Email and safari disappeared

February 11, 2014 - Email and Safari have disappeared from my IPod Touch. By this I mean the icons are still there, but it opens only to a white screen. Everything was working this morning and then a couple of hours later they were gone. What is going on? How can this be fixed?

Okay, I figured how to fix it by rebooting the IPod. I held down the home button and the power button until the Apple logo appeared. When it appeared I stopped holding down the buttons and waited for the IPod to start up on its own. It took several seconds, but then finally clicked onto my home screen. I checked my mail and safari and they were both working again! I'm not sure why the problem occured. I read somewhere that Gmail was having some kind of "bug" problem, which might have caused a glitch perhaps.

When I try to send a link to a page from Safari, I get a message saying that sending the message to the server failed. It places a copy in the outbox. All other email and safari functions work properly. Ipad 2 IOS 7.1

My Ipad2 works fine except when I try to email myself a link to a safari webpage. I get an error message saying that the message failed to connect to the server. It says that a copy of the message has been left in the outbox. I cannot get the message from the outbox. All other email and safari functions work as expected.
I have cleared data and cookies, powered down, and done a reset. Nothing seems to help.

Typing in additional text seems to get the job done. This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest. Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
Thanks.

My camera and safari disappeared. I also have a passcode that I must enter and I can't remove it. These areas are grayed-out in settings as well.apple support said probably a software problem. But I didn't want to pay the $70 so I'll try this support

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and both my email and safari do not work. Help please

I just downloaded Mountain Lion on my IMAC and now neither my email or Safari are working. Do not believe I can find anything that came with the computer it is about four years old. Can anyone help me?? I am on my ipad doing this.

After ALL updates were completed both email and safari working just fine.

App Store is not opening. Email and Safari are opening but App Store does not saying cannot connect, App Store is not opening. Email and Safari are opening but App Store does not saying cannot connect

even with my phone connected on wifi App Store gives a message "cannot connect to App Store". This when email and Safari are working normally.

Mr Brett, thanks for the reply but my situation remains unchanged. Let me amplify my problem.
My Mac Book, iPad and iPhone are using the same WiFi connection. Every device is able to connect to the internet, email connectivity is good, safari is working perfectly, Apple Store is fully accessible (except on the iPhone) and updates have been received for IOS as well as the various apps.
It is only on the iPhone 6 that message"cannot connect to appstore...." is being displayed whenever App Store is invoked. Surprisingly if i keep pressing the "update" button the page indeed opens but only for a second and I have been able to press update buttons for apps in that second. The app is even getting updated even as the message "Cannt..." continues to be displayed. However, the other buttons like "Featured" "Top Charts" "Explore" and "Search" are not opening for at all. Only the message "Cannot connect to App Store" is displayed.
Help!!

I can't prevent Spotlight from returning results from emails and Safari

Try as I might, I can't prevent Spotlight from returning results from emails and from Safari web browser history.
I've toggled the two relevant boxes in the Spotlight system preferences, and rebuilt the index, but it still returns results from categories that I have deselected (like emails and webpages).
The system preferences say "Only selected categories will appear in Spotlight search results". If only it were true!

I think this could be a reason, your settings regarding indexing of mail messages didn't stick.
I'm having other problems with security update 2008-005.
It'd be interesting to know if OnyX is able to fix your problem again. Hopefully its doings survive the next update.

Using Iphone for calls and Wifi only for emails and safari

I have a new iphone which is uk based and have a pay as you go card inside
what i want is for it too only use pay as you go for calls and wifi (free in my house and office!) for collecting my emails and going online -
i have set - fetch new data to off but my pay as you go card took 5uk pounds in one day.
Now if i take my sim out is works perfect - they way i want it for now but I cannot be contacted on the phone!!! opps
Please assist this novice iphone owner

One of the problems you're up against is that the iphone is designed to always have a data connection. There is no way, currently, to completely eliminate that data connection & still use the iphone as a phone. OS 4.0, when released this summer, will add the capability to completely turn that connection off, but OS 4.0 has not been released yet. When the iphone goes into sleep mode, it will disconnect from WiFi(to save battery) and connect to the cellular data network for any application that might need data. Again, a design feature that cannot be currently overridden.

