Im typing an email and the text is just a series of aaaa in small boxes

Hi
I am trying to send an email, but when I type i just get a series of aaaaa's in small boxes?

Hi,
Is it only when writing email you get this problem? Does normal documents (ie: Pages/Notes) work right?

  • Is anyone else having email problems such as apps exiting in the middle of an email? It may be a wireless issue. I use First Class for work and yahoo email for personal. I will be in the middle of typing a long email and the app just quits, all data lost.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • When I create an email signature, the text I type is repeated twice in the actual email sent (above and below a line).  How can I avoid this?

    It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!

  • Distance between a li marker and the text

    I know I'm being a little lazy....
    What is the way (best or only) to control the distance
    between a marker for an li (disc, square, etc.) and the text for
    that li?
    Thanks

  • When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button.  Can anyone help?

    When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button.  Can anyone help?

    See if any of the following help.
    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an iphone 4s and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving any help?

    i have an Iphone 4S and the text i send to a friend with a galaxy 4s he is not receiving. Any help?

    Then it's sending as SMS and not iMessage (that's good) so deleting the contact probably didn't help. It also seems iMessage isn't redirecting his texts as he's not used and apple device on the account previously. Can he receive a picture message from you instead? Does he receive texts from other  apple devices? (iPhones,pods/pads) try sending a text through Verizon online using your account on a web browser. If it is also blocked then it confirms the issue is with his device, well at least points you there rather than guessing if it's yours or his or both. There's some ideas, let me know- Joe

  • Difference in a string and the text retrieved from JTextBox

    Hello,
    I am facing a peculiar problem. Please see the following code fragment:
    m.replaceAll(";\ngo;);
    where m is a matcher. This is working fine. But whenever I am doing
    m.replaceAll(myTextBox.getText());
    and placing ";\ngo;" in the text Field is not working as before. This is because that getText() returns a string in text form(doesnot take the newline into consideration). Any idea how to solve this?
    Regards,
    Saurav

    Here is the following code:
    File fin = new File(file);
    File fout = new File("C:\\Temp\\temp123.txt");
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fin);
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fout);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis));
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fos));
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile(find);
    Matcher m = p.matcher("");
    String aLine = null;
    while((aLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
    m.reset(aLine);
    String result = m.replaceAll(replace);
    out.write(result);
    out.newLine();
    in.close();
    out.close();
    What I intend to do is that the user will provide a fileName from the GUI and also the text to find and the text to repalce with. Both of them will be in a JTextBox. Now
    suppose I want to replace ";" in the line "Hello;" with ";\nHow are u?" so that the line looks like
    "Hello;
    How are u?"
    But what is happening is that the line looks like
    "Hello;\nHow are u?" after replacement.
    This happens because getText() doesnot considers that as a special character...
    I tried to harcode the replace string and it worked perfectly....
    Thats the problem.....I need the same behaviour with getText().

    Saurav

  • If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it !

    If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T.  When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

    If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
    If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • Is remedial action needed if you click a link in an unsolicited 'scam-looking' email and the link went 404?

