It does the same thing to my App Store :/ Have you solved your reason yet?

Apple mail will not open any windows for me.

I have a mid 2009 mac book pro. I upgraded to Mavericks and now my apple mail will not display any screens (windows). When I open it, it will bounce once in the dock then show the nav bar at the top, however most everything like send new mail is grey. I have tried loading upgrades but they won't load to my HD for some reason or another and am at a loss.

Try holding down the shift key when opening Mail.

HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works. The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone. Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

One app will not open any suggestions

One app would not open so I tried everything and finally took iPad back to factory settings. Now the app I had trouble with opens ok but another one wont open now. Any suggestions?

Try this:
1. Close all inactive apps. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Encore CS5 project file will not open - any suggestions?

I have a recently created (and backed-up) project that I've been able to reopen and modify for my client a few times over the past couple of months but now refuses to open (even the backup copy). I get the following error upon opening the project:
"Cannot open project; The folder for this project cannot be found."
Nothing has moved from it's original location - everything still in the same folder as where I created it and have been working on it.
Does anybody know a workaround/solution for fixing this?
Many thanks - I really don't want to have to start all over on this project - nor will I trust Encore ever again with an important client project if this is typical behavior!!

Just opened the old project I was going to work on a bit. Two things relevant here:
First, I had one of the issues I raised above. Source assets were no longer available, and Encore flags this and gives me a chance to locate them - just as we would like. I expected this, and can proceed without them - except I discovered that in two instances, the source file was transcoded before import, and Encore does not create a new version of this.
Second, I can create the error you got (project can't be opened; folder not found) by copying the whole directory (containing the .ncor file and folders), then changing the name of the ncor file without changing the encore project folder (that is at the same level as the project file). So if the project file is named "sample.ncor" encore has created a folder called "sample" (and inside the folder is "cache" and "sources" etc). Renaming sample.ncor to sample1.ncor with a project folder with it still named sample results in the error. Chaning that folder name to sample1 results in no error.
I'm not saying this is the only way this error occurs, but look at your .ncor file - what is the name? What is the name of the project folder?

For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any choice. Any ideas?

You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Mail will not open message viewer or drafts

Hello. I work on a 27" IMac 2.66 GHz 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running Mavericks 10.9.5. Since installing the latest update mac mail has been running VERY slowly, even lagging substantially as I type. Then in the last couple of days it has seemingly launched but no windows, no message viewer are visible. I can quit it or force quit or restart the computer but it still will not open any windows. I tried shutting off iCloud mail sharing yesterday and lo and behold it worked again. But today although iCloud mail remains shut off it will not open. I have opened the console and here are the recent messages:
(it seems to suggest I am out of cpu space? of a 1TB SATA disk I have 387.21 GB free of 999.35
Your assistance in fixing this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Back up all data before proceeding.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

IPad is tethered to iPhone. Internet and mail will not open

My iPad is successfully tethered to my iPhone. I have been reading mail and surfing the internet on the tethered iPad for weeks. Nothing has changed about my Verizon coverage. Suddenly the Internet and mail will not open on the iPad.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad's WiFi.

after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have same issue still

I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

Good day!
Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
As you should see your version is not up to the task.
You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.
