Saving e-mails from Safari 2.0.3 to Appleworks 6.0

We use Safari & Appleworks in our company. We often need to save e-mails we receive. Our ISP is AOL. We follow the following procedure: open AOL e-mail in Safari, select an e-mail, click print, copy the resulting window and paste it in a new Appleworks document. Two problems this procedure is very long and when we paste the text of the e-mail to an Appleworks document we get the message that this e-mail was not scanned for viruses and a virus was found and removed. How doe we eliminate the message? Is there a quicker method of saving e-mails while preserving the addresses in the saved text?

Hi Hessinc,
The need for automation would naturally allude to either an Automator workflow or an applescript. Do you necessarily have to use AppleWorks? If so, then you would probably have to go down the Applescript route. Automator doesn't have support for Carbon apps, as far as I know. For tutorials and extensive how-to's on scripting, please refer to MacScripter.
If, however, you can use other text editing apps, then you have more options to choose from. For instance, have you thought of maybe printing the email to PDF (via the 'Print' dialog)? Or exporting the text selection to a TextEdit .rtf file (via the 'Services' sub-menu under 'Safari')?

Can't e-mail from Safari's Reader after upgrading to 7.0

How come I can't e-mail directly from Safari's Reader after upgrading to 7.0? That was a great feature. Why did Apple disable this or is something wrong with my Safari browser?

Thanks. I didn't know the command but the old version had a menu that appeared at the bottom of the page.

HTML Mails from Safari using Mailing List from Excel sent by Mac Mail

Hi.... Anybody got any ideas how I can use VCards or Excel as a database to send HTML mails from Mac Mail without having to add the names into my personal address book as I do not want client contacts in with my contacts... any ideas ? Thanks....

This should not occur.
As an experiment, I have some old saved received messages in a user created mailbox that were addressed to an old email account/address that was cancelled. When selecting Reply for any of these messages, my default Send New Mail from account is chosen as the sending email account/address.
When doing the same for any messages located in a user created mailbox that were addressed to an existing valid email account/address that is not my default Sent New Mail from account selection, the account/email address the message was addressed to is the account chosen as the sending email account/address.
I believe there is some minor corruption to your Mail.app preference file. Let me know if you need the instructions for targeting the preference file which will require re-entering all email account information.

How can I restore saved e-mail from time machine in 10.7.2?

My saved e-mails just vanished. I have dire need to restore them. They contain vital information. Where are they in Time Machine and exactly how can I restore them? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi James,
sorry for my delay.
You mean that you found the folders in your Library/Mail/etc... ??
Strange that you have the messages there and not in your Mail program. It is clear a matter of a database corrupted. Inside Mail there is a command Rebuild. this should do the job but there is a risk of a demage to the present Mail. Of course you can explore each single file in the librari folder but you see they are down in a comples structure and you may not find everithing.
I am not so expert to give you a safe suggetion.
Before tryoing a rebuilt I would do as follows to be more safe about the possible result.
Create a new user Account in your Mac and copy your complete Mail folder into the Library of the new account.
Then try the rebuild option in the new user account and see what happens. You today mail system will not be affected and you can decide what to do.
To postpone a rebuilt can be an option but if you have a demaged database and you se you can live with the result of a rebuild in the "test" account I would rebuild also your.
For some reason before doing any action I wouyld repair the permission and also check the HD to be sure you do not have any write-read problem.
Let me know if it works.

Import saved e-mails from Thunderbird

Hi all,
I've been running Thunderbird for a while now, but recently I bought MobileMe and now an iPhone, so I will switch over to Mail.
Is it possible to import in an easy way, all my stored/saved e-mails in Thunderbird into my Mail and use the same catalogue/folder structure?
Sincerely,
Andreas

Saving QTVR files from Safari

Hi to everybody!
I have a question regarding saving virtual panoramas QTVR from Internet. I used to get this message, that I need to upgrade to QT Pro in order to be able to save these files. So I shelled out the money and I succeeded twice, but most of the time there is no way for me to save the file.
Is there any trick?
I am using Safari as a browser.
Thank you,
Tomek

