I use Apple Mail daily, and up until recently I could have images inside my mail by referencing an external source. However the external source has since become unavailable, so ideally I would like to embed the images into my mail signatures. I am pretty good with creating the signature in HTML and create the webarchive for it, however have no idea where to begin as far as embedding the images are concerned. Has anyone actually done this, or know of a very good resource that I can use to figure it out?

I want to use Mac Mail as my main email but I cannot create a signature that has images embedded. Each time I add an .jpg image (it is small in size, 250x124) it changes from what the image is into .JPEG logo instead. I tried dragging and dropping as well as straight copying into the Signature creator box, but each time, the image is just the JPG logo or the GIFF one dependent on the type of image I am adding. What am I doing wrong?

I need to download a banking form and email it back. After opening the PDF in macOS Preview, I attempt to sign it via Tools > Annotate > Signature This gives the error: > Without the owner password, you do not have permission to create or modify annotations in the document. > > Enter the password to unlock annotation of the document. How can I sign this PDF document? Adding an annotation seems like it should be controlled by the client, not the document itself. Can I force Preview to add an annotation? Can I somehow create an unlocked read/write copy of the document without this signature protection?

A follow on to this question about extracting the signature image . Is it possible to just copy the plist file containing the signature from one Mac to another? Is there a recommended method for exporting and import signatures from one Mac to another I should follow instead? I could "sign" a blank PDF and take a screen shot of it but but I really want the same password to go along with the image so it's 100% the same signature on the other Mac as the one I'm using on this Mac.

I added my logo in Gmail signature like so: it renders perfectly crystal clear, before sent, and after arrived on the other end. I send it to myself and opened it on my MacBook, it looks perfect as is. See below: Then I copied that ***exact*** signature to **Mail > Preferences**, save it, quit **Mail** App, and tried to send it out. It blows up so huge... How do I **solve** this issue? does anyone else face this issue ? ____ I've tried to resize that logo to 100 x 50 px, but it makes my image very **pixelated**. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When I try to create a signature, Camera and iPhone are available to create a signature, but the Trackpad button is not active. How can I get my trackpad to work as a caputure device?

I was used to edit mail signature files in mac os but since Sonoma apple mail keeps overwriting the files althought i locked them. I changed the file on disked with bb-edit after having closed mail en unlocked the file using info-window. Locked the file again after modifying. Checking file afterwards everything okay. But after opening Apple Mail the previous version shows up and the mailsignature-file gets 'updated'. So, how can I edit signature files outside of Mail?

It's been a while since I've needed to connect to a server via SSH. When I tried to connect today, Little Snitch gave me this warning: > The program "ssh" has been modified > > Previously, the program had the identifier "com.apple.openssh", but > now it's "com.apple.ssh". This probably means that Apple decided to > rename the process. But please inspect the names! If a process has > been replaced with a script interpreter such as Python, its rules may > be hijacked by a script virus. And this is probably nothing, but looking at the binary in a code editor, I noticed the first 8 characters say "cafe babe". Strange, right? I couldn't find any info about it online, so I installed openssh via Homebrew. But when I run that, Little Snitch warns that the process has no signature. Anyway, I checked the signature on the Apple binary using codesign -db --verbose=4 /usr/bin/ssh, but I can't find anything online to compare the output against. **So how can I be sure this binary is legit before allowing it to connect?** BTW, I'm running Ventura 13.1.

**TL;DR** I'm looking for a way to granularly control whether MacOS trusts a certificate for each individual purpose specified in the Basic Constraints (2.5.29.19), Key Usage (2.5.29.15), and Extended Key Usage (2.5.29.37) extensions. ---- Consider the following (example) certificate:

I would like to trust this certificate for the following purposes: - Securing connections to imaginaryorganization.example.com - Signing emails from and encrypting emails to imaginary@imaginaryorganization.example.com - Signing code but **not** for the following purposes: - **Acting as a certificate authority** (despite the fact that the certificate claims in the Basic Constraints extension that it is a certificate authority) - Time stamping - OCSP signing - CRL signing - Certificate signing **How can I accomplish this?** Keychain Access only gives a [very limited set of options](https://support.apple.com/guide/keychain-access/kyca11871/mac/14.0) for certificate trust settings. ### Bonus questions - Is there a way to trust a CA for signing S/MIME certificates but **not** for authenticating client-server connections (or vice versa)? - Is there a way to trust a CA for signing certificates only belonging to a certain domain or subdomain, or to a list of domains or subdomains?

