HT1146 Anyone know how to setup email so you can get a Read Receipt?

I would like to know how I can setup email in Mac so I can get a 'read receipt' once the recipient has opened my sent email.

The process is described here, though that is several years old. As far as I know it still works in 10.6.8. However, use it at your own peril. Also note that just because your messages request a receipt does not mean that the recipient's email client will send one - even if the client has the capability, many users will have it turned off. Apple's Mail hasn't the capability.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Good Afternoon irish357,
    I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
    I have attached a link below for your reference.

    I hope this information is helpful in resolving your concerns.

    I am learning to use Photoshop Elements with my recently downloaded Elements 13.  I am disappointed that there is no longer a golden section grid option.  Does anyone know if there is a way I can get this?  Is there an upgrade to a more advanced photoshop or a plug in that has it as an option?

  • HT4864 Does anyone know how to setup iCloud to automatically compose an email when a "mailto" link is clicked? Is this even possible on a Windows 8.1 PC? It seems near impossible to find a yes or no answer to.

    Any answers with explanations would be greatly appreciated at this time.

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • HT1694 Does anyone know how to setup a hotmail email account on an iPad?

    The instructions on Apple's website *****.  It says that Microsoft Hotmail is an option when it isn't. 
    Follow the steps below to set up your Hotmail, Outlook, Live, or MSN email account on your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account… > Microsoft Hotmail.
    Enter your email address in the email field.
    Enter your password in the password field and tap Next.
    Choose the account items you would like to sync, and then tap Save.
    Microsoft Hotmail is NOT an option on my iPad air.  So, does anyone else know how to set it up?
    Thanks,

    The instructions are just old. Try using the outlook.com option.

  • Anyone know how to customize email subject generated by Alerts from BPM

    I'm generating Alerts from BPM. However, the Alerts generated this way has subject title with - Process and an id number like this 'Process 000000126930'.
    I want to create custom subject line / email title.
    I tried by creating and using container variables in the Alert category for the title and it did not work.
    Any ideas on how to do this.
    Thank you,

    Hi Parimala,
    You can use the external definition Mail strcuture (Mail.xsd) provided by SAP for XI. You can map your structure with the Mail structure where you can create any subject line and any content as well, depending upon your interface configuration.
    Pls find the attached, Mail.xsd. Customize the subject, to, from etc. fields and populate the content branch element to send any message via the email.

  • Anyone know how to setup SquirrelMail in Apple Mail program

    I am helping someone set up a new MBP and iMac. His office uses something called SquirrelMail, and currently he is able to access this on his Windows laptop at home or in his office. His business has its own domain name. I tried using the incoming/outgoing settings on his PC, but cannot access his mail using Apple Mail. Can anyone advise what the settings would be for Apple mail? Port number, authentication settings, etc. Thanks.
    Barbara

    Thanks for your reply. I know that he can access the mail through the web, but currently has been using Outlook on his HP laptop to send/read mail and would like to use Apple Mail or perhaps Entourage on his new macs. I looked at the settings in Outlook on his HP laptop and have the names of the incoming and outgoing mail servers that he uses there. I am thinking the problem may be with the port number or authentication settings.
    Anything else you can advise? Thanks.

  • Anyone know how InDesign (or other CS4 software can interact with a Mainframe computer?

    We print a lot of form letters, tax forms etc off of our main frame. Sometimes in large quantities.
    Currently we are using a prgram called Elixir Design Pro tools to get the jobs done via the maineframe.
    Is there any way that we can somehow incorporate InDesign to get forms printed without having to hassle around with this program? (Think giant mial merge off data stings on a main frame.
    In the book, the background information on the program states:
    The print process begins with the submission of a JCL (Job Control Language) statement. This JCL statement includes the instructions to start the job, along with the primary resources the job needs. These resources might typically include the data source, the PageDef and the Form Def.
    These pieces are used by the PSF (Print Service FAcility,) a printer driver that resides in the host. PSF finds and retrieves all necesary resources, then has a two-way conversation with the printer using IPDS (Omtellegent Print Data Stream). IPDS is the language used for PSF and the printer to communicate with each other.
    In addition to the Elixer fomrats, Visual PPFA allows the use of various overlay, fonts and images formats for your document desing.
    Extensions on these include:
    DOCUMENTS:obj; .src; .pfa; .dbf; efd; epd;
    OVERLAYS: ove; ovt; 01; ogl; efr; elx;
    FONTS: Several AFP and Adobe Type Manager Fonts, True type fonts
    IMAGES; AFP; bitmap; Elixer Legacy(.LP3; JPEG; JPG; PC Paintbrush . pcx; Portab;e netwrok .png; and tif
    Anyone know more about this that I am ever goign to?  We print large volume and are tyring (I beleive ) to get this to somehow print on something similar to a Docutech (maybe???) Thank you. I will realy any info (i'm sure there will be questions asked of me) to our head IT guru.

    Where does the need for your mainframe come in to play then? If your goal is the use InDesign and not use the Elixir solution that you've already got and you want variable data printing you're going to look into something such as an XMPie or similar sort of VDP package. As is with your solution (of if you are using the lighter version of Elixir) you can put InDesign in and assign whatever dynamic goodness you want and spit out what you need.
    If you've already got an expensive and supported solution that works on your mainframe and in your system I just don't see the sense in finding another expensive solution. You could maybe get it done with InDesign server or via a VDP solution, but why? What do you gain with it? Elegance maybe?
    It sounds like something that is $10,000–50,000 deep as is with the combination of hardware and software that you have. Why would you want to dump another $20,000 minimum to get another solution that doesn't bring anything to the table?
    InDesign server is for lightweight servers, not the big iron and will only run on Windows or Mac OS X, not on AIX or any of the big blade solutions as far as I know.

  • Am looking for a nascar in car radio app?  anyone know what it is calledor where I can get?

    Anyone know what app allows me tolisten to nascar in car radio?

    Tried to delete it but was told could not because it was in use.  Went to get info and found that it was listed as an email attachment with a date of Apr 18, 2010.
    Open your Mail. Move the file to the Trash. Quit Mail. Now empty the Trash.
    When you can't empty the trash when you see the "file is in use" dialog, you need to quit the app that the file is associated with, then empty the Trash.
    I was looking for images in All Images that I didn't need and could delete.
    Be careful of deleting images. They might be icons associated with certain apps like iChat or PhotoBooth.
    The file size is 4kb.
    Most system icons are about 4kb in size.
    I don't think this is malware related.
