On updating to Yosemite Mail Index damaged but does not repair when re-opening mail.

Yosemite updated but Mail index damaged and does not repair when re-opened. How is this fixed?

I have the same thing happening. Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

Time machine backing up my HD on Airport but does not show when I open time machine

Good day all,
I have been playing with this forever.
I have a HD on my Airport Extreme which I keep my Itunes library and I have a stand alone external HD which I connect directly to my machines about once a week which is used exclusively for time machine. Time Machine does it's thing when it comes to backing up the internal HD on my MacBook and the HD that is shared on the Airport but once I open Time machine to see the time line, I cannot see the HD hanging from the Airport.
My question is, why does it back it up but at the same time when I want to check it out on the Time machine time line, I can't see it.
Thanks

Time Machine (like most backup apps) cannot back up from a network disk.
Either connect the drive to your Mac occasionally, so Time Machine can back it up (remove it from the exclusion list in TM Prefs > Options), or try a 3rd-party app. Chronosync may be a good alternative.

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
so it is completely unresponsive.
I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
Thanks

Pierre222,
Unfortunately you are not providing us with any useful information. We need to know what app you are using to email at the very least. However what I'd suggest you do is call AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support (the number is in your owners manual) and they will be happy to assist you. They're open M-Saturday so you will need to wait until tomorrow.
BTW if you have not been exposed to these please bookmark them and begin using them. You may find your answer in one of the videos.

Mail receives email but does not send

Hi,
I've just started to use Mail and am now using it to send and receive an email account that I used to run through Thunderbird on my Windows machine.
Mail can receive email for me, but it won't send it. When I try to send email, first I get an error message:
“... does not appear to be a valid email address. Please check the address and try again.
Then another:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
What's the problem? The settings are the ones I've been using for years. This is the only thing in OS X that hasn't worked yet!
Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi,
I just thought I would jump in here because last night I starting having this same problem. I have used Mail for years for my POP accounts (I have about five that I access through the program). I can receive mail; however, I cannot send it. I receive messages like:
"The server response was: relaying mail to hotmail.com is not allowed"
When I try sending the mail through my .mac server, I receive a message that tells me I am not recognized as a .mac member.
However, I can log into my ISP webmail and my .mac account just fine.
I have tried deleting the account and readding it; this hasn't made a difference to the outgoing error message. I use my ISP server to access email, etc. The Server Port Number I use is 110 for the POP accounts and 143 for the .mac, and I have selected None for authentication. There is a discrepancy in server ports. In the general account information settings, the server number is 25; in the advanced account settings, the server number is 110. Changing both numbers to 110 hasn't made a difference, and I cannot alter the port setting in the advanced settings.
Additionally, I can send email to myself or any of my accounts through my ISP--it is only messages to email addresses with different ISP's that I cannot send messages to.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I can no longer compose using my exisiting e mail data base system does not pull up existing e mail addresses

Suddenly when I compose an e mail the system no longer recognizes my existing e mail data base or e mails I have sent to clients on many occasions. I have to manually pull up the e mail copy and paste it into the send section. This does not happen when I use my g mail on internet explorer.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,
Bryce

I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit. How do I remove it?

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

Firefox always asks to update, I do and 'restart to update' but does not. Everytime I open Firefox it wants to update.

This has been a recurring problem. In the past I have had to manually reinstall Firefox from their website each time new version comes out. But then when the next version comes along, it never updates itself again. I would think installing the new, latest version from your website would fix this, but it does not. Why does the update feature of Firefox never work on my Win & system? Every time I install Firefox I use the same folder, but not the default. I am installing into "C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox". I would hope your updater would be smart enough to know that, but thought I should share. Everything else should be standard.

I am running Windows7, using only their firewall. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed as the anti-virus.
I performed the following steps as you requested:
1) Run as Admin:
a. Closed Firefox and reopened “As Administrator”. It again asked permission to run since it was going to try to do the update again. But it just opened normally.
b. When I click on ‘Help-About’ it again says ver. 32.0.2 and downloads a 3.9MB update (again).
c. I click restart to update (again) and it still says 32.0.2 and again downloads the same 3.9 MB update, asking again to restart. So Admin made no difference.
2) Uninstall/Reinstall:
a. Using your link I then downloaded version 32.0.3 (I had to do the same thing on all prior versions, the last full download was 32.0.2. So this problem has been going on for quite some time.
b. I next uninstall both Mozilla Firefox 32.0.2 and Mozilla Maintenance services. I was not asked about removing personal data as you indicated I should have. Since you mentioned that I assume it should have asked. Why not?
c. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files
d. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files(x86) (this is where it had put the “Maintenance Services”, even though I had requested to install Firefox under the “Internet Applications” directory.
e. I deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications (even though this was uninstalled, there were five subfolders left and an .nfo file. Clearly Firefox does not do a clean uninstall). Will this bug eventually be fixed to do a clean install and delete all program folders?
f. I then installed version 32.0.3. By default it wanted to install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.
i. Why is it installing only a 32 bit version when I am running 64 bit Windows 7?
ii. I changed the default to the one I used before (but was now deleted): C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox.
iii. I did allow it to install the maintenance service again, even though this never works.
iv. After installation there was still no Mozilla folder under Program Files, so it did not install any 64 bit – why not?
v. It did install the program under …\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox, as it should have
vi. However, it again made the mistake of installing Mozilla Maintenance Services under C:\Program Files (x86) rather than under the “Internet Applications” submenu as it did the main program as directed. This is an ongoing bug from prior versions. When will this bug ever be fixed so that it is installed in the subfolder selected by the user?
Since this is the same procedure I have to use every time Firefox needs an update, you have not solved my problem. Does anyone at Mozilla care and will get down to the bottom of this? Or should I just delete the Mozilla Maintenance Services since it appears it is not designed to function (at least not in Windows7)?
I have performed the exact steps you indicated and provided you with the steps and the results. Please answer all six questions above. I had highlighted them bold so you could see them, but your web reply stripped the bold, spacing, tabs, etc. and made the above less readable. Also, the Bold in your web reply also does not work - it only put quotes around and would not bold. Since your web response bold does not work either, please carefully find the six questions and answer them. Most importantly I would like to know a fix to this ongoing problem of the updates not working. I am tired of doing this entire process for every little update. Thank you.

