IPhone apple mail stopped. blank screen ideas?

I use Apple Mail on my iPhone, collecting mail from other accounts.
I have a blocked screen - simply blank and I can't move anywhere.
I've tried removing what I believe was the offending account but that had no effect.
Apart from going back to factory settings has anyone any idea what I might do?

Went to cPanel and changed the password. Changed Apple mail password setting and all works fine.
So how / why can a valid working password suddenly become invalid and not working? Literally receiving and sending emails one minute and the next it stops working. mystery.

    You may have a bad screen or a loose connection in your phone.  Make an appointment to have an Apple Retail Store Genius look at your phone. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Or call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) or the number for your country found here:  http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html

  • Why is my Apple Mail's initial screen sometimes changed to half it's regular size?size

    why is my Apple Mail's initial screen sometimes changed to half it's regular size? I'm using an iMac PowerPC G4 with OS/X 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6 (936).

    It could be remembering where it was when you last quit the program.    The Green button in the upper left forces the window to the last adjusted size.

  • Apple Mail stops downloading emails at a certain point

    Hello,
    I have just recently started to use Apple Mail (3.6) and set up two accounts: one POP for hotmail and one IMAP for gmail. While sending mails works fine with both accounts, the hotmail one stops downloading mails from the server at a certain point.
    From the approximately 15000 mails on the server, Mail downloads about 3000 (the oldest ones, which I neither need nor want on my computer anyway) and then stops. When I click on receive new mails, it will show the connecting sign as usual. The bar on the left, which indicates how many e-mails remain on the server and how many are currently being downloaded, pops up for a second, telling me that all remaining 12000 e-mails have been downloaded in the same time span - which obviously didn't happen.
    I have already tried deleting downloaded mails from my computer, thinking that there might be a limit to the number of mails saved on the desktop. Also I deleted the whole account and set it up again, but the same thing happened at exactly the same point, respectively the same email downloaded. What to do?
    Thanks to everyone who can help me out with this!

    Yes, these were the e-mails that showed up in the inbox, i.e. they were the chunk of mails that I could download before Apple Mail stopped the downloading at all. I deleted them because I thought it would make space for newer ones to be downloaded.
    No, I have not used any other Mail application before. I used to go directly to the hotmail-webpage.
    Interestingly, I have deleted the whole account again and set it up anew - which enabled Apple Mail to another round of downloading mails when I did it the last time. This time however, nothing happened: again, the bar on the left appears for a second, telling me that around 12000 mails are on my server and that all have been downloaded in about this second. But they do not show up. It remains a mistery to me, even more so as Mail is obviously able to detect all mails on the server (when I check under Account Information, Emails on Server) but not to download them.

  • Missing emails between iPhone, Apple Mail & ISP

    We recently opened an Apple mail account to sync the notes in our iPhones and now all the emails from before April 15th are missing from our Apple Mail and our ISP server?  ANy ideas?  Any way to retrieve these emails? 

    Thank you. And now I know one of the reasons why so many people were excited to enable IMAP support for their Gmail accounts on their iPhones. I'll also stop scratching my head over "sync issues", though I wish the information had been better documented by Apple.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Apple Mail stopped today; server suddenly redirects through Yahoo

    At about noon today my AppleMail stopped loading. Somehow the incoming server address got changed to redirect through Yahoo (I've never had a Yahoo acct), and the box is greyed-out so I can't change it. Frustrated. This has happened with three email addresses I use. Until a couple of hours ago the outgoing server was fine but now that won't even work. The computer has slowed down and is nearly unresponsive.

    Thanks much.
    I get a dialogue box that says Internet Account Preferences can't connect to the account. It asks for the password. When I type it in, I get a message Unable to Verify Account Name or Password. This happened on all three email addresses.  There was no "Advanced" option to select. (I'm able to access all of my mail through Verizon's website; it's just Apple Mail that is the problem. It is very slow in responding in any direction: click on a folder and it takes many seconds to open; try to open a new blank message, it takes several seconds and then the curser sticks or doesn't work). All other applications are working okay but considerably slower than earlier today.
    I made an appointment at the Genius Bar for tomorrow. Maybe this has something to do with Yosemite, but I downloaded that several days ago and it's been working well.

  • Apple Mail stopped connecting to gmail

    Macbook Pro - OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks - Mail Version 7.3 (1878.6)
    I swear, i did nothing. It stopped collecting mail (imap), but i did not notice until i got connection errors trying to send a message (SMTP).
    Here is the smtp error message:
    The server “smtp.gmail.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    I tried deleting the account from the preferences and recreating it. Same problem. Since it is all automatically configured i did not try different ports. I wouldn't know which to try.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    Oddly, failure to connect when collecting messages is not throwing up an error. Here is the Connection Doctor details:
    INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 14 09:18:44.990 host:pop.gmail.com -- port:995 -- socket:0x0 -- thread:0x60000146a240
    INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 14 09:18:44.989 host:smtp.gmail.com -- port:587 -- socket:0x0 -- thread:0x608000a74f80
    INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 14 09:18:44.991 host:imap.gmail.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x0 -- thread:0x608000a76540
    Ideas?

