Time Sensitive Automatic Auto Responder

Is there a way to set up a auto responder to turn on every friday at 5pm until monday at 9am?
too many clients are wanting me to email them on the weekend.
thanks

Send automatic replies
You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Rules.
Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the reply that it sends.
Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed when your Mac is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your account provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate that a reply was sent.

Send different mails on different days automatically-Auto Responder

I need to develop an Auto Responder application where my application has to send different mails to different types of Auto Responder customers.These mails should be sent to these customers every x days after their subscription i.e., once a customer has subscribed for this Auto Responder he will be recieving a mail 3rd day after subscription,then 7 days after subscription and then 10 days after subscription.This will vary on the particular auto responder to which the client has subscribed.
I got the suggestion that using timer and timer task classes in the java mail will be helpful.But can anyone tell me how to use these methods to send different mails to different customers on different days. I need it urgent.

Sending mails automatically using trigger concept-Auto Responder

I am developing an application in which i had to develop an Auto Responder application. For this application i need to send different mails to different customers automatically on different days. Though i got the concept of using timers and the scheduling process from some of the developers, I think it is not suitable for our application because it is a standalone program and it needs to be executed seperately. I am not much sure of this mail application using timers and scheduling concept.
So i need a different application where i can be using triggers in database so that it runs embedded in the application.. As per my idea i will be having two variables x and y in the database. X will be a fixed value which contains the no. of days after which a mail has to be sent to the customer.Y is a counter variable which is initialised to 0 and will be incremented daily(For this i wrote a trigger). Once x and y are equal mail should be sent automatically. But the problem is that i need to monitor this application continously. I don't know how to monitor this application. Therefore i request your help in this regard and tell me whether my idea is correct. If it is correct plz tell me how to do it and if possible send me an example.
Thank you,

Hi,
if u dont want use a standalone application , U can integrate ur schedular class (which i mentioned earlier ) using quartz ,

Hi
in the last reply, i mentioned using of timer and timertask classes to send mails.
I got ur problem. I believe the Days X is fixed for each auto responder. I mean for auto responder1 days are 3,7,10 , for autoresponder2 days are 5,8,10 ... etc
R u using any database, if yes follow Soultion 1 otherwise follow Solution2
1)
Create two tables in database
table a is autoresponders table
schema
Autoresponderid
AutoResponderDescription
AutoResponderMailFormat
AutoResponderDays(comma deliminated numbers ex: 1,3,5,10.. ) ( i belive Days x is fixed and with varying difference, if it is fixed difference ie 1, 5, 9 with a diff of 4 then we need autoresponderinterval instead of autoresponderDays )
Table b is CustomerTable
CustomerID
Customer Name
AutoResponderID(Foreign key to autorespondertable)
Fill out appropriate responders data and customer data
Now almost the problem is solved.
I am focusing on main task sending mail
I have explained already how to send mail in JSP forum for your question. Please refer that.
Suppose we assume autorespondertable contains 5 rows.
and customertable contains 10 rows(10 customers)
Now the logic is
Create a common TimerTask which has attributes same as autoresponder row.
Create a Thread(TimerTask in this case), for each row in autoresponder table(in our case 5 TimerTask 's are created)
Follow these steps(Implement the logic in run method of TimerTask).
1) Read rows of all customers whose autoresponder is this id
2) Notice there subscription date, do some work on that date and compare with autoresponderdays data. (suppose if customer subscribtion date is 20/07/2005, todays date is 23/07/2005, if autoresponder day is 3 , take the diff between two dates and compare with autoresponder date) if yes
Read MailFormat for that autoresponder and add customer name, blah blah, use JavaMail Mail api and send it . and
3) Important this TimerTask must be scheduled for every day
i,e. Please have a look to my reply in JSP forum. It should be
INTERVAL=1000*60*60*24 (1 day)
4) it checks every day all the autoresponders
If u want me to write the code, i can provide that

How can I set up auto respond for email

How can I set up auto respond for email?

Hey there jimmac169,
It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
Automatically reply to or forward messages
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Time Machine automatic backups don't work since 10.6.4

TM stopped doing automatic backups on my MacBook Pro, apparently when updated to 10.6.4 on 2010-06-16. Backup only runs when I initiate it manually, or when the machine reconnects to the home network, after time away or upon reboot.
Each time I enter System Preferences > Time Machine, the switch on the left says TM is OFF and the Next Backup time reads: Automatic backups off. I can turn the switch to ON (the word "ON" does not turn blue, as it should, and Next Backup does not change), but when I exit and re-enter, it shows OFF again.
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist when opened in Property List Editor says "AutoBackup, Boolean, checkmark." I have dragged this .plist out of its folder and restarted, letting TM recreate it -- it didn't change anything about the above behavior.
I looked in the backup set to see whether either /System/Library/PreferencePanes/TimeMachine.prefPane or /Applications/Time Machine.app had been updated at 10.6.4. Indeed, both had changed around the day of installing 10.6.4.
I replaced the directory /System/Library/PreferencePanes/TimeMachine.prefPane from a June 1 backup. After reboot -- nothing had changed.
I replaced the directory /Applications/Time Machine.app from a June 1 backup. After reboot -- nothing had changed.
Full details at http://recoveringphysicist.com/15/ . Thanks for any ideas.

