Can't open my mail icon, as soon it launches it shuts down immediately

Can't open my mail icon, as soon it launches it shuts down immediately

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely and then re-opening it ? From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could 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.

I can not open the mail icon

All of a sudden I can not open my mail icon, zilch nothing HELP! please

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Mail. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I have an imac osx 5 mos.old. First time today I can not open my desktop folder/files. I need to read them. Message is: appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly. I need to read them. Is it possible that new software downloaded yesterday is problem?

I have an imac osx 5 months old. For the first time today I can not open my desktop folders which are very important to me. How can I open these folders.
The message when I click on the folder is "appleworks 6 quit unexpectedly". I can not open the folder. Is it possible that new software installed could cause the problem when I get the message "new softward available for your computer, install now. Maybe I should never install upgrade. Please help in layman's language how to open my folders. Thanks.

The curious thing here is that on the one hand the code cannot be loaded so how could the trojan code be ever executed. But you would expect the "Unexpectedly quit" message if the intel trojan did get executed in a ppc app. So this begs the question when (and how) does the trojan code get executed in conjunction with launching an app?
I understand code injected into a specific app like safari that uses the global environment variable to access the code in /Users/Shared. But I don't understand how that code could be executed by attempting to run an randomly chosen ppc app. Unless of course other code has been injected is in a more critical place than just safari and that is scary.
Some of this was explained to us a few weeks back by an infected user who reverse engineered the code, working with Intego to figure out why he was being re-directed on Google searches. At the time, nobody believed much of anything he was saying, but F-Secure explains it more fullly in this analysis. Note that there is a filter component to keep it from loading code into apps that would be unstable, so watch for the next variant to filter out ppc only apps.
In a related matter, I got word from the PC side of the house that similar techniques are being used by drive-by infections that were injecting code into a running app which would disappear when they quit the app. A one-time infection, so to speak. Makes it really hard to even know you were temporarily infected, let alone how, why, what damage, etc.

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

[bug] Can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
Anyways, thanks for the help

Hi there,
Could you clarify what you mean with the Bookmark icon? Either with a screenshot or by describing how it looks like.
Here is a general Bookmarks tutorial that shows how to use bookmarks in Firefox. Maybe it can be of help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-websites
Thanks!

I can't open the "phone" icon on my 3GS.

I can't open the "phone" icon on my 3GS. I starts to open when I press it but then i goes back to the home screen. I can receive calls but now as a result I can't make calls. I've done a restore on the phone and still no luck. Help!

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

I can't open my mailbox. I click on the icon but nothing happens. I also cannot reboot the computer because it keeps saying I need to close the mail account, which is not open. HELP!

I cannot shut down or restart my computer. The message tells me to close my mailbox, but I cannot open my mailbox, so I am stuck - can't reboot nor can I open my mail to quit mail. HELP!!

Use Force Quit under the Apple, or by clicking the Mail icon. You might also try force quitting the finder.

Adobe X: Can't open multiple files by double-clicking

I have Adobe Reader version 10.1.0.534 running on Windows XP SP3. Once I have a .pdf file open, I cannot open additional .pdf files by double-clicking on their icon from within a folder or on my Desktop. I can only open them by going through the File>Open dialog in Reader or by dragging the icon onto the open Reader window. I can open the first .pdf file by double-clicking, just not any after that. This behavior is new in Adobe X.
Does anyone else see this?
Is this by design? If so, why? It seems to be an unneccessary annoyance and a deprecation.
Thanks

Hi Valerie,
What happens if you try to open the same files after launching Acrobat, by choosing File > Open?
Has anything changed since on your system since you were able to open Acrobat/PDF files by double-clicking?
For starters, please try repairing the Acrobat installation by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
