Working with alias when sending replies...

I've searched for the answer to this, but can't find one...
I enjoy the alias feature and use it for my business name. Works fine, only--when I hit reply to business emails, I sometimes forget to choose the alias as the "From" person in the drop-down menu. Therefore, a business email gets sent with my "fun" main address attached, instead. Argh!
Is there a way I can make the Mail program automatically choose my alias as the "From" address when I'm replying to emails *sent through that address*?
Is my best solution to simply purchase another .Mac (or .Me, whatever) account and set it up with the business name/email, so I won't forget anymore?
Would upgrading to the "family" package and using one of those accounts work?

Is there a way I can make the Mail program automatically choose my alias as the "From" address when I'm replying to emails *sent through that address?
Yes. In Mail, go to Preferences > Accounts and drag that particular account on the left side of that window to the top of the list, so it's the first one. That way whenever you compose a new message, it will be the first account shown in the dropdown menu.

No. Why pay $100 for something you don't need? If you're going to spend more moeny, you'd be better off getting your own domain name and linking it to Google Apps for Your Domain, which you could still send and receive through Mail, for no charge.

    My iPhone 5 its running IOS6.4 and just work with wifi, when I use 3G I can't send or receive any data

    Try resetting all network settings, or turn the airplane mode on then off, or restarting the device itself
    if all else fails, do a restore (Back-up everything before doing this)
    if it still fails, contact apple or your wireless carrier.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey

    Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..

    A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.

  • IPad is only works with changer , when I unplug it's not working

    My iPad 3 is only works with changer  when I unplug it's not working and not connecting to the PC even please some help?

    Hi,
    "But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
    If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
    The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
    of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

  • Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audio books.  Any suggestions?

    Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audiobooks.  Some parts don't transfer.

    Robin, I have the 4S too. Here's wha I've been doing. Well, I am downloading wma books, but it is super time consuming and annoying. First, shut off genius in your preferences in iTunes. Also change to spoken podcast for speed. Then, you start to transfer from Overdrive. It will create a playlist with your book title. Open up books though because you need to keep an eye on it. It may download like three parts and then you may have a grey one. When you get the grey, cancel the transfer, delete the greyed part, exit iTunes, re-enter iTunes, and then try to download the remaining book parts. I usually have to re-enter iTunes three or four different times during a book. When your book is downloaded, all black and none grey, open up the playlist folder and double check that all parts made it in there. If not, carry them from the books folder to the playlist and then move it into numerical order.
    Re non bookmarking problem. I now have a new habit of checking what part I am on before i shut off my phone or switch to another book. It does save where you were, it just doesn't show you. For instance, if I start part three and then play music, and then go back to the book playlist, it will appear as if we are back to the beginning, but if I go to part three, it will start up from where I was. So, just start checking and then it is easy. I am flabbergasted that no other proper solution has been offered by Overdrive. This has been a problem since October. I also wish they would acknowledge the problem on their website as well as post what version number of update they have. I have 3.2.1.0 and think that's current. Does anyone have newer than this. Good luck, and happy commuting!
    An easy, quick workaround is to plug external speakers into your laptop and take it with you in the car. A bit unwieldy, but I can't commute without books.

  • How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

    I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
    I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
    Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using  a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
    as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

    Hi Geoffbubbles,
    if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
    Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
    What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
    Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
    When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
    You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
    These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
    When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
    As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
    Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
    1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
    therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
    if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
    if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
    On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
    In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
    When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
    Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

  • Iplanet 6.0SP9 to work with Alias

    Hello,
    I'm trying to get iPlanet 6.0 to work with header or host alias. Current the site will work fine when I go www.myname.com but my user base from a legacy system got in the habit of using http://myname to get to the site. Is there way to get the web server to run using the full name and the http://myname?
    Thanks!!

    You don't need to do anything special to get iPlanet Web Server 6.0 to respond to requests for different hostnames.
    What happens when you try to access http://myname now? Is it possible you simply haven't configured DNS for myname, or that myname points to a different IP address than www.myname.com?

  • Email doesn't work on Z10 when sending attachment after software update on Telus, Gmail but works on live.ca

    Having my Telus email refusing to send attachment (one meg picture), without attachment everything is OK, can receive attachments.  Weird thing is my live.ca account works perfectly.  All that happens is the clock and sending icon would alternate (left it for a couple of hours - still the same). Same result using Wi-Fi or LTE, 4G. So called tech support @ Telus and they have no solution and have two Z10 with same problem sending attachment but on Gmail account.  They are sending a ticket to Blackberry to see if problem can be resolved.  
    Emails were working perfectly before software ugrade three days ago. Anyone else having these issues?  Ideas to resolve?

