Apple mail 6.5(1508)Click on mail icon will not open mail in safari

when I try to open my mail in apple mail 6.5 clicking on the mail icon ( that looks like a postage stemp) will result in nothing happens.I can get my mail in Chrome but not in Safari.It has been working until very recently but all of a sudden it just quit.I have tried various things to get it back,but nothing seams to help.Any help I thank for

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
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.  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 uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • My mail icon will not open

    All my icons on my dock are opening without any problem, but my mail icon will not open.

    Launch Launchpad. Click Mail icon in the Launchpad to
    open Mail Application.
    Does it open?
    If Mail application  launches from Launchpad, drag the old Mail icon in the Dock
    upward about two inches, it will vanish in a puff of smoke.
    Launch Mail, when Mail icon appears in the Dock, right click it,select  "Options"
    and then "Keep in Dock".

  • I am showing firefox in my tray but when I click on it, it will not open to a full screen. I have been using it up until today without a problem in Windows 7

    When I put my mouse over the firefox icon in the lower tray it shows small pictures of the home page but when i click on these they will not open to a full page. I am using windows 7. This problem just started today. I can use internet explorer without a problem. Thanks for any assistance you can give. I contact HP and they said to contact your support as they only support internet explorer.

    below is what I get with the dev.jeffersonscher.com etc. url. But what do I do with this information? I can launch safe mode, but I still get only the 2" icon/window of Firefox.

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.

  • I had purchased Imovie today I can find the icon movie it click it but it will not open. Its shows up in docs and purchased but not apps? how do i add it to my bar and open it?!

    I had purchased Imovie today I can find the icon movie it click it but it will not open. Its shows up in docs and purchased but not apps? how do i add it to my bar and open it?!

    Exactly where are you clicking, you need to be specific. For example, are you using the Dock, the Applications folder, Launchpad, etc. to attempt to start teh app? Also IOS 7.1.2 does not run on a Mac, what version of OS X is installed on your computer?

  • 10.8.2 Will Not Open Mail

    Need a hand here and not sure if these two things are connected.
    1- my immediate need; mail will not open:  I get "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? I hit reopen and get " Mail quit unexpectedly- click to reopen.....you know the rest."
    I did the suplimental update and restart.
    I'm running mail 6.2
    I do not have disks for the OS because I downloaded it online.
    Not sure what else to add other than : HELP
    The second issue, that Idon't think is related: about five times the autofill stopped working on mail and I had to remove mail.plist- which fixed it everytime.
    Thanks
    Jallmand

    Might have a solution
    just rang apple tech support and they suggested that
    1. Mail>preferences>accounts then delete all my accounts
    2. hold alt then in finder click go>libary>mail> V2 and delete all files/folders in the folder V2
    3. in the libary folder go to preferences and delete all files/folders with the word "mail" in the name
    4. restart mail and re-enter your email account details
    don't know if that will help

  • Use AOL, when signed in to mail, it will not open mail

    We use AOL for e-mail. We can log on but when we click on an e-mail, it keeps saying "waiting on ##.###.### " some numbers but will not open the e-mail. This just recently started. I tried downloading the software again, but it still happens.

    I had the same problem as well and finally worked it out. Maybe it could be related.

    FF should open now hopefully.
    From there, if your issue is the same, one by one go through add-ons you want installed, making sure to restart after each one to find the one causing issues. If FF doesn't open again, go through the steps for clean install again and don't reinstall that add-on. Once found the culprit(s) and got FF going again without reinstalling those, go about restoring your profile data to get bookmarks and so back. Best to do that last so only have to copy files over once.
    That is all I know on this. Really wish I could get an answer to why it is happening as the add-on causing me issues I use constantly, prefer it over others, yet now I can't because want FF to work. Hope this helped.

  • I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

    When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
    I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • edited by host HARD DRIVE ICON WILL NOT OPEN ON DESKTOP WHEN CLICK

    my HD will not open on desktop when i click on it. For 4 years i had no problem on this every.
    why does this happen now?
    what is wrong with the icon?
    could my HD start becoming bad?
    what are some signs that i should be "aware of" is this one?

    You might try booting from DVD or another drive and running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior.
    Or Single Users Mode (command s on startup) and follow on-screen instruction command
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    to repair your boot drive
    ... or a Safe Boot with shift key held down.
    Corrupt prefs, directory, could be a number of small or major things.
    But, in any case, make sure you have backups, and a bootable backup clone, maybe an emergency boot drive as well (install OS X on another drive if you don't have one now).

