The new update of Numbers killed the mail merge file use. Do you know of a work around with out going over to the "Dark Side Microsoft "

Mail merge was dropped in Numbers 3.x. you can still use the previous version which is loacted in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"

What happened to mail sent sent from keepers to inbox?

I sent mail from the keepers box to the inbox and it did not transfer. What happened to it? Can I retrieve it?

To what system are you referring? There is nothing on my iPhone called a "keepers box". Is English not your native language? If it isn't, try reposting in the language in which you're most comfortable.
The only thing I can think of is you mean the "Saved" or "Sent" folders in Mail.
Best of luck.

WHAT THE @@@ happened with Mail Merge for Pages ?

This was a great feature and it appears it is NO LONGER AVAILABLE Greta option to merge with Address book
Can anyone enlightenen me as to
am I wrong
if right, why the change ?
is it too be replaced ?

Thank you for your valuable Tip of resorting back to Pages 09!
After 10 years of switching to "Apple", of buying all their products (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm still struggling with the imperfections of "Pages" compared to "Word". Inspite of that, I execute 90 % of my corresponce on "Pages" just because of the possiblity, to manage all of my personal information, i.e. addresses etc, on one platform. (For serious text work, I still use "Word".)
The sensible tendency of "Apple", to lure you into the "cloud" is frightening because at the same time they convey you the feeling, that your very own data is not your property any more:
- If you disconect your addressbook from the cloud, it may be completely erased on your own computer
- Synchronizing of your data is forced more and more on the cloud
- Personal information is hidden folders with limited or no access.
Of course, I'm lured by the convenience of easy use, yet I think, that this policy of "Apple" is a dead end road. They should at least give you an option!

What Happens to Mail on Leopard After Move to iCloud?

Hi,
I just ran the Lion update on my MacBook Air, which I use mostly for traveling, and am thinking of activating iCloud. The MacBook I use at home, however, is a few years old and only runs Leopard ... what will happen to my Mail programme after I move to the cloud? Will mail still be delivered and show up without me having to visit the iCloud website?
I am hoping to buy a new iMac soon, so I don't want to upgrade from Leopard to Lion on my old MacBook.
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
Jana

Ok, so I just took the risk and moved to iCloud on my MacBook Air and the Mail programme on my old MacBook thankfully still seems to operate without any problems.

What happens to mail only accounts?

I bought 3 email only accounts along with the family pack in mobile me (when it was dot mac) long time ago
I paid for these for several years, then mobile me came in with Aliases, but my mail only accounts were tied over as legacies, and I continued paying for them in mobile me.
They are 3 [email protected] addresses, and are important to keep.
What will happen in iCloud? am I going to loose these addresses - which would have a major impact on my "digital lifestyle"
I really need to know how to keep them not figure out how to live without them!
Then also I have two email addreses/accounts as part of mobile me family pack, wife has two also, Son has one.
Does each of these accounts need migrating over to iCloud?
What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
Advice appreciated, thanks, Graham

You mention email-only and Family Pack: these are not the same thing, but it doesn't matter as they can be treated the same.
Each account (or sub-account) can be separately migrated to iCloud at http://me.com/move and will become a full individual iCloud account complete with all the facilities (Lion 10.7.2 required) and 5GB of free space.
What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
I see no reason why this should be a problem. You will need to sign in with your main account at System Preferences>iCloud and then add any subsequent accounts, that you want to use on the same user account on your Mac, at System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.

What happened to mail?

Mail was working fine and then the application will not load or connect. The little color wheel appears and then the application will go to "Application Not Responding".
Does this mean the application has become corrupted on the disk or are there issues in connecting to the MAC Account/
I'm bewildered.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running):
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.
Post back with your observations.

What happened to "Mail Link to This Page" in Safari 6.0 in Mountain Lion?

I just loaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro. When I went to use Safari (6.0), I noticed that I can no longer find "Mail Link to This Page" under File. How do i mail a link now?

