OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mac Mail Resets Organize By Conversation?
Apr 23, 2012
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) to Lion and there seems to be a bug in Mail where despite my repeatedly unchecking the "organize by conversation" option, it keeps defaulting back to this. I cannot figure out what to do to make it STAY unchecked -- I absolutely LOATHE "organize by conversation" and just want to use classic view without this and stay sorted by date received.
I'm trying to figure out a way to go from an individually opened email to its conversation view. I know the Conversation View tickbox but that just groups the emails in the inbox. What I want is to go from an email that is opened in its own window to the email's conversation in the inbox.
Side note: I'm trying to do this as the CulturedCode Things' autofill puts a link to the individual email (or many links to individual emails in the conversation). When I click on it, it opens the email in its own window but I also want the context of the discussion. (And all this because gmail forced the ugly new look upon me - gmail+Mailplane was working just fine... )
I just installed Lion 10.7.3 on my machine and was really looking forward to the Conversation View in Mail since I often get involved in long threads with clients and only need to see the reply as it partains to the most recent email and not the entire thread at multiple quote levels. So, I was a bit disappointed to see that this did not happen after starting up Mail. I've checked all the Preferences and there certainly does not seem to be any setting about it. All I know is that most of the mail that quailify as Conversations still show the entire thread, just neatly laid out in the main panel without cutting out any "redundant text" as the Apple Lion website mentions. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I rebuild my mailbox?
When I view a received e-mail in Mail, it appears as part of a conversation. I want to be able to print single e-mails. In the View menu, 'Organize by Conversation' is checked by default. If I select an e-mail in my inbox, it appears on screen as part of the conversation, but with a gap between individual e-mails*. if I select the particular e-mail in the conversation that I want and go to Print, it prints the whole conversation. If I uncheck 'Organize by Conversation' and select an e-mail in the inbox, it again appears on screen as a part of the conversation, but without a gap between individual e-mails* and if I print, it still prints the whole conversation. * This, too, seems perverse. I would have thought that with 'Organize by Conversation' checked, the conversation should appear onscreen as continuous, whereas it appears with gaps, and, conversely, with 'Organize by Conversation' unchecked it should appear with gaps, whereas in fact it appears without gaps. I then found this:[URL] But nothing seems to work. I tried changing the 'View' setting in Preferences, I tried all the Expand and Collapse options in the View menu and all other options in the View menu, but the printing behaviour remains the same. The only method I have found for printing just part of a conversation is by selecting its text, pasting it into a text document and printing that.
I just realized that I have never seen an option to organize mail in the Mail app on my Macbook. Is there a way to do this that I am not seeing or is this another feature that Apple has to implement? It seems strange to add the tag feature to documents on your mac but not to integrate that with your email.
I use a Logitech M570 with my late 2009 Mac Mini and like to have my scroll set to the way scrolling should work with a scroll wheel and how it has work for year before Apple decided it was wrong. Well after I updated to 10.7.4 my mac now wants to reset the scroll to the new way Lion does it after every shutdown or restart and its starting to get really annoying.
I don't like the way that finder arranges my files and folders. I have tried all the arrangements and none of them "flow" for me. What I would like to do is to be able to put my files / folders where I want them. I like to group similar folders together and put the most important files/folders at the top. Now this isn't an exhaustive list of how I want to arrange them. Its more about where my eyes go and what I want to see. I am a new mac user so maybe this is a really simple fix that I don't know about.
I have installed Yahoo Messenger for mac, when i chat with my windows friends, I could not able to start voice conversation. Please let me know, how to start voice chat.
and my windows friends informed, while start the voice conversation, they are getting feedback that the version i am using is not support.
I have the aluminum unibody macbook from I think 2008 with the 2.0 ghz and 2 gigs of ram. I was on iChat with a friend the other day and wanted to record our conversation. So I fired up QuickTime X and started the screen recording function. When we were finished (a good 15 mins later) I pressed stop on the screen recording and everything seemed fine. I went back today to make notes and it only recorded 6 minutes of our conversation!! My computer was really working hard on the fan keeping it cool from all the cpu usage but I thought everything was fine. Could it have overheated and caused QuickTime to stop recording? Or another explanation?
I like putting different background pictures on my various folders, but I cant get the Mac OS X HD background to stick. My user folder sticks around after logout, but the Mac OS X one reverts to what I have set as defaults.
I'm the only user (therefore administrator as well), so I don't see what the problem is.
Hopefully this goes here and not the "help" forum. I'm coming to you guys for help because I'm not use to solving Mac-related issues. I'm more of a PC guy usually.
My girlfriend's Macbook (older white one. Bought in 2008, but I believe it was refurbished. I think it's a 13" but I'm not positive) fell a few feet yesterday (it was closed, but hibernating), and I thought it was fine until later that night stuff kept crashing on her and it reset a couple of times. Then it refused to boot up. Finally it started beeping at her 3 times instead of starting up, so I knew it had to be a RAM issue. I figured maybe it got knocked loose.
So I took out the RAM and put it back in. No dice, so I tried it again. This time the Mac booted up like normal. I thought that was it.
Except now, every time she moves the Mac much at all (which is somewhat important, being a laptop and all) something apparently gets jostled and the computer resets. One of these times, it beeped at her three times again, but I was able to boot it back up without having to touch the RAM again.
Any ideas of what the issue or possible fix could be? She's running OS X. It's up and running fine now but I'm afraid to move it too much.