  • Trackpad will not open mail messages

    After a year of flawless function I now find that I cannot open mail messages by clicking track pad. I can highlight the messages and open them by pressing return, but can no longer double click to open the message. Only happens in mail; other programs and applications work fine. Any ideas out there?

  • I have upgraded to snow leopard 10.6.3 version and it will not open mail it says i cant use this version of mail 3.6

    I have upgraded to mac os x snow leopard but it doesent let me open mail it says i have mail 3.6 so i tried to download a larer version of mail and i havent got space.

    While the minimum free space some quote of 4GB or 10% in actual practice you want more like 10-15GB minimum and that doesn't mean it will perform as it should, only that it may be able to function at all. 20% free space, but none of that means that your free space is large enough, or that the pieces of free space may be so small as to still not allow writes.
    The worst is when it is no longer possible to update the index to the drive directory of where files and fragments are located.
    Last, good idea when moving to a new OS, to backup/clone your drive, erase and install, then use Setup Assistant, as in going from 10.5 to 10.6. It may seem like you or others can "get away" with avoiding formatting a drive. In practice, you want to be safe rather than sorry. And the only time to insure the partitions are aligned and healthy and no bad sectors, especially those contained by the OS that are hidden.

  • My iChat icon will not open when I click on it.... what should I do?

    I've tried clicking the iChat icon on my Doc many times, and on my top toolbar on the top of the screen, it says iChat, as if the program is open.... yet there are no windows open....... BIT OF A PICKLE.

    Hi,
    You can get to this state two ways.
    1) On starting iChat the first time you click through the Start Up Screen with entering any Screen Name or ID info and not turning on the Bonjour Option.
    2) Having set up an Screen Name in ichat (Or just Enabled the Bonjour option) you have then used the red button which has closed the Window but not quit iChat
    You have then Quit iChat.  iChat remembers where the Buddy List windows were when you Quit even if they are "Hidden"
    Lets start with 2)
    In the iChat Menu go to the accounts sub item
    Is anything listed here ?  (Bonjour at least should be)
    Un-ticked items are Not Logged in and so Buddy Lists will not show.
    Selecting an Item will toggle the Tick and Log the Account In (Selecting it again removes the tick and logs out)
    If an Item is Tick but there is no Window then it is "Hidden"
    Now go to the Window Menu.
    Any Logged in accounts also get listed here with Keystrokes next to them (CMD/Apple key plus a number)
    Either select the item or use the Keystrokes
    Clicking and Holding the DOCK icon should also give you an option to reveal any Logged in Buddy List.
    Re 1)
    If you did not set up an account you should be able to go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    The Bonjour item is always there in the list and can be Enabled (Use this account) on the right (Account Info tab)
    The Bonjour Buddy List will only show Buddies if other iChat Users are on your LAN with iChat On and Bonjour Enabled.
    You cannot add Buddies to this list (It will display their Name as they appear in their Address Book on their Computer
    At the bottom of the list are two buttons. A Plus one to Add An Account/Screen name and a Minus one to Delete Accounts  (You cannot delete the Bonjour one)
    Clicking the add Button opens an new pane
    The top item of this is a drop down to select either AIM, @Mac.com or MobileMe (All log in to AIM) and below the line the Jabber options of a Jabber server or GoogleTalk
    Selecting either MobileMe or @mad.com and then pressing the "Get an iChat Account" button will take you to a web page (In  Browser) to Register for an @mac.com name
    (In iChat 5 the AIM option points to the previous AIM page for Registration but this has moved)
    With Jabber or Google Talk you will have to have a Name first
    You can of course get your AIM based name first and just fill in the details.
    Once you have a name and filled it in with a password you can click Done.
    NOTES
    Registering an @mac.com name is applying for an Apple ID (Automatic)
    The Password Strength indicator should be ignored as the AIM Servers can only cope with password up to 16 characters long.
    Part of the process means you have to list an existing Email address.
    This cannot be one already associated with an Apple ID you may already have (Such as using an ISP Email to register to post in Communities)
    In Setting up an Account/Screen name in iChat you don't have to enter the password
    If you do not iChat will ask you each time.
    This at least stops people who get access to your computer logging in to your details.
    These iChat 4 How Tos offer a longer explanation (Use the lower menu under the iChat 4 How to title: Work left to right)
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link

  • Can't download files -even the support center's remote login appl won't download;  web sites like USA Today will not open; etc.

    This all started by certain sites not opening, like USA Today; Intellicast.com.  Installed Maverics yesterday successfully and the web sites very briefly worked and then starting failing again.  Called tech support and couldn't download their remote login code.  From Safari's viewpoint thought there might be a problem with Adobe Flash.  So deleted that and then tried to download the installer code from Adobe and that wouldn't download.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''
