IPad mail app quits on launch. Help? Any solutions?

Try quitting the Mail app like I describe and then reset your iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • IPad Mail app crashing upon launch

    Have tried restarting multiple times but Mail keeps crashing instantly upon launch.

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Mail app quits when opened after installing Mavericks. I reinstalled and still the same. I noticed the mail app icon has not changed to the new icon in Mavericks. Any suggestions?

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • Mail app doesn't launch

    my mail app doesn't launch
    using Lion

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Stop email checking when first entering iPad Mail app?

    Whenever I enter the iPad Mail app, it automatically downloads my messages even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual". Is there a way to disable this? I only want to fetch messages when I say so. For example, in Mac OS Mail, I check my email manually -- when I first launch the Mac OS Mail app, nothing happens until I click "Get Mail".
    I'd like to have a little more control with iPad Mail. Any ideas?

    even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual"
    There seems to be several places to set this ... did you set them all
    to manual.
    I did, and yes, I still have the problem you mention, the iPad seems
    to always keep open the connection which means that it shuts out
    my other devices from connection to email because of server resource
    contention.
    It is funny that the email should be designed this way. It ought to
    be fully manual because of the nature of the use of the device, and
    the nature of the intermittent wifi connections. There is no point to
    keep it open if one is moving around and the network connection keeps
    going in and out, or being lost.
    I like the fully manual idea, I click the mailbox I want to look at. It
    shows me the mail, highlights the new ones, and then I can view or
    not, and when I am done it all shuts down, freeing resouces on the
    server and being a good citizen, like all Apple devices ought to be.
    This is behaving like Outlook Express or something!

  • Ipad mail app not responding

    ipad mail app is not responding. The twirling circle just keeps going and nothing happens with the app, doesn't download any mail. WiFii is connected and working. I can go through the browser to gmail on the ipad and see messages but the mail app isn't working. Would like to reinstall it but it's not possible to delete it because it comes pre-installed on the ipad.

    You can force quit it.
    Double tap the home button. This will bring up a single row of app icons on the bottom of the screen. Find the mail one, hold down on it until it wiggles with a - sign in a red circle. Tap on that (doesn't delete, it quits it).
    Click the home button again to exit that mode and then reopen your app. See if that clears it up.
    What is your mail client? If it's yahoo, you may be experiencing one of their random outages.....they have been upgrading their service for months and when they're working on the part of the data base that holds your account it'll mess up until they stop messing with it.

  • Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

    I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

  • IPad Mail app won't auto rotate

    The iPad mail app does not auto rotate on my iPad.  All the other apps rotate fine.  The rotation isn't locked.  And yes, I am aware that if I reset or shut down the iPad, rotation will restore.  However, eventually, it always ends up locked.  This is a bug of some type in the operating system.  Does anyone know if Apple knows about this and intends to fix it? It is extremely annoying.

    I have seen other users have the same issue, but not as a recurring problem. In light of that, I don't think that Apple would consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. Perhaps, restoring your iPad from a backup, resetting all settings, or restoring to factory settings and starting all over again would help.
    But if you think that it is something that needs to be fixed.....

    Is this a common issue?
    Has this been solved?

  • Ios7 iPad Mail App Using 2.3 GB???

    My ios7 iPad mail app is using 2.3 GB despite deletion of all mail from all accounts. Why? How do I correct?

    Hi Rosesatt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations like this can be very frustrating and you have already done a great job with troubleshooting already. One further step that I would recommend would be forcing the Mail application to close and then open it fresh. Please use the attached article as a guide.

    After upgrading to OSX 10.9 Mail App quits when try to open my Mail messages. I have a MS Exchange account. I have removed account and installed it again. All messages where downloaded normally but when I just click on a mail the app quits :/