Thanks for that, as I hadn't noticed the dropdown in the composition window. However, it also requires you to change the format of the message to Rich Text in order for the page to transmit properly. I'm a journalist, and I use plain text for all my messages (newspapers prefer this), so now I have to select File>Share>Email This Page, then choose Send Web Content As Web Page, then change Message Format to Rich Text, before I get the result I need.
In the previous OS I just chose "Send Contents of Web Page" or whatever the instruction was, and it was done.
I'm beginning to understand the true difference between the phrases "unnecessarily complicated" and "simply elegant".
I appreciate your help, nevertheless.

What happened to Mail's trash?

I have Gmail trash but not my ATT trash anymore. How do I empty the trash after deleting a mail message?

You should not need to empty Trash. When you send it to the Trash it should be gone.

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

What happens to a mail item, Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed

What happens to a mail item, when Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed while in the mail tool? I can't seem to find the email file anywhere.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?

Looks to me like I permanently deletes the message.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?
Is this really a key combination you find it easy to press by mistake? To answer the question, no, it doesn't look like you can remap that, but note that if you choose Edit -> Undo immediately after deleting, the message will come back.

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE! Thank god Pages 09 is still there.

…and the other 98 missing features.
Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments. I looked into preferences and no option there. I have to go into the menu to attach a file. What happened? That seems to be a pretty basic function.

You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

What WordStar 3.01 can do in Mail Merge that Pages '09 can't.

I have a Bento database. I want to print contra dances from it on 3x5 index cards. I can save the database as a Numbers worksheet with all the data I want on it. I SHOULD be able to use the fields from that Numbers file to create a Pages document that merges, using that data, to print on the index cards.
Meanwhile, Apple apparently thinks that addresses are the only kind of data anybody could ever want to merge in a document. This is a stupid limit. Your programmers are unnecessarily standing between me and a reasonable expectation of what your software ought to do.
I could do this in WordStar in the mid 1980s on a Commodore 128 running CP/M. I could do it in WordPerfect under DOS. I can do it in Word in Windows, and I HATE Windows.
Why can't I do it in Pages on my Mac?

I hacked my way to the answer before reading your good advice. I see three problems here:
1. As you say, the tutorial materials are vague and fail to explain how the feature works or how to get to the feature.
Agreed
2. The "Edit:Merge" menu option is greyed out until you add a Merge Field, so you can't connect to a Numbers data source until AFTER you have chosen your first Merge field, which presumes you are using the address book, so the first field has to be an Address Book field even if the eventual document doesn't have any Address Book fields in it.
No.
Have you tried my instructions?
All you need is a Numbers spreadsheet with the appropriate headers in it. Link to that and then you can merge to those revealed headers.
3. There is apparently a "magic number" bug in Mail Merge in Pages. Since I couldn't connect to a data source until after inserting the first Address Book field and I was working with bad advice from the tutorial, I inserted 14 fields, creating my own cross-reference table in a separate document to tell me which Address Book Field to map each Numbers file Merge Field to.
Again, why are you insisting on barking up the wrong tree, and arguing with the koalas that they aren't pandas?
When I actually got around to mapping the fields, I hit the magic number 13 and instead of seeing Numbers fields to map to, I saw Address Book fields again. I tried deleting the field and creating a new one and got a repeat of the Edit:Merge window now pointing to the Address Book. When I once again pointed it to the Numbers file, all the fields I had mapped changed their names to the actual Numbers fields, and when I went to create the new field, the list of choices were from the Numbers file instead of the Address Book.
Haven't a clue what this is supposed to mean, and why you are still futzing about in Address Book.
So, I got what I wanted, though I wasted a lot of time unnecessarily using Address Book fields and remapping them to the Numbers fields, and I'm still hampered by the lack of Conditional Merge Fields. From Bento, I have a field named "Becket" that has either a "0" or a "1". I'd like to type the word "Becket" on the card if it is "1" and not type anything if it is "0". I could do that in Wordstar, etc.
Why?
It seems that in Pages, I have to tweak the data itself, wrestling with Numbers to replace all "1"s in that column with "Becket" and replace all the "0"s with empty cells. It's a lot more of a tedious process in Numbers than it would be if I just had a conditional Merge field.
Can't follow what this has to do with a simple merge which is where you started.