    Mac Mini 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo; 2GB memory; OS X 10.6.8. Incident occurred while using Firefox 35.0.
    The latest/most current discussions I can find are from 2013 or older. Assuming more than a year is plenty of time for "new" malware or even "virus" that can affect Macs to be developed and distributed, I can either assume that "no news is good news"-- 'no new malware/virus possibilities' for Mac, or swallow my pride and ask the question: Is there any malware or other harmful/malicious computer code--read, something that could steal my identity if/when I do my taxes online this year--currently known to be a threat to home non-business Mac computers?
    I ask because I committed the sin of all sins.....I got an unusual email from a vendor from whom I made one purchase (on ebay, a few months ago), asking me to loan "him" a sizable amount of money so he could "pay his hotel and retrieve his passport" while stranded in a foreign country. A very clear and not particularly uncommon scam method.....another flavor of the "grandma I'm in jail in Mexico" scam......and I'm one who constantly wonders how in the world people continue to allow themselves to get scammed (in my head when reading of other people doing it) by clicking on a link OR opening an 'attachment' in an unsolicited email. It wasn't tagged as "spam" by my ISP's very-good spam filters.....it was in my normal inbox; and, it was from a vendor I've done business with.
    There was no attachment, but there was a link; I hovered the cursor over it; the lower left of my monitor showed the link exactly the same as it appeared on the page. I figured, well, it seems to be to the correct URL (knowing the seller's web address outside of ebay because I had visited it before finding he sold the same items on ebay). So, I clicked the link. Without a second thought. There was no other 'contact info' in the body of the email, so I thought the link looks authentic so I'll just go see if there's any information there about the owner being out of the country or ????.
    The link took me to a Google "404" not found page. It was only there that I noticed the URL/link had an added letter; a stupid lack of attention on my part. The site could not be found because the URL was misspelled. I still was blissfully unaware that I violated my own rule (not to click links or attachments in unexpected email from entities I don't know or aren't currently transacting with). So I just closed the window and forgot about it.
    It was only on waking this morning that I realized what I did.....and started worrying that I may have been directed to a phony "404" page that, without any further action on my part needed, might have contained something malicious that could be passed to anyone who connected to the page. I don't even know if that's possible, and I have so far not seen any unusual activity on the computer. But soon I will want to file my tax return....and I worry about the timing of this unusual-possible-scam email and the beginning of "tax time" here in the states?
    So, in summary: Should I be worried that I fell for some new (since 2013) method of unknowingly downloading malicious software to my Mac? If so, what should I do now?

    I don't even know if that's possible, and I have so far not seen any unusual activity on the computer.
    No, it's not even remotely possible. What you encountered was an attempt to scam you, and a pathetic one at that.
    Identity theft in general is a significant threat to any computer (a term encompassing Macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones...) user. However, that threat most commonly arises in the form of "phishing" and you didn't play along with it. The likely reason the email appeared to have come from one of your previous eBay vendors is that his email address was harvested using any number of methods. The email probably didn't even originate with him. eBay is a rich source for obtaining such information.
    eBay has a fairly helpful guide on the subject: http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/recognizing-spoof.html
    To answer your specific questions:
    Is there any malware or other harmful/malicious computer code--read, something that could steal my identity if/when I do my taxes online this year--currently known to be a threat to home non-business Mac computers?
    No.
    So, in summary: Should I be worried that I fell for some new (since 2013) method of unknowingly downloading malicious software to my Mac?
    No — although Mac-targeted adware has arisen since that time and is a rapidly growing annoyance that can make using your Mac practically impossible, it will not directly cause information theft as you have described it concerns you. Furthermore, it requires your participation to install it in the form of an Admin name and password — and it requires deception to convince you to supply those credentials. Learn more about how that happens here: How to install adware.

  • Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

  • The icons in the bookmark tool bar are blank and the text that use to be below the icon is gone. I now have to cursor over the blank icons to see the text and the one I want. Can the icon/text customization be returned?

    In the Navigation Toolbar, the icons "Back", "Forward" etc. show the small icon and the descriptive text below the Icon. My Bookmark Toolbar use to have the same icon/text format but at some point, possibly a browser update, that changed. Currently, I do have a visible Bookmark Toolbar BUT the icons do not show the website icon, as previously, and the text below each icon is gone. I an cursor over each icon and the text becomes visible next to the icon. This is a bit of a pain to find a bookmark. Can I do a customization to return to the icon/text format.
    Was this changed because browser users requested this option, or was it an internal decision.? If the later why make such changes when not requested?
    Ed Sander

    That wasn't a change in Firefox. It sounds like something is broken in your Firefox installation, or you are misunderstanding the different between the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other Toolbars.
    In the Bookmarks Toolbar the text appears next to the website icon, not below the icon as with the other two Toolbars, and it's not switchable between text and no text as with the other Toolbars. With both the bookmark icon and the Bookmark name missing, something is broken in your installation. You need to do a little troubleshooting.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode] <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    If not, see this: <br />
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes]
    If your problem isn't related to an extension, your bookmarks data base file (places.sqlite) is probably corrupt. <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite <br />
    Be aware that if you delete the "places.sqlite" and similar files, your bookmark website icons won't automatically appear (the JSON backups don't have that icon data) when you restart Firefox and the places.sqlite is rebuilt using the backup data file, but the icons should be saved the first time each bookmark is used for the first time.
