Editing text in Mail message act very strange since Mavericks

Hi,
i've updated to mavericks but since then when i'm editing text in Mail my cursor is placing the typed text in another part of sentence. Very annoying and frustrating. Anyone?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Editing text in mail

Editing text in mail is nearly impossible since upgrading to Mavericks. Cursor doesn't go where I want it to go and doesn't edit where it looks like it's going to edit. Anybody else have the same problem?

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone 5

I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone. The edit icon at the top of the inbox is there and when pressed I can select messages but can't go further - the icon to delete has disappeared and the message that was selected deselects itself.
I already tried to restore my iPhone, this didn't help.

I have iPhone 4S and have had the same problem since I upgraded to iOS 7. I could only send and receive from iPhones.
I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked.
I called AT&T this morning. Turns out, iOS 7 cancelled my text messaging plan!!!! I was able text to other iPhone users because of iMessage. They turned my texting plan back on and I can now text everyone again!!

Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting. However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete. However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash. Any ideas?

I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

This is detailed: I lost my touch pad scroll ability on my desktop when I installed Firefox, I am having a terrible time trying to sync my new Android tablet to my desktop, my desktop Firefox is acting very strangly (I need help trying to use it)

My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

Close out of the mail app. Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that. then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

IPad acting very strange and gets hot.

My iPad mini is acting very strange, Siri starts as normal, but repeats "Siri not available" about 25 times before working. The iPad is slow and gets very hot when on. When you type it takes a minute for the iPad to catch up even if you type slow. What could be wrong?

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Computer is acting very strange. Please help.

My computer has starter acting very strange. It has start to take ages to boot up, and it runs a progress bar on the grey apple screen (as if its was booting in safe mode, but its not). I cant seem to save any files with any Apps. When I try to save documents in office it tells me ether the file name or path doesn't exist, it is open by another program, or its read only. Office also keeps coming up with errors saying im out of memory. Other apps just come up with errors when I try and save files.
The last thing I did before my computer started acting up, was to increase the size of a Windows partition. Using Winclone I copied my Windows OS, then added the partition back to my mac, and re-partitioned it to a larger size. I formatted it into NTFS using Tuxera, and then used Winclone to put Windows back on. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and the Windows OS is fine.
Please Help!

Yes, iRadu is correct.
If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
DW is the only utility I would recommend to repair +Keys out of order+. It's a pretty serious error.
Do you have a good backup...one with no issues?

p.s. Here's a rewiew of DiskWarrior 4.

Caps lock button acting very strange.

I recently got a Lenovo T420 thinkpad. Everything has been great until earlier today I tried to log-in to buzzport ( a GT website) and when I hit the caps lock button all these weird things happened. Google Chrome went into full screen, and the "elements" thing came up. Im not sure exactly what it is, but it looks like some sort of HTML code for the website. oh and if it also enters the text "09" when caps lock is pressed. well anyways, now this happens everytime I press caps lock. I opened notepad and pressed caps lock. The result was "09" followed by an endless stream of 1's which continued until I pressed caps lock again. This is very strange and I couldn't find any information about this on google. I don't know what could have caused this, but its very frustrating because this is a brand new laptop. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
edit: so i've been playing with it, and im convinced that basically instead of just doing what caps lock does, it is pressing a series of other buttons as well including the 09, the 1's, and opening what i now know is called the elements pannel which normally opens with ctrl + shift + C. so in other words, for some reason pressing caps lock preses the buttons "09 ctrl + shift + C 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
edit 2: ok it just got weirder. I fixed the problem...sort of. I started thinking about everything i have done differently today. I mean ive only had the lap top for a few days after all. tonight is the first night i used the mute button. i unmuted the laptop, and now everything is fine. if i mute, then caps lock acts weird again. I could just always go to zero volume rather than mute, but just as a curiosity, why is this happening? it makes no sense!

I noticed that some problems don't seem to get attention. I am typing this using a bluetooth keyboard on top of my G4 PowerBook, which is hardly an elegant solution to my caps lock problem. If I spend close to $2000 on a laptop, which is close to the most I spend on any consumer product after a house and car, is it unreasonable to expect that after a mere four years, it can be repaired, rather than simply tossed aside. I am an expat living in a SE Asian country without any Apple Authorised resellers etc. When I make the trip to Thailand to get my machine fixed, I'd like to know that someone there will know what to do to sort this problem, without me being faced with the prospect of having to pay a lot of money to buy a new one or replace hardware that is not in fact needing replaced. That is why I posted on this forum. Was I mistaken in thinking that in the entire Mac using community, there isn't more than one other person having the same issue as me? Is anybody from Apple aware of this problem and do they have any idea how to fix it? I'm not seeking to be antagonistic here, I'd just like to think that somebody, somewhere out there has some idea, what has gone wrong with my PowerBook and can help me get it fixed.
p.s I sorted out the large fuzzy Apple on startup by zapping the PROM, so that doesn't seem to be directly connected to the game of green light tennis I can now play between my caps lock and num lock keys. (My caps lock key is permanently lit and when I try to turn it off, it reduces the volume of my speakers and "types" "rfr" and other such gobbledegook.)

