Mail VIP list not showing "all VIPs" or useable in Smart mailboxes

Hi there,
I thought I'd give the Mail app a go again in Yosemite after abandoning it when it all went horribly wrong in Mavericks.
I can't get the VIP list to work properly though. I have VIPs and I can open the VIP list to select an individual VIP (I have about 50) but I want to click on the main VIPs label to see mails from all VIPs. Specifically, I want to limit to the view to Inbox Only, so I can see all messages from any VIP that is currently in my inbox. The problem is, no mail shows when clicking on the main VIPs label, only when I click on individual VIP names. Also, if I create a Smart mailbox, using Sender is VIP, nothing works (no mails are found). I can still select multiple individual VIPs out of the list and that will show them all, but it's a pain and just doesn't seem like the right thing to do. in iOS, tapping on the VIP inbox, lists all mails from VIPs, why not on the mac too?
Anyone else having the same problems?
As a further clue. When you click on one mail box to another, the list of mails instantly changes to show the mails in the new mailbox. This is true if you click from an individual mailbox to the 'group' one. But, if I click from any mail box (that is showing mail) to the mail VIPs group, then the mails from the previous mailbox are still shown, ie the view doesn't re-fresh. I have to click on the main VIPs tab twice to get the mail list to refresh (which then refreshes to an empty list due to the problem above).
This is driving me mad!

I have worked this out for myself and fixed the problem.
It's down to a bug in Mail (or possibly Spotlight). I had a VIP with an apostrophe in her email address which Mail wasn't handling properly and it was causing the search query to fail. Removing that contact from the VIP list fixed my issue.
Technically, what's happening is that the code wasn't "escaping" this special character and that was causing a syntax error in the search query.

Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages?

Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages? Or has this feature been removed?

Agreed! This feature was very useful. If you find out how to turn it on, please let me know.
Apple, there is plenty of room in the window header all the way across on both sides of the word "Inbox". It's important to know many messages are in the Inbox. It provides a progress meter when you're cleaning out mail and striving for inbox zero.

Parameter list not showing all in BIP Report

Hi Expert,
I created a parameter list in BI Publisher, type is menu. I can only select on org, if I use "ALL",actually is the default, I want show all the orgs, but it won't show anything. How do I make it work?
Thank you!

Just type this in your where clause:
where org =nvl(:p_org, org)This is because when you select "All" as parameter value the actual value being passed to the query is "null".
Therefore when the where clause is evaluated the nvl function will return org making redundant the condition
and thus will run your query for all org values :)
It is explained here:

Hope this helps

Infopath Drop Down List not showing all items in a list

I have an Infopath form where I have a vendor drop down and then I filter the product list based on the vendor. The problem is the drop down list is only filtering through the first 100 records. I added a second drop down with the model#'s and no filter and there is only 100 values showing. I checked the All Items view and it is set to display all records. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi all,
If I want a drop down list in InfoPath (data coming from a SharePoint list) to be in a particular order I query the SharePoint list via this method
http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/01/15/populating-form-data-from-sharepoint-list-views.aspx
You can create a data connection to a particular view in SharePoint - make sure that view is sorted how you want it to be and the item limit is set to 9999.
You do not need code for this method and it works in browser enabled forms.
The people picker (which also works in browser enabled forms) http://metahat.blogspot.com/2007/05/people-picker-control-for-infopath-2007.html can help with those of you trying to get a list of users.
Cheers.

Artist list not showing all tracks by same (iOS 5.01)

Hi
For some reason, I cannot see all the tracks by a particular artist when I select the "Artist" view.
When browsing through the list of songs, or albums, or playsists, the tracks appear, listed with the correct (exact) artist name.
Similarly, I have a few compilations, which have the album artist listed as "various". This casues the tracks to be listed under artist "various" rather than the ACTUAL artist in the artist view under Music in the iPhone, though it and the above are listed correctly on iTunes on my mac.

I don't know if you have resolved this with your iPhone/iPod Touch running iOS5, but I thought I would share a revelation for anyone who tried the "compilation" deselect process and didn't get the desired results...
What I discovered was that somehow during the upgrade to iOS5, my iTunes decided to deselect the "Sync Music" tab under my device preferences in iTunes. So when I was synching my iPhone, it would transfer songs from my phone (where almost all of my purchases are made) to my iTunes, but I never noticed that new information from iTunes was getting back to my phone. After I selected the "Sync Music" tab, it warned me that my iPhone was paired to a different iTunes account (which is impossible since I only have one) and would erase and resync all of the data. But once I let it do that, all of the songs were found under the artist tab on the iPhone.
Hope this helps!

Screensaver not showing all photos in an iPhoto smart album

Got a weird problem here, done some searching around but can't find a fix.
I have created a smart album in iPhoto 11. This correctly displays 95 photos across multiple events, based on a string match to the event name.
However, if I use this smart album for a desktop or screensaver, it only displays 8 photos, all from the oldest event that is in the smart folder.
Anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

Is Aperture the only app being affected? How does your desktop look? Have you rebooted your systems since this started happening? What is your display setting in System Preferences?
If it's only affecting Aperture its most likely the plist file ~/Library/Preference/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
You should move that to the desktop and restart Aperture. Not sure what file you deleted but moving the plist file won't remove any images from the library. Also take a look at the rest o the troubleshooting tips in [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]

Why is my to-do list not showing in mail

I have watched tutorial on setting up to-do lists in Mail but my mail application is not show To-Do only notes and flagged are showing under the reminders heading. How can I fix this?

Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive. I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.
I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

In iphone 4 mobile me calander not showing all events in list view

It started about a week ago. The "From" drop-dow is now missing in Mac Mail. It should appear beneath the subject line. I was working with MobileMe Chat support for about 3 hours. They cannot solve the problem and have now escalated it to the "Senior Advisor Team."

First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address. How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

List view not showing all podcasts

Guys, I have the annoying problem that podcast management by itunes and the podcast app are F'ed up.
Not too lobg ago I experienced my ipad greying out most podcasts that were downloaded and on my ipad, for no reason at all. it took me 2 days fiddling with settings and ended up having to set every sync to "on" and set donwloading to "all" and "keep all podcasts"
Now I'm experiencing the problem that the "list" view in podcast app, is not showing all podcasts, but the "thumbnail" view is (as far as I can tell...). Why is this and how can I fix it to make sure both views show everything?
I'm running iOS 7.0.6 and iTunes 11.1.5

Hey there sporry,
It sounds like your Podcasts app is not showing your library correctly in the List view but Thumbnail looks ok. I recommend the troubleshooting in the article named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Install another app from the App Store
If your installed app won't open, download and install a free app that isn't on your iOS device. This should reset your Apple ID authorization.
Remember to use the same Apple ID that you used to download the app that you're having issues with.
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My contact list does not show all my contacts.

My contact list does not show all my contacts. If I keypad a number not shown in the contacts it does know who that contact is. What can I do to show all contacts? I have 352 contacts in the phone.

Do you have different Groups for contacts? For example, perhaps you have some contacts stored on the device, some associated with a Yahoo account, and others associated with an Exchange account. If you have multiple groups like this, tap the "Groups" button at the top-left corner in Contacts and see if you're looking at only a subset of your contacts. There is an option to view "All Contacts", which summarizes them all for you.

Mail - IMAP folders not showing up in folder list

I have several mac mail imap folders and a few of them are not showing all imap folder - yet I can use move to folder to move emails to that folder. Any ideas?

Check on the IMAP settings (Gmail.com) that Pop is disabled.
It should be in the IMAP/Mail forwarding section.
When it is enabled, folders do not show up in mac mail

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!
