Apple Mail cancels shut down?

This is getting old, my Apple Mail, cancels shut down everytime I close down my laptop, I am running Mavericks and
don't see any fixes on the horizon for the good folks at Apple, any suggestions on how to fix this flaw?

Use the Window menu in Mail to open the Connection Doctor window and the Activity Window to get full visibility to what Mail is doing.
I often find the problem is a simple operation that is being handled very, very slowly by my ISP Mail Server -- the problem is not on my Mac. For me, the solution has been to click on the stop sign in the Activity window so that Mail abandons its latest attempts to talk to a reluctant Mail server, and then it will shut down instantly.
Your anger at Apple over this issue may be misplaced.

  • Computer wont shut down. Says mail canceled shut down to go quit mail and shut down in apple menu. But when I do it just pops up the same windows again. Help ?

    Computer will not shut down for me.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Press Alt, Command and Esc keys, choose Mail and force quit it. Then, turn off your Mac.
    If it doesn't work, hold Control, Command and Eject keys to force a restart, or hold the Power button until your MacBook Pro turns off

  • Apple Mail prevents Shut Down

    Even with last update 10.10.1, still have this problem on Mail. I use iCloud + 2 gmail account.  Anyone else?

    That's all I have. I think you should post this in the forum that handles 10.8 Mail.

    Close Safari before shutting down your computer. Also, go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions and update your extensions to the most recent version, and if it doesn't work, open Safari > Reset Safari

  • MAC warning : "The [AIRapplicationname] canceled shut down"

    "The [AIRapplicationname] canceled shut down", this is the
    message I get when I try to shutdown/restart a Mac (OS X 10.4.11)
    while my AIRapp is still running, which is kinda annoying...
    Does anyone know what causes this message to popup and how to
    solve it?
    thanks! / katsu

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select that application, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

  • My macbook pro will not shut down. It tells me that safari has cancelled shut down and to quit safari and try again, but every time I try to quit safari it won't let me. I need help...I don't know what to do.

    My macbook pro will not shut down. It tells me that safari has cancelled shut down and to quit safari and try again, but every time I try to quit safari it won't let me. I need help...I don't know what to do.

    Have you tried holding the power button down for several seconds? I would try the force quit as mentioned earlier first, or go to the Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities and try force quit there.

  • Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reconnect before I can use it.  Any suggestions?

    Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reboot before I can use it.  This makes turning on Apple TV a very long process.  Any suggestions?

    That would be very hard to do, as I would have to do a lot of things--including moving furniture to get at the back of a receiver--and I'm not at all sure that the receive could accommodate it.
    The process is like this:  I dial the receiver to the Apple TV input.  The light comes on, like it's connecting, but then the Apple TV goes dark before any connection happens.  Then I unplug the power cord, wait a few moments, and plug it back in.  Then the Apple TV actually connects, but only after a full reboot (setting time, etc).

  • Mac won't boot, Grey bar appearing at the bottom of Apple Logo then shuts down

    Hi,
    I'm using a Late-2011 Macbook Pro and it is running on OS X Mavericks. One day, my laptop just shut itself down and when I turn it on, it won't boot. It just gives me a grey progress bar under the apple logo then shuts down. I tried accessing the DU and tried verifying and repairing the disk but I am unable to copy my files to another drive. It gives me an input/output error. I am not very tech savvy and I badly need my files. Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

    If restoring the phone as new did not solve your problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Apple TV radio shuts down after 10 minutes

    Apple TV radio shuts down after 10 minutes.  Can not find out why.  Could version 7.0 be the problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Seems to be an issue for a large number of users, probably need to wait for a fix.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • TS3899 iPhone 5s Mail app shut down automatically when try to send email

    I just set up new iPhone 5s two days ago from iPhone 5.
    Everything works fine except Mail app.
    Due to Mail app, I had to set up new configuation instead of back up from old iPhone 5.
    Mail app works fine 1 day, but after the day after, the mail app shut down automatically when try to send email.
    Just one specific email account has problem. It worked fine on iPhone 5. Same setting on Pop and SMTP. Exactly same~~
    - I did try to reset iPhone 5s pressing home button and sleep button for 10 second. It did not work
    - I did try to reset all information and install iPhone 5s and the problem still exists.
    - I did try to delete specific email account and re-make it, but it did not work
    Funny thing is that if Lanuague is English, then sending email is working. Absolutely no problem.
    However, if Language setting is Korean, then Mail App shut down automatically.
    I'm heavy email maker and if it is very annoying.
    Does anyone have same issue like this?
    I believed it is iOS7 bug?
    Can anyone help me on this???

    Am having similar problems with a new iPad Air. It will recieve email in Mail as directd from my domain email account. It will not send, advising server does not recognise account. I have checked and re checked settings.
    My computer and old iPad work perfectly. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
    By the way sending email directly from the domain email account works perfectly but I prefer using Mail.

  • Ical cancels shut down

    Shut down is cancelled or prevented by iCal. I close iCal. Before I can shut down, iCal reopens on it's own cancelling shut down. Only after several attempts of closing iCal am I able to shut down.

    Thats happening to me as well.
    Any ideas on it? You get it fixed?