I went to http://www.expedia.com but couldn't find any reference on the page to "virtual tour"
So I googled, "virtual tour" site:expedia.com and got this page:
http://www.expedia.com/daily/deals/FiveStarFantasies/default.asp?rfrr=-35056
I scrolled down to:
Mandarin Oriental San Francisco
Take a virtual tour ( JavaScript:S3D('http://display.maxvr.com/expedia/propertymap.asp?hotelid=6505', 450,575) )
Which opened a new window for:
http://display.maxvr.com/expedia/propertymap.asp?hotelid=6505&lang=1033
And the window was completely white, nothing playing, no source.
So I went to:
http://www.maxvr.com/visitorsample.asp
And the panoramas there all play fine (in Java)
I repeated step 2 onward in Windows XP Pro with the same result, the expedia.com tours resulted in white windows with no source while the maxvr.com page worked fine. Perhaps expedia.com forgot to pay maxvr.com? I dunno.

Saving a PDF from Safari via Applescript

Hello. I’m an Applescript neophyte and have run into a problem I cannot seem to solve and no amount of Google searches has found an answer for me. It seems a simple thing to do, but I cannot get Safari (5.1, Lion) to save a PDF that is loaded as the result of a script. The relevant portion of the script is this
tell application "Safari"
save document 2 in file pdfDLNAME
end tell
In this example pdfDLNAME is a fully specified path, something like this:
Sarkany:Users:fenevad:Dropbox:Personal:Heenan_book:downloads:1776-07-18_New-York -Journal_page-3_4.pdf
Every time I try this it fails, regardless of whether the file exists or not. I get this error (allowing for changes in the variable value) in Safari:
The document “New-York, July 18” could not be saved as “1776-07-18_New-York-Journal_page-3_4.pdf”. The file doesn’t exist.
This result then causes problems for the AppleScript, which cannot procede as it should.
So the question I have is how simply to save a PDF loaded in Safari to a specified path location. I've seen some people suggest scripting the UI, but that is a pain when I have to determine the location for the download based on the script’s results.
Apologies if the answer is obvious to scripters, but it isn't obvious to me or to someone with more experience helping me.
Best regards,
Arle Lommel

That would probably be fine except that I need to save the file to a specified location based on other factors in the script and that location is not the same each time. I.e., saving to the desktop isn't really an option.
The previous script can easily be modified in order to do what you are asking for. Let's suppose for example that you want to save the PDF file to a folder named "Downloaded PDFs" in your Documents folder, under the name "A new PDF file.pdf":
set theFileName to "A new PDF file.pdf"
set theDestination to ((path to home folder) as text) & "Documents:Downloaded PDFs" as alias
tell application "Safari"
    activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
        keystroke "s" using command down -- save as…
        delay 0.5
        keystroke theFileName
        delay 0.5
        keystroke "d" using command down -- save on desktop
        keystroke return -- save
        delay 0.5
        if sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 exists then
            click button 1 of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 -- replace
        end if
    end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder" to move file theFileName of desktop to theDestination with replacing
Is there a reason why Safari can't use the save action?
Safari is only partially scriptable. It's not impossible that it can use the save action though. I just don't know how to do it.

Saving sent mail from an specific person

i have a smart mailbox which saves all my received messages from an specific person but is there a way to make a folder with the emails i have sent to that specific person?
Thank you

you can create a smart mailbox for that in the same way you've created the other smart mailbox. when you are creating a smart mailbox, in the parameters select "any recipient" instead of "from" and check the box "include sent messages".

I got of some cookies and now firefox can't open my web-mail from Medscape. I get "the page isn't redirecting properly" ..

This problem started right after I deleted lots of cookies, trying to avoid the ad people from getting too much information. My email is from pol.net (from Medscape). I made sure my Privacy settings accept cookies. The problem also occurs in Firefox Safe mode. I even restored the Firefox applications (I have a macBook Pro laptop) from my external hard drive using Time Machine from a backup I did 2 days before I deleted cookies -- NO change, even though checking to see what cookies are on the system appear to show that all the deleted cookies were restored !! My Medscape people CAN access my mail from Firefox---I can't from my bookmarks or URL window using Firefox. The rest of my bookmarks seem to be unaffected. I CAN access my mail from Safari. Please help.

