Apple Mail and Safari Toolbar (deleting icons)

How come I cannot delete options (icons) from my Apple Mail toolbar or Safari toolbar? It states in the Mac Help area that you are supposed to drag the icons you want to delete and they will disappear. That isn't the case. The icons seem to be locked. I can add icons to the toolbar but I cannot delete them.

Minor correction...you actually need to control+click on the toolbar to reveal the contextual menu. Option+click will do nothing.
You can also just click on "View" in the menu bar and "Customize Toolbar". Once the customize toolbar sheet appears, you can drag icons into and out of the toolbar.

  • Delaying when switching between apple mail and safari

    just on mavericks.
    it more or less looks and feel ok but...
    when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
    anyone similar experiences?
    what could be the cause of that?
    its really disturbing.

    I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

  • Is it possible to view apple mail and safari on the imac at the same time?

    I am running 10.6 and would like to view mail and safari at the same time. When I open one the other goes away

    Reader is what I meant. 8^(
    When I have a Safari window open and then open mail, the Mail window becomes active but the Safari window remains on the desktop. Does yours minimize to the Dock?

  • Apple Mail and Safari not working, other browers fine

    Apple Mail suddenly won't download mail, it spins and spins, but gets no mail.  It also won't quit, I had to force quit several times.  And Safari has become sluggish, can't even load a page. I tried reset, it made Safari work to load one page, but since then won't load any more.  At the same times, Opera. Chrome and Firefox work great, very fast.
    And ideas????

    Regarding Mail, does the spinning beach ball start when you click on specific messages?  Spam messages, perhaps?  If "yes," you need to create a rule that deletes these messages.  You want to select a characteristic that is sufficiently broad to catch the offending sender every time BUT is also sufficiently narrow so that legitimate mail is not deleted.
    One example that I found is sender includes:
    .info
    That catches most of the messages that were causing my wife problems and we certainly don't know anyone named John.Info.  Of course, if we ever do get a friend with that name, we've got a problem. 

  • Typing Hebrew in Apple Mail and Safari

    Ever since installing Snow Leopard when I try to type in Hebrew in Apple Mail, or in Safari (say in websites with a type-in field like the one I'm writing into right now), the application hangs for seconds. Typing 4 words, something that takes me 2 seconds, it takes the computer mayb 30 seconds to show what I just typed. With Safari it's not a big deal - I just switched to FireFox. With Apple Mail I have no other solution and it's really annoying.
    Spoke to Apple support the only thing they could offer me was to reinstall the system... Even though it's a known issue, known not to be solved by re-installation. It's not known to Apple however. Didn't register with their database, but if you google it you will find many other ****** off Hebrew Speakers.
    *Right Now I'm telling all my Israeli friends - DO NOT UPDATE YET*

    Even though it's a known issue, known not to be solved by re-installation. It's not known to Apple however. Didn't register with their database, but if you google it you will find many other ****** off Hebrew Speakers.
    There are only two reports of this in these forums, and I certainly cannot duplicate your problem. If no one at Apple can duplicate it, there is no way for anyone to fix it. It could be that there is some common 3rd party addition to a normal 10.6 install which causes this. I would recommend you do provide as much info as possible about other reports of people with this issue to Apple's bugreporter and feedback channels.

  • Mail and Safari Crash after Full Restore with Time Machine

    I did a complete restore with time Machine. I opened Mail and it did it's thing importing all the mail and creating it's new index and folders. Now Mail and Safari will not work. They crash every time I open them.
    They were working fine, the only reason I did the restore was I inadvertently formated my hard drive while trying to install boot camp.
    Anyone have any idea what to do?
    Mario

    I have exactly the same problem as iGin. All other programs appear to be behaving normally, just Apple Mail and Safari crash immediately after starting them up - very annoying!

  • Mail and Safari still freeze all the time-help

    Even with the latest Mavericks updates, Apple mail and Safari freeze contstantly to the point that I can't send email or use Safari. I had after the initial mavericks release gotten mail to function by shutting off 2 Gmail accounts I had on my MacPro. After the update that supposedly fixed the Gmail issues, I turned on my Gmail accounts and Mail started freezing almost immediately on startup. Was able to get in and shut the accounts don again, but Mail keeps freezing. I even removed the Gmail accounts from Mail prefs, but that didn't help either. I can usually get Mail to launch and for the most part can read email, but if I try to respond, once i type and email and try to send, Mail freezes and I have to force quit. Once Mail hangs Safari hangs shortly thereafter or if it's not even launched I can't launch.
    I have been using macs for a long time and have never had such a bad time with an upgrade. Have tried most of the solutions posted, and am baffled as to how to make things work.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • Mail and safari hogging cpu - corrupt preferences?

