Hi, do you know how to sync flagged emails between mac and ipad/iphone? I mean, you can flag emails in either one, but they don't sync between each other, I would like to be able to see the flagged emails in my macbook also on the ipad. Any ideas? thx

Nikki White commented on 14 Dec 2014

Hi Sandra, it doesn't appear that you can. There seems to be a lot of people with the same request. Hopefully as they develop IOS 8, one of the upgrades may contain the flags in Mail syncing.

@FranceHopper But then that's going to make it harder to track. In snow leopard there was a pane to show what app was assigned in which space but in lion that is gone. Another flaw I think was when it came to minimized windows, because those windows wouldn't show in mission control. Lastly, I'm unsure what happens if you delete a space via mission control, and make a new space, as to what happens to the previously assigned apps. My viewpoints come from drbuk's demo of mission control video.

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

Don't know if anyone's been looking for this, if you miss Drag Lock (the double tap and hold to move windows around rather than the new three finger drag), it DOES still exist but the option has moved. Here's how to get back classic dragging: System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad > Trackpad Options > Check Dragging and select With Drag Lock. You're good to go. Also, you can now easily add custom text to your login screen. System Prefs > Security > General > Show Message

@Nanotech11 how is it more cumbersome? I dont own Lion either so im speaking from watching their keynote vids etc. Seems putting specific apps in a specific space is the same. click drag into the space. done. *shruggs shoulders* spaces and expose are both there..just that a new company called " mission control" took over managing them or ..so it would seem.lol. hopefuly that part of Lion won't turn out as retarded as MCI taking over SkyTel back in 2000. I speak from experience. Fu Ebbers

Nanotech11 commented on 21 Jul 2011

@chronofusion Oh don't listen to me then, since I don't have Lion. Ask someone who actually has it :P For me I just didn't like how they got rid of spaces and expose and replaced it with mission control. I saw a couple videos of it and I didn't like how it worked. I liked my spaces organized, one example is where I like to put specific apps in a specific space, and it seems like that Apple has made that process more cumbersome.

Nanotech11 commented on 21 Jul 2011

@FranceHopper Ah, I was wondering whether they will permanently lose their assignments. So say you had the fourth space open and assigned mail to it, then deleted the space/quit mail. Afterwards you make a new space and open up mail, will mail appear in the fourth space or will it open up in the current space? Thanks for answering my queries by the way.

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Nanotech11 You are right in that the list of space assignments is gone, which I agree does suck. As for minimized windows, as they go into the dock, they do show in Mission Control as the entire dock is in Mission Control. As far as deleting spaces go, the apps will move to the currently selected desktop and will loose their assignments.

Sean Washington commented on 22 Jul 2011

@ConorHarrington they made a lot of changes, so there are some growing pains. I've had issues with keyboard shortcuts and youtube HTML5 videos for example. It's the nature of key releases, with every new feature added creates a new chance for a glitch. I will say that for a first release, Lion is at the very least stable and still speedy.

Hey chris if you want to eliminate those annoying animations on Mail app only open Terminal and write: defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool YES if you want them back for some reason.. change YES for FALSE, and that's it I hope it helps you men!

Suze19085 commented on 24 Aug 2011

So true! What are they thinking?Thanks for helping me with the mail app. Am currently just trying to get the F12 & F11 keys to work for sound but for some reason I get the stop sign--or the circle the diagonal line through it.

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Century21CasaReal That's actually really easy. Press your Mac's power button to turn it on. Immediately hold down Option on the keyboard. Select Recovery HD. Wait for it to load, then select the option for Safari.

Nanotech11 commented on 21 Jul 2011

I must say I'm kind of disappointed in Lion, heard they got rid of that intro video (I was so looking forward to the new one), among other things. Hope I won't have to run it until it's 2-3 years down the road.

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Nanotech11 Actually, it's outrageously easy now. Make a space for what ever app(s) you want and launch or drag them to it. Right click their dock icons, select options, then Assign to this Desktop.

Casa Real Prop commented on 21 Jul 2011

Chris could you please show how can we boot to safari mode. Apple added a feature to boot to safari in sandbox mode. Just like Chrome books. Please teach us how to boot into it.THUMBS UP

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Ybtv09 Mission Control is a godsend for all the multitasking I do. It takes adjusting to, but once you have it figured out, it's actually hard to go back to the old Spaces and Exposé.

chronofusion commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Nanotech11 im confused..why are you disappointed in Lion? I haven't purchased it yet. but I just wanted to get a few realistic hands on opinions of others before making my decision.

Terrell Clark commented on 21 Jul 2011

I love the new mail just like it is. i have been using it for a couple months now on lion. what I wanna know is, what do you like about lion? so far all i've heard are dislikes lol.

felipe367 commented on 09 Oct 2011

guys, i remember in snow leopard, i had the nice ability to BOUNCE emails back to the sender,its seems i can't do this no more in Lion?? (using the mail app) Help me out here folks.

LadyDeutza commented on 26 Jul 2011

Wow, I've been waiting forever for the new 3 panel view, been using the 3rd party utilities to make it happen. I'm so happy, I can't understand why anyone likes the "classic" view.

J Ryan commented on 23 Jul 2011

I personally love the new interface. It looked great before. It looks better now. I lol at all the suckers who paid for FaceTime however when it comes for free with Lion.

I love Chris "Pirinfo"! He has helped me soo much, as well as kept me entertained at the same time. Keep up your great sense of humor!

Stephen Weber commented on 21 Jul 2011

@Nanotech11 Quitting mail without deleting the space will not make it lose assignment. Deleting the space however will.

Shan Ahmed commented on 10 Dec 2011

Screenshots please. Less talking. Less Chris. Less cute. Less time. More concrete well conveyed info, please.

I love your videos Chris, but I find it funny how it takes a minute to plug all your contact info at the end.

thespiralstopmotion commented on 21 Jul 2011

lockergnome do you like Lion so far because in your videos you dont sound so happy about lion so far.

Doesn't function on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) with Hotmail configuration. Only gives me the option "mark as unread".. Ideas, anybody?

Strider commented on 08 Dec 2011

@N8Ryder That's exactly what I've been looking for too. Apple really needs to add the ability to mark all messages...

N8Ryder commented on 22 Oct 2011

Is there still no way to select mass emails at once with one click so you can delete all or mark all etc?

tokoy19 commented on 27 Oct 2011

When I hit tap "mark" it only gives me the option to "Mark as Unread" ....
