Email issues with PC users

I am a web project manager and email daily with both PC & Apple users. I use Apple Mail as my default program. I have had countless issues with the formatting of my email appearing differently to PC users on Outlook when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails. I try to stick with plain text but sometimes Rich Text is required.
My current issue is orphan "B" characters are appearing through out the body of my email text when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails to PC users. This is NOT visible at all in my Apple mail program. This does not occur in plain text. I recently switched to sending in UTF-8 format - could this be the issue and if so what is the best solution.
I am interested in feedback on the best way to efficiently communicate with PC users using mail and what the appropriate configurations to do so would be. I really don't want to have to switch from Apple mail to use another program but when dealing with co-workers and clients who are not tolerant of these errors I must find a solution.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Email accounts with same user id

Hi,

Is it not possible to create 2 different accounts with same user id ? please help me to solvwe this issue

She can't. She needs to setup her own AppleID and then create an iCloud account using that.
You can still continue to share your existing AppleID for iTunes and App Store purchases.

IPad Email issues with the new iOs4

Well I guess downloading and being the first one to use these software rollouts is not a great idea. I have an iPad with WiFi and 3G. I rely heavily on my iPad for email. Here are the issues that I can concur with other users:
1. Main email account sometimes sends email and sometimes gets hung up. If I switch off the wifi and turn it back on or 3G it will send out. If I cc a copy to myself it sometimes winds up in a spam folder. This is a Yahoo email account.
The solution: open the Yahoo email account in Safari and view as a web page. To send emails shut the wifi off and turn it on see if that "reboots" the email.
Apple must come up with an email fix to this ASAP -- it is possible there is a compatibility issue with Yahoo and the new iOS4 or the Mobile Me that I downloaded
2. Email in the "drafts" folder cannot be sent or moved to the "inbox" to resend when ready
3. Emails being sent to my Yahoo account are received

Response to hils26, 11/25/10: I am having ongoing issues of a similar nature. For lack of a better word, I would describe it as "leeching". Before upgrading to ios4, my drafts were being readdressed to an addressee in the next saved draft; sometimes the subject line was changed as well (subject of the next saved draft). Before I noticed, I had sent several personal emails to an unintended addressee.
Now I find that the subjects are being changed in my inbox emails. I cannot even describe the strange emails I find in my yahoo inbox and sent folders...they appear to be spam offers sent to myself and several others from my address book.
This is not only potentially embarrassing; the security breach can affect business conducted via email...which is the primary use for my iPad.
Is this happening to anyone else?

Browser and email issues with OS 10.9.4

Had a problem that I thought had been solved. See thread here: Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
Now a week or so later, it's back. Same symptoms. I have followed the procedure posted by Linc Davis. Anybody have further ideas?
Don Hutchins

If you are using Safari, try going to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and set the develop menu to show. Go to the develop menu and select Empty Caches.
If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari/Remove all web site data.
For Mail, try:
Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

Logitech Keyboard Issues with Fast User Switching

I'm running OSX 10.4 on an 800 MHz iMac, and using a Logitech Cordless Navigator keyboard. The keyboard's main feature (for me) is the ability to have the function keys (F1-F12) automatically open applications and folders and such. When I have multiple accounts running though, this feature seems to be tied to whichever one I first logged into. If I switch accounts and try to use one of the keyboard shortcuts nothing happens where I am, but when I switch back to the original account I find that the keyboard has opened the program there. The keyboard types fine in the new account, and I can even change the preferences so the function keys do different things in the different accounts, but the extra functionality seems to be only available for whichever account logs in first.
I realize this may just be a Logitech bug, but any ideas how to fix this? (Also even though I'm the only one using my computer this seems like a mild security issue, if theoretically another user could activate programs on my account without the password.)
800 MHz iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 768 MB RAM

Logitech support is frustrating:
Dear tajmahall14,
Thank you for your recent inquiry about your Keyboards.
I understand you are having issues with the settings for the function keys becoming non-functional when fast switching from one user account to another.
Depending on the system configuration, the Fast User Switching may or may not work. Unfortunately this is not an issue I can address. You may need to contact Apple to see if they have a possible solution to your problem.

Firefox issues with multiple users on a single computer.