Why does iPad crash when I open Mail app?

My iPad crashes (returns to home screen) each time I open the Mail app. Mail opens for just two seconds, then crashes.
All updates are current on Mac and iPad. I have synced the iPad with my Mac and power-cycled the iPad but nothing helps.
Can I delete and reload just the Mail app? If so, how is that done?
Or do I need connect the iPad to my Mac and do a full Restore of my iPad?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1. Delete the mail account from your iPad
2. Clean out your mail server. This is typically the webmail from your mail service provider.
3. Readd the account.
Even if you clear out the server, if the account isn't deleted and readded only when the server is clean then the iPad will still try to download the email.
As I wrote earlier:
I have reinstalled my email account twice I got my iPad three weeks ago then and today the problem has risen again.
It may be a solution here and now but I don't find it reasonable that we have to delete and reenter our account info every time we need to use our mail app.
Already from the start there were problems; the mail app froze and I had to restart my iPad...2-3 times during the first couple of days. Normally I am a type who takes this rather casual but I do not think Apple wants us to reinstall our mail account every couple of days, huh? ;o)

List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,
Please help.
Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
Why does this formula...
=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
The intent of this formula is the following...
If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Dear Jason,
I appreciate your efforts.
However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
"If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
good details.
However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created with OOTB
SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
Thanks,
Mark Kamoski

One field is visible in print preview but does not appear when printed

Hi,
We have a batch job that creates the spool, but one field of the form is visible during print preview of the spool but is NOT visible in the print out.
How do we solve this?
Is there an error in the printer?
Thank you!
Rgds,
Freishz

Hi guys,
The catch is, when re-printed, it already appears. But after the batch job has been completed, this does not automatically appear.
This involves, output type of a delivery.
Thanks for your reply!

Thunderbird suddenly started asking for my password, but does not accept it. (Web mail works fine with the same password)

Thunderbird starting asking for my password. I know the password, just have not been asked for years.
After typing in password keep getting message
'Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.intergate.com responded: dmanns logon failed '
however, I went to Webmail.intergate.com; was redirected to http://email.1dial.com/webmail/Login.aspx.
Can get email from webmail just fine (same password), just not via Thunderbird.
Have already run two anti-virus scans. Have deleted the saved passwords and re-entered them as the program asked for them and renamed key.db & signons.sqlite (Read this in a forum on the web) and they rebuilt themselves. Still can not get email via Thunderbird.

Did you contact your email provider? They may have server issues.

Orange mail software problem when using distribution lists : some lists cannot be used for writing e-mails. The problem does not exist when using Internet Explo

When writing an e-mail directly on the Orange e-mail service (not on Thunderbird) I am facing the following problem : some distribution lists cannot be used to complete the adressees. The same lists can be used without difficulty if I use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The Orange hotline told me that probably my Firefox version was not updated. Unfortunately I checked that, and apparently the automatic updating works. I have also updated the plug ins, without any result.

Please could you specify which webpage you mean ?
The process with Orange is the following :
- 1. click on "Write an e-mail" on the mail webpage
- 2. click on "To" to reach the Contacts which opens a new window
- 3. click on "Distribution lists"
- 4. click on the selected list then click on "add". The list appears ot the box corresponding to the addresses .
UNTIL THEN EVERYTHING WORKS WELL
- 5. click on the button "validate", which closes the window previously opened and normally
- 6. reloads the initial page with the complete list on the line "To". Instead of that I get the last e-mail address I previously used .
Question : at which step of this process should I try your suggestions ? I tried when the initial page was reloaded with the wrong address, but it did not work to get back the rignt distribution list;
Note that the whole process functions with OTHER Distribution lists. The only difference is that the problematic one has a larger number of adresses (62) however inferior to the maximum indicated by Orange (100).
I also remind that there is no problem when using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.
Thanks for your help !

Downloading additional components for fresh reinstall of lion but does not restart when done

i've attempted to reinstall a fresh copy of lion because ever since i had lion, my dmg files wont open, software would not update and many other problems. So i tried reinstall and i waited hours for them to download additional components. the bar is completely blue (completed) but it would not restart. do i restart it manually?

Manually shut it down.
I would then first reset the SMC:
Shut down and unplug the Mac.
Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
Let us know if these procedures don't solve the problems.
Hope this helps
