I can't log out or shut down my iMac as it says the mail is not working, I can't log out or shut down my iMac as it says the mail is not working

I can't log out or shut down my mac as the mail isn't working. I can't open the mail and when I try to shut down so that I can open the computer again, it says I cannot log out as the application mail cancelled the logout.

This worked for me too, by the way, for anyone wondering if it does.

  • I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

    Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support.  I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday.  So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen.  You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address?  Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words.  Lemurs and cats are profane now, what?  This is why I hate computers.
    Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation.  I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use.  The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart.  What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again?  Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

  • Mail locked up and now it will not close or allow me to reboot or shut down. Any ideas? Thanks

    My mail has locked up and I can't reboot or shut down the computer. Also in mail the left click does not work; it is just stuck. Any ideas? Thanks

    BTW - there is also the Force Quit option in the Apple menu dropdown. Wasn't sure if you could select menu bar options, so gave you the keystroke shortcut.

  • Drop down menus disappear in a blink of an eye. If I open more than 10 tabs I can't get to them, the arrow takes me back to the first 10. Only in FF, IE works fine. Tried safe mode and no change. It was fine one day and then not the next?

    drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???

    Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

  • My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business.

    My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by my hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business. The forms confirm delivery, but the mails are not recieved. No spam filters enabled.
    Meanwhile, I was able to narrow the problem down: PHP seems not to accept a re-directed mail address as sender of the mail in some cases. So, it has nothing to do with the mail form itself.

    Hi Ingo,
    Please refer to this document, Troubleshooting Muse Form Widgets Used on Third-Party Servers
    Last section, "I've uploaded my new Muse form, and tried submitting it in the browser, but I never receive an email with the form data. What's wrong?"

  • I worked for a company that closed down and inherited an ipad 2 linked to Vodafone uk as the carrier but no account details. So I factory reset, downloaded the ios7and added EE sim and Ipad does not work. what can I do? Voda/EE/Apple say NO SOLUTION?

    I inherited an Ipad 2 from a company that I had worked for in the UK but had closed down.
    It was an IPAD2 locked to the Vodafone UK network by a Vodafone SIM Card.
    No account details were or are available for the original account.
    So I removed the Vodafone SIM Card and then factory reset wirelessly using my wireless at home.
    I updated the system to IOS 7.0.2.
    I was then sold under a contract from EE another UK carrier a SIM card for the Ipad and when inserted the Ipad says Sim not applicable.
    I checked with Vodafone and EE shop and they said they cant unlock it, I checked with Apple who said the same!
    So I have an IPad I can use wirelessly at home, a sim card from EE which is an u
    locked Vodafone carrier mode and all 3 multinational companies say they cannot unlock it from Vodafone to enable me to use the EE sim.
    What can I do to sort this mess out? Please help!
    Thank You

    Steve, have you tried just going through the unlock form here?
    http://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
    That's what the moderator in several older threads in Vodaphone's forum said was all that is necessary. Carriers often won't unlock for anyone but the original account holder, so if you don't have the details of the company's account, that might be the barrier in which case there will not be any way to get the iPad officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

    my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down. I am not able to get anything to play either through the standard ipod controls or the multitasking control panel. I'm sure there will be an update soon to correct this, i just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.
    wen i open ipod in my iphone ,, it gets stuck ,, and get backs to the menu ,,, and doesnot play anything ,, not video nor song

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • Junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection or 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam.

    junk mail filter in yosemite doesn't work. from the flags, i can't find the 'mark as junk' selection. Formerly clicking on the email address in question would allow one to 'remove from previous recipients' which would help to filter out spam. I've adjusted all the settings under mail preferences, but that is not helping.

    Hello Diane162,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to be able to filter some of the junk mail that you are receiving in Mail. The attached article has a lot of great information on junk mail filtering, including how to mark as junk and adjust the junk filter.

    I cannot get to the mail menu bar.  When I try to open mail, I get "you can't use this version of mail with this version of Mac OS X.  But the help suggestions don't work either.  I am trying to download an update combo v1.1 to see if that helps. Thanks

  • HT1414 Anybody have an ipad that will not power on, for no reason? My ipad always worked fine and then one day it shut down because the battery was low so I plugged it in and it will not power on. Tryed the hard reset option still no power on :(

    You can try recovery mode to see if you can revive the iPad.

    Have you left the iPad charging for a couple of hours or so to be sure?

  • Verizon, babe, get the Galaxy Note and we can work it out!

