  • 1. Can't see files on the network
    This is driving me nuts. The VERY FIRST thing I did when I got my Mac was to connect to the PC on the network. I moved all my Firefox and Thunderbird files over to the Mac. Then the PC was turned off for 2 years. :D I've turned it back on now and I CANNOT see the files from either side. Both sides show the other machine. When I try to see the files from either side, I'm asked for a password. I haven't set one on either share on the PC side. I don't remember how I made a shared folder on the Mac side.... The PC is part of a workgroup called MalcolmO. It also sees a workgroup named Workgroup. The Mac sees both workgroups. Both sides ask for a password. It's not the password for the user I am on either machine. What's the DEAL?!?!?! Why doesn't it work? When I'd never used a Mac and knew nothing, it worked fine. After 2 years of using the Mac, it won't work anymore. What's the deal? TIA for replies.
  • 2. Two network connections at the same time ?
    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro with an Expresscard for broadband access and also a wired ethernet connection. Is there a way to use both connections and to route specific traffic through a specific connection? For example, is there a way that I could set up specific applications like Safari to send all traffic only through one speficifc network adapter and have other applications use the other adapter? Your help appreciated. Thanks much! -raaj

I know this is an odd request and I could probably just draft the
graph in word, cut and paste it intp the e-mail, and tinker with the
formatting. But I was wondering if there was a way or an add-on that
could do this.

You must mean a "signature", right?  You should always start by looking 
in the built-in Help for any application:

1. Start Mail.
2. From the Mail menu bar at the top of the screen, choose Help > Mail 
Help. The Mail Help window appears.
3. In the little search box at the top-right corner of the Mail Help 
window, enter: Signatures

The first topic it should find is "Adding a signature to your email".

No, I mean an honest to God footnote, as in an academic term paper;
looks like an exponent, follows a word, has a explanation of the
footnted item at the end, in agate. Surely, you remember .....

An email program is not a word processor; it has no footnote 
functionality.  Try composing the message in a word processor, saving it 
as RTF, and including it as an attachment to the message.

I know. Thought perhaps someone may have developed an add-on or a
client that does this admittedly arcane task.

Put the number [1] in brackets instead of a superscript.

Put the note near the bottom after the same thing.

Or if you really don't care how many people flame you,
or discard your messages unread, you can go into preferences,
turn on HTML, and use superscript tags.

[1] Or letter

Is this a new option? Current Mail app appears to only have plain text 
and RTF. RTF is not HTML (Command Option U to check the source to see 
what I mean).

If you really want to send HTML, create your HTML using any tool, open 
it in Safari, and hit Command I to mail the web page (remember to put 
any graphic someplace on the web, and have an absolute URL to graphics). 
Junk email from Apple is in HTML, with graphics on their servers.

I didn't test whether it copes well with a footnote in HTML. Might be 
interesting.

I gather Apple may add HTML email in Leopard?
 

Letter is good for footnotes. Or attach a PDF.

Mail cannot currently *compose* HTML mail. It can send it,
unfortunately.

No.  When you see Leopard, you'll see the difference.

Tiger can forward html pages and can convert RTF to HTML on the fly, but 
you cannot compose HTML yourself in an email message with Tiger.  (The 
mail application that is part of Tiger, I mean.)

Try building an HTML table in Mail, two rows, three columns.

I apologise for not re-checking the Mail app format before posting (In 
my defence, I would not normally use RTF or HTML when sending email).

I confirm I also now receive nominal RTF mail as HTML:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/html;
   charset=US-ASCII

<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; 
-khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><SPAN 
class="Apple-style-span">This is a <B>RTF</B> test. <FONT 
class="Apple-style-span" face="Party LET">Plain </FONT><FONT 
class="Apple-style-span" face="Papyrus">Papyrus </FONT><FONT 
class="Apple-style-span" face="News Gothic 
MT"><I>Italics</I></FONT></SPAN></BODY></HTML>
--Apple-Mail-1--434135988--

I have checked this in the past, when people asked how to send HTML. The 
only way of sending HTML (rather than RTF) from Mail in the past was the 
long convoluted kluge via Safari. I am using OS X 10.4.8 and Mail 
Version 2.1 (752/752.2). I have no idea when this behaviour changed.

1.Mail and imported mail in mail app

I imported my email from an iMac g5 to a MacBook Pro running Leopard. I now
have an inbox, sent box, Trash, and underneath that a set of folders I'd
created in Mail on the iMac for various mail stuff.

Under that is a gmail heading (all my mail comes to Mail app from Gmail),
and under that another inbox, sent box.


Is there a way to meld these two inboxes? Last time I looked, a new mail
coming in showed up in both places, requiring me to select each in turn.

2.Entourage Quits w/ "Mail Error" While Writing Email

Version: v.X
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: pop

Hi. I'm a newbie here, sent by Microsoft Tech SUpport. I'm grateful you're here..... I read a lot of the "Entourage crashes" questions, but have not seen my problem, so here goes...

