Fixing the "find reply" arrow

All of the sudden Mail would no longer find the reply message when I clicked the little arrow that showed I had replied. No errors about not finding the message. (I get that on one account, no idea why.) Clicking just did nothing. Restarting mail did nothing. So I rebooted, and now the feature works again.
I thought only Windows PC's had to be rebooted.

Try a reset ..
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Where has the Mail Reply Arrow Gone?

    Running Mail 4.1 but have no reply/forward arrow on certain emails after answering/sending. Some are there, some are not. However, the answered mail is in my sent mailbox yet I have no arrow to click on to see how/if the mail was handled. Posted about this before but received no replies. Can anybody help?

    I have back, front and CD covers for the majority of my iTunes playlists. WHY WHY WHY Apple has somebody decide to get rid of the arrow in the iTunes artwork window to change the artwork? WHY WHY WHY has somebody also decided that you can no longer highlight all the album tracks and drag multiple pieces of artwork onto the artwork window?
    Like several aspects of Lion these are backward steps.Please show some respect to the massive amount of work that many of us have done on iTunes and leave things alone!
    Dave Jeffs - not sure what you mean about ctrl/click - that does nothing for me - am I missing something? It also doesn't rectify the problem of adding new multiple pieces of artwork to an album.

  • How to fix "Find..." in the Finder???

    Whenever I do a cmd F to find a file on my hard drive I get no results even though several results should be returned.
    It's the same if I go to the Find menu on my desktop menu bar and select the "Find..." option directly. It never finds anything, no results, no messages, even though I know files exist.
    As a test I created a folder name test, placed several files in it. While the window had focus, I did cmd F and entered various filename strings that should have been 'found' within the folder. But nothing.
    I'm actually not a fan of Spotlight since I never need to search within files, just for files themselves.
    Anyone know how to fix the "Find" in the Finder?

    Spotlight doesn't search inside any files, and neither does the FInder (unfortunately, the Finder uses Spotlight for all of it's searches). Metadata importers for common filetypes and various applications put entries into the Spotlight database (well, that is the theory anyway). The Spotlight database is what is used to find metadata such as filenames, so a damaged or corrupt database can cause problems. A couple of websites you can check for troubleshooting ideas:

  • If you don't get the 'Replied' arrow after sending?

    Does it mean there was a problem sending the email, if the grey, curved arrow doesn't appear next to the message you are replying to (even if the email then appears in your Sent folder)?
    Message was edited by: Steve P.

    I posted this in response to another matter: [*Little reply icon has stopped showing replies*|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11051794#11051794| Little reply icon has stopped showing replies]
    but think this is more likely to be my problem. \[NB: using Mail 3.6 (936) \]
    If I use the Reply button(s), compose the message and then Send it, the Reply is correctly linked to the original email with the 'little reply (arrow) icon'. I can later click on this icon to directly open its Reply.
    If however I Save the Reply (to Drafts) and later resume editing before Sending it, this thread linkage is (irritatingly) not made.
    It doesn't seem to matter whether I close the Reply composition window or not, Saving it still loses the linkage between the original email and the reply.
    As a result it becomes much more difficult to link up reply threads.
    This seems to have been a problem with various versions of Mail from at least OSX 10.5.6

  • Clicking curved reply arrow in status column produces blank message window

    I have a bunch of messages in an On My Mac mailbox for which clicking on the curved reply arrow in the status column opens a blank message window with the wrong title. Something has obviously gone wrong with the links.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Let it be recorded here that the solution is to quit Mail, remove the "Envelope Index" file from ~/Library/Mail, relaunch Mail and allow it to import all of your mail. The solutions posted elsewhere about rebuilding the sqlite3 database with the "vacuum" parameter aren't sufficient. I've also discovered that changing the return address associated with a particular mail account will break the links between messages and their replies.

  • Gray Reply Arrow Bug in AppleMail

    I use AppleMail to manage my email, and I route a Microsoft Exchange address through AppleMail. When I am in my inbox and reply to an email, Mail does not always put the small gray arrow next to my message to indicate that I've replied to it. The message sends, and I know the person on the other end gets the email, but Mail does not put the gray "reply" arrow next to the message. Sometimes it does do it, but 90% of the time it doesn't.
    This is pretty annoying, and causes me to forget which messages I've replied to or not. Anyone know how to correct this bug? Here is a screen shot to show what I mean:
    As you can see, it put the gray arrow next to one of the messages, but I've replied to all four, so there should be four of them.

    Yes, all the repies in question are from the Mail client on the Mac. When I use my iPad to respond to a message, it indicates on the iPad that I have replied, no problem. The lack of reply arrow only occurs when I reply to a message on my MacBook.
    I'm not sure which Exchange email server it is -- it is the service my university uses for student email, so if I had to guess I would say 2010 Exchange, but I don't know for sure/don't know how to check.

