Intermittently, when I have selected multiple Inbox messages, I can no longer move any messages around. Restarting fixes it.

OS: ROSA Desktop Fresh R3 release 2012.1 for x86_64
TB version: mozilla-thunderbird-24.4.0-69-mib2012.1.x86_64 dom 30 mar 2014 21:33:46 CEST
Since when: I am pretty sure only this version does it.
Description: Sometimes it happens that I select the last 3 or 4 Inbox messages to move them, but the operation elicits no further reaction from TB other than highlighting the selection. No other message movement works, even in other tabs. Even if I Ctrl-deselect all selections. Everything else seems to work: I receive, read, send messages. I have used it for hours even. Restarting fixes it.
NOTE: Once it happened that I selected the last 5 messages to be moved. Then I waited before completing the operation with rightclick. Then I received a new message. The message DID NOT show up below the selection. Then I rightclicked the selection and moved. The move dragged along the new message as well!! I was lucky to have suspected receiving the new message otherwise I would have never found it in the wrong folder! I have been afraid of multi selections including the last received message ever since.

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

When I have selected multiple paths using the pen tool, I can't make a selection out of them all, but only of the last one I created.

I want to make a selection with both paths in the selection. But it's only allowing me to select one, if I try both the paths just dissapear.

Similarly to what @JJMack said, if you use the direct selection tool (shortcut: A), you can either select all of the paths, or select a blank area of the canvas (which will deselect all paths) and then selecting the 'convert path to selection' button should convert them all simultaneously.
This is one of several bothersome changes to the path selection functionality in CC.

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

I keep getting a message that my voicemail is 90% full when I have deleted my voicemail messages. What do I do?

Depending on your carrier, deleting your voicemail messages may simply place them in a "deleted" area - much like a trash bin - that also needs to be emptied.
Check the voicemail area in your iPhone's Phone app. See if there is anything at all there - specifically something that says "Deleted". If so, inspect and empty it.

We have one iPhone3s w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud

we have one iPhone3gs w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud. How can I get all my photos from the iPhone3GS to iCloud?

You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi. It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi. Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine. What gives?

When I upgraded my iMac to Lion I can no longer connect the iPad 2 to WiFi. It gives me a message unable to search for WiFi. Before the upgrade to Lion it worked fine. What gives?

Could there be a setting I need to adjust in the iPad2? When I try to turn on WiFi and enter the name of the WiFi that I have established, including the security type and the password, I get the message "Could not scan for wireless networks." Is there a setting in iCloud or other location that needs to be changed?

While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

I, too, am having this problem with my classic today. It's just begun stopping itself once on each song I play today. I press the middle Select button to start it again, but this is getting very annoying! I haven't tried anything on mine today.
EDIT: I just realized that it's now doing this more than once per song. I just had this happen three times in a single 4 and half minute song. Any clues?

Hi, can you take the RAM out and try again? Sounds strange that RAM would cause this.
What computer type are you using and what OS?

Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB
