Help understanding mail and MobileMe

I hope this isn't too silly a question.
I have my (MobileMe) mail set up in mail.app as an IMAP account. Everything works great, except when I move folders off of .MAC and drop them into ON MY MAC (for storage) they wont arrange themselves alphabetically. I am not quite certain how they are ordered (it seems to be last in shows up toward the bottom). Is there a way to fix this? I have a lot of mailboxes (one per client) and would like them to be organized alphabetically.
Any thoughts?

K/C R,
In the mail display you can sort by any field displayed by pressing the title.
ie From/Subject/Date Received, etc.
It will toggle between ascending and descending order.
Edit: Sorry, I might have misinterpreted your question. Why don't you leave them all in the Inbox and setup smart folders for each one. My Smart folders are all display alphabetically.
Cheers

HELP - My mail and safari don't work

Hello,
I need help. My Mail and Safari where very instable. Sudenly they stopped working. I click in the icons on the bar and they don't open.
yesterday night I did an "Archive and Install" instalation. This instalations just installs the operational system again and leave the rest intact.
It worked perfectly. I went to sleep at 3 AM with everything working.
I woke up and again the mail and safari don't launch.
I did the "Archive and Install" instalation again and the mail worked once and Safari didn't.
I just don't know what to do.
The system I have is OS X 10.3.5
yesterday after installing the system I did the update to 10.3.9
everything worked.
Today when I woke up and they wheren't working again I did the instalations again and didn't upgrade. Didn't work.
Does someone knows about this happening before?

Help with mail and webmail

Hello everyone,
I will need your help on some things regarding mail and webmail.
First of all I am not an expert on mac as it is the first time that I'm setting up a server so please be lenient with my mistakes.
OK let's begin.
I have a mac mini running 10.6.4 and I have setup 2 domains. www.domain1.com & www.domain2.com
2 DNS zones.
1st zone hostname: domain1.com
Nameservers:
zone: domain1.com Nameserver Hostname: server.domain1.com
Mail exchanger: mail.domain1.com Priority: 10
1 Machine: Machine Name: mail.
IP Address: my external IP.
2nd zone hostname: domain2.com
Nameservers:
zone: domain2.com Nameserver Hostname: server.domain2.com
Mail exchanger: mail.domain2.com Priority: 10
1 Machine: Machine Name: mail.
IP Address: my external IP.
Mail Service:
Domain name: mail
Host Name: server.domain1.com
SMTP: ON
Allow incoming: ON
IMAP/POP: ON
Security:
SMTP IMAP/POP:
Kerberos: ON
CRAM-MD5: ON
APOP: ON
LOGIN: ON
SSL: Don't use
Hosting:
Enable virtual hosting: ON
domain1.com
domain2.com
I have create 4 users:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
In Workgroup Manager I have also added a second short name for each user for overlapping, in the mail option the mail server for users in domain1 is the default: sever.domain1.com and for users in domain 2: server.domain2.com
The problems are:
1. When I send a mail from my users in hotmail it returns back as: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender.
2.How can I configure this emails on PCs?
3.I want to create web services for both my domains without the users from domain1 can log in domain2.
When I tried to active 2 separate web services for each domain the user from domain1 had access to domain2.
For example
In https://www.domain1.com should only login users who belong to this domain (domain1).
Thanks for your time!!

To control access to your web pages use Server Admin, select the sites tab, and then select realms.
Add a realm for each of your domains, and then exclude all users except the ones applicable to that domain.
Have you enabled mail for the users in Open Directory? What does your smtp log say when you try to send email?

HELP: CLOSING MAIL AND GOOGLE MAPS

Dear guys,
My 3gs suffer from battery drain caused by background 3g traffic data activity.
Even if I have no background running app, my phone keeps sending receiving huge mb of data.
I've downloaded from appstore an app, system lite, which has revealed that, between runnin apps, there are mail and google maps. Maybe this colud cause traffic data.
How can I close them? Obviously, double pressing home button doesn't show these apps running....
Thanks in advance.

If double pressing the home button does not show the programs in the bar, they are not running. There is no possible way for them to be running in the background unless they are showing the quick switching bar.
What is showing in this bar when you double tap the home button?
Have you tried the basics from the manual or reset, restart, and restore?

Help understanding "KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS " and "NSLock Errors"

Hello,
Could someone indicate me a direction to help *finding the cause of* the following errors ?:
(Adobe still does not give me an answer neither Apple do).
– KERNINVALIDADDRESS

I am experiencing a lot's of trouble with Adobe CS3 software – Indesign CS3 specially – and I am trying to figure out why/where does these errors came from.