    I am having a major problem when I run Mail or Safari under Mavericks on my iMac - they hog all the CPU making it hard to do other things unless I keep quitting the Mail Web Content or Safari Web Content processes using Activity Monitor. This also has shown up in other discussions on this board and no one seems to have a resolution to the problem. But the curious thing is that I only have the problem on my older iMac, but on my new MacBook Pro that also runs Mavericks, runs Mail with identical settings (and is accessing the same server) and runs Safari with the same bookmarks there is no problem. So the problem must be with something on my iMac that is causing Mail and Safari to keep running these Web Content processes and taking over the CPU.
    In the old days I would have assumed it was a corrupt Preferences file and deleted that, but no one has sugggested this. Is this possible? If so, what should be deleted?

    While everything had been working fine, this morning I installed the latest update to the operating system and I am back with the same problem (although I am only having Mail Web Content hogging the CPU and not Safari Web content this time).  I am posting below some information from the log as you suggested (sorry if it is too much but I don't know what you are looking for). Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks for the help LInc.

  • 10.5.3 - Mail and Safari dead

    After installing 10.5.3 today I can't run Mail and Safari.
    Mail icon in Dock jump once and that's all, Safari shows a message:
    "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important recources. Try installing Safari again." And now the horror just begins...
    I tried to repaire permissions - didn't help
    I tried to create another user account - nothing
    I installed COMBO update - nothing
    I tried to install Safari again - this one is the best: "You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer." !!!!!!!
    Give me my e-mails back!!! HELP.

    If you tried all this an nothing worked i would back up my stuff quik as "¤#% and erase and instal.
    Regarding your emails:
    If you have IMAP you will still be able to acsess them by your webmail
    " E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them"
    If you have POP3
    "Although most clients have an option to leave mail on server, e-mail clients using POP3 generally connect, retrieve all messages, store them on the user's PC as new messages, delete them from the server, and then disconnect."
    This is just an idea, and it migth not work, but you should give it a try:
    Try safe-boot and see if its the same problem opening mail, if you manage to open it in safe boot you should be able to back up you emails from there.
    Safe-boot:
    Hold down the <Shift> during startup until you see the login window with red text saying "Safe boot"
    I migth be wrong, but i think there is another way to back up your mails from some system folder-not sure what one tho, someone else here or apple support can prbly awnser that
    Good luck

  • Safari and 10.6.2 upgrade. Mail and Safari will not open.

    I upgraded to 10.6.2 and Safari. Now I cannot open my Mail or Safari. I get a message that says it Unexpectedly Quit. I see in the details it says unable to gather system configuration information. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

    HI,
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.launchservices.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move that file to the Trash, restart your Mac and try to launc Mail and Safari. If that doesn't help...
    Download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo)
    It's ok to do this even though you are running 10.6.2. Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP

Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

    _*Apple Mail and GoogleMail via IMAP*_
    As posts concerning the setup of Apple Mail for GoogleMail IMAP access become more frequent on Apple Discussions, I decided to collect some of the most asked-for info in one place. The following hints are intended to provide enough info for anyone who wants to get started with Google Mail IMAP and Mail.app.
    As you might have noticed already, GoogleMail behaves differently from other IMAP accounts in some respects. One of the underlying reasons is its use of labels instead of folders (i.e. instead of moving messages to different folders – like e.g. Private and Work – in order to establish some order, rather there are labels tagged to the messages). Because of this a particular setup of Apple’s Mail client is required.
    *Activating IMAP for Google Mail*
    If you haven’t activated access via IMAP for Google Mail already, follow the instructions given by Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695&topic=13294]. It boils down to this:
    1) Sign in to Gmail.
    2) Click "Settings" at the top of any Gmail page,
    3) click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP",
    4) select "Enable IMAP".
    5) Click "Save Changes".
    *Creating a new account in Apple Mail*
    To add a Google Mail IMAP account in Mail.app, go to File > Add Account. A wizard will open which prompts you to insert your Name, the eMail-address of the new account and the password. Don’t use the option for automatic configuration if it’s available. Info on what to type into the different fields can be obtained from Google [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799&topic=12814]. The most important are:
    1) Incoming Server: imap.gmail.com, port 993 (using SSL)
    2) Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com, port 465 or 587 (using SSL)
    3) Your account name is your full email address including "@gmail.com" (without the quotation marks)
    *Configuring the Google Mail account in Apple Mail*
    After you have added your Google Mail IMAP account to Mail.app, you’ll find a section for Google Mail in Mail.app’s sidebar with subfolders like "All Mail" (which has in turn several subfolders) and folders for each label you created with GoogleMail. Now you have to configure the account properly. Despite what [Google recommends|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=1281 4], I found the following settings to work best for me.
    In the sidebar, navigate to the subfolders Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk of "Google Mail" (the one with the white folder icon instead of a blue one) in turn and go to "Mailbox" menu > "Use this mailbox for..." > Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk respectively. Afterwards these folders show up as subfolders to the main Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk folders in the sidebar (and at the same time disappear from the GMail section). Among others this step is necessary because of Google Mail’s implementation of labels. E.g., as Google states [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=12814]:
    Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (...) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail
    So if you want to delete a message you have to set the option to "Use this mailbox for… Trash" as described above. Same applies to sent messages etc.
    Furthermore, make sure every checkbox in Mail's Preferences > Accounts > GoogleMail > Behavior is checked . (Some will already and automatically be checked when you apply the option "Use this mailbox for..." as described above).
    *Some basic troubleshooting tips*
    1) If your counter for unread messages in Mail.app doesn’t refresh properly, go to "Mailbox" menu > "Sync all accounts".
    2) If you have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail e.g. for unread messages and every unread message of Google Mail shows up twice, then add the criterion "Message is not in mailbox" > "All Mail", and set the requirement for messages to comply with ALL conditions (instead of ANY). This is necessary because of every message there is a copy stored in All Mail.
    I hope these info will be regarded as helpful by anyone who tries to get started with Google Mail and experiences some problems on the way.
    The links given were accessible as of September, 3rd, 2008. The setup was tested on a MacBook with OS X 10.5.4 Leopard and Mail 3.4 (928/928.1).
    Good computing.

