Reply doesn't work on certain msgs

Very strange - I have been using Mail since it was released with very few problems, and just this week the Reply and Reply All buttons (as well as the menu items) won't work on some messages and will for others. No way to Reply - the button or menu darkens for a second but no message is created. No pattern except that it is consistent - I can't go back to a non-working message later and have it work.
Started around the time I installed iTunes 7, Security and QT update, although it occurs with some older mails as well. I ran Disk Utility and DiskWarrior, cleaned caches with MainMenu, had Mail rebuild mailboxes, even reinstalled Mail 2.0. Same issue on same mails.
Thanks, Jim

It could be that the latest updates weren't installed properly. I suggest reinstalling them. You should also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you're using:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.
If the problem persists, post back with your observations after doing the above. Reinstalling the system shouldn't be necessary, and almost certainly useless in your case.

  • The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't work on certain web pages.

    == Issue

    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't seem to work on certain pages. On clicking this button, the focus stays on the same page and does not move to the previous page. The previous page does not appear even in the right-click context menu of the Back button. However, I am able to go back one page using Internet Explorer.

    Try to open the right-click context menu of the Back button and see if you can go back further.
    The current active entry in that list has a bullet in front of it.
    If you hover an entry in that session history list then it shows the direction by adding an arrow at the left.
    You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

  • Firefox doesn't work on certain websites

    I am continually running into sites that don't work well with Firefox. I tend to think it's because of the rapid-fire changes FF makes to itself, but nevertheless, it's annoying. The sites all tell me to "use Chrome" as a solution, and most times, that works. The thing is, I don't like Chrome. I have FF set up the way I want it. It is my browser of choice, despite the fact that it is losing users to Chrome every day. I don't think I will ever switch, but I really need it to work consistently. I'm having to use the portable version now because the desktop version doesn't work for me anymore. After the latest update, Flash sites won't load half the time. They too work in Chrome.
    This time it is redgage.com. Most of the features only work if I use the right click and open it in a new tab. I've tried safe mode.
    What is the solution to this? I don't have time to keep making adjustments to the program and coming in here to get no answers, and everyone saying they have no problems. SERIOUSLY? That's not what all my friends who switched to Chrome are saying. I feel like I'm losing my right arm.

    Yes, every link on RedGage is broken. To open one in the same tab, you have to drag and drop it on the address bar.
    But I think it's their fault. In the Browser Console:
    13:46:52.262 ReferenceError: event is not defined MainViewModel.js
    Looks like a rookie mistake in this script:
    self.trigger = function (modelView, evt) {
    var target;
    util.hidePopup();
    '''if (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey || event.which == 2) {'''
    return true;
    if (evt.preventDefault) {
    evt.preventDefault();
    target = $(evt.target);
    } else
    target = $(evt);
    var url = target && $(target).closest('a').attr('href') || $('.filter li.active a').attr('href');
    if (url)
    self.do_load_url(url);
    return false;
    In the bolded line, "event" is a typo and should be "evt". Maybe if you point them to this thread they'll fix it. Even if other browsers work this way.

  • Macbook suddenly doesn't work on certain routers

    I've had my macbook for about 2 years, and suddenly it doesn't work on my router at my apartment. The macbook says it's connected to the router, but the homepage never loads. This also happens at my college (i doubt there's a problem with BOTH networks). The thing is, my macbook will connect and work at the local coffee shop just fine.
    It's also not a problem with Firefox alone, so I figured something is wrong with my macbook. I tried resetting the PRAM and some other "quick fixes" after multiple google searches (i could spend days researching little fixes).
    I haven't found anyone with quite the same problem as me. I was wondering if someone had a similar problem and fix, or if I should call up support.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

