How do I A) Edit failed messages and B) Stop Mail from trying after failing

I'm trying to send an email but it keeps coming back and saying the address isn't valid. It's a very long email and don't want to re-type the whole thing, but would prefer instead to send it to myself so I can edit it on my computer. When I go to outbox, I see it there but I can't figure out a way to edit it. In addition, it seems that the outbox is constantly trying to send even after i fails in turn preventing any new messages from coming in. In other words, the only way I can get new messages is to delete this message from my outbox. I don't want to do this until I have sent it to myself. So A) how do I edit this message once it's in my outbox and B) is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send over and over even after it says that it has failed?

I had this problem a week or so ago......
I'll speak generally from memory. Sorry, I can't be as specific as possible, but this method did work for me on three bad messages I had over a couple of days.
I got the message into edit mode, possibly by selecting a send it to me option, possibly not.
The correction was to click on the outgoing address in the header and then the iPhone presented me with my outgoing email address options. Changing the out-going address fixed the message.
I may have been left with the original message, but the complete copy with the corrected address went through, and then I deleted the incorrect version once I was certain it went out okay.
Afterwards, I make certain I'm selecting an out-going address that the iPhone will work with. My home Roadrunner address is what fails on the iPhone, when I make certain to use my Google address, all works fine. And if a message fails on me, I check that out-going address to see if that was the problem and needs to be changed.

Actually, i had already deleted the emails trying to be sent in the outbox, which didn't work. What did work was going to Mail>Window>Activity and stopping the sending from there. Thank you for replying.

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

You should read the iPhone user guide. Answers all these questions.

Gettin "Assertion Failed" message and "Assert: parent node must have _DOMElement set", first when trying to bookmark and then when the "auto fill" on some web sites is used. Started after 3.6.9 automatic upgrade.

Open Firefox and navigate to web site. Try to save to bookmarks and get the "assertion Failed" message and "Assert: parent node must have _DOMElement set" followed by a list of 8 (0-8) items.

Try the Tiny Menu extension. I am using an older version of Tiny Menu on Lucid with Firefox 3.6.x and it works fine.

I have an iphone 4, how do I take stored voice messages and record them to a stick? A family member passed away and I want to keep their voice.

Hey there!
Sadly, there is no way to do this.
I'm sad to hear you've lost a familymember.
Try this: Move in a quiet-room. Play his/her voice over speaker of your iphone and record it with free recording-softwarefor windows or mac.
Hope this will help you keeping the memory.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

How do I have my newest messages appear in apple mail on my iPad without having to scroll up each time

I'm not sure what you mean. My new email messages are always at the top of the preview pane at the top of the screen. However, you can quickly scroll back to the top of the screen by tapping the top of the screen above the word InBox at the top. Tap on the black part of the screen and the preview window will quickly scroll to the top.

When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

How do I get my iMovie to burn to iDVD without a theme and play when inserted into a DVD player automatically once and then stop?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!
