Trying to create or find a mail script

I find myself often missing important emails. Is there a cript available or can someone show me how to create a script that would open emails when received from particular emails...I am a NOOB when it comes to scripting...
Thanks a lot!

Mail.app > Mail > Preferences... > Rules > add a rule for relocating or flagging or forwarding or bouncing the Mail.app icon in the Dock or otherwise processing in response to a particular mail message.
Rather than opening the message (as having random stuff popping open windows gets... well... frustrating), I'd probably color the message and/or move it to a specific mailbox and/or play a sound, and might bounce the Mail.app icon in the Dock. Simple, fast, with no scripting required; it just works...
What's available within the rules by default is flexible, though that can be extended further by invoking a script from a rule, and some folks use this for fairly complex scripts including for processing the message contents.

Trying to create user template and login script

I'm trying to setup a machine at work that's got an Admin account and a Student account.
I want the student account to have limited privileges and to reset the desktop, dock etc. (user template) upon login.
I've got a document here that was created by a former employee that states the following:
Create a user template: (do this from the admin account)
*Sudo ditto /Users/Student /Student/Library/User\ Template/Student.lproj*
Upon entering this into terminal I was getting a message saying the real path was wrong, and now nothing happens when I enter the above.
Ok, so in: "system/Library/User Template" there is a folder called Student.lproj
Within Student.lproj there are no files.
Should Student.lproj even exist there with no contents for this to work? When Terminal creates a template, does it copy this information into Student.lproj or does it create a new folder for the template?
The account is hanging for quite a while on Login and logout now as well.
Once I create this template for the Student account, I need to create a login script that will restore the template upon login of the Student account.
please help

It's /System/Library/... not /Student/Library
Also, if you want it to reset at log out, just have them log in as Guest.

Font book is frozen after trying to create a "smart collection"

I am currently running OS X 10.9.4 on an iMac. I have added quite a few fonts for use with graphic design and have not had any problems until today. I tried to create a smart folder titled Scripts and I am now receiving the wheel of death. I have searched through the forums and googled online. My searches led me to restart the computer in safe mode. I then restarted it normally. That did not fix the problem.
I am not an expert (at all!) and am completely flabergasted at the moment. A lot of the sites recommended using the OS X install disk but I do not have one as this was a free update from the App store.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried validating all your fonts, or at least the ones you want in your smart folder?
To validate fonts in Font Book, select them in the main Font Book window (command + A will select them all), then choose "Validate fonts" from the File menu.

Trying to create a shell script to cut/paste files in finder. Help needed.

I'm trying to create an automator shell script to cut/paste. It'll function exactly like copy/paste. i.e. I'll just copy file/files with command+c like always, but then I'll create an automator which uses the "mv" terminal app to move the files which works exactly like cut paste.
I need some help since I don't know the syntax for creating shell scripts.
What I did so far is to do it in automator with Apple Script which goes like the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
end tell
return input
end run
This gets the copied file path from clipboard before, as input, and then recognizes the active finder window as thePath so then executes the mv command for the input file to the thePath window.
It doesn't work as expected since it connects both file/window paths into a single path instead of leaving a space between them so the mv command can't recognize two separate paths.
What's the correct syntax for that line
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
to leave a space between input and thePath under the mv command?
Also this requires the terminal app to be open in the background.
After I get this to work I want to do the exact same thing using shell script within automator, so I won't need Terminal to be open all the time.
And the next step will be to cut/paste multiple files/folders but that should be easy to do once I get the hang of it.

Try using:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
do shell script "mv \"" & input & "\" " & thePath
return input
end run

Trying to create a Mozilla Persona account, but I'm not receiving the confirm credentials e-mail after three tries. Help?

I'm trying to create a persona account for: (Email removed by mod) but when I try to sign up after I've entered my e-mail and new password, I do not receive my confirmation e-mail (after repeated attempts).

The original url you gave me was: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/ which is in the first screenshot I provided. If I am in the totally wrong place, it is because that is where I was recommended to go.
I cannot login with my email and password, for as I stated in the beginning, I'm not receiving the confirmation email message that validates my email address in order to create a Persona account.

Any ideas

Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.
For help on how to set up your e-mail on some of the most common software applications and devices, see How do I set up my TalkTalk email?
If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Question
When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Script stops calculating...

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Although I am using the same script as the fields above in the columm, the script eventually stops calculating and I can't figure out why. Is there a limit of how many calculation scripts you can enter? I will attempt to attach my pdf as soon as I figure out how. Thanks.

For e31 :
var e30 = +getField("e30").value ;
var c31 = +getField("c31").value ;
if ( (e30 !== 0) && (c31 !== 0) ) event.value = e30 + c31 ;
else event.value = "";
for e32 :
var e31 = +getField("e31").value ;
var c32 = +getField("c32").value ;
if ( (e31 !== 0) && (c32 !== 0) ) event.value = e31 + c32 ;
else event.value = "";

if ( (e32 !== 0) && (c33 !== 0) ) event.value = e32 + c33 ;

Java console doesn't show any error... That's why I am wondering if it's not a limitation issue... or memory issue, because they are maybe too many rows or something....
The c value is not calculated.

Whfree can i find my channels in elements 11..i am trying to create a text effect

I am trying to create a text effect that requires me to make all channel active. Normally in photoshop i can find the tab near my layers but they are not there.

There is no channels palette in Elements.
You can select channels in the levels command. There is generally a way to do what you want in Elements; can you give more details about what you want to achieve?
