Every time I start to compose a new mail message Mail Unexpectedly Quits!

This seems to be happening when Mail is auto-saving the draft for the 2nd time. Once I restart Mail I can then finish the message from the 1st saved draft (of course I have lost any changes between the time the 1st draft was saved and when I had to restart). When I then try to create another new message, Mail once again unexpectedly quits. It does not seem to matter if the new message I am creating is a reply, a forward or a completely new message Mail still crashes. This has only happened since I upgraded to Lion and it is of course very frustrating to be constantly having to restart Mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just did that and everything looked ok. I do notice however when I open up my calendar off to the left hand side where all the calendars are listed there is a triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle of it. When I clicked on it a window, just like the one that has been popping up, opens and it gives the same message. "server resoponded with an error" and it lists a various event and gives the choice to go offline, or revert to server. I have to choose go offline in order to get the window to close. Any idea what is happening?

Mail hiccup? 2 to 3 times a day don't receive new mail unless quit & reboot

Sometimes I won't receive new e-mail messages in my INBOX, my Treo tells me I have new mails. I have to quite mail to see new messages. I've heard this is a mproblem with mac mail, anybody know how to fix it?

I've been using the Mail.app for a very long time and I've never had this problem. Where have you heard this? This problem isn't reported here in large numbers if at all.
For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
What is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new messages?
Before quitting and relaunching Mail, have you checked if the account is offline which can occur when there is a problem communicating with the incoming mail server for an account which isn't necessarily a Mail.app problem.

Since latest update, every time I start up Firefox the "New Tab" button is gone and I need to re-add it from the "customise toolbar" menu.

I don't know if my settings are not being remembered or what, but the New Tab button is missing each time I open up Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

No solution I am afraid apart from what you have found. I occasionally have to completely re-install all of the apps as well. Same here, it happens after I reboot the system, if I keep it running then I am good.

It is beginning to drive me mad.

F this error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with 2 radio buttons "Ignore" or "reject" It comes up every time I start my new printer. How do I get rid of it?

When installing my new HP printer I received the following error message when I inserted the software install disk: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with 2 radio buttons "Ignore" or "reject" I was able to eject the disk but the message remains. Now every time I start up the printer this error message pops up on my computer. I have since used the disk drive successfully for music CD's etc. How can I get rid of this message?

PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Windows asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" every time I start Firefox.

Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

Every time I start Firefox it repeats the add-on compatibility check

I understand the need to check compatibility with newer versions of Firefox. But in my installation (FF4) , it performs this check EVERY time I start up Firefox, and - as the message says - it takes several minutes.
After this check, everything works fine, inclusive all my plug-ins
Previous versions did not have this problem.
I tried already setting all copmpatibility settings to false:
extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0 false
and so on
Is anything else casuing this check at startup of Firefox?

i had this problem too. in your C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\yourprofilename directory you will find a file called "user.js". i had upgraded from firefox 6.0.1 to 6.0.2, but for some reason this file did not get updated properly. using notepad i edited this file and changed all references to 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 instead (change your version number as appropriate of course). that fixed the problem for me.

Using DW CC... Win 7 : Every time I start DW, I get message telling me to 'switch to" or retry.

Its more of an annoyance than a problem. I'm using Windows 7 Professional on an Intel i7 950 with 16 Gbytes of RAM and a Gforce graphics card with 3072 MBytes of RAM. I'm using the full suite of CC apps.
Every time I start DW I get this error message to "switch to" or retry before it will start. It's got something to do with a browser (I've got 3) but only Chrome has any Adobe related add ons. I recall some time many years ago I got the same message starting Corel Draw or Photo Paint. Come to think of it, that was the reason I moved to Adobe in the first place.
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Well... Yes and no to fixing it.
I followed that link's instruction — altered for Dreamweaver and yes, it lit up cleanly as administrator but before ever it reached 'booted' stage it warned me I had 00 days of trial left and needed I to register it. OK I'm a paid up renter. I fed it my username and it finished booting only to tell me again, I had 00 days of trial left and needed to register it. I knew where this was leading before ever I entered my email and password for the second time but let it happen anyway.
Then I decided I'd continue with the instructions, log out of DW and re-start it normally. Opps! This application has already been registered on two other machines. CC Manager at it again. Another hour wasted fixing CC dramas. I rebooted the PC without any external drives connected, just the 4 internal drives. OK... Lets start DW and see what happens. I'll tell you firstly that I installed DW on this machine 6 months ago and promptly removed it. Why? Because I get quicker results using notepad++ and I needed to get a job done in a hurry. No time to try and get my head around Dreamweaver in the process.
Honestly speaking I didn't 'cancel' that installation. I didn't realize this antique process still existed. Anyway... I reinstalled it last month with some time now to 'get my head around it'. CC doesn't speak my language and hasn't yet learned that when you tell it to remove a program, it needs to remove the registration of it too! So I got the 00 days trial left garbage again. Only difference this time it told me both the original install and second install (on the same machine) were still registered but luckily (I won't say for who) There was an option to cancel all other installations. and yes... It loaded cleanly and faster than I can recall it ever had previously. Will it keep doing this? Is this mess going to happen ever few months?
I'm prepared to believe CC's shocking uninstall is to blame. At the best of times it is a messy process, leaving registry entries and files scattered all over my drives. NOT very nice for such a complex program manager. I used to be able to keep it under control with Revo but now CC manager wants to do it all I think it needs a bib or diaper to stop messing up my computer. If this happens again now that I've killed (renamed actually) the folders in the instructions to fix lightroom doing the same thing... I'll lodge a critical error ticket.
Incidentally... How come searching for this solution didn't show up the answer you pointed me to? Is the forum search bot flaky too?

Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install. It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer.
I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process. I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software. I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean. Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Here`s the screenshot.
But anyway:
The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

Is this normal every time I start up DW and a new site?

Every time I start DW it wants to update its location, when I first installed it I moved it to a different folder but only once. Is that normal? Also, when I start a new DW site it tells me that "the root folder you have chosen is inside the folder for site "other site name". This may cause some operations, such as synchronization, to work incorrectly. Proceed anyway?" It says this even though the file that I choose for it is alone on my desktop, not in another folder. Thanks for your help!

Normal. No.
Which operating system?
Which version of DW?
Do you have the latest updates for your product?
How have you defined your local site settings for Site A? And how for Site B?

Firefox opens the old browsing window (previous session) every time i try and open a new window, how do I change this back?

Every time I go to open a new window, the old one will come up instead. For a while it was working fine, then I kept needing the old window and would use the 'restore previous session' feature to access this. However, even after I didn't need it anymore (and without me selecting the feature, it would still open the previous session.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
