Flashing Typing Cursor out of position when typing in mac mail.

Just recently when I type in mac mail and go back in to edit a bit of text already written the cursor is mis aligned.
The cursor is 1 to 2 characters out.
In other words if I try to put my cursor at the end of a word the cursor is 1 to 2 character to the left, becomes very awkward when moving around using arrow keys.
Any ideas?

Hi trentfromsa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the cursor in Mail is not behaving as you would expect. To troubleshoot, I would first suggest forcing the Mail application to quit and test the cursor after opening Mail fresh.

When I open mac mail, it opens 1000 emails in separate windows. Emails that are not even in my account anymore. Can anyone help?

You should post in the Mail forum area of whichever os is installed on your computer.

Website Built with Adobe Muse: Item jumped out of position when view in browser

I created a website in Muse and I am experiencing a strange formatting issue. Take a look at this page:
http://www.barriestjohnconstruction.com/services.html
All of the other pages on this site were created in the same way and layered the same way. The only thing I can see that is different is that there are 2 text blocks side by side, but why would that make a different?
Got any ideas why this would be happening? Has this happened in Muse to anyone else?

I figured out what was wrong. Somehow the items that were moving had the footer box checked. I did not check it, but the problem has been solved!

HT2500 how do i log out of my email account in mac mail?

hi,
i am giving my old mac away and want to log out of my email account before i do so, but can't find the way to do it.
help?

You can just remove the account from Mail in Preferences>Accounts. However you would be advised to erase the entire hard disk and reinstall the system from the disks the Mac came with (which you must include with it when you pass it on). This will remove all your personal data, and also any additional software you bought (which the recipient has no right to use).

Mac Mail slows other apps when first opened...

When I open Mac Mail on OS 10.4 it seems to hog the process time and other apps are affected. I do have about 7 e-mail accounts that I have connection to, like gmail, office mail, etc.
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It shouldn't hog 100% of the process time but with 7 email accounts and if each account is set up to be automatically checked for new mail, the incoming mail server is checked for each account, the spam filter checks each received message along with any other rules created in Mail including sorting for any Smart Mailboxes. If any of the 7 email accounts is an IMAP type account, all server stored messages/mailboxes are also synchronized with the server so quite a bit of activity is going on with the Mail.app when first launched over and above the activity when launched and running.
Do you quit and re-launch the Mail.app often during a normal work day? I generally keep the Mail.app launched and running 24/7 so I haven't noticed the same.

Mac Mail attributes grayed out - unavailable

I've been trying to alter the display for mail in my new Macbook Air to display whether or not it has attachments and find that mail attributes for all my mail folders are grayed out, except for date and folder. How can I get those attributes back? Why are they grayed out in the new version of Mac Mail?

Try this work around.
Open Mail, not in Full screen mode. You need to be in classic lay-out.
< Command - , > to open preferences if you need to switch
Then from here <control-click> anywhere in the column area to make additions to the column
revert back to the new 3 column view. If you loose one of the columns grab one of the vertical sides and drag it to resize.

Hey gregery,
Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
Also, go to File> Properties> Security and check whether form filling is allowed or not as shown below:

Check your settings in System Preferences > Trackpad

Sometimes just cleaning the trackpad can avoid erratic cursor behavior.

Also you might want to check your keyboard - may sound a bit silly, but I tried that myself on a friends laptop and we found a tiny bit of metal under the left arrow key.

While typing on my macbooc air suddenly the screen ent almost blank, pale. After closing the device and openning it again it flashed and started working normally. Is it dangerous or its fine?

Hello,
According to your user agent, you are on Firefox 32. If you planned to use Firefox 31 ESR, you can grab a copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
Out of curiosity, when it turns transparent, is there a "(Not Responding)" appended to the end of the window title? If you don't have the Window title being shown, it might show up if you have window titles shown on your taskbar, or in the task manager (right click on your taskbar and select "Start Task Manager"). If you do see a Not Responding, it could be a slow script on one of the pages you are viewing.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Wow! I would have never thought to look at the battery! This problem started for me after I closed the lid of my '08 MacBook Pro last night. This morning when opened ithe lid (which seemed a little difficult) and I started typing the problem was there. I read a bunch of similar threads but nothing helped (Tap to Click...). Then I saw the above from Macrumors and looked at my battery. One side is slightly bulging and is putting pressure on the trackpad bar from below. I can avoid the problem by typing with my hands off the surface of the Mac, suspended above the keyboard, but the battery needs replacing I guess. It must have overheated when I closed the lid last night, though it should have slept properly, sometimes Chrome or Flash running in Chrome won't let it sleep. I usually just manually 'sleep' it from the Apple menu without closing the lid.
Side note:
I just had the whole MacBook refurbished by Apple for $300 a year or so ago, but they didn't change the battery then. Still a great deal...new display, logic board, display board, ram... I swapped the original 200GB HDD for a larger hard disk (750GB) from iFixit. It's been running great ever since but I have noticed some laggy text entry recently or since switching to Mavericks...maybe related to the battery starting to fail.

Cursor jumps to random positions when I click in APSE8

Hello there, I've been using PS for quite some time and I have decent experience with it. However, recently I've encounted this certain bug in the program frequently and now I'm here in the forums to seek for a solution.
I use Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 8.0, and I use Windows 7.
The problem: Whenever I use the brush/pencil tool on the canvas, everytime I click to use the tool, sometimes the cursor seems to 'jump' out of position and I end up unintentionally putting paint on the wrong part of the canvas. And before I release the click, I try to move the mouse around in random directions to no avail; the mouse doesn't respond until I release the mouse. In another similar case, sometimes for a split second the cursor seems to move on its own and it leaves behind a random trail of color. Example: Let's say I wrote down my name 'Andrew' on the canvas. I end up something similar to 'Anc e.", along with a black dot/calligraphic stroke or two unintentionally placed when writing down my name. I had to undo and click several times until I properly got the tool working. I'm working on a certain project in PS and this bug is greatly hindering my progress and any solution or further explanation would be much appreciated.
I'm guessing a part of my bare hand is just barely in physical contact with the touchpad?

I would try another mouse. If you have a cordless mouse there have been problems with random acts in PS before, although that was last year.

I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

Firefox 4 isn't turning the cursor to pointer mode when it goes over an object in a flash movie that has the 'buttonMode' property set to 'true'. Can this be fixed?

I make flash games for a living, and normally when I set something to 'buttonMode' inside Flash, the cursor turns into the pointer when it rolls over the object. This is how it was in the previous version of FF and how it is in Safari and IE.
But this isn't happening in FF4. The cursor is not turning into the pointer. Kind of a bummer. This is a tool so that the kids who play the games I make know when something is clickable.

It seems to be an issue, I just posted the same question. I hope they fix it, its a bit annoying. I wonder if they had ex-Microsoft employees working on the updates for 4.0?
