Hyperlinks Not Working After First Click AND Message Editable in Inbox

Recently, we have noticed some marketing emails we'd sent out are acting weird when we receive them in Apple Mail.
We are using a reputable email marketing company to send the messages so I assume the formatting should be OK but occasionally the emails we send out:
1.) Will allow clicking a hyperlink once but not again. By this, I mean you can click on the link and launch the default browser and visit the link but, if you go back to the message and hover over the link, the cursor is an I beam instead of the link cursor.
2.) The message, while still in the Inbox, is actually editable! This might be the crux of the link issue since, if Mail is authoring a message, it won't allow you to click on a link (but will once the message has been sent and is in the Sent folder.
Other details:
a.) The hyperlink cursor will actually fail any time you have clicked inside the message body. So clicking the link the first time counts as clicking inside the message body.
b.) Closing and reopening the offending message will reset the message so you can click successfully once again.
c.) If you close the message that is "edited" it will not be saved.
This is happening on several OS and Mail combinations. (OS 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6, 10.6.4 and Mail 4.3 and 10.6.6 Mail 4.4)
We've only noticed this on emails that emanate from our email marketing company but it could be happening with others. We were wondering if there is some formatting they use that could cause this or if it's an Apple Mail bug.
Very hard to diagnose. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Let me clarify: not sure how it could be an Apple Mail preference thing since the problem seems to track certain messages more than anything and the problem appears in at least 3 Mail apps versions on 3 different computers across 3 different operating systems. That would be a pretty coincidental preference anomaly!
And yes, I said it could be happening with others; the operative word is "could". I didn't mean to imply by "could" that it indeed was. Just didn't want to rule out that possibility.

  • Mouse left-click not working after first click

    I see this issue has been up several times. I have disabled Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant and Java Quick Starter, but still have the problem. I’m using the lastest FF ver. 3.6.6 on Win XP. I think I have had this problem once in a while since FF 3.0 but now it’s almost daily.
    Does anyone know what’s causing this?
    Thanks,

  • IMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and message stating to contact Support came on

    iMessage and FaceTime not working on Mac Pro and a message stating to contact Support came on with a verification code.  It was working on 8/29 but stopped on 8/30.  When I called support to even speak with anyone they wanted $19.  I don't want to pay $19 for an Apple problem.  I cleared my key chain, also reset my apple ID password but still not working.  Works fine on my iPhone.

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the call if you select "Apple ID" as the product you need support for, and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the support representative.

  • Font Auto-Activation Not Working After First Use

    Anyone else seeing this problem, or have a fix? Font auto-activation stops working after the first use. Here's what happens: Open a file that contains a font that is installed, but is disabled in Font Book. The dialog box "Application wants to use the font XXX". Click on Allow. The font will be available, as you expect. Now quit the application. Open the file again - you won't get the dialog box asking permission to use the font, and the font is not available. This happens in Pages 3.0.1 and TextEdit 1.5. It happens for each individual font - in other words, continuing my description, if you now open a second file that has another font that is disabled in Font Book, you'll be asked permission to use it. But once you've allowed a particular font to be used, you won't be asked permission again.

    Make a backup.  Restore the device as new.  Test the issue again.  If it persists, your device needs service.  If the issue disappears, restore your backup.  If it then reappears, then there is some form of corrupt data on the device from the backup.  You'll have to restore that data one portion at a time to determine what is causing it, or set up the device as new.

  • IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

    Hi,
    I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
    I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working.  I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone.  It is 18 months old.
    I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions.  I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck.  I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6.  This appeared to have worked.  I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person.  I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
    I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all.  The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop.  The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
    Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
    -Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
    -Problems attaching to known networks
    -Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
    - My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
    - Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
    I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
    The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
    I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
    And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.

  • Analysis not working.. Clicks and Pops, etc.

    I'm trying to remove clicks and pops, clipped signals and power line hum from an audio track (registered using an iPod mic in a big room so it's full of noises) with the latest Soundtrack Pro 2-
    I did a Noise Reduction then applied the following Analysis: Clicks and Pops, Power Line Hum, Clipped Signal. After the processing, I click in each item in the list and fix it. The problem is that 90 per cent of the times the Click/Pop/Clipping is not fixed. I can see it alters the waveform but you hear pretty much the same thing as before...
    Do you have any experience on that?
    Thanks

    This is a tedious process you're trying to do. What it really comes down to is zooming out the audio until you have clicks and pops of about .5-1 sec. Then you really have to go over and over the really bad ones until you've covered it from all angles. What ultimately happens is you reveal layers of the pops. As you take out one layer another appears. When you isolate the problems they all begin to fix easier. The program is really very adept at finding the rest of a pop that only appeared partially on the surface at first.
    Good question - patients is a prereq. virtue here: Good Luck.

  • IPod is not working after being formatted and restored.

    This isn't the first time this has happened to my iPod classic. In a span of about 5 months, I've visited the Genius Bar, and one has been replaced under warranty. Now, the newly replaced one has suffered the same things that the old iPod has experienced. One day, as I was syncing new music, iTunes suddenly froze and had to abort the sync, making me eject the iPod without the sync completing. So, iTunes deleted all of my data (music, photos, videos, etc.). Now, each time I plugged in my iPod following that, iTunes had always frozen, and did not let me access the Devices tab and restore my iPod. Then, having a PC, I formatted it to its default settings, seeing that my computer recognized the iPod and iTunes did not. A pop-up box came up saying if I wanted to fix the problem on the iPod, and I prompted to do so. It completed, and it said my iPod was fully functional. Soon after, it was recognized by iTunes again, and said that it had corrupted files and needed to be restored, seeing that the iPod was under the Devices tab once again. I did so, the restoration was completed, and iTunes said that once after the iPod restarted, it would appear once again under the Devices tab. But, however, it did not appear, after leaving it plugged in for about 5 minutes. iTunes froze again, and now the process begins all over again.
    I have fully updated my iTunes, and I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, under Windows 7.
    I need help. I don't want to go back to make a reservation at the Genius Bar since the iPod is no longer under warranty, and perhaps I can fix it on my own. Will they  be able to fix it under no charge? What should I do?

