Impossible to start mail (V 4.5) on Mac OSX (V 10.6.8) what do i have to do?

Impossible to start mail (V4.5) after sytem update  Mac OSX (V10.6.8).
What do i have to do?

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • Error when starting Flash Builder 4.7 in Mac OSX Maverick

    I'm getting this error when I start Flash Builder 4.7 on Mac OSX Maverick.

    I solved it. The trick was to press the Install button. After a few minutes Flash Builder opened.

  • TS1572 you can use this version of the application mail with this version of mac osx

    Cannot use this version" alert appears when opening application mail with this version of mac OS X, we seem to have lost our mail and now we get this message.

    Make sure the 4.5 only is in the /Applications folder alone and not inside any enclosing folder, then run the update again. /Applications is inside the main Macintosh HD folder, not in your Home Folder, if you even have one there. Move the other Mail to the Trash for now, but don't empty it yet.
    Link for the update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    If that doesn't work, move both Mails to the Trash (don't empty yet) and run both updates, the 10.6.8 Combo update (the link for that is in the Apple article) and then the Security update again.

  • "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OSX

    "You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1081). It can't be used on Mac OSX Version 10.6.4 ( Build 10F569)."
    I attempt to open Mil on my new MacBook Pro disk and I get this message I did a software update and still the same. Any suggestions. I have re-loaded the Mail app from the CD and this is still happening.

    Insert your Snow Leopard Installer Disc, open the Optional Installs folder and double-click on the Optional Install.mpkg file. You will find a list of applications you can reinstall including Mail. Reinstall Mail then run the 10.6.4 Combo Updater that you can download from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Apple Mail not fully working after Mac OSX 10.5.7 update

    Since I have updated to Mac SOX 10.5.7 I don't get all of my email. I have 5 separate email accounts with my internet service provider (Cox) that are all with the same email service but when I go to check my email I only receive email messages from 4 of the 5 email accounts. I have sent test emails to each account but I don't receive the test email on one of the accounts and that is the one I use the most. This started to happen after I downloaded the update. Very strange..... Anyone out there having this same problem?????? These are POP email accounts.

    Now this is weird. When I went into Apple Mail preferences and unchecked the SSL box in ADVANCED then all of my emails came through fine and even my test messages to that email account. Perhaps that is the issue. Do I need to use SSL and what is it????

  • How to start sql developer(1.1) on mac osx

    After download and unzip it, just double-click the sqldeveloper icon, doesn't it?
    But after i double-click it, there is an icon on the bottom for a while, very soon. then it disappears.
    Any help will be highly apprecaited!!!

    Hi
    I've got the same error starting SQL Developer 1.1.2 on mac os 10.4.9. In my case this was because I've had a blank in the path.
    I've initialy located my SQL Developer on a USB Stick with the name "no name" which was mounted on /Volumes/no name path to SQL Dev was /Volume/no name/oracle/sqldeveloper/......
    After changing the name of the stick to noname the path has changed to /Volume/noname/oracle/sqldeveloper/.....
    and then everything worked fine.
    An other hint, If you copy sqldeveloper.sh into sqldeveloper.command you may start the Developer with a double click.
    By the way, I'm using the multiplattform package of the SQL Developer and put it on a USB Stick. I'm now able to take one copy of SQL Developer and Configuration with me and start it on Mac OS and/or Windows.

    Sorry, but nobody here can help you nor can Apple.  The only way to disable Activation Lock on your devices is to use the password for the AppleID associated with that devices iCloud account.  There is no alternative - you need that password, or you need your friend to disable those devices in their online account.

  • Mac OSX 10.7 Not Even Starting to Download

    So i got my brother's macbook pro. So the macbook air i had was going to my sister. So i erased all data and tried to download Mac OSX 10.7 with recovery Disk. So i repair disk, everything (No problems were found). And i started download, and there is a Mac OSX 10.7 install screen, with the Macintosh HD icon, and under that with a download bar. And on top of the Mac. HD says Downloading Additional components. Your computer will restart automatically. I earlier did this exact same thing on my older sister's macbook air, and the download just started instantly. only took 30-60 min. But this macbook air, well its not even starting to download. it dosent even say its downloading or how long its gonna take. It has been 15-30 min since i started downloading. And it just stays the same. It would be great if i can get this problem solved ASAP. Since my sister has to use her computer.

