Try opening Mail from the Applications folder. Your Dock icon may be damaged.

Why won't mail open when click on icon?

why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

Howdy lpedvm23,
If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

HT1338 Why every time I get an Apple software update for my MacBook Pro click on it but at never opens up it always error

Why when I get a software update for my MacBook Pro i click on it for some reason it never connects to the server I can never get my software update is anyone else having this problem? if so what do I do? i have the 2007 macbook pro Mountain lion 10.8.2

Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk. If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption.
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility. However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

Why won't my MacBook install new software updates?

When I click on Software Update it says "Install 11 items." Among them are iTunes 10.6.3, Safari, Garage Band Update, iPhoto Update and so on.
When I click "Install 11 Items" it doesn't install anything. It says I must restart my computer to finish installation. So, I restart. Afterwards it asks for my password, I figure for installations.
But nothing is changed, and when I click updates I get the same 11 program updates. This has happened at least seven times in the past seven tries.
Plus, my battery is stuck. It won't come out of the computer. Though the abve issue is most troubling.
Thanks.

Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) is a purchased product, you can get it from the Mac app store. If your MacBook can support it though you may want to wait and purchase Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) which will become available sometime later this month. It will also be a purchase, but it is not necessary to get Lion first, and it is going to be $20 rather than the $30 for Lion. You can find out if your MacBook will run it on this page.
That security update can be found here. The Java update is available here. You can search for other updates on this page.
I don't know why the installer is not performing as it should. It is highly unlikely that the battery has anything to do with your installation issues.
Best of luck.

HT1338 Why will my mac not do a software update

Why will my mac not do a software update

Is there any error message provided that indicated why the update fails?
E.g. "An unexpected error occured" Anythng like that?
These messages provide guidance for people offering assistance so that it is targetted and appropriate.
Someone might suggest pulling a plist like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist but if the issue is insufficient space on the Macintosh HD or an error connecting to the Update Server or a security certificate error the removal of the plist would be pointless.

Why won't mail open pps in keynote '09??

Since I installed SL can anyone tell me why, whenever I open a powerpoint presentation in mail instead of opening keynote '09 it opens keynote test drive in version '08 (although I have already purchased '08 and '09 ) and have have both installed on my system. I don't understand why it won't use '09 to open pps docs. If anyone knows of a solution or workaround I would be most grateful.

Thanks for that.
I tried deleting the plist, then 'choosing to open with iwork '09 and change all but still it jumps back to the default '08.
Is there any other way I can change the default to '09?

Why won't Mail open with windows placed where I left them?

I use Mail all day (and night).
I have 3 viewer windows open - one Inbox, one Sent, and one misc set to either Trash, Junk, or drafts.
I place them as nested windows so that I can always see them all and click on the visible top left corner to choose the one I want to work with. Works fine for me.
When I quit Mail and then reopen it either after a restart or after transporting my laptop to a new location, I get all 3 viewer windows to open but never in the same place they were when the application quit. I have to go about repositioning them every time I open Mail.
It's hard to say, but I even think that the viewer windows open in same relative place on the screen that I never "showed" them. But it's always the wrong location.
Is there any way to "teach" mail to open these 3 key viewer windows in the same place every time?
Steve

I did exactly as you described, locating the plist file and moving it from Library/Preferences to the desktop. I logged out, logged back in, and Mail started on the left side of my Dock and then promptly shot to the right. It is now to the left of a Google quick search box, an Applications Folder, a Documents folder, and a Downloads folder. I want the mail icon on the left side of my screen. How can I ensure that?

Why won't iPhone open PDF's after updating to IOS8.1?

There is nothing I regret more than updating my iPhone 4 to the new IOS. My phone wasn't updating apps, so I did the iOS update. Now many things are not working, including not opening any PDF files when in Safarai. It keeps asking "open" and "open in" but then nothing is offered that would work, just a grey page. Need a solution or the Internet on my phone is practically useless! Does anyone know how to fix this?

What troubleshooting have you tried? It would help if you report this before someone responds so we are not wasting each other's time by repeating things you have already done. User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. You can also try force closing Safari and clearing cookies and web site data.

Why won't iPad open PDF's after updating to IOS8

After upgrading to IOS 8, my iPad Mini (MD541LL/A) will no longer open PDF's from a website using either Safari or Chrome.
This behavior was observed using 8.0.2 and is still there after upgrading to 8.1 (12B410).
A fix to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Do all PDF documents fail to open from any website, or is the issue with a specific website? For example, if you search for "ext:pdf" on google.com, then click on a link with "[PDF]" at the beginning of the link, do they all fail?
Does Safari say it is unable to download the file, or does something else happen?

Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

I have checked
Why won't Mail save stationery?
but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

Why won't files open or save in email

I have been trying to open some important files that were emailed and they won't open. I am getting the blue and white pop up asking if I want to open or save and it won't let me do either. It did this the other day and somehow I finally got it open after shutting down the computer. Tried that this time and it won't work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe. It did not work. There is also an online website I use to complete and upload PDF file documents and it won't work either. What has happened? How do I fix?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine
