Having switched recently from Entourage to Mac mail, there is one thing that i am missing and would like some help. I have a large inbox and normally find mail by clicking on the "From" column header, to sort the by the names of people sending me mails. Using entourage I would then press "d" on the keyboard to take me the first name begining with d. However in Mail when I press d, it takes me to the first email in which the subject line starts with a d. How do I get it to take me to the first name begining with d?
What I'd like is for a function that can sort the categories into individual columns for the categories. So that this big list of purchases I have is sorted out into their own column that matches the category and then sums it too. Does this make sense? I was sort of avoiding any VBA for this but if thats how it has to be done then thats cool
I can't find the option to get rid of them. The first two, arrows and the dot. I only have 'Attachments', 'Date Received' and 'From' selected under 'View > Columns'.
I've set up Rules and they work if I go to Messages/Apply Rules and click each of the rules. However, it does not apply the rules if I click All Rules at the head of that list. Someone advised me to check the boxes of each Rule under Tools/Rules so they would be applied when mail arrives, but that doesn't work. All of those boxes are checked and the rules are not applied when mail arrives.
1. Any idea how to make rules apply as mail arrives? 2. If that's not possible, do you know how to make "all rules" work so I don't have to highlight and click through each of the several rules?
My mail.app seems to be stuck on the wrong sort default. Like most people, I prefer my messages sorted in date order. Somehow, my work mailbox has become stuck on sort by message subject. I can change it to sort by date, however, if I send an email (in any account), it reverts back to sorting by subject. Quitting and restarting Mail.app also reverts it to sort by subject. It now seems to be spreading to my other mailboxes.
I've been spending the past few days upgrading my Aunts computer to SL, and while I was at it I told her I'd set up Mail for her. When she logged in, it just showed things "to", in the inbox, when it should be "from", seeing as it should all be to her... and it isn't. Seems to treat everything as a sent mail... which it isn't either. Heres a pic(spam box in this case, all mailboxes look like this)...
It's an AOL account if that helps.... Any ideas? I'm in the dark on what to do. Hope someone knows how to fix this problem..
I was wondering how to add columns in Pages. In Word, I would add a column and then when I typed to the end of the page, it would print at the top of the page on the right. I don't need to add a column in a table.
I've been playing around with my spaces setup and I'd like to know if it's possible to unlock 5 spaces in a row (columns), as opposed to the current limit of 4 columns and x amount of rows. Maybe I'm just being picky but, when it comes to spaces. I like being able to just move horizontally from beginning to end without getting lost when additional rows are attributed.
I prefer to use the column view for the finder. The thing is that I always have to enable it when open some new folder. Is it possible to always view in columns instead of icons?
I'm a person that loves data and wouldn't it be good for users to be able to customize the column with even more information? Like being able to add more columns to better filter files in our computer.
Actually I would have to obtain a database of about 30 - 40 columns in a fixed order to come. I received many different databases, some fields such as street-houseN/boxN or names of persons in 1 field or multiple fields. (Depends on how the company keep track of data in a database)I would now systematically change databases automatically with applescipt and convert to all databases to the fixed database structure that includes all fields separated. How can I split 1 column in 3 columns?I have a tab delimited file with 1 column NAME (first-middle and last name in same field) but I need 3 columns.So I need it separated.If possible It would be great to just see for the column names.So the start file (select file) and see for column NAME.
So watch for the column NAMEÂ and make a new tab delimited file with 3 columns.FIRST NAME/ MIDDLE NAME/ LASTNAME as column names.Select file (tab delimited- mac roman)see for column NAME make new file in same directory with (_spit) in file name With 3 columns FIRST NAME/ MIDDLE NAME/ LASTNAME...The first word is the first name - the last word is de last name - the middle word or words are the middle name.When only 2 words in NAME FIELD > first name and last name.
I have a column that has name / phone and i'm trying to break out the two into two separate columns. I can't figure out a way to do this? I'm trying to figure out to use the line break to trigger the column separation but no luck? Here is an example of what i have in a column:
Is there a way to change the date format in the column to display the date number. currently i can get the date to only show ex. friday, 11:42 or yesterday 11:42. i would like to see friday 4, 11:42 instead.
I was wondering if anyone might know anything about the pink flashing columns i'm experiencing on my iMac screen. at first, there was one column on the screen with pink stripes... the second time it continued the same, and the third time, another column of pink stripes opened up and it really started distorting the image on the desktop, moving up and down uncontrollably.
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Excel Mac 2008. I am trying to find a compatible duplicate remover. On my PC I used Ablebits which was great. Now that I have moved to Mac I cant find a similar product that is compatible.
In Numbers '08, is it possible to link cells/columns between sheets; so that in the below spreadsheet selecting an item from Column A in "Hub Dimensions" sheet in the drop down box of the "Spoke Calculator" sheet would fill out the cells in Column D of the "Spoke Calculator" sheet with data from the related cells in the "Hub Dimensions" sheet?
Fairly simple, I've added an automatic contents page to my document, but I was hoping to have it use two columns instead of one to conserve space since none of the headings are especially wide. However, when I change the number of columns, it screws up the contents, whatever is used to space out the titles and the page numbers doesn't seem to adjust automatically.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to do this without manually entering the contents?
I've read the other posts about this issue, but have not found a thread addressing automatic resizing a Finder column width to the longest filename. Is there a trick to configure Finder to do this? So far it looks like only a manual double-click of the column handle will accomplish this.
I am calucalting the working hours. For Eg: 8:00 AM & 1:20 PM and the duration is 5 h 20 m. How can i make '5" in hours column and "20" in minutes column automatically?
My A1226 is really giving me fits. It will display persistent vertical pink and green pixel column patterns in windows or over the entire screen at start up. I have twice performed the "PRAM Re-set" with Command-Option-P-R depressed with pwer on and that has worked. But tonight it came back and I had to do it a third time. Is this a potential or probable power/battery problem? I hope someone here is familiar with this!
