How can I set up an out of office message?

I use Macmail for my mac.com account and also to receive my business emails through another server. I have tried to use rules to respond with an "out of office" message but it has not gone well. The system responded to year old emails and flooded our email. I have read on some support sites about setting up through the server but I do not understand. I need a response that is not overly technical as I do not understand what I am reading if tech lingo is used...sorry but I try!

You might want to check with your email service provider. They often have this option built into their service. For example, I have an email account with Verizon. They have a "vacation" setting that when turned on will send an automatic reply for you. Your incoming email is otherwise delivered normally.

How do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

how do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

There is a ay to do it in Mail, using rules, but that's not a very good idea. Homemade rules can cause things like infinite mail loops (where two accounts auto-reply to each others until one or both mailboxes fill up and cannot receive any more messages). See what your mail server offers in this regard. Auto-replies on the server are typically far more reliable and less error-prone.

I have iphone4, recently changed my phone number. Prior to the change all of my outgoing sms showed my name and phone number. Since I changed the number have not been able to show the new number on outgoing texts. So I don't understand why my number showed before but unable to add it now.....?
I lost a lot of data when I changed the number so I performed a back-up restore, which restored the data I lost. But now my text messages are showing my old phone number.....!!
Any idea how I can change so the new number is displayed?
I use texting a lot more than I do email with my phone.

How can I save or print my text messages from my iphone 4 to my computer - MacBook Pro?

You need third-party software, like this:

Or you can take screen shots, then email them to yourself or copy & paste into an email, again sending such to yourself. Me? I'd get Phoneview, very handy to keep around.

How can I set up Unity mailbox to deliver messages to email mailbox?

Unity Newbie! Where do I configure a voice mailbox to deliver messages to user's email mailbox?

Andrea,
The previous post simply alludes to the fact that Unity doesn't have a built-in mailstore - instead it relies on Exchange (or in some cases, Domino). Unity can be set up in a Voicemail Only configuration or Unified Messaging configuration. If you have Unity, AD, and Exchange installed all on one box then this is usually indicative of voicemail only. In other words, your Unity server is also a domain controller and Exchange server in a standalone domain used just for itself. When you create subscribers, an associated AD and Exchange account are created but within the domain associated with Unity (not the domain users log into so the users are only aware of the phone login credentials). In Unified Messaging, your Unity would be a MEMBER of an existing AD domain and would integrate with a corporate Exchange server or cluster. In this configuration, the account associated with a subscriber is the account they use everyday - in other words, their voicemail resides in their Exchange inbox that they connect to via Outlook.
My guess is that you have voicemail only configuration today but are looking to do 1 of 3 things:
1) Unified Messaging - voicemail is actually integrated with your corporate Exchange and all voicemails natively reside in the inbox
2) Mail Relay - voicemail messages are relayed from the existing Unity to an email address configured for a user
3) Integrated Messaging - user can configure an IMAP folder in their email client and have access to voicemail from within a separate mailbox in the client
Which sounds like your requirement? If you have more questions, just ask.

How can I set my iPhone to show email messages sent from my desktop?

Using iPhone 5, are there setting that I'm missing to allow me to see sent messages from my desktop Mac on my iPhone?

So to be clear, when you are looking at the Mailboxes side bar, you are tapping through to the email address in the ACCOUNTS section (below INBOXES), then to the Sent folder. Correct?
If yes, is there perhaps more than one Sent folder? Maybe one called Sent and another called Sent (IMAP) or something similar? Maybe take a look at that long list of folders to be sure you looking in the correct one.
If that does't work, then do as I suggested and delete the account and add it again as new.

I was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

i was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
I have seen private individuals offering this service
It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.
Steve

I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

How can I set the text feild in a form to print out the entire feild?

Right now it's only printing out what shows in the box, I want the box to expand when printed and show all the text entered in the field, how can I set it to do that?

I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

How can I set time-out while accessing a url using URL object?

Hi
I'm trying to get the content of a URL using the following code. How can I set timeout

URL url=null;
try {
     String urlString="http://host-machine/sms/index.jsp";

     inbuf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
     String inputLine;
     String LongString="";
while ( (inputLine=inbuf.readLine()) != null)
          LongString=LongString+inputLine;
          retString=LongString;
          inbuf.close();
     catch (Exception e) {System.out.println(e)}
Thanks a lot for your kind help

No, there is not setting for a default printer.The system scans for available airprint printers each time you print.

HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
So while it is possible, it's not advisable.
