Mail and Notes stopped working on my Macbook after 10.8.5 upgrade iOS7 upgrade
Hello
I recently upgraded my system to 10.8.5.
I also recently upgraded my 2 iphones to iOS7.
Then i found out my Notes were not syncing on my macbook pro, but the sync works fine on both iphones and when i check the iCloud website, they are also updated.
Then mail also stopped working and after reading some posts on this forum, i understand that mail and notes are somehow connected (both using IMAP?)..
I can't configure my iCloud email account on the mail app, i get a "iCloud IMAP « p03-imap.mail.me.com » not responding" answer, whatever i do. I tried deleting the account, deleting all entries linked to the mail app in the keychain, changing my iCloud password to match new apple password requirements.... nothing works.
And all my other email accounts don't work anymore either. Mail just won't connect with any Imap or Pop server.
My internet works fine, I can access all those emails account via webmail interfaces.
Again, my iCloud works fine on all other iOS7 devices.
What's the problem??
Thanks

Mail.
Hold down the option key and go to Finder/Go, then select your User Library. Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Before I updated to Yosemite, I could FaceTime other people and Message other people with the MacBook Pro apps. However, after I updated to Yosemite, they stopped working. I get "not delivered" feedback on Messages, and "call failed" on FaceTime. I made sure that both have the correct emails checked and unchecked in the settings as my iPod, and made sure that the "make calls from" or "begin new conversations from" coincide with my handheld Apple media player.
Am I not doing something? Am I doing something wrong?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Mail and Safari stopped working/opening at all
Hello,
Mail and Safari won't open. The little black arrow appears under them in the dock, but nothing... The little pop-up menu that appears when I click and hold on the icons in the dock says "Application not responding" and offers me the option to force quit. I have checked my users folder and apparently the mailboxes are there, but I cannot open the program. I have always had several mailboxes and kept messages separate and under categories to avoid too many messages in one mailbox.
I tried to repair permissions and I even safe-booted, but no help at all. I noticed in another posting...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5884802#5884802
that someone else is having a similar problem. Could it have been from a security update which I did recently?
Please help!!!
Thank you in advance
RobHi Rob
You could try reinstalling the update again, this time with all applications closed and not using your computer at all while the installation proceeds, especially during the optimization phase part of the process.
If you chose 'Install and keep package' from the Software Update you will find it in
HD/Library/Packages
If you did not keep the package you will need to download it again.
As you are not on the net, (unless you have Firefox which works) download the package, move it to HD/Library/Packages and double click on it to reinstall it.
Security Update 2007-008 (10.3.9 Client)
With a bit of luck doing this might rectify your network connections.

Mail and addressbook stopped working
My computer locked up and I had to turn it off manually. When I started it back up I clicked mail and it went to the Welcome to Mail in Tiger window instwad of opening my mai. I clicked continue and it goes to Importing and never imports anything. Also when I click on ichat, it walks me through the setup instead of just logging on, but it works. If I close it and open it it goes through the setup again. I click addressbook and it acts like it is going to open and fails. I have no idea why these programs are doing this. I have rebooted the computer and nothing changes. I was using a pop account for gmail. HELP!
There might be alot more users that are able to help you if you post this in the iMac section, this is a forum for the iPhone

Liquify tool has stopped working in CS6 Extended after Windows 8.1 upgrade
My liquify tool in CS^ Extended has stopped working after upgrading my operating system to Windows 8.1. It was fin in Windows 8.0. Suggestions on how to fix this please.
This is not a proper solution (as it would cost you the GPU dependent features like Rotate View Tool etc.) but it does indicate that you may have to update your GPU driver from the GPU maker’s site.

