Can't forward/reply or write/send an email. Can open and read but that is all. Can't close that page. Have to shut down and start over. Frustrating!

If I want to forward an email, I hit forward, type in the name, tab to start writing something and am unable to do so. The page is outlined with tiny dots (as if it were perforated). When I try to close it down, a small box appears asking if I want to --Discard - Save as a Draft - Continue Writing -- It makes no difference which one I click on, none work. I have to close completely and open my email to continue reading my emails but that is all I can do.
If I use Chrome as my browser, everything works fine. However, I like Firefox (other than your recent support of gay/lesbians - which is why my husband quit using Firefox and maybe I will too, now!)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I can't close a window unless I shut down the computer. I get a javascript error box.

    Two windows have jammed. Every time I go to close them, they throw up a long dialogue box saying "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" next to a blue question mark.
    Underneath that it says " JavaScript Error!"
    "Press ESC to close this alert!"
    When I escape, the windows are still there and I can't close them.
    I've tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling and they are still there.
    Is this just a glitch or am I infected?
    I prefer to keep version 3.6.3 because I use Realplayer Browser Record Plugin and later versions don't seem to accept it.
    Thanks

    You can disable [[JavaScript]] temporarily and close those tabs or windows.

  • Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • Have new iMac osx 2.5 intel and a few times now when in mail it starts to lag, rainbow spins and things go awry. Have to shut down and reboot to get it back to normal. Also a sender rang to say his email to me had been opened 140 times.....whats that???!!

    Have new imac 2.5 mid 2011 OS X and macmail has a few times started to lag.....slow to accept writing and the rainbow spins and seems to stop it. have to shut down to get it back to normal. Very frustrating when in the middle of a message. Any ideas whats wrong ....whats happening...how to fix...Also a sender rang me to see if I forwarded their email on, and said that particular email had been opened 140 times.......I did not send on....any ideas about that one also.
    Cheers Rhonda

    Rhonda you Force Quit and app by click the Apple symbol in the upper left and selecting Force Quit... and then select the app that isn't responding and Force Quit it.
    I'm not sure what is wrong with your Mail system but I'd recommend starting over with it. You can find out how in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc... If you still have trouble then contact AppleCare,  you have 90 days of free phone service with AppleCare......why not use it?

  • Using launchd to send an email on startup and shutdown

    Hello All !
    I'd like to get an email whenever my Mac starts up and shuts down, since I have to leave it unattended for quite some long periods of time (and even with the help of a UPS, power goes out anyway...). My Mac runs under Mac OS X Lion.
    I found some help on the Internet, mainly from this page : http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2009/06/email-on-shutdown-and-restart/ , which applies to Linux, and hoped it could work on Mac OS X (I thought at first I could just drop a script in something like /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d but well... we have launchd instead...).
    The first method listed in the page above worked well, but sends an email only on startup (for a reminder: you add a line that starts with @reboot in your crontab, and a command that sends directly an email).
    I then tried to adapt the second method to Mac OS X, and succeeded partially: I wrote a small script based on what was shown on that page (a start and stop function, start gets called when the script is started, and stop gets called based on a trap on various kill signals, with an infinite wait loop: see below). I also wrote the plist file, loaded it in launchd and rebooted my Mac several times to test everything.
    I get an email on each startup (yeah!), but the shutdown mail gets sent only at the next startup. So I guess that postfix gets killed by the shutdown process *before* being able to send my shutdown email :-(
    So here are my main questions, if someone can help me:
    1. is there a way to precisely call a script during the shutdown process, meaning giving it a priority so it gets called before postfix dies ? (like the rc directories and the naming conventions (KnnScriptName and SnnScriptName) found on some Linux/Unix).
    2. is it possible to do that with launchd ? if not, what would be the Mac OS X sanctionned way of doing this ?
    Other things:
    3. my shell script writing ability is kind of rusty, so maybe I made some "very bad shell writingTM": l'm not sure putting an infinite while loop with a 15 second pause in it is the best way of telling a script to do nothing. There might other things in there that would make an Unix guru jump out of his chair: please tell me :-)
    This is my plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
    <plist version=“1.0”>
    <dict>

