Linkedin Badge in Apple Mail

I have struggled to insert a Linkedin Badge in my Mail signature.  I can insert a hyperlink and it works after e-mailed to others.  However, when I insert the badge with the hyperlink, it appears to have an active link while in the signature page and e-mail before sent.  However, once I e-mail to another party the Badge seems to no longer have an active hyperlink.
Any simple instructions on how to do this.

Make sure to follow the instructions to the letter > How to Create Email Signatures with Pictures and Links | Mac|Life
It's working for me.

  • How do i add a LinkedIn badge to Apple Mail signature

    Does someone know how to add popular badges (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) to Apple Mail signatures.  Just badge icon with a hyperlink to my profile.

    Actually I just figured it out.  Within your public profile on LinkedIn is an area for LinkedIn badges on right side.  Click there and it will display several types of badges.  Right click on the badge you want to use and do a "save as" to desktop. 
    Now go into Mail preferences, signatures.  Copy and paste the icon you've saved to your desktop wherever you would like the badge to display within your signature.  Then go to Edit on top menu and select "add link".  This will open a box where you need to fill in your LinkedIn address that displays right below your profile photo.  Save this.
    This will turn the badge into a hyperlink that will connect to your LinkedIn Profile.  To test it, create a new email using this signature and do a test send.  When you receive the test email click on the badge to confirm that it takes you to your LinkedIn Profile.
    Good luck!

  • Apple Mail no longer showing unread messages in dock

    Apple Mail no longer shows unread e-mails in my dock.  I recently upgraded to 10.8.4.  The program is running and I have tried the various "Dock Unread Count" settings in Preferences.  I have also rebuilt the library envelope index files to no avail.  I have a lot of rules and over that I use to put e-mails in various folders - is it possible that the rules are interefering with the dock count even though they didn't under 10.7?

    In System Preferences > Notification Center, select Mail in the left hand column, and check the box, "Badge app icon" toward the bottom on the right.

  • Apple Mail message read status doesn't change when read

    In Apple Mail, when getting mail from an Exchange 2010 server on the corp LAN works great. However, on about 2 out of 10 messages, after I read the message it still has the "dot" showing it as unread and I have to manually select mark > as read. I even let it sit for a while thinking it has to sync but no luck. I still have to manually mark it. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

    To clarify something else, the unread mail badge disappears off of the app in the tray as well as the inbox in the lefthand column. But the blue dot remains on the conversation thread.

    Understood, the difference with iTunes being that Apple doesn't (currently) require you to enter any account info on the device until you try to purchase something from their store. Initial setup is just a connection to the iTunes software and you're good to go.
    While I understand that RIM wishes the account to be defined, they also need to be aware that doing so during the initial setup without proving an option to do it later, while failing to provide any means to change it afterwards (short of a device wipe) doesn't always suit the the situation. Hopefully they'll be reviewing the forums to gather feedback that they can incorporate into future software updates.

  • HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail.  I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud.  How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

    I set up .mac, including email, around 2006.  I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013. 
    I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11.  I'm still using that machine.
    In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
    I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account. 
    When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
    Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
    Thanks,

  • How do I restore an Apple Mail account to a previous date?

    I have three accounts in Apple Mail: my Exchange server account, and two IMAP accounts. I need to restore ONLY the Exchange server mailbox to where it was on April 1st and can't do so the normal way of having the Exchange mail stores restored.
    Is there anything in Time Machine back on April 1st that will either let me restore this account to that date, or at least act as an archive of the folders and their content that was in this account on that date?
    I see the folders names I need (corresponding to my Mail tree structure) under home/library/mail/exchange/ but when I open any of the folders they each have one .plist file in them...that's it...no messages.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    you still should be able to do it just like I said. When mail is active, start TM and go back to the time point where all those folders were still present. Highlight them and click restore.
    That's how TM is intended to work in Mail. really!
    If you don't believe me and are determined to do it in Finder you can do that too.
    Quit Mail and go to the folder homedirectory/Library/Mail
    select the folder for the mail account that used to contain all those folders.
    Start TM and go back to the time when those folders were there. restore them.
    Finally, move the file Envelope Index from homedirectory/Library/Mail to desktop and start Mail. Mail will say that it needs to import your data. say yes. It will reindex everything and you'll be back to where you want to be.

  • Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

    In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
    While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
    And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result.  The Connection Doctor window:
    The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list.  But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent  mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
    Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

    Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
    If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
    Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
    There might be more questions...

  • Apple Mail Setup (change the way the view is on my end)

