Cannot add new mail Account or iCal account

When I try to add a new Mail account (press " + " on the Mail -> Preferences -> Account tab) it temporarily darkens but nothing happens. Pressing "+" in iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts does not have an effect either.
Unlike in the case of other posters neither Mail nor iCal crashes. It just simply does not respond. At present I have two Mail accounts (created in an earlier version, probably Tiger) and no iCal account.
So far I have tried the following:
1) Press "Add account ..." in the File menue instead of pressing the "+" button. Result: No effect.
2) Use disk utility to repair permissions. Result: No effect.
3) Quit Mail; Move ~/Library/Mail, ~/Library/Mail Downloads, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop; Restart the Computer; Open Mail. Result: New Mail folders are created in ~/Library, a new com.apple.mail.plist is created. My .me account information is automatically recognized but I still cannot create another account, even not my second account that worked before.
4) Create a new user. Result: For the new user I can create at least 3 Mail accounts.
Obviously there is something wrong with my current user account, though I am not aware of any other symptoms. Any ideas how this can be repaired?

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

IPhon 4: After recently updating to version 7.1.2, all my past calendar entries disappeared and I cannot add new entries.

After recently updating to 7.1.2, all of my past calendar entries for 22014 disappeared and I cannot add new entries??

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will not send mail ?

cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will place messages in out box and not send ?

It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks.

Mutliple accounts: download new mails only for certain accounts

i have setup mail to have a few accounts. i can disable accounts in the preferences, but then they are not any longer shown in mail.
when i now open mail, all new mails from all accounts are retrieved. how can i have mail only download new mail for one (certain) account. maybe to trigger the download by hand? or have mail configured to download mails automatically for one account and manually for the others.
it is very anoying, when opening mail, that all accounts are processed. this takes time especially on a weak and slow internet connection, it also costs download traffic. i want to manually trigger the "get new mails" for accounts.
markus

thats not the point: i don't want the automatic push in the backround. setting "manual" only means: that the mails are retrieved when mail.app is openend. this is not what i want. i want to open mail.app and then choose which mails/accounts being retrieved!

Iphone 4s calendar events disappeared and I cannot add new events

Cannot add new selectors or edit existing CSS file with my Mac

I have just subscibed to Dreamweaver CC and I cannot add new selectors or edit the exisiting "main" css that comes with the tutorial. When asked to add selector a box appears but when I press enter/return twice it disappears. Also there is no option to edit existing properties. for example, to change a font color I pick color but there is no enter or "OK" option. I'm very puzzled and stuck.

The trial version of Dreamweaver is fully functional. The only limitation is that it stops working after 30 days. If you're having problems with getting the software to work correctly, it might be a good idea to try posting a question in the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, mentioning the fact that you've already posted here (otherwise, they might just transfer you back to this or one of the other Dreamweaver forums).
If you can't make changes to files, it might have something to do with permissions or the user account that you've logged onto the computer with.
When asking for help in the other forum, mention your operating system, and which version you're using. The problem might be related to your computer setup.

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.
-- [SCRIPT DB fillFieldFromAlist ]
Assuming that
the front document is a database one
and that a text field is selected,
run the script to select an item in a list
and paste it in the field.

Cannot Add New Form Fields

I'm troubleshooting a problem with an existing pdf document in our office. Though I install Acrobat I do not use it on a daily- hence my asking for assistance. The computer is an Optiplex 745 running WIN XP Pro SP 2 with all updates.
The doc is a 42 page human resources document that has both scanned and original (made in Word/Acrobat) pages. Though I can edit existing fields/boxes, I cannot add new ones. I can select "add fields", click and drag seeing the crosshairs and field/box area, but when I let go, nothing happens. No new field and no erorr messages.
I've checked the security- it's wide open (no security) and layers- it has none or only one. The user who reported the problem is using Acrobat 5.x, I've tested it in 5.x, and 9 (standard and pro) on my computer with no success. I've included screenshots of the doc info below in hopes that they might provide some clues as to the problem.
Thank you for any assistance that you may provide.

After discovering that the other primary user had a local copy of this form- I tried that in Acrobat 9 and it was editable. So it appears that it was the form itself.
I'm resaving the local document to the network drive (where the problem doc came from) and updating both primary users to Acrobat 9. One was using 5 the other 7. Hopefully that will prevent any further problems.
Thanks for your assistance.

I hate to add a third entry but this one will end the speculation about this problem.
Apple mail is not designed to create a new mail account! WIndows mail, all forms, is designed to create new mail accounts. If you are new to mac, and you try to create a new mail account and the account you try to create already exists because it belongs to some else, the a return code for an error is returned from the mail provider. Apple mail unfortunately trys to handle
the error but does not bother range checking the return code for validity. This results in what I said above and the mail crashes. Nothing that happens should ever cause a crash! There are a number of software errors in Apple mail that need attention. To fix this problem, just go to your email provider and create the account. Then add it in apple mail.
This will work without error.
