View of previous messages blocked.

When I type longer SMSes or compose MMSes, it blocks the view of previous messages. Is there a workaround for this? If I'm right it wasn't like this in earlier versions of Messages. Sorry if it's already been asked, I tried looking but there are 3k threads.

It is not intended to block SMS/MMS, however this behavior is new to the v3.x software. I know of no method to change its behavior. If you want to recommend a change, you can send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

You can download the latest Flash Player here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

How do we view videos on our Mac computer? We keep getting the message, "Blocked plug-in".

We have a Mac desktop computer. We suddenly can't watch videos. We keep getting the message, "Blocked plug-in". Please help.
Thank you

That is because Apple shut down Flash Player due to a security alert.
You need to download the latest version.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Move to previous message instead of more recent message?

I just switched from Thunderbird to Mail, and was wondering about the order in which you can read messages (after deleting one.) In Mail, I see that when I delete a message the viewer automatically takes me to the next--the most recent--message. Is there a way to change this so that it moves back to the previous message? I've tried changing the sort order to read old to new, and it still moves the viewer to the most recent message.
Thanks!

For me, it's been automatic. When I go into Messages to text someone who is enabled for iMessage, it sends the message as an iMessage, whether I want it to or not.
The first time my husband sent me an iMessage, it looked like it was sending it as a text, but after it sent, the bubble was blue (instead of green), and the text input bar said "iMessage" instead of "Text Message."
So from what I've seen, it just happens if the other person is set up for it. I think you'll probably have to turn off the iMessage feature altogether (which it looks like some other people have mentioned).

How do I get to the NEXT or PREVIOUS message in my mailbox when reading mai

I know this may sound stupid, but unless I am missing something here, I cannot find a way to scroll down (or up) to messages when I am reading my mail. I have to close the message I am presently reading to reveal the full inbox and then select the next (or previous) mail message. I have been running OSX in all of its incarnations/updates and have never seen this sort of upgrade or feature to Mail (presently running 2.0.5). It is not an option either with an icon or in any pulldown menu. I can certainly do it in Outlook and AOL, but no MacMail.
what gives? (and my apologies if this has already been beaten to death on this board)
thanks

With my large monitor, this is not a problem, but also having an iBook, I understand your question.
With my iBook, my method would be to look at the message in the message preview pane, and then double-click from the list to open it up in a separate window. In this fashion, F9 to invoke Expose, will let you toggle between both (or more) windows.
To transfer from the full screen view, click on Message in the Menubar, and choose Move To or Copy To from the resulting contextual menu, and then choose the target mailbox. Or toggle to the other mail window, select one or more messages in the message list, and control-click or right-click and choose Move To or Copy To and select the target mailbox. I find this much more useful (and less prone to mistakes) than drag and drop.

What is the Keyboard Shortcut for Next/Previous Message in Lion Mail?

Using the 'full screen' message viewer (rather than the preview pane) how do I progress to an older/newer message in a folder without closing the window?

So Entourage can go to the previous message? How do you do that?
I can't stand that Mail always goes to the next newest message after deleting.
Every other email program I've ever seen (including Entourage - see below) can do this. Why can't Apple? I don't want to touch the mouse most of the time because it really slows down work to move ones hands back and forth. I did a quick web search and found these shortcuts for all the major programs. If you know of any other program besides Apple Mail that doesn't have this, let me know.
Until then, if Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Sparrow, Postbox, and Thunderbird have had this, what's Apple's problem adding it?

IMAC Email - Moving to Next or Previous Message

I am a new iMAC and iPhone user, and am using Apple Mail on both devices.
On my iPhone, after I view 1 particular message, I have the option to hit an "UP" or "DOWN" arrow, to move to the NEXT or PREVIOUS email message to view. However on the iMAC, when I view a Mail Message in Full Screen mode, I can't seem to find a way to move to the NEXT or PREVIOUS email message, unless I close down the current message, and then open the next message. I can easily scroll thru multiple messages when using the "preview panel" to view the contents of a single email, below the list of items in my Inbox, however some longer emails are better read full-screen, but is there a way to move to the NEXT or PREVIOUS message when viewing full-screen.....If it is a good feature for the iPhone, then I would suspect it should be a good feature for the iMAC as well.
Does anyone know if this is possible and what keystroke or shortcut might allow this, if there isn't a button on the toolbar to support this?
Thanks,

Previous Messages are highlighted with a line on the side

I have inadvertently changed the way a message is viewed when opened. A line now appears on the side of each previous message. I must have set this feature by mistyping and hitting a key board short cut. However I cannot find a way to revert to a view without the lines.
Mail help does not address this feature. Can anyone advise please?

