IMail never quit unless "Force Closed" during shutdown

Hi!
I am currently using Mac OS X 10.8.3
My IMail never quit unless I Force Close It.
I have Two google accounts, one icloud account and a yahoo account linked with it.
I have tried to change the "Check for new mail" to mannual, but it didn't worked out for me.
I have also seen other threads related to this, but none of them really helped me out.
Thank you in advanced!

Thanks for the feedback and star. Now, Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire), and make a bootable backup/clone and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall anything. See these for details:

Good computing.

  • I recently updated to Mac OS 10.6.5 so Firefox will not quit (unless forced to quit), and I get the following error message. "The application Firefox.app can't be opened -600." Same problem with Safari, Google Earth, I-Tunes, and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    I have to actually force quit these applications for this to work. How do I fix this. I also upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • HT1277 I cannot delete certain messages from mail.  The message made 5 copies of the same message and now mail won't quit unless forced

    Mark this discussion as a Question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers.

    Next thing to try.  Quit Mail, go to the Mail folder in your home Library (your Library may not be visible by default, but it's there; let us know if you have trouble finding it), and search in that folder for a file called Envelope Index. Delete that file and restart Mail; it will be forced to create a new one from scratch, which may clear up the problem.

  • Photo app keeps force closing

    The stock photo app keeps force closing during edit and sometimes regularly. Is this a problem everyone is experiencing?

    - That is not a common problem that users post in this forum.
    - Try 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 defaults/new iPod

  • My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit.  I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted.  I closed the lid and now the screen is blank.  Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

    No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.
    Did a permissions repair help from the install DVD?

  • Mail never quits completely, I have to force quit

    Mac Mail never quits completely.  I always have to force quit. What's up?  I have it running, I hit CMD+Q and it closes, but you can see it running in the dock.  I usually forget that it's running until the fan on my MBA starts running.  Then I know MAIL is running.  Why can't Mail quit when I tell it to?  I'm running the latest version of Lion as of 5-7-2012.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • ICal 5 ... I quit and force quit and it will not stay closed!

    I upgraded to the new OSX Lion ... since that time, iCal will not stay closed.  I quit and force quit, but a couple seconds later, it opens again and appears on my dock.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

  • What happen during shutdown database

    Dear All,
    i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
    What happens during shutdown oracle database :
    and the suggested answer :
    1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
    2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
    3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
    please suggest the right answer .
    Regards
    Anwar

    First of all shutdown has 4 options
    1.Normal
    2.Immediate
    3.Transactional
    4.Abort
    Default is normal
    Normal: No new connections are allowed. Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.
         Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated. Until and unless all users disconnect, database wont be closed.
    Transactional: No client can start a new transaction. Clients get disconnected once their transactions are completed.
         Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Immediate: Current running SQL are not completed. Oracle does not wait for users to disconnect.
         All active transactions are rolled back.Database and redo buffers are written into disk.
         Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Abort: All users are disconnected.Database and redo buffers are NOT written into disk.
    All background processes are killed instantly and instance is abruptly terminated.

  • Itunes will not quit or force quit .  light simply stays on?  any suggestions?

    itunes will not quit or force quit .  light simply stays on?  any suggestions?

    I have a 13 inch MBP. I had to log out. It would not let me restart or shut down unless iTunes was closed. And, iTunes was not responding to the FORCE QUIT option. It would quit, then reappear. Hope this helps.

  • Suggestion: how to unfreeze during shutdown/logout

    Hi all,
    From time to time, my iMac freezes during shutdown/logout. I cant really find out the actual cause. May be it was due to the .Mac mirroring, or some external USB devices fail to shutdown properly, whatever the reason is. My question is other than pressing the magic button to shut down, what else can I do to unfreeze it? Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance,
    Derek.

    I also experience hangups during shutdown. Very often I might add, and this is really annoying. I've reinstalled my Mac Pro from scratch twice in the last month, thinking it was an error on my part. Last night, as I shut down (using CTRL-Option-Command-Eject), this is the log I got (I have no halt line, which is strange):

    I understand why you can't recover from a hangup when the shutdown process started, as services started to close, but there must be a way to "jolt" the system to force quit hanged or rogue/zombie processes in order to properly shutdown the system. Each time I push the power button to close down the computer, I fear I may corrupt something in the OS or the system disk.
    Any thoughts?

  • Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! STILL PERSISTS!

    My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
    When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black.
    I searched the forums and tried the suggested fixes: trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot.
    Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
    HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    this worked for a couple of cycles then the problem retuned/
    Hey, Mac geniuses and wizards - what is going wrong with my macboo

    Have you ever waited and let it do it's thing? I was ready to force mine to quit the other day after waiting 2-3 minutes, and all of sudden, it shut down. I restarted it and then shut it down again. This time it was normal.
    Try this yet before doing an Archive and Install.
    1. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.
    2. Use a utility like Onyx to clean your system cache out, including your kernel cache. The computer will restart slow right after that, but I keep rebooting the computer about 3 times in a row, and I'm back up to speed.

  • Strange icon during shutdown...

    Does anyone else have a strange icon flash on the display for a fraction of a second during shutdown? I running 10.5.1 on my 15" MBP 2.16 Core Duo and have noticed a real weird icon that only shows up occasionally during shutdown. It usually blinks on and off too fast to really see what it is, but I think it is sort of like the symbol on the command key and has a red X across it. I don't have any issues with the MBP with the exception of some files that Disk Utility is having trouble with when I repair permissions which seems to take a long time. It gets to a point where it says time remaining is less than a minute, but keeps going and going for another 3-5 minutes after displaying this:
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”

    Permissions repair complete
    Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts?

    Thanks for the tip.
    I did as you suggested and the permissions issue is fully resolved. Never had an issue using the Software Update pane, but I'll file the in my overloaded brain for another time.
    I haven't seen the strange icon during shutdown again, but I did identify it as the icon for a piece of software called KeyCue. It shows keyboard shortcuts for the active application by holding down the Command key for about 2 seconds.
    Thanks again!

  • IMac hangs up during shutdown

    My iMacs (2006 + late 2007) occasionally lockup during shutdown. After the desktop icons are gone but the desktop photo remains with the spinning pinwheel. Eventually I force a shutdown by holding down the power button. On restart, everything is back to normal. Sometimes I have waited for 2 hours and the machine has not shut down - only gone to sleep.

    Same problem here, but it hangs all the time, not only 10-20% of the shutdown. I let it there for about 2 hours, nothing changed.
    I have no idea if this is time machine related, but if it is, it's a bug. Apple can't wan't me to check the sys prefs every time i shut down my iMac...
    By the way it's a two week old iMac which replaced my older one. I moved all the data by reinstalling leopard on the new iMac and telling the installer to rebuilt the system from the time machine data of my old iMac... Maybe something went wrong there.

  • System freeze during shutdown

    I have noticed a couple of times that during shutdown immediately when plymouth kicks in the system just freezes. It is not leaving behind any logs. And it does not occur often. I use kde 4.4 rc2 from kde-mod. But this occurs after kdm quits and plymouth kicks in.
    Anyone else facing the same issue? Any ideal how I can debug this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    To follow on from the advice re ensuring the driver is the latest version before attempting any other fix, if the problem continues, it is by far better to have the system shutdown gracefully by pulling the USB connection than to shutdown by removing power! At worst, disconnecting the USB cable would do no more than cause problems to the system's printer setup files or print queues, but disconnecting the power COULD cause significant damage to directory and file structure on the hard drive, and actually result in the system being unable to boot.
