Has the "quit mail to empty trash" bug been resolved in Lion?

This long-standing bug seems to persist in Lion.
I haven't tested the old work-around which was to securely empty the trash.
Any ideas on whether this will be resolved?

Wow. Never heard of that one. Nor have I ever experienced it.  This suggests something peculiar to your set-up is causing it.
Why do you believe it is widespread?

    What do you mean with the wrong email address?
    - If it is not your account on your Mac, then just sign out and then sign in using your account in "System Preferences > iCloud".
    If you want to change your current email address which is associated with your iCloud account, please make sure that you turn of "Find My iPhone", "Find My Mac" on all your devices before you change your email address, then go to https://appleid.apple.com sign in and then change your Apple ID/iCloud ID. Please note that email addresses which end with @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com cannot be changed.

  • System sound (like when empty trash) miserably stop working in Lion 10.7.2

    I have upgraded to Lion10.7.2 on my Macbook Pro early 2008 Intel 15 inches, and the update went fine except one annoying problem I found so far.
    This problem also occurred in 10.7.0 and 10.7.1 and it seems that no fix has been made in 10.7.2
    The problem is when I drag file to Trash and empty it, there should be trash empty sound effect, and this has been with us since Tiger.
    In 10.7.2 it work as expected, but when I close the lid to get it to sleep, once I open the lid, the system sound is gone without no reason.
    When I play music from iTunes, or when I change volume level, the sound effects work as usual, but empty trash sound stop working miserable.
    I have to shut down, press Option-Command-P-R and power on to reset PRAM then system sound like empty trash come back. Again, afpr may be half a day, it's gone again
    Any friend here has solution for this? The com.apple.soundprefs.plist file, if you delete it, in Lion, it is not recreated again, and it's gone forever. SO delete plist file is not a solution.
    Help please

    I found a workaround to my problem accidentally.
    As the system sound like empty trash or file drag sound stop working miserably, after close the MBP lid to sleep, after it awake, system sound just stop working.
    Before this, I have to shut down my MBP, reset PRAM by press Option-Control-P-R and power on, to get the system sound back
    But I found that the workaround whenever the system sound stop working thad do not require reboot is:
    1. Go to System Preference-Sound
    2. Change Play sound effects through: Internal Speakers to Soundflower 2ch) in the drop down list.
        (Soundflower has been installed by a software called iShowU HD (screen capturing software))
    3. Slide to change Alert Volume from the original position
    4. Switch back to Internal Speakers from Soundflower 92ch) in the drop down list
    5. Change Alert Volume by moving slide bar back to the desirable position
    Immediately, the sound effects that stop working will start working again.
    This just work for my case. I don't know it will work for ther people that have the same problem as me or not.
    And if possible, can some expert here give me explanation why doing the above make system sound effect to work again? mI want to know the cause, and definite solution to the problem
    Advise and suggestion please. Thank in advance

  • Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?

    Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?
    I am patiently waiting for some word on whether I can go ahead a install the new version of Muse CC (2014) software on my systems without running into the quagmire that so many are experiencing.  I simply can't afford to run the risk that I will be stuck with a "trial version" for the next 30 days without some assurance from Adobe that they will be able to solve the problems in that time frame. It would be nice if adobe would send out an email that explains the situation to all of it's users so we know what's going on and when the issue is resolved. Collectively we all pay a lot money for these "updates", so I don't think it's to much to ask.
    Kind Regards,
    wrgould
    PS: Please reference this forum discussion - Muse CC 2014 wants Serial Number, though i pay monthly for muse

    A screenshot of the error when a site is opened. I've reinstalled, restarted.. etc. Thanks! J

  • IPhoto 6 Empty Trash Crashing Issue (Resolved?)

    Having suffered from this for months now, I am still no closer to solving this issue. I believe I have done most things suggested here with varying degrees of partial sucess. Have not re-installed 6.0 or gone back to 5.0.
    Can anyone offer anything new to try and resolve this or just sit back and wait for Apple to do something. Any advise appreciated.

