Mail signatures no longer linked to accounts

I've had Mavericks installed since it first came out & most gliches have cleared up. After the last recent upgrade (10.9.2), none of my signatures in Mail are linked any longer to my email accounts. The signatures are still listed (thank goodness) in the Mail>Preferences>Signatures, but I've had to relink them which is cumbersome as I have several different email accounts. This has happened to all of our Macs that were upgraded; two at home and several networked Macs at work!

Found the BUG!
If the first mail account does not have a signature assigned, NO OTHER mail account can have any

Can't set up mail using a long used .mac account.

I'm trying to set up my new iPad and can't get my mail set up. I've had an account with MobileMe all the way back to when it was .Mac and I still use that account on my iMac, Powerbook and iPhone. Under Mail, Contacts, Calendars to add an account I select MobileMe. The only information I'm prompted to fill out is Apple ID and Password. No area to add Name or Description was given. I entered the Apple ID I've had for years as well as password and a blank window comes up with a Cancel and Save button. I click Save and the account shows up but has Inactive under the name.
I've deleted this account and tried again as well as trying to enter it as a .Me account. When I do that I get the message "MobileMe Mail Not Available. This Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe Mail, but you can use it for other MobileMe services. There are two buttons to choose from.... "Don't Add" and "Add Anyway".
When I add a different .Me account, one that I've only had for a year or less I have no problems. It acts as the primary account on my device.

When it says "Inactive" that just means that you don't have that account turned on in Settings. If you don't turn it on it doesn't appear anywhere else in Mail.

Cannot include Logo Image in Mail Signature for Email

Hi
I am trying to simply include a small 3 kb GIF file
in my Mail signature for my professional Email Account
and the problem is:
1. When I drag and drop the GIF file into my Signature field,
it automatically scales it up like 100% and is huge, pixelated and blurry
2. For some reason, when I try this same thing in All Signature field,
it works fine
Problem is, I still cannot get my professional email account, the one I want
to have the GIF logo in, to have this image
Please help
thanks

Hi again,
I can't think what I'm doing wrong... I upload the image - and I've tried this on our own webserver, imageshack, photobucket -, then copy the image location from the address bar en paste it into Sea Monkey for the image location... and broken link after broken link...
Isn't there another quicker fix for this issue?
<edit> ok i'm one step further. I've now got an image uploaded that actually shows up in Sea Monkey.
Now, for this to work, do the resulting html file and web archive also need to be on a remote computer???
No that's not necessary. those can be on your local computer. I think you are almost there. save the html file, open it in safari, save it as webarchive and substitute it for the webarchive with the dummy signature.

My mail signature links no longer work

my mail signature links no longer work

Hello Immunetoall,
What video links?
Are they stored locally on the computer or are you visiting a website?
What browser do you use?
Where do these videos link to? (e.g. youtube)
What happens when you click on a video link? Saying "it doesn't work" doesn't really tell me what you are seeing to be able to accurately understand your issue.

Multiple email accounts in mac mail signatures

My boss uses Mac Mail with five different email accounts, each with an associated email signature.
When she composes an email, the "from" field defaults to whichever email account she used last, and its associated signature appears in the email. This is her issue since switching to Mavericks (not sure which version) : When she switches the "from" field from, say, her personal account to her legal practice account, both signatures appear in the email. In other words, the signatures don't switch when she switches accounts-- they just pile up at the end of the email.
Is there a setting that will allow her signatures to switch with the accounts, rather than her needing to go back and delete the additional signatures?

1. OK, so I see a menu of outgoing smtp servers. Does that replace the 'sent from' field or is it just using that server to send the message?
The SMTP server is unrelated to the 'from' address.
The pop-up menu referenced only exists if you have multiple accounts configured in Mail.app preferences - if you only have one account then there's no point in Mail.app offering the chance to choose which account to send from.
You should use Mail Preferences to create additional accounts, one for each email address you use. Each account can be linked to a specific SMTP and POP/IMAP server for sending and receiving mail for that address.
If you have multiple addresses that you use with a single SMTP/POP/IMAP account then you can use a single Account setup in preferences - just list each email address in a comma-delimited list in the 'email address' field. e.g. creating an account with 'email address' set to: '[email protected], [email protected]' will give you options for those two email addresses when you create a new message.

HT5361 My apple mail will no longer allow me to select a signature and have it display in outgoing mail.

My signature is no longer appearing in my new outgoing mail message drafts. When I attempt to select the right signature, the dropdown in the email draft says 'none'
Under mail preferences--signatures--choose signatures it also says none and does not let me select anything though two signatures exist tied to this account.
Since I didn't create the issue I also don't know how to fix it and all attempts so far have failed. Feedback desired.

Mail > Preferences > Signatures
Drag the signatures you want to use to the account. Then relaunch Mail.

Mail signature links

Hi All,
When creating an email signature with icon links to other websites at the bottom, the icons go missing after a while.
I have a work email account on outlook, i copy and paste my work email signature to my ipad or iphone in mail -> signature, which works for a while, then after a certain amount of time and then stops. When i send a test email to myself from my ipad or iphone the icons show as blank squares and in outlook (my work email account) where the icons should be i get "the linked image cannot be displayed"
Is there a reason why this happens or a way to stop this from happening?
I have tried copying and pasting again, and even do the ipad or iphone shake once its copied to undo any changes, so that the email signature stays the same.
Regards
Adam.

Suddenly blue links in Mail message no longer open

Assisting an elderly relative. He has a six year old iMac running Tiger. Uses Apple Mail
He has two mail accounts. One from his ISP (POP) and an IMAP account for his AOL mail. The latter is the account into which most of his messages come.
Suddenly last week he finds that hyperlinks in any mail message no longer open. Formerly he clicked on the blue link and the link opened in Safari.
Now nothing happens when he clicks on a blue link which has been included in a mail message. Control clicking on the link also does not work.
What might have gone wrong and how do we fix this?
(His browser is working perfectly ; links on a web page open)

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
(And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
Thanks for all responses.

The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
Thx.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

In Yosemite Mail, there is an issue where the signatures no longer toggle as in the past. If you change the existing signature, it just adds the new one vs replacing it within the body of the message. Thoughts?

Hi howe.sc,
When I checked for how signatures in Yosemite work, I found this.
Mail (Yosemite): Include signatures in messages
Delete a signature from a message: Select the signature, then press the Delete key.
Replace a signature in a message: Delete the existing signature, then add a different signature.
That sounds similar to what you are describing.
Take care,
Nubz

How do you link an image within a Mail signature to a website?

I do link words to a website, but I can't find how to link images in Mail signatures to websites. Could anyone help? THX!

Hi drewdollar,
If you have Acrobat, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool on the Content Editing pane of the Tools panel. Just select Edit Text & Images, and then drag the image where you'd like it to appear on the page.
Best,
Sara

Why can't I add links to sociocons in Mail signatures?

I'd like to find out how I can add sociocons (small icons that link to social media web pages) to my Mail signature.
I can do it easily in MS Outlook for Mac, but I cannot get the images (icons) to accept links in Mac Mail signatures.
There's no option to "Add Link..." when I add an image into my signature in Mail, but I know that people have done it.
The sociocons are graphic images (PNG, JPG, GIF, or etc.)
They are icons that link to social media, hence "sociocons" I know you can add a link to text, but why not images/icons?
It's standard practice today in business, and I feel that Apple Mail is holding us back.