    <false/>

    <string>start</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key><true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    And this is the script that does the job:
    #!/bin/bash
    # PHL 20120604 startshutemail-launchd.sh
    # Send an email on startup and shutdown (version for launchd)

    Thanks a lot for your answer, Camelot, even if it sorts of confirm what I suspected. Pinging a machine from an external observer is a solution, but it will also report broken links problems and not only a computer shutting down, and it raises the next tier of problems, general network reliability after individual system reliability. It's something I'll have to look at for sure.
    It's weird there isn't any way to access the way the shutdown process works.
    One of the commenters (#14) on the page from Syntaxtechnology had a similar problem: he added a "sendmail -q" in his script to force sendmail to go to work and service the queue before shutting down, which I can try, but he also added a delay to the stop process of sendmail, which is something I'm not sure I can do on Mac OS X (and that might disappear one day with one of the OS updates).
    Unless there is a way to change the launchd.plist file for postfix and add an ExitTimeOut option in it (I found this idea here : https://discussions.apple.com/message/17229690#17229690 )
    Cheers,

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • I set up time capsule using a wireless 4g modem.  it's been five hours and it still is saying making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB).  Can I stop the whole thing, get a ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

    I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem.  I started the initial backup.  It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)."  Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

    oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
    If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
    I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
    suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
    Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
    Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
    If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983

  • After an automatic update yesterday, I can only print email (Outlook Express 6) headers but the messages do not print. I now have Firefox 3.6.22.

    After an automatic update recently, I can only print email (Outlook Express 6) headers but the messages do not print. I now have Firefox 3.6.22.

    Thanks John for the suggestion.  I was finally able to dwonload the newest drivers today when I signed on.  Seems like if you let one day go by Software Update will look at your version of the driver and will finally let you download the newest.  That did not help.  Nothing but communication errors.  It would not even let me load the the new driver as it would no longer ever see the printer.
    Yesterday, for further explanation, I was working at the computer when I heard the printer chime a few times.  When I looked over the green light, which normally signals it is receiving a file to print, was flashing away.  I was doing nothing and I finally had to turn it off.  I spoke with another techie friend who is a big Mac user and has the same printer and he suggested it may be the USB circuit.  This printer has been on for 5 years with a few days off.  We have concluded the circuits are past their useful life and I will soon send the printer to be recycled somewhere.  A new printer is on the way as I need this device.
    Again, thank you for your suggestion and I will mark this solved due to mechanical failure.

  • How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

    How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

    Did you try using 'mute' in the System Preferences> Sound> output>
    control panel? This usually will mute the startup sound; you may have
    to try a few things to be sure only the startup will mute, not all sounds.
    Of course, you could likely write an apple script in automator or in
    text edit, that could automatically mute before shutdown and then
    in startup items, have the script un-mute the audio for everything.
    There are possibilities that do not include the command line; but
    if you learn how to use that, without messing up other functions,
    then even more custom control is possible in Mac OS X.
    With that, you could write a substitute 'sound file' with white noise
    or nothing in there; so instead of Bong, it'd be as quiet as a mouse.
    PS: You may have a local reason why the site link posted above
    does not work for you, but it does function and if the product is
    free to use, and does not include adware or malware, here is an
    untested download link from their site. (I can go there, easily.)
    http://www.allvu.com/index.php/sndownloadpage.html
    and note:
    http://www.allvu.com/downloads/StartNinjaInstaller.dmg is the
    actual DL link for this product. Mouse over the buttons to see it.
    (The other downloads are highly suspect; even this one is to me)
    There may be a reason in your Mac OS X 10.9.x for gatekeeper
    to not allow odd download installations, there is a way around
    that feature, but I do not recommend using unknown software.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
    If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

    If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues. 
    Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

    OK, I just click the "cloud" in my itunes account and re-synced my ipod nano and I now have the songs I bought, this was really a stupid venture. But I am now enjoying my purchases on my ipod. SORRY TO HAVE TAKEN UP THE SPACE
