Corrupt Word Apple Mail substitution (e.g.., #)?

Well, I'm puzzled. In Apple Mail, when I type a Word and the drop-down list window word substitution gives me a suggestion, all the letters of the text are the hashtag of symbols, for example, #. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I used the disk utility and even served the police implements cache through Linotype FontExplorer X Pro 5. I could try to disable Word substitution, but I would like to fix this problem instead.

Please read this message before doing anything.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

Step 1

The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

* Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

Step 2

The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

Test in safe mode. Same problem?

After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why is my mail downloads enter this obscure chain of records?  / Library/containers/com. Apple.Mail/Data/Library/Mail downloads.

    I've had trouble finding my mail app downloads.  First of all, they won't in the 'Mail download' folder located in my Finder window.  Sometimes they are found in the "Downloads" folder  Other times, I can't immediately find their.  But if I search the name of the file, I noticed that my downloads in my mail application will in a download folder.  But this case is dark, buried somewhere deep in a series of folders.  Here is the chain of records for a recently downloaded file: downloads/F6320D5C-E169-47E8-9A09-00c408F1422D of tlynch/library/containers/com.apple.mail/data/library/mail.

    When I look in this folder downloads deep within this chain (and from com.apple.mail...), I find that some first downloads have been stored there directly.  But there are about two and a half years each downloaded file started being placed in a separate folder.  And the names of these folders are a long string of 32 alphanumeric characters.

    Are these folders the actual location of the files?  I can remove them?

    Can I reset the download destination? The pointer to the location of storage in the messaging application has been corrupted? Or I need to reinstall the program?

    Thanks for your help.

    This obscure folder structure is the usual place for downloading attachments in the Mail and most other e-mail clients.

    When you choose 'Download' the attachment, the file will be saved by default to the location defined in Mail-> Preferences-> general.

  • Apple Mail - slow typing 10.11.4

    I use a MacBook Pro (model 11.2) with Apple Mail.  Recently, I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.4.  Typing in Apple Mail is now very slow, which means that the text appears on the screen much slower as I type.  It might take seconds for a single word is displayed on the screen.  The trackpad is similar; Sometimes, the cursor will not move for a few seconds.

    The symptoms are not consistent over time.  One moment the words on the screen can follow typing and a minute later can be as slow as molasses.  It has been the case for a couple of weeks since the 10.11.4 updated so I went through reboots, etc.

    Also has anyone seen this problem?  Any ideas on how to solve it?

    1. open a message editing window. On the Edit menu, uncheck all options in spelling and replacements of the submenus. Test.

    2. some users with this problem report that they have been informed by the Apple Support to remove the icon from the toolbar of the message editing window markup. To do this, open a new message window, and then select

    View ▹ Customize toolbar...

    in the menu bar. Drag the tag icon - representing a portfolio case - down and out of the tool bar, then release. Click done.

    3. many problems with mail are caused by iCloud drive. If you use the service, open the iCloud preferences window, click Options... next to the practice of iCloud area and in the leaf that opens, uncheck that Mail. See if there is an improvement.

  • Apple Mail / time bug window machine

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with Time machine and Apple Mail. I had backups for over a year now using drives not 1, but 2, to be sure. I came recently in the situation where I would like to restore some of the emails which account is so more on Apple Mail (it's an old exchange account).

    I tried to open Apple Mail and then let Time Machine run on it (both with 2 drives connected with each other and with each of them separately connected), but there seems to be some sort of bug where the window Apple Mail on the open Machine time gets replicated and shown again 3 - 4 times, full screen and they all say "click on restore to recover...» "but are the Inbox empty names and emails. I can't do any recovery because neither the timeline on the left, nor the Cancel/restore buttons appear usually found when you use Time Machine are: what happens is that Time machine by itself appears to restore a couple of (corrupt) windows in full screen, which in fact, I see on the mission control , but I can do anything with because they aren't even in the environment of type galaxy of Time Machine.

