What happens if you click the continue button? Does it take you to Mail?
One person solved it this way on the Mavericks community.

It just doesn't respond. I could click on an older PDF million times; nothing happens, but all the new PDFs created after the update open without any problems.

Not able to access mail after upgrade to yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite. I am unable to access my email via MACMAIL. I have confirmed settings with ISP have unchecked SSL...still keep getting prompt for the password. Yesterday I removed anything from the ISP in the keychain. I am still unable to access email. I continue to be prompted for the password which continues to reject. I am able to access the same mail via webmail so the password is good. I need help!!!

Last night it has been working for a few hours now it's down again since thee hours ago.
It's so annoying. Apple isn't able to operate a working e-mail system, doesn't provide any (free) support (not even to paying MobileMe customers ...) and doesn't provide any kind of information. Instead their status page is showing that everything is working just fine while many people on the forums, twitter etc. are complaining that mail isn't working.
I don't even know how many e-mails I should have received are simply lost ...

Can't read old mail after new Tiger install

I recently installed Tiger (and archived my old system) as an upgrade from 10.3.9. Since then, I can't read old messages in Mail. The original messages are deleted from my isp server once the messages are downloaded by Mail. When I open any message in Mail received before I insttalled Tiger I see, where one would normally see the body of the message, the following:
"The message from [email protected] concerning “Your receipt from Apple Store, xxxxx” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
When I attempt to reply to one of these messages, I can't type anything into the body of the message.
I am online when this happens. I see no "icons" (ie an lightening bolt) next to my inbox; everything appears to be normal. I, also, have approximately 20 gb of free space on my hard drive.
Any suggestions as to how I might retrieve or open old messages? Thanks.

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Can't read old mail after 10.5.3 update

Hi All,
For some reason, I can't read certain old emails after I upgraded to 10.5.3 in two of my mailboxes. The mail appears in the inbox as to who it is from along with the subject and date but nothing appears in the body. They can't be read in both the inbox and in the sent mail box. Everything seems fine in the other mailboxes.
I've replaced the actual mail folders in the library's mail folder but the problem still remains.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I'm having the same problem. Today after I upgraded to Leopard (I did a clean install and then copied all the old mails into the Library/Mail folder) some of the accounts won't show the body copy. Can anybody help as for what I need to do to fix it. I can't loose all the old saved emails. Thanks

Can't open iPhoto library after upgrade

I upgraded iphoto after install OSX Mavericks recently but I can't open iphoto library with the newer version.
(It says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.") So I want to know if I select to upgrade, my photos will be lost or not. Do I need to back up before?

Of course you need to back up first. You should always have a back up before you upgrade or update anything.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Then click upgrade.

How I fixed the "can't send e-mail after upgrade to 10.5.6" problem

Like many of you I couldn't send e-mail after the upgrade. After trying everything including re-install combo update, delete and resetting profile, etc. the thing that made it work was:
1. custom set the outgoing server port number to 25 (for Verizon, ask your ISP the output port number)
2. ensure the password authentication is set for outgoing e-mail.
Goto account setting, "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)", select "Edit Server list"
Under "Account Information" make sure "Description" is blank (as suggested in other posts)
Under "Advance Information", select Use Custom Port: type in the port number
On Authentication, select password, type in user name and password as in "incoming Mail Server"
Save it and test if it works.
It seems selection of the default outgoing port has some problems, even though 15 is one of the three defaults.

I just switched to Roadrunner and am having the same "can't send email" problem. I have done what you suggested, but the problem persists. I did note that in my outgoing mail server box it says: smtp-server.wi.rr.com:jzelinger3 (Offline). I'm not sure where the "Offline" is coming from or why it is there. Any suggestions? I performed the following Terminal tests with a tech. support person from Roadrunner:

Can't retrieve sky mail after upgrade to IOS6

I can't retrieve sky mail on my iPad 2 after update to IOS6, I can still get it on my iPhone 4 that hasn't been updated yet, so the problem is not with sky ? Any suggestions appreciated.

I have the same problem after upgrading my iPhone. I get my mail on iPad still - so it has nothing to do with provider. What's more I can send mails - they go through. But I can't retrieve any. Help/suggestions appreciated.

Can not get mail after upgrading to yosemite

I upgraded to yosemite and now get a message when i try to open my mail, that my mail is damaged?

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Excel file can't open via email after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2

After upgrading to OSX 10.9.2, my Excel files are not readable when sent by email. My version for Excel is 2008 for Mac V12.3.6.
I have no trouble opening Excel on my computer but cannot seem to send Excel files via email.

Thanks. Tried that and it works but I had found another alternative.
Didn't realise but my Excel file had the extension missing even though it was saved as xlsx. To solve the problem, I just clicked on 'Append the File Extension' when I 'Saved As' and it worked. Thanks for the alternative help anyway.

Can't open iWork's after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I JUST upgraded from Snow Loepard to Mountain Lion two days ago. I can't open iWorks does anyone know of a fix or an update to correct this issue?????
This is the message I get when opening Pages, Numbers and Keynote:

If you used the Mountain Lion installer it will have "migrated" your iWork software to the new system.
Unfortunately that doesn't always work properly. I had to reinstall mine from the original DVD.
If you can't find your DVD then you will have to purchase the iWork software individually from the Mac Store.
Just make sure to completely uninstall your existing iWork from your System first:

Can't Open Mac Mail after Recent Update

Last night I performed a software update and today I cannot open my mail application. When I do, I get the following error message:
You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in:
/Applications/iWork '09/Mail.app
It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
When I try to open Mail from the applications folder as it instructs, I still get the same error message. I did notice that when I view the program in the preview window that it says Mail version 4.6 even though the error message says 4.5. I would suspect that has something to do with the problem, but that's as good at troubleshooting as I get. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
