Con't. Serious error message re Mail.app w/respect to Mail Preferences not opening...

Hi all (& Linc)
In an earlier thread,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25906027#25906027
I prematurely reported a problem with Mail.app prefs not opening as being solved, when it turns out it hasn't been. The freezing of Mail.app upon invocation of Mail Prefs reintroduced itself, both with a suspected culptrit (the great DPS by Bongiovi) turned on and off and Quit Then, without any noticeable input, Mail.app suddenly righted itself and works as normal. I ran a test in Console and saw this foreboding log readout. It may still involve DPS. I'm reporting this same to the savvy engineers at Bongiovi, as well. What's to be done? I may be stumped, but I'm not giving up...
All best,
David

Resolved. Found another thread - had to move my Mail App back into the Applications folder and then re-apply Security update.

  • Mail, Skype, Safari and some system preferences not opening

    I wonder if anyone else has had this problem....my mac starts up but seems to skip loading things at the loading screen when it boots - When it gets to the desktop, Skype, mail (mac default program), and Safari do not open when clicked - I tried to go to user accounts in system preferences and that fails to open also - AIM, Fireofx and Transmit (FTP program) all work fine and are able to connect to the interent - It has done this before (months ago) and I ended up having to do a system restore to go back to factory settings - Yesterday it started this again and after 1/2 hour mail just popped open and all was well - It has been on for 4 hours so far and none of those programs are working - Has anyone else had issues like this ? any suggestions? I am using a Power Mac G5 cpu 1.8ghz and 1.25 gb of ram and 10.3.9 for system version - Any help is greatly appreciated
    thanks

    Have you done the basics? Repaired permissions, cleared caches, run cron jobs, booted from DVD and run disk repair etc.?
    It seems that when you did a restore, which I presume is an archive and install, it cleared up then over time whatever you do is corrupting things or the drive is on its last legs. Add a new drive (cheap) , clone the boot drive to it with Super Duper (free) and boot from that for a while.

  • Mail.app, Link on signature-icon does not open URL

    In a mail-signature I have a FaceBook-icon with a Hyperlink to a FaceBook-site.
    - This link works not in a received message, when the recipient is Mail.app on Yosemite.
    - With Mail.app on Mavericks it works well.
    Behaviour:
    - Double-Click opens the attached picture, but not the URL in the browser, as expected.
    - URL ist shown correctly on MouseOver
    ... sometimes, condition are not reproducible ....it works :-(
    To create the link I used the method as described at.  http://mac-fusion.com/clickable-social-media-icons-in-your-mail-app-signature/
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Any workaround in creating the Hyperlink - or is it a bug?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Re: "serious error" message when starting cs6

    Hi Everyone,
    I currently can't start cs6 6.0.5 on my MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 with 4 GB memory. I get the serious error message and then it shuts down. This also happened before I upgraded to 6.0.5 and then it worked fine for a couple months. Then, it started giving me the "serious error" message when I tried to capture video. Now, it just gives it to me again when I start the program. For weeks, I've searched the other "serious error" message threads, but haven't found a solution yet. I've reinstalled a bunch of times and cleared the preferences, but nothing's worked so far. I really need some help. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Right click your document, hover over "Open with..." and then click "Other".
    Find TextEdit and click "Open".
    TextEdit will then do it's best to open your document.
    If you have iLife, do the same but instead of opening with TextEdit open with Numbers, Pages, Keynote, e.t.c.
    To download iLife, click here.

    That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
    Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

  • I get error message user\anja\app data.....

    error message: user\anja\app data\temp\glf8de5.tmp  please help

    If you simply check the domain WERT7, you'll see that the checkbox for "Sign" is <b>not</b> checked. Therefore negative numbers are <b>not</b> allowed.
    Just because a field is decimal or currency does <b>not</b> mean that negatives are allowed.
    Many times, the sign is handled by a separate debit/credit indicator field such as a field with a domain of SHKZG.

    I cannot download nor update apps through Apps Store, error message states that app cannot be downloaded, to try again later, this has been happening for the  last five days. Help!
    It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

    I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power &amp; home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.