TM auto-backup is now working again. I think the magic combination was (1) 10.6.4 combo update followed by (2) restoring /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist from a backup before I could possibly have messed with it.
Aha! Great!
My takeaway from this investigation is best summed up by Chuck Goolsbee
That's exaggerated. Time Machine is more complex, and does more for you, than most backup apps. Some of the messages are not helpful, and Apple's documentation is, well, inadequate.
But it does work well for most of us, and there are resources to figure out how to fix it when something does go wrong.
But, I've learned over the years (mostly the hard way, of course ), never to trust my backups to a single app or piece of hardware: no app is perfect, and all hardware fails, sooner or later.
So, like many here, I keep +secondary backups,+ in addition to Time Machine. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for details.

Vacation message (auto responder) struggle

I want to set up a vacation (auto responder) message using Thunderbird to let clients who email me during the next week know I'll be out of the office. My problem is: one section of Thunderbird Help suggests it can do this (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/set-mozilla-thunderbird-autoresponses-scheduled-emails/ - Note: the friend who suggested this link says using this process will require someone "turning Thunderbird on" - I don't understand what she means - will someone have to come into my office and constantly turn my machine on/off?); another section of Thunderbird Help says it has no good way to set up vacation messages and I should eg use Google or Yahoo etc (not option for me at moment) (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/vacation-response).
Thanks!

Please check with your mail provider first; if they offer this feature then it's by far the most sensible option. They are geared up for 24/7 operation and have fallbacks and contingency plans for power outages and equipment failures, etc.
If you are going to delegate this task to Thunderbird, you must leave Thunderbird running. So you must leave your computer running, and your internet connection running. Since you may receive messages at ''any'' time, you must leave it running and connected ''all'' the time,
Why bother to send someone in to switch it off and on? (And login as you! Not safe!)
Of course, none of this necessarily avoids messages accumulating in your mailbox and filling your account, though if Thunderbird is left running, it will collect and download messages in a POP-connected account. The main benefit is that correspondents will understand that they should not expect an immediate reply from you.

Very annoying Time Capsule problem - Not responding

Hi,
I have a really annoying problem with my Time Capsule and/or network setup. Although I did huge research on this matter, I still have no solution for the problem, nor any more ideas how to get rid of this misbehavior.
First of all, I would like to introduce a draft of my current network setup with all included clients, switches and routers:
As you can see, I have 3 Apple computers, 1 Windows 7 client, a Canon MX895 network printer, the said time capsule and an AVM Fritz!Box WLAN Router for internet access.
Both MacBooks are WiFi connected to the Fritz! which serves as the central WLAN accesspoint with simultaneous 2.4/5 GHz. The interconnection between the Fritz! and the Time Capsule is a wired 100MBit. Also it manages the IP adresses via DHCP enabled.
The Windows PC, iMac and MX895 are directly connected to the remaining 3 network ports of the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule is a 2ng gen one equipped with a Samsung 2TB drive. WiFi on the Time Capsule is disabled. Firmware is 7.6.3
And here is the problem description:
After adding the Time Capsule to the network, there was no problem configuring it as a switch with Time Machine sharing available to the 3 Macs. Everything worked as expected... until...
...the Time Capsule does not respond any more. In more detail:
The LED of the capsule is still green, not blinking or amber!
I can access the capsule with Airport Utility but as soon as I try to do a remote restart, the Time Capsule is not responding any more.
First I thought: "Okay, probably there has happened something" but I didn't care much about it and did a restart by pulling the power cord out and plug it back in after some seconds. Then it seems to work again... for some hours/days...
...then it happened again:
My MacBook's Time Machine tells me that "the network drive does not respond", "...does not exist" or "...identity has changed". It seems to happen randomly, I don't have a clue what is causing this!
What I have tried to fix this:
Tried another Time Capsule (1st gen) with the same hard drive
Tried this 1st gen with another Samsung 2TB HD
Reset the 1st and 2nd gen TC and started with fresh backups
Tried different TC settings, like transfering DHCP from the Fritz! to the TC, fixed IP
Reset the complete Time Machine settings on all Macs and configured it again
At the moment I'm trying, if a specific Mac in the network causes the issue by disabling the automatic Time Machine backups. I checked the TC log with the old Airport Utility - there is no error.
I know, this is a bit strange and maybe I make some mistake, but I don't know what to do next. Maybe someone has an idea or can give me a hint what to try.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

