Mail Preferences Dialogue Box

I don't appear to be getting the correct dialogue box when I click on "Mail", "Preferences". A dialogue box that is titled "Accounts" appears. I know looking at a friends Mac, he gets an entirely different box. We both appear to have the same version of mail....
How do I get the correct box?
Thanks

Aren't there some tabs at the top of the preferences window ranging from "Accounts", "RSS", "Junk" to "Signatures" etc.? Just click on one of these buttons to open up the corresponding settings window. (Note: The preferences window always opens up with the tab that was last used.) Did that solve your issue?

How to modify System Preferences dialogue box text.

I know that to change any dialogue box for the finder the path is Devices (name of your device) > (drive name) > System > Library > CoreServices > Finder.app > Contents > Resources > English.lproj. If you open that file with Text Wrangler you can modify any finder message to whatever you want it to be, my question is how can you do the same thing but for the System Prefrences application? I don't know what path to follow for that. Thank you for any possible assistance!

I'm specifically trying to modify the dialogue box that appears when you want to modify (add or delete) user accounts in System Prefrences "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences. Type your password to allow this." However I can't seem to find it in either the Finder or System Preferences English.lproj files. Where else might I look? Or do you think I just missed it?

NO PRINTER PREFERENCES DIALOGUE BOX IN CS3 FOR EPSON R2880

I am running CS3 on a mac OS X and have just bought an Epson printer R2880. I cannot get any dialogue box up that will give me any printer options other than the basic print size, orientation and position on the paper. My only solution so far is to Copy & Paste into Pages where I can access a few more options & get reasonable prints. Has anyone found a way round this ?

Sorry, Ill expand.
Its Mac OS/X Leopard. Running Adobe CS3. When I try and print a photo from Adobe CS3, I go to file print which displays a dialogue box (Titled Print). This dialogue box displays many print options e.g. size and orientation , position on the page etc but not a facility i.e dialogue box to select the paper type as an example e.g photo glossy , photo matt etc. These options are available from many of the other programs such as Pages and Easy Print and various other applications. Indeed I can take a photo from CS3 , convert to tiff as an example and print using these options from Easy Print. I would however like to access the full printer settings from CS3. I think this issue has been seen before in the professional range of printers.
I have spoken to Epson who say their printer and driver is fine as all the facilities work from other apps.
Adobe support said CS3 didnt support the preferences but to try a forum to see how people get round it. Hence here I am!
It is very strange that a photo application as advanced as CS3 wont let me choose a paper type for a semi professional printer like the Epson R2880.

System preferences dialogue box has gone awol

I was trying to watch a video on the support area of the apple site and had no sound. I clicked the apple top left and clicked system preferences but no panel appeared. nothing appeared, just the desk top. I tried the System Preferences icon in the dock at the bottom of the screen but again nothing appeared on the desktop. this worked before, any suggestions?

Hi,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.systempreferneces.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. If that didn't help, go back to your Home folder Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file to the Trash. See if that helps.

How do I get to the bottom of a dialogue box that isn't visible? Critical Mail problem!

I tried sending an email to a long list of recipients in a group. For some reason, I got a werid dialogue box about how it my SMTP server didn't recognize some addresses (though they all seem fine). No big deal, normally I would just edit the message and fix/delete the offending email addresses. However, the bottom of the warning dialogue is off screen and I can't scroll down. All I can do is hit "enter" and try to resend. But then I get a repeat.
The message in question is not seen in either my Outgoing, Sent, or Drafts folders. At least not when the dialogue box is open. So I can't just kill the message.
I also can't quit Mail while this message is up. I can go to the Finder and force quit. But then if I restart Mail the dialogue box pops right back up and I'm stuck where I was before.
Basically, I just need to know how to get to the bottom of the warning dialogue box so that I can click on the "edit message" button.
Help?!
Oh, I'm running the most updated version of OS X Lion.

I did that twice. Once, about an hour ago. And nothing changed. I did it again about twenty minutes ago, and still nothing. A few minutes ago I tried yet another force quit. And .... that seemed to do the trick. The offending email message is gone.
So my problem seems to be solved.
But the larger issue remains of a major bug in Mac OS, it seems. If a dialogue box is larger than the screen size, how is someone ever going to be able to deal with closing it or anything else? It would make sense to automatically allow the cursor to scroll down to the very bottom of any dialogue box, regardless of its size. After all, that's how windows work, right?
Crazy!

Camera Raw Preferences dialogue.

