I was writing an email. I accidentally touched a key and the email disappeared. What happened?

I was writing an email on my macbook pro  10.10.1 using the apple mail app. I accidentally touched a key. I don't know which one(s), and the email disappeared never to be seen again; I've searched all the mail boxes, I've searched spotlight, I've searched trash and there is no sign of it. What happened? Where did it go?

Unfortunately, no.  If you haven't touched the keyboard since this happened you can try pressing control-Z (undo), otherwise it's gone.

  • When I close a link in an email I'm taken out of the email program and safari.  To view t  To view the next email I have to open Safari and the email program each time.

    When I close a link in an email,  I am also taken out of the email program and Safari.  To view the next email I must reopen Safari and the email program each time.

    Empty the Safari cache by pressing Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.
    If not, from the Safari menu bar click History > Clear History
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Is there a way to send the email notification as a PDF attachment and the email receipt as an email

    Has anyone found a way to send the email notification as a PDF attachment rather than email? I would still like to send the receipt as an email though? Any thoughts or experiences out there?

    Thanks for prompt response. Does this mean that there are future plans to do this?
    The forms received are used as part of a registration process into aonther system and aren't that User friendly in an email form. They have to be processed as received, so not efficiet to go in through the back end.

  • ICloud accidentally set-up with erroneous email acct. How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop...

    Hi Apple friends! Here's my frustrating situation. When I got the new computer (2012 Macbook Pro), I tried to set up iCloud but accidentally input an erroneous email acct. I cannot access iClod because the email was accidentally input as "[email protected]", not "[email protected]". How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop, and not only cannot use iCloud, but I keep getting messages popping up to register my iCloud with a non-existent email...
    Help?
    Sincerely,
    Cole

    Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
    If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

  • I have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?

    i have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?

    The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

  • There was away (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email and it would highlite but not open.  I could either delete or second click and the email would then open.  Can anyone tell me how to configure the prevue pane to that end with Mavericks?

    There was a way (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email in the "prevue pane" and it would highlite but not open.  I could then either delete it or click again and it would open.  With Mavericks that doesn't seem to be available making it impossible to delete an email in the prevue pane before I open it.  Its frustrating to have to go through all the monkey motions when I know I want to delete it from the get-go.  Does anyone know who to configure for that operation?  I'm using an iMac. 

    Wow,  have you ever seen 1 Billion in hard cash?  If not, I assure you it exists as well. 
    Try not to pick apart what others write because you "have not seen it." 
    I run TWO programs for protection of my MAC now and have been for sometime b/c developers of them become complacid thinking MAC is impermeable. 
    My MAC locked me out of it and two externals and when I finally did get back into them Norton Anti-Virus found a "worm."  When I asked the program to find the origin, it was traced back to an email, as you said, that I opened unintentionally.  I still have two external HDs for backup and a cloud backup now. 
    When ClamX ran after Norton was finished, ClamX found what it called as "spyware," and it's origin was in my email also.  I tried to delete the emails after the programs (both) identified the infected files, however once deleted and the computer is restarted, they were still there because I ran the scans again. 
    Now since we are no longer talking about how to turn on and off the view pane in apple mail; riddle me this,  why can't the developers of these antivirus and antispyware/malware programs get together and develop ONE PRODUCT that catches 90-95% of the viruses/worms/spyware/malware ect that get onto MAC's?  Is it because they are too busy thinking they don't exist? 
    I still run both programs and feel protected between the two.  If Norton said it was a "worm" then I believe it was a worm and if ClamX called it "spyware" then I believe it is spyware. 
    I had to wipe my MAC and do a fresh install to get it working again, then I had to open one of those externals (which was very, very difficult) multiple times until finally it displayed the message "you can view, but not change the data."  I exported as much as I could to my cloud and I had to format both of those too. 
    I still run both programs as I feel protected between the two.  If Norton tells me it is a "worm" then I believe it is a "worm;" if ClamX tells me it is "spyware" then I believe it is "spyware."  If it happens again, which my hope is that it won't, I will be more than happy to send the infected files to you!!
    Try not to "forum rage."  Support forums to post experiences and find answers, not nit-pick or claim not existance b/c you have not experienced it for yourself.

    Have you checked your spam folder as well as your Inbox ? If it's not in there either then you could ask the sender to try re-sending it (and to double-check the address) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541

  • I was writing a very important document; I saved it and I closed pages, now when I try to open it, I have a message with "it's impossible to open this document". How can i fix it?

    I was writing a very important document; I saved it and I closed pages, now when I try to open it, I have a message with "it's impossible to open this document". How can i fix it?

    When you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac:
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Why does my iPad hang when writing an email?  When I'm done with the email, I can't send it out and have to re-boot the iPad.

    Why does my iPad hang when writing an email?  When I'm done with the email, I can't send it out and have to re-boot the iPad. This happens if the time to compose email exceeds 10 to 15 minutes.

    Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
    1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close program
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
    Suggest you perform Step 1 to 3 at the end of every day.

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

    No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

    Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