    Hi Kevin,
    I don't have any definite resolution for you, but here is another thread I can refer you to:
    cannot empty trash without a crash
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=329293&tstart=0
    "I spoke with Apple just now (Apple Care) They said I-photo will not work right with photos on an external drive (I don't know where we are going to store the 250,000 photos it says it will work with). So here is what we did
    1. Place my I photo library back in my home folder in the picture folder
    2. Open I-photo and you will be asked to find the photo library, mine still crashed so on to step 3
    3. Restarted MAC in Safe mode by holding down the shift key after the restart chimes and releasing it after the Apple and the little spinning gear icon showed up.
    4. log into the account in safe mode.
    5. open I-photo and delete the files from the file menu it worked for me 8000+photos gone
    6. restart in normal mode and try I-photo again, and it still works"

  • Has the initial problem with Mavericks with the inability to send a group email been resolved?

    Has the initial problem of the inability of Mavericks Mail to send a Group Email been resolved?

    I can't try what you suggest since I have not reinstalled Mavericks. I don't want the hassle to recover all my files if I have to return to Mountain Lion (again). I was one of the first users of Mavericks when it rolled out and I was not able to "drag and drop" group emails from my Contacts App. I had to do them one at a time--which was a pain when sending the same email to over 50 persons. I do a lot of them to different groups. I have not been able to confirm with Apple that Mavericks works correctly with mail. Thus I need to rely on users such as you to determine if it is safe to install Mavericks (again). If the mail program works correctly I should be able to drag and drop a group or type the group name into "To", "cc" or "bcc". What say you?

  • TS1627 I had my hard drive replaced within the last month.  Now I have trouble with the MAIL function.  Sometimes it is open in the menu on top, but does not bring up mail.  Then it grays out the QUIT MAIL function and I am stuck.

    I have problems closing my MAIL.  The function of Quit is grayed out.  I cannot turn off the computer because it says mail still open.  I have had this problem off and on ever since getting a new hard drive and reloading all the functions.  The only way I can clear it is to hold the power button down till it shuts off the computer, and then restart it.

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • Where has the "quit" option gone?

    After an update, quit option disappeared. This way, FF stays in memory, which is low in my HTC Desire HD. Firefox should have this option back.

    I think this is based on requirements (maybe they're more like strong suggestions?) of the Android OS style guidelines. But, as often occurs, someone created an add-on to put it back on the menu.

  • HT1277 I can't do an update because MAIL will not shut down!!!! The Quit Mail choice in the drop down menu is gray and does not repond!

    Hi Charlie,
    Hold these keys to get a Force Quit to come up where you can choose Mail...
    CMD+alt+esc
    Sometimes alt is option key.

  • Where has the old mail archive?

    I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverics. I had email archived On my Mac but seem to have lost the mailboxes having updated to Maverics, how can I get them back?

    I tried that but I couldn't find the mail boxes, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, where does the system put them?

  • When I turned on my device the inbox mail was empty, in time machine does not show options to find old back up, only inbox is not listed... how I can get my inbox emails back?

    I turned my macbook on and all the emails of inbox were gone. In time machine, only the inbox option does not shows option to get back old back ups... how I can get my inbox emails?

    I figured it out. I couldn't see the old backups because the sparsebundle had not been properly unmounted in a previous session, so it kept giving an "already in use" error. The problem was solved by restarting the Time Capsule through the Airport Utility, mounting the sparsebundle by double-clicking it, and then going through the "Browse other backup disks" option in the Time Machine menu bar icon.
    The following links were helpful in figuring this out:

  • Why has the ability to attach photos in stationery been stopped

    Today I tried to send a thank you message using Mail stationery with an attached photo and got the message that this can no longer be done and either remove the photo or the stationery. Is Apple trying to destroy what was a great system?

    Maybe the network your on out there has issues.

  • The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion

    The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
    Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
    I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....
