Mail 2.1.1 Never Stays closed

As strange as this is, Mail will never stay closed.
I Cmd-Q and it will reopen immediately to 10 seconds later.
I force Quit and it reopens sometimes as soon as it will close.
Anyway to fix this without delete my Mail Preferences.
Only problem on my MBP 17"
I use Gmail Via PoP.

The thing is, Mike is on the right track. You probably have a piece of software such as a Dashboard widget, or a plug-in, or a system utility, or iCal remainders, or something like that, that requires Mail to be running for whatever it does...

Optical Drive will not stay closed

The computer dropped 2 feet. Never happened before. It's working OK but I can't get the optical drive door to stay closed. I would imagine the drive isn't working then. What are my options (I've not any experience opening a machine)? What will Apple want to fix something like this?

+What will Apple want to fix something like this?+
Likely more than the iBook is worth.
Some users whose drive wouldn't stay closed have resorted to using duct tape to tape it closed.
Was the computer on when it took the tumble? If so, I would advise repairing the hard drive either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then choose Installer > Open Disk Utility (in Panther) or (in Tiger) click 'Next' at the language screen and choose Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on the hard drive.
If you're in the United States, you can use _this page_ to locate an Apple Authorized Service Provider in your area.
Good luck.

Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.

I just filed a defect, the text of which I have copied below in part. I'm wondering though if anyone else has seen this, and if they have has it occured to them repeatedly? I'm wondering if I need to really keep an eye on my mail problem to make sure I don't keep incuring charges from AT&T and risk setting my phone on fire
Summary: Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.
Symptom: Device heats up to an almost unbearable temperature. Meanwhile in 18 hours the phone chews up over 2 gigbytes of cellular data, even though the phone sat next to a wireless G router, which it stayed connected to, and the connection remained good. I won't claim they are related, only that they occured at the same time.
Point of interest, putting the phone in "Airplane Mode" cooled the device down immediately. Restarting the device helped, unless the email app was opened up after restarting. Same thing with killing the app, cooled down until the email client was opened again. I figured this out over the course of 18 hours.
Steps to Reproduce:
I have not tried to reproduce this issue yet, but here are the actions I took prior to getting into the bad state.
Pre-conditions of the phone: I was connected to a good wifi signal. I had good 3G service. Phone was not experiencing any problems.
1. Took a picture with the camera. Sent picture via email (using iphone client through gmail server).
2. Did step 1 again with a different picture.
3. Took a 43 second movie, which was about 50mb. Attempted to send movie via email same as the pictures.
Expected Results:
The movie would have sent after a reasonable amount of time.
Actual Results:
According to AT&T, 196,265 KB of data was sent in the hour following my attempt to email the movie.
After restarting the phone, I must have killed its attempts at sending, at least via 3G. However I checked my email via my phone again right before bed. I woke up the next morning to find my phone had become extremely hot yet again. AT&T claims I used 1,890,652 KB (not a typo) that night while I slept.
I restarted my phone the next morning and that "fixed" it again. Until around noon I finally figured out that it was my opening the email client that was triggering the heat. At this point I noticed that the email with the attached movie was still "Sending". I could not kill or delete the email, killing the app and restarting the phone did not stop or fix it. I had to put the phone in Airplane mode, which caused the email client to give me a proper error, and then I was able to delete the email. I have had no over heating issues since.
Regression:
Getting charged an extra $20 in data usage by AT&T.
Notes:
As stated, I have not tried to reproduce this yet. I am slightly fearful that I will accidentally incur another $20 worth of data usage unknowingly. My phone has never been jailbroken or in other ways modified, and has experienced no other issues or trauma recently. I've owned the phone for 2 years and it was bought brand new.

In my opinion there is only one way to get this issue fixed -> contact Apple:

Signatures never stay in account

I have on email account using Apple Mail. I've created 4 signatures.
Under Preferences there is All Signatures 4 Signatures. Beneath this is
my account name 0 Signatures.
No matter how many times I drag the 4 Signatures into my account, they disappear after quitting and relaunching Apple Mail. And are never available when I create a new email.
Any way to make the Signatures stay put?
Thanks

Hi Barry,
In the Mail preferences I have 11 signatures in "all signatures" -left hand bar when you click on "signatures." When I try to add them into the "email account" they are added, but only stay there until I quit. When I restart Mail I check the preferences and all the signatures are back in the "all signatures" folder, it says "0 signatures" under the "email account". And when I create a new message the signature option says "none".
Even creating a brand new signature while in the "email account" folder with the + button doesn't work...
I'm thinking I may just have to either trash the preferences or do a Mail reinstall?