It's the 1st version of Pages I've had on my computer.
Can't delete them as they scroll through them at a rapid pace. The longer I've had the problem the more blank pages it scrolls through.

Next message/previous message - how to? new user

I'm new to Macs. So far I like it.
When reading an email message, can I click forward or backward through the messages in that folder? I don't see this option/feature.
I see "delete", "junk", "reply", "reply all", "forward", "print". I'm looking for something like "next message" and "previous message", so I can just click forward and backward through the inbox.
Thanks

Hello Ryan.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to take pictures of the screen in Mac OS X.
To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.
You can use the Grab application to take a picture of all or part of your computer screen.
Open Grab (located in /Applications/Utilities) and choose a command from the Capture menu.
Selection takes a picture of a part of the screen that you select.
Window takes a picture of a window you select.
Screen takes a picture of the entire screen.
Timed Screen lets you start a timer and activate part of the screen (such as a menu), and then takes a picture of the screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
To see information about a screen shot you've taken, such as the size and depth, choose Edit > Inspector.
To save a screen shot, choose File > Save. Grab saves screen shots as files in TIFF format. You can use the Preview application to view these files and export them to other formats, such as JPEG.

Next message / previous message shortcuts?

On my Outlook account at work, I can move through my messages by opening one message, and then clicking the "next message / previous message" arrows on the taskbar. The new message opens directly in place of the previous one.
In Mail, I have to close one message, return to the Inbox and then open the next message. I've looked through these posts, and in the OS X Tiger Missing Manual and can't find a similar keystroke/button to navigate directly from the message window.
I hate to acknowledge that MS EVER has a simpler, more efficient way to do anything, but I may have to make an exception here! Anyone got a clue?

I confront the message "blocked plug-in" on most included windows of safari browser internet sites on my old Macbook running snow leopard 10.6.8. Adobe flash updates are disconnected by Safari before they can be downloaded. Any cure for this?

I don't know if this question has already posted but if not here is my problem: I repeatedly get a blank screen except for the error message "blocked plug in" when browsing in safari and trying to view web page included videos. Is this an Adobe flash player rejection? I keep getting Adobe flash player update messages but when I click download this is blocked by Safari or OS security. Any user-fix out there?

Which Safari? Which Flash? I'm running Safari 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) w/Flash Player 13.0.0.214 and am not getting any of those messages. To get the latest Flash Player, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, download the latest version, and install it.

HT1338 I am getting a message: Blocked Plug-In

I am getting a message: Blocked Plug-in and can't view items on Safari. How do I fix this?

Click the 'Blocked plug-in' text and follow the instructions in the dialog box which appears.
(79395)

I can't get on line when the message "Blocked plug-in" appears.

I can't get on-line when the message "Blocked plug-in" appears. How do I get rid of this?

If you actually can get online on some websites in Safari, but are unable to view the websites that depend upon the use of Adobe Flash Player, such as YouTube, then the problem is an outdated Adobe Flash Player version, and you need to update it.
, System Preferences, Other, Flash Player, Advanced, Updates, Check Now

How do I view an email message source

How do I view an email message source? Someone sent me an email showing my email as the sender. If I try to block the sender I am afraid I will be blocking myself. I am also afraid that whoever sent that email will send to all of the email addresses in my address book. the people I know will think that the email came from me when it came from someone using my address I.D. How or what should I do?

Could you check your actual Firefox version here:
Help > About Firefox
The forum recorded version 10, which is obsolete and insecure, so if that is correct, you should update ASAP. If there is something holding you back from updating, what is it? There may be a solution.
If you do have the current version of Firefox, this article might help: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]].

Mac mail auto closing mail and cycles to previous message

My MacBook has gone haywire! When i open an email, it closes it immediately and cycles back to the previous message, or back to the folders, or both. anyone got any ideas? too weird

Mail has Smart Addresses that will display the name and email address under Preferences > Viewing, but your issue sounds like a different issue.
Did you setup an outlook.com alias in Outlook.com when it made the transition? If not, add an alias and see if that helps. You can also test sending from the outlook.com alias to see if the results are as expected.
For example if your Hotmail email is [email protected] then setup an alias [email protected]
If that fails, test in a new User.
Create a new User in System Preferences.
Log into your new User.
You can skip the Apple ID setup unless you are testing iCloud.
Select Don't Sign in > Continue > Skip
Open Mail and enter your Hotmail account.
Does the problem go away?
