After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  Now Mail crashes every time I open it.  What's up?

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account.  After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail.  Does anyone have an suggestions?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    I updated my Facebook application thru iTunes update system,once I did this and it finished the update I tried to log onto Facebook it opens then closes .. I rebooted my iPad and tried to open facebook again and it still did the same thing. What can I do ???? I don't want to reinstall it I'm scared it will wipe out all the game levels I'm at.

    Do a search on the site and you will find many posts.
    I deleted the FB app, power cycled the device (home and reset button until Apple logo appears), then reinstalled the app. Worked for me.

  • 10.9 Mavericks Mail Setup Instructions for Gmail/Google Apps Email Accounts

    Can Apple provide (or have they already) specific instructions for setting up the Mail client with Gmail/Google Apps email accounts?  I've read other threads with various workarounds that work for some but not others.  I am hoping there is a standard set of instructions directly from Apple on this.

  • Mail crashes every time it opens - after large send failed once

    Issue: Mail crashes every time it opens. Problem started after a failed send on an e-mail with multiple photos attached. Can't see anything in outbox to delete.
    Background: Family member initiated mail of several large photos from within iPhoto. Mail tried to send through Google mail and received error return that file was too large. Now every time Mail client opens - it crashes. Can't find anything in Outbox to delete. Tried deleting the Google Mail account and then reinstalling it. Still crashes.
    System: A clean iMac - only a few months old with all updates on OS current. No 3rd party software or anything tricky.
    Question: What to do next? Is there a place to look and delete this hung outbound e-mail at the system level - since don't see it in outbox. Should I move next to delete the Mail application and reinstall it? If so, is there another file to delete that might be holding this hung file or status?
    Thanks

    Hi usaf890, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this for safety...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    Then I'd backup your whole Mail folder, by right clicking on it in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place... only the plist is separate.
    Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
    Move to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    If you wish to try the file angle, look in the finder for...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/type&name of [email protected]/Sent Messages.mbox/Messages/
    then files like...
    7404.emlx
    Size or date may be a clue.

  • Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

    Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

    When did you install?
    Spotlight will need to re-index the entire system so that can cause slow performance if you updated recently. It can take many hours on a large disk with a lot of data. Click the Spotlight menu, it should say if it is still indexing.
    There is no point trying to fix anything whilst this is ongoing, because it may just speed up when complete.
    Are you able to drag photos from email to the Desktop or to iPhoto's icon? How about the 'File menu > Save attachments' option?
    Please clarify what you have tried, otherwise we may waste time on the wrong thing.
    If the system is generally unstable there are other things to try too, such as safe boot.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    That will isolate all third party software, if the Mac is able to do the things that didn't work it suggests that you have software that is loading at startup or login. The easiest way for us to see these is if you download EtreCheck & generate a report.
    Post the report here & we can try pointing to items that you can either update or remove.

  • I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
    You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

    The last update failed on
    my window 7 home prermium pc, resulting in me having to try it manually download and install,
    this also failed leaving my I tunes not working, I tried restore back to a
    safer date, but every time it tried to update it failed. eventually it told me
    to delete and reinstall, this fails due to the apple mobile device service
    failing to start, and asking me if I have sufficient privileges to start system
    service, I have tried all suggestions on iTunes page, ie delete everything to
    do with apple, and start as administrator, nothing works, help please

    I too have tried the latest iTunes (12.1.1.4) in Win7. I did a search for latent drivers as you noted but found none. I am glad it worked for you - I'm still no-joy at this point. I'm able to install AMDS over and over again, without issue - it just doesn't start then iTunes launch fails with Error 7. I have to manually remove it.
    I am able to connect my iPhone via USB cable and access my photo storage on the phone. I am just not able to install iTunes anymore. I have attempted resolution to this issue for almost two months now. Until that time, I was content with what was installed. It was only when the proverbial update box appeared that I attempted to 'update' my iTunes. WHAT A MISTAKE putting blind faith into an Apple request to update. I SUGGEST NOT TO UPDATE YOUR ITUNES IF IT IS RUNNING PROPERLY!
    I realize now, once again I might add, my reliance on software provided by others. It's like anything else, I shouldn't rely on just one method for anything. Time to search for a more pleasant alternative than Apple. Truly, when it worked, it was good at its job, but now that I am wasting time I am looking seriously at upgrading to another type of smartphone and media management software. Way too much trouble for anything as simple as this should be. I wonder, is this a result of another feud with Microsoft?

  • I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

    Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

    If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

    I inadvertently installed the Mountain Lion Safari over my existing copy not realising that it would not work with OS 10.7.5 and now I am unable to use it .

    It should work, but it's an unmitigated mess. Simplest is to boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS.

  • Problem with Mail & Google Apps email account

    I have three personal Gmail accounts, and a Google Apps email account provided by the Open University. I've set these four accounts up in Mail to use IMAP.
    My three personal accounts work as expected, no problems there. Apparently – I'm still waiting for confirmation of this from the OU – it's only possible to send email from the Google Apps account if I use the web interface, not Mail or any other email client. This account is only accessible from my student home page which has its own login with unique user name and password; trying to log in with the same details via the usual Gmail login dialog doesn't work. However, before I learned this I tested the setup by sending email, with Mail, from my Google Apps account to each of my personal accounts, and all three emails seemed to arrive correctly.
    On seeing my name as the sender I assumed everything was o.k. and didn't check to see which actual address showed as the sender. A few days later on finding problems and repeating the test I was surprised to find that the mails had been sent from the first personal Gmail account I set up in Mail, not from the account I had specified. This is a massive security breach that gives scope for abuse and fraud, but is it by Mail or Google? If I can't send from the account I was trying to use I should receive an error message to tell me of a problem, not be deceived silently into thinking that everything was working properly when it wasn't.
    Has anyone experienced this, with Mail or another email client and Google Apps or another service? I'd really appreciate any comments and views about this behaviour because it worries me.
    TIA.

    Update:
    I've established for certain that Google only provide a web interface for Google Apps products, it says so in the first paragraph of the Google Apps SLA. Trying to set up sending from a Google Apps account with an email client will only get you the hassle, waste of time and headache that I've had. Google don't say this anywhere that I've found in Gmail help or the marketing stuff about Google Apps; it's up to the buyer of the service either read the SLA for themselves, or for an organisation buying it for their people to tell them clearly that they have to use the web interface, there's no other option. I've read some other posts here on this subject, those people have been just as frustrated and annoyed as I have.
    How I deal with Google – I assume it's the provider and not the software – diverting my emails, is another question. My email provider diverts its customers' emails without telling the customer. The potential for fraud and abuse is obvious but what can be done about it? Can anything be done about it? Apart from anything else, I want the service. It's free at point of use, but it's not free really, nothing ever is, but if I paid for it could I be sure this wouldn't or couldn't happen. Welcome to the 21st century. I've taken it up with the Open University as the provider of my Google Apps account; I'm going to write to my MP (I'm in UK) or an appropriate regulatory body if there is one, and see where it might go from there.
