Reorganize the Messages window in Yosemite

I would like to reorganize the messages in Messages, so the latest conversation is on the top and the older ones scroll down off the screen. Does anyone have any insight on how to do this?

Hi,
Is this set ?
Each chat that has a new Message will be moved to the top irrespective of which chat you happen to be looking at.
This has nothing to do with the order in which the chats were started if that is what you meant in which case you need the manual setting.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Why is the message window always blank for Amazon emails

I get emails from Amazon but the message window is blank
Just what i said above. I've gotten several emails from Amazon. It's always the same, the message window is always empty.
Also When I'm emailing a buddy of mine and we are going back and forth using the same original email we always change color of the font with each reply. However after several exchanges I quit getting his newest response. The message comes back to me but doesn't have his last reply. To see it I have to go to Earthlink's Webmail to get the rest of the message.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

I get emails from Amazon but the message window is blank

JUst what i said above. I've gotten several emails from Amazon. It's always the same, the message window is always empty. Also When I'm emailing a buddy of mine and we are going back and forth using the same original email we always change color of the font with each reply. However after several exchanges I quit getting his newest response. The message comes back to me but doesn't have his last reply. To see it I have to go to Earthlink's Webmail to get the rest of the message.

Why is the lower message window blank with Amazon. All other emails appear where they should.
The second problem is that the replies do show until we reach about the 6 or 7th reply and then my end stops and I have to switch to Earthlink webmail to see it. My friend at the other end, using Outlook never has the problem, only at my end using Thunderbird.l

I have rent a film and received a message from I-tunes that the film will expire in two days. Even though I have confirmed the message by pressing ok the message window is not closing anymore, hence can't use anz other program of the I-Pad 2 anymore. Does anzbody in the forum experienced anything similar? If yes what is the solution to it?

Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Then try the video in the video app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping 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 any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. 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.
If by some chance you cannot go to the home screen, force quit iTunes by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then press and hold down on the home button until iTunes closes. Then restart the iPad as described above.

I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?

Hi Ali,
Can you see the instructions in this article by Microsoft and let us know if they helped?

Firefox updated to 6.0.1 and now I cannot open it, or even reload it, without the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, You may not have the approprate permission to access the item."

This is a new problem... I've never had issues with Firefox before. I use firefox for everything at work and it is beyond inconvienent to not be able to access my websites, etc.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Messages window jumping all over the place in Yosemite?

Since upgrading to Yosemite, my Messages window (specifically, the window with the message threads in them, Cmd-0) is jumping all over my screen when clicking on the window to bring it forward or clicking off the messages window into another window or to the finder. It's not 100% reproducible, but happens maybe 25-50% of the time.
I'll be working in Safari, click on the messages window to view a chat, then click in the box to type a response and the window moves to the location of the mouse, as if I had dragged it there. Or I'll type a reply to a message, and then click onto Mail or Safari, and the window magically jumps to where I clicked, again as if I had dragged the window.
I have not experienced this behavior with any other apps or windows. Only the Messages window in the Messages app, and only since upgrading to Yosemite.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

Added to the Lounge area with a link to this Thread.
It seems that many are reporting that if the Main (chat and Interface) window is partially behind another app then clicking on it does bring it to the "front" but the next click to do anything moves the window to that spot on the Screen.
This seems to be something to do with the focus of the window.
The people I have asked and responded have said it effects new and older machine alike, including with and without Retina Displays.
Also Laptops and Desktop seem to be equally affected.
They also report that they have not found other apps that it happens to.
Asking people to delete com.apple.ichat.plist achieves nothing even though this .plist holds the windowing info.
At this point I am at a lost as to what to suggest and feel it might be beyond the scope of User to User Suggestions.
At the same time I also think the numbers are low.

Strange Message window behavior in Yosemite

This is difficult to describe, but in Yosemite, I have a problem with the Messages window moving about. Once I've changed focus to the Messages window, the next place I click will result in the Messages window moving to that location. It's almost as if drag lock is stuck on. I've checked trackpad and accessibility settings to make sure that all looks OK, and everything does.
I reported the issue when Yosemite was in Beta, and hoped the problem would be resolved with the official release, but not so much.
Anybody else seeing this? Ideas?

Hi,
I have a 2011 iMac rather than a MacBook listed in the first post.
I see in the other thread Harvtron also has a iMac which would suggest it is not Laptop related.
I don't have a Retina Screen which might have an impact of the version of Quartz used.
I have 10 other Accounts showing in separate Buddy Lists and don't have this problem.
I did not use the Public Beta at any point.
I have tried closing the Buddy List windows (it does not log them out) so that I only have the Main Chat/Interface window and still cannot replicate this.
Whilst Polls as such are banned in the Terms of Use people are encouraged to give as much info about their set as possible.
Hopefully we might be able to find something common about this.

Messages window jumping around the screen

I just updated to OS X Yosemite, and I'm having a strange issue with the Messages application window.
Here's the scenario:
I have Messages and Safari open at the same time.
I click on Safari to bring it forward and work with a page.
I then click back on Messages after receiving a message.
The message input field does not automatically get focus, so I click on it to give it focus.
The Message window "jumps" down to the bottom of the screen, with the bottom of the window behind the dock.
I can actually type my message, but I have to drag the Message window back up from behind the dock.
Any way I can "pin down" a window so it doesn't jump like this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
This is a bit of a known issue with no real fix yet.
It seems it is worse if the Messages window is grabbed right at the top edge when the change size icon then appears.
Of course you can "slide" a click as it were to that spot .
Some have said it effects trackpads more then mouse systems but I have seen no real proof of that.
I have seen it once in Terminal as well (a badly aimed click with a bit of drag that then dangled th Terminal window for a moment).
I have seen all Macs listed as suffering from this, Retina Displays, no Retina ones, Laptops and desktops and so on.

Messages window jumps around the screen

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, cause I've been asking other people who work with me and are running Yosemite and they haven't had this issue...
I've been having this strange issue where I'm in another application and once I click on the Messages window and move my mouse away, it then jumps to where ever I moved my mouse. I'm not click and dragging the window, the window just jumps to where my mouse went like half a second later. Not sure if this is some sort of bug with Yosemite [10.10.1 on a 13" Macbook Pro Retina], cause I don't remember this happening with Mavericks.
Not even sure what I could possibly do to remedy this besides trying to reinstall the operating system which I would like to avoid, but maybe someone has seen this and knows how to correct it?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
Known Issue
Messages window jumping all over the place in Yosemite? (thousands of views and 59 posts).
It has been reported to Apple but feel free http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
There is no known fix.
At present the best advice is not to click in the top bar of Messages' main window - it seems it is only that top bar that makes it happen.
