Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

  • Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Hello richard from Folsom:
    Are you inside or outside?  (  I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
    Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
    If you want it, buy it.  The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious).  The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.

  • Massive problem with new Wirless iMac keyboards

    Does anyone else have a problem with the new differentiation between wired and wireless keyboard? I assumed they would be the same, but have just seen that the bluetooth keyboards do not have a number pad on them.
    For the way I use a computer I prefer wireless keyboards, but I am a composer and use Sibelius nearly every day, which is the main software for the music publication industry. This program NEEDS the number pad to function, which completely rules out the new wireless keyboards. So, if I get a new iMac, I will buy the wired keyboard, throw it in the bin, and then use the older white bluetooth keyboard from my iMac G5. This is a really poorly thought out design decision that did not work when they made those horrible small keyboards for the original CRT iMac, and are mostly unusable for Pro users for a variety of reasons.

    yea- the new wireless keyboard, being as perfect as it is, has one con, and thats not having the 10 key option. Ten key is a needed thing, but as stated before, the wireless keyboard was tested by folks who really wanted a smaller more compact like keyboard to move around more easier, and I guess apple took out the 10 key to give it more room, however, there is a need for the 10 key, however, I dont think apple saw that much of the interest or the need. I think it works in logic, but again, its the "small things" that get this new design in some trouble.

  • Game problem with new 17" iMac (got it 3 days ago)

    This has happened about 6 times now while playing the starcraft on my new 17" iMac computer. While playing all of a sudden the game will crash and give me a error message which says that due to a unknown error the application starcraft has been forced to close...I just bought this computer because I heard they are more reliable then PC's but what is going on, I really don't know where to post this question but the game requires the cd-rom to be in the drive to play it so I don't know if it is a cd-rom problem or problem with the actual computer...please help me out here.
    System information:
    Hard Drive - 500gb
    Ram - 2 gb
    Processor - dual core 2.16
    CD Drive - Superdrive
    if you need to know anything else just let me now.

    Theorectically, it should run as long as it has been patched.
    From Blizzard's support site:
    At this time we have not announced plans to release a Universal Application update for our older titles to natively support Intel Macs. All existing titles that natively support Mac OS X (including StarCraft) will run on Intel-based Macs via the Rosetta binary translator included with Mac OS X.
    StarCraft will require the Mac OS X Native Installer to install and play the game on an Intel-based Macintosh computer. Recent shipments of StarCraft include a Mac OS X Native Installer on the installation disc. However, players without a Native Installer on their installation disc may need to download the installer from our Patch Installation web page.
    At this time there is no Carbon version of the StarEdit (StarCraft Campaign Editor) application, and there are currently no plans to create one. StarEdit will not run on an Intel-based Mac as a result since the Classic environment is not supported under Mac OS X.
    StarCraft patches (including the game and Mac OS X native one) can be found here:
    http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msc0411p
    There are also special instructions available there. I don't play StarCraft so I can't guarantee success but this is your best bet for now. Good luck.

  • Problems with Bootcamp and windows 7 graphic driver

    So I installed windows 7 ultimate on my 24" Imac 2.93GHZ with a Nvida GT 120.
    I installed the boot camp software on windows, which installed the graphics driver and everything.
    Anyway so I downloaded Dungeons and Dragons online cause I wanted to see how the performance is.
    When I run it, it says no sutible graphics drivers were found, check to see if your system meets the requirements.
    Which it does, the game is quite old and could run on a old Geforce 6600.
    So I went to Nvidia to look for the driver, I thought I found the right one, downloaded it, but it didn't work saying that I didn't have the card. Am I supossed to download the mobile version of this driver?
    Thanks!

    Fixed it, just needed to upgrade my bootcamp.

  • Display problems with new Retina 5k iMac

    Hello
    I have just bought and started for the first time my iMac retina 5k. Initially the monitor looked great and i was really impressed.
    I have just come back after stepping away for a few minutes and the monitor display seems stretched or skewed horizontally. This is happening on the home screen, webpages and even photos.
    I don't believe i changed anything to have this effect and now whatever I do in the displays set up in system preferences it remains unchanged.
    Can someone advise me please

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with the issue. BTW, you can return it the first 14 days with no questions asked.

  • Multiple problems with new x476DW

    Hi, My company recently purchased this printer to replace an Epson Workforce Pro.  It is our only printer and we have around 50 staff on Win8 laptops. We have had daily issues ever since installation including: - Printer shows as offline for some (but not all) users when it is online- Users unable to connect to it when installing software- Often (but not always) and extremely long wait for documents to start printing (up to several minutes)- Documents sitting in print queue indefinitely- Error messages displayed to user saying documents could not be printed even though print has completed successfully- Takes minutes to spool print jobs of PDFs containing scanned images of a MB or two.  Larger scans will not print at all (I suspect because the software times out before the print job has finished)- Touch panel on printer freezes during use.  After this has happened the on-off button also hangs so printer has to be rebooted by switching off at wall socket All in all not a good experience.  We returned the first one in the hope that it must have been a one-off faulty item and that a new product surely wouldn't be launched with so many problems.  However our new one is exactly the same. When it works, it's great.  The software is much nicer to use than the Epson, it is super-fast once it actually starts printing and the print quality is excellent.  I'd really like to keep it but I need to find out if HP is aware of these problems and if there is likely to be a firmware update to address them. The Epson was pretty flawless until the day when lots of the print nozzles suddenly blocked when it was 16 months old (still no idea why) and we discovered that the print head is unserviceable. Just for the record, I have tried repeatedly to call HP support but was unable to penetrate the voice recognition line of defence which apparently couldn't recognise the word 'printer'.  Hrrmph!

  • Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

    Hi there,
    this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
    I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
    Any suggestions?
    Best
    Rolf

    Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
    What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
    Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

  • Suddenly having multiple problems with new iTunes

    So my iTunes is all messed up and I don't know why.
    I recently was given a new PC from my parents, and one of the first things I did was to import my old music library (about 12000 songs on an external hard drive.) When I added the files I kept receiving an error saying that iTunes could not save the library and, sure enough, the next time I opened iTunes there was nothing there. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of itunes in case that was the problem, and after that I couldn't even get it to open, it would always give me a message saying that required files were missing. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled about 5 more times and had no luck.
    Most recently i decided to just plug in my iPod and see if my pc would recognize what files were missing on its own. Strangely enough, iTunes opened. Unfortunately it still is unable to save my library. It also says that it cannot read the files on my iPod and that I need to restore its settings, but I would hate to erase it (its a full 160G Classic) just to have itunes be unable to put any files back on it.
    If anyone has any idea what is wrong I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

    I should add that as of this morning iTunes appears to opening fine and reading my iPod (which is inexplicable because I haven't done anything with it since my 1st post.) iTunes still, however, will not save my library. I keep getting error message {-1450}. Also, every time i open iTunes, I am asked to agree to the user agreement, as if i had just downloaded the program.

  • Please Help - Multiple problems with new BB software update

    Hi -
    Re: new software upgrade to 6.0 bundle 2534 v6.0.0.570
    I have a BB Bold 9700, via Carphone Warehouse on O2 (UK).
    I just downloaded this software update in good faith, via the desktop manager. It has changed several things I did not wish to change, some of them without any explanation as to how to revert to what I had before.
    One thing it has done is duplicate all my calendar entries, using different email addresses as default calendar addresses. I never had this with the previous software. Also, I am having trouble entering a new calendar entry on a day where there is already an "all day" entry.
    I guess the more we rely on these little machines, the more we suffer when things go wrong. Does anyone have any clues as to what to do ? Carphone Warehouse could not help and accessing anyone at BB seems impossible.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    To reply to your responses, in order:
    Nothing -- I just discovered the problems and came here to....
    ... Express my frustrations (aka "throw a tantrum") and seek feedback from others who may be experiencing the same issues;
    Yes, I checked the wifi settings and nothing has visibly changed, and no, I haven't received ANY prompts from Apple about app upgrades -- and before you ask, yes, my iPad is registered with Apple with me as the owner;
    The decision to cut the power was one of the moronic moves that bother me, as it renders the device useless for the growing number of photographers looking to give Apple their MONEY to use it; and
    I should not have to reset the network settings just because Apple can't get the bugs out of an update before they issue it.

  • Multiple problems with Mail

    Here is the setup:
    iMac Intel running 10.4.8
    Mail 2.1.1
    seperate user accounts, each with their own email address
    email is valornet.com (local ISP), set up to download to Mail
    Multiple problems with one of the user accounts (not affecting the others):
    1. Multiple copies in the inbox of the same message. These are brand new, not a week old as some other threads have mentioned. When I go to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced I have already clicked the "Remove Now" button, also the "Remove copy from server..." is checked.
    2. Mail will not stop retrieving new mail. The circle thing next to the Inbox on the left just keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning...
    3. Cannot quit Mail. Have to go in Activity Monitor and Force Quit.
    4. My trash folder is gone.
    If anyone can help me clean up this mess, I would appreciate it.

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just
    permissions), as described here:

  • Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

    Hi, all!  I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell.  The script below does the following:
    1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
    2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
    3.  If a global folder, prompts for the name.  If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier.  I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
    is used differently later on in the script.
    4.  Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
    5.  Creates the folder.
    6.  Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
    7.  Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

    My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold.  Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
    First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder.  I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect.  Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
    into Powershell, they work as expected.  I've tried the following methods:
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    $FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
    $BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
    $BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
    In the second case, I get the following error message:
    Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."

    This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account.  I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error.  I've
    also tried the solutions given in this thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
    My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated."  I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
    the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
    My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
    As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
    again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
    get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
    $FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
    # Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
    $GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    # Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
    $GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
    $SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
    $Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
    $FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
    Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
    Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule.  It's been working fairly consistently.
    Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though. 