  • Mail 2.0 Problems Reply doesn't work, hitting space bar takes cursor away,

    Just upgraded to Tiger today, boy I wished I hadn't! Major mail problems. The 'Reply' only works when it feels like.
    Also, I am not able to type in the main body of the message. Typing is intermittent - it allows me to type a few characters, but as soon as you hit the space bar, the cursor disappears. You then have to click back in the main body of the message to make the cursor reappear again.
    I've tried removing the plist and Mail folder but doesn't help. Any suggestions?
    This has been brought up in this topic, though with no answer posted:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1202184
    Thanks,

    This particular problem in Mail is usually caused by some LaunchServices cache corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset LaunchServices. The notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved.
    Resetting Launch Services
    The following article also describes the side effects of cache cleaning:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    The following article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner.
    In addition to the utilities mentioned above, you may also consider OnyX, if for no other reason, because it's free. If you want to try OnyX, after installing it, do this (be sure to read the articles about the side effects of cache cleaning first):
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
    4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you've already done them using other utilities.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, you may try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.
    Please let me know whether you were able to solve the problem, what worked for you and what didn't.

  • After 10.4.6 upgrade, sound doesn't work with certain apps.

    Hi,
    I upgraded recently to 10.4.6 and I've noted that there's no sound at all in certain applications. At the beginning, some games didn't work: Age of Empires II, Age of Mythology and Doom (curiously, I can hear music but no sounds in all of them). But later on I saw that the problem affects Virtual PC as well (approximate translation from original Spanish message): "Virtual PC can not reproduce sounds - Virtual PC couldn't start Macintosh audio system. This problem may be solved with a more recent version of Mac OS".
    In addition, I neither hear sound in streaming services like YouTube.com.
    Rest of the sound (system sounds, music, movies and so on) work perfectly.
    Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards.

    alfonsator,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4) may provide an answer for your question.

  • Ipod touch 4th generation, screen doesn't work in certain apps.

    Hi i have a Ipod touch 4th generation. I have somewhat of a weird problem, at least i think it is. My ipod touch screen works really well just opening apps on the springboard any where on the screen. Also in certain apps I have no problems, but in others it seems that it will not let me click on buttons toward the bottom. I found this odd because in other apps i have no problem and everything seems responsive.  I have done some of my own troubleshooting and apps like google maps and the email app work fine. But other apps such as fatbooth, facebook and instagram I cannot touch icons anywhere near the bottom they just dont registar. Any help?

    Sounds like a hardware issue. Your screen digitizer may need to be replaced.

  • Video doesn't work on certain sites like CNN, Crackle, ESPN, CBS, and others. It still works on YT.

    On CNN there's just a white space where the headline video normally is, and there's just a black space in the videos section. In Crackle there's just a black space when I click to watch a video. On CBS the little eye logo keeps processing over white space and doesn't load. One curious thing I noted is that the login and help buttons don't respond on CNN, even though I can navigate within the site

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Otherwise, you can reinstall Mozilla Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

  • FF7 Back button doesn't work in certain websites

    On some websites, the back button (clicking the back arrow or using keyboard shortcut) doesnt work. I looks like it wants to, but stays on the same page, no matter how many times I click it.
    And it works fine on a lot of other sites.
    FF 7.0.1 as default browser, Vista Business SP2.
    It's consistent on seacoastonline.com. I've tried disabling all plugins and extensions, running in safe mode, renaming places.sqlite file.

    Any entries in the session history of that tab?
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens

  • WHERE clause doesn't work in certain column

    Hi All,
    I try to filter mysql database using WHERE clause...everything seem working until i found there are 3 column that i can't use for WHERE clause query. When i use that columns to filter, there's no data appear in the table but the other column is working. Attached is my VI and mysql database. I really don't know what cause it happen. Any help would be very appreciated

    Have you tried the select from whatever SQL command interpreter that MySQL provides?
    It needs to be in the form SELECT * FROM issue WHERE 'condition'. If you want to get all the rows where person 1 is Harry then you would write
    SELECT * FROM issue WHERE person1 = 'Harry'
    The way your VI is written you will get one of two commands.
    SELECT * FROM issue WHERE 'All' or SELECT * FROM issue WHERE 'WIWI'
    That may return all rows if a string resolves to true. I don't use MySQL so I wouldn't know.
    Disregarding LabVIEW for a moment, what is the SQL command or commands that you want your VI to send to the ADO execute VI? That might help figure out what it is you want to do.

