Mail vanishes while typing

Hi,
I'm running the last pre-Intel Mac Mini--when I type a few lines (say four) of text the mail window vanishes--has not sent or saved. I can send short e-mails o.k.
Any ideas?

Darin, are you using a corrupted font?
Try validating all fonts in Font Book and see if that helps.

  • Apple Mail syncing while typing, multiple updates on BB for same message.

    First of all, thanks for looking and helping. Second, it's probably my fault as I am a tweaker often to my detriment. So, with disclaimers out of the way, here's what is happening:
    I have a MacBook Pro and my mail is IMAP from my GMail account. When I respond to an email on the Apple, using Apple Mail, WHILE I AM TYPING, the BB retrieves a NEW email with the latest installment of the email!!! Here's an example that just happened:
    Open email, start replying... "Paul, I wanted to explain"
    BB announces new mail with that sentence
    I continue typing... "why I like pasta"
    BB announces new email with "Paul, I wanted to explain why I like pasta"
    Etc., etc., etc.
    So, my work around it to go to gmail.com and write the email within that program as opposed to using Apple Mail on laptop.
    My BB is Tour 9630 with 4.7.1   and the Gmail app is 2.0.7, if it matters.
    The Apple is running OS X 10.6.2 and Apple Mail is 4.2
    Oh, Bluetooth is not turned on on either device.
    Let me know if you need any further info. Thanks again for looking!
    Peace.
    Solved!

    I have the same problem.
     Just bought the MAC book Pro and while typing on Apple mail everything is syncing on my Blackberry,...This will go on until I finish the mail..Depending on the length of the mail, I can heave more than 15 copies of the same mail that is redundant and constantly updating. Frustrating. I did unchecked the box under preferences, mail box behavior but nothing happened. Has anyone figured out what is the solution?
    Thanks

  • HT1349 My ipad2 closes the mail app while I am typing an email to send. Happens nearly every time.

    My ipad2 closes the mail app while I am typing an email to send. Happens nearly every time.

    First of all quit the mail app and all of the apps that have frozen. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Close the other apps the same way. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    What I would try next is to delete the email on the server in your web mail account using Safari or another browser. Then when you go back to the mail app - if it opens ok - and the if mesaage is still there in the inbox - swipe on the mesaage - left to right - in the list on the left side - and hopefully the red delete button will pop up. Hit delete to remove it from the inbox. Do the same thing when you go to your trash folder in that email account - swipe the message to delete it.

  • C3-00 password displayed while typing in Mail/Comm...

    Hi,
    I have noticed something in the nokia c3-00 mail/communities apps. While logging in to any accounts and entering the password the entire text of the password is displayed till u stop typing it for a second or so.
    Usually while typing in a password in any app for the various accounts EACH letter is displayed as a '*' asterix symbol so that its wont be visible to others around u. In this phone it only happens after u've typed the entire password making it visible to everyone around.
    This is one of the main reasons im reluctant to check my mail while travelling as there are many ppl around.
    Is there an option to fix this issue? Thanks!
    Stephen

    any suggestions/resolutions????

  • Text vanishes midway typing in mail/text/notes and it goes to home screen.

    Text vanishes midway typing in mail/text/notes after uptading iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.1, and it goes to home screen.

    Thanks, I just tried that, no luck. I had already tried regular power off and reboot. It just goes off randomly, sometimes after just one word or if I am lucky I am able send out a short message before it goes off. It goes off typing in any of the apps.

  • How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

    On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing.  I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming.  There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone.  There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge.  In a text message you can.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Edit
    I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
    So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
    Apple needs to incorporate a  'hide keyboard' button

  • My iPhone freezes while typing

    Hello
    My iphone 6 plus freezes while typing. doesn't matter if I'm typing a text message or a URL the problem is everywhere. My collegue at my work has the same problem. I can still continue to type when it freezes, and when it unfreeze the letters are filled in like there's no tomorrow. It all started with iOS 8
    It doesn't matter if it is Swedish layout or English layout on the keyboard.
    best regards Jonas

    Hello Lim,
    To get in the horizontal and enlarged keyboard of the iPhone, simply hold the iPhone or iDevice in a horizontal manner. The gyroscope in the device will automatically sense this and will make the keyboard horizontal.
    P.S You could tell us the app you are using unless you are using the the default SMS/ Mail app, because some apps do not support the horizontal keyboard.

