Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My PC will not open Icloud 3.1 since upgrade today

My PC will not open ICloud since it upgraded this morning.

Did you sign into your iCloud account on your 5s and enable photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos? If so, you should be able to access them in your my photo stream album inside the Photos app on your phone. Restoring the backup of your 4s to your 5s would also transfer photos that were in the camera roll, along with text messages, app data, settings, purchased apps and other media, etc.
Getting photo stream to work on a PC can sometimes be problematic. There is a long discussion on this here with various solutions offered: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5356710?start=180&tstart=0. Perhaps you will find one that will work for you. In the meantime, if you can get them on your Phone, you can then save them to your camera roll and import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Mac will not open iCloud "Documents" - No Errors

Hello,
Over the past few days, I have noticed that my iCloud documents will not open on my Mac.
I am able to edit them on my iOS devices. (via Numbers, Pages, Keynote for example)
I am able to Save new documents to my "iCloud"
I am NOT able to open the new documents from my iCloud
I am able to edit the new documents on my iOS devices
I am able to save new documents to my local machine
I am able to open the new documents from my locla machine
I have not made any preference changes to the system. The only way I am eventually able to OPEN iCloud documents, is by completely restarting the system. Then it works, at least for the first few times I have tried.
Any thoughts as to how to root cause?
j

I am not sure why this works, but it worked for me.
The behavior I am experiencing happens when I open Numbers for the first time, I am prompted with the open dialog box. If I attempt to open a file from my icloud in that dialog, I am unable to open any document, i.e. this is the behavior I am experiencing.
I opened a file from my local machine
Left the file open from my local machine
I then used File- > Open and chose a a file from iCloud
The iCloud document opened successfully.

Pages on my Mac will not open iCloud documents.

I am suddenly unable to open any of my saved documents on iCloud from Pages on my Mac. I can download them via the web app, and I can open them on my iphone. However, when I select the file in Pages on my Mac, then click open. Nothing happens.

Hey swpinsent,
There's an article that can help you troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing with Pages.
Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
Below is the section for a software issue that occurs in one application only:
For example, one application does not open or unexpectedly quits. Mac OS X v10.4 and later can help with applications that unexpectedly quit by offering to open the application with default settings. If this doesn't help, skip to "Drag the application to the Trash and reinstall it if the issue persists..." below.
Make sure you are using the latest version of the software. Check with the manufacturer if the product is published by a third party.
If the issue only occurs while using a specific document, try creating a new document or replacing your document with a backup. Your document may be damaged. If possible, try testing with either a new file or a known-good file.
Drag the application to the Trash and reinstall it if the issue persists. Some Apple applications that may have been included with your computer can be reinstalled by using the Install, Restore, or iLife disc that came with the computer. See these links for more information:
Mac OS X v10.6 Help: Reinstalling applications that came with your computer
Mac OS X v10.5.5 and later: Installing optional and bundled software
Custom installs in Mac OS X v10.4
Hope that helps,
David

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.

~/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.

Imbedded images will not open in mail

Very frustrating

Howdy patty1969,
If iCloud mail is not opening or even recognizing your account, please check your settings to insure they are correct.

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

Safari and Mail will not open after software update

After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I am having issues with Mail after downloading and installing Lion. Snow Leopard prior. There was a message that there was some sort of corruption in Mail and that I should close Mail and re-open Mail. I did, but Mail will not open at all.

Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open. Help please.

You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

Mail App will not open, OR quit.

My Mail app will not open, and now when I need to update my mac, it won't because it says the mail app "cancelled restart". Mail app will not open nor close. When I click on "Mail" at the top bar, the "quit" option is in light grey (not clickable). HELP Mail is still accessable on my phone. Is there a way to delte the app all together (with out having to take it in) and re download.

IME, it has always been a flaky app- Mac up to date or not. I've force quit many times. It's an immediate fix but it would be nice if the app worked consistently. Currently, it won't open (which seems new) or close. Of course I will try force quit (easy solution; always has been) but this seems ridiculous. Early 2011 MBP all up to date.