I have an issue with Firefox and multiple users on my computer. There are two users setup and I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64. When the other user logs in, my settings in Firefox get screwed up somehow. Even if that user does not open Firefox.
Examples of problems this causes:
Gmail - Cannot load the standard interface, however it will load the HTML only interface.
Facebook - Cannot post anything.
vBulletin Forums - Some forums will no longer normally load - a text-only version loads as if I was browsing from a mobile device.
There may be other issues, but these are the main ones. If I clear my cookies, cache and browsing and download history, then restart Firefox, everything works again.
This seems to happen most often when the other user logs in, and uses Firefox to log on to their Gmail account.
How can I fix this?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Issue with "unknown user type 6" on Coherence 3.5.2

Having an issue with a cluster which is running using an internally developed cluster starter tool. This tool, and the associated cluster, all use POF, and upon attempting to connect a non-storing member to the cluster from java, the following exception is raised...

There is no serialiser configured in the cache config, instead we just set tangosol.pof.enabled=true, and set the pof config file to what is seen above. The thing which is very confusing about this error is that unlike other clients which we connect, and in fact the servers they connect to, this client never attempts to load the cache configuration file. The point at which this should happen, prior to pof loading, shows:
2011-07-11 15:54:57.260/1.391 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.2/463p2 <Info> (thread=Main Thread, member=n/a): Loaded cache conf
iguration from "jar:file:/C:/Program%20Files/Oracle/coherence/3.5.2b463P2/lib/coherence.jar!/reports/report-group.xml"
I have tried every combination of classpath entries I can think of, and no matter what, it never shows an attempt to load the application-cache-config.xml supplied in the startup. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

I guess your non-storing JAVA code does not specify -Dtangosol.pof.enabled=true and the -Dtangosol.pof.config =<POF file location> on joining the cluster. Post the startup java command and the complete logs.
If application-cache-config is not loaded then coherence-cache-config.xml should be loaded by default and set -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=<application-cache-config>

Issue with create user and issue with Java Development tab

I have two issues with EP,
1. When i login with Super Admin user, i am unable to Create any user from User Admin tab. Do i have to change the settings of the Super Admin? or is there any criteria for creating the user?
2. How to assign any user the Java Development tab. Though i login with a super admin user i am unable to see the Java Development role and when tried to assign the role, there were no searches for that Java....

Hi Adi,
by default the super administrater has got all permissions. Thus you should be able to create portal users when using a user assigned to the portal group Administrators.
In order to help you with your first question we need more information. Please describe the malfunction in detail. Have a look into the log files and post related error messages.
Regarding your second question: You will find the java development role in PCD
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.pct.pdk/Roles/com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper.
If not, then you haven't installed the PDK business package in your portal.
Go to service.sap.com, choose downloads and search the package (PDK should do it). Download the package, and deploy on your portal using SDM.
Best regards,
Martin

SSAS issue with Domain user account

Hi
I have SSAS 2008 R2 set up running on Windows Server 2012 Standard.
The server is registered as a part of domain.
I have had an issue of domain user accounts accessing to a cube and it's starting to get worse. There has been no problem with a local user account (I set up a few for testing purpose).
I ran the role report from BIDS Helper and it finds all the domain user accounts invalid.
It looks like SSAS is not talking well with the domain server (Windows 2003 server standard) to verify user credentials. But the thing is that everyone is ok with the domain server except for SSAS. IT does not have a clue what's going on here and everything
is just pointing at me right now.
I'd like to know if there is anyway to monitor that communication between SSAS and domain server for user credential verification and any guideline on how to resolve it. Most of time, it just works again.. like 10 minitues later.. it resolves by itself.
But this time, not!!!
All I know is that 1. Registering the server as a part of domain 2. use domain user account to set the security.
MY IT department has set up network monitoring tool and says that they are 100% percent working (No connection loss. It's monitoring Active directory as well). The application installed is 'ManageEngine Applications Manager'
I don't know what to do here.
P.S Will it be related something like 'Error
while Add user to SSAS Server - The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed' but it's all the domain accounts including mine are not working.
Cheers!!!

