Mail and Safari hang on exit after recover from disk crash

Hi,
I had recently a disk crash on my powerbook. Fortunately the disk gave me enough time to save a disk image of my home folder before it died. Now, I have a new disk in, reinstalled Tiger, updated to 10.4.4. (as I had on the dead disk), copied the home folder from the backup, and fortunately most things work fine.
I had a system CRASH, while doing the first Spotlight search. I had a second system CRASH, while working in mail. So, I cleared the mail cache. After that, I had no crash anymore and even mail is working fine, until I decide to quit. It then hangs and I have to Force Quit to exit. Similar things happens to Safari.
I tried several things, e.g. removed the Envelope Index, but it always hangs on exit.
Any ideas what is going on? I wouldn't like to clear mails totally and reimport and reconfigure the whole thing from scratch.
Any help is welcome,
Thomas

Just in case somebody else runs into such a problem, here is the solution to my puzzle:
For security reasons (I have a Powerbook and I was worrying about private data in case of a theft...) my mailboxes and any sensitive information is kept on a FileVault disk image of an account I'm usually not using. Instead the FileVault encrypted disk image is mounted in my home folder. To have Mail use the different location I've put symbolic links (ln -s from the terminal).
Now the problem was, that after my disk crash, some of the directories had been lost, so the links pointed to nowhere. I've got aware on this by looking on the Finder's info on that link. The "More info..." was busy all the time. This means that symbolic links (not aliases!) that point to nowhere are not correctly handled by the Finder and probably by other applications).
Creating the folders the links pointed to solved the problem!
Nice to know!

Mail (and Safari) won't open after Security Update 2007-004

I have a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9. The machine was running fine (I was checking mail, browsing the web) when my weekly scheduled update opened. Per it's suggestion, I installed Security Update 2007-004.
Upon restart, both Mail and Safari will NOT open. The icon for each on the dock simply "bounces" once when clicked then nothing else. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any thoughts on a fix?

Installing a system update while you continue using the computer as if nothing was going on there is a really bad idea.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Security Update, which may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Mail and Safari will not open after 10.4.6 update(s)

Client's Ibook was running Jaguar 10.2.8, and Mail was locking up as it was overstuffed. Upgraded to 10.4.3 to fix the problem, and it did, in fact, fix it.
Was then prompted to install all available updates, which I thought I would do as a courtesy before returning the system to the client.
Now, after the updates, neither Mail nor Safari opens. I get no spinning beach ball...just no response. Other programs, including IE, MS Office programs, and System Preferences are working fine. Starting in Safe Boot makes no difference.
Kind of at a loss and all help is appreciated...thanks in advance!

OK. Do this:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. In the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to the /Applications folder, and try to open Mail and/or Safari by double-clicking on them.
4. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that could have been written there as a result of the failed launch. These may provide useful information to properly identify the problem.

Mail and safari won't work after installing lion.

After upgrading my computer to Snow Leopard then to Lion I am unable to open Safari and Mail. The computer says the versions I have are not compatible with Lion. I have checked to see if there are any available updates by selecting the apple at the top left - the computer states it is up-to-date.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Thank you!

Please check to see if both the Mail app and Safari app were located at the root level of the Applications folder, and not renamed in any way. Unless that is the case, the Upgrade to Lion may not work correctly.
However, also look with Spotlight to see if there are more than one version of each on your Mac, as your links in the Dock might refer to now outdated ones.

Mail and Safari will not start after running MacCleanse

Yesterday, Mail crashed and a log of what happened was automatically sent to Apply. When I click on the program icon, nothing happens, same with Safari. Im in the process of restoring everything with Time Machine, but it seems to be stalled, as TM has been calculating the remaining time to restore for the last ten minutes. Any ideas?

Don't be surprise with programs like MacCleanse, MacKeeper and all those similar programs. It do more harm than good.
Come back here after you clean up those programs, search this forum about all these snake oil products.

