Why does "remove attachments" in Mail now remove entire e-mail?

This is just one of numerous problems with Lion after installing it on MacBook Pro. Every time I choose "remove attachments" in Mail, it deletes the entire e-mail and I can't bring it back. Additionally:
1.     I-Cal entries take forever (delayed entry) and assume I have an all-day event so I now have to enter the event and then open and edit it - additional steps.
2.     Airport (Wi-Fi) now shuts off without warning and cannot, under any circumstances, be restarted from any of the several screens and buttons that supposedly offer that option. Therefore, when I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet and then back, I have to do a restart.
3.     The Address Book now has a stylistic but non-functional interface that requires several additional steps to look at anything and there is no longer an option in Mail to "Open in Address Book" without first opening the v-card, once again complicating my life.
4.     The removal of arows on scroll bars means that I can no longer gradually look at a large file line by line but, rather, have to use the trackpad (which is also jumpy) try to focus in on the area I want by trila and error. I hate the trackpad for these reasons and now that I have lost the arrows, I have essentially the same problem with the mouse - very cumbersome for anyone doing production type work, rather than just playing.
5.     My Carbonite no longer works and I see there are compatibility issues with all kinds of other software. Worse some of my favorite old programs (e.g. Fetch) no longer work in Lion.
6.     The conversation function in Mail now groups things I don't want grouped (e.g., totally unconnected e-mails with the same words in the subject). I had to turn that off for this reason.
Overall, Lion is a huge disappointment. It's all bells and whistles with actual losses in functionality for basic work - style over substance. This is the same thing I've seen happen with Microsoft Excel as basic issues that needed addressing have been ignored while all sorts of pretty stuff that is pretty much useless has been added.
Even more frustrating is the message I got from Apple Support, which was to re-nstall Lion. That took 6 hours and resulted in not one correction of any of these issues. What has Apple done? This OS was not ready for primetime.

The "feature" I experience is that the message disappears, just as shown in Herbert's video (good work), and that it comes back after a quick mailbox switch. It has nothing to do with message sorting or anything. All my Mail settings are the same as in Mail 4.x, and everything worked fine there. Must be a bug in Mail 5. (Yes, I have reported it.)
The "explanation" that Mail creates a copy without the attachment, instead of keeping the old message without the attachment, doesn't really solve the problem. (Sorry for my extensive use of smileys, it's not my style but sometimes convenient.) The copy should come up without the mailbox switch either way.
Edit: spelling.

Why does my airport wifi icon now say "No Hardware installed" It has been working for ever

This message comes up when your Mac no longer recognizes that there is an operational AirPort card installed. This can be due to a number of reasons, including card or antenna cabling failure.
You can try either a PRAM or SMC reset. Which you choose will depend on the exact model of your Mac, but most likely, a visit to your local Apple Store is in order.

Why does a find and replace method remove whitespace?

I have method that searches for a string in a FM document and replaces it with a variable. If for example, there was a string foobar that I wanted to replace with the variable barfoo. Then, I expect this text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, foobar consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus sed purus urna, ac tristique tortor. Nam auctor tellus non enim pulvinar a vestibulum neque tincidunt.
To be changed to this text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, barfoo consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus sed purus urna, ac tristique tortor. Nam auctor tellus non enim pulvinar a vestibulum neque tincidunt.
However, while the text does do the replace it also removes the whitespace between the variable and the text that appears right after the variable so it actually looks looks like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, barfooconsectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus sed purus urna, ac tristique tortor. Nam auctor tellus non enim pulvinar a vestibulum neque tincidunt.
Why is the find and replace method removing the whitespace and how do I prevent that from happening? The method is provided below.
function FindAndReplaceString(pDoc, findString, replaceVariable)
    if (typeof pDoc != 'undefined'&&typeof findString != 'undefined'&&typeof replaceVariable != 'undefined'&&pDoc.ObjectValid()&&findString.length>0&&replaceVariable.length>0)
        var vVarFmtStatus=checkVarFmStatus (pDoc, replaceVariable);
        if (vVarFmtStatus=='In Doc')
            var tr = new TextRange();
            var findParams = new PropVals();
            var frame = pDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow;
            var restoreTR = pDoc.TextSelection;
            tr.beg.obj = tr.end.obj = frame.FirstPgf;
            tr.beg.offset = tr.end.offset = 0;
            findParams = AllocatePropVals(1);
            findParams[0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindText;
            findParams[0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_String;
            findParams[0].propVal.sval = findString;
            tr = pDoc.Find(tr.beg, findParams);
            var vLoopCounter=0;
            while(FA_errno === Constants.FE_Success&&vLoopCounter++< 1000)
                pDoc.TextSelection = tr;
                pDoc.Clear(0);
                var newVar = pDoc.NewAnchoredFormattedVar(replaceVariable, tr.beg);
                var varLength = newVar.TextRange.end.offset - newVar.TextRange.beg.offset;
                tr.beg.offset += varLength;
                tr = pDoc.Find(tr.beg, findParams);
            if (vLoopCounter>0)
                Log (vLogFileName, 'In the document \''+pDoc.Name+'\', the string \''+findString+'\' was replaced with the variable \''+replaceVariable+'\' '+vLoopCounter+' times.\n')
            if (vLoopCounter>1000)
                recordErrors (vErrorLog, 'ERROR: In the document "'+pDoc.Name+'", the find and replace operation was stopped after executing '+vLoopCounter+' times. The term being searched for is "'+findString+'" the replacement variable is "'+ replaceVariable+'".')
            pDoc.TextSelection = restoreTR;

