.Mac aliases no longer appearing in Account pop-up menu

Hi, a couple of days ago I noticed that my .Mac aliases are no longer listed in the Account pop-up menu of new messages. I thought it's a temporary .Mac problem, but this has continued.
The account is a .Mac account (not POP nor IMAP), and I can go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts and click on the "Edit Email Aliases" button and can see that they are all still there on .Mac.
How can I get them to show up again?

Hi Hilal.
I don’t know whether this would make a difference, but it may be worth a try:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Alias' in account pop-up menu when composing a message

    I cannot get my alias' to show up in my account pop-up menu. I have entered them several times in the mail/preferences/accounts/email address with comas inbetween but when I save them, they dissappear. I can no longer send email from my alias' because it does not give them to me in the account menu. How do I get them to stay?

  • TS3147 My printer was no longer being detected, so I uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall it I discovered that I no longer have a printer pop up menu to select my printer.

    I had a power failure and then began getting a message that the printer (Canon Pixma 610) was not detected. So, I unplugged it from the computer, restarted the computer and no change. The printer was still showing as the default printer, but not being detected. So I deleted the printer and then tried to reinstall it. However, when I clicked on the + sign to reinstall nothing came up. The screen was blank with no printer choices. I went to the Canon website to try and download the driver and received this message: There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. I would appreciate any help...

    I finally contacted Canon and they informed me that my printer is not compatible with Maverick
    As Greg stated, the Canon support person is simply referring to what they see on the web and knosw nothing about Mac's. The reality is that the v10.8 driver will work on 10.9. You just may need to get past Gatekeeper to install it. So here is a link to the v10.8 driver. If you get a message stating that the driver is not signed and cannot be installed, then this is Gatekeeper blocking it. So to install it, right click (or Control-click) on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. Now you will have the option to install.
    The second issue is the printer not appearing in the Add printer window. The USB cable is often the cause as suggested already. Also USB hubs can be a cause. To check if the Mac can see the printer, open System Information and select USB in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses in your Mac. The MP610 should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not present, then try another USB cable and/or another USB port on the Mac. Until you see the MP610 in this view, you will not be able to add the printer.

  • .mac aliases

    I have several aliases set up in my .mac account. I just started using Mail to access that account, and I get mail sent to any of the aliases, but they don't show up with the colors as they do in .mac, and I cannot send from any of them.
    I know I'm supposed to select an address from the "accounts" pop-up menu, but there is no pop-up menu for that.
    I'm running OS 10.3.9, and Mail v 1.3.11

  • Self-made pop-up menu

    Hey guys,
    This is the first time I've been working with fireworks, so you might have a little patience with me. I'm a hard-learner.
    Here's the deal: I'm about to design a little website and wanted to use a selfmade pop-up menu, since I don't like the designs of the menus fireworks offers.
    I've cut the page into segments, dragged each of the little cross lines in the middle of their own segment and chosed a status.
    And that's where my trouble starts. I have 3 statuses, but I can't get them to work right.
    So when the mouse is over the word "team" in the navigation bar, the word "team" changes color and size as I wanted it, and a little pop-up menu appars underneath it.  
    status 1-> status 2: works!
    But when I roll the mouse over the single names that appear in the pop-up menu of "team", I want them to change the color as well and as it is described in status 3, but it won't.
    status 2 -> status 3: doesn't work!!!
    So what's the problem? What did I miss or do wrong???
    Hope you guys can help me.
    So long

    Hi Linda,
    so this it is. I'm not really familiar with .png files, but I assume, that you can "experience" effects like mouseovers with that, right?
    So the problem is, when you roll with your mouse over team, three names appear. Now I want the background of these names to change again to a different colour, when the mouse is moved over these names. I hope you understand what I mean.

  • How do I extract the list from a pop up menu back into Numbers?

    Hey guys
    I made a few very large lists in pop-up menus in Numbers, and I would like to extract those lists and put them
    in a seperate Numbers file.
    Is there a way that I can take the lists I made and sort of copy paste them /export them / extract them, so I don't
    have to manually copy them?
    Thanks in advance!
    Derk

    Hi Derk,
    Numbers doesn't seem to allow access to the values within a Pop-Up Menu, either through the native interface or through AppleScript.
    However, if you are using Numbers 3.2 and you have a long column formatted as Pop-Up Menu where you have "used" each the choices in the menu somewhere in the column, then you can collect a list of those values with the script below.
    Copy the script into AppleScript Editor.
    Select the cells in the body of your column formatted as Pop-Up Menu.
    Click the green triangle 'run' button.
    Click once in a destination cell in any Numbers document.
    Command-v or Edit > Paste & Match Style to paste the list of values.
    SG
    --places values from cells formatted as Pop-Up onto clipboard for pasting
    try
              tell application "Numbers"
                        set t to front document's active sheet's first table whose selection range's class is range
                        set {valuesList, valuesStr} to {{}, ""}
                        tell t's selection range to repeat with aCell in cells
                                  if aCell's formatted value is not in valuesList then
                                            copy aCell's formatted value to end of valuesList
                                            set valuesStr to valuesStr & aCell's formatted value & return
                                  end if
                        end repeat
                        set the clipboard to valuesStr
                        display notification "Click a cell and command-v to paste." with title "Numbers"
              end tell
    on error
              display alert "Did you select cells before running."
    end try
    --end of script

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • Account pop-up disappeared?

    I have an account with an alias, and in the account info, the alias address follows the account address with a comma. But the Account pop-up does not appear in the Compose window. There is no way to send using the alias.
    This is not a facility I use very often, and I am not sure just when the menu disappeared. Maybe on the 10.4.5 upgrade? OTOH, not long ago I added a second account definition for a different server, maybe it disappeared then...
    Any suggestions on what I can check or change to get the Account popup?
    Thanks...

  • How do i uninstall a purchased app (that no longer appears in the purchased app list in the store) so that i can repurchase and have the app appear as "purchased" so that i can get updates as the software is updated periodically?

    I am looking for some help with the app store.  I recently purchased an app (aperture) in the app store and subsequently apple refunded the purchase price.  However, the downside of this is that aperture no longer appears as a "purchased" app within my app store account.  Accordingly, i don't believe i will get updates as the software is updated periodically.  Apple has instructed me to delete all my aperture files, reboot and then revisit the app store to re-download and it should let me pay for the app and redownload just as if i had never had the app before.  However, when i go to purchase aperture, i get a warning that it has already been purchased and that i can re-download for free.  That sounds great but again it won't appear in the "purchased" list in the app store b/c of the original refund from apple.  I never thought i would have this much trouble trying to pay someone for a product! 
    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    Many thanks for your help!

    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

    When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD.  When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD.  Any suggestions on how to resolve??

    I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately. 
    I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
    Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud. 
    You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
    I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
    If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
    Hope this helps.
