OSX Mail not recognising Configuration Profile settings

Hi,
I have a bunch of mail accounts that I created in Profile Manager which have been pushed to my iPhone. I then realised that I could use the same profile to configure Mail on my Mac so everything was nice and consistant. Except it doesn't work. I've installed the profile on my MacBook Pro, and the contents of the profile shows all the Mail accounts, however I was expecting to open Mail and see those account - alas it was not to be.
Is this how it's supposed to work? Should Mail be configured with the accounts showing in the Profile? Or do I need to do somethine more?
Thanks
Paul

I dont get any error's on my iphone that the smtp password is wrong or the server is down etc. And on exchange i can see that the mail has been send.
This indicates the mail was successfully sent by the SMTP server. If a message cannot be sent for whatever the reason, it will remain in the Outbox mailbox usually with an error message provided. A message moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server.
A successfully sent message does not guarantee the message will be accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server. Usually when a message is not accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server, a return email error message from the server is usually provided - but not always. Not with the high level of spam being circulated by low-life spammers.
Ask a recipient that is not receiving your messages sent by the iPhone's Mail client to check with their email account provider. You should be able to provide the recipient the long message headers for a sent message that was not received by the recipient.

Configuring profile settings Nokia style

I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to configure your profile settings like Nokia has been offering for years now.
What I mean by profile settings is an app that I can use to configure my iPhone to for instance use different ring tones dependent on the selected profile, set whether or not it vibrates etc etc.
This link explains more clearly what it is I want my iPhone to do:
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/nokia/nokian70/nokiann70userguides/264/configureyourprofile.html

Just a "no"?
That's because no app would have access to the private API's necessary to do what you want. Only Apple could implement such, so if you want to see such capability, suggest it here:

Exchange E-Mail not Respecting "Off-Peak" Settings on Phone Start-Up

I've got my work exchange e-mail set-up on my phone to have a quiet time before 8am, after 6pm and al;l day at the weekend when sync is set to "Manual".
This works fine 99% of the time -except if my phone has been switched off. When the phone is switched back on, it ALWAYS seems to do a mail sync on this account, regardless of whether it is a "Peak" or "Off-peak" time.
This is using the Sony-installed "Email" app v 6.1 on a Z2 with 17.1.2.A.0.314 firmware.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?
Thanks.

Confused as to which setting should be on "Push" ???
I want e-mail checked every hour, between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday.
I want e-mail not checked at all (except manually) all day at the weekend, and before 8am and after 6pm during the week.
My current settings are in the attached screen shot. What should they be to get the schedule listed above to work?
Thanks!

Addresses in Mail not recognised as in my Address Book

Hi. I have been having this problem for years now through several computers and OS-X versions, and only now is it really bugging me because I am now using the search in Lion mail for "Person: Smith, John".
I still frequently get emails from or to people in my address book that are not recognised as being there (in my address book) - if you right click the blue address bubble which is displayed in full (John Smith <[email protected]>) rather than just by name (John Smith), it offers to "Add to address book" rather than "Show contact card". If I do chose to add it, I get two identical addresses in the address book, and duplicate cards for the person in question. If I then merge them, and delete either address, it seems a bit unpredictable whether the problem continues or not.
The thing that has brought this to a head is that if I do a search in Lion mail, and chose the "Person: xxxx" option in the drop down menu, it will only find emails that it has recognised are related to those in my address book, and it is missing hoards!
I have to say, all these years on, it is maybe about time Apple fixed this, but does anyone have any thoughts?

Welcome to the discussions, gjclimer.
This sometimes helps:
Quit Address Book.
In folder ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook drag file AddressBook.data to the desktop. Rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data and restart AB. If your contacts are not back quit AB again and repeat the drag/rename process, this time with AddressBook.data.beforesave.
If you get your contacts back, now is probably a good time to use the AB menu item File/Back up Address Book.

IMAP/SMTP outg-mail not delevered but same settings in 10.5 Mail no problem

Hello,
Ik have a rather strange problem:
I have a exchange 2003 server and i have set my iPhone to use IMAP and SMTP (with authentication).
When i use the settings on my iPhone the outgoing mails don't arrive (only when i send emails to @gmail.com addresses they do arrive).
I dont get any error's on my iphone that the smtp password is wrong or the server is down etc.
And on exchange i can see that the mail has been send.
But when i use the excact same settings in my osx 10.5 Mail application all the mails DO arrive.
Can it have something to do with te iphone headers or something like that?
Does any1 have a idea what the **** is wrong? im getting kinda desperate..
Thanks!!

