Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send?

Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send? (Poor thing has been trying for a day and a half. I'd like to put it out of its misery.)

What options do you have if you right click on the pending email.
Just why is that mail not being sent? That is the real problem. Something isn't correct with your email outgoing settings making sending any emails impossible.

Have been advised to delete my outbox as a way of stopping Mail from trying to send. How do I delete the outbox?

I've been advised to delete my outbox as a way of stopping Mail from trying to send. How do I delete my outbox?

Actually, i had already deleted the emails trying to be sent in the outbox, which didn't work. What did work was going to Mail>Window>Activity and stopping the sending from there. Thank you for replying.

Is there a way to stop Mail from opening the next message?

Hi,
Since downloading Lion when checking mail it will automatically open the next email. This has gotten me in trouble a couple of times as I wanted to not open them until a later time but once opened I needed to respond. Someone mentioned shrinking the screen but not sure what that meant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another solution, perhaps -
With the message you did not want to read as the selected message, go to the Message menu and select "as Unread" from te 'Mark' submenu.
Also, if it is a matter of deleting a message and not wanting another message to automatically be opened next -
Select the message you want to delete. Hold down Option and press Delete - the selected message will be immediately deleted (not moved to the Trash), and no other message will be opened.

How do I A) Edit failed messages and B) Stop Mail from trying after failing

I'm trying to send an email but it keeps coming back and saying the address isn't valid. It's a very long email and don't want to re-type the whole thing, but would prefer instead to send it to myself so I can edit it on my computer. When I go to outbox, I see it there but I can't figure out a way to edit it. In addition, it seems that the outbox is constantly trying to send even after i fails in turn preventing any new messages from coming in. In other words, the only way I can get new messages is to delete this message from my outbox. I don't want to do this until I have sent it to myself. So A) how do I edit this message once it's in my outbox and B) is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send over and over even after it says that it has failed?

I had this problem a week or so ago......
I'll speak generally from memory. Sorry, I can't be as specific as possible, but this method did work for me on three bad messages I had over a couple of days.
I got the message into edit mode, possibly by selecting a send it to me option, possibly not.
The correction was to click on the outgoing address in the header and then the iPhone presented me with my outgoing email address options. Changing the out-going address fixed the message.
I may have been left with the original message, but the complete copy with the corrected address went through, and then I deleted the incorrect version once I was certain it went out okay.
Afterwards, I make certain I'm selecting an out-going address that the iPhone will work with. My home Roadrunner address is what fails on the iPhone, when I make certain to use my Google address, all works fine. And if a message fails on me, I check that out-going address to see if that was the problem and needs to be changed.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted

I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted.
is there a way to stop it in the middle so it does not go through the whole process

It's called, "FileVault." If there is no option to stop the process, then the best bet would be to wait until decrypting is finished. Otherwise you run the risk of borking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine how you can accidentally turn off FileVault.

My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?

My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?

If she is receiving your messages - then you must have somehow setup the iPad to use your iPhone number or your email address on her new iPad. How you did that is beyond me unless you set up her new Mini for her and used your Apple ID on it.
On her iPad got to - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your phone number or email address of that is what is being used for the contact number.

I believe on new mac this is how it works by default. There is a preference to turn this 'feature' off.
You should look in you login items under accounts under system preferences.
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.
