Shortcut for showing email addresses

In previous Operating Systems I was able, under keyboard, to assign letters or symbols to get a canned result I had pre-entered. In Yosemite I can find no was to create these shortcuts
MacBook Pro 10.10.2 .

  • What is the safari keyboard shortcut for "show/hide address bar"?

    I have been unable to identify the second of the two keys for the "show/hide address bar" shortcut in Safari.
    It shows the command key and then a verticle line which I can not find on my keyboard. I tried i, l, and
    1, but its none of those.
    That would be a handy shortcut for me, but it seems to use a key I don't have!

    It's ShiftCommand\ in U.S. and Canadian English. If you look at the backslash key in those layouts, there's a vertical bar above it.

  • How can I set up a keyboard shortcut for my email address?

    I'm not sure if there is a way to do this but I am getting tired of constantly typing in my email address.
    Can I set up a shortcut somehow? I currently do the copy-and-paste technique. Now that I have changed my email provider and the address is so much longer I could really use this shortcut. Thanks

  • I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

        I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome.  I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
         In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending".  When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • I decided to backup for the first time with icloud yesterday, and lost all my phone contacts! I am panicking, because the backup says 0, and I checked the internet account on my pc, and it's only showing email addresses from my hotmail account. What to do

  • Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

    Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

    Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
    I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
    That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
    I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
    Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
    Thank you!

  • HT4623 I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone that asks me to enter my Apple ID password for an email address that I no longer use.  How do I get rid of it?

    I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone asking me to enter my Apple ID password for a email address I no longer use.  How do I make it stop?

    If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it.  Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID.  If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • How Can I set up Thunderbird for multiple email addresses

    I am using Eudora 7 to handle 6 email accounts on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I want to install Thunderbird on the same machine and import the email addresses. I have Eudora setup to store the data files for each email address in a different data directory. This allows me to have a different icon on the desktop for each email account. Clicking on an icon starts Eudora with the email address data stored in a specific directory.
    What I don't know is how to have Thunderbird import the different email addresses from Eudora to Thunderbird and how to keep the individual email address data separate in Thunderbird.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I never used Eudora, so I can't tell much about it. In any case, I believe it's dead.
    Wrt multiple accounts in Thunderbird, there isn't much you can do wrong. Simply run the new account wizard and set-up the accounts you want (one at a time).
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
    If any of your accounts are POP ones, make sure not to enable Global Inbox to keep them separate.

  • Auto-complete for the email addresses in the mail app is not working

    Hi, could somebody kindly help, please?
    I have just got a new iphone 5s after my old 5 got broken. When I got the new 5s one I had to restore everything from the back-up copy I had on my ipad or in my icloud, whatever.
    The problem is that in the standard mail app which you have at the bottom of the screen auto-complete for the email addresses is not working on this new iphone. However, it still works on the ipad.
    Can I turn it on somewhere or is it a bug? I remember When my old iohone was new as well as the ipad and ipod, I did not have to turn on anything. The recent email addresses list (appears when one starts to type an address in the address bar when writing a new email message) appeared automatically. And on this phone it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't suggest me any recent or whichever email addresses and I am really lazy to type an address each time.
    Could this be solved?
    Many thanks in advance for the eventual help.

    I am also getting same problem...................anybody please help.

  • Is there a grace period for apple email address?

    Hey guys I was wondering if there was a grace period for apple email address yourname@'insert apple domain name'.com once you deactivate or delete it before it can be used again?
    for example with phone numbers for certain companies it takes 2yrs once the number is disconnected for it to be available to be used again.
    Which leads into why i'm asking this, as the reason for this is I had an apple ID/email address that i used when working for an apple reseller a few years ago and when i left i was asked to delete it. which i did but i would like to use the yourname part of it again with @icloud.com but its saying the email address is already in use.
    Now i know what you might say that someone else could be using in but thats is very unlikely as i have a very unique name plus i also know that apple in their infinite wisdom kept all address ending in @me.com and @apple.com active in the icloud change over to allow association between @me.com accounts and @icloud.com accounts and i believe the later is the cause of my fustration.
    If there is no grace period is there anyway to prove that i was [email protected] and delete that record so that i can setup [email protected] as the apple ID in question are different?

  • Why is Mail asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that doesn't exist?

    I've migrated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on a new Mac, but in trying to use Mail on ML, it keeps asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that's never existed. The addy has my user name correct, but the server part of the address doesn't exist, or at least I've never used an email address with that provider. On ML there's no plist file for Mail, so nothing to delete there. What else can I do to get Mail working? The only other option I have is to abandon Mail as being crippled and useless, and use Postbox, which for it's price (US$9.95) is an attractive option. OTOH, I've paid for Mail after all, so it really ought to work. Any clues as to what I can do to stop its nonsensical behaviour? How do I file a bug report?
    TIA.

    (Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library", since the ~/Library is hidden on ML)
