Signatures Completely Disappeared in Mail

My signatures in Mail have completely disappeared, POOF! They have disappeared from the "All" box in the Signatures tab of the Preferences.
However, when I go to Library and then Mail folder, I have a signatures folder that is full of my correct signatures and the SignatuesByAccount.plist.
So, how do signatures disappear from the "All" box, and can I get them back without cutting and pasting every one of them?

this is the correct way it should work. when i do this, the signatures stick for a while, then the account reverts to 'none' with no signatures associated with it. this happens again and again even if i re-assign them. any thoughts?

My mail rules and signatures just disappeared. (OS 10.9.2)

All of my mail rules and signatures just disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve them?

Can someone please help. I noticed that all my calendar events have completely disappeared :( I made sure that under settings "mail/contacts/calendars", that under sync it is "all events". Not working.

Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.

Check settings > iCloud > calendars. Is it on or off?

Search Bar Disappeared in Mail

Hello,
My search bar in Mail has completely disappeared. I was searching for something in my mail, and then only the search bar in the upper right corner suddenly disappeared. I quit the application multiple times and restarted my computer, and it's still missing. Any tips?
Along the same idea... my iChat buddylist will often disappear, too. No matter if I restart the application or the computer. However, it will usually make a reappearance, unlike the search bar. I don't know if these are at all related, but just thought I would put that out there.

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions
I can't explain why the search bar is disappearing but you can add it back by going to the View menu in mail and selecting Customize Toolbar... You can then drag the different elements back onto the top bar, I suggest just dragging the default set back to the top bar.
Hope this helps

Results completely disappear, then reappear, then disappear, then reappear.

I am so frustrated with Spotlight.
When I search my computer using Spotlight, Spotlight will bring up results, and before I can click on file, the results completely disappear, then reappear, then disappear, then reappear.
Is this normal?
Is there something I need to do to stop this?
Thanks
Kim

Greetings.
Kim could solve this problem in another thread as a side effect of fixing a related problem that affected searching in Mail, and has asked me to post the solution here. I don’t frequent this forum, but I’m pretty sure the solution is well known here, maybe just not that it could have a bearing on the weird behavior Kim was observing.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command, and press <Return> (you can copy the command here and paste it in Terminal):
sudo mdutil -E -i on /
The -E option tells Spotlight to delete any already existing index data (so that it’s rebuilt from scratch all over again). The -i on option ensures that indexing is enabled. Finally, the ‘/’ at the end means "apply this command to the startup disk".
After entering the previous command in Terminal, you’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Just type it blindly (you won’t see any feedback of the keystrokes while you type it) and then press <Return>.
For best results, quit Mail and don’t play too much with your disk while Spotlight does its job -- i.e. avoid files being created/modified/deleted, mail being downloaded, etc.

Disappearing inbox mail since upgrading to Leopard

I went from Tiger to Leopard about 2 months ago. Since then messages in my inbox mysteriously disappear. I spent 1 hour at the Genius Bar tonight, and they confirmed that this is a Leopard 'glitch' (their word) and it happens for a small percentage of users. It's fairly frustrating, however tonight, my ENTIRE inbox is empty (after having over 1000 emails just one minute prior.) I would call this more than a 'glitch'. This happened on my IMAP mailbox. Anyone else having this issue???

I think that I have the same problem. Mail has begun to loose mail occasionally. Sometimes all mail in a certain IMAP mail account disappear. Mail notifies for example that new mail mail has been received and shows a proper number in dock icon, but none of the mails in this specific IMAP INBOX folder shows up (neither the old nor the new mail). This certain inbox is completely empty and yet the new mail sign is on. What is even more confusing is that the mail which is located in subfolders (IMAP) is visible and accessible. Just the inbox is completely invisible. I have witnessed this behavior both on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Then the mail suddenly after unspecified period of time appears again. However now, at this time, I have not been able to see/restore mail messages that have disappeared. This problem seems to concern only one of my three IMAP accounts. All other IMAP accounts works properly.

After updating my 3gs to the new iOS5, my notes have completely disappeared. How will I get them back?

My notes have completely disappeared after updating my phone to the new update.

The same thing happened to me and I was able to get all my notes back onto my phone. This is easy if you are on a Mac, and if you have a MobileMe subscription. This probably does not work if you do not have a MobileMe subscription. It may work on iCloud, but I have not set this up yet.
Open Mail. In tthe sidebar on the left hand you should see several entries like Mailboxes and Reminders. Expand Reminders and you should see a couple of tabs. Notes and To Do. Expand Notes. Now you will see a couple more tabs. On My Mac, and something like [email protected] (xxx will be your login name for MobileMe)
You should see all your notes in the On My Mac. If they are there, all you need to do is drag them over from the On My Mac folder to the [email protected] folder, and they will sync over to your phone. Instead of dragiing you can also right click on one or more notes and then choose Move To.
I hope this helps.

CD/DVD completely disappears after Windows XP updates

I had this happen twice now, on my 3 year old Toshiba Satellite P35-s605.
The internal CD/DVD drive works fine, then all of a sudden, it completely disappears from the system. Discs do not play, and the drive does not show up in Explorer.
Likewise, it's the same with my external USB CD/DVD drive; it works fine, then it no longer shows up even though the USB "boing" indicates that the computer reads that a device has been connected.
The last time it happened, I reinstalled the original recovery disk. That seemed to correct the problem. It disappeared again after a Windows XP update (I have not yet added any software besides the OS).
Has anyone had this problem, and has anyone solved it?

I have never heard of a Windows Update causing that sort of problem. It sounds like hardware.
Have you ever tried this fix?

Images in email signatures bug on Reply (Mail)

Hi,
I'm using Mail as email software.
I have some problems with email signatures, when I reply to these emails.
The signatures contained in these mails contain HTML images encoded via base_64.
If I forward the message, there's no problem with images included.
But if I reply to the message, images appear as encoded characters.
What's the problem? Do I have to change any setting ? Or do I have to adapt the image's encoding ?
Thanks for your help!
Arnaud

Hi Karl,
so you tried the IMG tag and it does not work for you?
For example
would in CDT view turn out like
Though one potential problem with this is that depending on the receiver's e-mail client it may block auto-download of external images.

The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems. It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX10.5 to 10.6. How do I get it back?

The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX 10.5 to 10.6. How can I get it back?

Updating your Mac's OS X version won't have affected how the Mail app (I assume that it's the Mail app that you are using, not Safari) shows on your iPad. If you don't have the menu bar showing in the Mail app then try closing the Mail app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it shows when you re-open it : iOS: Force an app to close
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Digital signature and certificates on Mail

Hello All,
I'm new using mac and i have a token with my digital certificate. So i wanna know:
How can i use subscribe or use a digital signature on Mail. How can i use my certificate to sign the message.
Thanks,
Altemir Pacheco

Altemir ... It's important that the certificate has been created for the e-mail address you want to use as sender e-mail. Your certificate needs to be imported into keychain. Keychain only accepts certificates in a number of formats, among them .p12. You can import in a number of ways, you can for example drop your .p12 file (the certificate) on the keychain icon. Then open keychain and check whether the certificate is visible under "my certificates". It has to appear there and it has to show as "valid" and not as "expired". Control-click on the certificate and set-up a new preferred identity for your e-mail address (I am not sure whether this step actually does any difference but give it a try). Close mail.app and restart mail.app. When you now create a new e-mail and you choose as sender e-mail the e-mail address for which you have the certificate then you should see on the right side, just below the subject line a little symbol which you can click on for activating the signature for the e-mail your writing. Hope all this works.