  • IPhone won't start - blank screen

    unable to power-up iPhone... blank screen!

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Does it still charge if you use the adapter? If yes, let it charge for 10min, then connect in recovery mode, if resetting did not work. Recovery mode is explained in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • Apple Mail stopped syncing w/ iCloud on Mac

    Without any updates or account changes I stopped being able to send mail via Apple Mail nor is it being pushed to my Mac. Iphone and going online via browser I see mail is on the server. I tried to send an image and the "outbox" never sent, instead showed a spinning gear. I removed the attached mail and tried to send a text only email and it failed as well.I migrated a month ago from MobileMe to the cloud. It worked until yesterday. I tried to send mail and it spun in perpetuity.
    I can use gmail to send and receive but it's not my main mail system.  There are no warnings, no request for password and all connections are green via the connection doctor. I took the icloud mail account offline and put it back online. I have reviewed all the settings via Apple docs. All kosher except I see instead of imap.mail.me.com my incoming mail server reads p99-imap.mail.me.com. I have force quit Mail although it doesn't show it as nonresponsive. I have restarted the computer several times. Nothing would stop the gears from spinning next to the inbox and the outgoing mail box.
    This went on for over 24hrs. I logged into my icloud online and have unread messages. I heard logging into the online account might help but it didn't and why would I need to be logged in a browser in order for the Mac connection to work?
    What else can I check? Preferences to delete? Settings to reset? Thanks.

    Hello,
    I've seen this post and several other posts on these forums with the same problem I was having.
    I made this quick video showing you how I got the iCloud email server back to working function.

    Hope this helps.

  • IPad (classic) + yahoo mail + safari = blank screen madness

    Hello,
    Apologies if this has been asked and answered. I found no comparable thread.
    Accessing yahoo mail via safari. Intermittently, and now quote often, I see only a blank screen after long in.
    Tried resetting, and resetting network. Tried also clearing cache and cookies. No luck.
    I put same q to yahoo.
    Grateful for ideas.

    No replays. I noticed I can't open news links on the main Yahoo page, either.
    My work-around has been to download the Atomic Web browser. It works very well and doesn't have the problems in Yahoo currently experienced with Safari.

  • All Messages in Apple Mail Now Blank

    Hi, I use Apple Mail with my Yahoo email account. Starting today, every I open an email in Apple Mail (including every existing email that I have ever downloaded) gives me an error message, saying that the message was not downloaded from the server and I"need to take this account online in order to download it." Apple Mail is still going online and getting my emails (I can tell because they are marked as "read" on the Yahoo site), but every every email I try to open gives me that message.
    I've just spent a half hour online with someone from Yahoo, who says I need to call someone from their Mac department. Maybe tomorrow - a half hour is enough of a commitment for tonight. Anyone experienced this before? Any ideas? I haven't changed any of my settings. Thanks.

    Nevermind, the problem fixed itself. I don't know what happened; I think I restarted my computer, and the problem was gone. Nevermind!

  • Safari stopped working, Apple Mail stopped working...where'd they go?

    I don't know what happened...I tried to open Safari, the icon bounced a few times on the dock, then nothing. Same exact thing happens with Apple Mail. All sorts of weird things have been happening since .mac mail became Mobilme. Don't know if it's related but I've had nothing but frustration since then. Computer is very slow, internet crawls.
    I'm now using Firefox but it is really slow, too. In the past few days I haven't been able to close the tabs--I've tried manually closing them, closing Firefox, quitting Firefox, even shutting down the computer, waiting overnight and restarting. The Firefox window opens and all of the tabs are still open!
    I used to feel like everything always worked on Macs, but in the past year or so--and especially since mobilme--nothing seems to work very well. Mobilme is a disaster!
    Any ideas on what happened to my Safari and Apple Mail apps? And how to get rid of the tabs on Firefox?
    Thanks!

    Hi there, Barry & Gretchen --
    Barry, I think Gretchen has only one problem --
    her internet connection. That affects everything else that doesn't work well.
    I would tend to concentrate on finding that culprit before doing and A&I,
    but that's just my two cents.
    Gretchen,
    1. Who is your ISP?
    2. Have you contacted them about the slowdown?
    3. How old are your modem and router? Perhaps they need a firmware update?
    4. Has Gretchen run the "internet diagnostics" on her Mac yet???
    5. Is it affecting both your Macs?

  • Iphone 5 map app blank screen

    My built in map application doesnt work. I see the blue dot updating my location, but doesnt show any maps. Just a blank screen. I can pull directions and turn by turn navigation. Everything works but the road/street maps. Does anyone know a fix to this problem?

    I am having the exact same problem... no one was able to provide me with a solution to this.
    This is a major problem since all apps using location services (such as Facebook, Foursquare, Contacts...) use the apple maps as a default application.
    Apple won't let you use anyother map application for your phone. The least they could do is to break the phones free cuz while iphone5 is a great device, some of the software (let's be frank) is not quite there yet. I am so frustrated with this issue
