Reply button has no effect, can't reply

I posted a question about Final Cut 7 and got an excellent reply. However, after logging in to offer my thanks and more information about the answer, the reply button seemed dead to the world. I can clip the reply button but nothing happens. Anyone with an ideas for me?

You have been graced with a known glitch that seems to persist after many months. If I may offer your WorkFlow as I am guessing you have performed it
You visit an ASC forum
you log in
you navigate around
you post happily
with or without closing all your ASC tabs, you allow a period of 30+ minutes to pass with NO hyperlink activity - this means links that onHover, show a URL in the activity bar - NOT a JavaScript link like 'Reply' or 'Like' or 'Load More'...
you get an email notice of the reply to which you wish to reply
you click the link to do so in the email
you are directed to that post
you click the 'Reply' JavaLink and it just sits there as you describe
If I am off base here, just ignore the rest.
What is happening is your session is being 'Timed-Out' with no notification (with a secure connection to your bank's site or somesuch, it would likely TimeOut WITH a notification). The known TimeoutLength is right at 30 minutes. The timer is reset in its very own cookie each time a hyperlink navigation is performed - JavaScript links do NOT reset the timer.
My workaround is to open a forum main page, Using ASC for example, and applying a browser extension that reloads that page on that tab every 20 minutes with 100% success in staying logged in and 0% experiencing your described issue - believe me, it happened to me often and the reloader is the only solution. Oddly, IF you have not been timed out after having been here logged in - no visit to ASC in a browser session and click the email reply link > login = all is right with the world.
If interested:
SafariTabReloader is tested and issue free, as is
ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically" for Firefox
I would guess that other browsers may have similar goodies available, if they are extensible
Barring that, you must intentionally navigate via hyperlink to avoid this
hope this helps

How do you adjust the earpiece volume on my 5s, the button has no effect? Is it as I suspect, the phone is faulty or am I missing a trick somewhere?

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

Can't load any websites. I do not get any "error messages", the "enter" button has no effect in the address bar. Works fine in the FF search box and in IE.

Entering a URL in the address bar and hitting enter does nothing. Neither the "enter" button or "address bar arrow", for going to the website, function. Website does not load and no error messages appear. "Enter" button works fine in the FF search box and in IE, so it's not my keyboard.
Tried most of the recommended fixes under the "Error loading websites" article with the exception of "DNS refetching", as typing "about:config" in the location bar does no good as the "enter button" won't function. I've removed and re-added FF back into the windows firewall, removed ZoneAlarm from my system, edited proxy settings, deleted and reinstalled FF several times. NOTHING WORKS!!! I'm a die hard FF fan and this is KILLING me. Please HELP!!!

You have a lot of information in packed in the "More system details..." (in the right-hand column), where it looks like you found a solution. If not take a look at "Problematic Extensions" the AVG Free installation of their "'''AVG Free Search'''" can cause such problems. Directions to fix that are specific and involve reinstalling AVG Free without the Link Scanner component.

Remove all apps from multitasking bar. Double click Home button then tap and hold an icon and tap on little x on every app. Then reset. Hold down Home and Power button until Apple logo appears.

When replying to an email, how can my reply be permanently fixed to be at the top of the email and not at the bottom?

Everytime I reply to an email, my reply is at the bottom. My clientele, looks for a response at the top of the email. Is there a way to permanently fix this? It is a nuisance to cut and paste at the top of the email each time I reply!

From the Menu Bar select Tools-Account Settings-Composition and Addressing
Set the reply option to Above the Quote
No menu bar showing? Press the alt key.

Holding remote buttons has no effect.

Hello,
I'm seeing some strange behavior with the remote. Regardless of which button is being held the ATV responds as if it's a single press. Unable to scroll, rearrange main menu icons, or jump to the main menu from anywhere. I've tried restarting. Is there anything else I should try? I noticed there are some new channels, as if we just recently had an update. Is anyone else seeing the same behavior? Thanks.

My send button has disappeared. Can't send e-mails

There is a proposed solution on help, but
it did not work

Did you lose the entire toolbar with send on it or just the send button itself?
Open a Write window.
Do you have a menu bar with File-Edit-View etc? If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the menu bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Send is on the composition toolbar.
If you have the composition toolbar but are missing the send button, right click the composition toolbar and select Customize.
Find the Send button in the dialog box that opens and drag it back in place.

Can only open emails by using the reply button

Hello Mail Program Wizards!
I seem to be sending and receiving emails fine, but can not open sent or new email. I can open an email only if I select it and then hit the reply button. Then the email is displayed in the body of the new email. If I double click on an email, it shows up as if it has been read even though it wasn't even opened.
I'm running OSX 10.4.8, Mail program is version 2.1
I have a POP account and my service provider is Verizon DSL.
Thanks!

