Apple mail won't open even though the amount of new mail is shown in top right corner of application?

I click to open the mail application but it never opens.  After waiting a few minutes the amount of notifications I have is shown on the icon but it still won't open.  Mail worked fine on my mac until I updated to Mavericks.  Please help!! I've already tried restarting and I also tried deleting my mail account off of mail and then adding it back but it still doesn't work.  I never made a backup so I can't go back to a previous version and I can't try a clean install.

I'm having almost the same trouble, and yes I did update to Safari 4 while I was still in Leopard 10.5.7. Now, in 10.6.1 my Mail app is suddenly getting this exception in the console log when trying to send via SMTP (to a server that the "connection doctor" validates as OK"):

    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • TB won't open even though Task Manager says its running. Why?

    Windows 8.1.
    TB worked fine 'til few days ago.
    Now it won't open even though Task Manager indicates it's running.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Thunderbird without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Thunderbird and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Thunderbird.

  • After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

    I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

    Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
    # [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
    # Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    # Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
    If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
    If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.

  • My "photo's" won't open even though i have used the camera, it says i have no photos or the App fails to open all together

    even though i have used my camera, when i click at the bottom left to view my captured images the app closes. when i go to "photo's" the app either fails to open or says i have no photos. what am i doing wrong? i have owed an iphone for 3 years and this has never happened.

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • My application won't open, even from the original app file. I don't even get an error message. What can I do?

    I have lightroom 5.7 x64bit. I've had the most recent upgrade for over a year. I had to shut my computer off, so I closed out of LR and now the applicaton will not start. I've tried opening it from shortcut, from point of origin file. the window churns then stops, no error message--nothing. Help

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.

  • Amdccle won't open even though qt is installed

    I tried arch for the first time about a month ago and have learned a ton already.  However I am posting in the newb corner because this seems like a pretty newby issue.  I have two installations of arch linux.  This may be unusual, but I am using linux primarily for gaming and emulation and find that arch has the best performance.  I have one install with open source radeon driver so I can use retroarch with its unique kms feature.  I have another install with catalyst proprietary installed so I can play my steam games and other emulators.  Everything is great except I cannot get into catalyst control center on my newer installation after installing fglrx.  The driver itself is working fine but I need to get into CCC to set some things up manually.
    I already have qt installed and I am recieving the error
    amdcccle: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I was guessing maybe it is looking for qt4 when I actually have qt5 installed.  This is just a guess however and don't really have a clue how to fix it.  If it matters I am using openbox.  Alternatively if anyone can just tell me how to enable tear free video manually via a config file that would also be helpful as that is what I am most concerned with at the moment.

    actually I seem to have solved it by installing dbus-qt, but thank you for the reply.  I decided to give up on the proprietary driver after it almost destroyed my laptop last night (wouldn't boot for an hour after a crash).  Its not worth it so I'll stick with open source drivers anyhow.  Thanks again

  • Apple Configurator won't open.

    I am teacher using a class set of iPads for the first time. I had hoped to use Apple Configurator to sync iPads and manage everything.
    When I first tried, I got the message during the Prepare stage that the Apple ID wasn't authorized. I authorized the MacBook Pro OSX I am using to use the Apple ID I wanted so that worked. Then, I got the error message during the Supervise stage that it cannot install app. I never figured out which one after some trial and error.
    But, NOW Apple Configurator won't open - it says the file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format. How can I totally get rid of a file and start again?
      I've tried moving to the trash, emptying the trash and then reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer. I've tried using both of my iTunes accounts to get it from the App Store and every time I try to open it, the same error message comes up. Is there some temporary or other file that I need to get it out of in order to start new?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can try completely deleting your configurator data folder. This should reset the app to a clean state, but you will lose all device and user data.
    For Configurator 1.2 or later, delete the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator
    For Configurator 1.1 or previous, delete the folder ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator.

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • I recently upgraded to Fios Quantum and have a new ActionTech router. As a result my PC is no longer communicating with my APPLE TV.It must have a firewall or ports beegin blocked preventing the homesharing and communication even though the APPLE TV is on

    I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios Quantum high speed internet and was given an ActionTec router. I sucessfully installed all and connected wth my Apple TV. Although it worked initially it no longer does.  Something appears to be blocking  the Homesharing between my PC and the AppleTV even though the Apple TV is successfully connected to my home network. I spoke with an Apple Support Tech who was unable to help me becuase I have a PC! He admitted this is a common problem with FIOS and PCS. There must be a port that needs to be opened in the router. I do not beleive it is anything to do with my antivirus software or Windows Defender as i uninstalled all and still not communication. Must be a port within the routter that is blocking tis communication. On my Itunes you can see that it does not see the Apple TV. Please advise.

    I'd have to agree. I set my vms and two clients on Saturday in one hour. I think the picture is better I did not see an issue with the brightness. For the heck of it I recorded five channels at once to test it. I've also noticed when playing a recorded show on the client everything responds a lot quicker. So I am impressed and curious to see what new features come later.
    Kudos to verizon.

  • My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

    My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
    Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
    P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

    You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
    Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
    Upgrade Fee
    It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
    Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
    One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

  • The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

    the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button.  Any ideas?

    If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.