    I need to hire someone about 13 on retainer, just to answer what I THINK should be easily answered questions. I have looked for about 15 minutes, searching for suggestions, others with similar issues, and at the end of the day, I F I N A L L Y found this 'start a discussion' button!!! Oh happy day! Now, the question that most might think ridiculously simple. On this page  http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/#mail there is a pic of an open mail application. If I wanted to setup MY mail client (which is, of course, Apple Mail) to look exactly like the image in the ad for OS X Mountain Lion (mail) how might I accomplish that task?
    AND, when I just went back to that page to get the URL, I noticed it states 'Mountain Lion.' I am still running Snow Leopard, and hoping that it really might not make a difference re the mail app.
    AND, since I just 'opened the door' re Mountain Lion, with my Snow Leopard running just fine (and it took a while to get there, but I kept at it, and finally have seen the 'apple bugs' fading to nil, and downloads from apple fixing any 'bugs' so I really don't want to go to Mountain Lion, unless I'm really missing the "Next Big Thing!" (thanks to Vince gill for the song title)!
    And thanks, really, to anyone that can suppress the urge to laugh at the quandry, and offer real help.
    (remember, there are NO stupid questions......
    only stupid people!)
    And yes, that is a simple pun, aimed more or less at people like me. I'm foolish enough to believe that if I spend over $2500 on a Mac, instead of spending $1100 for a high end gaggledanger PC, with a free 4Gig external hard drive with every purchase until 3/1/2013, that I might get something that was mucho mas operator friendly.
    But......on the other hand, owning 4 macs by now, I DO know that I have learned enough through a local Mac/Apple tech, and online support such as here, that I can download and install programs that used to baffle me, which brings me full circle back to the "should I buy the Mountain Lion software, and is it still considered an El Cheapo upgrade (from Snow Leopard) and have all the glitches (considering that this IS ... an Apple product, and is probably immune to such clutter as any issues with names consistent with insects and other gangster type vermin which have been known to 'infect' the lesser standard PC machines?

    That format was introduced with OS X 10.7, borrowing, I believe, from the iPhone. I just booted back to OS X 10.6, and couldn't find a way to get the mail column on the left with the message on the right. I can do that in OS X 10.7.
    If you want to upgrade, OS X 10.7 is available by calling the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE. OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is available from the App store. Note if you decide to upgrade to either, that you lose the ability to run PowerPC programs, as that support was dropped in OS X 10.7. People with Office 2004 found that out when it wouldn't run after the update. Later version of Office are OK. 

  • Apple Mail unable to forward attachments

    I called tech support and they said to save an attachment to the desk top - which is fine if it's 1 file and that works. I have one with 8 jpg files that goes with text and all I get are the blue boxes with the
    photos missing.
    I can't seem to find a work around with Apple Mail so I go to our Gmail account and send it from there.
    Any clue when Apple Mail will be improved? Simple tasks it can't seem to perform. With the iMac raved about for its graphics, find it hard to believe that I can't insert my .gif with my name being written by a rose. It's at those moments that I fire up the PC and use IncrediMail.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your encouraging post. Since calling Apple Care and the whiz in Apple Mail could only tell me how to forward one attachment, mind sharing how to forward more than one with text?
    I'm not forwarding attachments with each e-mail I send - most of our friends share lovely e-mails with animal photos combined with text. One yesterday had 8 photos but when I tried to forward it, I get the blue boxes.
    I tried using the forward and then the Message, forward as attachment, but still just the blue box with a question mark in it. If there is something "hidden", it sure isn't in "The Missing Manual" books and neither is tech support aware of it.
    Mind sharing? Thank you.
    How about changing the color default for outgoing messages? Tried everything and tech support couldn't solve that one either. It's all black; then highlight and then select a color.
    Wonderful to 'bump' into someone that knows these answers - sure
    appreciate your help.

  • ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

    The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
    I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

  • Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

    Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
    However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
    Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
    What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
    Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
    Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

    I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
    incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
    username: the part of your email address before the @
    password: your password
    outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
    Under Advanced
    Use SSL: On
    Authentication: Password
    Server Port: 995
    If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
    Hope that helps you.

  • Cannot send mail from apple mail or outlook- HELP- tried everything on Google- nothing works!

    Getting really disheartened after the thrill of getting a brand new iMac!
    I cannot get my email to work on Apple Mail or Outlook (which I pay for) at all!
    I can get the messages but not send any- and I have honestly tried EVERYTHING to get it to work- all port changes etcetc    
    Someone has mentioned you can change a smtp relay number which may be set to 0 as a default with Mac!
    I have been a PC for years so I am not sure what to do here and there is no tutorial that makes any sense on google.
    Someone please help me before I burst into flames!
    This is a work account and not being able to send emails doesnt help me.

  • Upgrading to Lion, used cloud, now my apple mail no longer syncs on my computer. Can't get any apple mail to come in. Mail window not working properly. Connection to Internet fine. Anyone know how to fix this issue? All worked fine until I opted for Cloud

    Hello,
    I am using a MacBook Pro. Bought in April 2011. Upgraded to Lion, OSX 10.7.3
    I have an Apple mail account that synced with a gmail account in my Mail Program.
    I then chose the CLOUD activation. I can find my mail if I go to cloud.com but I no longer get any Apple mail delivered to my Mail program on my computer. My gmail account syncs just fine. In fact, the Mail program doesn't even open any longer when I double click. I have to go to the Mail menu, select Message Viewer to even view my mail program now. The Internet connection is testing fine using the Connection Doctor. But when the Connection Doctor program just whirs for eternity and never finishes checking the accounts.
    Is this a bug? Do you have to set up your mailbox again for Apple mail to get it to sync after having mail hosted on the Cloud? Or does hosting on the Cloud mean I now always have to go the hassle of logging in at the cloud site to even access my Apple mail?
    Any ideas out there? I am sure there are Mac geniuses, the real ones, floating around in cyber space and would love to get some intelligent directions to solve this new issue.
    Cheers
    Anne

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,
    anne

  • Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

    I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail.  I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere.  Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not.  Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
    Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
    All files are primarily 3-4MB.
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
    Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
    Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
    The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
    You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.
