Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name

Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name.
Thanks

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
Any thoughts?

Previews does not actually "replace" if document with same name is open.

I am using FMP 9.0--When I "save records as PDF"....
IF I have a pdf open in Preview with the same name,
Preview offers to "save as",
tells me I have one w/the same name and asks if I want to replace...
I say YES....and
ONLY the older version is saved.
(I happen to be troubleshooting a script so the name is "toss.pdf"--several times. If the previous toss.pdf is not open it works as anticipated. Otherwise I do not actually "replace" the older one as preview leads me to believe.)
I have not tried this on a non-intel machine, so I don't know if it's Intel specific--or if it's just me...:-).
Not a huge problem, but it seems that if it is an issue it could use a fix..

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default it will automatically update the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections but if in any particular case it’s not happening then for a try you can restart the server and check the result again. In addition you can try running below command and check
the result.
Start-Process rundll32 -ArgumentList "tsworkspace,TaskUpdateWorkspaces2
More information:
Powershell to update "RemoteApp and Desktop Connections"
If a task is registered using the Administrators group for the security context of the task, then you must also make sure the Run with highest privileges check box is checked if you want to run the task. Please check “Task
Security Context” for more details.
Hope it helps!

Download and overwrite existing file with same name

Is there a way to tell Safari to erase previous versions of downloads, ie not adding a '-1' or '-n' to the file name, but overwrite an already existing file?

I was going to say "hurrah!" but..... no.
I does ask me for the file name, it does ask me if I want to replace, but it does not replace the file, and just saves it in dummy-1.ppt.
Funny thing: it has the expected behaviour for pdf files, where replacement actually occurs.
Bug report sent.

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
The files in these directories will be different.
These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

My macbook pro with OS 10.6.7 'mail' program does not send my mail through the IPS wireless, I am connected to. The message is my 'e-mail is rejected by the server'. It has been working until 5 days ago. The connection doctor says I am connected and no log in required.
After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
Thanks for your help

I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.
By the way, the subject field for these messages isn't intended to hold a lot of text. Put a short description of your problem in the subject field and save the rest of your message for the body field.

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives, what's up with that?

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives mail.
Says the outgoing mail server is wrong, but Comcast says it's right - what's up with that?
Is there a way to reload the standard (postage stamp icon) mail program?

Clearly there's something wrong with the configuration. Reverting to some other mail application (whatever the 'standard' one is...) won't help.
What does the Connection Doctor (Mail -> Window -> Connection Doctor) have to say about it?
Chances are your username/password for your SMTP server are incorrect.

In the mailbox panel move your cursor slowly down the right hand side . Should reveal show and hide.

The demand of my application is that i can not replace for loop with a while loop.because i need fixed number of iterations and as far as i know fixed iterations could be only with possible with the for loop.

the demand of my application is that i can not replace for loop with a while loop.because i need fixed number of iterations and as far as i know fixed iterations could be only with possible with the for loop.
your recommended second option that i could add true/false case.
this true/false case must be inside the for loop or outside the for loop?if this case is inside the for
loop, how can i send stop command from outer while
loop?
more over do you have any example for this please?
thanks"

You can execute a fixed number of iterations using a while loop by comparing the iteration count to the number of iterations you want and wiring the output of that comparison (e.g. Less Than or Equal To) to the continue (or stop) terminal of your while loop. Which comparison you use depends on personal preference, where you wire the desired count and the interation count, and whether you're using the while loop as Continue if True or Stop if True.
Ben gave you step-by-step instructions in response to your previous question. Look here for Ben's response.
Ben's response looks pretty good and detailed to me. It certa

I recently upgraded my IMac to Lion and have found that my mail account does not include a "mail trash" category similar to "mail sent", making it difficult to retrieve mails I might have sent to trash but find I need some information from. Suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem on my iMac. I can receive email from imap.mail.yahoo.com, but cannot receive from smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I have not changed these settings in years and as of a few days ago they stopped working. These settings work fine on my iPhone and iPad.
So far I have:
-Deleted accounts and reestablished them
-Deleted the Mail preference file ->com.apple.mail.plist

Agent install with replacement machine with same name

we replace old workstations with new ones with same name, SCCM does not update, it still shows the machine with an active agent, but it never gets installed on the new machine. what do I need to do to get the agent on the new machines?
Pat

Hi,
If you are trying to use autimatic client push it will not install the client that scenario as the computername is already active in SCCM. You could use a startup script in a GPO to always make sure that the client is installed on all computers, Jason Sandys
has written a great one, you can find it here..
http://blog.configmgrftw.com/configmgr-client-startup-script/
In the scenario above you also risk getting a duplicate in SCCM as the new computer with the old name has new hardware.

How to delete one existing file before uploading a file with same name?

Hello everybody.
I am uploading a file to Tomcat server. But, the problem is:
i want to delete an existing file in the server, if i upload a fresh file with same name. In other words, "First check for the file with the same name in the server. If it exists, then delete existing file in the server and upload fresh one". If such file doesnot exist, then upload the file to server.
I have given deleteonExit()
but, for the first time when user is uploading, i want to check for the file with same name in the server.
i am pasting the code here. please help:

<%
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0))
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength)
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead, formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
String contextRootPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
contextRootPath=contextRootPath.concat("uploaded");
String file = new String(dataBytes);
String saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
// Create a directory; all ancestor directories must exist
File outputFile = new File(contextRootPath, saveFile);
var=outputFile.getPath();
outputFile.createNewFile();
int lastIndex = contentType.lastIndexOf("=");
String boundary = contentType.substring(lastIndex + 1,contentType.length());
int pos;
pos = file.indexOf("filename=\"");
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
int boundaryLocation = file.indexOf(boundary, pos) - 4;
int startPos = ((file.substring(0, pos)).getBytes()).length;
int endPos = ((file.substring(0, boundaryLocation)).getBytes()).length;
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
fileOut.write(dataBytes, startPos, (endPos - startPos));
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
outputFile.deleteOnExit();
%>Please help. Thanks for taking time.

Thank you MartinHilpert,
I have one more doubt,
I am uploading the file to one folder called "uploaded". Before uploading a fresh file, i want to delete all existing files in that folder. IS that possible ?? If yes, can you please tell me how to do that ??
Regards, Thanks for your time.

When we click on the copy botton record with same name should not be saved

Hi,
Copy button will copy the record with the same name and will save it.our requirement is when we click on the copy botton ,record with same name should not be saved
we are performing this task in custom object 12 and exposed Opportunity Name in the layout.
Records with same Opportunity Name should not save ..when we copy the record
Can we perform any field validation on Opportunity Name field?
Please help
please email me @ [email protected]
Thanks
Srinivas Merugu

Opportunities that are assoicated to the same account cannot have the same name. You cannot make this unique for your whole instance. The only way that you could do this would be to create a webservice application that checks this before you save the record.
What about defaulting the name each time this could make the record unique?
