Mail opens and then starts loading but never stops loading!

Mail will not stop loading!
I open mail and it looks fine. It brings up the ranbow loading cursor. I waited an hour and it did not stop! Finaly I used force quit (which said it was non respnsive). Can anyone help me?

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.

Hi there, my photos from Iphone wont upload onto Macbook Air Iphoto. It says it's loading but never does, Anyone have a solution?

hi there, I am trying to upload my photos from my Iphone 5s to my Iphoto on my macbook air, but they wont load. \
It says "loading" but it's not.... does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Start-up and blue screen after boot

Hello members
Would someone of you be able to help me with the above problem.
I have copied/pasted from the console some of the potential problems with the start-up below.

Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried Tools -- Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3 years without difficulty

I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
Thanks for your input

One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.

Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Luis.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Grey and Blue screen but computer won't start up and I don't have a start up disc

Help!
I cannot get my computer to start! Yesterday I was using powerpoint and the screen started to split in two and not repond. I turned off the computer and then grey apple screen on start up was striped, followed by a blank grey screen. After a minute the fan started to sound very loud but the computer would not start up. I did a safe reboot followed by resetting the PRAM and eventually the stripes dissappeared and it started normally.
Once it was turned on everything worked fine other than powerpoint. The split screen happened again when I tried to use power point, but it re-started normally and I forced power point to quit on re-start. It has worked all day without a problem.
This evening I left it open and the screen was black and unresponsive when I came back. I forced it to turn off but again I am faced with the stripey screen, then the grey screen of nothingness. A couple of times it's gone beyond that to a stripey blue screen.
I've tried re-setting PRAM, safe login in, and I've tried pressing command on start up to go in to the repair disc- it will let me pick the disc from the drop down menu but then goes no furhter than the grey screen.
My husband has lost my start up/ set up discs and it is nolonger in waranty. I also thought everything was backed up on Icloud but it doesn't seem to be there!
Is there anything I can do?! Please help!

Spaniel-Rose,
you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from Apple or iFixit.

Hi, I was having the same problem on my new Mini. It would load fine on my iP3 and my phone but not my mini. My two daughters both have iPads linked to my iTunes account. They download a bunch of apps and I suspected this had something to do with it.
After a few hours, I found how to hide the purchased apps in iTunes (go to Store, App Store (up the top) then the Apps tab. Hover the mouse until you get an X then click on it. It doesn't delete it from your library, just stops it showing up on your iPad. I did this, launched Purchased on my iPad mini and boom they all came up. I just hid those I don't use/want any more, and some of the older ones my kids have purchased. Cut the number down from nearly 500 to 280 and it loads like a charm now.

I currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application. HELP!!

i currently use a iMac OS X 10.6.8 and I cannot open iPhoto. Every time I click on iPhoto the coloured wheel comes up and lets me go no further, leaving me with no other option but to force quit the application.
it is showing all my existing photos but will not let me click on any of them, nor will it allow me to import any new photos into iPhoto.
I am really worried that I cannot access all of my photos and even more worried as I need to back them up!!
HELP!!

Try repair the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