  • Split Rule doesn't work for certain items

    Hi experts,
    In TPVS, I set up split rule with split qty 1 and no item split.  The rest of setting is like default value.  However, in VS01, some item qty is more than 1.  I check the detail. There is exception, but don't know what it is.  Is there any way to know the exception detail?
    I know the freight unit can not be automatically executed when fixed line exists or the freight unit is created manually.  I check the freight unit type (icon), it's @39@.  It should not be manually created unit.  There is way to figure out whether it's fixed line.  Is there any one can give me some idea about that?
    When we enter VS01, the system will build freight unit based on split rule.  However, if we do not exit vs01 and re-run VSR optimization many times, the freight unit will be come bigger and bigger but still within vehicle capacity if we choose merge planned item option in split rule.  The result might not be right.  For example, system merge 2 items together for vehicle A and next item might merge these 2 items with another 1 item for vehicle B.  If capacity of vehicle A is 2, system won't never choose vehicle A if the FU is 3 after the previous optimization run.  Is that true?  Does that mean we need to exit vs01 everytime for each optimization run?
    Thanks for your advice,
    Jessie.

    HI Jessie,
    Regarding the first issue, I hope you have properly maintained the unit of measure in splirt profile. I would recommend that you try performing manual split using the same split rule. This might tell you the exact reason.
    I can not comment about 2nd issue.
    Regarding the 3rd issue, the problem you say seems to be right. I have also experienced the same. My only query is that when you run the optimizer, the system will plan the shipments & will assign the freight units to the truck. Now if you have selected 'Fix Temporary Shipments' in optimizer profile, it will not modify the existing planned shipments in new optimizer run & hence will not merge new item with existing merged item.
    I hope my understanding of the issues is correct. You can reply back in case you have more queries.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Brower doesn't work on certain websites

    Hello,
    I've had my Macbook for a few years now and nothing major has happened to it before. Just last night my internet was fine, and this morning, when I opened up Firefox, the usual websites I checked wouldn't work (facebook, google, youtube, yahoo, etc.). I connect through the network using wireless at home by the way. At first I thought something was wrong with my Firefox, so I removed firefox and loaded in Safari, same problem, no websites would load, sometimes it would load but not correctly (only showing texts and some pictures, no background and other html data).
    So my solution was to restart my Charter modem, didn't work. I restarted my router, didn't work. I went onto my desktop computer and everything in the browsers were fine. I opened up another internet connection and allowed my Macbook to connect to that, and things started to work. I was able to go onto other websites, but still not the ones that I initially tried. I went back onto the original setup, now all the websites are working again, except the ones I tried initially (facebook, google, yahoo, youtube, etc.) Everything else works fine but those websites.
    I figure that I need to reset something in my network settings?
    Somebody please help me out.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Unless you were changing network settings just before the problem happened, don't change any network settings until you do all of the following:
    1) Restart your modem +(You did this)+
    2) Restart your wireless router +(You did this)+
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Clear your browser cache, and Quit the brower
    5) Reload the browser and try the affected pages again
    Did you download and install any recent Apple updates (Safari 5.0.4)?
    Are you using the new Firefox version 4 released yesterday?
    Were there error messages for the pages that did not load?
    So what could have happened?
    A local Internet Service Provider may lose their connection to the rest of the internet for a period of time.
    Your ISP's primary Domain Name Server may be offline. This is like losing the 'telephone directory' that matches names like facebook.com to a DNS address like 204.74.66.132
    Some event such a tornado or an earthquake makes web servers go offline suddenly.
    There may be malicious 'denial of service' attacks on popular website.
    And very rarely, many Domain Name Servers get a faulty update, and much of the internet simply disappears until the problem is fixed.