    FINALLY, after TWO full months of waiting and checking every day, the problem has been resolved.  I'm disappointed that Blackberry took so long to fix, but happy that my email can finally send attachments. Also disappointed that I was not notified of the fix by my provider Telus (which they said they would). Hopefully the problem is permanently resolved and won't re-appear after another software update.

  • Can't default to email alias when sending mail

    I set up an email alias on iCloud.  On my Mac when I send a new email the "sent from" email defaults to the alias but I can't figure out how to do that on my iPad or iPhone.  I can manually change the sent from email while composing but that's a pain.  Does anyone know how to default to an alias when composing new emails?

    Eventually solved the problem by changing the password for the two email logins and recreating the accounts in Sparrow.

  • E4200 Not Working with ATV2 when wired

    I have an E4200 router & am trying to get it to work with ATV2 through HomeSharing & iTunes. It works fine when my PC is wireless & the ATV2 is wireless. BUT, when the ATV2 is wired via ethernet & the PC is wireless -- nothing! 
    PC is Win 7 64 - SP1
    ATV2 is 4.4.3 (3323) and the router is:
    E4200 is 1.0.03 build 14
    Help!!!!!

    Check the settings on the APTV2  for Airplay . The airplay symbol appears at the bottom right in iTunes and turn the APTV2 on...
    You can try the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • Makes no sense that FaceTime won't work with 4g when it will through hotspot functionality with a second device????

    Why can't I use FaceTime with 4g when I can use the 4g as hotspot and use FaceTime with a second device.  This is STUPID, no?

    Because the carriers and Apple have decided you can't. Life is frequently arbitrary and unfair.
    Submit your feedback directly to Apple requesting the ability to do FaceTime over 4G using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Problem with openURL when sending Mail

    Hi All
    I am trying to send mail from my app using
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:emailData]];
    emailData contains a google URL that i want to send via email:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=45.578982,-73.565698&daddr=45.578982,-73.5 65698
    my problem is that on Mail app it is showing on the following portion
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d
    i did a couple of tests and find out that the problem is with the "&" i tried & or & did not work cause as soon as it finds teh "&" it drop the whole string that comes after it.
    Any help on how I should format this string to appear correctly on my email will be greatly appreciated
    thx for your help

    You missed the point of my reply. You need to escape anything that you send. When you send 'http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=45.578982,-73.565698&daddr=45.578982,-73 .565698' it's just not going to work. As mentioned, you need to Google how to escape variables when sent via GET. Not to mention, your openURL command is wrong as well:
    [UIApplication sharedApplication openURL: NSURL URLWithString:emailData];
    Where emailData is:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=45.578982,-73.565698&daddr=45.578982,-73.565698
    will absolutely never work. Check the docs for how to use openURL for sending an email using the mailto: protocol. Also, if the emailData that you send using openURL: doesn't look like the escaped string from this tool: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlpoutre/BoT/Javascript/Utils/endecode.html you aren't properly escaping your URL params.

  • "with timeout" when sending Remote Events

    I have a script which accesses a dozen odd remote servers using "eppc://..." Finders and duplicates some files etc... as required by the script. The only problem with this is the script frequently hangs as if a server is not reachable it keeps on trying and fails to report it back as an error.
    I have tried putting "with timeout...." etc.. but nothing seems to work. I have developed a workaround to run a separate script pinging all the machines and if all the machines come back with suitable trip times I allow the script to continue but this is not an ideal workaround - any other suggestions or experience with this problem?

    Here's a copy/paste from a post some time back. Wish I could credit the original author, but I don't have the information.
    This was written for 10.3.9 but may apply in your case also... (easy enough to revert if it doesn't help)
    Jeff
    So there is an issue with OS X Server, where OS X tells SquirrelMail that SSL is enabled, even when its not. This causes some strange problems, like when you send an email, in Safari the mail will send but you won't be forwarded back to the inbox. In FireFox, the mail is sent but you get some strange error -12281. Well the solution (hack) to this problem is to make SquirrelMail always use non SSL. The other solution is to actually configure and USE SSL. But for the hack:
    Hack Away...
    1) Open up this file
/usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/strings.php
    2) Go to line 239 in the file. It should be a blank line, below it should be:
/* Get the hostname from the Host header or server config. */
    3) Add the following to the blank line:
$proto = 'http://';
    Thats it. That does it, just save and reload and SquirrelMail should now work properly. Alternativly, instead of adding that bit of code, you can instead comment out the block above line 239, so that line 216 is the last code before 239. That will also work.
    This hack is done with 10.3.9 and SM 1.4.4. Other versions might have differnet results.