I do not have iphoto after recovering from a crash, I have had to reformat a drive and load 10.6 snow leopard to use my computer, but no iphoto to load and view pictures?

I cannot view pictures or load them with my Canon, I have no iphoto to do so, how do I recover it, is it just one of the repurchase deals with Apple and if everything goes to **** again, I just buy it another time, so on and on? I rather drive nails into my macbook pro, I got this thinking I was avoiding windows nightmares, but I guess eventually they show up everywhere?
I doubt you can own a macbook pro without iphoto, but one of you apple geeks will prove me wrong!

Prevent the scheduler from submitting jobs after recovering from a crash

Hi,
I have a situation where I have set up secific jobs to run at 11:00 pm every night. These jobs should only run at this time and not during the day. These jobs typically run for about an hour. If my DBMS server is down at 11:00 pm, and when the server is subsequently brought back up the next day, i see that these jobs are submitted by the scheduler. How can I prevent this?
Thanks,
SV

Hi,
The documented way of doing this is to set the schedule_limit attribute of the job. This sets a max interval after a scheduled job will not be run (just rescheduled).
However, you may run into a bug (#6331177) which prevents schedule_limit from taking effect after database downtime for a recurring job. As a possible workaround a job can query its own REQ_START_DATE and ACTUAL_START_DATE from the all_scheduler_running_jobs view and immediately exit if the difference exceeds some time limit (as it would in the case of database downtime).
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

After recovering from a crash CS4 says "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I am on a Mac Pro with Mavericks running. My system crashed and I had to rebuild it from scratch, though I did restore from a Time Machine backup.
Any application I try out of CS4 gives me: Error: 6
Where do I go from here?

Recovering from Disk crash

Question,
I have an iPhone4 (up and running) and it was "sync" with my Dell laptop (everything; that is music, photos, app's, memo notes, contacts, calendars, mail accounts, bookmarks and notes) I had a problem and had to "reinstall" the OS and the whole software. One of these was iTunes, now when I was "trying" to sync my phone with my lap if I try to "mark" the boxes to sync "everything" I had in my phone, I am receiving a message warning me about "everything" in my iPhone will be "lost".
I need to "restore" everything in my lap to get my data on both devices.
Any idea about what can I do?

Restore your data from the backup of your computer. The iPhone, like all iDevices is not a backup device, it is merely a mirror of the content on your computer.

Mail and safari crash after update to 10.4.10

I have recently installed the update to Tiger (OSX 10.4.10) and ever since I have installed the update I have a problem with both Mail and Safari. In Safari the browser just closes (no dialog pops up, it's as if I'd just quit it). This doesn't have a particular point when it closes, it could be after as little as 5 seconds, or as much as an hour or so.
Safari does something similar however it is only when I click "New" or Forward/Reply, to create a new email, it just closes. It recieves and opens emails normally.
I don't know what I can do, so far I've had no luck finding anyone else with this problem. However I need my email for work, so it's getting quite a problem.
As a note using Fire-Fox I don't have any problems with programs closing, it is only these two programs.

Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, if you’ve installed Safari 3 Beta, uninstall that first, then reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
If you installed the latest Security Update, you may need to reinstall that as well:
Security Update 2007-006 (Universal)
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
BTW, please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that the version of Mac OS X you’re running now automatically appears in all your posts and not just in some of them.

Mail and Safari Crash after Full Restore with Time Machine

I did a complete restore with time Machine. I opened Mail and it did it's thing importing all the mail and creating it's new index and folders. Now Mail and Safari will not work. They crash every time I open them.
They were working fine, the only reason I did the restore was I inadvertently formated my hard drive while trying to install boot camp.
Anyone have any idea what to do?
Mario

I have exactly the same problem as iGin. All other programs appear to be behaving normally, just Apple Mail and Safari crash immediately after starting them up - very annoying!

Mail and safari hogging cpu - corrupt preferences?

