Mail issues, cannot open or close

I cannot open my mailbox. I click on the stamp with the eagle on it, and on gray bar where things open up it says "mail", but i cannot write or read messages, and i cannot quit the application. No content is shown, no emails or anything. It is just my computer background. I tried to quit mail, but it will not let me do that. I cannot restart my computer, because mail is not closed. So if mail will not fully open, yet it is open enough to not be able to restart my computer without quitting, but there is no quit option and the commandQ button is not working ,how do i go about getting rid of this problem??

You seem to have some serious flaws on your harddisk.
Do you ever run maintenance software (e.g.
MacJanitor) or switch off your Mac every day? It's
doing some maintenance by itself in the middle of the
night if you leave it on.
This reply gets more & more detailed, just begin with
the first instructions and see of that helps. If not,
work down the list of suggestions or post back for
more instructions.
Run Disk Utility - Repair Permissions and if that
brings up a whole set of issues, try something more
serious like Disk Warrior.
MacJanitor (free)
DiskWarrior
(not free)
If you want more details on these problems, have a
look here for
Resolving Disk, Permission and Cache Corruption,
it gives you a comprehensive description of how to
deal with these problems. Plus some notes on side effects of cache cleaning
Useful Cache cleaning programs:
Cache Out X free
Tiger Cache Cleaner not free
OnyX

Thank you for your very prompt reply. I will follow your suggestions and post back. No, I do not use any other programme such as you have suggested. I usually put my computer to sleep overnight.
However, maybe I have discoverd a clue. When I opened e-mail Back Up just now, I got a message:
"Please finish editing and close the editing window before openiong a back up."
I fear I may have been working on an e-mail while thye Back Up was in progress. Coulod this have been a cause?
I also note that my back up programme dialogue box now tells me that there are no scheduled back ups for e-mail or for my home folder. I hesitate to instruct it to continue with back ups until I find out whatt the problem is.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Cannot open page on iPad 2 when I try to download Apple apps

When I try to get an app I get a message that the page cannot be opened, Safari does not recognize the address but I am in apple.com?

I was looking for a solution to the problem I was having with syncing apps and downloading them. It is pretty hard to find the correct wording to say what you are looking for. My problem was that if I wanted to download a app from the app store it would say "safari cannot open the page because it is invalid", also when I would go into the iPad via cpu and try from there it was all gray and I could not do anything with it.
Your solution was my solution, thank you for that.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Cannot open movie on ipad

I purchased a movie on Itunes and try to sync to ipad. It give me a CANNOT OPEN message when i try to play it. I have never had this message with any other movies i have purchased in the itunes store. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Thank you

I wiped my iphone as there was an issue with the audio.
Decided not long after to wipe my laptop also.
I downloaded my purchases back onto my laptop. Tried to sync, and got the same error.
Deleted the purchases from my iphone. Went into Itunes on the iphone and downloaded a purchase right on the iphone. Same problem.
Any solution for that? It is happening with more than one movie. In particular, The fast & the furious, the fast and the furious: tokyo drift.
Some movies work, like Fast & Furious (the fourth installment).
I have unlimited bandwidth so I don't care how many ways or times I have to try to get this to work again on my iphone, but please there needs to be a solution.

Cannot open projects on iPad created with Mac

HI,
I want to transfer projects I created on my mac in garageband (6.0.5) to my iPad, but it's not working.
First I tried to just copy an existing file. It will show up in the loops audio files, but I cannot select it or use it.
I then tried to create a project on the iPad itself, transfer that to my mac and then change it, save it, and copy it back to the ipad, but once I save to my mac it will no longer copy back to the iPad. Am I missing something. I have all the latest updates installed.
I already tried this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4574 but my version of GarageBand is the most recent already, also I really have no problem importing the file from ipad to itunes and then saving it to my mac. Once I try to open it in GarageBand, the first thing it wants to do is make a copy, I'm thinking it saves it to a format the ipad doesn't support.
I found a thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2778495?start=15&tstart=0 but this can't be the only way since Apple is promoting compatibility between all devices...
Can someone help me with this?
thanks!

