How come sometimes I cannot write text in a blank message box, nor can I write text opening an email and hiting forward and then wanting to add a short text note. I've notice this happens sporatically. What gives?

I tried to reply to an email and could not write a reply in the response box. I could not even attach a file. So I tried opening a new message box and I still could not compose a message. It appears there is an error the coding. Please fix it a soon as possible. This happens to be my lifeline.
Many Thanks!

Thank you very much for the response Jason and I am sorry for the late reply but as usual life got in the way.
I ended up doing some more experimentation and I did fix the bug you pointed out. When this didn't solve the problem I started to look at other files. It turned out that my .bash_aliases file was the real culprit. The offending line was:
alias su='su -l | cd ~/' # invokes a login shell then changes to root's home directory
I fixed the issue by changing that line to read:
alias su='su -l ' # invokes a login shell then changes to root's home directory
As always thank you for the help,

That can sometimes be produced by real-time back-up utilities/services interfering with writes to the iTunes library files.
Are you using a real-time backup? (Carbonite, Mozy, Black Blaze?)

Hey High Socks,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

For the last 3 months only, I am unable to complete my online payments on your website. I get as far as method of payment, check the box, and click next. Then nothing happens. What gives. I have to then pay by phone. Just frustrating.

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it?

How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it instead?
The update bar on the app gets stuck on empty and then the next time I sync the app gets deleted.
It is really annoying to lose all my data when updating an app, and it has happend more than once!
Any idea why it does this? I am scared to update my favorite apps for fear that they could be deleted.
-Sam

I never had an app being deleted. You can always udate the app on the computer and then sync.

I have a 2 different .me e-mail accounts I was able to use one in my new mac but I can't create the other. Why is this happening? What can I do to enable de second one.

Hi, my wife has 2 different .me e-mail accounts. She uses one of them on her old mac-mini, that account was .mac and then updated to .me, and so she sends and gets mail there. Now she a new mac mini and she is using her second .me account on the new mac but when I try to open (create) other it won't let me. In other words she wants both of the accounts to be on the same computer (the new mac mini) since she wants to to sell the old one. I don't have much experience with Mac and all this ID thing has me confused. Why is this happening? What can I do to enable de second mail account on the same computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

Also if you're running any anti-virus SW, you might try temporarily disabling it

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

Oops, I needed to update my profile. I have snow leopard now

Hi KevinMcL,
Thank you for contacting support. I am also using your set up and I experience video issues when I have hardware acceleration turned on.
Other steps you can take to improve your experience:
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
