Ipad freezes if I try to highlight text when composing mail

I am having trouble with the Mail application.  When I compose an email, if I try to highlight or select text from one email to copy into a new email, my ipad freezes and I have to exit out of the mail application.  When I open Mail again, everything is blank for about 5 seconds (showing no mail and no folders), then Mail closes.  If I select Mail again, it opens normally but usually will not save my last email. 
I checked and my ipad is running the current OS software.
Any help is appreciated!!

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : 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.
If that doesn't work then try 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.

  • Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server

    Running a terminal server with WIndow 2003.  Have Adobe 9 Reader installed.  When a pdf is opened, it will look correct.  However, when one uses the scroll bar on the right to see more of the document, text can be highlighted and change colors constantly when scrolling.
    Test it outside of terminal server and it works fine.  This issue did not happen with other versions of Reader.  I have attached two samples one clean and one highlighted. 
    Any help is appreciated

    Very cool. Thanks for the info!

    Subject: Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server
    Okay. Here is what I found. These settings are changed\saved under the User settings in the registry. Here is the key the changes are made to:
    HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Originals
    When "NONE" is selected from Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Rendering, three DWORD values are added to the above mentioned registry key. These are:
    Value Name - Value Data
    *bAntialiasText - 0
    benableDDR - 0
    iAntialiasThreshold - 12*
    I have added these lines to a login script that adds the necessary DWORD values to default the "Rendering" to NONE.
    *reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V bAntialiasText /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V benableDDR /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V iAntialiasThreshold /T REG_DWORD /F /D 12*
    Cheers!

  • Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
    Best of luck

  • IPhoto 11 will not send placecard holder text when e-mailing!

    When sending photos with template design with a placecard text holder it will delete the text when e-mailing. A message come up saying it will e-mail photos but will not send text!

    It's what everyone is complaining about. Your only option is to File > Export, say to the Desktop, and then attach them to an e-mail yourself, say by dragging the photos onto the Mail icon in the Dock.
    Perhaps soon someone will write an export plug-in that will do that for you.

  • Keynote doesn't show highlighted text when played.

    I have highlighted text fragments on several slides. The highlight behind those text fragments looks fine when in design mode, but does not show in Play mode. These text objects are layered in front of other graphic objects. Does anyone else have this issue?

    I thinks I figured this out. Highlights are treated like comments and are annotations attached to text rather than first-class objects n their own right. They are similar to PDF annotations.

  • How can I change the color of the highlighted text when using the FIND function in Terminal?

    When searching for text in the Terminal's buffer, the matched text is highlighted using a color which seems to be computed from the background's color. I'm using a black backgroud and the finder's highlighter is grey. How can I change this? I'd like to specify the foreground and background colors of the matching text. I couldn't find an appropriate setting in the terminal's settings, nor in the default settings using the command "defaults".

    In my .bashrc file, I have enabled a couple of grep environment variables.
    GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'
    GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;226'
    The latter is a vivid yellow.
    From the shell, I can search my history:

  • Does Adobe Viewer on iPad support Search, Bookmark and Highlight Text?

    I would like to know if the Adobe Viewer for the iPad support the Search, Bookmark and Highlight Text features.... Or if some of these features are planned to be developed later and when.
    Thanks for your quick answer.

    Not yet. Those features are on the roadmap, but I can't offer an estimated time.

  • Highlight text not working in multi-thread client-server application plug-in

    I'm developing a plugin application for my dissertation research on multi-application environment. I have an application server that communicate with the PDF document via plugin.
    The plugin acts as both client and server, depending on the situation.
    - Plugin as Server
             I have a multi-threaded winsock2 IOCP running to catch client connections and when a client connected, get the data from the client (set of words), and highlight these words in the pdf document.
    - Plugin as client
               I use 2 procedures, one to collect all the text from PDF and send to the server using tcp win-socket connection and another to collect data from highlight tool and send these text. both these are not threaded.
    Here's my question, because I want to listen to multiple client connections, when the plugin is the server, I'm running this procedure in a thread and then wait for clients to connect and use IOCP to serve the client connections.  When the client is connected I use the data coming from client to highlight some text in the PDF document. All of these functionalities are already implemented, but when I receive data from client and try to highlight text in the PDF document my application freezes up and stop working. I think this is something to do with the thread. I'm using _beginthreadex to start the server and then another _beginthreadex inside the IOCP worker thread.
    I can post the code, but before that let me know if you can see any problem in this situation. What I see from other posts is that acrobat is not multi-threaded.