I can't uninstall Thunderbird from my Windows Programs "uninstall list"; why does it not uninstall and be removed from this list?

Very frustrating...under the Windows "Programs/Uninstall a program" list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER I have removed it completely (I thought) from my computer. I have clicked on "uninstall" several times and nothing happens. I resent the fact that Mozilla has set this up so that it apparently can't be removed from that list.. What's that all about? I have tried to research the problem, even using your website to no avail. All I want to do is get it out of my uninstall/change list. I have not used that program AND won't use it. I don't want that program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

This is a fault with Windows application management. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the install/uninstall process.
You could re-install Thunderbird to re-synch the applications list and then un-install it again, or you could use a utility to remove it from the list.
A search for ''thunderbird.exe'' will confirm whether or not it has been truly removed, though you may need to disable all the idiot-proofing that Microsoft implement to stop us seeing the true state of the file system; set it to show hidden files and file extensions for starters.
Thunderbird is pretty much self-contained. You are free to manually remove the folder the application lives in if Windows is unable to uninstall it for you, though that won't fix the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

Why does a ringtone sync want to remove all my music and video

I downloaed an app to make a ringtone from my music on my iphone 4
I made the ringtone and got it onto the desktop of my laptop then into the itunes ringtones folder but if i try to then sync it onto the iphone i am prompted that it will remove all the music and video from the iphone.
What setting do i have here that won't allow me to add a ringtone sync without clearing my iphone?
If its not a setting how do i get around it?

Thanks very much
I've just realised what a nugget I've been for not just trying that last night.
I drag and drop all my music and video so why not drag and drop this also.
I would be merciless in my teasing of someone for this very thing so feel free to give it to me loads.

Why does my computer run slower now with OS X Mavericks?

I installed OS X Mavericks on my Mac, which is an older MacBook, and now it runs much slower and I have to Force Quite just about everytime I want to downloard something. Needless to say, I am frustrated!! Now when it boots up, the last web site I was on is fron and centre! I don't get my home page. What can I do to speed this thing up and make it run the way it did before this installation! I thought it was suppose to be better!

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clickinganywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Why does SYNC take so long now? And why does it BACKUP every time i sync?

Sync takes SO darn long now and when I sync, it does a BACKUP that is causing the sync process to take SO SO SO LONG!
Whats the deal? anyway to turn OFF the BACKUP option?

I have half a dozen screens full of apps - some of which will definitely have to go as some sync operations - especially if there are apps being updated for me takes hours. Yesterday it got stuck during an app update over the wifi - and I had to do a restore - the restore took some time - which included restore from a backup from only a few days ago - the following sync has been running for a couple hours now and appears to be only 75% or so complete. rather annoying.

Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

Why does adobe crash everytime I try to do a mail merge?

I'm using the latest CC version of InDesign. I do 1-4 mailmerges a month. Doesn't matter the size (range from 300-5000), but Indesign frequently crashes. I had less trouble before Creative Cloud. Any one with me?

You're right...it's not always crashing, but hanging indefinitely. And, yes, I did actually end up moving to another computer platform to process this latest project.
My MAC is loaded with RAM (more than the PC I ended up using), and my InDesign document had only one small logo graphic in the file, along with text. I ended up dividing the 4700 line database (.csv file) into 4 separate merges on the PC platform (same version of InDesign), which is the same thing I was doing on my MAC.
On the PC it took well over an hour to process, but at least it worked. All in all, I spent 7 hours trying to complete this one data merge. Most of my merges are smaller, and average 2-3 hours, which I think is completely ridiculous. If I have database issues, it usually won't even begin to process. This just seems like a processing issue for CC that needs to be addressed.
