Deleted mail shows up again, need to force quit, won't load new messages.

I've been having email issues after upgrading to OSX 10.8.2 Everything is fine with first opened and then after a bit starts to act funky. I will delete messages and they will pop back up, it won't load new emails unless I shut it down and restart. It also won't close unless I force quit. This has been happening for a while. I am using GoDaddy for my email server and the Mac Mail App. I mainly use one email (the godaddy email) and have many, many "mailboxes/folders" in that account. I wasn't sure if the amount of "mailboxes/folders" was why I am having the issues, or the best way to go about saving them was. I'd like to be able to save the actual "mailbox/folders" as they are organized by project, but noticed the archive function doesn't let you put in folders. I included a screen shot of how my innox is set up in case that helps. Thank you for help, let me know if there's anything else I should include.

I trying to use organizer,and deleted folder showing up again,sometimes in double, and pictures show

I tryinfg
to use organizer: deleting my old files, and saving others for a folder called PICTURES.
Deleted fiels showing up again, sometimes in dobel.
Some saved picture show with a "?" mark in the upper right corner. With these i can not work again. Can not be found, and not in the Finder.
Plese help,
Thank you very much.

The quote is meant as a humorous tag line - a deliberate paradox (or maybe false dichotomy). I don't recall where I first came across it but have been using it since around 1992. I later found it was written by American author and humourist Sam Levenson - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/sam_levenson.html.
For your Organizer problem, have you ONLY used the Organizer to move the files around or did you use the Finder as well?
If you moved or deleted with the finder this would explain the '?' you see in the images. The Organizer keeps track of where they are for itself and if you use the Finder to move or delete things the Organizer is not 'aware' of that fact.
Now if you want to remove all these '?' items from your catalog, you can use Find> All Missing Files. When it has done its thing the Organizer will show all those images where the links are no longer valid. You can use Edit> Select All to select them all and press Delete. answer 'No' to the question about deleting from hard disk.
If instead you want the Organizer to try and recreate the connections use File> Reconnect> All Missing Files. This can take a long time if there are lots missing.
Once you have the '?' items sorted out you can use Find> By Visual Searches> Duplicate photos. When it has done it's thing it will show what it thinks might be duplicates and you can choose to Delete those you don't want. In this case you probably do want to delete the duplicates from the hard disk.

When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

Mail doesn't shut down; need to Force Quit

Hi
Recently the Mail on my iMac has stopped shutting down (Alt-Q, or Mail/Quit, etc). To stop it, I need to Force Quit. Mail seems to go out to places I send to, and mail comes back in, but it won't shut down.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
thanks

I've been having this problem for several months. In fact, I was experiencing it on my G5 tower, under 10.5.6, and I had hoped that replacing the entire computer with a new iMac, and a brand new operating system, would make it go away. No Joy. Apparently the MIgration Assistant helped the problem migrate to my new machine.
But I'm posting this because I think it's significant that the problem exists independently of the operating system or hardware. I think there is some kind of plug-in or extension which can be transferred between machines and software versions.
Specifics: I can't quit mail normally on the desktop which was migrated from my old machine. 'Quit' grays out in the menu, but the program doesn't stop running. I can compose, send, and retrieve email as if nothing is wrong. This problem does not appear when I create a new desktop account and log in on that one. Mail quits normally on that desktop. But on the migrated desktop, I can never quit normally. Force quit will work, though, which is an improvement over 10.5.6, when I had to do a hardware reset.

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit it. How do I fix this?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.

Pages (5.2) won't quit on 27" iMac with OS 10.9.2. I need to force quit and then reopen. Fortunately the document is saved. Anyone else have this issue?

In summary I purchased a new 27" iMac with Mavrickes, OS 10.9.2. When I try to close a Pages (v5.2) document after saving the document the application freezes and I get the spinning rainbow ball. I then need to Force Quit Pages. When the Pages application is reopened the documents pop back up, with the data saved after the Force Quit, I am able to close the document. Any suggestions?
I deleted Pages and then reinstalled a new downloaded copy of the application and the issue persists.

If you migrated from an older Mac, Pages '08/'09 might still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

After effects gets stuck at 98% loading a file..... Needed to force quit over a dozen times

I've been working color grading about a minute of footage in AE, and imported that comp into Premiere Pro.
The color grading file was dealing with lots of different pieces of footage that make up the sequece. I need to open the AE file in order to render it, but it gets stuck at 98% loaded and freezes up. I've needed to force quit at least a dozen times. Is there a fix to this? Do I need to rebuild the file?
I work on a macbook pro with 16GB of ram and an i7 3.6Ghz processor so I should have no problem with these files. In fact, I also do work with an animation studio, and we work with large 5k image sequences plus digital faces plus other elemets, and their files are much larger.
Please help quickly! I'm on a deadline and can't proceed until this is fixed.
Thanks,
Bear
Oh, and if it helps at all, I'm using the CS6 version.