First check your DNS servers setting on the server you have SSAS installed. You should only use the IP addresses of the DNS servers (e.g. Domain Controllers) of your domain. Active Directory relies on proper DNS server settings. Adding public DNS servers,
even if they are on the bottom of the list, will mess up name resolving Active Directory names. This should have been done when IT had provisioned the server. Same goes for own workstation if you run your development/management software not on the server.
Second make sure SSAS is running under a service account that has access to Active Directory. This can be either a domain account, the local system account, or the network service account. Running SSAS under a local account or the local service account will
not work because local accounts do not have access to Active Directory. Running SSAS under either a Managed Service Account or a Virtual Account will not work because those features require the domain at least the Windows Server 2008 R2 functional
level.
Third make sure the account you use to log on to SSAS is a domain account and has appropriate permissions in SQL Server and SSAS. Local accounts and SQL Server account do not have access to Active Directory

Issue with AD users restricted to certain machines.

Hi all,
So, we seem to have a bit of an issue with user accounts that are restricted to logging in to certain machines only. While the user is permitted to log in to the machine (Windows lets them), our ISE server denies the login and the trace looks like this:
24430 Authenticating user against Active Directory
24441 Account not permitted to log on using the current workstation
22057 The advanced option that is configured for a failed authentication request is used
22061 The 'Reject' advanced option is configured in case of a failed authentication request
11823 EAP-MSCHAP authentication attempt failed
12305 Prepared EAP-Request with another PEAP challenge
11006 Returned RADIUS Access-Challenge
5411 No response received during 120 seconds on last EAP message sent to the client
Has anyone seen this?
Version 1.1.1.268.
Thanks!
-Ryan

Well, as soon as I posted this, the idea hit me.
We added the two ISE servers' machine accounts in AD to the machines that this user is permitted to log in to, and it works like a charm now. Apparently when a user logs in, ISE passes through a generic machine name (of itself) to AD, and it wasn't matching the list of allowed machines.

Firefox Web Browser connectivity and email issues with Comcast connection

I have been having an issue with Firefox conecting through Comcast both to xfinity home and especially to email for the past 2 to 3 months. I finally solved the problem. Comcast requires no proxy setting. To solve the problem go to Firefox Tools, click on Options, click on the tab Advanced. Click on Settings, the check the box for "No proxy". Click Ok. And that did it! Am I glad. Reading email was getting very tedious with all the waiting.

I'm glad you got it worked out and are now able to enjoy the email reading experience more. Great problem solving!

Finder Wants Permission Every time File is moved on Server (issue with multiple users)

The Situation: I have a team of seven coworkers that uses a file structure on a server to move job folders from the 'active jobs' folder to "coworker x's" folder and then to a "waiting" folder once the job has been completed. Pretty much just moving folders into different folders. Seems pretty simple.
The Problem: At times, some folders will not move from one folder to another, and a message pops up asking "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this" and then it shows my computer's name and asks for a password. Now if typing in the password meant that the file would be moved, I would be fine with it, but when I type in my password in and accepts it, it does nothing! Like I said, there are seven of us that are using this system, and everyone has the same issue with the same folders, it is not like one person can move it and another cannot. To make it even harder to define where the issue is coming from: if you go back after a few minutes / hours, the folder will randomly be able to move with no issue. If you take the files out of the folder, you can move them, and when you move the now empty folder, it will gladly move into any folder, but when the files remain in the folder it asks for the password. And in some cases, folders that were just made and are empty have the same issue, which leads me to believe that this issue is not a result of the contents of the folder, but something else.
It is seemingly impossible to nail down the cause of our dilemma so I have come here in hopes of a great break through. The worst part is is that we are not doing anything that difficult, we are simply moving folders around. This is a windows based server, that might be important. Also, some of us are running Mavericks and others are still on Snow Leopard. Thank you for any information you might have! ( I have already tried the boot in recovery, resetpassword trick with no luck >_< )

If we're going to fix this, we will have to concentrate on one person to start with. Can that be you?
Some more information is required, only from you, your Mac and your windows user account on the server:
On the Windows server, are the 3 folders in question within the one shared folder?
What is the name of the Volume (share) that appears in Finder?
Are any of the folders being copied or moved to the local drive of the Mac?
On the windows server, what are the permissions that you have to:
The top-level shared folder
The 3 folders underneath the top-level shared folder
Do a Get Info of the Volume (share) in Finder and do a screen shot of both the area above Preview and the area below Preview (Preview itself is not required. Make sure all right-pointing arrows are expanded to down-pointing arrows so all info in each section can be seen.
(Did this discussion get re-assigned to the OS X Server Community? I've never been there, and I thought I found it in the OS X Mavericks community.) Are you actually running OS X Server on the Macs?
