
    Make sure your drive letter and installation path are correct.
    4. Restart your computer. Apache should work.
    Good Luck.

  • The Flash Help Search doesn't work

    Do I need to reinstall my flash ? I installed flash 8
    professional on my machine about a month ago. i have just noticed
    that the search button in the help section doesn't do anything.
    what should i do?
    All the help content is there but the only way i can find
    help on the topic I need is by searching through all the books
    which is obviously not very efficient.

    I was having the same problem on one of my Macs. I resolved it by removing the two help preference files in my ~/Library/Preferences folder.