Does the AE project file open? Render out the clips, then quit AE. Import the clips into Premiere. Deadline met.
I'm on an HP Workstation with 24GB RAM and I wouldn't even think about trying to import an AE project file into PP for critical work.

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

Keep getting deleted emails back and mail will not close,have to force quit

i have 4 emails that will not stay deleted.I will delete them and as soon as i reopen my mail they come back.Its as if they never left.Then i can't close my mail.i have to force quit. I have read of other problems close to mine and tried there solutions with no success.I do not know if my setting in pref. are correct or not. This problem is not allowing me to recieve new emails i just keep getttting these same 4 back time after time. very frustrating.

You're welcome.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
In order to fix the problem, we'll have to re-create Envelope Index. The thing is, Mail may choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for that or perform optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). Assuming this is a POP account, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/, and identify the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). Move to the Trash the troublesome *.emlx files found in step 1.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
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.

Acrobat Pro Freezes completely so I need to Force Quit

I hope I am posting in the right place. Please let me know if I should move this. I am so desperate-- I have tried everything I can think of and I hope someone has another idea I can try.
I am using Acrobat Pro. When the problem started I was using Pro X. I tried upgrading to the trial Acrobat XI to see if that fixed the problem, but it didn't. I don't care which I use as long as it works.
The program starts up, but I can't click on any of the choices on the "splash screen" (where you can choose Open a Recent File or Select a Task). When I roll over the choices I see the rollover highlight, but nothing happens when I click. I can open a file from the FILE menu, but when I do I can't do anything with it. None of the tools on the window tool bar work. Then the whole thing freezes and I have to Force Quit to close the program.
I am on a Mac running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 with a 3.2 GHz Intel Cose i3 processor and 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. When the problem started I was using Lion 10.7.5, so I tried upgrading to Mountain Lion, but it didn't fix the problem.
Here is what I have tried:
> Uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Pro X numerous times
> Installing, uninstalling, reinstalling Acrobat Pro XI
> Installing in Safe Mode
> Uninstalling every other Adobe product I had (After Effects Trial, inDesign 5, Adobe Reader)
I also tried various things I found in the Forums-- so many that I can't remember now. One had to do with moving certain preference files and opening the program again, one was the fix for a CS6 conflict problem.
When the problem first started I discovered that my Time Machine backup was not working because my backup disc was full and Time Machine wasn't deleting the old backups. I didn't have a recent backup so I didn't want to do a system restore to before the problem. I got a new 4TB external drive for Time Machine, and got a 3TB external drive to clear a bunch of large documents off my main hard drive.
I am willing to try anything. Please help!!!

Well, after two weeks of pulling my hair out I finally figured it out last night! The problem was a bad mouse driver. I use an Evoluent mouse (which I LOVE) but it is an older model and I suppose the update from OX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 just kicked the driver into incompatiblity. I had tested the mouse a week or so ago and my Mac wireless mouse worked but didn't solve the problem because when I did the test I didn't actually unplug the Evoluent mouse. Once I did that last night, and used only the Mac wireless mouse, Acrobat went back to working properly.
I just ordered the newest Evoluent mouse which is compatible with OS X. I can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow!!
Thank you to everyone who viewed this question and tried to think of a solution.

I keep getting "Mail Not Responding" and have to force quit

I can't even get to "Mail Doctor" because the spinning beachball starts up instantly. I have to force quit to get it to stop. Mail is working on all my other eight devices but not my primary iMac. What the heck?

What OS version are you running? If 10.8/9 try the below.
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.
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.

Need to force quit programs to shut down or restart

I have an MDD G4 and a G5.
The G5 is smooth as silk– few problems.
I run Tiger on both and Adobe CS2. When I go to shut down or restart I almost always have to force quit the CS2 programs, (as well as other programs like Firefox, mail, text edit), on the G4, almost never on the G5.
I've repaired permissions, downloaded updates to the system, etc.
Could it be a hardware issue as I'm running the same software on my other machine?

I have had problems like this also. I have a Power Mac G5.
I tried to turn on my bluetooth mouse and it worked for a little bit then it froze. I had to restart with another mouse, since then my bluetooth will not open, it freezes when I try, the upper right corner is messed up, the clock does not appear anymore and when I move my mouse up there it shows a spinning icon??? Then when I go to shutdown it will not and shows a spinning icon in the middle of my screen. I have to force quit computer. Everything else seems to be working fine.
I redid my permissions. Any ideas anyone?????
