Problems with initial set up for mail and other things

I am having issues with mail set up and getting printers and other things work with Mac Pro Book, since i am new convert i am feeling really frustrated with these things, anyone out there has experince in mac mail set ups and other instatlations like msn messanger etc.

Sorry you are having problems but you need to provide more detailed information about the problems such as what type of email account are you trying to set up in Mail - .Mac, IMAP or POP and is this account provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet or by an email account provider?
What happens including error messages provided when trying to create the email account in Mail?
Regarding a printer problem, this is the Mail & Address Book forum. You should post a question about printer issues with detailed information such as the make and model of your printer and what you have tried to this point at the Printer & Faxing forum here.

Installing MSN Messenger should be easy. I believe Messenger does not include an installer and is provided as package via a disk image that only requires dragging the application from the mounted disk image to your Applications folder which copies the application package from the mounted disk image to your hard drive.
What problems are you having with installing Messenger?

Strange problem with auto-fill addresses in mail and address book

There's an entry in my address book (version 4.0.6) that keeps adding a first name to an entry. I keep deleting it and somehow the first name keeps getting added. I suspected that Mail (2.1.3) was using auto-fill or LDAP to take the name it remembered in Mail and put it in Address Book by associating the email address, so I turned off LDAP and auto-fill and the problem still persists.
As an aside, I use mobileme to sync two macs (Address Book) and a pc (Outlook) so I really want to clear up this problem so the phantom entry does not keep getting transfered to all databases.
Should I delete some cache or something? One other problem (unsure if it's related) is that my Mail application always ask for my keychain password on startup - I have tried the keychain repair app and it seemed to work once, though this problem persists, as well.
Thank you in advance!

Yes. the dot in front makes it invisible.
Show hidden files...
Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Reboot or Force Finder quit needed for either change to show.
I'd move them both to the Desktop then reboot, if it works fine then you can Trash them.

Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?".
Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;

New problem with PDF's, especially in Safari and other browsers (?)

I've had several PDF documents on my web site for several years. Today, a visitor brought it to my attention that several of these will not display properly in web browsers. It appears that the older ones display properly, but the new ones have problems. After successfully viewing them on my computer locally, I have reloaded all of them, to insure that they weren't corrupted.
I'm a Mac user with the latest system software, and a brand new installation (re-done, for safety) of Reader 7.0.5 Having read through many PDF-issue forums before posting, I can assure you that I have no unusual or "wrong" system settings. This problem only began recently. On clicking a link ( for example, http://www.nextcraft.com/media/dflitems/dfl1.8.pdf ) Safari reports "Plug-in cancelled" and then as you scroll the document, there are other reports, including font-missing reports for fonts NOT used in the document.
When I download these documents, instead of viewing them in a browser, I still get error reports, although they appear to display properly. It sounds like a font issue, but it seems to be out of my control, since the error reports state errors with fonts that I did not select for the documents.
These files were created from both "TextEdit" and "Pages", with the default PDF fonts... nothing that should cause such a problem. I have used the "Export" command to save this, as well as the "Print to PDF" option, but the same problems remain, and my viewers and I are both becoming frustrated.
This is a known issue, so do any of you know the answer?

Thanks.
This is frustrating, because i'm an long-time Mac user, and familiar with all the usual system and software settings. I've been producing "perfect" PDF's for years, and suddenly, without me changing anything, this problem pops up. The "Plug-in cancelled" report doesn't help track the error, so I'm at a loss as to what else to check.
I can tell you this though, since I just went through the process yesterday. I re-wrote this document several times in Pages, and got much worse errors than the insignificant one that remains in the current (TextEdit-produced) version. The Pages-produced version had screwed-up images, missing text, and a long list of "bad token" and "unable to load embedded font" errors. (and... those reports were false, since the reports were for fonts not used in the document.) At least the TextEdit version displays properly.
Aghhh!