I am having a major problem when I run Mail or Safari under Mavericks on my iMac - they hog all the CPU making it hard to do other things unless I keep quitting the Mail Web Content or Safari Web Content processes using Activity Monitor. This also has shown up in other discussions on this board and no one seems to have a resolution to the problem. But the curious thing is that I only have the problem on my older iMac, but on my new MacBook Pro that also runs Mavericks, runs Mail with identical settings (and is accessing the same server) and runs Safari with the same bookmarks there is no problem. So the problem must be with something on my iMac that is causing Mail and Safari to keep running these Web Content processes and taking over the CPU.
In the old days I would have assumed it was a corrupt Preferences file and deleted that, but no one has sugggested this. Is this possible? If so, what should be deleted?

While everything had been working fine, this morning I installed the latest update to the operating system and I am back with the same problem (although I am only having Mail Web Content hogging the CPU and not Safari Web content this time). I am posting below some information from the log as you suggested (sorry if it is too much but I don't know what you are looking for). Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks for the help LInc.

Mail and Safari say goodbye in Leopard

I installed Leopard and so far have encountered this problem: Mail and Safari will, although open and running, not open new windows. Regardless of how I try to open a new browser Safari just sits there. Same in Mail: after a while it just hangs, no windows can be opened, but new mail is received and diplayed in the dock mail icon. It seems to have to do with sleep mode, I first linked the problem to Time Machine, but the freeze still occurs although I switched Time Machine off.
Any hints anyone?
If I log off and back on the programs will open correctly, just quitting them has no effect, i.e. no windows.

I am not alone with this problem. But thankfully, someone has already helped.

Anyone know when Apple plans to release 10.5.1? They better hurry.

Mail and Safari still freeze all the time-help

Even with the latest Mavericks updates, Apple mail and Safari freeze contstantly to the point that I can't send email or use Safari. I had after the initial mavericks release gotten mail to function by shutting off 2 Gmail accounts I had on my MacPro. After the update that supposedly fixed the Gmail issues, I turned on my Gmail accounts and Mail started freezing almost immediately on startup. Was able to get in and shut the accounts don again, but Mail keeps freezing. I even removed the Gmail accounts from Mail prefs, but that didn't help either. I can usually get Mail to launch and for the most part can read email, but if I try to respond, once i type and email and try to send, Mail freezes and I have to force quit. Once Mail hangs Safari hangs shortly thereafter or if it's not even launched I can't launch.
I have been using macs for a long time and have never had such a bad time with an upgrade. Have tried most of the solutions posted, and am baffled as to how to make things work.
Any suggestions welcome.

Can be impossible to uninstall. Popular with recent converts from the Windows world. CleanMyMac should really be called "TakeABigShitOnMyMac". Needs to be uninstalled.

Mail and Safari crashing

Not until I moved to 10.5.2 have I had so many crashes and lock ups. It's as if I'm working on a PC. The problem seems to be when I'm working in mail and Safari. I know there is no solution to this problem but I thought I should post my frustration. I've switched my browser to FireFox and will see if that helps. I will also try and find a different mail client other than Mail.

Hi, Patrick.
1. You wrote: "I've long had a problem with my computer going to sleep via Energy Saver automatically - it doesn't, the screen goes dark but the hard drive continues to run. So whenever I do want the computer to go to sleep, I have to do it manually."I presume the slider for Computer sleep is not set to Never?
Check these Console logs for clues. Look for large blocks of rapidly-repeating messages being written to the logs cited in that link. This indicates a process is logging excessively, preventing sleep. Known causes of this include software distributed with Canon scanners and HP All-In-One Printer-Fax-Copier devices.
If you find large blocks of rapidly-repeating messages, post a small sample for analysis.
2. You wrote: "Shortly after upgrading to 10.4.5, every time I woke my machine from sleep the application Mail would crash, and I'd get the Report to Apple dialog box. I upgraded to 10.4.6, and now it happens with Safari and Mail - every time. Any suggestions?"Tow thoughts here:1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. See my "Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch" FAQ for advice on troubleshooting this issue.Good luck!
