Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
Could it be a graphics card problem?
Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks from Japan!
Dan

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

IPhoto Events with video only not showing in Photos.app with iOS 4.2.1

I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3GS and when I open the Photos.app the videos and the event with the videos in do not show. I have created a new video on the iphone, synched ok with IPhoto but re-sycnhing with iPhone again does not show videos in Photos.app
Has anyone found a fix for this bug?

The same thing happened to me. I was on a mission yesterday to fix it, but didn't get it to work. I have 1 more thing i want to try... but haven't had a chance.
Has anyone fixed this?
My plan is to unsync photos to remove them from my phone, delete all the photo cache information from the iPhoto Library package, empty the trash, reboot my computer AND iPhone, open iPhoto to make sure they're sorted correctly, and then sync my phone. If that doesn't fix it... i dont know, i might call Apple.

Go to the Preferences>Performance tab and uncheck the "Use Graphics Processor" option. Adobe are aware of this issue, and are investigating, but in the meantime unchecking that option should sort out your Develop module issues.

Old email tranfer from Mail 1.2.5 on OS10.2.8 to Mail 2.1 on OS10.4.10

Please could someone tell me how to transfer all my stored emails (organised neatly in folders) on my old G4 running Mail 1.2.5 on OS10.2.8 to a newer G5 running Mail 2.1 on OS10.4.10. I tried using the "import mailboxes" menu option on the recipient computer and initially all looked good with all the mailboxes showing up and the title of the emails displayed. However, the body of the emails were all missing.
Also, I can't get Firewire disk mode to work for my older computer but I do have a USB memory stick and have also "cloned the G4 (source computer with old emails) hard drive onto an external Firewire drive (using Superduper) and have mounted the clone onto the recipient G5s desktop.
Thanks very much

What exactly have you done to try to import those mailboxes? Does the same happen if you try to import them as Other one at a time?
Can you see in the Finder whether Mail does actually create an Import folder in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ after importing the mailboxes?
Can you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail by means of Mailbox > New Mailbox or does Mail complain with some error message when you try to do that?
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

Attachments in mail show up as squares with question marks

When I open the Mail program and the email has an attachment the attachment shows up as squares with question marks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Take your screenshot, then reply to this message and click the camera icon in the editing window. Click the "Choose File" button and select the screenshot. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, search for that term in the built-in help.

Apple mail search finds the message but cannot show its content, why?

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed on it. All the updates are also installed.
The problem is that I can quickly find a message among 100,000 messages sorted in different folders in Apple Mail, but as I click on the message, it keeps showing "loading..." and never shows the content of that message.
When I manually go to that message, Mail shows the content properly. So it happens only when I try to see the content of the message that has been found through search function.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Farshid

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "mdworker" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Select the most recent 50 or so messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are long runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Do the same with the search string "mds".

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

BT Mail Error Message: An error occurred when show...

I login (successfully) to BT Broadbaand.
I select BT Mail
I select my Inbox
After a 'Please wait...' message I get an error message:
An error occurred when showing the email list
Error with email list.
[OK] [Retry]
So, I can't read any of my Inbox emails. This is serious; I cannot afford to not receive emails promptly.
Can anyone advise, please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, but as you say, I'm struggling with Windows Live Mail issues. I've been using Firefox all along, since well before I moved to BT (on the 13th).
I'm wondering if this problem is connected, although BT Mail was fine the previous time I was online and I haven't changed a thing since then. Another advisor also suspects a BT Cloud issue is linked to Windows Live Mail.
I've just removed anything to do with Windows Live Mai from my PC and reset my router, but this email inbox problem is still there.

Apple Mail shows iCloud as offline with my Apple ID

Apple Mail shows iCloud as offline with my Apple ID, but works fine with wife's different Apple ID

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Help! Mail menus and icon text are all showing in Chinese/Asian characters!

I am helping someone with their iMac G5 computer. A couple of days ago, all of a sudden the Mail program (v. 2.13) has all the menus, icon text, and mail folder descriptions (Inbox, Trash, Drafts, Sent, etc.) all showing in what looks to be Chinese (or other oriental language). I checked in System Prefs and language still set to US. None of the other program menus or text seem to be effected--just Mail. Anyone know what caused this or how to fix?? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I am looking at the links you posted, but the problem here seems different. If you go into Mail, in the menu at the top, the word Mail is in English, then all of the other menu choices are written in what definitely appears to be an oriental language. If you click on a menu, all of the choices in the drop down menu are also oriental language. The e-mails themselves are in English, however the date of the e-mail is showing in oriental. On the left side, the words Inbox, Trash, etc. are all written in oriental as are the words under the icons. And, it's only in Mail. It just started doing this yesterday and the computer owner doesn't know why.
Thanks so much for any further ideas/suggestions. I am going back to read more in the links you sent, but this seems a different problem.

Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

Is there a way to add this automatically?
For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".
