When typing an email, a draft autosave feature locks up my wife's computer. Can it be disabled?

My wife has a desktop computer using XP and Firefox as a browser. The machine seems to lock up for several minutes when "autosave" functions to save the email as a draft. This happens while typing data. In other words, she is not asking for the document to be saved. I don't find anything about this under "options", so I don't know how to disable the function.

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Are you touching the Touchpad with your palms/hands while typing?
Turn off the touchpad by pressing Fn+F9, or disable "Tapping" in the Advanced Touchpad Settings.

When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

I can offer suggestions, but I can not fix it.
Press enter three or four times before you start typing and then move the cursor back to the start. What happens is your point of insertion gets outside your predefined font range, it is a know bug and that will help you "stay in the lines" Another option is type Rick, go back to the start and then type your message. Anything which keeps the insertion point from the very end of the email really.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

When typing an email address and locating it if you hit the tab button it occasionally defaults to another similar address

When typing address and the existing recipient shows up I click on it and hit the tab button. If there is a similar address that I email more frequently it defaults to that.
type mike@ and [email protected] and [email protected] shows up. I click on [email protected] and hit the tab button the system changes it to [email protected] because I email that more frequently.

Yes this is broke. The forum is full of the exact same report. They are working on a fix.

Email problem when typing in email addresses using Mail on the iPhone 3G

Hi,
I have a problem whilst typing in email addresses into the Mail App To: field. Basically, what's happening is this.
When I first got the phone, I was using a Hotmail account as well as a Googlemail account which I had going through the Mail App, my hotmail address was used for work so on occassions, I would email my Hotmail account from the Mail App on my phone.
The problem I have is that I now have a new Hotmail account and when I start to type the address into the To: field in Mail App, it still shows my old Hotmail account address rather than the one I am now using. I only now send to the new Hotmail address so I thought that it would replace the old one when I start typing the address in the To: field.
Has anyone else found this at all? It's rather annoying as everytime, I have to type the whole address even though I have sent many recently and never send to the old Hotmail address anymore but the old address comes up as soon as I start to type the new address.
Can anyone please help me on this?
Many Thanks,
Adam

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

Very recently when typing an email in Firefox, if I make a typo and try to backspace to correct, I get a sound and it will not backspace.

I am on MacBook running on OSX 10.6.8. When I'm typing an email, if I make a typo and try to delete it or backspace, all I get is a computer sound and it will not allow me to do anything. I have to close that page and start over completely. It will not do it every time but does it frequently. I don't know what triggers it and how to make it stop.

If you are printing to physical printer from Safari : Use Reader print button from Reader toolbar
If you want to save a PDF from Safari to your local : Use Reader Save button from the Reader toolbar.
PS: if you have PDF in read mode the hover the mouse at the bottom of the page and the floating Reader toolbar will appear.
Please let me know if this solves your issue.

Firefox 4 overloads my hard drive when typing an email

Hello,
I downloaded Firefox 4 today and I noticed that when I was typing an email in my gmail account, my CPU usage history skyrocketed after about 5 minutes, thus Firefox froze up and I would have to close the browser. I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and go back to the old version because situations like this did not happen. Also, please note that when I was emailing in my Facebook account, this did not happen. I don't know if this is a gmail or an email issue. Thank you...

It only takes a moment to look... who knows what you might find?
Another way to test without the influence of extensions is Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference using OWA?

Mail crashes when typing an email address

Hi,
I just bought a MacBookPro thinking it would be the end of my troubles with Mail. But I was wrong. I really just turned it on for the first time.
The 1st and ONLY thing I did till now was installing Adobe programs, backing up my Safari bookmark list and my Addressbook contacts.
Afterwards I configured my email accounts on Mail from scratch (I haven't even backed up the old emails as I was having the same crashing problem os my old Power Book G4) and as soon as I tryed to send an email, it started crashing when I typed on the "to" field.
I can only guess I could be a problem with the OS system or with the Address Book. I beg for any help. By now, I'm really frustated.
Thanks everyone!

Thanks a lot for your help David,
Here it goes. Just a new thing, now it's crashing when I open it, when I try to delete a message or do anything. Have alrealdy restarted twice. But it keeps happening again.