File sharing problem with a PC . locked Folder Icons and funny things

Help was running Tiger fine then upgraded to leopard now my Macbook pro wont shut down properly unless i disconnect all the external USB devices that are attached.
I also used to be able to write to my shared folder on my Windows PC, this comes up on my mac Book pro now with a locked disk icon on it and i cant save to it. the folders inside it also start changing there icon appearance at will. and some times when i try to save a file to it it keeps telling me the file name is too long even if i change it to only one or two characters .
would not mind too much but this is my business thats being effected by this . I have tried it on 2 Imac
Dual core flat panel machine's which still run in tiger and everything is fine with both of these so i know its Leopard that has caused these faults. anyone with any help please let me know .
ian

*Same problem* here: MacBook on Tiger was fine, after installing Leo, unable to write on shared pc-folders (lock-icon).
There are 2 work-arounds I found:
1. uncheck the "protected" box in the info-panel (Mac) of a locked folder,
2. if the pc-folder had a custom icon, resetting to standard will unlock the write protection as well. In both cases, the folders on the pc will change their icons... I have to agree that this is a Leopard issue.
As I use the Mac for work and often have to exchange docs from and to pc's this "bug" is annoying me.

Please give me some advise of what should be done to cure the stability of my iMac.

If you have any, they'd be in that folder, in either your User directory or your root directory. If you have no such folders, then you have no Input Managers and they wouldn't be the cause of the problem.
In that case, I'd suggest going to Users/Username/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and deleting the contents of that folder, then locking the folder via the Get Info window.
Then go to Users/Username/Library/Safari and delete these files:
Downloads.plist
History.plist
LastSession.plist
Restart Safari and see if things improve.
If not, then the last thing I would suggest is downloading Onyx (http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html) for your version of Mac OS X; install and launch it, select Automation, then select "Maintenance Scripts" and under Cache, select "System" and "User" (or "System and Kernel"), depending on options what your version gives you. Uncheck everything else and click the Execute button. Restart your Mac when it's done, then test Safari again.

Urgent : Problem with Editable ALV Grid for Quantity and Currency Fields

Hi All,
I am using Editable ALV Grid display and have quantity and value as editable fields in the display.
When user changes these values these values are not changing properly .
For the quantity field the domain is MENG13 with 3 deciamal places and here if we enter 500 it takes it as 0.500 .
The same problem is for the currency field. Here the Domain is WERT7 with 3 decimal places.
Here also it takes last 2 digits after decimal places by default.
Please advice how to get proper values in this case from ALV editable fields.
Thanks and Regards
Harshad
Edited by: Harshad Rahirkar on Dec 25, 2007 7:39 AM

for all the currency field , it will display like that only.
u have to manipulate uin program before displaying.
if they are giving 500, in program multiply with 100 and move it to table.
when u are getting from table, divinde and display.
this is what I am doing.
Reward if helpfull.

Having the same problem with Aol not sending my mail and getting error message. If I delete this account, what will happen? This is on my iPad, and I also have a gmail and Yahoo account.

This happened after I was hacked.

If you delete that account from your iPad, all messages from it will be removed. You can then go back into Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars and 'Add Account' to add it back onto your iPad.

How do I fix the problems with text formating functions in hotmail and other text based sites?

In a Mailing list provider site it disables the text formating functions, instead only showing a 'loading' message. The functions never appear. In Hotmail the scroll arrows on the right hand side does not work. Sometimes the email toolbar becomes 'grey' and the buttons do not work. When forwarding an email sometimes the email does not show in the new email message.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox was reinstalled March 2010.

The only possible fix was turning the phone off immediately and burying it in a bag of dry rice for a week at least. That might...just might...have worked. But you're way beyond that and I see no fixes. In fact the phone is probably going to get more problems before finally gving up the ghost. Continued use is just shorting out more and more of the circuitry. For that reason I don't think repair is much of an option. Go to an Apple Store and buy an out-of-warranty replacement.

