Help, someone. The 'send' thing has vanished from the bar above the 
message I want to send and I have tried absolutely everything to make it 
reappear. Help!

Sally Sparrow Hmm... Save it as a draft and close your program. Then 
open again. What are you sending in?

Chris Ambidge Use your cursor to highlight all the text, control-c and 
that text copies to your clipboard. Open a wordprocessor or something 
(email) and control-v to paste the text into a place to save it. Then 
shut down the non-cooperative software and try again. Copy/paste the 
text you spent so much time drafting.

Marion Thompson That's not working either. There is no 'Send'. I shut 
down the whole thing and tried again, but no go.

the thing!

Marion Thompson It's not going and I'm truly frustrated because I really 
need it to be working at this time.

Sally Sparrow Or... Hit alt and select View-Toolbars, maybe the toolbar

Trish York this is going to sound too easy so it probably will miss the 
mark. But I have solved this type of problem by hitting the middle 
button in the upper right corner to make the screen a partial (smaller) 
screen and then click it again to make it a full screen. That can reset it.

Marion Thompson AAAAARG! I can't even email someone who maybe can make a 
good suggestion. And other people simply turn up their noses at my 
non-Apple system.

Dana Murray Create yourself a new email address in gmail or something 
you don't currently use and send from the new address until the glitch 
stops hiccuping.

Daphne Loyola Aunt Marion, push the power button until the computer 
turns off. That won't save the mistake. Then turn it on again and 
hopefully it will have shown back up. Xo

Trish York You can also reset the computer to an earlier time when it 
was working.

Cathy Carlyle If all else fails, you might want to take the computer to 
Staples or some such store. But check first to see if they will take a 
look at a computer that was NOT bought at the store in Cobourg.

Sibyl Riker Smirl I don't know much that might help, but if the person 
you want to e-mail is somebody on Mag, I can do that for you and ask 
them to get in touch or phone you. I won't turn up my nose at your 
Apple, I have one too, but that doesn't make me smart about it. All I 
can suggest is what somebody else already did, that you restart.

Sibyl Riker Smirl Or I can send your yell for help to Mag itself. If 
Brian Reid sees it, he knows everything, probably even Mac!
