Mail V. 2.1.3 (753.1) acts totally weird, formatting totally screwed up

A few days ago I installed a Type 1 font (Helvetica Fractions) and it showed up unwanted in my mail.
So I disabled that font again and everything was good again. — A day later suddenly all mail settings were totally screwed up: The header takes half the screen (it looks like the fonts use a 500% line spacing); the interface graphics (blue bubbles, arrows etc. don't show); making the text larger or smaller acts weird (command+ makes it smaller, command- also, using the size panel 9pt makes it larger, 18pt and all others make it smaller); text lines are endless, images huge; copied and inserted text come as one word, has all blanks eliminated. — Tried all settings and preferences to no avail.
What to do? Re-install? How?

1} Safe Boot (holding shift key down) didn't work at all. The little clock (circle, how do you call it?) kept rotating and rotating, the ventilator joined in pretty noisily, but nothing happened.
OK, then your Hard Disk is messed up, either let it go for several minutes or until it completes, or...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

2) How do I right click and archive on a standard mouse? Also, no independent compression program available.
It's built into the OS and Control + Click = right click for one buttom mice.

  • Dock acting really weird - Please help!

    After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
    1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
    2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
    Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

  • Wired Aluminium Keyboard acting very weirdly

    Hey guys,
    My keyboard has all of a sudden, started acting really weirdly, and keys are doing things they shouldn't.
    Whenever I type the "S" Key, the music will stop and when I press again, the music will resume playing.
    When I press the "D" Key, it comes out as D=
    Also, I have to press the backspace key at least 10 times for it to backspace one character.
    Has anyone had any problems like this with their keyboard?
    My iMac is only 1 week old.
    Alot of other weird things happen as well such as the music glitching when I use the caps lock key.
    Also I tried my Aluminium keyboard off my other Mac and it works perfectly without any of these problems I experience when using the other keyboard.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Things I've tried:
    - Restart/ Shutdown
    - Unplug all USB Device except keyboard
    - PRAM Reset
    None of these have worked.

    I found this in the Help Viewer:
    Some keys don't work as expected
    Open Speech preferences in System Preferences. If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key combination to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--change to a more obscure key combination (try to use more modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, simply disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Open Universal Access preferences in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab, and make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In Universal Access preferences, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see this article.
    If the issue persists, open System Preferences and click International.
    Click the Input Menu tab.
    Click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox to select it.
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If you have exhausted every trouble shooting tip possible, you might want to take the keyboard back for a replacement. Your iMac is certainly under warranty.

  • My iMac is acting really weird lately....

    So I got my iMac in 2008 I think. Around that time. So sometimes it's slow but it still works fine... Initially I had 1 GB of RAM and last year I got 3 more so now I have 4GB of RAM. (I don't know whether this may be related to my problem but I thought I'd mention it) My iMac has been acting unusually weird for a week or so. It starts up soo slow, it takes about 7 minutes. Yesterday it started up just fine though.... Today I wanted to start it up and I got to the desktop screen but the little applications on the top bar (the wifi, volume, language preference, caffeine etc) wouldn't all load (just a few of them were there)... and then I got the spinning wheel.... which wouldn't stop spinning... so I shut it down because nothing would work and I started it up again. No luck. I tried again and this time I was stuck for 15 minutes at the grey apple logo thing before I got to the desktop screen... Also, I have an app called Caffeine. A few days ago it disappeared from my top bar without having done anything... I use it so that the desktop doesn't go into sleep mode/screensaver mode... so I noticed the screen saver and I thought it was weird because I haven't had screen savers for years. The first time it started to act strange was a week ago, when I started the iMac and it told me to enter my apple ID and password - but I never logged out of it! This happened multiple times. Once, I entered everything correctly and it told me that it was incorrect. When I restarted, it got me right into my apple ID.. Also Chrome was asking me for a password for 'local items' - which is really weird because I never had something like that. Or at least never seen that before..... I also searched for viruses and repaired some permissions but it didn't change much... now it doesn't ask me to log into my apple ID anymore but it takes so long to start up... But once it's finished starting up it works flawlessly. I'm really worried. What's happening to my iMac?