Postscript printed via OSX is not recognised by OS 8.5 HQ print controller

We have a HQ printer that is controlled by a G3 running OS8.5.
We used to print via Quark4 on Classic, a postscript file and then pass it over to a hot folder on the OS8.5 machine where the postscript was recognised by HQ printer controller.
Since we have moved on to Quark6.5, printing through OSX print centre,
the postscript produced now is't recognised by HQ print controller, we need to do this for different hot folders.
However the file produced when printing direct to the spooler is recognised.
Q. what has happened to the postscript for it not to be recognised.

OSX Mail not checking for new mail on wake from Sleep.

Since upgrading to 10.6.4, my iMac no longer checks for new mail when waking from sleep. I have to manually Get Mail, and then it keeps up to date as normal. RSS feeds get updated fine. I am using MobileMe mail.
Any ideas? I have restarted Mail and rebooted the computer. Nothing obvious in the logs.

I think you will find this is a product of the use of the IDLE command. When the computer is asleep, but you have not quit Mail and logged off, the MobileMe server try to contact the Mail app to "push" emails. Not finding any response from Mail, the account is logged off. Quitting Mail and relaunching should restore -- does it?
You can test this by deselecting to use IDLE in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced.
Most people, who leave Mail running, would only allow the display to sleep and not the computer.

Mac OSX does not recognise CS6 vs CC!

There is something wrong with the info.plist for Photoshop CC. Mac OSX Mountain Lion at least does not understand they are different applications. You cannot set files to open in CC instead of CS6. The OS believes they are the same application.
Annoying.

The plists show them as different versions.
More likely is that your MacOS launch services database is corrupted.

Osx does not recognise any DVD or disk inserted

Hi Everyone,
Since this morning I tried to use some disks on my MacBook Pro, (6,2) mid 2010, but the system did not load any of them and as long as I tried to insert one, it was espelled 5 seconds after without being loaded by the OS, I actualy tried to put a disk containing an updated version of Debian, and it would not load into MacOSX, but misteriousely, debian's installation started from the same disk and the same drive i tried to use on macosx .
It is actually quite strange because I cannot understand how it could be possible that the same disk actualy loads on the Boot and it does not whithin mac osx.
Any suggestion on how to solve ?
Thank you very much,
Regards

Mac OSX does not recognise MFP 1213nf

Reposting here since I have recently upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.
Original post (what I did when this machine was running Mountain Lion)
This is probably an obsolete system support problem.
This LaserJet Pro M1213nf is an old product from HP that I just recently (~3 months) purchased from a vendor as new. The MFP system is flawless and except for the occasional scanner tilt in grabbing the sheet from the automatic document feeder, works perfectly.
Unfortunately, when I bought it, I used an old Macbook with Snow Leopard to test it. Worked beautifully. I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and it does not work with that. This Macbook is going to be my primary system from now on.
Googling this problem has convinced me that neither HP nor Apple intend to support this, at least not anytime soon. Updating drivers from the store has not helped. In fact, each time it has happened, I have had to uninstall the new driver, and install the old Lion version of the drivers (see below).
Current status:
1. It prints without a problem. It copies too, but I don't really use that a lot.
2. It scans but only with the HP Scan application bundled with the Lion version of the driver. (which was the last major version where this was supported)
3. Image Capture, Preview, etc. do not work with this and the OS does not even recognize the scanner.
I installed sane-backends to work around the problem but I have not really invested a great deal of time into it and that did not help.
My question is - how do I hack it to work with my Mountain Lion install natively? I use Linux regularly, and have absolutely no issues compiling software, tinkering with things, using open source software, etc. My understanding is that Mountain Lion has changed the interface for scanners and that new interface is not available for older scanners.
Why do I need this to work? Well, I scan a lot of documents and there are some AppleScripts I want to use to do some standard post scan processing to reduce PDF size. The native HP scan application that comes with the drivers is an irritating piece of crap that wastes my time everytime I need to do something.
And I am not going to throw out a perfectly good MFP just because Apple and HP want to generate some undeserved profits off me. Good hardware always trumps artificial commercial software choices for this engineer.
I am now running Mavericks.

The plists show them as different versions.

