Spam designation

[Severin Crisp]

The Albany Summer School, of which I am secretary, is now communicating with 
large numbers (several hundred at a time)  of our students by email. 
Significant numbers are being interpreted by the receivers as Junk/SPAM.  
It is not clear whether this due to our ISP (Westnet) or further down the 
track. 
Can anyone please advise on how we may avoid this?  Should the group emails be 
sent to a single committee address and “bcc” to the large group?  
Thank you
Severin Crisp

Re: Contacts after upgrade to elcapitan

[Ronda Brown]

Yes Contacts/Address Book data needed to be upgraded / migrated after El 
Capitan installation.
Sounds like some of the upgrade El Capitan 'Post-installation tasks' were not 
performed correctly.

Unbelievable that people still do not do all the 'Preparation' & BACKUP - 
'bootable backups' as well as Time Machine before upgrading the operating 
system.
Then Perform all the Post-installation Tasks!

They then wonder why problems arise?

Fwd: Contacts after upgrade to elcapitan

[gary dorn]

I've just noted there is a log file - which says "

2016-04-04 preparing merger with 508 users, 48 groups
Download from https://(name)@p46-contacts.icloud.com/(a long 
number)/carddavehome/card/
Summary ( says local people 508 , local group 48 etc..,
UPLOAD to
https://(name)@p46-contacts.icloud.com/(a long number)/carddavehome/card/
MIGRATION COMPLETED"

So I opened up iCloud via browser and their in contacts is 1018 contacts 
consisting of 8 copies of each contact!

Hmm

So I went contacts>accounts>which opened up iCloud settings , ticked contacts- 
synced to contacts app.

Oh well - problem resolved!

Re: Contacts after upgrade to elcapitan

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Gary,

Need to know what happens when the Administrator User opens the Contacts.app?
Does it crash or just not show any contacts?

Hi Gary,

You can't upgrade from Leopard 10.5.7 to El Capitan 10.11.5!

You need to be running at least OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, as you will need 
access to the Mac App Store in order to download the update before installing 
(if you are running a version of OS X that predates Snow Leopard find out here:

Upgrading from OS X Leopard
If you’re running Leopard and would like to upgrade to OS X El Capitan, first 
you’ll need to upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard. You can purchase OS X Snow Leopard