For starters, I have Entourage 10.1.6 from Office X for Mac. And my Mac is 10.3.9 on a Power PC G4 tower....

For the past week I have been unable to Compose New Msg, Reply or Forward an email on my Entourage without it suddenly freezing after just a minute or two of typing.... Two things happen: (a) the message freezes on the screen and (b) the entire computer freezes -- it won't let me click on the desktop or go online or do anything else till it chills out. The cursor is paralyzed... I also notice during this time that the FROM (my email name) is Grey -- regardless of which email address I use (I have 3 FROM addresses)....

Finally, after a minute or two, I get a msg on my frozen screen that says "The action could not be completed. Mail error." I hit OK. The msg pops up again. I hit OK. We do this dance a half-dozen times......

I then do one of two things to get out of the program: (a) I hit FORCE QUIT, in which case a portion might show up on Drafts but usually I lose it all, including not only my text but all history that any msg had ever been attempted; OR (b) It unfreezes long enough for me to go to either FILE & QUIT ENTOURAGE OR I hit the little red circle that's on the top bar of the program when you want to close the screen window (the red circle next to yellow circle next to green circle)....

In the latter scenario of FILE & QUIT or the little red circle, I get a series of messages: (a) "Do you want to save your changes to this message?" I hit SAVE, then (b) I get a message that Entourage will put it in the Drafts folder, and I hit OK or SAVE; BUT (c ) "Action could not be completed. Mail error."... I then hit OK a few more times, and finally it lets me do the FILE-EXIT and a portion -- but only SOME -- of my message gets saved in the Drafts.....

I COPY whatever was saved in the Drafts version, and then PASTE it on a new message. I can NOT use the Draft version as my baseline. Ie got to start fresh with a New Message or go back to the original and hit REPLY or FORWARD from scratch.... Anyway, if I manage to write the world's shortest msg or if I manage to do the PASTE and then write a bit more before it freezes, I have NO problem Sending it. (Or Replying or Forwarding) Ditto, no problem RECEIVING emails....

It seems that the amount of time I spend writing the email is what triggers it - it'll let me go for 30 seconds to about 2 minutes, I'd say. But it almost always crashes when I try to add a cc or bcc, and it's very quick to crash when I add the Subject line ......

I noticed this began when I did a RESTART on my computer about a week ago because my Printer was not responding. A friend suggested I hold the CONTROL down after I do the Restart... Well that helped w/my printer, but soon after (not immediately -- maybe the next day) my email went nuts.. I then did a normal RESTART without holding down the Control key, but the problem w/ the email persists...

WHAT do I do?? I've seen replies to other questions that say something about rebuilding Databases, etc, but I'm totally clueless.....

Pls, if anyone out there could give any advice, can you pls pretend that I'm a toddler and do the (a) Go to your applications folder (b) look for this (c ) double click on that, etc etc.

* *Also, while I'm at it: My LIFE for the past 8 years is in my email, tucked in folders.... HOW DO I SAVE // COPY THEM??? Someone told me eons ago that I drag the folder onto my desktop or something, but then put some extension on it, like .xrp or .qdf or something like that? Is that what I do -- drag to desktop? What is the extension? Can I then put them all on a CD for when I (finally) get new computer and the latest version of Office w/ Entourage?....

I really can't thank you enough. Thank you!!

3.Convincing Mail.app not to add blank lines at end of message

4.Mail app keeps adding 'pop3' to reply addresses

We keep getting returned mail because the mail app is adding "pop3" when 
replying to legitimate addresses. For example, when replying to 
" XXXX@XXXXX.COM ", mail will send it out as 
" XXXX@XXXXX.COM 

It doesn't do it all the time, but enough that we were getting 2 or 3 
emails a day returned to us. We've double-checked all of our Address 
Book entries and none of them contain "pop3".

Of course now we manually inspect and change the address before any 
replies get sent , but as you can imagine, it's a big pain.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

5.Mail.app hangs when adding an account

On my 14.1" iBook running 10.2.6, I'm having a frustrating time with
mail.app.

I don't often use it for actually reading the mail, but do
occasionally.  I was on attbi.com which got taken over by comcast.net.
Recently I tried to change the information about the account, but
whenever I try to leave the preferences, I get the spinning beachball
and the app hangs until I force quit it.  I am able to use other apps
while it spins, but it does take a chunk of cpu.

It would be nice to have a clue about what it's doing when it hangs.

I ran the permission fixer, but that didn't clear things up.

I tried to rename the folder associated with the account, as I didn't
really want the email address in the folder name, and it looks like
there's a preference that specifies the name of the folder.

I've use PlistEditor to make some changes in the properties, and that
seems to work.  (I quit Mail.app before doing so).  

Does Mail.app try to contact the mail server when I try add an account?
Would that hang the app if I had some info wrong?  (Seems like a
misfeature, if so.  It's much easier to change some data that's wrong
than to never get the data stored in the first place and have to keep
entering it...)

hmmm..   I just remembered ktrace.  Maybe that'll gimme a clue, but if
someone has seen this problem and can save me some effort, I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks,
  joe