    Has anyone else had this problem (not necessarily with Apple mail)? If so how do solve you this problem? I would like to know if it is really possible to get a recovery of e-mail Time machine with what's happening... It's a shame because in principle, I have all the data in Time Machine, even on separate disks 2 (rotating backups).

    Thank you

    Youssef

    Although you can restore a snapshot of Time Machine messages in the Mail application, it usually will not work with messages that were saved by an outdated version of the mail. In this case, you must use another method.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ Open

    the contextual menu.* should open a folder.

    Enter Time Machine and scroll to the snapshot that you want to restore from. The folder named "Mail" are subfolders named "V2" and/or "V3" (according to the version of Mac OS X that was used at the time that the snapshot was taken.) Inside of one of these subfolders are several subfolders representing your e-mail accounts. The name refers to the email addresses that you use. Select the account folders you want and then select

    Restoration of the... to the...

    in the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the Snapshot window. Restore the files on the desktop and not in their original location.

    Import the mailbox in the folders that you restored to the office. The imported messages appear in a new mailbox. Move those you want to keep everywhere where you want and delete the rest. Then, delete the files on the desktop.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • Where is the Apple Mail 'not junk' button?

    All-

    In Apple Mail, Yosemite 10.5.5. There is no option to mark an e-mail in the Junk folder as legitimate. I have the active built-in junk e-mail filter. When I select the message and select «Message-> Mark...» "in the menu bar, there is an option to mark as junk mail, but not to mark as not junk. Similariy, if I press control button or right click on the message itself, the only option «Mark...» "must mark as junk. If I try to customize the toolbar, the button that I gave is a thumbs down/undesirable. From left to right, on the top line of the range of customization, the buttons are remove, unwanted as a pair, remove alone, only Junk, Archive, reply, reply to all, forward as a triplet, only answer, reply to all, forward only, flag, move, copy. No thumbs up/no no junk.

    Many of the items I found on the Web about this, including recent operating systems like Yosemite, imply that some people see a button not Junk.

    What is going on?

    Thanks in advance.

    I should add that in this thread:

    My button "Not junk" is missing

    There is a lot of confusion on what is the problem. I should clarify that my mail preferences say in effect "Trust junk mail headers", part of the mail that ends up in my Junk folder is NOT explicitly identified as spam by headers, so this isn't why the messages can not be marked as spam. Some of these posters in the other thread seemed to believe the Junk button is a toggle, that mark a message as not being not junk if it's in the junk mail folder (assuming that no header interfere) and undesirable, if not in the junk e-mail folder, or something like that. I could believe that for other operating systems, but Apple is generally not nearly as careless with its icons and their labels. and in no case is the MENU item in 'Message-> Mark... '. "forever; It always reads as"spam." In other words, there is absolutely no evidence that Apple Mail, at least my installation of Apple Mail, has any idea how to mark a message as legitimate - it is a way of saying current marking what the message.

  • Apple Mail window does not appear when I click the icon in the Dock

    When you use Apple Mail, if I reduce the window, she collapses in the Mail dock icon.  When I single click on the Mail dock icon, nothing happens. In Safari and Photo, reopen their windows.  After clicking on the dock icon, Mail is the application to the front, so I can't click on window > Inbox to reopen the window.

    I do not use the Mission control, if it is not as if the window on another virtual desktop.  Is this a bug in the mail?

  • 10.11.2 OSX (El Capitan) will not synchronize with Apple Mail Hotmail

    Mac Book 2012, SSD 256, 8 GB Ram Just reloaded El Capitan 10,11,2 on SSD, naked

    SSDS are erased and reinstalled 10,11,2 to see if this would help... it didn't.

    Problem started with Yosemite and continues in El CapitanSystem I cannot add my hotmail for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird account!

    Example of an error message:

    System is "Unable to verify the account name or password" only on accounts Hotmail/outlook! All my other 5 accounts are added without problem! 

    I tried shortening hotmail password and renewed by password Microsoft 5 times in the last 24 hours, with no result!

