IMac G5 10.5.8 Safari and Mail will not run...

I have had an issue with Safari and Mail running ever since I updated to 10.5.8, both will start up and even start loading a page or email but once it gets started it unexpectdly quits.  I have run permissions repair and tried a disk repair but it quits during that process too.  I deleted all of my caches the safari plist and I am out of ideas?  Any suggestions?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • Safari and Mail will not open.

    Just opened Pwer Mac G4 with 10.4.11 but Safari and Mail will not open. Have all software updates. Firefox open and browses. What could be wrong?

    Hi-
    Try booting in Safe mode and see if the applications work there.
    Hold Shift while starting to boot to Safe mode.
    If things work, reboot normally and see if the issue is resolved.
    If not, download and install the 10.4.11 Combo Update and install (again is not a problem).
    This should correct any issues due to absent files.

  • 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.

  • Safari and Mail will not open will not open

    This is occurring on our iMac from 2006. It is running Snow Leopard.
    I am posting this using Firefox so I can't cut and paste the crash reports.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

  • Safari and mail does not work

    Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

    Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

  • Safari and Mail will open but Firefox will

    Just opened Power Mac G4 with 10.4.11 but Safari nd Mail will not open. Firefox will open and browse. What could be the problem?

    Hi,
    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's enough disk space, might be a good idea to check the disk in case it needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities)  Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions at this link.

  • My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I clickclick on them?

    My ipad safari and mail are not working.  Why are they blank when I

    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or 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 and Safari apps to close them, 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.

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
    Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
    Any help is very appreciated.

    Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.

  • After an upgrade from Power mac G5 to iMac and PS will not run... Error - 150:30.  Seems to be a Licensing issue.  Any ideas? Works fine on the old Powermac...

    Delighted with the new iMac but I have had an old version of CS4 for years now and it will not run on the new machine.  I have tried Adobe customer care chat but it seems that nobody is available right now.  Can anyone help?

    I cannot locate the Flexnet folder by the way.... and the License recovery tool tells me that ....
    You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    Where do I go from here please?

  • 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.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.
