I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

    10.8 will "overwrite" your old system keeping your files and settings.

  • Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

    Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
    Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
    I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
    If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
    I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
    This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
    WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

    There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

  • I have just upgraded to mountain lion and now can not use iphoto how do I get to my photos?

    iPhoto just has a no entry sign on it after up dating to mountain lion how do I now use iPhoto please?

    Hi Anitra,
    Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
    Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
    If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library.

  • I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer

    I Just upgraded to mountain lion os x to 10.8.1 and I have a problem with restart my computer.
    Now my computer is stuk on restart and wont turn on.
    Can somone help me with it?
    Thanks.

    If Mende 1's suggestion doesn't solve it you might find the following useful:
    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Hope this helps

  • I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException

    I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and installed it on my lap top. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly when ever I try to scan a document.

    Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    There are different versions of MP Navigator available depending on the Canon device you have. And there are version of this app that do work on 10.8. So www.roaringapps.com would need to amend their statement.
    LexSchellings wrote:
    Instead I use Canon Solution Menu EX, which does even more for you than the MP Navigator. This Solution Menu runs perfectly on Mountain Lion.
    Solution Menu is just a front-end for other Canon applications. When you click on the Use Scanner menu and select Auto Scan, OCR or Attach To E-mail, MP Navigator will open.
    As for the OP, they can obtain the latest version of MP Navigator, which is 10.8 compatible, and the supporting scanner driver via this link.

    And you don't need to uninstall an older version. The new version will overwrite.

  • Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W won't connect

    Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W to print (worked fine via USB with Snow Leopard; I never had set it up wirelessly, though had wanted to do so.)  HP site said if printer worked with Snow Leopard nothing would need to be done; update of drivers would be automatic within Mountain Lion upgrade.  No such luck.  My Macbook Pro and HP Printer are not talking to each other.  HELP, please!
    I have a Macbook pro. 
    When I tried to print, I was told to get new drivers from HP.  HP site says what I wrote above, that I need do nothing if printer worked with Snow Leapord.  Also read that a new HP Laserjet would need to be connected only via Airprint.  So, I have deleted the printer from the print queue, thinking that might help, but I can't find how to install it via Airprint??  After deleting the printer and having no luck with connecting wirelessly, I tried plugging in USB from printer to MacBook pro, too, thinking maybe that would help, but there is no recognition at all.
    What am I missing???
    Thanks!

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

    Make sure that you choose Mail>View>Show Mailbox List, then hover your cursor over one of the subordinate mailbox categories, and you should see "Show." Next click on "Show."

    I just upgraded to mountain lion osx and now my applications are crossed out and out of date. they will not run. how do i fix this?

    Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