Hmm, I think that despite the wording in that support article things aren't really set up yet so that you can round trip a GB for iOS project out to a Mac for further editing and then back again. GB for iOS has a subset of the functionallity of the full program and while the second link shows that it can be done, I would assume the resulting project will only work if all the loop resources are in place and no unsupported features are invoked while working on the Mac. Perhaps the next version of GarageBand for Mac will have an export to iOS compatible file.

Cannot open hotmail in ipad

Hi for 2 days now I cannot use hotmail from Mail. Error message said no connection to server. I tried to open from safari and got the same error. There is no problem opening in iPhone. How can resolve problem on ipad please?

What happens if you tap the home button from that page?
I think you must have push turned on for your mail, and that is the first thing it is trying to do. But from anyscreen, any time, if you hit the home button, it should return you to the home screen. From there, go to settings and do the work on the mail section.

Cannot open Reader on Ipad

I've been having problems with the AR app on my IPad - the first I've ever had. In the last few days I've tried to open the app but all I get is a blank page - a gray column on the left and a white space on the right, nothing more. I've tried deleting and re-installing AR but to no avail. I have not updated to iOS 8 yet. What's worse, nothing seems to have been backed up to iCloud. Any insight would be most helpful, thanks!

cv67,
Does Adobe Reader for iOS disappear after a while or just sit there displaying the "blank page" permanently?
Is your iPad a "Wi-Fi only" or "Wi-Fi + Cellular" model?
We have heard of some Wi-Fi connectivity issues from the users with the "Wi-Fi + Cellular" model and iOS 8 (but not iOS 7).
I've tried opening PDF documents online...
Do you first open a PDF document in Safari on your iPad then choose "Open In" to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS?
I tried the following steps on my iPad.
Open the following PDF document (which is relatively small in file size) in Safari.
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/creativecloud/cc/pdfs/cc-enterprise-ove rview-ue.pdf
Tap "Open In" and select Adobe Reader for iOS.
It opened successfully in Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.4 for me. I used an iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only, no Cellular) running iOS 7.1.2.
Could you try opening the PDF document above to see if it works for you? You can also try opening it in iBooks instead. (The result will tell you if the problem happens only with Adobe Reader for iOS or not.) The PDF document that you are trying to open may be too large or your Internet connection via WiFi/Cellular may be too slow.
Unfortunately, it is hard to diagnose the problem because I cannot take a look at your iPad in person. Your help and patience would be appreciated.
Here are a couple of things that you could try.
Turn Settings > Wi-Fi off and on.
Reset or restart your iPad. See Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Terminate the Adobe Reader app by pressing the home button twice and swipe up the app. Then launch it again to see if it starts without opening a PDF document.
Download your PDF document on a Mac or Windows computer, transfer the PDF document to your iPad using iTunes, and open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
See the "How to transfer PDF documents from your computer to your iPad/iPhone" section in How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
The last option is obviously not a feasible solution for a long term. There is another option for "Reset Network Settings", if you suspect that your problem is caused by bad Internet connectivity. But it is rather time-consuming to re-enter network configuration information. So let's leave it as the last resort.
Please let us know if any of the above works for you.
Lastly, regarding your iCloud backup problem, is it configured to back up automatically?
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
iCloud - Backup - Apple Support
It is an Apple issue, if iCloud backup is not working.
Please note that if you uninstall any iOS app, the associated app data (local files, preferences, etc. that are locally stored on your iPad) will be erased by iOS. You can restore everything (including app data) from iCloud if you have made a backup automatically or manually before.

Cannot open pdf on ipad 3

I have tried to open pdf files on my mail application on ipad 3 but it shows 'Please wait....If this message is not eventually replaced.....You can upgrade to the latest version......'. I downloaded the adobe reader from the apps store but it still doesn't work. Please help. Thank you.

Viewing pdf files in Mail has nothing to do with Reader for iOS. You would need to open the pdf in the Mail program then move it to Reader IF you wanted to use the Reader program. The problem with the pdf file can be due to either the type of PDF file not being supported, the file not downloading from the mail server, or some other glitch. I recommend restarting the iPad and trying again.

I cannot open pictures in Ipad emails. Is this normal?

I am finding I can't open pictures that are sent to me with the IPAD. Is it supposed to be like this, or is there an app for that? TY

Thanks. Some have problems at times opening previously opened attachments. Perhaps others will com up with a suggestion. Meanwhile, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe! ........ and try your emails again.