I've just booted my MacBook (Snow Leopard 10.6.3) and got a warning that my clock is set to a date before 2008 (it's Jan 1, 2001, 0:00) and that this may affect some applications. Moreover, OS X forgot my preferred wireless network (which makes me think it's not just the time server acting up). I've found out that other people had a similar problem, but I couldn't out the reason for this weird behavior. Did anyone here experience something similar?
After working with two external drives and trying to erase one through the disk utility tool my mac stopped working. I have snow leopard on the standard mac.
The erasing didn't work, after 3 hrs it was still "busy" so I restarted my mac. After the restart the desktop background had changed to the original one, the dock was back to its original place with all the original items in it. Non of the items I put there was in it.
A lot of my applications didn't work anymore and I had a separate partition with my documents, but that entire partition was erased, I thought at first. But when I looked for a folder through the go menu of the finder and typed /volumes/documents this still existed, it doesn't show however in the finder and except for one folder (parallels) everything on it is deleted.
After putting some things back where I had them and seeing if I could get back the documents partition I restarted my mac for something and when it was restarted everything had reset itself again! The background, the apps not working, the items in the dock, all the settings (spaces and so). Now every time I restart it resets and deletes everything again.
Is there a way to get everything back, especially everything from the document partition? Since my Msc thesis is on there, it is pretty important to get that data back.
My copy of Safari keeps resetting every time I close it. I lose bookmarks, history and extensions. This started in Leopard. It keeps giving me the copy I get after a fresh install of Safari, with the default bookmark tabs, every time i open it.
I deleted Safari using AppCleaner, then I reinstalled Safari after downloading it from Apple, both before and after the upgrade to Snow Leopard, all the way to 10.6.4. I have fixed and repaired permissions. Completely baffled. Only extension I use is clicktoFlash. Happens even if no extension installed. Examined plist file, keeps defaulting to the copy on first install.
I find Firefox too slow and Chrome still needs work. I loved Safari until this started happening. Just want it to keep my bookmarks and tabs after each open.
If I drain my battery all the way down then power up my system, the clock will reset back to 2001 and my power management settings will reset as well. I expected that my macbook air would have a little battery to keep all this information even if the battery power runs out, but either mine is broken or this is normal for the mba. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this normal or is mine broken?
I have a MacBook, OS X 10.4.11, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo.
Today, all of a sudden my laptop seems to reset. My desktop flickers and then all files are out of place, the colors have changed etc. When I open an application, all my settings are GONE. This concerns mail, firefox (no more bookmarks), all of my pictures in iPhoto are gone, files that I was downloading with Vuze have disappeared... Everything is as if I've just bought a new computer. iTunes seems to be OK though, all of my music is still there. And all data (word documents etc) are still on my hard drive.
Can anyone help me to retrieve my former settings?
Another problem I want to ask about : I have all my pictures copied in a file on my hard drive. But all in a small size. Does anyone know how I stop this from happening automatically?
I should mention that I don't have many computer skills, and don't speak much jargon, so it would be nice to answer in dummy language. :-)
I have a WD my book network drive that i have connected to my router via ethernet.
i am trying to run my itunes library off /volumes/public/shared/music/itunes but when i restart my computer itunes resets the media library back to default ??
I have this photo for my user display picture, and i've got it cropped because I only want part of it as my display picture.I have to keep resetting it all the time, and its beginning to annoy me a lot.I think its everytime I turn my computer off by holding the power button for 5 seconds (I think) for when my computer freezes or something.Please tell me how to stop this happening & why its happening.If you need the info about it then here it is:Processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 DuoMemory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MBSoftware Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)13-inch, Mid 2009
Lately whenever i start up my computer the clock changes to 2000 and some random time, there are also about 5 pop-ups from finder asking me if i want to allow programs. I fix the clock problem by going into the time settings and click the unlock button but i have to do this everytime i start up my mac. I attached a screenshot of what pop ups come up.

I have a macbook pro that is simply dead. I have tried an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and I bought a new battery. I see the green lights on the back of my battery and the power cord is an apple cord that appears to be just fine. I have also tried to power on the computer with the power cord plugged in but the battery out.
Worth noting that I do not hear any fans, any clicks, or *any* indication that the computer is trying to power up. The only signs of electricity are the green lights on the battery and the small charging light one sees on the cord when plugged in to the computer.
For the last week I find that after sending an email with attachments that it remains in my draft box after sending. The mail shows up in the sent box, but it never get's deleted from the draft box until I resend it. This is happening on both my MBP and iMac. Both machines connect to iCloud for mail.
i have a macbook and my gf has a mBP and we just recently go SBC/At&t DSL. but this stupid ass 2wire modem keeps randomly losing all its signal or something and takes about 5 mins to reset. I had this problem when i was at home with the same router. Does anyone know what to do?
I have a 24" ACD plugged into my iMac, and they work well together (other than the ACD needing a boost, but we'll discuss that some other time).
I can't seem to get backgrounds to stick; I set a background on both displays, but whenever the machine wakes up from sleep or a screensaver, it's back to the default nebula/star field of Leopard. When I try to once again set those displays, the folder containing the pics, which had been added to the preferences interface, has disappeared from that pref pane.
After some Google trawling, I can't seem to find any answers to this question, so here goes nothing:
The 'Artist' bar on the left of the iTunes 9 interface will jump back up to the top of its scrollbar every time you click on an artist in it, and often when I select an artist that requires any scrolling to get to it it immediately jumps to the top of the list and thinks I clicked on one of those artists.
This has basically crippled my music browsing, or at least made it insanely annoying, so a fix would be nice. I've tried trashing all the preferences and rebooting, to no avail.