Hello everyone,
I have looked everywhere around the net to find some info about the Camera Raw preferences dialogue box in Elements 11 and what the settings mean/change. All I can find is 'Preferences - allows you to change the Camera Raw preferences'.
There must be a reason for having a preferences dialogue icon/window in Camera Raw, the button is right up there next to the rotate buttons. Does anyone know what the settings do and how/why one would use them?

There's not much about just the elements version of camera raw, but there are quite a few articles about the full version of camera raw as it is in photoshop.
Some of the stuff mentioned won't be in the elements version, but it does describe just about every function in camera raw.

(down almost at the end of the page)
Also, the latest version of camera raw is 7.4, so might want to update pse 11 by going to Help>Updates from within the
photoshop elements 11 editor.

Mail doesn't open. and NO dialogue box!

Hello!
This is the first time this has ever happened to me. Mail doesn't open. The icon in the dock jumps up once but that's it. No dialogue box or any other warnings. I even tried to open it from the Finder but that doesn't work either.
I don't know what else to do as I can't even look at any preferences nor do I want to delete the programme as I need my emails (i use it for work so can't loose all those emails, if I haven't done that already).
Does anybody have an idea what else I can try? Thanks!

This is the strangest thing ever. I created a new user account along with a password but it doesnt let me log in as that user. As a matter of fact I can't even log in under any of my users (not even the "guest" where there is no password required!) and yes, I do know the passwords.
Therefore couldn't check whether Mail opens in another account.

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... and everything is frozen. How can I get rid of this thing, and what is it? I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it.

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen. I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it - and then reload my Firefox browser to get back to my yahoo e-mail page ... fortunately for me, Firefox re-stores a previous session ... How can I get rid of this intrusive thing, and what is it? Thanks in advance ... Ted Beaudoin, Welland, ON, Canada

Remove VideoFileDownload and find a downloader that doesn't contain TextEnhance.

I can't print selected text in a Print dialogue box in Yahoo mail or my bank site. I used to, now I can't.

I am having this problem both in my online banking site and when using Yahoo Mail. When I click on Print on either of these sites and then close the Print dialogue box that automatically comes up, highlight just the text I want printed, then hit Ctrl+P and choose Selection, Print Preview shows me a blank page. When I try printing the selection using either of the 2 printers I have, it prints a blank page. And yet when I do the same thing in Internet Explorer, I have no trouble printing the text I want. I tried doing the prefs.js troubleshoot, deleting everything in that file that starts with print, but it made no difference. I used to be able to print this way in Firefox no problem, but now it doesn't work. Why not, and how do I get it to work again? I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 11.

A bug was introduced in the latest version of Firefox that affects printing selections that are inside a table. Because many pages use tables for general layout (without displaying the borders), this may appear to strike at random.
A fix is expected in Firefox 12. More information: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294 how to get print selection to work | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
If you expand your selection to include some content outside the table, then the feature should work, but of course it would include some unnecessary information.

How to skip dialogue box which ask you to confirm the operation when your used labview to send an e-mail from Outlook?

I'm using Labview to send an e-mail from outlook and everytime I got a dialogue box which inform that a software is trying to send an e-mail. To send this e-mail I have to confirm operation. How can I avoid this dialogue box ?

I don't know what code you're using but the attached VI works with my version of Outlook and doesn't have any pop-up messages. I downloaded it from somewhere a while ago but don't remember where it was from.

Automator solution to dismiss Mail.app "no subject" dialogue box?

Hello!
I have a client who is so busy they can't deal with the "no subject" dialogue box presented by Mail.app when trying to send email without a subject line.
Surely Automator could be set up to automatically confirm these dialogue boxes? No?
Many thanks for your thoughts...

Look in your Applications folder for the correct version of Mail. You're probably using an older copy of Mail that was removed from the Applications folder. The correct version is 5.1.
Or, use your Spotlight to locate the correct version of Mail.

Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

Buttons cut off in Dialogue Box for Mail

Hey, I was using Mail to send out an email to my the people within my company, and a dialogue box came up saying cannot send through the selected server. Thats was fine, but unfortunately I can't close the dialogue box because the buttons at the bottom are cut off, since there were too many addresses 150+ of them.
Is there a way i can scroll down a dialogue box to close it so I can resume using mail? thanks

Greetings,
Unfortunately, there's no way to access those buttons to close the box; you'd have to just quit Mail and restart it.
But instead of putting the addresses of everyone in the To: field, you should just put one address there (your own) and BCC all the rest of the addresses. That way, I believe if this happens again, you won't have all those addresses popping up in a long list that you can't close.