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob
G-4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help!

My emails no longer show up unless I go to the mail app manually. Never had a problem before this. Help! I have shut off phone I have tried to change the time for how long the mail will show up but nothing is working

Do you mean you don't get notified of new emails automatically (eg. on the Lock Screen)? This could be because this function is turned off in Settings > Notifications. It could also be that the email account you use is having problems with its PUSH service, if it offers one.

Everytime I change my privacy settings, it never stays which is an issue because I can't use Gmail since my cookie settings never stay on.

I only want to use Firefox, but for the longest time I've had to keep Chrome as a backup browser because that is the only way I can view my gmail account. I want to view it on Firefox, but a cookies issue won't let me. Every time I go into my privacy settings and change it to custom, it never stays. I will change it, and immediately go back to the privacy settings and notice that my last changes haven't been saved. I reset my Firefox to factory settings, as well as started my Firefox in safe mode and tried to see if add-ons would be causing an issue (they weren't, as add-ons are disabled in safe mode and gmail still wouldn't let me in...). How can I make my privacy settings stay permanently to my custom settings please? I would very much like to get rid of chrome and only use Firefox.

You can try to delete the cookies.sqlite and permissions.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Director: Show Folder (Linux: Open Director; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

PB G4 Display Won't Stay Closed

The display on my PB G4 won't stay closed. There seems to be something wrong with the latch, as it won't catch (or stay caught) when the display is closed. Any thoughts on how to fix this annoyance?
Thanks.

Two inches of duct tape or a large rubber band make a pretty effective low-cost fix, but you can also replace the latch assembly for a hefty price:

Note that these instructions apply to the Ti DVI models. you don't say which Tibook you have.
To keep your PB from waking when it opens (it waits until you hit any key), follow these steps:
To set PB so opening the display doesn't wake the computer:
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Type or paste the following in the Terminal window:
sudo pmset lidwake 0
It will ask for your password. Type that in, hit return, and quit the Terminal.
To change it back so the system wakes when you open the lid, type:
sudo pmset lidwake 1
Thanks to Deegan for the tip.

My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem. They are under the heading More Like This.

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).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some 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.)

Panel bin won't stay closed

hi all -
I upgraded from 7 to 9 mainly because 7 developed lots of technical flaws. For right now, I want the good things about 7 to be carried forward into 9. I haven't delved into what's new in PSE 9. So I suspect I'll be posting a lot of these rather trivial questions.
At the right side of the Editor screen there is the "panel bin," (containing the efffects, layers, etc.) In PSE 7 I closed it (by clicking on a little arrow right on the border between the bin and the workspace). That was my default, and I opened it up when i needed it.
With PSE 9, I've been having to close it each and every time I load the work space, and now the closing is done by Window>panel bin. So it seems that having an open panel bin is now the default.
What am I missing? How can I close the panel and have it stay closed until I need it?

Hi,
Try this.
With the panel open, click on the three dots at the middle of the line separating the panel from the thumbnails - that should close the panel to the right side. I think it should stay closed until you next click on the three dots to open the panel.
Good luck
Brian
oops sorry, that was for the organizer and you wanted the editor
In the Editor, the tab key can be used to close/open the panel.

Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

ITunes will not stay closed

I have been having a problem for a few months that I cannot get iTunes to stay closed. When I try and close iTunes, it immediately reopens. This means that I cannot shut down OSX since iTunes always reopens and cancels the restart.
I have searched the net and have not found a answer to this. I do not have the iTunes widget running. I check application monitor and itunes helper is not running. I realize that something is keeping it open but I cannot figure what that is. Is there a log or anyway to find out what keeps open iTunes?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have srs iwow, LastFM & Growl. I have killed all of these and continue to have the problem. (Unless they are hanging around. I have boot with both LastFM & Growl completed turned off and the problem still shows itself.
I should also mention that my itunes now has the spinning beach ball of death quite often. It always comes out of it but at times it takes minuets to complete simple tasks.
Thanks.