    Do the following:
    Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    Backup your files to an external drive.
    Boot from your installer DVD.
    Erase the hard drive.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Snow Leopard to 10.6.8.
    Reinstall any third-party software from original media.
    Restore your data files.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. After formatting is finished quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete Snow Leopard installation.
    5. Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8
    The easiest way to do the backup step is to connect a formatted, empty hard drive of the same capacity or greater than your internal drive. Clone the internal drive to it.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

    Is there anyone that can tell me a little bit about what is going on?

    I've restored it several times with no backup at all and it doesn't seem to help.  Almost all of my apps crash I have deleted almost all of them hoping if it was a memory prob it would be fixed but no the main one is safari it crashes all the time.  It also just acts really weird. When I am typing anything on safari the letters will drag and then slowly catch up when I'm typing.  It will also go to a different kind of screen format like its trying to figure out if it's a computer or phone when I rotate the screen.  I have go in and delete the website data and clear everything almost everyday and it still does this.  Hope that helps, if you have any idea on what's going on or any other advice on how to fix I'd love the help thanks

  • Brand new MacBookPro acting really weird. It's stuck i think

    So my brand new Mac Book Pro (30 days old) recently started to act really weird. I have this audio software called Pro Tools 10 and 2-3 days ago it started to crash it every time i open up a Virtual Plug-in on a track. I thought that this was the only problem with my computer but I'm noticing new weird things every day.
    When i shut down my computer or restart it it always turns on with the File Sharing window open.. I was experimenting with in the File Sharing window like 3 days ago but now it opens every time I start my computer.  When I click on the System Preferences the File Sharing window always opens up. I have to click ,,Show All'' to see the menu for System Preferences.
    When i open up Safari the same 3 tabs always reloads. This was some websites i looked at 2-3 days ago but it always reloads. Even if I quit Safari it reloads when i open it up again.
    I deleted a application from my computer and it's shortcut from the DOCK but everytime i start up my computer it appears there (just a question mark instead of the shortcut)
    It's like my computer is stuck. Stuck in the day i did all these things and it hasn't coped with the things I've done since then.
    I've tried to un-click the ,, Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'' in the System Preferences/General but as soon as I close the window it clicks itself again. I reset safari but that won't do it ether.
    I've updated all my software and I'm now currently running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on MacBook Pro 15' i7 16gb RAM. I upgraded my RAM like 15 days ago so I don't think that's the problem. I've done ,,remember tests on it and it passed all the tests.
    So what could be wrong with my computer ? What could be making her behave so weird ? Should I delete my user account and create a new one ? Should I install Mountain Lion instead of the version I already have ?

  • I just bought a powerbook - week ago - acting totally buggy-have i been hacked due to poor security of lion?

    i was hacked with my old mac book i just bought a macbook pro - week ago it is acting totally buggy - tried 3 browsers safari opera and now firefox - won't download embeded video - just stops etc - what security 'fixes' are available for lion to prevent hacking battery component and malware installed

    You have not been hacked.  It's impossible to speculate about what exactly the problem is, since all you've said is that it won't download embedded video.  You may just need to update Flash, or you may be using a bad site, or you may have a bad internet connection...  impossible to say with such sparse data.  But it's not hacking and it's unlikely to be malware.  Regarding the malware issue, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • Problem with Mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1).

    I have DSL road runner service, and in two of my accounts I cannot receive e-mail on my home I-mac. I can go to the RR server and it is there.
    This just started a few day ago. What do you think?

    You may only need to re-setup you your email in Mail. Click Preferences, Accounts, Select the account and then click the - symbol below to remove it. Then click the + sign and add it back in using your ISP's information.

  • How do I change an "offline" out mail server for Google mail to online.  Currently 2 "offline acts use one online out Google server.

    I have three Google accounts.  All three work fine for incoming mail.  However, two have their out going mail server listed as "offline."  So when I send email from those two accounts, it goes through the one active online out going account.  When the receiver get the email, it appears to come from the on online account, rather than the account from which it was sent (i.e., one of the two offline out server accounts).  How do I get all of the out servers online?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I assume that you are talking about web browser links that create a new message in mail? If you are talking about web mail it will always go from the web mail service you are logged into
    In mail when you have a new message you can select the account it is sent from in the drop down list just below the subject line
    I believe that the next new mail defaults to the last account you used so if you just used .mac mail with mail the next time you send I believe it will start there until you change it
    If mail is not running it will use the top account in the list - to change that open your mail preferences ==> accounts and drag your comcast account to the top of the list if it is not there

  • Mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1) reverts to moving gmail messages to the Trash.