    Thanks a lot for the reply.
    I guess I probably need some sort of a notification when the data is received and do a callback to the main thread to run the acrobat API. Is there anyway I can create custom notifications? Something like this,
    AVAppRegisterNotification(AVDocDidOpenNSEL, gExtensionID, ASCallbackCreateNotification( AVDocDidOpen, (void *)DocIsOpenedCallback), NULL);
    or should I use a custom action listener?

  • I cannot highlight text

    My HP PhotoSmart 7525 printer came with limited Acrobat function when using SCANNER mode and choosing SCAN AS .pdf. I am able to add sticky notes to a scanned file, but when I try to HIGHLIGHT TEXT, I get the change in cursor shape (as if to begin highlighting), but dragging over the text does nothing.

    HP provides a "make PDF" routine in the software it provides with HP scanners. It is no Adobe's Acrobat.
    PDF is an ISO Standard (since 2008). Any software house can make routines that create PDF.
    Some are even worth their salt.
    Anyway, typically HP also provides OCR capability with the software it provides with HP scanners.
    So, use the HP routines to get an OCR'd PDF.
    Then use Adobe Reader XI (which provides the full set of Comment and Drawing Markup tools) to highlight.
    You need to OCR output because the Highlight tool HAS to have actual text -- an image or picture of text does not cut it.
    (Scanner output is always an image / picture of what was on the paper.)
    Be well...

  • Highlighting text in  Preview

    Unexpectedly, a strange alteration to how I can highlight text,  when reading a pdf in Preview has occurred. I used to be able to check the highlight icon in the annotations bar and that's about it. Now when I intend to highlight text, the colour extends to being four lines wide, and when I finish - it gets even stranger. Instead of  the text with a straight band of colour - like with a real high-liner pen - odd shapes occur across the text! How to revert to a simple, colour line highlighting the text I feel is important?

    No it has nothing to do with, if the PDF is protected or not. It is not in this case, it is having the PDF open in Preview and holding down the mouse button and dragging and highlighting the information in whatever direction you push your mouse in. Preview seems to only highlight what ever is showing on the screen instead of highlighting from page to page.

  • Regarding the "Highlight Text" feature

    Hello all!
    For the last couple weeks, I have been trying to figure out how to search my OCR enabled pdfs for certain key words and then highlight each instance, and, either because I missed it or because I was using an out of date version of Reader, I wasn't able to do this using Adobe Reader.
    Today I spent some time looking again and found the comments tool bar and the highlight text feature, but because of an asterisk next to them I couldn't bring them up, regardless of what kind of pdf it was.  I even tried making new pdfs with lower security settings to see if that did it but to no avail.
    However, today while Reader did not alert me to anything when I first opened it this afternoon, after multiple openings and closings as well as it being open for extended periods of time, it eventually informed me an update was available.  I updated to XI just now, and to my SHEER JOY the highlight text feature is not only available but on my toolbar by default.
    First of all, to any Adobe staff who reads this - THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FEATURE AVAILABLE BY DEFAULT.  I've needed this for an important project at work for a while now.
    Second, after receiving this new update I went on these forums, and it seems that this feature and this update have both been available for a while now, which is giving me a lot of questions:
    1.) When was the reader XI update pushed out to users (in other words, when should I have been notified that an update was available)?
    2.) Is the highlight text feature being available by default (and without asterisks or me giving myself migranes trying to change security settings) new with XI, or was it available in previous versions by default as well?
    3.) Why was this feature previously unavailable by default and guarded by security permissions etc.?
    4.) Why did this feature's availability change - what changed Adobe's minds?
    These are mostly for curiosity, but also because I've spent the last two weeks recovering from a corrupt user profile on my laptop, and since I can't remember what version I was using before I updated to XI, so I'm also curious if I've been using an outdated version for a while now.
    Anyway, any insight into my questions would be appreciated, but either way THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

    I didn't make myself clear I'm sorry. I don't want to highlight text when searching, I want to highlight text like you do in a textbook when you are studying, using a highlighter.
    like so
