Re: Groups in contacts
Hi Severin, AFAIK you cannot simply select one group and have the mail app enter all of the contacts from that group into the To field. You bring up the particular Group from the contacts app in the mail app, you don't have to sort through every single contact in the contacts app -in order to add members from that group to the To: field. You still have to add the contacts one at a time, but you don't have to swipe through every contact in your list if you tap on the group that you want to pull the email addresses from. There are third party apps that allow you to create and use groups so you might want to consider one of those if you need to send group emails from your iPad.

Re: Groups in contacts
Hi again Severin, Before I log off WAMUG I will add this bit of info for you. Group email in iOS 7 While there are other ways to trick the mail app and set up a single contact to serve as a distribution list, http://gigaom.com/2011/01/26/how-to-create-and-manage-ios-email-distribution-lists/ your best bet is to look for a third-party app to get the job done. One such app is called Simpler ($2.99 Universal) which has recently been updated for iOS 7. While originally designed to help you manage your contacts list, Simpler can also create group lists and send emails to these lists of individuals. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/multi-edit-contacts-manager/id476148613?mt=8 Kind Regards, Ronni On 5 Dec 2013, at 4:25 pm, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Severin, AFAIK you cannot simply select one group and have the mail app enter all of the contacts from that group into the To field.

Mac Mini losing network connection
Hello, I have a Mac Mini 2.52GHz Late 2009 model running 10.9 connected to a home network via ethernet cable and an Airport Extreme. Internet is via a cable modem. Also on this network I have a Mac Pro 1.1 running Lion 10.7.5 and not able to run a more up to date system. The Mac Pro is also connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet cable. Neither machine have any problems connecting to the internet. I have two backup procedures. First causes no concern and uses a WD Shirtpocket Firewire drive and Super Duper backs up to this each evening. Second is the problem. I use one of the drive bays in the Mac Pro to house a 1TB hard drive and Time Machine backs up to this disk. Whilst I am identifying Time Machine and my back up processes as an issue, I suspect Time Machine is the canary and it really has nothing to do with it. I DO need it to work reliably tho. At what seems to be intermittent times, I notice Time Machine displays an exclamation mark then find it cannot find the back up disk. When I try to connect to this disk in the Finder window left hand panel under 'Shared', I cannot connect to the Mac Pro. I cannot recall if the Mac Pro always disappears from the list of Shared computers, I think it does. In the Finder, selecting Go:Connect to Server:Browse also fails to find the Mac Pro or it's disks. Likewise the Mac Pro can connect to other computers on the network but not the Mac Mini, so I have figured the problem is the Mac Mini. The resolution is to restart the Mac Mini, which reinstates the connection to the Mac Pro and enables Time Machine to do it's thing. It all works fine, until the next time - sometimes 24 hours later. It 'seems' to be a recent problem. My questions are: How can determine what might be causing this drop out of network connections? Is there another way of resolving it apart from a restart of the Mac Mini? I've not tried a restart of the Airport Extreme to see if that resolves the problem. As I said, the Mac Mini connects to the internet without a glitch, so I am figuring the physical hardware connections are fine. Any ideas welcome.

Re: Mac Mini losing network connection
Hi Tim When it drops out you could try pinging all parts of the Network. Using Network Utility (in Utilities folder) go to the Ping tab. If you then type in the IP address of the MacPro and send say 10 pings to it, you should then see if it can see it Then type in the IP address of the Airport Express and see if you can Ping that. You can also see if you can ping the modem as well if wanted. You could also try swapping out Ethernet cables to check as well, …just incase. That may be a few things to start with ;) Hope that helps.

You'll have to do a little research in this area if you haven't done so already. Assuming that you're comfortable that your working environment won't be compromised by compatibility issues, you have appropriate backups, and your Macbook Pro has enough space on the hard drive, I can't see any reason not to proceed.

Re: Mac Mini losing network connection
Hi Daniel, Both ethernet cables have been swapped and both machines are plugged into the back of the Airport Extreme. The Airport Extreme has been reset. The little green lights in the Airport Extreme are on for each cable. I have opened Network Utility on both machines. When pinging the Airport Extreme - there is no packet loss from either machine. When the Mac Pro pings the Mac Mini the error message shows ping sendto: permission denied When the Mac Mini pings the Mac Pro the error message is simply a timeout and 100% packet loss. Moving to the Finder window. On the Mac Pro. Mac Mini is visible in the Shared list on the left. I can connect to the Mac Mini and can view all the folders and documents. Yet, Network Utility says Permission Denied. On the Mac Mini. Mac Pro is visible in the Shared list on the left. It says 'connection failed' and clicking on Connect As has no result I also have IP Scanner Pro if that helps. All it has helped me with is find the IP addresses. I guess the router is telling it that. Speaking of routers, I have swapped the Airport Extreme, about a year old and flat and square, with an older dome Airport Extreme. Doesn't make any difference. Internet still works fine on both computers. Speedtest.net gives results on the Mac Mini of 32ms ping, 33.58Mbps and 1.16Mbps Mac Pro of 11ms ping, 33.6Mbps and 1.13Mbps Given both machines connect to the router and ping fine, and also data flows from the internet at a good speed, consistent to both machines, I am thinking the router is fine and the cables are fine. It confuses me that network utility on the Mac Pro cannot access the Mac Mini and says access is denied, yet the Finder can make the connection and work effectively. And vice versa, the Mac Mini cannot connect to the Mac Pro. If it works one way, why can't it work the other way Any more hints?

Re: Mac Mini losing network connection
And one more thing. After a restart of the Mac Mini, I can now connect via the Finder window to the Mac Pro, view all the files as expected. But Network Utility and IP Scanner Pro are still reporting the same issues they had before. Time Machine has found it's back up disk and I assume will work correctly now the Mac Mini can see and connect to the Mac Pro via the Finder window - despite the information coming from Network Utility. So it's all working following a restart, until next time it faults. Does it sound hardwareish for the Mac Mini?

The Airport Extreme has been reset. The little green lights in the Airport Extreme are on for each cable. I have opened Network Utility on both machines. When pinging the Airport Extreme - there is no packet loss from either machine. When the Mac Pro pings the Mac Mini the error message shows ping sendto: permission denied When the Mac Mini pings the Mac Pro the error message is simply a timeout and 100% packet loss. Moving to the Finder window. On the Mac Pro. Mac Mini is visible in the Shared list on the left. I can connect to the Mac Mini and can view all the folders and documents. Yet, Network Utility says Permission Denied. On the Mac Mini. Mac Pro is visible in the Shared list on the left. It says 'connection failed' and clicking on Connect As has no result I also have IP Scanner Pro if that helps. All it has helped me with is find the IP addresses. I guess the router is telling it that. Speaking of routers, I have swapped the Airport Extreme, about a year old and flat and square, with an older dome Airport Extreme. Doesn't make any difference. Internet still works fine on both computers. Speedtest.net gives results on the Mac Mini of 32ms ping, 33.58Mbps and 1.16Mbps Mac Pro of 11ms ping, 33.6Mbps and 1.13Mbps Given both machines connect to the router and ping fine, and also data flows from the internet at a good speed, consistent to both machines, I am thinking the router is fine and the cables are fine. It confuses me that network utility on the Mac Pro cannot access the Mac Mini and says access is denied, yet the Finder can make the connection and work effectively. And vice versa, the Mac Mini cannot connect to the Mac Pro. If it works one way, why can't it work the other way Any more hints?

Using Network Utility (in Utilities folder) go to the Ping tab. If you then type in the IP address of the MacPro and send say 10 pings to it, you should then see if it can see it Then type in the IP address of the Airport Express and see if you can Ping that. You can also see if you can ping the modem as well if wanted. You could also try swapping out Ethernet cables to check as well, …just incase. That may be a few things to start with ;) Hope that helps.

Whilst I am identifying Time Machine and my back up processes as an issue, I suspect Time Machine is the canary and it really has nothing to do with it. I DO need it to work reliably tho.

Re: Maverick n Mail
You're welcome Brian, There is certainly nothing sinister going on in Mail :-) I'm just rushing out to an appointment but will just add some more information for you to help understand what Mail is doing in the background. Mail’s Notification Settings To determine which incoming messages trigger Mail to send notifications: 1. Open Mail’s General preference pane. 2. From the New Message Notifications: pop-up menu, choose one of the following: * Inbox Only: Only new, unread messages that appear in your Inbox (and not, for example, messages that are automatically filtered into other mailboxes) trigger notifications. * VIPs: Only incoming messages from people you’ve marked as VIPs (see Work with VIPs) trigger notifications. * Contacts: Messages from any address in your Contacts list trigger notifications. * All Mailboxes: new, unread messages that appear in ‘All your Mailboxes’ including the default Smart Mailbox - (Mail provides a default Smart Mailbox named ‘Today’s Email”, which shows messages viewed during the current day.) And any Smart mailboxes you’ve set up appear here; All new messages in all Mailboxes will trigger notifications. Note: I always have * All Mailboxes selected I have setup a few Smart Mailboxes. 3. Close the Preferences window. Kind Regards, Ronni On 6 Dec 2013, at 1:45 pm, Brian Risbey risb...@bigpond.com wrote: Thank you Ronni for you explanation.