Rico

Thank you Kappy
as it's said:
"If a thread tries to unlock theLock, but it’s already unlocked, undesirable things may happen"
Undesirable things happen because it crash my application all the time. As I'm no developer either, I'm trying to understand what can cause this conflict (If it's something in my OS X or indesign configuration), but such logs seems too difficult for common user to undertand).
I've read that somewhere in the apple developer site too. I think that's what append here.
I'm wondering if it's not coming from the "adobe registration frameworks" (I've no idea what it is) because my crash logs mention this quite often.
I've also read that KERN INVALID ADDRESS can be cause by bad RAM, but I've test it with TechTool Deluxe/Rember, seems ok.
Thanks anyway,
Rico

Need help understanding profiles and color management

I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
1 Epson 3800 Standard
2 Spyder3Studio
I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
2 Calibrated the monitor
3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
What I've found:
1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
So, why am I confused?
1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
Hope this helps,
Henrik Holmegaard

Mail and MobileMe folders

On the right side of the Mail main screen, below Mailboxes, Reminders, RSS, On My Mac is an entry for my MobileMe set of folders that are not duplicated above (e.g. Junk, Deleted Messages). Is there a way I can not have them shown on this window?
I'm OK with them but they bug my wife and son so I'm seeing if there is any way I can hide/remove them from the main view page.
Thanks.
B2 (;-?

Not good. I just tried to delete the subfolder by copying the contents of the SENT folder to another folder on my mac. It unexpectedly deleted every message in SENT, and that subfolder still shows up on MobileMe.
Now I'm also trying to get those messages back in SENT, since I can't just drag them in. This is really messed up now, so I'm waiting for suggestions before I do more damage.

Help understanding itunes and sync, itunes 10.5.0.142 does not import

ok, first, im an old phart at a veterans home, so keep that in mind! Lol.
Im not sure I understand Itunes.
I thought it was supposed to sync, or keep on your ipod what you have in itunes library.
In other words, if I have a play list and I delete a few songs from it, and add newer ones, when I sync my Ipod Touch, it should make the Ipod Touch play list, be like the one in intunes and delete the songs I deleted and add the songs I added - - Am I correct in that assumption?
Second, this latest ITunes version; I tried adding files, but they do not show up as recently added. Yesterday I added 200 and only 122 showed up on the list.
Third, if I want to wipe out my entire MP3 library on Itunes, but keep my videos and stuff, how can I do this so that I can re-import stuff afterwards?
Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem, but with an earlier version of iTunes, but when I upgraded it the problem solved automatically

Suddenly, some mail messages do not arrive (both Mac Mail and MobileMe)

Since Wednesday (August 20), I simply no longer receive email messages or replies from people I have had in my address book for years. The two senders I know of, via chat, are in my family, and I have never had problems receiving from them before (again, that I know of). They continue to send messages and replies, but they do not show up in Mac OS X Mail nor on the "MobileMe" website. These folks are not getting their messages to me returned undeliverable, nor am I getting them in my "Junk" folder (just in case you're wondering). It so happens the two senders that I know of both have aol.com email addresses.
Any suggestions as to where these messages are going, or how to get .Mac (er, MobileMe) support? It seems any way to get .Mac support by email has vanished from the Apple website. (Hey, why is that, by the way? It's a PAY service after all.) I know MobileMe wasn't the smoothest launch ever, but somehow I don't think it is specific to MobileMe (except of course that the mail server is the mail server).
Thanks!

More information: This is only applicable to SOME email senders. I cannot be sure exactly how many or which other senders are not having their messages delivered to me, I AM still receiving various emails. These persons have simply asked me, via chat, why I haven't been responding to their emails...

Help understanding ERPi and planning

Hi All,
Planning/Essbase. Version is 11.1.2.
Can you please help me understand the role of the ERPi adapter. I have hyperion planning that sits on an essbase cube. We load data and metadata from E-Business Suite 11. From forms and reports I want to drill back to the data in EBS. I have installed and configured the ERPi adaptor and the scenarios in ODI
Question 1)
Do I need to load data and metadata to be able to drill-through.
Question 2)
I have set my target and source systems - where do I configure the "Drill Through"
thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi There,
To answer your questions...
1. This part of the process from what I've seen is integral to the product working - so the answer is yes
2. Drill through is defined in a number of places one of those is in the "Target Application Registration" within ERPi and there is also a flag within the the adapter.
Oracle have produced some good step by step documentation on this, please check metalink for note ID 951369.1 and this will take you through the process.
HTH

Need help understanding mail import

I've just upgraded to OS 10.4.6 from OS 9.1. I was using Outlook Express 5.0.6 in OS 9.1.
After trying every possible solution that I can dream up or have read about, I am desperate for an answer. I have two potential Email programs that I could use in Tiger: "Mail" or "Entourage 2004". Either one suits me, but neither one will import my old email from Outlook no matter how I configure the import or where I put the actual "Messages" file. It's a huge file, at about 1000 MB. I've read that "Mail" won't import from Outlook at all, and I've read that Entourage should import this file.
What I get when I run the import function and click down to the Identities folder inside of the Microsoft User Data folder is grayed out files. It's not just the "Messages" file that's grayed out, it's actually all of them (Database; Signatures; Contacts etc.)
I could live without most of it, but I MUST have my old emails. Can anyone give me some clue?
Of interest: I also cannot seem to launch OS9 simultaneously with Tiger when starting up from Tiger. In order to launch OS9, I have to change to startup disk to OS 9 and reboot.
HELP PLEASE!!!!

