Q: How to stop mail getting foreground when new mail arrives?

Hi,
I've been using Apple Mail for 7 years and never experienced this behavior until 1 month ago. With Apple Mail minimized, the receipt of any new email instantly pops it up into the foreground, in front of whatever I'm doing. This started suddenly for no obvious reason. It's unbearable. I'm using Leopard 10.5.5. I'm unaware of any options to turn this behavior on or off. Can anyone please help me disable it??
Thanks!

OK, found it. It's an $8 Mail add-on called "FlagIt!". Its usage of the SIMBL input manager stuffs Mail up until it's removed. Not an Apple problem. Closed.

How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

This is a related question.
I deleted ALL my previous recipients and when I create a new e-mail it STILL is getting addresses that I don't want - they pop up and I don't know how to stop this!
I switched from one ISP to another - I deleted the old e-mail account in MAIL - I DID use the same name on the account - is that why it keeps bringing up the old address?
ARGH!

how to stop mail from recovering a too large message

You can't stop Mail from storing sent messages locally. If they're synchronized with the IMAP server, they'll still be present locally. The only way to get the effect you seem to want is to use webmail.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

Iphone getting freeze when a message arrive during a conversation

the iphone 4 with os7 getting freeze when a message arrived the phone during a conversation is in progress. needed to lock & unlock the phone to get rid of the problem. Any help?

Hi chocotee,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:

If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

How to stop Aperture starting up when iPhone is plugged in?

Hi all,
silly question... but Aperture keeps opening whenever my iPhone is plugged in. Does anyone know how to stop this? Not a big deal... but its getting annoying!
Thanks in advance!
Lil

And, if you want Aperture to launch when you connect your camera, but not when you connect your iPhone, open Image Capture when your iPhone is connected, highlight your iPhone in the sidebar, and select the No Application option in the lower left-hand corner where it says "connecting this iPhone opens"
You can have different options for each device.

How to STOP Mail from launching at startup

I hate even posting this question because it seems like I'm missing something easy. I want to stop mail from launching at start-up because I now have entourage.
I can find how to TURN OFF mail and TURN ON entourage at start up.
Mail: 2.1.3
Entourage: 12.2.3

You're overlooking the obvious, as you suspected.
Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Mail from that list. If you want Entourage to startup, add that to the list.
However, there's no good reason to use Entourage over Mail, especially because it stores all your mail in a single file, so if that file ever becomes corrupted (it will, at the worst possible time) all your mail is gone; it cannot be recovered.
Secondly, you shouldn't startup applications at launch, since that will slow down your startup time and can easily cause other problems before you even get the chance to do anything with the computer. If you need to use a program, launch it after the Finder has loaded completely.

HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads. I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good. I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer. Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.?
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!
Jasmin

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

How to stop the Flex application when user clicks on Cancel button from JS-confirm message?

Hi All,
I use the next code when a user clicks on a link:
private function clickHandler():void
      ExternalInterface.call('confirm', 'Of course you want to go to the Adobe forums!');
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self');
This will show up the javascript confimation box. But when the cancel-button is clicked, the user goes straightly to http://forums.adobe.com...
How to stop Flex performing the next code when a user clicks on the Cancel button?
Or, how to catch which button is clicked by a user in Flex?
Thanks!

I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
Show the Alert like this:
// show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
     Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
     navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
     // they chose no
The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

Let me know if that helps...

Hi,
1. The version of Messaging you're using, is very,
very old. If you do not have a support contract, you
should at least download and apply 5.2p2.
What difference does it makes ?? can you explain
me..So Jay doesn't have to re-explain this for the thousandth time.
5.2p2 contains hundreds of fixes and can pro-actively fix problems that you may have not hit yet. We always recommend that customers all use up-to-date software if possible. In the same way that you should be patching your Operating System and other applications.
my ques ...
What will happen if i'm using "dnsverify" keyword in
TCP local channel ??
can you explain me ??Do you mean the dns_verify keyword in the mapping table or the mailfromdnsverify channel keyword?
Either way I recommend you look at the iMS5.2 Admin Guide which explains both of these keywords and how to use them.
Regards,
Shane.
