My "color coded" rules won't apply to Mac Mail

Using mail version 6.3. I created a rule to color code all messages from a sender in a particular group in my address book. Clicked on Apply rule to all messages in inbox and future messages but it won't color code anything in my inbox. Any advice?

I had a similar problem. This was my thread and the answer was (for some unknown reason) a couple of my mailboxes had become 'read only' which prevented the rules from applying.
Try right clicking one of the messages you want moved and select Move to/whatever mailbox. When I tried this is when I got the error message saying the target mailbox was read only.

GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

Hi guys,
mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

Rules for exchange folders in mac mail are gone at regular intervals

I have some problems with mac mail and my exchange account.
At regular intervals my mail doesn't show my mails in my mail folders. Than I have to restart mail and those mails are back again. But then I have to set destination folders for each rule and for each shortcut in mail again.

Why would I go to the Microsoft Community when I'm asking specifically for an answer to how much is left to download in my mail account in the Mac Mail App Officially from Apple?
To speed things up, where's the "Items downloading, items remaining, and total items in Mailbox" for iCloud Accounts in Apple's Offical Mail Mac App?

Rules won't work on read mail

I have various rules set up in Mail.app which usually work fine for new mail that I download.
However if I have already read an email on my iPhone during the day (from my .me IMAP account), when I get home in the evening the email still downloads to Mail - which is good, I like to archive all my mail offline - but won't follow the rules. They just sit in the inbox, marked as read/unbold. Basically the rules only appear to work on new/unread emails.
Is there any way I can fix this so the rules always work, regardless?

For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.

Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw won't scan in mac os 10.6.8

Can anyone help?
This is supposed to be a multifunction printer / scanner / copier. When I open up the printer via System Preferences, I don't see an option to scan.

H beermans
I understand you are no longer able to scan since updating to Win 8.1.
Uninstall and reinstall the Win 8 driver again. This should resolve your issue.

Hi nosweat
I checked online for the drivers for the Scanjet G4050 on Maverick. None available at this time.
When you connect the device to the computer it should do automatic updates. If not run the apple updates.
Here is a document you can try to see if you can scan using the apple preinstalled drivers.

Paypal receipts won't print in mac mail

Trying to print a Paypal receipt in Mac Mail and I frequently get the screen below showing just a header and no receipt - you can see the actual receipt behind the print dialogue. Sometimes I get this but there are two pages to print and the receipt is on the second. In this case and more often than not there is only the one page and the receipt is missing. It is clearly there to be seen on the email.
This happens at least 50% of the time. Otherwise the receipts print as you would expect.
OSX 10.9.2 on iMac all up to date

Well, this is obviously not a "fix" but a workaround: with the mail message open and the receipt visible, click in the window and select all (press command and A) then copy (command and C). Paste (command and V) it into a new pages (or TextEdit RTF) document and print from there.
Another workaround is to screen print it into a png file and print that from Preview: press shift, command, 4 and the cursor turns into crosshairs. Left click drag over the receipt and release to make the screen shot. Open in Preview and print.
We also get the "page 2 has the stuff we want to print" situation but we always get the page 2.

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:
http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/microsoft-entourage-vs-apple-mail /
Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

Color coded mail rule stopped working

We were color coding our email via rules. i.e. anything from family is highlighted in blue on the list of mail.
Just got a new MacbookPro and installed everything to it from Time Machine. Now the rules seem to be working intermitantely. They show up if you go to preferences and look at the rules, but don't seem to be totally functioning.
Any thoughts?

Well all I can suggest is that you go in and check out the settings on that mail rule and see if everything is just like it was a year ago (when it was working ;)).

CSS WON'T GET COLOR CODED UNLESS THE FILE IS IN A PROJECT?? R U KIDDIN??

If I open a CSS file outside of a project, there is no color coding! Please tell me this can be changed. I DO NOT WANT CFBUILDER ORGANIZING MY PROJECTS!
$299 for this? Really - please explain why I should pay $300 for a bloated version of Homesite? Homesite was GREAT! You guys frakked up by killing it. CFB is confusing, the settings especially, nothing does what it states. Spend too much time trying to figure out how to update a simple thing. Bad when I have to Google when I just want to display line numbers. Typical Adobe - non-intuitive.