    I have two Macs—a Power Mac G4 Cube w/Mac OS X (10.4) & a 17-inch MacBook Pro (late 2008) w/Mac OS X (10.5)—and use MobileMe to keep them both synchronized. The problem I am experiencing is with the Cube using Mail 2.1.3; the mailbox behaviors for my GMail account (IMAP) will occasionally tick the +Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox+ checkbox on its own. I want this checkbox to remain empty. I do not have this issue with the MacBook using Mail 3.6, which honors that setting.
    I have repeatedly removed the check from that box and selected +Sync Now+ from the .Mac Sync menu to keep that setting, but eventually the checkbox will revert to the previous state.
    Does anyone have any insight into why this is happening & how it can be remedied?

    Mail 2.1.3 kept the set behaviors for about half the week then reverted to the previous state. As I noted in my original post, Mail 3.6 on my MBP retains the correct setting. I have also noticed that a folder titled Apple Mail To Do resides nestled within the GMail mailbox in Mail 2—it does not appear in Mail 3 (the mailbox behavior for this is not checked in Mail 3, yet it created a Label for it in my GMail account). The inconsistencies seem to be influenced by syncing with the .Mac/MobileMe cloud—perhaps there is a compatibility issue between it, GMail & the different versions of Mail!?
    Whatever the causes, I disabled Mail Accounts and Mail Rules, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes in the Sync tab of Tiger’s .Mac preference pane. Since the GMail & MobileMe accounts are both IMAP anyways, I can think of no reason for the two email clients to sync at regular intervals via MobileMe. So far the Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox checkbox for my GMail account remains empty.

  • Mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1/753) - home / end / page up / page down broken

    Hi Gang,
    Since upgrading to 10.4.11, Mail Version 2.1.3 is no longer responding to home, end, page up and page down keys. It's very annoying to have to use the mouse to page down, shift-select, and delete to remove un-wanted text from messages.
    Have others experienced this, and found a fix?
    Derek

    In every version of Mac OS X I've used, since 10.2, the Home and End keys have never done anything in Mail, and nobody else I know has ever reported them working for anything, either. So I think you may be mistaking having used that key in Mail. .
    However, Page Up and Page Down do work, as I use them every day. Are you saying that those two keys do nothing at all, or just not what you expect? And how do you have your Mail window setup (single pane, with a list of messages to scroll through and double-click to select, or with two panes--the message list on top and the selected message appearing below it)? That would also make a difference as to when Page Up/Page Down work.
    Try both views, and if Page Up/Page Don't work in either, post back with more details.

  • My iPod Touch was acting very weird, and now the sleep button is unresponsive

    Just yesterday morning, my iPod didn't turn on.
    When I tried to turn it on, it didn't turn on, so I went to itunes to try to restore it. I downloaded the 700MB update, and left for school, leaving the iPod at home. I came back to find the screen turned on, however, it was acting very very strange. At first, I thought the battery was dead, even though I fully charged it the day before. First when I'm using it, the screen blacks out, flashes, and it constantly asks me to slide to power off, when I didn't press anything. Did a hard reset, and an update/restore, but it didn't fix the problem.
    Afterwards, I noticed that the strange behavior stopped. Everything was functional again, except this time, the sleep button no longer works. I press the power button, and nothing happened. I can't even do a hard reset. I can't turn it off. The button isn't stuck though.
    I don't know what's going on, but I need my sleep button, because if anything happens to this iPod, I won't be able to reset it. I restored it twice, and the issue was not resolved.
    If anyone knows how to fix it, please tell me. I really need the sleep button. Just keep in mind that the sleep button is unresponsive, and I won't be able to do a reset.
    If not, can you recommend me an ipod app that can put your ipod to sleep instead of using the button?

    Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
    Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

  • Itunes acting really weird then crashes

    When i'm using itunes to update my ipod touch and add songs sometimes it will act weird and the fonts all change and stuff disappears then itunes crashes. I have the newest version of itunes

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!