Why has Firefox suddenlhy and permanently stopped working on my MacBook Pro?
Firefox launches and runs for 3-4 seconds, then hangs for 3-4 seconds, then crashes. I have uninstaled and re-installed Firefox "clean" with the same results. I have started in Safe Mode with the same result. I have uninstalled Flash Player, same result. I have downgraded to Flash 10, same result. I am attaching the troubleshooting Information as well as the latest crash report.
We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
#Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article. -
Mail and notes request an icloud email address
Although I have set up an iCloud account a while ago I have yet not been using it.
After installing OS X 10.8.2 and IOS 6 on my MBA and iDevices I decided to have a look at iCloud.
I logged on iCloud .com and accessed to the main window. All but Mail and Notes were working.
Those two are asking me to provide an iCloud.com valid email address.
I do have a "me.com" email account, but it does not take it as it forces an icloud.com extension.
If I try to create an icloud address it refuses it as it says it's already being used.
I really do not understand the problem I am facing.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and help me have iCloud up and running.
Thanks In advanceThank you for your help.
I start to understand the issue. My iCloud account is [email protected]
I did what you suggested and logged into iCloud with my "me.com" email adress. And Mail and Notes did launch. The issue is that I do not use this account in my everyday work.
Does that mean that iCloud Mail and Notes request an 'me.com' address to work. That seemms strange and confusing since the other services do accept the 'orange.fr' address.
Is there a workaround? I should not be the only one using iCloud with my Internet provider address.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions.
Thanks -
I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
JohnHi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated! -
A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer. i even bought a new hard drive to do the clean install but the same thing happens. Please Help
Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous. -
Why have the ports on the left of my macbook pro and the wifi and bluetooth stopped working?
Hey All,
About a week ago the two usb ports on the left of my 17" macbook pro, soundcard, wifi, and bluetooth stopped working. The power port, ethernet, remaining usb on the right are still functional. I've tried repairing the permissions and other software based solutions but to no avail. I'm worried that this might be a motherboard issue but am apprehensive about taking the ol' girl into a genius because it will probably cost more to repair than the remaining value of the system. Anyone have any ideas, can confirm my suspicion?
Thanks!Well I'm using Google Chrome browser on Lion and when I type in that URL nothing happens. Except for the "This webpage is not available" banner.
So it looks like your website is down and what you are getting on your devices are cache.
Oh just deleted the www and now I see the page. Yup all the info looks intact. home about us products Q&A and so on. -
After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

word has stopped working on my macbook air, i have used it before and powerpoint etc are all still working, but i can no longer open word or word files can anyone help?
Hi Rachel,
Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

I have tried most of this, except for a couople of things i currently cannot due. The apps that are acting up the most are YouTube an Vine. Facebook and Safari work fine. -
Hi, I use facetime regularly with my parents who live outside US and it stopped working. Their ipad2 rings,says connecting..and then 'call failed'. Upgrading their iOS5 (or 6) is not a option as my parents do not know to do this. I came across forums where this issue is mentioned on apple support and cnet.
Is there another option apart from upgrading ?Well, in his defense, his parents bought him the player so I guess we can't blame him. Though the 6 GB versions were available in November so I guess they really did get 'nervous' about Christmas and like to get their shopping done early! Kudo's to you for trying to remain with the Creative line but for what you're looking for it's obviously not the player for you. Creative seems to be fine-tuning their line for the audio crowd. I'm into mp3 players for the audio. Sure, the ability to watch video's and look at pictures on a decent screen is a plus but for me at least, it's all about the music. And with music, 6 GB is more than enough. Heck, 8 GB would have been more than enough for me. I'm a subscriber to Napster-to-go, so I don't feel the need to carry 00 plus GB of stuff on my portable player. I honestly don't understand the desire to watch movies or TV shows on tiny little screens. But you're also talking to a guy who doesn't watch television. What a complete waste of time and brain cells. Probably the **competitor products we can't discuss here** or one of those players would better suit your needs. Companies are definately picking their niche markets carefully and Creative's decision to not offer hard dri've players any more seems to definately be saying bye-bye to that market. I can't say I blame them. Hard dri'ves eventually give up the ghost and are quite delicate for people on the go. Good ridance, I say. Let Apple, Zune and all the others cater to the Z generation's need to be spoonfed their video/TV addictions anywhere and everywhere. I'll pass. It's one thing to be able to enjoy some music on the go and enhance an otherwise dull work day or dri've. But movies/TV shows at work, school, or wherever? Please. Cut the cord! Just my $.02 - YMMV!

Scanning problems with Canon Pixma 5300 series after upgrading to newest Macbook Pro