    Help, please.  I've deliberately not migrated by user settings of my recorded image of the SSD drive before the clear operation just so I would not import corruption.

    What is a corrupted installation of 10.11.2?  If something is poisoned in my keychain?  Is this a known problem in OSX 10,11,2?  I am at my wits end because I love Apple Mail structure and have used for the last 5 years; all my files are organised in it, I want TO use it; but the system simply does not permit a connection to hotmail.

    I had this same problem on my iMac since the installation of El Capitan.  Never had a problem before this date.  I finally got Hotmail to synchronize, changed the process except mail leaves and fresh to add a Hotmail account.  It took several attempts, so no idea why it worked finally.  Now it syncs automatically not when I run Mac mail, but I can choose manually sync by right click on my hotmail account in Mac mail and it syncs correctly most of the time.  If it's not I pulled out and restart Mac mail then sync again manually.  Not an indoor pleasure, but it works.  I have no problem using hotmail on my windows PC.  After manual synchronization, I sometimes get an error when you try to delete or move a mail electronic hotmail to another folder.  I just wait until the next time I quit mail and restart to try again.  Something is certainly wrong somewhere.  Same problem with Thunderbird, but will have to re-enter the password manually to synchronize, memory of password never works, so it is not limited to Mac Mail, but is a Mac related issue.

  • Apple Mail displays an incorrect number of unread messages

    Hello

    Apple Mail on my iPad is connected to my account Hotmail from Microsoft. "I have e-mail boxes a decade in my Hotmail account (in addition to the standard"Inbox) "and Hotmail will sort my emails in each box, rules-based, I created.

    Several months ago, Apple mail started to display correctly the number of emails unread in one of my mailboxes. Recently, he began showing the number of emails unread in a second box incorrectly. In one, Apple mail displays 4 emails unread, even if this one is almost always empty. In the other, who always has a certain E-mail read in it, Apple mail displays 6 emails no more read than exist. In other words, if there are 2 unread emails, Apple mail says I have 8.

    • I checked the mail boxes in my account Hotmail by going there in my browser to see if it is has more emails unread only download of Apple mail. There is not.
    • I downloaded the Microsoft Outlook application to check and it shows the number of emails unread for each box.

    Is there a way to get Apple mail to correctly display the number of unread emails?

    Thank you.

    Ray

    Hello there Ray_ES,

    Looks like it's just your Apple's Mail application that shows the incorrect number of e-mails on your iPad. I would like to start by leaving the Mail app and the settings app:

    Force an app to close the iOS

    1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
    3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

    When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

    iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset

    If the problem persists then I would remove the account from the application settings, restart the iPad and try again:

    1. Delete the email account assigned from your device with these steps:
      1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, calendars.
      2. Press the email account.
      3. Press to delete the account.
      4. Add your account again.

  • Why doesn't apple mail attachments?

    Dear sage & powerful masters of technology,

    After a recent update, I'm afraid that my application of apple mail no longer accepts attachments.  I am running OSX 10.9.5.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Also has anyone seen this problem?

    What is the best way to solve this problem?

    Thank you for your help and time.  Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in this or other issues.

    Your humble,

    Kurt296

    What happens when you try to attach something?

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the United Nations to the Installer application or instructions to uninstall using the developer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important being able to see the content of several parties digestions in Mail is for you.

  • Why is my inbox count in gmail, and apple mail different?

    Yesterday, I asked my wife to go to gmail.com and clean my Inbox because I had more than 500 messages there. She joined the gmail.com using my email and password and she cleaned to have only 12 messages.

    I didn't know she was done because all day, my apple mail that is related to my gmail has shown the same 500 messages. When I arrived at work this morning, I noticed that he said now 249 messages, so he did, in fact, remove (or archives), some of them. I wonder if those are the only updates that it deleted but not those she archived.

    So my question is what I'm doing wrong to my settings. Is that a setting messed where archiving of messages in gmail.com don't check them in apple mail or visa versa or is simply not sync properly?

    Thank you

    Caleb
