Help! Problem with opening Mail

I've been having a hugely annoying problem with mail and preview, and I nor any of the wizards at my local mac store can't solve it to save their lives. So, I've come here, to the experts.
First of all, neither program will open or provide any errors with any attempt to open it. All that happens is that the icon(s) will bounce in the dock for about three seconds and that's it. So, I checked the crash log in my crashreporter, only to find two crash logs there, one for preview and one for mail. Each returns the same error message:
(this one's for mail; preview is exact with the expected modifications)
Command: Mail
Path: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Parent: WindowServer [94]
Version: 2.1 (752)
PID: 733
Thread: Unknown
Link (dyld) error:
Symbol not found: _kCGPDFContextTitle
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/PDFKit.framew ork/Versions/A/PDFKit
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa
I've looked online to see if anyone else has reported a similar problem, but I haven't found any indication that someone has. I've also looked for the symbol in superuser mode with no avail. One thing though: _kCGPDFContextTitle are associated with opening pdfs, and I think it failed after I reinstalled adobe acrobat prof. 8. I've trashed acrobat, but the problem presists.
I suspect the problem is with coca, but is there any way to fix it without archiving and installing? Suggestions and good wishes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

I have a new Ipad2 tonight I could not open mail ,it just showed a blank page.. Followed on line instructions to press and home and sleep buttons together for 15 seconds to reboot.. it has been 30 mins and is still rotating. cannot shut off or get home . please help!!!

Did you hold the buttons down together until the Apple logo appeared on the screen? You have to wait until the Apple logo appears, it might take a little longer than 15 seconds.

Problem with opening mail after nstalling OS 10.6.6

On the application directory I only see "mail.app (original)". Clicking here will give the same error message. On spotlight I don't see any other mail.app. Thanks
This is the error message I get
Hi, anybody can help??
Problem started immediately after upgrading to 10.6.6
Tried to open mail with different user but problem persist.
Going into the application folder and opening mail from there did not help.
I get this message when trying to open mail.
You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
You tried to open Mail version 4.3 (1081/1082) in:
/Applications/Mail (original).app
It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
Thanks

For some reason I can't change names on the application folder.
Hmm, you're right... wonder when that changed. It's probably a good idea to prevent you from renaming apps, except that your Mail app has the wrong name.
Try this... open the Terminal (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and paste in the following command:
sudo mv /Applications/"Mail (original).app" /Applications/Mail.app
Then press return. You will be prompted for your password, and when you type it nothing will show up. Press return again after typing it.
If that doesn't work, you can use [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> to reinstall the original Mail application from your Mac OS X install disk.
Either way, after getting some version of Mail with a correct name installed, run the combo updater again to bring that copy of Mail up to the current version.

Help-problem with Yahoo mails in iPhone 4S

Hi
I just upgraded from 3s to 4s. Everything is working except Mails. I have the alarm system at home and have it set up to send emails including photos to my Yahoo account whenever it detects motion. It sends a lot of emails per day including different pictures from different cameras. On my iPhone 4s, when it read these emails, it constantly show the same picture from first mail. All other emails, although the pictures should be different, but the same picture is showing. Power off and on the phone does not solve the issue.
I don't have this issue on iPhone 3s and iPad.
Thanks

I have many problems with my mail since I moved to mavericks. The filter is very sensitive, read mail appears as unread, I can't drag mail to the folders and more. I can't update the mail program as directed on this page, update says my system is updated

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

Hi,
I am having problems with yahoo mail. I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open. Having eventually got in, it fails to delete.
So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?
Best regards,
dfenceman

Hi,
This problem seems intermittent. It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
Can the mods help with this ?
Best regards,
dfenceman

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chris

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

Problem with the "mail me" button

Since I installed both Iweb 09 and Snow Leopard, there is a problem with the "mail me" buttons on my websites. Nothing happens when i click on it even if i see my web adress when my cursor is on the button.
Do somebody had the same problem and do you know how to avoid it.
Thanks a lot

I checked your site and found that the mail me button was not overlapping or touching any other object and positioned entirely in the footer of the page. All looks good and it works for me. You might try moving the button, logo and counter to the bottom of the page content section, publish and see if that makes a difference for those computers that can't.
Try the following on your Macbook, open Safari, clear the cache (CommandOptionE), load your site and try again. If that makes it work for your MB tell your friends to clear their caches and try again. Might be something as simple as that.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in 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. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
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 by pressing the key combination 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've a problem with my mail app

I have a problem with my mail app, after upgrading mavericks.
My mail app was worked well, before I upgrade.
Now, my mail app is working only with icloud account.
I can use my gmail account with safari or other web browsers, but not in the mail app.
That was happening both of my macbook pro, and macbook air, but not on my iPad and iPhone.
I tried deleting account and re added it, but that doesn't solve the problem.
what should i do..??

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