    Dear Verizon;
    Hello. It's been a long time since we've spoken, and I feel that, now, more than ever, it's vital that we reconnect because somewhere along the line, we got our lines crossed and we fell out of touch and we stopped understanding each other and no longer listened to each other and - well, we know we both deserve better. We know we can treat each other with the respect and love that we both so truly deserve. I believe it's not too late. There was something good here once, something magical and wonderful, and I believe we can recapture that. I don't want to throw away what we have, for we have something special, so pure, so beautiful, that no one else can match, and I don't think you want to lose me either.
    I mean, you know why you're important to me. For starters, you're reliable. You're there for me when everyone else is being let down. We always hear each other loud and clear. I never had to worry that if I needed you, that you'd leave me stranded. Even if I was all the way out in the country, you never abandoned me. That's got to count for something, right?
    You're a classy one too. I mean, you're expensive, but you've earned it. I'm the man in the relationship and while I know you don't go for those antiquated roles of who brings what to the table, I think you take a restrained pleasure in knowing that I bring home the bacon and enjoy spending a good chunk of it on you, because I always felt you were worth it. And you are! None of the others out there can hold a candle to you!
    And of course, I can't forget the undeniable sex appeal of the allure of your goodies. Whoaaaa mama! You may not have drop-dead gorgeous pieces, but even after all these years,what you've got had always managed to make me sweat...until recently, and that's where things started to go south between us.
    There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about, something that's really important that you and I need to discuss.I know we've only been together a few short years, but that day in May of 2007 will always stay with me. I'd been walking by where I'd seen you hanging out in my town a few times, but I never seemed able to work up the courage, until when I found out I was moving away, and I knew I had to take you with me. And that was one of the best days of my life. My family tried to convince me otherwise. They said they'd set me up with another, that they'd take care of EVERYTHING and I would never have to worry, but I knew better. Why settle for jello, when you could have creme brulee? And you are the creme brulee to me, baby, but you've been holding out on me and we can't continue like this if you're going to keep things from me. 
    I need the Galaxy Note. I know, I know. It's an awkward size and you're worried it's going to look too big on you, but trust me, baby! Seriously. I let the iPhone thing slide for a long time and realized that, when you finally got it, I didn't need it anymore, because I loved YOU. But now, my life is going in a direction where I really need your help. The Galaxy Note is really turning me on, in a serious way. And your silence...your history in this area has me worried. Baby, please. I really need this. I know it sounds like a big committment, but I think we're ready for it. I just need you to trust me on this. 
    There's talk, you know, that someone else is gonna get the Galaxy Note. That big blue dame who's been catching you up. You turned up your nose at the iPhone and look what happened. This Galaxy Note thing is gonna be big...I can just feel it! Please, you don't understand, don't let me down again.
    I hate to say it, but if you're not with me on this one, then I think you're against me. I can't take another heartbreak. I know I'm talking about new beginnings, and you doing this for me will be the first step, but if you can't work with me just this once, then I think it's time we went our separate ways. 
    Say you're with me on this one. Say you'll start wearing that super-sexy Galaxy Note, for me, just for me, please babe? Please? I love you. I think we can still make this work.
    Love,
    Northam

    galaxy note is what I'd like to see too. a 5 inch phone with the new ics would be awesome.
    Unless they finally make a tablet with a dedicated phone in it that I could use bluetooth with.
    Or the Padfone, but I can't find out the specs of that one yet, so maybe.
    Well the  Galaxy Note has been out for a while and Verizon shouldn't let  ATT get that little genius of a phone. I'd pass on the Nexus for the Note next month when I will be getting something new from Big Red.
     Hopefully the Antena Will be fixed on the Nexus and Not A **bleep** patch that makes the bars register full strength instead of fixing the Antenas in the Nexus.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • I have a MBP from late 2009.  It works fine in all regards except recently, when an icon is grabbed by the built-in track pad, I can't drop the item and have to shut my computer down to resolve the issue.  How do I reinstall the driver for the trackpad?

    Ok, I thought the subject line was the extent of what I could type.  My trackpad has been working fine for over two years now.  But recently if I accidently (or intentionally) drag a picutre that is highlighted on any website, the cursur never lets go of the image and all "clicking" capabilities become useless.  It even manages to lock up the rest of the computer, such that trying to restart manually doesn't work.  I litterally have to hold the power button till the MBP turns off and reboot.  I have looked for a way to unistall and reinstall the driving, but I'm either redirected to a non-Apple website or else I'm directed to the new "Retina" MBP section of the Apple store.  I don't have any other mouse that is connected to this computer, so there shouldn't be any weird interference between mutiple mice. 
    Is there an official applie support section where I can either download the proper driver to simply resinstall the orignal 2009-2010 MBP trackpad driver, or a way for the "Software Update" under the Apple logo in the top file bar to acknowledge this problem an automatically patch it?  I'd rather not have to go into an Apple store just to get this quirk (which doesn't happen 100% of the time anyways) figured out.  I simply don't want it to occur while I'm in the middle of a larger project and then get stuck being unable to save a document and I have to forcefully restart my entire computer (nuisance aside).
    Thank you,
    Hamilton

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