OK - I finally have been able to open Classic - that was a chore, but it's done and I hope I never have to trouble shoot it again. Though I must say, the thread that you lead me to for that was very helpful.
However - I am still unable to import the old "Messages" file, created from Outlook Express 5.0.6 originally, in any email program INCLUDING Outlook Express 5.0.6. !! It's there - I can see it!! But it's all grayed out. It seems that Mail will import the messages once I can get them back into Outlook, but now I can't figure out how to do that.
I tried selecting the folder instead of the file itself. No go. I wonder if the file or the folder it's in are in the wrong place.
Also - over the course of the day, I copied the folder and it's contents more than once and placed each copy in a few different places so as to be able to try each location. Could multiple copies be the cause? If so - how do I know which to delete, and where should everything actually go?

Help with MAIL and Address book

Hello
I am starting a Mac mini server, I have setup Ical and Itunes, but I have no manage to setup Mail.
Can somebody post screen samples of the setup on the MAC mini and on the client ?
What do you do to share an existent address book within users ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best
Cyril
My mail is : cb dot pub at numericable dot com
my MX (domain) is : mx dot cyrilblanc dot fr

You need to have a stable and correct DNS services configuration. This is a prerequisite for mail.
The following is a result of an incorrect DNS services configuration:
$ dig +short MX cyrilblanc.fr
1 mx.cyrilblanc.fr.
$ dig +short mx.cyrilblanc.fr.
87.231.239.246
$ dig +short -x 87.231.239.246
87-231-239-246.rev.numericable.fr.
$
Your reverse DNS is 87-231-239-246.rev.numericable.fr. and this translation does not match your forward DNS mx.cyrilblanc.fr. and correct DNS is a common prerequisite for the receiving mail servers; for those services that will receive and process your outgoing messages when your server is sending mail.
Your MX record for the subdomain mx.cyrilblanc.fr is targeting mail servers at 1and1, and that may or may not be your intent. (Given your name, I'd assume you want to have [email protected]+ as your email, which means the MX record that is applicable here is the MX record associated with cyrilblanc.fr domain and not the MX record with the mx.cyrilblanc.fr subdomain.
To configure your reverse DNS, you will need to contact your ISP.
Further, your ISP may or may not allow mail servers. Many ISPs can require a commercial tier of service, and can firewall the mail ports within a non-business service tier. Check with your ISP here.
An "A record" is basic DNS construct; it is a machine name record. Your current DNS record for your mx host is an A record, and not a CNAME ("alias") or other format record, which is good.
Given you want screen shots, you may want to subscribe to the Lynda video library. (I have no experience with those, but there are folks around that have referenced them as a simple approach for configuring your Mac OS X Server box.) I'm not in a position to post screen shots from my servers, and it is exceedingly likely that how I have my mail clients configured will not match your requirements. And I'll end up explaining the differences.
Please also take the time to Google the forums. There are similar discussions. Google specifically for that string I provided earlier, as that's a commonplace response to somebody that's trying to troubleshoot a mail server problem.

Changing Mail and MobileMe Passwords

Hi all,
I tried to change my Mail password by going to Preferences and then Account Information, but now I understand that doesn't actually change the password - it just changes the password that Mail is using to try to log in to your mail server. How do I change the password on the server?
My account type is iCloud IMAP and my incoming mail server and outgoing mail server (SMTP) are p03-imap.mail.me.com and iCloud (iCloud) respectively.
Thank you

Thanks, I have changed my Apple ID password (i.e. my iCloud password). Does this mean even if someone gets into my account on my old job's Mac, they cannot just launch my Mail app by clicking on it and see all my emails, etc... Right?

Mail and mobileme account

Because I am a Mobileme subscriber, a Mobileme account automatically shows in my Mail account. I therefore have a Mobileme inbox which is totally redundant, and I would prefer not to have.
I am assuming that I can delete simply Mobileme from Mail account, however I fear that I might do something untoward.
I only use Mobileme for syncing iCal between my computer and my iPhone, and I never use Mobileme for emails.
By deleting Mobileme from Mail account, will this affect Mobileme syncing my iCal?
JohnC

Many thanks McJaga
Just to be clear...to delete the Mobileme Account in Apple Mail I do the following:
Mail, then Preferences, then General and click on Mobileme Account and then hit "-" at bottom left hand of screen. That right?
JohnC

Help with mail and iCloud -

I have two mac emails and can't get the second to move to the cloud. Mail is having trouble recognizing the second address - help! I moved the main email with no problem but I have a second .mac account that I use for work and that keeps rejecting my password. Also, I can't change my preferences on that account at me.com at all.
help please!

iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account. What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address. (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts. I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)
