Just upgraded to OS Mavericks and my delete key in Mail does not delete it just moves the cursor up

I just upgraded to OS Mavericks. In Mail my delete key does not delete. When I hit delete the message above the one I was reading is highlighted. How can I fix this?

open up a terminal (either type in "terminal" in spotlight search (the magnify glass in top right corner) or in the Finder (New Folder Window) Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and enter:
defaults write com.apple.mail IgnoreSortOrderWhenSelectingAfterDelete 1

  • 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

    I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and when i use the gestures on my magic track pad it responds oddly.  Sometimes it won't recognize when my simple gesture of scrolling through a document.

    Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

  • When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

    I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

    artisttouch,
    If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
    To solve it, you may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Deleting emails from Gmail does not delete them from BB

    HI,
    Just bought a brand new BB 8830 World Edition and using Gmail. Deleting emails from the BB works just fine and Gmail is being updated. But deleting emails from Gmail does not delete the corresponding email from the BB.
    On the BB, there is an option "Mailbox and Handheld" that works just fine but there is no such thing on the Gmail options.
    Is this a bug or a normal way of doing things? It would be quite abnormal to having to manually delete your emails on the BB that have already been deleted on Gmail; it's just deleting twice the same email.
    I would be grateful to anyone who can provide an answer.
    Regards.
    Springtime.

    You can delete mails from your handheld as well as from Gmail server which I guess solve the issue for you. To be able to do so check the following options -
    Messages
    Options
    Email Reconciliation
    Deelete On: Mailbox & handheld
    In place of Mailbox & handheld you also select Deelete On: Prompt. This is will give prompt wheneve you'll delete any mail and give you options what to do.

  • Deleting OU in OIM does not delete OU in OID

    I have only one Resource that is OID which I am managing from OIM. When I delete a user in OIM from the User Edit Form, it deletes the user from OIM and also from OID.
    But when I delete the OU from OIM, it does not delete the OU from OID. When I delete it from the Process Form of this resource, the OU gets deleted from OID fine, but I want to avoid 2 steps process and delete it directly from the OU Edit Form.
    Will appreciate quick help on this.

    The task is already created for Delete OID OU but that does not execute with(just after) the "Delete" button of OU from OIM. I have to do the two step process of first deleting the OU from OID using "Resource Profile" and "Delete OID OU" Process Task and then come back to the OIM and delet the OU. I am looking for one step "Delete" process for OU from OIM and OID.

  • Server mail does not delete mail queue

    mail server does not delete mail queue.

    Apparently, Mail sometimes fails to remove messages from the server when Remove copy from server is set to Right away -- don’t know why.
    I can only guess Mail sometimes has problems communicating with the server, and precisely because the setting is Right away, never tries again. I’d try changing the setting to After one day or When moved from Inbox, and see whether that makes a difference.
    Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Have you checked whether Thunderbird does remove the messages from that server?
    BTW, woodie is wrong. It’s true that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client, but it doesn’t let the same messages to be downloaded more than once via POP either. Gmail just doesn’t work like a normal POP server would.

  • Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2. iTunes store temporarily unavailable since upgrade/update. What to do?

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2 on my iMac (2012). When I try to access iTunes store, I now get "Store is temporarily unavailable." I quite iTunes, rebooted. I can't sign-out or access account. I can sign in to App store and iCloud on same computer. My macbook pro and macbook air both work with iTunes on the same network. I tried clearing iTunes cache and resetting warnings, just for the **** of it.
    So...I don't see anything about this particular issue...where all other macs and Apple devices are working but one isn't...and where the one not working is the upgrade to OSX 10.9.
    Also, I haven't changed any passwords or email addresses for my Apple ID lately.
    Ideas?
    griggsle

    After receiving the "temporarily unavailable" error message on the iMac for three days, rebooting multiple times, etc., without effect, this morning the store started working on this computer as well.
    Since I could access my Apple on the Apple site and in iCloud during this whole thing and also access my ITunes account (store) on my other macs, I'm figuring this was some strange anomaly.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

  • I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and cannot view videos of my children learning to walk. Please help me.

    I just installed OSX Mavericks on my macbook pro yesterday now videos of my children learning to walk and talk don't play in iPhoto. Please help me get them working again.
    Thank you.

    I have never used the video format you use. However export the video from iPhoto and try and open it with Quicktime or VLC, if that works just export the videos that you require. Again I have not used those applications with that file format but VLC is reported to open most video files.
    That is unless another poster can sort out why iPhoto is not working for you.

  • I've just upgraded to "Lion" from "Snow Leopard" which to my surprise does not support "Appleworks" I've used Appleworks for a number of years for all correspondence etc. and need to continue using this software. Do I need to go back to Snow Leopard?   d

    I've just upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard and to my surprise it does not support my 'Appleworks' application software. Ihave used Appleworks for all correspondence for six years and need to refer to the files (letters etc.) from time to time. Is my only option to revert back to Snow Leopard?

    The reason appleworks no longer runs is because it is a powerpc based application.  Since it's end-of-life in 2007, it was never converted to intel architecture, since it was dropped as a supported product.  It continued to run on intel machines via rosetta, but OS X Lion formally discontinues all support for powerpc based programs.  Powerpc based applications can only be run on OS X 10.6.8 or earlier releases (ones that still support rosetta).
    So, it does sound like your best option is to move to iWorks' Pages now - otherwise you will be stuck with an increasingly more outdated operating system.  And if you should buy a new machine, it would not run the older versions of OS X anyway, so at some point you have to leave appleworks behind and move on.  Seems best to do it now, before Pages perhaps also moves forward to a point where it too may no longer support ancient file formats.

  • Voice mail does not list contact just number

    My new iPhone does not recognize incoming calls by name, just by the phone number. It automatically puts a 1 in front of the nine digit phone number; in my contact list, they are just listed by the 9 digit phone number. How do I get the phone to recognize the person calling by removing the one?

    Same problem...
    The Call Greeting Message setup option has completely disappeared from SKYPE.
    The web site says to access "Tools > Options > Calls > Voice messages" to setup the greeting message feature. Well, the link does not exist in the current version.
    I have been a paid subscriber since 2003. I rely on the call answering message feature to take my calls when I am unavailable. And now Skype has deleted the feature without even the courtesy of informing me in advance. I am pissed to the nines about this screwup!!!
    Since 2003 when I adopted Skype as my ONLY phone service, I have seen this product go steadily down hill. But in 2003 it was the only choice available. Skype is the MOST UNRESPONSIVE vendor I have ever encountered. And apparently they've gotten even worse since Microsoft bought the company.
    This is absolutely the "last straw". The next time this comes up for renewal I WILL NOT RENEW!
