IMessage receipt opens compose new

When my phone is locked and i receive an imessage, instead of the received message opening a new message compose screen opens. Just began happening ... any way to correct this problem?

Hi Isigmo,
I have the same problem. Tried everything - restart, reset, restore, update iOS - but I still get the same problem. Not for all contacts though. Just for a couple. By any chance, were you able to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot for your help!

My iPhone isn't directing me properly to messages since I moved to the UK from Canada. When I receive a new iMessage it opens a 'new message' thread to their number in a UK format rather than directing me to the established thread under their name.

I moved to the UK a week ago and popped a new SIM in my unlocked iPhone 4 (all the latest software installed, 6.1.3, though I see in the drop-down below that there's a .4? My phone says it is up to date anyway). Since then, I have done a lot of texting to people back home in Canada. Of course, for economical reasons, I am using iMessage. When I'm talking to them, if I have messages open, and my screen hasn't gone to sleep, then I'm fine. But if the screen goes to sleep or I'm doing something else and I try to reply by way of any sort of notification where the phone redirects me to the message (when I tap a banner or unlock while an alert is showing), instead of sending me to where I can reply, it starts a whole new text message with the person's phone number in a UK format instead of their contact name. Their message is in the iMessage conversation history where it belongs, but I can't read it in full until I cancel the 'New Message' and open their conversation in the Messages list.
So far, I have tried:
-Simple things like restarting my phone, resetting it, etc.
-Changing the format of their number to include country code, to not include country code, to have the plus, to not have it, etc.
-Changing where my messages come from, be it my phone number or my iCloud, etc.
-Updating iCloud to make sure it knows I'm in the UK.
-Resetting everything in the reset menu one at a time (I had hopes for settings and the Location & Privacy ones, but no).
-Erasing all content and settings and restoring my phone from a backup.
I've pretty much messed with every setting, but please let me know any suggestions you have, I may have missed one.
It does seem as if the format of my contacts has something to do with it, because I don't get a notification at all if I change the setting "Show iMessage Alerts From" to contacts only. The iMessage goes through to the iMessage conversation, but the alerts I get seem to think it's a text message as it comes through with a sample of the message in the alert under their phone number. It's only when I try to reply through an alert that it screws up. I know this may seem small but it's driving me nuts, especially because I don't memorize people's phone numbers anymore so I don't know who sent the message until I exit the new message and look it up!
Please help me before I go mad!

Entourage default opening at compose new message

It seems since upgrading to Mavericks that when I open the Entourage mail application, the program seems to always default to Compose a new message window. This is not how it used to be. I could simply open Entourage and view my folders and main window panel. If I selected new mesage, only then would the compose email panel appear.
I have looked through the entourage preferences and cannot identify which option is causing this occur and then how I can turn it off.
I am using Entourage for Mac 2008.
Any ideas?

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and I am using Entourage for Mac 2008 as well. The exact same thing is happening to me. Extremely annoying. Upon opening Entourage it goes straight to opening compose new mail message window. Searched through preferences for an option to turn this off and there is nothing referring to this.
What to do. Hopefully microsoft will identify this glitch and send out an update to fix.
In the mean time it looks like we will just have to close this annoying window each time you want to simply read your emails.........

Mail automatically opens a new compose window after sending mail

Just recently, my Mail program has started opening a new compose window after I send an email. It's accompanied by the "you did something wrong" tone that my computer makes if you (for instance) hit some incorrect combination of keys. I've tried to fix this in preferences, but I don't see any item that controls this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as this is a waste of time to have to cancel out of the unwanted new compose message, and confirm that, indeed, I want to cancel and not save it.
Thanks!

Is Outbox visible in the mailbox list? If so, get rid of any stray messages that may be there.

When composing mail in Gmail, certain key combinations cause menus to open or new documents to be created?

While typing "sh" or "th" etc combinations menu's open on their own. The history menu comes up with "sh". When "th" is used, it opens a new document. Very bothersome. How do I disable this?