  • Mail 5.3 on MAC OSX 10.7.5

    Mail version 5.3 on MAC OSX 10.7.5.
    How can one display the actual date in the Mail Inbox rather than "Yesterday" or "2 days ago"?
    Thank you!

    Thanks. I did know I could delete the folder. Was simply wondering if it served a purpose since it keeps adding copies of current emails yet never exceeds the total number. Didn't want to delete if it was going to cause a problem.

  • ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

    I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
    Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
    Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
    I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
    Is this something to worry about?

    Hi Joel,
    You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

  • How may I automatically stop and start Mail services at a set time please

    Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to automatically stop and start Mail services (or any other services) at a set time please in Leopard Server? Is there a script someone has created which might help?
    Cheers, David ( a realy newbie when it comes to administering OS X server)

    launchd works through a series of XML documents that define tasks to run, either at launch, on a time schedule, in response to network events, etc.
    So you'll need to create two .plists - one to start the mail server and one to stop it. They should be saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons. I'd suggest something like:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop.plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
    .com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>Label</key>
      <string>local.postfix.stop</string>
      <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
        <string>stop</string>
        <string>mail</string>
      </array>
      <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Hour</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>Minute</key>
        <integer>00</integer>
      </dict>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    and /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.start.plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
    .com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
      <key>Label</key>
      <string>local.postfix.start</string>
      <key>ProgramArguments</key>
      <array>
        <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
        <string>start</string>
        <string>mail</string>
      </array>
      <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
      <dict>
        <key>Hour</key>
        <integer>4</integer>
        <key>Minute</key>
        <integer>00</integer>
      </dict>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    You'll need to either use launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop (or start) to load the tasks, or reboot your server.
    I'm curious, though, as to why you want to do this. Mail is typically one of the services that people want to run 24/7 so they don't miss out on any emails (even though SMTP can tolerate this). Why do you want to shut yours down?

  • Mail server log says: master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services...

    Recently, after a year or more of relatively smooth service, my OS X Server 10.4.11 Mail services has been locking up daily.
    I was finally able to get some information from the log files (I am a noob to this) and saw the following right after my most recent reboot of the server:
    Oct 5 09:51:11 mm1 master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/Data/mail/var/imap
    I checked the server and that directory is indeed there on the partition named "DATA", so I am baffled as why the server does not thing the configuration directory exists?
    drwxr-xr-x 15 cyrusima mail 510 Oct 5 09:51 imap

    Thanks Alex for the feedback. You are helpful as always!
    It's good to know that the message I am getting from the mail server about the configuration files is only a temporary thing. Although I find it strange that the mail service doesn't know where its config files are since it is specified in the mail server setup.
    I looked at the log files you mentioned and do not see anything that looks like a specific problem with the mail services themselves.
    Recently, however, I have been having recurring problems where my mail server and my Web/Database server have both become unresponsive at nearly the same time even though they are on different class A networks to where I cannot access them via ARD, Server Admin and even SSH. That is usually when my mail server goes offline. I was afraid it was because of that configuration error I was seeing, but think now that the problem could be something else entirely (maybe some kind of network problem or denial of service hacking attack, no idea).
    Thanks again.

  • Problem with starting Mail

    After copying back a time machine backup Mail doesn't start. Every time I start Mail the program starts to import my mails and then it is stopping and shutting down. How can I solve the problem?

    This looks like a font issue. Take a look at the following article:
    Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
    Try this as well:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts, and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
    4. If this is a POP account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message.
    5. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
    As to what you see in Disk Utility, not sure what you mean, but it seems normal to me.