  • While typing characters disappear

    While typing an email or entering search text in Safari after about 3-4 letters are type they start disappearing or the word totally disappears.
    This is sporadic, and can not make it happen.
    Restarting does not seem to fix the problem.
    What do I look for ?
    MacBook Core 2 2Ghz 10.6

    Since the last Safari update I have run into the same issue a few times on my iMac.  Never had the issue prior to this update.  I just quit Safari and relaunch it and it works properly, at least for a while.  As for th eissue happening while using mail, are you making sure you are not touching the track pad while typing. I have seen a lot of people do that by accident.

  • 'Check Spelling While Typing' does not work for any applications

    Earlier I had a problem with misspelled words underlined but when I right-click it does not offer spelling suggestions.
    Now, none of my applications underline misspelled words. Even if I select the option to "Check Spelling While Typing" it does not change anything. This applies to all applications (Mail, TextEdit, EverNote, Firefox, etc).

    Update: Inexplicably the underline for misspelled words now works but now when I right-click for corrections it shows 'No Guesses Found' for any word.

    My IPad freezes while typing emails. Touchscreen keyboard as well as Bluetooth keyboard. How do I fix this?

    It may certainly matter that the account is IMAP. Try the following variation of the procedure to re-create the index:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that account may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • After upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

  • I have a problem while typing in my MacBook pro. it is showing different characters when i type. for example: qw`e§r]t[y=   this is how when we type "qwerty|" can anyone help me pls?

    I have a problem while typing in my MacBook pro. it is showing different characters when i type. for example: qw`e§r]t[y=   this is how when we type "qwerty|" can anyone help me pls?

    You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
    But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
    Good luck,

  • 2 yrs worth of music on my ipod nano 5th gen just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks.

    Most of the music I've put on my ipod nano 5th gen in the last 2 years just vanished while I was trying to add four new tracks. Stuff from before that seems to be still there (I add stuff manually, not sync, and the ipod wasn't full). It was a bit glitchy as soon as I plugged it in to update - threw up a few error messages, decided to verify my ipod a couple of times, After that, once or twice itunes seemed to lose the ipod completely, although as far as the laptop was concerned it was definitely still connected, so i went for the 'safe to remove hardware' option and reconnected...
    I'm guessing somewhere in the midst of whatever was going on there, something got confused or corrupted, but I have no way to tell what... Ipod seems to think it is using less of its capacity now, but I don't know whether to believe it or not!
    Can I get this stuff back? It's not just stuff I bought from itunes, either - things I put on from cds have gone too. I have all the music either backed up or on cds, but I'm not in the same country as my cds right now - also rebuilding all of my playlists and trying to remember what went where is going to be a pain! Is there a quicker way than just doing it all over again?

  • Keyboard lag while typing

    I was wondering if anyone else experienced a lag in the on screen keyboard while typing in certain apps? I have an app that lets me text my friends but as I try to type I can type out a whole sentence or two before the words on appear on screen. Does anyone know why this happens or how I might fix it? In advance thank you for any and all help

    I've had this happen a time or two on my iPad. Usually quitting the app and restarting it solves the problem.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • How Do I Hide Mouse Pointer While Typing In Firefox

    Only in firefox, and only recently am I having problems typing anything through firefox, as the slightest touch of my laptops touch pad causes the mouse pointer to jump along with my typing cursor. This is causing major issues as I conduct all y business emails through firefox. If this cant be helped I will have to start using Internet Explorer Again. EVERY other program I use auto hides the mouse while typing, Except FF....
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, but I believe a week or so ago

    I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
    Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.