  • Where can I find little arrows and objects to display using an alerter?

    I need a little arrow to turn red or green depending on a value.  I can make the alerter work but not find a convenient way to put the find little arrow to put in the cell to display.

    Hi Roguefem,
    You need to have images stored in boimg directory (normally C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\images).
    You can put it in image from url section on the format section. So for an up and down image your will need 2 separate images.

  • 3.3mhz iMac, just had Maverick installed and as I tried to upload Pix, the finder went into a wheel of death and since that point, have lost the ability to even type on ANY applicat would not come out of it.. did utilities and have no idea what to do next

    Have a iMac 3.3 mhz, tried to upload pix to an app and Finder went into the wheel of death and would not come out.. When it "Got Lost" I also lost the ability to even type on the machine in ANY APPLICATION. Have run utilities, made repairs and still no typing/text. On Thurs or Friday (10/24 or 10/25) Maverick was installed so this may be a problem that it created. As it happens I didn't ask for Maverick. How do I fix the "Finder" on the machine if i can't even type on it??

  • Where can I find the update to fix the problem with the trackpad acting up?

    My trackpad has been acting up lately, with the arrow going everywhere by itself, and not being able to control it. I googled and found that it's a common problem for the 2011 Macbook Pros, and that Apple had released an update to fix the problem. Where can I find the update on the Apple site?

    If an update is available, it will appear when you select Apple menu > Software Update...
    But you should also read this support article:

  • After I have finished at a site and want to go back to the start page the "go back arrow" does not show the start page how can I fix this

    I am using Fire fox 3.6.15 which was updated on the March 6th.
    The Start Page will open and allow me to go to any site but when I want to return to the Start Page via the 'go back arrow' the Start Page is not listed.
    I am wondering if it is part of the new upgrade.

    It's actually not hard to fix. I had the same problem on my Bold 9700. You need to go to the main desktop on your Blackberry, and find the Messages icon (it looks like an envelope - same-looking icon as your email icon). Click on it, then scroll thru the messages. You'll find a message with same annoying little yellow circle icon, and the URL of the web site you tried to access when your Blackberry powered down. Click on the URL, and let your Blackberry load that web site. Voila! After that, the Browser Notification Icon will have disappeared.
    I wish that future versions of the Blackberry OS will alow you to click directly on the notification icon and get taken to the relevant app (as happens in Windows). As is stands, the notification icons are more annoying than useful.

  • I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work!  So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to easily, and when it does it can never connect?

    I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work!  So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to find wifi, and when it does find a wifi network it can never connect?  You think apple would have a clue how to fix it!  Because turning the wifi on and off doesn't work, resorting network settings doesn't work, even restoring phone to factory default doesn't work...

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • My desktop icons won't open but I can open them from the finder thru the dock; how can I fix this? I run 10.5.1

    I run 10.5.1 and I have been getting a blue screen on boot that takes forever before the screen icons pop up...then I can't open them by clicking on them even though I can do so thru the finder in the dock. Any ideas how to fix? I dumped a bunch of stuff my boot drive to free up space...I have aropund 130 out of 160 gig that's available.

    Go to your Applications folder where you have installed these applications that will not open. Right-click, or two-finger tap (if enabled) the application icon. Choose open, and the application will launch. This is a one-time deal, as afterwards, that specific application will launch normally.
    This is an Apple security mechanism. You can override this in System Preferences > General: Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere. However, it is not set to Anywhere to protect you, and even I do not leave Anywhere permanently enabled. Only for those apps that I know are not in the App Store, and already know have this open behavior.

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?

    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
    Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
    Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work. 
    The message:
    Finder quit unexpectedly.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
    I have no clue what to do...
    Any help?

    Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"?  Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.  If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.

  • How come my external hard drive is no longer visible in finder even after ticking it in preferences? it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help.

    it shows in the disk utilities but does not allow me to find a problem or fix the problem? Please help. also my external hard drive is a seagate free agent go, 500GB. it is visible on my tv but has no files in it… i'm scared i've lost everything?

    Honestly i cannot remember sorry, i got it like 5 maybe 6 yrs ago and just started downloading things to it as the memory on the computer started filling up and when i wanted to see photos/videos on my TV.
    My wife did tell me after i had written this post that she did try and record TV to it as it was plugged in. I think by doing so somehow has deleted everything.   It reads on my TV yet has no files in it but won't show up on my computer. hope this helps.
    Starting to think it is going to cost more to retrieve files on it than it will be to buy a newer and larger one.