When you select a message from the list in your inbox the message contents should be displayed in the viewing pane below the list. If you cannot see the viewing pane find the little dot in the middle of the bottom bar of the window and drag it up into the list area.

Can not type in the body of email program & reply button does not work.

I installed 10.4 (Family Pack) on my G4 400 and after a few days the email program does not work as it originally did. The reply button no longer works. (It did for a few days.) Additionally on a new mail or mail forward. I can not type in the body of the email after the first word. It just beebs at me. (It did work as normal for a few days.) I can still receive and can send mail. I have also installed this Family pack on my iMac flat panel G4 and have no mail problems. That mac is about 200 mile from this location. Before I installed 10.4 I was using 10.3.9 and mail was ok. I use high speed internet with the iMac and use dialup with the G4.

I've lost track of what computer you have where, and I don't understand why you keep installing buggy OS X 10.4.0 on systems that worked fine under OS X 10.3.9, without being able to update to install system updates afterwards.
That said, you may want to look at this web site for general Mac OS X troubleshooting tips:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
In particular, since I know of other people with the same problem as you that fixed it deleting caches, you may want lo look these two pages:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
Side effects of System cache cleaning
In addition to some utilities mentioned there for cache cleaning, you may also consider OnyX, if for no other reason, because it's free:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Although utilities such as OnyX allow you to clean many caches with just a click of the mouse, I'd recommend to be as selective as possible and clean them up one at a time, to try to identify which exactly is causing your problems, if any. This information, in turn, could be useful for other users. I'm pretty sure some Mail problems are related to cache issues, but I don't yet know which cache exactly is the culprit here (since it was not the Mail cache, I would say that the fonts cache should be next in the list).

My ipod is able to receive new mail and I can read it but I can't respond. the reply icon has disappeared

My ipPod Touch is able to receive new mail and I can read it but I can't respond or forward. The reply icon has disappeared. I am also not able to compose a new message. It's like the whole bottom line on the screen has disappeared. Mail has worked fine until yesterday. How do I get this capability back?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Mail>the accont and turn it off and turn it back on
- Note the following will delete all mail already download on the iPod:
Go to Settings>Mail>the account and delete the account from the iPod and reenter the settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPhoto problem. LarryHN, thanks, but I can't find a "reply" button. raybd

discuusion started yesterday. thanks LarryHn, but I can't find a reply button. raybd

I have just completed Library First Aid > rebuild database. I still have some important photos that are there in thumbnail but don't load.
Ray, you said, that you did the "Rebuild" from the "First Aid"?
What in layman's terms does "Master folder" mean? And "rebuild"? And "link"?
Your iPhoto library - in layman's terms" stores database files, that describe the edits done to your photos, and the relations between photos, how they relate to events albums, books, other products.
For each photo exist an original image file, that is the file you imported, a preview of the edited version, and a thumbnail to be displayed in the Browser. When you edit a photo, iPhoto will store the sequence of edits so far - enhance the contrast, straighten the horizon, etc. When you want to display the image or edit it further, iPhoto will look for the original image file (it should be stored in the folder "Masters" inside the library package). Then it will create a copy of the original file and apply all edits to this original file and display it in the browser as the edited version. If the originals are missing or iPhoto cannot find them, editing will be impossible and you will see only exclamation points, when you try. The database files describe, which edited version, thumbnails, and original files belong together. That is the "link" I have been referring to.
Rebuilding recreates the iPhoto library from the originals and the edited versions in the iPhoto library package and tries to pair them again with the thumbnails you are seeing in the browser.
Ipresume that I have to buy a Photo Library Manager, or at least download a free trial. Might that introduce yet more complications?
iPhoto library manager has been known to be able to rebuild the library in quite a few cases, when the First
Aid failed. You can do this with the free version.
Only, if your originals are really missing, this will not help.
Then try, if you can at least drag the thumbnails from the iPhoto window to the Desktop, to save the preview images.

I cannot get the toggle link to the business email to stay up long enough to click it. The same thing happens when I try to hit the toggle reply "to sender" or "to all" dropdown on the side of the "reply" button. What can I do to fix this?

Clicking on my e-mail link, [email protected], loads the business side link right underneath. I click on my e-mail address, the business side flashes on the screen, but again when I try to click it, the whole thing disappears.
The same thing is happening with the "reply" button drop down menu for "reply to sender" and "reply to all" menu items.

It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
So the steps would be:
- Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
- Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
- Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.
