    iOS Why does Apple treat developers differently yet say that they don't?

    Say developer A has a card game, and developer B has a card game ... How come developer A can add 6 + variations of the game but developer B cannot and is told to just have one? Example: I have a Forty Thieves Game and a Klondike game. Apple says it is spam and locks updates until resolved...

    iOS Apple says my app which predates the App Store is spam.

    I was happy with the App Store until today. My app from 2005 that has had it's features copied over and over by other more recent apps was rejected as spam, even though it came first. The app store arrived around 2007 but my app came out in 2005. The option to appeal was removed and I have...

    macOS Mail app "rules" question

    I created a "rule" in Mail app (v15) to have all my substack subscriptions go to a Substack folder on my iCloud mail. It's my only rule. The Active checkbox is checked. I log out of the Mac at the end of the day. When I arrive to work the next day, I log in, and notice there are 10-15 substack...

    Smart Playlists - Sort by Year?

    I've created smart playlists to group music from different decades (70s, 80s, 90s...). The rules for the playlists involve a date range (1990-1999). However, the music within these playlists are not sorted by year. They're all mixed up. I would like them to be sorted by year, ascending. Is there...

    What triggers email rules in the Mojave Mail app?

    I thought I had it figured out. I'd use my fastest/newest machine to filter out junk mail with some Rules, and I'll be danged, the rules aren't being triggered for some reason. Simple rules too. Yet, if I remote in to the 'rule mac', and right click and 'Apply Rules', the messages disappear...

    "Works for me"

    I have been seeing an influx with posts that say "Works for me" or something very similar. This has to be the most useless 'troubleshooting tip™' on the discussion boards. When people create a thread about a problem, they are looking for others who share the same problem. Useful feedback would...

    General when will default mail.app support custom rules?

    This is a much needed feature for those of us with multiple email accounts. I would like to have custom rules where we can customize how our emails get sorted. We have this on Mac OS and even on iCloud's website (although not as detailed as the mail.app on Mac OS). This feature hasn't even been...

    Will iCloud ever add advanced email rules?

    I've waited since 2011 for iCloud to add support for decent email processing rules to do the 2 things I used rules for: 1) Apply multiple conditions to the same email. i.e sender matches on of these criteria and subject matches one of these criteria . 2) Take multiple actions on the same email...

    MacOS 10.13 vs. Swipe Left Gesture in Mail App

    I hate Apple when they silently remove features I use every day - this time is the ability to change in Mail the Swipe Left Gesture. Up to version 10.12 I used the swipe left gesture to Archive. Not anymore... Also in Rules I don't have anymore access to the folders of my MS Exchange account to...

    I set up a Home automation geo location rule. i.e. when I get home, unlock door and turn on light. However, when I get close to home... an alert pops up and says... 'Do you want to run home automation?'. What is that about?? Why ask me... if it asks me... I might as well just open the app and...

    I've created a small cause that I'm hoping will gain some traction. At this point, I have no money for advertising, so for now I want to post my group's Facebook and/or Twitter pages when/wherever I am allowed to do so. I am aware that there is a no-soliciting rule that applies to signatures as...

    Mac Mail Rules won't work

    When I close a rule, instead of the screen showing 'Apply Rule', all options other than 'Add Rule' are greyed out. Every bad email is retuning a message 'Cannot move to trash', which is annoying. Can anybody help, please Daniel Roberts