Did you check the cookie exceptions ([http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions") ?

Why are forms or passwords not filled, when I imported them from Safari?

I've used the Import function to import "saved form history" from Safari, twice already, both times it says it completed the task, yet whenever I go to a site requiring passwords or forms filled out, nothing happens, & I must manually fill everything out! Why is this not working?

The form history will not include passwords. Firefox can not access the passwords from Safari so can not import them.

After upgrading to Safari 6.0 (running 10.7.4), when launching Safari, Mail also launches. How do I disable Mail from launching simultaneously?

Whenever I try to open only Safari, Mail automatically launches. I cannot seem to figure out how to stop it from doing this. I am certain that this is not about programs launching at login. It only began after I did the Safari 6.0 update. I cannot find anything in preferences on how to stop Mail from launching.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Problems mailing pages from Safari

At one time I was able to mail web pages or links from Safari with Mountain Lion, but now it has stopped working. The first time I try to mail a page, I'll get a new mail window open (and probably not coincidentally, a second instance of the Mail icon in the dock) but it presents me with a "Loading..." message that lasts until I quit it.
If I simply close that mail window, any other pages that I try to mail will not even open a new mail window until I force-quit the extra Mail app from the dock.
Anyone else seen anything like this, or have any ideas about what might be causing it or how to fix it?

Having two instances of Mail running is definitely not right. If the OS were functioning properly, it should not let more than one instance of Mail run in the same user account.
Restart your computer while at the same time holding down 'command-R' on the keyboard. When the Utilities window appears, choose 'Install OS X' from the menu. Your user data and apps will not be affected (just the system files get reinstalled), but do take the precaution of making proper backups before you do this.

Why can't print to Xerox Splash or HP from Safari or Apple Mail?

I copy pasted this from the Printing and Faxing forum since it seems no one can answer my questions there. Maybe someone here has an answer.
From yesterday:
I just updated my computer from a G4 running 10.3.9 to a G5 running 10.4.5. I used the migrate wizard so I didn't need to install anything new. All my applications even seem to work well. The only thing I can't do is print from Safari or Mail to an HP LaserJet 1320 or a Xerox Docucolor G630. I reinstalled the drivers for both printers and I still can't print. I can print from Quark and Acrobat Reader just fine. A few months ago, I set up a G5 workstation but with that one I needed to install everything from scratch and I'm able to print from Safari and Mail fine from that computer. What do I need to do?
One more thing, I tried printing a page from my System Profile and I can't. I click on the print button and nothing happens. I'm at a loss here. Where do I begin?
I hate to be persistant but I really need some help. Let me tell you what I've done so far.
I've gone to the HP site and downloaded the latest driver for the 1320n series printer and I reinstalled and set up the printer in the print center like I've always done with any of the printers I've set up before. I still can't print from Mail, Safari, and from the system. I see on the HP site that there is a fix in the Tiger system already (I think I'm reading that right) and I shouldn't be worrying about this.
I found in one of the other forum listings about a Foomatic/hpijs and I installed that one. Nothing printed. I tried using a Generic PPD. Nothing happened.
I reinstalled the Xerox Splash printer drivers from the disk and that didn't make a difference.
In the print window, I can't make a PDF, won't let me Preview, and won't let me Print. I click on the buttons and they won't even react. It doesn't do anything. But even with the new drivers I've set up since I started all this, I can still print from Quark and Acrobat Reader. So it seems it's got something to do with the system.
I'm really frustrated here. Can someone please give me a clue if they have one? Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks a million for your input. I really appreciate it. I found the fix though in the troubleshooting section in the book I purchased from Dr. Smoke from the Forums. It's his X Lab for Tiger book. Dr. Smoke is THE BOMB! :~D I have to thank him again for his guru abilities!
There was a plugin that was afoul. The Xerox Accounting plugin was causing my print option not to respond along with the other buttons in the print window. I removed it from the plugin folder and now I can print. I'm glad that's all it was.
Thanks again!
