New mail message, tab to body doesn't work
I have an Automator app. on my desktop that jsut creates a new mail message. It does not pre-fill any information, just a new, blank mail message.
The problem is, I can type the recipients address, tab to the Subject and type that. Then, when I try to tab to the message area or body, it just highlights the Subject and will not tab forward.
Any ideas?
The bug affects all applications that interact with Mail by way of Apple Events. Such apps as iPhoto, Automator, and AppleScript all use Apple Events to compose the buggy message. Until Mail's AE behavior is fixed, the only things I can offer are workarounds.
The previous script merely emulates user input instead of sending Apple Events. This is a bit of a kludge, and on second read a more precise solution would have been to invoke a blank mailto link:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">open location "mailto:"</pre>A workaround for your iPhoto-to-Mail bridge would be very difficult to conjure (if it's even possible) and unreliable at best. :\

HT1338 get new mail in all accounts button doesn't work
Clicking on the 'get new mail in all accounts' button in Mail doesn't work (after a few seconds it beeps). I have to close the app and re-open to receive mail. I also have my account setup to automaticaly receive every 1 minute, but that doesn't work either.
I have this problem, too. Did you ever resolve it?

Why does pages 09 keep opening a new mail message
I'm using pages 09 now (was using 08; tried the new 5.0 but it is useless based on backward compatability)
When I click on a name in a document it immediately opens a new email message with To as the contact I clicked on. I've tried turning off all the auto complete, etc I can find but it still happens.
Specifically,
if I go to the footer, the next time I land on a name in the body of the document it opens up a new email.
Once I close the mail message I can continue typing, editing etc.; but the moment I go to the footer and then return to the text box it jumps to a new mail message when I click on a name.
How do I turn this off?
George O.More on this and a correction-
there is a part of this document outined in blue- whenever I go into this part from the footer it initiates an email to me; it doesn't matter where I click. My earlier question said when I click on a name this happens; but actually anywhere in the outlined area.
some of the document does not have thin blue outlines; when I go there I'm ok- no new email.
so, what are the blue lines about?
and why does it send me an email when I move into the outlined area?
thanks for any help !

Opening new Mail message in the main window
Hello,
When I get a new mail message notification banner in the right top corner of the screen and click on it, this message is opened in a popup window. I want it to be opened in the main window, like it does when you click on a message if you are already in the Mail app.
Is this possible? I can't find any option to change this in System Preferences or Mail settings.
Thanks!If the Mail app is frozen then have you tried closing the app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works properly when you re-open Mail ?
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Mail app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
On a new mail message in Yosemite there is no Send button or icon. Only a grayed out word that says "send. I can receive mail but not send because nothing at top of email allows sending. Please help. This is true of two .me accounts I have.
Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose " button is gone. What have I done wrong?
Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu. I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine. The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day. I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen. Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal. When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend. I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library. Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed. Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto? If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above. Otherwise, good luck with your investigations. I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

Fetch new mail messages does not work
On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
Settings:
- Fetch new messages: every minute
- Play sound Purr
I need to us the manual button.
On my imac it works fine with the same accountsMy mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

If I create a new mail message and then decide I want to close it, Mail won’t let me do that. I click on the red circle in the top left corner, nothing. I type cmd/W, nothing. I select File/Close from the menu, nothing. Only way I can get rid of it is to quit Mail, and half the time I have to force quit by this point to get the app to actually close. So far, everything else in Mail seems to be working fine with Snow Leopard.
Anyone else seeing this?Ok, some more feedback. Just tried doing another reinstall of Snow Leopard. Figured maybe that would do the trick. No dice, still getting this goofy Mail behavior.
Upgraded my wife’s laptop, no Mail problems at all.
This is driving me nuts. Not being able to save a mail to the Drafts folder is a real problem, and not being able to close a new message after opening it is a major hassle.
FYI, I can open a received email and then close it, no problem. Just can’t close emails I've created to send. Sure hoping this is resolvable and that I'm not just having to live with this until 10.7. -
Mail app - The email body doesn't appear on iPad.
Mail app - The email body doesn't appear anymore on my iPad2. I've deleted the account and set it up again from scratch, but no luck.
I have an iPhone and everything works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work. Why?
I bought a new Mac, had the Apple guys migrate my data and apps to it. Now CS4 doesn't work.
I researched a bit and found that I SHOULD have deactivated and uninstalled CS4 from my old Mac. I've now done that.
But do I have to uninstall CS4 files from my new Mac now--and reinstall? Will that work?Hi,
I have a question related to one you answered above: "bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work."
My situation is a little different. I am hoping you can help me with it. I hope I am not violating any protocols by asking you specifically? A year ago I reinstalled my Mac's operating system. My CS4 is on my computer under "Previous System." I am unable to open it from there and I do not want to attempt migrating it for reasons noted above. I did try to reinstall it as you suggested to hbrady67 by dowloading from CS4 products with my serial number but I got this message: "Upgrade Check We looked in the default location for qualifying products installed on the machine, but none were found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing the fields to the right. 1) Select a product you already own. 2) Enter a serial number for this product. CS4 wasn't in the list of selections. The protocol suggested won't work for me since I am not doing an upgrade but trying to reinstall what I already have. Can you direct me on where to go/what to do? Thank you very much. Bergi.
I found the solution to this problem. I was able to download the trial version of what I have and enter the serial number from there. However, it still asked for a serial number from previous software: "your setup is for an upgrade version of Adobe Creative Suite 4." (I entered the serial number that I have for CS2. And it was accepted. Thank you. Bergi -
How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP? I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.
The new serial number is to the right of your chosen download.

What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7? I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?
The reason you're seeing this is that you have somehow gotten an outdated copy of Mail on your system. One possible reason is that you moved Mail out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder), in the process preventing it from being updated. You'll want to put Mail back directly in the Applications folder if this is the case. The other possibility is that you have somehow installed, restored or copied an old copy of Mail on your machine.
In either case, as long as Mail is in the right place, applying the combo updater will update Mail to the current version. Software Update cannot do that because Software Update sees that you are using the current version of the OS and believes there is no need to update, while the combo updater "forces" installation of all updated files.