Editing text in mail: text is being moved, jumps to and fro

Anybody the same experience? When editing text in the mail window, things go crazy often when I cut and paste parts of the text, most often I've seen this with complete paragraphs (i.e. hard return somewhere at the end).
Text is then inserted at completely different locations then where I paste the text. Often a paragraph before the actual point of insertion. Seems to be a serious flaw with the text handling in Mail. Colleagues have experienced the same issue.
Note: also the focus on windows in Mail sometimes messes up, when I click on the front window of e.g. an open message in mail, the Finder will move to the front instead of that message.
Work to be done boys (and girls)!

IPad acting very strange (HELP!)

Hi guys,
something very strange is happening to my iPad 2 and I'm hoping someone could help me out.
So my iPad was working fine few hours ago, and had approximately 50-60% battery left. So I put it to sleep by clicking on the power button on top right, and did my business. After few hours, I tried to turn on the screen as usual by clicking the power button but it won't turn on. So I tried long-clicking because I figured somehow it turned off, but it didn't register. I tried clicking the home button but nothing.
So I plugged in the charger (despite knowing there was battery left) and the iPad turned on as if it was completely turned off (and asking my passcode and stuff). When I put the passcode, it opens but the battery says 100%. When I unplug the charger, it goes dead again.
Even more weirdly, when I keep charger plugged, it stays awake for a minute then completely goes dead again. Then after few seconds, the apple logo comes up (as if rebooting) and turns on again. The cycle continues.
I did not drop it or anything, it was just sitting there, and it worked perfectly fine up until now. I'm very confused why it's acting this way.
Is this hardware malfunction, plain and simple? Should I take it to the apple store and have them fix it or replace it?

update:
not sure if this is relevant but I turned on my ipad's icloud so i can move my camera roll to photostream (of course ipad still won't work without being plugged).
Soon after, i got a message on ipad screen saying:
"verification failed.
the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be setup.icloud.com which could put your confidential info at risk"
Is it possible that my iPad was somehow hacked?

Using AppleScript to find specific text in mail message?

I'm new to scripting, and I'm a bit lost on this one...
Is there any way to use AppleScript to find a file name from within the body of a mail message so it can be used later in the script?
Specifically, I want to use AppleScript to "read" the content of a mail message and look for a paragraph that says "Filename: MyFileName" so I can set "MyFileName" as a variable. (There will always be a paragraph that begins with "Filename: " in this particular email message.)
This will part of a larger script that uses Fetch to download "MyFileName" from our FTP server.
Thanks in advance for any ideas - I'm struggling with this one.

Ok, red_menace above me had a shorter and more elegant solution to the question, I'm adding this just for another example.
To solve your problem I'd make a mail rule that looked for any messages with "Filename:" in them (along with whatever criteria you wanted, like sender, domain, etc). The mail rule would execute the Applescript. My assumption is that the "Filename:foobar" text could be anywhere in the email, not necessarily the first thing in a paragraph, so I had to parse it differently.
The results end up in a datalist, (theFilename {} ) that you can parse later to collect all filenames found in whatever messages were processed.
I realize this could be cleaner, hope it's not hard to follow, but I did it really fast. It works flawlessly for me, picking out the name of the file no matter where in the email it appears.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theSelectedMessages for rule theRule
repeat with aCounter from 1 to count theSelectedMessages
set theMessage to item aCounter of theSelectedMessages

How do I format the text in mail messages?

I receive some mail messages that extend well beyond the screen and I have to scroll a long ways to finish reading one line. Is there any way to format the mail to automatically fold these long lines so that i can read them without so much scrolling?
Thanks for any help.

Copy paste the content of the message to Textwrangler from http://www.barebones.com/
Then use its word-wrap options.

My mail messages have not updated since Sunday and Safari is not opening--any suggestions?

On my iPad 2, my mail messages have not updated for 2 days and Safari won't open.

TThanks Meg-when I got through to Apple tech support, that's exactly what they had me do, but It still had to go further. In Settings I hit Delete Account (very unnerving), watched my messages disappear, then hit Add Account, re-entered my account info, and everything came back, including updating my messages. Success! Safari started too.
Thanks!