Weird problems with motion 3 displaying pink lines and other garbage

I am using Motion3 to create HD graphics. With each of my projects I start with motion everything is fine until I build about 4 different layers or add any type of motion or filters.
It seems as my projects get more complex my viewer window or canvas starts displaying weird things. Pink lines, white and black garbage, nasty thin lines, various other junk. Sometimes the image is completely gone.
I have had some luck retrieving it by turning off motion blur or turning of field rendering and turning it back on. This fix only works sometimes.
Other times my video displays fine until I render out and then the garbage happens.
Anyone come across this?
I am currently using a an ati radeon 9600 video card and it's running two monitors on dvi and one vga. I have ordered an nvidia 7800 gs in hopes it will fix this problem and ease the pain of render times.
I have been using motion 2 for a while and never had this issue. I was hoping to milk this system for a while before having to upgrade.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I think you are pushing that card to it's limit with HD and splitting the VRAM across two monitors. I would bet a new card will clear things up.

Why XML file for DD and other things

According to me XML is used for servers b/c :

Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination

Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination
Problem in committing transactions in Multiple Forms (Oracle Forms) with POST built-in command:
Consider that the following statements are written in WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger of a called form.
Statements in called form (Form name: FORM_CHILD):
go_block('display_block') ;
do_key('execute_query') ;
-- Data from table_b will be populated in this block, based on the value of COLUMN_1 obtained
-- from TABLE_A.
-- Example: If the value of COLUMN_1 is 10, then all the matching records from TABLE_B, which
-- are inserted with value 10 in TABLE_B.COLUMN_1 will be fetched and shown here.
if user_choice = 'YES' then
commit ;
else
rollback ;
end if ;
Statements in calling forms:
There are two calling forms having following statements and it is going to call the above said called form.
CALLING FORM 1
Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
post;
call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
select column_1
from table_a
for update of column_1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
update table_a
set column_1 = column_1 + 1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...; Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
post;
call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
CALLING FORM 2:
Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
select column_1
from table_a
for update of column_1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
update table_a
set column_1 = column_1 + 1
where column_2 = 'X' ;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...;
insert into table_b ...;
Our understanding:
Assume that both the forms are running from two different machines/instances, issuing commit at the same time. In this case, forms will start executing the statements written in ON-INSERT trigger, the moment POST command is executed. Though the commit is issued at the same time, according to oracle, only one of the request will be taken for processing first. Assume that calling form 1 is getting processed first.
So, it fetches the value available in COLUMN_1 of TABLE_A and locks the row from further select, update, etc. as SELECT...FOR UPDATE command is used (note that NOWAIT is not given, hence the lock will be released only when COMMIT or ROLLBACK happens) and proceed executing further INSERT statements. Because of the lock provided by the SELECT...FOR UPDATE command, the statements in calling form 2 will wait for the resource.
After executing the INSERT statements, the FORM_CHILD is called. The rows inserted in to TABLE_A will be queried and shown. The database changes will be committed when user closes the window (as COMMIT is issued in its WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger). Then the SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock will be released and calling form 2's statements will be executed.
Actual happenings or Mis-behavior:
Calling form 2 starts executing INSERT statements instead of waiting for SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock. Also, the value selected from TABLE_A.COLUMN_1 is same in both the calling forms, which is wrong.
The rows inserted into TABLE_B are having similar COLUMN_1 values in calling form 2 and they are fetched and shown in the called form FORM_CHILD.
Note that in calling form 2 also POST only is issued, but the changes posted there are accessible in calling form 1 also, which is wrong.
Kindly suggest us as to how to fix above problem. It will be much use, if you can send us the information regarding the behavior of Oracle Forms POST built-in also.
Our mail ID: [email protected]
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have several problems:
1. On-Insert will ONLY run if you have created a new record in a base-table block. If you haven't done that, then the POST command will not cause it to run.
2. Select for update without a "no wait" will lock records for the first form, but when the second form tries this, it will hit the ORA-00054 exception, and will NOT wait. The only way you could make it wait is to issue an UPDATE sql command, which is not such a good way to go.
All POST does is issues SQL insert or update commands for any changes the user has made to records in a form's base-table blocks, without following with a Commit command.
Also understand that Commit is the same as Commit_Form, and Rollback is the same as Clear_Form. You should read up on these in the Forms help topics.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.