    Also, if I eject it from the folder where all Devices are on my computer, the iPod restarts, and the restoration process on iTunes starts all over again.

  • Key combinations strg+b, strg+s, strg+p are not working after swapping fn and strg

    Hey guys.
    I just got my brand new Lenovo e540 and I really like it. I only got one problem and would like to know if there is a fix for it.
    I swapped the fn- and strg-key in BIOS setttings and everything went fine at first. But then I realized that some strg-combinations aren't working.
    The following combinations are not working: strg+b, strg+p, strg+s (as far as I remember) And it is really annoying if you can't save your notepad-document with strg+s.
    Now I came across these information:
    Fn+B= break
    Fn+P= pause
    Fn+S= sysrq
    Fn+C= ScrLK
    Fn+I= insert
    Is it possible, that this is the source of my problem? Because technically im still pressing the fn-key when doing my strg+s combinations because I swapped the keys in BIOS. The odd thing is, that strg+c is working absolutely fine.
    I already tried disabling all services and programs starting when booting up the pc but the problem still occured.

    I want to update the bios so much, especially because of the cleaned-up noise when using 3D...
    But i can't because of the darn shortcuts (FN+S is especially  troublesome for me).
    Come on guys, please add an option to disable those shortcuts or atleast make them swap when we swap ctrl+fn.

  • HT1937 My Iphone does not work after buying it and using it for 3 months how can I gert it fixed?

    I brought my Iphone on the At and T site 3 months ago and it's not working how can I have it repaired?

    I think that you should just contact the place you bought it from and have them take a look at it,  and if you have the warrenty on your iPod you can get a new replacement too.

    MODEL OF THINK PAD, IBM 2373-G5U T40P

    Hi Tom.  I just went through the same issue with my T42p.  After uninstalling/downloading/reinstalling the Access IBM software it still didn't work so I found my way here.  At first my visit didn't seem promising but I did a search of the forum for Access IBM and found a post in which somebody suggested installing the ThinkVantage System Update utility.  I did that, rebooted and accessed the utility through the start/programs menu and installed 3 critical updates, rebooted again, et voila, Access IBM is fully functional.  I've since gone back there a couple more times and am in the process of doing a fairly large download of optional updates.  It appears to be a cool utility that even allows for setting up automatic updating.  Kudos to whoever posted that link.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVSU-UPDATE
    At least I'm fairly sure this is where I went to download the thing. Took a couple of tries to successfully flash the bios but all seems fine now.  If you do decide to do this and also to flash the bios do yourself a favor and have your machine plugged into your AC adapter with a fully charged battery *before* you start that particular drill.
    Luck

  • Populator not working after deleting model and items from Oracle cofigurator.

    I had created a ATO model, and populated it to the Configurator, worked with it, created UIs, tested with OM (and BOM) worked alright.
    But, I had to delete the items and models in the Configurator as my playing around had messed it up. Now I populated it again from Oracle Apps, it is not bringing in the items (none at all) and it is not bringing in the options for option classes more then two level deep. Also, weirdly only the descriptions keep appearing in the Model tree node not the name, even if I choose it in the tree. I tried running purge configuraotr tables.
    Do you have any idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you again.

    First, back up your Mac. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    Then:
    Launch the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder. You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu. Select Show Toolbar if it is not already shown.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
    To do that click the Clear Display button in the Toolbar. All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Perform whatever actions cause the Mac to exhibit the slow behavior. If the problem is caused by errors logged by the system, the Console window will show them being recorded in system.log.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than 100 or so total log entries.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • Acrobat 9.0 shared review not working after FrameMaker 11 and RoboHelp 10 are installed

    Is it a compatibility issue? Does the same issue happen to you and how you fix this? Thanks for your help..
    Stephanie

    We are getting this on certain machines and not others.  I can't seem to be able to find a rhyme or reason.  We are trying to initiate reviews on a shared internal network location.
    A few questions for the forum:
    Does Owner rights matter on the share that the review file is to be stored in?  Currently we have Modify rights for all participants and initiators.
    Does it make a difference which updates are installed past 9.0?  Does it make a difference if Pro and Reader are installed?
    Can someone confirm that the Acrobat.com is required to be installed on the machine?  I noticed on the latest installs of reader acrobat.com application is not installed.
    I'm posting this now because I haven't seen a clear cut answer to:
    Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file

  • I just upgraded to 6.0 and links that want to open in a new window do not work. Right click and selecting open in new window does work.

    Similarly clicking a link in email does not open a window. I can drag the link to Firefox and a new tab opens.
    Also clicking Tools -> Add-ons does not open a tab as it used to.

    mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
    Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
    Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

  • I'm having three issues: spellcheck goes off, lastpass not working on all sites, and message boards not working correctly

    I'm having three issues with Firefox. I had the latest 10.1, and I just tried Aurora, but that didn't solve my issues.
    1) Spell checker keeps going off on messages boards. This happens frequently on 247 sports boards. I enable spell check, make a post, and it's off again when I make another post.
    2) On the same 247 board, when I make a post (by clicking the "post reply" button, nothing happens. To get it working I actually have to quit the site and go back in.
    3) LastPass plugin is no longer working on all sites. Site like Facebook and Yahoo all of a sudden Lastpass doesn't recognize as having usable fields.
