Periodically Thunderbird will fail to send a message, place it in the outbox and then start selecting multiple messages whereever I click.
Running on Windows 7 with latest Thunderbird but this has been happening for at least a year on two different Win 7 computers. Tried restarting Thunderbird which wants to force me into safe mode but does not fix it. Only a Windows restart fixes this issue. I have a third Win7 computer on which this has never happened.
Thanks for your help in fixing this. Dave ([email protected])
No, It happens once every week or two, just happened today, and I rarely am in Win safe mode. One never knows when it will happen.

My PC sporadically recognizes my iPhone. occasionally it synchs on first try. More often it recognizes the iPhone and then gives an error message that it can't recognize it. Help!
Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

Attempt to drag a message and Mail instead selects multiple messages
I used to be able to quickly grab a message and drag it to a folder. Now I have to click and hold before the message is grabbed. If I try to do it quickly, Mail instead begins selecting the message I am trying to drag and continues autoscrolling and selecting all the messages below it.
I drag messages to folders far more often than I select multiple messages, so this is not a boost to my productivity. It breaks a pretty basic user interface convention too. I hope this change doesn't make its way into the Finder!
For the record: Overall I am VERY happy with Snow Leopard.Hi Ernie,
Thanks for the reply. You're right (as was the original "helpful"-marked post) - dragging directly sideways does work to avoid changing the selection. However, I have a full vertical screen of message folders and my messages being dragged are almost always at the bottom (I don't use a preview pane), and I know for sure that I never had to drag sideways before dragging up before Snow Leopard.
The problem is even worse on Apple's 30" monitor, as you might imagine.
I simply need to be able to disable this undesired "multi-select mail items in the list with the mouse" functionality that (to my years of use) was never there in the past. I'm betting there is some preference setting I could put in, if only I knew what it was.
Thanks,

How do I download iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 6? It refuses to fully download. Towards the end of the download, I get a message that says "unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. I already have iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Many thanks.
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My email inbox is flooded with No Sender emails. I tried turning it horizontally, hitting the edit button, but it won't allow me to delete them.
Try this .... reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Tom eAlso, sorry -- one more thought:
When I run through the "Troubleshoot compatibility" it tells me that something is incompatible ("issues found: Incompatible Application"). when it asks me, "which version of Windows did this program work on before?" it doesn't give me windows 7 as an option.

Shift-scroll not selecting multiple messages
I've got two questions, but I'll post them separately to keep the threads clean...
I just got a Curve 8330 (used to have an 8830 World Edition, with Sprint in case it matters) and I'm loving it so far. But for some reason, I can't click the SHIFT key and scroll to select multiple messages like I could on the other BB. I've tried about every combination I could think of: Left shift, right shift, alt, press and don't hold, press and hold, press both and hold, alt-shift and scroll. Nothing.
Is it a software problem?
Is there some weird "don't allow shift to be used for multiple selection" setting some place.
Oh... and yes, the Shift key works just fine for other uses.
Ideas?Hi and welcome to the forums,
I have an Verizon 8330. You should be able to use either the right or left keys to press and scroll.
Not to be insulting, but to verify, the keys are located on the bottom row last key on each side of the keyboard.
They have an up arrow in silver along with an aA in each. You should be able to highlight the message to start, press either shift key, and scroll the trackball to the last selected item.
I was just verifying the procedure.
Has this not worked since you got it, or has it just started?
Please let me know,
Thanks

I have Adobe Reader X loaded on my computer. Adobe sends me automatic updates periodically. I have been told that some hackers have been sending what appears to be an Adobe update and when I select run it will load malicious software or spyware onto my computer. How would I recognize this attempt and how can I prevent it? I also have Norton protection loaded on my computer (via Comcast). I am not sure if Norton can protect me if I select run. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi peterc,
By default, Reader updates occur automatically via the Reader app itself, and this is the most secure way to receive updates. While you can choose to update manually (by choosing Help > Check for Updates), you may not always get critical updates as they're released. See Automatic updates | Acrobat, Reader. If you receive an email about needing to update Reader, you should ignore it, as that is where the malicious updates can come from. Just make sure you're letting the updates happen from within Reader, either automatically or manually.
Best,

When I send my imessage sometimes it tells me that my message is sent as a text message as oppsed to an imessage and then doesnt tell me if its delievered. It just started doing this last night.How can I fix this?
This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone. If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

HI, I just bought an iPhone 4S. Although my iPad and other iPhone 3GS connect to our server (SBS2003) I cannot get through. It checks all items in the connection and then I get the message :Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed." I Tried everything, rebooting, reset all iPhone, etc. All Apple devices work perfectly expect mine. Please advise
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message. How an I get rid of that
Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue. -

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message "System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I tried reinstalling but get the same message. I looked in my Recycle Bin for that file name but there is none there. Is this a new file that iTunes wants?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

When I compose and send a mail, it gets placed in Outbox and I get a prompt stating something like "relating the message is not supported". Even if I compose a newest age, it says the vey same thing. I just cannot send any response through my mail account. Can anyone help with a solution?
You haven't set up the SMTP (outgoing) mail server correctly. You probably didn't enter your user ID and password for the outgoing server. They are needed even though it says "optional".
