Help with applescript/workflow/rule that would unflag mail when read (...)

Here's my scenario:
I have quite many mail.app rules that automatically filter and file incoming mails from newsletters, SNS, work, friends etc. and they all go in specific mailboxes (200+)
I also have some rules that I trigger using MailActOn.
Since with Lion theres now 6 different flags (and that you can rename them) I've included them in the rules actions and set them up to the following categories:
- To Do
- To Do Later
- To File
- News
- Personal
This actually allows me to have these smart mailboxes to appear only when they are flags active.
Now for the first three I want to keep the flags permanently until I'm actully done with them.
But for the "news" and "personal" ones I want to have them "unflag" once I read them.
So to recap, is there a way to systematicall/periodically unflag messages when they are read from specific mailboxes or if they are flagged with a particular flag?
I'd really appreciate if someone would help me out figure out an adequate solution to what I'd like to achieve.
I'm not sure if a kind of a combination of either applescript/workflow/rule would actually make it work...

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Help with writing body_checks rules

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source to refer to for writing body_check rules for Postfix. I am having an issue with a few rules that I have written to block spam, but I am blocking legitimate mail as well - the legitamate mail does not seem to meet the rule's criteria.
Here is an example of my rule:
/NMXC/ REJECT Spam Rule Number 88
I want to block the word or stock id "NMXC" but it is blocking emails that do not contain "NMXC".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

I am sure that it is the rule that is being triggered. I list my rule responses as "Spam Rule" and then a line number so that I can keep up with which rules are causing the rejection.
I have disabled most of my Spam Rules for body_checks because I was getting so many false positives.
Jan 15 04:10:10 Macintosh postfix/cleanup[19746]: B5CB910512D3: reject: body HZeppHyAgMCRMAW3A7j/AFYaKEC9RlCAMW6gAh2YgNw0gCsoQCByACDAwQAQAQqwAASwSlcSSjMB from 125.red-213-96-130.staticip.rima-tde.net[213.96.130.125]; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<125.Red-213-96-130.staticIP.rima-tde.net>: Spam Rule Number 85
I don't know if this is true junk or not. The log is so old. I had several people who had legitimate mail rejected and when I asked their sender to let me know if it contain the phrase or word that was rejected by Spam Rule Number 85 the response was always no.
Perhaps I need to place a space between my slashes...would that help? In other words make the filter look like this:
/ wordtoreject / Spam Rule Number 85.
By the way, thanks for responding.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Hi, Firefox keeps crashing, the crash signature is ProcessBoundaryCells. I tried searching Mozilla, but there are no supporting articles. If anyone can please help me fix this issue, that would be great. Thanks

Hi, Firefox on my desktop keeps crashing at just random moments. Sometimes not very often at all, but other times it can happen a few times within an hour.
My Desktop Window Manager also crashes regularly and the dialogue box always pops up saying its stopped working. However, this doesn't seem to effect anything.
It could be realated though, as I just had this desktop built a few weeks ago and a few times it's crashed as well as programs.
If anyone can help me fix this issue with Firefox, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I updated the Flash plugin, but I still keep getting crashes.
I will try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player as you recommended and hopefully this will work.
Although the last crash report I got has a different problem then before,

If you can please offer any more advice that would be great, thanks.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Help writing a workflow rule

Hello Experts!!!
I need help writing a workflow rule condition to trigger the workflow. What I am aiming for is an email to be sent out when an opportunity is marked Closed/Won. But it can only be of a certain opportunity type (we use three options) and opportunity sub-type (we use two options) (these are custom fields we use)
Below are the fields that need to be used:
[<SalesStage>] = Closed/Won
[<OpportunityType>] = Acute
[<plOpportunity_SubType_ITAG>] = Tech
Thanks Again!!

Hi
Try:
[<SalesStage>] = Closed/Won AND [<OpportunityType>] = Acute AND [<plOpportunity_SubType_ITAG>] ='Tech'
Note that in case of picklists it is recomended to use the lookup value and not static text like 'Tech', but both will work.
Good luck
Guy

You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

I too am having the same problem. I have a new hard drive that was imaged from the old one and I'm trying to side load a book to my Nook Simple Touch.. I first installed ADE 4 then borrowed and downloaded a book from Overdrive. I tried a few times to delete and reauthorize both the computer and the Nook and each time I get an authorization error when I try to side load the book. I then found on the Nook forum that the Simple Touch and ADE 4 don't get along. So I uninstalled ADE 4 and installed ADE 3.
I then followed this recommended procedure found on the forum: I deleted the Digital Editions folder from my Nook, launched ADE 3 and authorized the computer, then connected the Nook. For a few seconds, hovering the mouse over the setting icon for the Nook displayed everything on the context menu grayed out. But then it showed the context menu and I was able to display the Nook's authorization, which was the same as the computer's. Still get the same error side loading the book. Deleting and reauthorizing doesn't help. And the Digital Editions folder is still missing from the Nook.

HT201318 Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad

Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad?

I had this same problem on my 4S. I fixed it by restoring the phone to factory defaults. Previously, I had taken the additional step of restoring from backup but, as soon as I did, the problem returned. The fix is a hassle as I now have to reinstall my apps but at least I can manage mail on the phone.
The problem also occurred on my iPad2 but I'm not restoring it as it's a serious hassle (see above) and I don't actually read much mail on the device.
As a side note, I noticed incredibly high load averages (5+ processes for 1, 5, and 15 minutes; 12+ for 1 and 5 minutes at one point) as well as CPU usage that didn't drop below 15% (apparently all user processes, system seemed to be about normal). As could be expected, this also lead to incredibly rapid battery depletion.
I can't tell what processes were hogging the CPU as neither of my devices are jailbroken and Apple doesn't seem to like 'top' much.

Delete preview cache - that should solve the problem.
It's the .lrdata folder in with your catalog, named something like "My Catalog Previews.lrdata".
Delete entire .lrdata folder, making sure you get the one in the same folder as the catalog you're opening. Do not delete anything else, and if you have something like "My Catalog Smart Previews.lrdata" - that's not it.

When Lr comes up, consider initiating whole-catalog building of standard previews (Library -> Previews menu), lest you be "forever" greeted by temporarily gray thumbnails and "loupe loading" indicator in the future..

My mail, when reading an email, has an icon which is like a box with an arrow pointing down into it, what is it for?
When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. The email, which was moved from my inbox still apperars in "ALL Mail" mailbox.

That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.