Despite what [Google recommends|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=1281 4], I found the following settings to work best for me.
    In the sidebar, navigate to the subfolders Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk of "Google Mail" (the one with the white folder icon instead of a blue one) in turn and go to "Mailbox" menu > "Use this mailbox for..." > Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk respectively. Afterwards these folders show up as subfolders to the main Trash/Sent/Drafts/Junk folders in the sidebar (and at the same time disappear from the GMail section). Among others this step is necessary because of Google Mail’s implementation of labels. E.g., as Google states [here|http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&topic=12814]:
    Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (...) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail
    So if you want to delete a message you have to set the option to "Use this mailbox for… Trash" as described above. Same applies to sent messages etc.
    Furthermore, make sure every checkbox in Mail's Preferences > Accounts > GoogleMail > Behavior is checked . (Some will already and automatically be checked when you apply the option "Use this mailbox for..." as described above).
    *Some basic troubleshooting tips*
    1) If your counter for unread messages in Mail.app doesn’t refresh properly, go to "Mailbox" menu > "Sync all accounts".
    2) If you have set up a Smart Mailbox in Mail e.g. for unread messages and every unread message of Google Mail shows up twice, then add the criterion "Message is not in mailbox" > "All Mail", and set the requirement for messages to comply with ALL conditions (instead of ANY). This is necessary because of every message there is a copy stored in All Mail.
    I hope these info will be regarded as helpful by anyone who tries to get started with Google Mail and experiences some problems on the way.

  • Apple Mail and Sent Messages

    I have been having some issues with my iCloud email account and Mavericks. I wasn't sure if this was an iCloud issue or an issue with Apple Mail. It has to do with saving Sent messages. A couple of months ago, I had some issues with Mail. I deleted the com.apple.mail and com.apple.MailServiceAgent folders in ~Library/Containers and I deleted any plist files in Preferences. It worked for a couple months. Then, about two weeks ago, I noticed Sent emails were not be saved any where on my iMac.
    So, I repeated the procedure and created Mail anew. It worked great for about a week. I always have the "save sent messages to server" option turned on. Then, one day I got some kind of message that a folder called "Sent" could not be created on the server. Looking at Mail, my Sent folder was completely gone. All of my previously saved messages in Sent were moved to the folder INBOXToDos.mbox/Sent Messages.
    At first I thought iCloud itself was messed up. I logged into iCloud. There was no Sent mailbox, and there was no INBOXToDo mailbox. So, now I have no sent messages anywhere in iCloud. I sent an email from Safari in iCloud, and then, iCloud created the Sent mailbox.
    Still, my Mavericks iMac will not save sent messages anywhere. I need help sorting this out and don't want to lose my previous sent messages even though they seem to be stored in some wonky folder.

    Where is the Sent Messages folder listed? If it is not under MAILBOXES but in an IMAP folder, select it and go to Mailbox menu, Use this mailbox for>Sent.
    It should disappear and sent messages then appear in the Sent folder.