I don't see anything wrong in your setup.
Unfortunately I think this is just network bug in mountain lion and the TC.. this is fairly common that the two will lose connection and a reboot will get things perked up again for times varying from a few hours to days or weeks.
I don't have a bug killing solution either sorry to say.
Let me recommend a few things.
1. Do not use 7.6.3 firmware on those old TC.. go back to 7.5.2
It has proven much more reliable. Do a factory reset after you flash back and redo the setup from scratch.
2. Names on the TC for network sharing to be kept short, no spaces pure alphanumeric. Do not use apple type names with spaces and particularly the apostrophe.
3. Whichever is running dhcp.. it should normally be the Fritz though, set dhcp lease to a very short time.. eg 30min. This will get the lease renewal faster and hopefully keep the ARP tables in the computers updated.
4. But even though the TC is in bridge it should have a static IP address. That can help so you can link not just to the TC by name but also by IP address. The static IP is better handled by the Fritz though via fixed host type setting.. I am sure the fritz offers that.
5. Just as a matter of interest why keep the link between the fritz and the TC to 100mbit.. both can do gigabit? It has nothing to do with the problem and there is nothing in the current setup that needs more than 100mbit link unless you are getting super speed on the 5ghz from the fritz.
Your post and picture of network are excellent.. helps when you are so clear.

Calculate interest on arreast: Time-sensitive interest terms

Hello,
Can you please help me. I try to run transaction F.2A I receive following error message:
"The table of time-sensitive interest terms is not maintained for the
following transaction types and interest calculation indicators.
Interest ID Trans.type
Y CREIR
(CREIR: Calc. credit interest on arrears; C SAL: Calc.acct bal.cred.interest;
DEBIR: Calc. debit interest on arrears; D SAL: Calc.acct bal.debt interest)"
Do you know what I should do to correct this error?
Thanks.
rgs.Markku

Hi,
Customer was using z-program for interest calculation and the problem was in that program. Our programmer did some fixing but I do actually know what. There is some place in configuration (you can search it) where you can assign CRED type to the interes indicators.

Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
Thanks for any suggestions....

Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.

Will Time machine automatically back up an external hard drive connected to my iMac?

I have a Lacie external firewire hard disc connected to my iMac, containing Aperture library. Will Time Machine automatically back up both the external disc and the iMac HD?
Adrian

Will Time Machine automatically back up both the external disc and the iMac HD
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Time Machine
Click on Options
Do you see the name of your Lacie drive in the "Exclusions List"? If yes, the Lacie drive is currently not set to backup with your Mac.
Click on your Lacie drive to highlght it, then click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the "Exclusions" list.
Now, Time Machine will backup both your Mac and the Lacie drive on the next pass. Allow plenty of time for this backup, avoiding wireless if possible, and connecting the Mac directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule. Ethernet will go 3-5 faster than wireless, on average.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups. I use a synology DS212 for my time machine. Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014. As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012. Not sure what that is.

This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
(I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

Does Time Machine automatically reformat a non-Mac OS Extended hard drive?

A friend has just told me something surprising he read in the "Mountain Lion Missing Manual".
It apparently says that if you connect a FAT or NTFS formatted hard drive to your Mac and startup Time Machine, it will be automatically reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) by TM.
Is this true?

Here is the quote from David Pogue's, "Mountain Lion - The Missing Manual"
Note: The backup drive must be a standard Mac-formatted hard drive—yet many new drives bought by Mac fans come preformatted as Windows disks. Fortunately, Time Machine automatically reformats them to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) scheme, which it requires. Thoughtful, really.
It sounds too good to be true . . . . . can anyone confirm it?

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks.

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks. I have to re-establish the connection but sometimes it would take too long for the Internet to be connected. I'm using a wireless connection

just browsing around I found this question. Also on my mini retina I fight with this problem. After a lot of searching I found that the only solution is to switch to
Airplane Mode, wait few seconds and switch again.
Or, if you are lucky, to find a Genius who replaces your unit. Cheers

Can my Mac connect to the Time Capsule automatically?

Hi
I would like to know if my Mac is able to connect to the Airport Time Capsule automatically when I do a back up or set a timed backup.
Thanks

As long as the TC is correctly setup as part of the network the connection should not be required as a special event.. it should be connected all the time.