OSX mail not recognizing other short names beyond first short name

I have a ready weird problem. According to the documentation any additional short names are treated as aliases and Postfix uses these aliases.
The installation is a fresh install with 10.4.7 Combo applied. My postconf is at the end. There is only one domain (lewington-web.com). The MX record is correct and the gateway has port 25 open (as well as 143 for IMAP). Open Directory is setup and working fine.
The only way I can get Postfix to use these extra aliases is to edit the /etc/aliases file and manually add them. This *****! Why does postfix not read the open directory entries other than the original account shortname?
The error I get without setting up the aliases is:
550 Recipient address rejected:

That sounds more like a feature so that simple short names do not get confused.
I would expect most people have things like relatives full names in iChat and the Address Book but would Nickname them like "Mum", "Dad", "Sis" and the like such as "Bill" for William.
If you had two "Dave"s I would expect the Nickname to be "Dave1" and "Dave2" so that they were different.
This sounds more like protection from confusion.

Lion doesn't allow me to activate "Mail & Notes"

My AppleID is a .Mac, then MobileMe ID. It was inactive for some time. Now I logged in on icloud.com with that ID. It told me, I have to activate "Mail & Notes" in the System Settings of Lion, but Lion doesn't want to activate "Mail & Notes". It just keeps spinng on "starting..".
http://s1.directupload.net/images/111017/ajtp86pk.png
I can fetch my email over a Windows PC and by manually configuring the mail.app, however I can't send emails over the Mail.App, because it keeps telling me the password is wrong.
So for now, I can't activate "Mail & Notes" on Lion and can't access Email on icloud.com.
Apple Chat doesn't have a clue.
Any Ideas?

Hi everyone,
after 3 weeks, nothing changed for me, I can't activate Mail & Notes for iCloud with my mac, and iOS devices.
I have a @mac.com Apple ID.
If any apple techs pass by this post, please help !
I will just try to re-explain the issue:
1/ on mac
I try to activate mail and a windows is poping where I can see a textfield to enter a new me.com mail. The fact is that this windows disappears instantly, I can't do nothing about that. Then I see the iCloud settings pane with a "starting..." at the right of the mail activation line and an activity indicator spinning endlessly. If I quit the pref app and come back, the mail is activated (but in real, it is not).
2/ on iOS (iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S)
I try to activate mail, it asks me if I want to create a new @me.com mail adress. I say yes and a popup alert is displayed saying that there was an issue and I need to try later. (it's been 3 weeks).
My conclusion:
My @mac.com was a free mac.com adress long time ago, it became a iChat only ID when I stop using the .mac service.
I then tried with this same account Mobile Me during 1 year, I did not remember (it was a couple of years ago) if I was using a @me.com alias or not. I then stop mobile me membership and I still had the chance to be able to use this @mac.com adress for iChat.
I assume everything is related and that is why Apple had an issue with olds @mac.com + @me.com.
Is there anyone in the same position than me ? Is my only way to create a new apple id from scratch and loose all my app /music / books history ?
Thanks for your help

ITunes 7.1 does not recognise 5G iPod

Apple SOS. Just installed iTunes 7.1, iTunes no longer recognizes when I connect my 5G (30GB) iPod using the Apple USB sync cable supplied with the iPod. Both iTunes and my iPod work fine independently, but nothing happens in iTunes when I connect the iPod using the cable. It worked fine 1 week ago, but now since the installation of iTunes 7.1, nothing !
I have tried several times, using both of the USB ports on my 17' G4 Powerbook (10.4.8) As a result I cannot charge or sync my iPod, so it is now pretty much useless.
Apple needs to rectify this situation asap, but in the meantime I would like to hear from anyone else that has some problem. Is there any solution to this?
Thx

Hi,
Thx for the response. I was aware of these procedures, but they do not help.
I had already tried the first 3 steps before I posted my support SOS, and my OS is right up-to-date.
At the beginning of the procedure I it says to make sure the iPod is fully charge, however this is impossible because nothing happens when it is connected to my Powerbook with the USB sync cable. iTunes or OSX do not recognise it, so it will not charge or sync, and the battery is almost dead now.
Everything worked fine until I installed iTunes 7.1, so there must be a bug in this update. Note, iTunes 7.2 works ok independently of the iPod, and works
fine in standalone opeation.
Q: What difference does it make if re-install iTunes 7.1 ? Surely the problem is related to this version itself !?
Also, what will happend to my iTunes music Library if I remove the iTunes application in order to re-install it?
Thx.

IOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings

iOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings via a Configuration Profile. Has anyone else got the same issue? Are Mac users got this issue?

This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing
