Unable to send mail using MobileMe…: Apple Support Communities

Ron Guest fixed it. This is a generally good idea to delete and re-add email accounts. It fixes many mysterious issues. The next upgrade is just to delete his MobileMe account.

OK. I self-solved this one. I deleted the MobileMe account on the MacBook Air, quit Mail, then started it up again and re-added the MobileMe account in Mail. Now I can send just fine.

TotalFinder brings tabs to your native Finder and more!. This is an interesting way to interact with Finder. Probably power users would benefit from this more. The average user just gets confused with this kind of UI change.

jlbunting solved the issue:

I was the one who first started this thread. I want to report, I figured out how to get WebDav working on Pages. All I had to do was upgrade to 4.2 and install Pages 1.3. This fixed the WebDav certificate issues I was having. Now I can login and import/export to WebDav. I can access the folder on my computer and it works perfect. I am using Bluehost and Webdisk for the WebDav.

Pages wont type in black text

Peggy solves the problem!

It appears you are having a common problem many users of Snow Leopard are having. There are two things you may not have done.

First, use the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2). The 10.6.3 combo updater also fixed the problem, but it’s best to use the most recent.

Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork ’08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork ’09 it’s Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you’re not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn’t have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork ’08 or iWork ’09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork ’08 or iWork ’09. If it doesn’t have the ’08 or ’09 Software Update won’t find them & the updaters won’t work.
