Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

  • How do I keep my emails in Apple mail after they have been downloaded from exchange server

    Hi
    I have an urgent issue with my work email. I have used Apple Mail to read and store my work email right off my work Exchange server - without any problem.
    All was fine, and for what seems a very long time, I happily used both my win 7 laptop at work and my 2 Apple computers at home and during travel as well as my iPhone - anywhere.
    However, now, there is a new policy at work where all email older than 3 months (sigh!!) has been removed to an "online archive" of the "emc SourceOne" - which is a non-crossplattform service - and not accessible from other than a windows PC with supported browser (not including SafarI). (Windows revenge) I have lost all access to these on my iPhone, which is a shame - not Apples fault, though. This is  not about blaming Apple.
    However, I still have all my "older than 3 months" email in theory safely kept on both of my Apple computers - presumably safely stored in Apple Mail.
    Here is my question: I have not dared to connect either of these imacs / mbas to Internet - at all - in fear of losing my precoius work emails. I have feared that the exchange server will kill all these "older than 3 months" email kept there - as soon as it gets a chance to do so.
    So I urgently need an educated advise. Googling any kind of "apple" questions seems to be far less productive now than a few years ago...
    1. Can I safely connect Apple Mail to internet without losing my already downloaded exchange emails?
    2. If not - how should I proeceed to get these files safely transferred to my iCloud email?
    Any and all help will be deeply appreciated!
    Best regards, from a chilly evening in Oslo, Norway

  • Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

    Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

    I have been losing notes off and on for almost 2 years now. Contract is almost up--will probably switch over to a Galaxy next time.
    Notes are extremely important to me. I have NO idea why they disappear. Here is what I learned.
    Originally the notes were backed up to my Yahoo account as many of you found out. When you lose one, you will find it in your Notes folder in your Yahoo email account. Similar backup with Gmail.
    I started using iCloud for notes a month ago. The huge advantage is that you can compose or paste in large amounts of text from your desktop device, and they are pushed immediately to the iPhone. Editing is a breeze now.
    But wait—what happens if you lose a note?  I lost my main shopping list this morning while at Home Depot. iCloud is immediately updated, and the note is erased! No backup. So I have resorted to drafting emails of each note which are then saved in iCloud email Draft folder. Works for now, but a horrible workaround for what should be a robust app. Shame on you Apple.

  • Why do I keep losing Data in my Health App DashBoard?

    Why do I keep losing Data in my Health App DashBoard? I have restored and got it back and it keeps losing data 4 days in a row.

    Hi saer1964, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're not hearing sound when using Bluetooth connected to your car stereo. It can be difficult to say why this might happen, and there are some good troubleshooting steps that we can use to isolate or resolve the cause of this behavior. 
    I would start with the troubleshooting steps mentioned at these links:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit - Apple Support
    These steps can help resolve many common issues with Bluetooth connections. 
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L

    Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L. After a period of time this device disconnects from the internet. What do I have to do to correct this?

    This seems to be a problem in various areas. I'm in Michigan north of Detroit, when they switched from 3G to 4G, reliability and speed dropped significantly. My first service calls were frustrating as the service tech told me I had unused WIFI setups on my PC and I needed to delete them. told him the device works everywhere else, but he was instant I delete the unused, imagine that fixed nothing. I was sent a replacement device (refurbished without a battery or back) which was worthless as it was different form what I have and could not be used, so I sent it back I have emailed the Customer Service VP for the region and after months of not getting the issue resolved I was told 4G service was in the process of being updated in my area and not to expect it to improve until sometime in 2013. Since the device detects 3G and 4G, it switches to 4G and connection often drops to 1 mbps and cannot even get a Google page. Under 3G, it was pretty consistent at 68 to 72 mbps. My options are to replace my 3G/4G device with a 3G only or change to a different service provider. I have a cottage basically on the fringe area and 3G connects at 68-72 99% of the time and outside of Boston, Washington north of Seattle (almost Canada), Texas, Chicago, etc, 4G works great, so it is not the device. Guess I'm not sure the push to 4G if they are not ready. Guess once the sale is complete they have you and if service is bad, oh well. The sad part, my current cell phone contacts are ending and I was seriously planning on leaving ATT to switch everything to Verizon based on service prior to the switch to 4G, but that does not make any sense now. My Apple 4G can be a hot spot and works great when I' m at home, but why pay for 2 different services. The other interesting note, I left Comcast due to poor service (internet was slow from 6am to 10pm or dropped completely) and now Verizon has teamed up with them... sure hope they are not the cause of poor internet service... like maybe Verizon is using them for internet service... I was told no... but problems started around the same time of the announcement. So based on responses from Verizon, I will check my other options. The commercials are great but reality is delivery, no so great.

  • Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help?

    Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help? It keeps telling me 'Audio file not found', and seems to be different tracks in the same project each time too.

    I also have this problem using Garageband in a school network situation when students open their project on one station, save it to their network drive, and later open it at a different station.  90% of the time there will be no issue, but sometimes audio files are lost. (Garageband '11, iMacs)
    That sounds like it might be a failure of the students to perform a Save As and check Archive Project when they do. This asks GB to pull all the files it needs into the associated .band document rather than point to them externally (and then risk not having them be there).

    Not sure.  What did your carrier say when you contacted them?

  • How do I keep my logo from distorting in my signature in apple mail?

    I'm creating a signature in Apple Mail.  Every time I try, my company logo distorts.  How do I fix this?

    There's usually a way to do stuff - even if poking around 20 steps instead of someone else doing it in 2!
    You can usually do a right click on an image and you should see options to save it.  See below

  • Signature in Apple Mail

    I've added a signature to Apple Mail preferences that has a .jpeg and the option to add it at the bottom of an outgoing mail. The signature works OK with a text email, but when the email itself contains graphics, or an attachment, the signature reverts to the beginning of the message. How do I standardize the signature to always appear at the bottom in emails?
    Thanks.

    I would have to test this, but I suspect that in the menu under Edit, you have selected to insert attachments at the end of messages.  This is a good option, but may impact differently with a Signature.  The option for the Signature is only in reference to whether above Quoted Text, or Not.
    I doubt it has to do with whether using RTF vs Plain Text, but will test as time allows.

  • Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

    Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
    Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

    You are running Firefox 34, the most recent version is 35.0.1. If you are having trouble updating, please try downloading the most recent version from www.getfirefox.com and installing it over your existing version. It will save your information but update Firefox to the newest version.

    I know I have new mail why can't I see it in Apple Mail?

    Oh.
    This seems to be a common problem with Yahoo (search this site)
    I only have one piece of advice to offer. Change your email provider to one that is not Yahoo.

  • Why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

    why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

    >>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

After 30 seconds, it opens up, everything in the inbox remains selected. Won't be able to open anything in the inbox without everything opening up. Help!

    Hi Edwin,
    Try force quitting the Mail app:
    Option+Command+Esc, then select Mail from the list. See if that helps.