  • Multiple problems with PSE10 Organizer

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP with Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space. I have had multiple problems with Organizer since I started using it.
    When I first got PSE10, I imported 8 years of my photos into one catalog in Organizer. I'm not sure how many images were included in this catalog but from what I've read, there's no limit to the number of images that can be placed in a catalog.
    Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
    Catalog A
    Problem 1) People recognition didn't work. When I tried to find people for tagging, the feature didn't work. After researching the problem online, I found that others who had the same problem solved it by rebuilding the catalog a few hundred images at a time. I deleted the original catalog with all of my images and created a new catalog with just 800 images from this year. Then, people recognition worked, and I was able to tag people. The only other feature that I have used in Catalog A is that I have edited a few images to improve exposure. I have not rated images, stacked them, renamed them or created albums. With this catalog, the Organizer and the Editor still work together so when I select a photo in Organizer to fix, the Editor opens up with the photo for editing like it is supposed to do.
    Catalog B
    I created another catalog that had about 900 different images from a European tour. I deleted some of those images so there are now 760 images in this catalog. At first, all the Organizer features seemed to work fine in this catalog. I was able to pull photos from Organizer to fix in the Editor. I rated all the images, stacked and renamed some photos and created several albums under an album category.
    Problem 2) A couple of days ago, the Organizer and the Editor stopped working together. Now, when I select a photo in Organizer and click on Fix, Edit, the Editor window comes up but the photo does not appear in Editor. The only way I can get an image into Editor is to pull it directly into Editor. Then, when I want to save it as a Version Set I have to choose File> Organize Open File in order to save the image as a version set.
    Question: How do I get the Organizer & Editor to work together again?
    Problem 3) The Exif data has disappeared on quite a few of the images in Catalog B even though the Complete radio button is highlighted under the Properties panel. Some of those images were never edited or re-saved.
    Question: How do I get the Exif data back into Properties.
    Problem 4) Yellow question marks continue to appear on the top left of some images even though these images have not been moved. The Organizer searches for the "missing file" and finds it quickly but why is it "missing"? I have gone through the albums in this catalog, completed the missing file searches on all the images so that no yellow question marks appear and when I go back to the catalog the next time I find the yellow question marks are there again!
    Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
    Problem 5) When I re-opened Catalog A with the general 2012 images, I got a message that my watched folder had new photos to import. When I clicked on ok, the next window brought up 3 photos that were already in Catalog B of my European tour that were taken in September. Somehow, the Date Created and the Dated modified had been changed from 9/12 to 11/12 so the Organizer thought they were new images when they were not.
    Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
    Both Catalogs
    All of the images in both catalogs show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of 6/12 and a date modified of 3/12).
    Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?

    Hey Paysonite,
    A lot of questions hmm!!! Let me try to answer few of them.
    Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
    Ans: No, you can import as many images in catalog you want. Just to add, as the size of catalog grows, Organizer's perfromance will be affected.
    Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
    Ans: As you mentioned in your comments, you have deleted some files (i assume from explorer). But these deleted files are still present in Organizer. Since the deletion happened outside the organizer, so Organizer is unaware of the deletion. So when organizer tries to read the files (which were deleted), Organizer is unable to find then and thus thinks that files are missing.
    Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
    Ans: Date created represents the date on which the files was created on your files system (or into OS). It is not date when the images was shot (actual shot date is Date time Original in Organizer).
    Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?
    Ans: A simple way to do it is-Suppose you have an image which was brought/copied on July (i am explaining this with the help of month only. Assume date to be 1st and year to 2012). Now change the system date to August. Edit this image in Editor (without creating a version set for easy illustration). Now date created is July and date modified is Aug.
    Copy this fine on flash drive/pen drive. Delete the original file from windows. Change the system date to Sept. Now copy the file in windows and see its properties. It has Date created as Sept and date modified as Aug, which answers you question.
    I am unable to fully understand your remaining questions. Please elaborate.
    Also please let me know if you need more info with above answers.

  • Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

    Hi,
    We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago.  However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba. 
    Problems:
    Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time.  Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes. 
    In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too.  It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
    In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files.  We are the only user account on this computer.  We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
    It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer.  Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer.  It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds.  HUGE nuisance.  We watch a lot of videos. 
    Minor issue:  In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com.  If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results.  On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine.  I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can. 
    I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work.  That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
    There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work.  Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once.  It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
    This isn't a problem - just a question.  Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary?  Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
    **CLARIFICATION:  It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.  The one that you have to pay for.  Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
    If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
    Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

    Yes, everything was fine with Firefox.  However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
    Thanks for battery info...
    I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop.  I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
    Thanks for the info.

Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
    As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
    Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
    I have the same model and it works just fine.

  • List of Problems with new Web Mail

    List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
    - At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
    - Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down.  It should show at least 26, preferably all available
    - After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
    - Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
    - There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to.  The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices.  The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear.  I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either.  I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7.  NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser.  Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
    - Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
    - Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear.  No time to read the error message either.
    - No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same.  Very unclear.
    - How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok?  I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
    This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff.  If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!  
    Thanks!

    The majority of websites are set up the same way for all browsers. It's the software manufacturers responsibility to make their software compatible with websites, not the other way around. Otherwise everyone who has a website will have to make 10 different sites to work multiple browsers.
    Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.