Problem is solved by removing these 2 lines from iframe.html
if(navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.location.replace("");

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts. When "compose new mail" is selected "loading...." appears at the top then the page is frozen. ie you can't select inbox etc. Changing from standard to basic h/ml then clears the Loading... and gmail can be used (without spellcheck etc).
This might not be Mozilla, but I can access these accounts in standard view on another computer.

Your Gmail account may well be an IMAP account, just like the iCloud mail account. In which case it will work in just the same way as iCloud mail, except that you will have to set it up manually on each device, where as iCloud mail adds the account itself when you log into iCloud.
Whilst it works the same as iCloud mail it isn't iCloud that syncs it for you.

Opening a new window in VC

Hello All,
I am using eventing between two iviews.
Is it possible to open a new window, when I select a certain row from a table using Visual Composer? If so how do I do it?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
Can you explain What is your requirement, if you want to open a new window you need to do as per the reply from Ari Kumar.
if your query is regarding eventing between two iviews, you can trigger an event in the containing iview with a event defined in the nested iview only when the name of the event is same as that of the signal out defined in the nested iview.
let us know if you need more info.
Regards,
Rk.

Please tell how to do, that when I want to forward a message, a message opens in new tab, not in a new message window in thunderbird. Thanks.

Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

IPod 4th gen iMessage cannot open, crashes whenever I open it

iPod 4th gen iMessage cannot open, crashes whenever I open it. I guess its because my friend jokingly messaged me a huge chunk of text ? Any ways to fix it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ichat won't open since new hd installation? help.

ichat won't open since new hd installation? help.

im on osx version 10.8.3, on a macbook pro.
please help, thank you

HI,
I feel there is slightly more to this story.
Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) does not have iChat.
It has Messages which is iChat+ as it has had iMessages added to it.
(I think that a Mountain Lion Upgrade is part of the picture.)
This suggests you Changed the Hard Drive and either Installed or cloned the OS on to the (new) Drive.
At this point you may have migrated your Mac User Account from different computer or the old Hard Drive.
If you were Migrating apps from an old drive or computer then it is technically possible to "install" iChat in the Applications Folder but it will not work.
Each version of iChat has to "Match" the OS it is on.
Broadly speaking that is iChat 4 is in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) and iChat 5 is in Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x)
In fact it goes deeper than this in that incremental updates in the OS include (sometimes) the updates to iChat.
This means that by OS X 10.5.8 at the end of the Leopard Updates iChat is at version 4.0.9
Snow Leopard gets to OS X 10.6.8 but iChat 5 only gets to version 5.0.3 at this point.
Open your Applications Folder.
Does this contain iChat, Messages or in fact Both ?
If you then highlight and then use CMD and i keys (Get Info) what version information do the app(s) display ?
The Messages App should not be put inside any other folder.
I have seen where people have created "Messaging" folders putting MSN, Skype and Messages or iChat in the same folder to "tidy" the Applications folder.
This can mess up updates.
In fact if you have done this the DOCK item may point to something that did not get Updated to Mountain Lion.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Firefox will not open after new update; Error: Platform version '1.9.2.13' is not compatible

After accepting the new update I got this error message when trying to restart Firefox:
XULRunner
Error: Platform version ‘1.9.2.13’ is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.9.2.14
maxVersion <= 1.9.2.14
I have tried:
- Opening in Safe Mode; same error
- Uninstalling, deleting remaining info in C>ProgramFiles>MozillaFirefox folder, and reinstalling.
- Updating Avast antivirus in case that was interfering.
Now when I try to start Firefox I get this message;
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
But there is nothing happening in the Windows Task Manager. Please, somebody save me from Windows Internet Explorer!!

I experienced this error updating from Firefox 3.6.13 to 3.6.14 and resolved it by doing a 'clean' install' as described. It occurred again in updating from 3.6.14 to 3.6.15 and this time a clean install failed to rectify it. (Anyway, I don't want to have to go through this every time.)
Work-around: Shut down Firefox. Edit application.ini (typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\application.ini")
[Gecko]
MinVersion=1.9.2.15
Change to 1.9.2.13
Save. Start Firefox. Dirty? Yes. Works? Yes.
(Gecko is the forerunner or XULrunner)