I recently installed two certificates (for use in signing mail) on several iOS devices. Both certificates derive from the same trust chain and were purchased from the same vendor on the same day. The only difference between them is that they are associated with different e-mail addresses. Both work fine on OS X in Mac Mail. But when they are installed on iOS devices (using iPhone Configuration Utility after exporting to .p12 files from Keychain Access) one works fine while the other is flagged as "not trusted". What could account for this difference? --- Update: 5.1 does not fix this.

So many website wants me to draw my signature with the mouse, and it's horrible. So I want a program that moves the mouse cursor and traces my signature. The program would: 1. Ingest a JPEG of my signature. 2. Create a hot-key that, when pressed, 3. Has me rubber-band the rectangle for the signature area, then... 4. Move the mouse to follow the ingested signature with the mouse button down, making programs like DocuSign think that I'm actually singing my signature. Is there anything like that for the Mac or iPhone?

Since a few day, my HTML signature are gone on _Mail_. I used to edit manually the *.mailsignature files located in the ~/Library/Mail/V9/MailData/Signatures/ folder and locking them to prevent _Mail_ to override them. Unfortunately, since the last update, I can't select it with the combo box: Note that I can't select a signature created manually either.

I would like to put the signatures I had on an old Macbook that died onto my new Macbook Pro. I have a copy of Time Machine from my old Mac. Can I use that to transfer Preview signatures to new Macbook Pro? Thanks.

I recently bought a MacBook Air and I am not being able to capture a signature in a white sheet of paper with camera, as it was possible in previous machines and mac OS versions. Does someone have a hint on how to solve this?

I'm trying to add a logo in apple mail signature. The image is a small PNG. When I added to the the signature in preferences, it's fine. But when I visit that signature again (or) create a mail with that signature, the image magnifies while the retina resolution is gone. How to I stop it?

I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.6 19G2021 x86_64. I was trying to create a signature with Preview.app and the MacBook's built-in camera, when I clicked on Done button, the captured signature wasn't saved. I tried to restart Preview.app, reopen the document and open another document and it still didn't work. Is it a bug? What should I do? Thanks! Preview.app version from "About Preview":

I am trying to add a signature to the _Preview_ using ***Tools > Annotate > Signature > Manage Signatures*** I then click on _Create Signature_ Note that I need to use a camera-ready _picture_ of a handwritten signature - (not mouse created). So in the dialog I choose "Camera", then put the page with signature in front of the camera and click _Done_ But then the "new" signature is not created: the same single entry is still there (which I did years ago in a much older version of _macOS_). Why is a new signature not being created? I am on _Big Sur_. **Update** Here is what is in my _Keychain Access_

I used to be able to change the signature color in Preview. This is no more applicable. And the camera signature yeilds black and white signature. Is there anyways to either color the signature after having it in the Preview of import colored one?

I have a lot of signatures, since I like to include witty or insightful quotes at the end of my emails. I was adding them to Apple Mail today and once I get to about 30 or so the list of signatures starts to disappear, like so: I tried to work around this by looking for the plist to edit them, but Apple seems to have closed off ~/Library/Mail, even to the superuser. I know I can delete signature using the - button, and I can still add them using the + button, but I can't edit their names. How might I add more signatures & edit their names?

A signature of someone, who I've never heard of, appeared in the signature list of my Preview app. I have noticed that the signature is stored in keychain and can be found in the KeyChain Access app. I don't think I have login my Apple ID on other machines, so it's unlikely that it's synced via the iCloud. I have also checked the devices under my iCloud account, nothing suspicious. Maybe someone has touched my Macbook? But it's not very sensible for someone I don't know to sneak into my home just to create a signature using my password protected Macbook but did not do any other harm, at least to my knowledge, to my other belongings. What could be the possible reasons?
