Since upgrade to Yosemite, whenever I send an Email, the receiver sees it as coming from my wife only in the "From" column regardless of which signature I use. How do I change this?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
When I send an Email, the receiver sees that it comes from my wife in their "from" column
We have separatee signatures that I can chose from and our Email account is identified with both of our names.
How do I change this so that when I send something, the receiver knows it is from me and not from my wife.

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

    Whenever I send an email, the person who receives it gets something that says References: and a long list on nonsense to do with Gmail before the actual message appears.
    Here is an example....
    References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <CAM-_T=[email protected]> <BLU0 ,[email protected]> <CAM-_T=CAUP+9GyYG-_ecOazo=[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]>
    > Mime-Version: 1.0 (1.0)
    > In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
    > Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
    > boundary=Apple-Mail-85351E4C-6385-4256-BE9E-27C10517E136

    It seems pretty clear to me.
    When you turn off your primary account the only active account the phone can send via is your Gmail account, and that's what you're seeing.
    The question is why do you need to turn off the primary account.. which you answer:
    When that is set up as the primary server and turned on I get a message that says "the recipient was rejected by the server
    That's because your ISP (megalink) is using access controls to manage who sends mail through their mail server. The first thing they're probably doing is using IP address restrictions - essentially saying they'll only relay mail from any machine on their network (including dialup/DSL/etc. customers), but you're not on their network, you're on an AT&T (or Verizon) 3G connection which isn't in their IP address range, and therefore not valid as far as their mail server is concerned.
    The typical solution to this is authentication - by authenticating to their server (via username and password) you identify yourself as a customer and they should relay your messages. So check your phone to ensure that you have authentication enabled for your primary mail account.
    If that fails (e.g. they don't support authenticated SMTP) the next option would be to relay the message through your cell provider's mail server - as an AT&T wireless customer you should be able to relay through AT&T's mail server... likewise for Verizon (or whatever national carrier your iPhone is on). You'll need to check with your carrier's site for the specifics of the mail server address to use.

  • I gave my old iPhone to my partner. We reset it and set up new e-mail accounts for her.   But in Settings the iCloud account is still in my name . How do we change this?

    I gave my partner my old 3GS.  Everything worked well for a couple of years.  Then a week ago she was not able to use her gmail and yahoo e-mail accounts. With the yahoo account she is being asked to give my ID and password.  We have deleted and restored the accounts.
    WHen I look at settings, it appears in ICloud that the phone is still registered in my name?  How do we change this?  In doing so will she lose all her information from the past two years?
    We backed up the phone to a pc two days ago.
    MY worry is that the backup has the incorrect information so we may get into a cycle of restoring it and not fixing the problem.
    Regards

  • Since upgrading to yosemite, I can't connect to the app store (or icloud).

    I have a Macbook air, early 2014.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, can't connect to the App Store (Message: Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance. ) or to iCloud ( You can’t sign in at this time. Try signing in again.).
    I have another Macbook air (late 2013)  running mavericks that is connecting without any problem. I can also login in two different iPads (iOS 8), one iPhone (iOS 8) and in icloud.com.
    Have spent more than one hour with support on the phone. Tried safe boot, login with a different apple id, reseting pram,  running disk utility... No success.
    I could upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 by restarting without the need to insert the apple id, so I am with the latest version running. Still no success.
    Any ideas ?
    Many thanks,
    Alysson

    If you haven't already done so, please connect to a different network, such as a public hotspot, and test. Otherwise, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I have a new Mac Mini. When I start it, the message and mail program's open automatically. How do I change this?

    When I boot up my Mac Mini, the mail and message program's open automatically. How do I stop this?
    I heard that all program's that are open when shutting down, will open again on booting up. I always close all program's before shutting down!

    Go to preferences and General and be sure the box is checked that states to close all programs on exit.  Also, right clcik your mail icon in the dock and under options be sure the open at login is not checked.

  • Whenever I send a single person text it shows as coming from my e-mail but when I send a group message it comes from my phone. How do I change it so it always comes from my phone number not e-mail.

    Whenever I send a text to a person it shows as coming from from e-mail but when I send a group text it shows as coming from my phone? How can I change it so that all texts come from phone?

    The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

  • Video from MacBook Air camera looks stretched vertically. How can I change this?

    I just got a MacBook Air and it looks like whenever I use the camera for video chat or webcam, the results are really stretched vertically. This is driving me nuts since I have to be on client video calls and I look really silly.
    How do I fix this??

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership. If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to  exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different.

  • Only one computer/device connected to wireless interenet at a time, how can I change this?

    I had this set up a couple years ago to where only one computer could be connected to my wireless internet. However, now that I have 2 laptops, an xbox and a Wii, I would like to change this to where more than one computer or device can be connected to my internet at a time. Anyone got a clue how to change this?
    I have a WRT54G wireless router.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried to connect the devices? If so, is the router allowing you to? If not, are you getting any error messages?
    By default, if you setup the router before, anyone should be able to connect to it without a problem.

  • When typing in a website after opening in a tab, the cursor focuses to the address bar and makes logging to things difficult, how do I change this?

    As stated in the question on any website I open regardless of whether it is a new tab or just a new destination, the cursor focuses on the address bar and makes logging in to sites very infuriating. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks for the help, it didn't help with this particular problem. I figured it out though, I had an issue with the AVG safe search. I had to just delete the file in the program files x86.

  • I cannot browse the web because firefox will not allow it. How can I change this or get rid of firefox

    When I put any word on the Google Firefox like "staples" or anything, it comes back to me that it is an
    unsecure site and it will not connect me. I have been dealing with this for a week now and it only
    happened when Yahoo tried to take over my google and I did a restore with firefox. I am 68 years old
    and not really experienced with these computers and do not know what to do.

    Actually, I don't think robots are allowed to register as contributors on this forum...
    Could you describe this problem in more detail. In particular, are you getting search results from Google, but then you can't visit the links in the results, or are you not able to get any Google search results?
    Does it make any difference if you start from the Google home page: https://www.google.com/ ?
