Can't find "Quote Original" button for Reply to a Post

When I went to reply to a post I wanted to use the same quoting format that I saw others had used. So I went to "Help & Terms of Use" to learn how to do this. The info given is: "If you want to quote specific text from the original message, click Quote Original to add all the text from the original message to the Message box." I could see no such button. So I replied without using the desired format and at the same time asked the person I was replying to about this. That person's reply back was: There's a '"' icon in the compose window when you type a reply. If I'm doing a lot of quotes (as I did here) I use that, then edit out the bits I don't want. Otherwise I copy and paste the text and add a > before the line to get it to appear in the special format.
I'm still mystified! I see no such button, icon or anything about "Quote Original" in the "Reply", "Compose" window. I also tried adding a > before the line, but nothing happened.
I was originally attempting this using the Firefox browser. To make sure the problem was not a Firefox glitch, I switched to Safari, with the same result.
How is "Quote Original" done? Where is that button?
Thanks in advance

It isn't there if you're in the Preview tab. Click the " once to get it to insert the text.

Thanks, Limnos (again!!). I wonder why the Help info doesn't just say what you now did. .... Click on the " in the formatting panel just above the compose window (rather than click on "Quote Original").
I do though feel a little stupid for not having clicked on everything that could possibly be clicked on. I'm now wondering what I was thinking those " marks could possibly be for since I do have the " key on my keyboard if I want to quote a phrase that I'm typing. I just was thinking that all those formatting items are for the typing of my reply and I didn't hold my cursor over each for the info box to appear. Oh well, thankfully, all my present posts are now solved. Thanks to you again Limnos.

  • Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath.  Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.

  • Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

    Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
    I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
    It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
    So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
    I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
    I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

  • HT2534 how can I find the none button for payment method on mac?

    I'm a student. I have some problem with payment method. I don't have credit card. I can't find the none button to choose and I don't know how to do to get this button . This is my first time creating apple ID.

    Unless you used the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating the account then you won't get the 'none' option - if you don't use those instructions then credit card details will need to be entered before an account can be used in the stores.
    Steps to create a new account with 'none' as the payment option : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24321860#24321860
    If you want to use the same email address on a new account then you can change it on the one that you've already created by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your Mac's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • Where can I find the "Group button" for layers? Element 8

    So Im trying to find the button to group a layer but I can't.
    Any idea where I can find it?

    That's being a bit pedantic, I think. In all previous versions of PSE the function was called grouping. Just because adobe decided to change its name doesn't mean the function isn't there anymore. I have to say I find this tendency of Adobe to cal something one thing and then call it something else and assign the original name to a different function HUGELY annoying, as do all the PS and PSE instructors I've ever met.

  • Where can I find an original battery for Macbook 13" late 2008 (aluminium)

    Hi everyone!
    I have serious problems with my battery, I've tried to purchase an original new one on the online store, but it's not longer available. I want to know if you can tell me which brand is the best?
    I'm in Mexico CIty, so I can puchase it by Amazon.com

    You may not be able to get it from the online store, but you should be able to get one from an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP.) They have access to replacement parts that are not shown in the Store. You should be able to search for AASPs on the service and support site.

  • HT4600 where can I find the WPS button on Time Capsule (for connecting to a Canon printer)?

    I can´t find the WPS button for connecting to a Canon printer wireless. Somebody who can help me?

    There is no WPS button on the Time Capsule.
    You might be able to get the printer to connect using the following method:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Base Station menu at the very top of the computer screen. Do not click the Base Station tab in the center of the screen.
    Click Add Printer and then select the First Attempt method, then click Continue
    The Time Capsule will search for you printer. If it finds it, click Done
    If this method does not work for your pinter, you will need to follow the manufacturer's instructions for manually connecting the printer to the wireless network.

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.

  • I created a 2nd library for my husbands music and now I can't find my original library. I did hold down the shift key to open itunes but is still comes up with the new library. What am I doing wrong? I tried several times with no luck. Thank you.

    I just got an Ipod Classic recently and downloaded Itunes. Got my music on my Ipod. My husband just got an Ipod Touch. I followed the directions on how to create a 2nd library and was able to load his music onto his Ipod. My problem is now I can not find my original library. I did what the directions said about holding down the shift key while opening Itunes and it still goes to the 2nd library that I created. How do i get my original library to come up? I tried several times with the same results. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to get into either library. Thank You.

    Does the original library file still exist on the computer?  Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

    I can't sync the songs from my computer to my ipod touch. I have gone through the directions on the iPond help page and have not found them helpful. For example, I can't find the autofill button. Can you help?

    I have already tried following those steps. I went back and tried to follow them again but they did not work. Some of my songs have synced, some have not. And I am still not seeing the Autofill icon on the bottom of the menu or anywhere else. I fear something has been corrupted here and I need to start afresh.
