When I want to write a "NEW" message the e-mail address won't appear in the To: bar.

When I want to write a "new" message the e-mail address to whom I'm writing will not come up in the "To" bar or it won't let me type in the address either. I can reply to a message but I can't send a "New" message or "Forward" a message.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

When I try to write a new message or reply, mail becomes unresponsive

Hi hope someone can help, this is driving me nuts..
All my incoming and outgoing mail is working fine, but when I try to type a new email or reply, mail becomes unresponsive the window flashes and I am unable to type in the To, Subject or Message areas. If I click like mad in these areas sometimes it will respond and I am able to type.
I have gone though most of the fixes such as "rebuilding mailboxes" "deleting com.apple.mail.plist" etc but still the same.
Any ideas would be welcome..
thanks Rusty

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts. The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Why is my message textbox not empty when i try to write a new message

Hi all i am having this problem,
why is my message textbox not empty when I try to write a new message. How to get rid of those text in the new message.

I have this same problem.
Everytime I start a brand new text it has an old message already in the text box

Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?

I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly. How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received? And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from. My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive. I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen. I just want a vibration or audible alert.

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

When i send an e-mail out with my iCloud account it does go out but it never arrives at the e-mail address.

I am sending out e-mails from my IMC desktop from my Icloud account. It makes the swooshing sound so it sounds like it is been delievered. But sometimes it never arrives at the e-mail address. I double checked the "sent addresses" and they are correct. What is going on here? Thank you

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

Why is there always the text of an old message in the text box every time I go to write a new message?

For the last three days, when I go to write a new text/iMessage, there is the text of a message I sent recently in the text box. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work... each time I go to write a new message, there's the same old text again. does anyone know why this is happening - and what I can do to erase it and get back to a good old blank text box? Thanks for your help!

If the login box keeps popping up either your acct is disabled or you are mistyping your pw.
Go here and try out your pw and reset if necessary:

Shortcut <- keypad (pressing left directon on keypad)
or when i go to MENU>MESSAGES.NEW MESSAGE then nothing happends
i can reply or send a new message to someone by the replying option and changing target number, or using the call log but its quite anoying, and 2 social icons in menu.
i have already tried
1. reset to factory settings - FAILED to fix problem
2.reinstaling phone update - FAILED to fix problem
MODERATOR'S NOTE: Subject line changed.

you need to do a master reset on the phone but before you do that make sure to backup you files without the settings and applications on your comp using the ovi suite bec master reset will remove eveything that you have on your phone memory. after the backup dial this code on your phone *#7370# lock code 12345. if your phone is turned on again try now to send a new text message. if it will allow you now, restore now you backup file but dont include the settings.

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.

Hello all,
        This is sateesh...I had installed sap xi in my own P.C and In sap XI when i want to write proxies program it is asking ABAP key...
        But i am not having the market place i.d...so any one can help me out in solving the problem...
        If any one can give me the access key so that i can access ABAP from the sap xi....
Thanking all.
Sateesh.J

Jakkampudi,
You need to write the code in the application system ie., in R3 or BW or SRM etc. Also you need to have the developer key access to do it. If you dont have then try to create as a local object so that it will not ask for the key. If it is local object you will not able to transport to QA. But if you are practising you can take this option.

Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
<br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox
