Mail sends when I hit the return key

For some reason as I'm typing an email,when I hit the return key, not everytime, Mail will send my email out. An unfinished, sometimes embarrasing email. I don't know how this started, but it is quite frustrating. Is there any fix to this?
I'm using OS 10.9.1
Thanks!

This has happened to me ever since upgraded from 10.6. When I was in the Apple store in November 2013 they said it was a known bug, obvioulsy they have not fixed it. I'm running 10.8.5

In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italic mode when I hit the "return" key.

In Safari, composing an E-mail message, when I click on "I" for italics, use italics for a word, then unclick "I" to return to the regular type face, it reverts to italics after I hit the "return" key to begin a new paragraph. How can I avoid that unwanted reverting to italics?

Hi ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

The mail app crashes as soon as I hit the return key.

A new development on my Macbook Pro. If I am writing an email or responding to one, as soon as I hit the return key the app crashes.
I don't experience that problem anywhere else, like in this form, for example.
Please help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h', and makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc. It stops when I hit the delete key. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h' in a word processor. It stops when I hit the delete key for a while. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor. The computer makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc, in any application or in the finder or when a application is running. Sometimes when this is happening I cannot control the cursor. I have to hit the 'delete' key to proceed. Does anyone know anything of this?

You have to change the cursor focus.
What I usually do for PDF pages/tabs, is click in the URL/location bar, then F11.<br />
For Flash, if you click on the page outside of the video area/box, F11 should work.

In Pages, when I hit the return button, the first letter on the new line is not capitalises. How do I get it to capitalise automatically?

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.1, when I am typing text such as email when I hit the shift key and certain letters it activates the shortcut keys and is very annoying how do I get this to stop?

This has happened multiple times. While typing email and also in forums. This is a new computer with Windows 7 so not sure if problem is something in Windows or with Firefox. Sometimes when I hit Shift and t a new tab will open, or shift and w will cause a pop up to come asking if I want to navigate away from this window. I have had other things pop up as well but not sure what they were or what keys I hit that caused them to show up. It tends to happen as I am typing faster. But when this happens, such as the shift t thing, I will close the tab and go back to what I was typing. Watching carefully that i am not hitting the ctrl key I hit shift t and the new tab will pop up again. The only way to get this to stop is to hit the esc key then I am able to to type fine again until it starts again. Once I was typing and my entire text highlighted and disappeared and I lost everything, so yes it can be extremely annoying. Hopefully someone can help me to solve this problem.

Yes, I have rebooted the computer several times. Logged off for the night and login this morning.
It still is happening.
It happens when I type a message in yahoo; when I login to yahoo, both trading platforms and several other applications.
After a while it stops - don't know if there is a key I strike that deactivates what every it is that is making the the keys perform the shortcut function. Sometimes by hitting ESC more than 4 times but less than 10 seems to stop it (or so it appears as the next time I type a msg in Yahoo mail the keys don't activate the toolbar "edit" function. Sometimes striking the backspace key over and over again when there is nothing to delete appears to stop it from happening.
Anymore suggestions? Greatly appreciated. Tired of retyping 3 or more times. Have gotten to the point where I type in word or notepad and paste my username and password into the appropriate areas or into the message area.
Will capture image next time.

Sound toggles on and off when I hit the "0" key on a 2010 Mac Mini.

Whenever I hit the zero key on an Apple keyboard using a 2010 Mac Mini, the sound toggles on and off. It does not happen when I use the keyboard with a 2012 Macbook Pro. There can be times when the sound toggles when I am not even typing. I upgraded to Mountasin Lion, but this did not resoilbve the issue. I have disabled remote control.
Thanks to all for your help.

Hi John,
That's often a sign of a bsad Capacitor in the Power Supply, but...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
I have even disabled all add ons.
I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

Hi,
Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

Mail sends when I hit return

Don't know what happened. But when I hit return to start a new paragraph it SENDS. Is there some weird preference that suddenly activated?

Thunderbird automatically syncs unsubscribed Gmail All Mail when you hit the "a" key

I do not sync Gmail All Mail as it is simply a duplicate of all my other folders.
However, if you accidently hit the "a" on the keyboard whilst in the folder view, Thunderbird automatically opens the Gmail All Mail folder and starts downloading/syncing the folder. Mine is around 20Gb so rather annoying.
I have to close TB, open it then quickly, unsubscribe to the Gmail All Mail folder, then close, delete the msf file and then I can go back into TB for it to work normally.
Is there a solution to this? How can I stop the "a" key from opening an unsubscribed folder?
Thanks for the help
Paul

You are archiving when you press 'a', and in gmail this is interpreted as moving it to All Mail.
I'd suggest you look at the KeyConfig add-on, which lets you specify (and disable!) keyboard short-cuts.

When I hit the enter key

I want some fields be populated. For instance When I enter the car's number, it the textboxes related to car such as brand-model etc should come,if of course has been entered in advance..How this can be done?
Thanks.

hi Deniz,
    follow the logic ....
     IN PAI of screen
    select the required values from the ztable according to the car's number ,
   and keep it in a work area .
    IN PBO ....
      pass the values of the work area to the needed fields .
   this will definately work when you hit enter ..do not forget to specify enter in your GUI-status and handle the code as well in the PBO .
Do not forget to reward points if helpful ..!
Regards,
Ranjita

IPhone restarts when I hit the "S" key

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this, but I don't see any place other than this forum and "Installing and Using iPhone Applications" to put this question, so here goes.
I have an iPhone 3G which is working fine except for one problem. Every now and then when I try to start an app that doesn't display its icon and begins with "S", my phone crashes and automatically reboots/restarts. It takes about 5 minutes to complete the restart this way, whereas it takes about 2 - 3 minutes on a normal startup.
This only started happening recently, and it doesn't happen every time. I've removed all the apps beginning with "S" that don't display their icons on the main menu screens and which I downloaded after this problem started occurring. It's still happening but not as often.
I've been able to find alternate keywords for all but one of my apps that don't display their icons and begin with "S", so I can work around the problem. But I'd like to get this resolved if possible. I'll probably have to bring the phone into an Apple store but I was wondering if this rings a bell with anyone here.

Hey, anything's possible. But like I said, I've found workarounds for all but one app. And if I can't figure it out by this weekend I'll take it to the local Apple store and see if they can figure it out.
