MAIL: Recipient doesn't want his name appearing next to his email address
I use Mail on my MacPro w/ a gmail account. I have a client who doesn't want his name appearing next to his email address when I write to him. I've deleted his address book vcard & turned off the auto address completion in prefs. Still no good.
Any suggestions?
Go to Window -> Previous Recipients in Mail and delete his address there. It will add him to that list again next time you send him a message, so be sure not to include his name at that time.
I wonder what possible reason he could have for that? There's no rational reason I can think of for that. But you've got to do it the way he wants anyway, I suppose.

A have new problem that has appeared in my Mac Mail. When I type a frequently used email into the 'To: line' it populates the correct name but with 8 different email addresses not associated with that name. I have gone to the window pop-down to 'previous recipients' and deleted that addressee as well as all the email addresses it is assigning to that name. I have also deleted the account entirely from my address book. I have have run repair permissions and also full defrag in iDefrag. Still the problem persists. Any suggestions?

I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto. Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized. Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)
1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
Please can some one tell me how I can remove an ex boyfriends account from my iPad ? I want it update my updates but his email address always comes up and not mine
Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
Note that deleting an app will delete all of its content as well -
I have been using thunderbird for some years - in last month when I have been trying to send some emails I have a problem with some of them in that part of the email address has changed when I insert it ino the address bar and has inverted commas around the first part of the address before the @. I have tried deleting the addresses and re-inserting them but the same thing happens. If I go into the address bar and delete the commas the email is sent - can I overcome this problem without having to go into each email? I send out emails to many people and changing each one that has the problem takes a long time. Not every email address has this problem. Many thanks -Tim
ok, I've spent some time doing various scenarios.
I have managed to replicate one scenario which does as you say.
If my contact in the address book:
With name details as Peter Foo
email address: [email protected]
where there is an inserted space before the name peter, of course this is not instantly noticeable, but it is as if you hit the space bar just before typing the email address.
Then when I use the Contacts Sidebar in a Write message, it will add the email address like this:
Peter Foo <" peter"@somewhere.com>
which of course in invalid.
but in the address book, if highlight the contact, in the section below the email address in blue -if I click this to send an email the email address is printed exacly with the space and it will send as if nothing is wrong.
So i'm asking you to check those email addresses which insert incorrectly via the Contacts sidebar. They only do this for me if there is a hidden inserted space at the start of the email address. -

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.
Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up -
Hello,
I have a problem with a few emails i wrote which were in the outbox. The outbox disappeared all of a sudden with my mails... However they were not sent since the email address was not correct (just 3 initials). I was waiting to find out the correct email address of that person, put in in and then sen it...Is there a way to get it back somewhere on the ipad or in some cached folder?
Many thanks for an answe to this.
Swisslady2There is no cache where the emails would be stored on the iPad, but you could try quitting the mail app and then launch it again and see if the emails return.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button. Then try mail again. -

My husband and I have the same itunes password. When I tried to set up a separate one for him, it said that his email address was used as a backup on my phone so it could not have its own address. Where do I go to remove his address as my backup address....thanks
Hi theirmimi,
Go to Manage your Apple ID (on a computer) and sign in with your Apple ID. Then you can edit the email information on your account:

Hi
My Dad has set up his Apple ID with an old email address. I have deleted this ID and tried to create a new one with his correct email address. System is telling me that this email address is not available. What am l meant to do when this is Dads only email address? I have tried to answer the DOB question with no luck. I am trying to send to my rescue email address but l cannot get that option.Hi willett75,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like his email address may already be in use as an Apple ID and the system is directing you to try to reset that password via date of birth and security questions. Below is the link for assistance resetting a password, but in your situation, if you cannot get past DOB, it may be necessary for you to follow the link to contact Apple Support in the article.

If these steps didn't help you to reset your password, contact Apple Support.

I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request. He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!
If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.