I can't send emails and Safari has issues

I am unable to send emails from one of my mail accounts. This occurs every so often. I have tried what Mail Help suggests, however, it is not successful. I have tried taking all accounts online and I have changed the port numbers in advanced settings. What else should I try?
On another note, my Safari has problems. Whenever I want to download something (including the new Flash player or Google Chrome), Safari will begin the download and then will crash. What can I do to resolve these problems? Thanks!

Try these steps and see if they help.
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.
If that doesn't help, close all aps and then try settings, contacts and mail again.
To close all apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Email and response disappear

I receive an email on my iPhone 4s from my .me.com account and read it one time. Then I respond and it and the response disappear from my phone, icloud, my computer and everywhere. I thought Imap was able to allow the mail to be left on the server.

HT5219 What are the external monitor requirements that can support having two windows email and safari open side by side?

I have a 27" iMac at home that supports this but would like to see if I can enable my Macbook air to do the same thing. I want to find out if this capability can be supported with my Macbook air and if so what are the monitor requirements.

Usually two causes of that, the first being the windows dpi scaling (most common cause) and the second being your graphics card driver needs to be updated.
Try playing with the windows dpi settings
Right click on your Desktop and select Screen Resolution
Then in the screen that comes up, click on Make Text or Other Items Larger or Smaller
Then move the slider under Change the Size of All Items to Smaller and restart windows 8
Also, you can try clicking on Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays, then click on Custom sizing options and drag on the rulers to set 149% and see if that is any better.

Email and safari on ipod touch

I can't open both, I need to know why i just bought it yesterday
thanks

You can restrict those apps in the restriction settings in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you will still be able to get your mail and buy apps. The icons will not be visible after you have set the restrictions. But don't forget the code, you'll have to do a factory reset of your device if you don't remember it anymore and you want to change the settings.

Email and websites unreadable -- show in xhtml code

Some websites and emails I receive are coded and unreadable. The appear in what I guess is xhtml or html code. In the email I can copy all the code (text) and past it into a new email and change the fonts to read it.
I get email like this everyday and I don't have time to deal with it. I have updaqted everything I can think of and checked all of the preference settings for both my mac email and Safari.
I don't have another browser installed
any ideas?
I am using a fairly new G5 -- OSX 10.4.5

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

Camera and Safari gone !!!!!! HELP !!!!!!!!!

I got a IPhone 3GS 16 gig with ISO 4.02 installed the other day. Yesterday while making a call my camera and safari disappeared. I looked in restrictions under general and they are greyed out. I tried to turn them on and they are still greyed out. I did a complete restore and no luck. They both worked fine and I have had no problems at all with them. I use my camera daily for work and safari daily for work and now they are gone SOMEONE HELP !

If the options under restrictions are grayed out, this means restrictions is not enabled.
If you have restrictions enabled and you are unable to turn restrictions off for a selected app, this is different.
If you don't have restrictions enabled, on your iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Home Screen Layout.

I am about to upgrade my eMac to the latest iMac. What can I do to transfer PPC software so the iMac can use my data such as email contacts, safari bookmarks, etc.?

I am about to upgrade from my eMac to the latest iMac. The eMac has given up the ghost at 10 years of age.
I have a full backup of my eMac so could use old email and safari contact/bookmarks,etc.
What is simplest way to do this?
Will the iMac distinguish between old PPC software and new Intel if I try to do a migration from old to new?
Can I use a flash drive to copy and paste required items from old to new?
All advice gratefully received.

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
1. Intel In Macs
2. Apple Guide to Universal Applications
3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
5. MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
      or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
       registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
       desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
      Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
      wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
