Here's what I'm talking about.
On line 2 there is this highlighted block of "syntax=" text. It doesn't belong there and and will appear (seemingly) randomly. If I sweep over it in visual mode it goes away. I suspect that it's something to do with syntastic but I could easily be wrong since I'm only an intermediate when it comes to vim.
Here are the plugins I'm using,
YouCompleteMe
emmet-vim
html5.vim
nerdcommenter
python-mode
syntastic
tmp
vim-airline
vim-colors-solarized
vim-gitgutter
vim-javascript-syntax
vim-jinja
vim-js-indent
and here's my vimrc
execute pathogen#infect()
execute pathogen#helptags()
syntax on

Also! Feel free to critique and make suggestions about my plugins and vimrc. I haven't spent a lot of time tuning things so any input would be rad!

I used to be able to use ctrl-v and Shift-I to do multi line insert. I think it MIGHT have been caused by installing gvim? I have spent hours trying to fix this. I have tried running without plugins and removing .vimrc

YCM works but I can't switch between the suggestions using TAB, only using Down and Up arrows and accepting with Enter.
Why is happening this? Is another program using the TAB key?
thanks a lot for the help
By configuring set paste, you're effectively disabling all mappings and abbreviations.
You only need that set when you actually paste text in terminal Vim! It's best to bind this to a key. As mappings cannot be used when the option is set, Vim provides a special option for this:
:set pastetoggle=<F10>
Further commentary
As the ~/.vimrc is sourced at the beginning of Vim startup (when files passed to it haven't yet been loaded), the retab is ineffective; just drop it. If you really want automatic reindenting for opened files, you'd have to employ an :autocmd BufRead * retab for that, but I'd advise against that.
The problem was due to the "set paste" line in my .vimrc
so, I removed it, and when I want to paste large blocks of code in vim, I just write :set paste to enable it or :set nopaste to disable it. This toggle can be also mapped to f10 or any key.
I can't seem to get cursor wrapping to work in vim 7.3. I've tried suggestions found elsewhere, including the following, which have no effect:
:set whichwrap+=<,>
:set whichwrap+=>,l
:set whichwrap+=<,h
Any suggestions? I've included my .vimrc in case there is a conflict...

The following line in your .vimrc is a conflict. Commenting out that line will probably fix the issue.
set nocompatible " vim, not vi
And for automatic wrap, I suggest you use this one and use more of h and l than the left & right arrow keys:
set whichwrap+=<,>,h,l,[,]
The issue is putting set nocompatible in the middle of your vimrc (I made the same mistake).
Actually nocompatible is set when a vimrc is detected, but set nocompatible has a side effect of resetting all options to default.
From :help nocompatible:
This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset, other options are also changed as a side effect.
NOTE: Setting or resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected
effects: Mappings are interpreted in another way, undo behaves
differently, etc. If you set this option in your vimrc file, you
should probably put it at the very start.
Vim is not autoindenting the C source files I am working on, although it claims both the autoindent and cindent options are enabled when I type the
:set
command.
Nothing is happening when I type in some code. For instance writing
int main()
{
return 0;
}
the "return 0;" statement stays on the left.
However if I type the "=G" command, my file gets indented.
Here is my config:

Do you have any idea ?
Thank you very much for your help.

You should have read :help paste before adding set paste to your ~/.vimrc:
When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on):
... skipped ...
- 'autoindent' is reset
... skipped ...
These options keep their value, but their effect is disabled:
... skipped ...
- 'cindent'
'paste' is very toxic and should never be added to one's ~/.vimrc. See :help pastetoggle and/or use p instead.
Some information:
autoindent does nothing more than copy the indentation from the previous line, when starting a new line. It can be useful for structured text files, or when you want to control most of the indentation manually, without Vim interfering.
autoindent does not interfere with other indentation settings, and some file type based indentation scripts even enable it automatically.
smartindent automatically inserts one extra level of indentation in some cases, and works for C-like files. cindent is more customizable, but also more strict when it comes to syntax.
smartindent and cindent might interfere with file type based indentation, and should never be used in conjunction with it.
When it comes to C and C++, file type based indentations automatically sets cindent, and for that reason, there is no need to set cindent manually for such files. In these cases, the cinwords, cinkeys and cinoptions options still apply.
Generally, smartindent or cindent should only be set manually if you're not satisfied with how file type based indentation works.
If you plan on using file type based indentation, don't set smartindent or cindent. You may still set autoindent, since it doesn't interfere.
I am currently using VIM in the terminal and have perfect syntax highlighting happening. But then when I try to use gvim no matter what type of file or how many times I type: ":syntax on" I don't get any syntax highlighting. Any ideas anyone?
Thank you.

Use :let g:colors_name to see the name of the colourscheme that has been loaded, the value should be 'sorcerer', if it's not then something has gone seriously wrong
Type :hi Operator, you 'xxx' part should be coloured and you should see guifg=<color> in the output.
Put a new line at the top of your .vimrc containing just the word "finish", this will stop vim processing your .vimrc. Using :colors default and :syntax on should be enough to get syntax highlighting turned on. If this works then just move the finish line down through your .vimrc until you find the section that is breaking syntax highlighting.
On windows, gVim uses a file called _vimrc, so check for that as well.
When you type :version in gvim do you see +syntax listed in your features list?
Try comparing that to your regular Vim version. Maybe your gvim build didn't include the syntax highlighting feature.
The issue was fixed once I finally figured out how to get gvim 7.3. Then the syntax highlighting magically came.
Building on Thien's response, I also had the same experience (set syntax=on fails, the menu options succeed but only until Vim is restarted).
The menu option apparently triggers :syn=on, and adding that to _vimrc does enable syntax highlighting persistently where set syntax=on did not. I'll leave it to someone with more experience to explain the difference between those two.
set syntax=xxx was not working for me in gvim 7.3 on Windows XP although it did for vim in cygwin. To get syntax highlighting I had to go to Menu > Syntax > Show filetypes in menu > select syntax. I guess the menu command and the vim commands don't do the same thing with gvim on Windows.