Stop shouting. Jesus.
What you're whining about is the equivalent of my mum (who is a lovely little old lady in her late 70s) buying a new VHS and having a tanty of the buttons not being in "the right place".
If you struggle so much with a software app having settings in different places that it yields this sort of response - and not even an inital visceral response, but lingering enough for you to put the caps lock on and write it down! - you're in the wrong industry, mate. We're not talking rocket surgery here. Or even brain science.
That's not to say that shifting from something like HS to Eclipse doesn't involve a bit of a mindshift, but it's not the end of the world. And no-one's making you change text editors either.
Personally I think CFS was a really good text editor, and I rued moving onto DW (not my choice, I was the guinea pig for a failed experiment at a job I had years ago), and when I moved from DW to Eclipse I spend a few moments going "what's all this project sh!t?". But then I realised everything I work on actually is a project, and there's no harm in having a little organisation in my work. And the work of the rest of the team. And whilst I found Eclipse has some quirks I could do without, I also remember CFS had some quirks I could do without (and DW was an app I could simply do without from start it finish), so they're even in that regard. But I also found that Eclipse's inifintitely customisable platform is a real boon for my development across various languages and productivity tools. Eclipse really is far far better than CFS when one looks at the bigger picture: the one that is outside the realms of developing just basic websites, by one's self, on a single server (and that's not Adobe's target market with CF & CFB anyway, I think).
That said: CFB has a way to go (and is ot worth $300: it's just a Eclipse plug-in after all), but being built on Eclipse is a good start.
I look fwd to CFB 2.0 to see if it's worth buying...

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

Conditional Color Coded List

I have done this in excel long time ago and I though it was going to be as simple as it was with excel.
I'm trying to implement a conditional color coded list with the criteria below:
Fields:
- Health (blank cell that will change colors)
- Due Date (cell with dates)
Criteria:
- Red if [due date] < date.now
- Yellow if [due date] > date.now - 10
- Green everything else
How would I implement that in SharePoint?
Thanks in advance
ps:I'm not a C# programmer so I don' t know if the syntax for datetime or dude date column are right.

Hi mpaulopes,
Here is a step by step guide reference to provision conditional formatting using SharePoint designer. It will give you proper idea about how to do this. It is for SP2010 however it won't make much difference.

I hope this helps.

Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?
I was using adjustment layers for color correcting and now my adjustment layer is just staying white and I've looked at so many forums and i can't find what I'm doing wrong...
I reset my preferences, I made a new project I'm clueless.

That is After Effects but ..try openig the composition window (TAB)

TX synching has changed color coding in OUtloook

For ten days i've used live chat, forums, etc. and finally may have corrected synching problem with Cobalt v. 5 t/x and Outlook 2003 Calendar; but during the process, the Outlook Calendar has been altered to have blue as the default "available' color code for all day, every singel day. Palm calls it a 3rd party issue and won't solve it; though their equipment and software caused it. any ideas on how to correct the color coding on outlook to the default white? thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

pdoyle,
If you installed Palm desktop 6.2, the color coding of the calendar is not supported.
If you want the color coding option, you will need to clean uninstall Palm desktop and install a previous version other than 6.2.
The palm desktop and hotsync manager versions will be different.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for XP.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If you have the data intact on the TX, do not be concerned about the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If your data is on the TX, do not sync at this time and complete the install. After the install is complete, set the conduits in hotsync manager to handheld overwrites desktop and sync.

Custom Color coding of SharePoint Calendar does not work on a site collection that uses olso master page

Hi,
I created a color coded calendar following instructions below specified at the below URL.
http://davidlozzi.com/2012/06/20/customize-the-sharepoint-calendar-colors/
however, My Site collection uses oslo master page and because it does not show quick launch, I don't see the legend of the color coded colors.
Is it possible to make above solution work with oslo master page?
Please help...
techie

Hi,
Can you provide a screenshot of your page about how the calendar looks like in your environment?
As you said, “I don't see the legend of the color coded colors”, is it mean that the list of overlays on the right side of the page disappears when applying oslo master
page?
In my environment, after applying the oslo master page and adding overlay to the current Calendar view, it will be like this:
It turns out that the list of overlays still there.
Feel free to reply if this is not what you really mean.
Thanks

Apps must say FREE! Not color coding it's version with Silver & Gold.

Apple needs to be more strict, about the Apps people submit. It's awful to have someone put out an App, that has two of the same. One, with the free version, and the other being the purchased version. But, both icons almost look identical, with one having a Silver band around it, and the other with a Gold band around it. Indicating that the Gold band is the full version. Well, that's not right! There have been so many times, where you could sware you previously owned an app, then watch it download without the "you previously own this, would you like this update for free~". Now knowing that you just purchased the App... Then when you talk to the Apps Customer Service, they say "Well, one is Silver, being the free version, and the Gold being the full paid version." That's their defense?
Bottom line... These app icons must say FREE on them, or else it's an easy way to make the developers more money, and basically calling us an ideot for not remembering the Silver, or Gold band. I mean, come on Apple! I am begging for these app icons, to say FREE, and not color coding their version.
Doesn't that sound like the right thing to do?
Thanks Guys!

It's up to the developer of the apps to make an icon for their apps. Of course they want the two versions ofthe app to have similar icons which is why they have a differen coloured border.
As far as redownloading previously purchased apps, I would have to say it's your responsibility to know what you have downloaded before. The apps do list the price in the AppStore and if you are insure then I would suggest downloading the version with free as the price.
As far as the AppStore programming rules go apple controls that so you could send some feedback but I think they would say that the price is clearly listed and it does not need to be added to the title or elsewhere. I believe apple does suggest developers add lite or another indicator saying that it is a demo of a paid version in the app title or description.
