Mail crash now won't launch

I was opening a Mail attachment (a PowerPoint file from a trusted source) last night when my BlackBook suddenly restarted itself for no reason. I happen to think that fact is coincidental to the problem, but at least it gives some background. After a restart (and a permissions repair just to be sure) Mail will not launch - just as it is about to draw the main window it quits. Safe boot has no effect, further permissions repairs also has no effect. Removing the Mail folder from ~/Library/ and home/Library and relaunching Mail from scratch results in Mail starting the Wizard and then it quits out again. Putting my account folders back one by one into the above location also has no effect. I'm also suddenly getting "unexpectedly quit" messages for something called Pub Sub Agent which I'm sure must be related. The crash report says that the thread concerned has "sqlite" in it as well as Pub Sub Agent. Deleting the .plist files for Mail also ineffective.
I'm now at the limit of my knowledge. The only remedy I can think of is to reinstall the OS, which is a bit overkill just to get Mail back. I've downloaded Thunderbird meantime but I really want to get Mail back. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Safari and mail now won't launch

Hello
I have done something very silly. I run 10.3.9 and downloaded and installed Safari 3 not realising it wasn't compatible. It was allowed to install indicating the install was successful. However Safari and mail now won't launch. Have I lost the apps and is there anything I can do to get them back, particularly mail?

Hi Again Christine
Perhaps my responses HERE and HERE, in another's member's Topic Here, may be helpful.
Review that entire Thread for continuity, but if you have questions, please post them here in this Thread.

Safari, Mail, and Software Update won't launch

I've tried downloading Safari 3 but my iMac needed to be 10.4+. As a result my Safari, Mail , and Software Update will not launch. When I click either one it will just do 1 or 2 bounces and will not open. No error message pops up.My Firefox browser does work so it can't be a internet problem.
This is what comes up on Console when I try to open Safari.
Safari can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyndicationUI.framework/Versions/A/Syndicatio nUI (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you.

That's probably because Safari 3.1 introduced a webkit that your Panther applications can't use.
Go to HD/Library/Packages, and delete the package for Safari 3.
Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and delete any reference to Safari 3.
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Now re-install your previous version of Safari from your install disk (the one that came with your Mac).
Repair permissions and reboot.

Safari 2.0.3 won't launch from Mail

Since the new security update yesterday for OS X4.5, my Safari browser 2.0.3 won't launch from the Mail e-mail program.
What do I do now? It was working perfectly before the update.
Kathy : (

I've had the same problem using numerous apps and on different Macs since updating to 10.4.5. Today, using the "check for updates" in Quicken 2006, something corrupted Safari completely and it won't launch at all - double click merely shows the icon in the Dock for a second before it quits. I did all the usual stuff: deleted the cache, cookies, etc. Finally trashed the app but now I can't figure out how to reinstall it alone...

Problem with Safari - now Mail won't launch

I recently also posted this in the Powerbook G4 15" forum, as I couldn't get the link to the Safari forum to work...
I was having trouble with Safari, which kept quitting every time I visited a site that used a certain type of code (not sure what, possibly Java or Flash). I downloaded and installed the Safari 3 Universal version in the hope of improving the situation, but that killed off Safari itself, plus Mail, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. I then trashed Safari 3; I've just found an old version of Safari 1.3, which I've now installed. It's working fine, but Mail still won't launch. I can't even find anywhere where I can download Mail again! Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful, as it has my entire email archive stored within it.
Thank you!
- Kitty.

The Safari 3 install updates a few system frameworks that are used by other applications. Those frameworks that were added were designed to work with 10.4, not 10.3 which is why so many other programs are now having problems as well.
The easiest way to undo this is probably to perform an Archive & Install of 10.3 (and choose "Preserve user and network settings"):

New MacBook Air backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open, I just bought a new MacBook Air and backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open

I just bought a new MacBook Air after my old one suffered a drink being spilled on it and died. I used migration assistant to back up from my time capsule but now it won't open Mail or Safari and iTunes can't find all my music. Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded software updates.

Thanks for that advice however now I have a duplicate of all my documents on my hard drive but the Mail and Safari will not open. I have been able to open iTunes. I have tried to download software updates for Mail and Safari and this tells me that the download was unsuccessful ( after taking some time to download). Can I reinstall the system? Would that help?

Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

Hi
Something weird is happening to our emac!
Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
thanks x

HI,
*"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
Better check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Safari won't launch, and can't seem to re-install

Think I've got the same problem as Dr. Thunder and Mahamba. First, Safari won't launch, giving an error message stating 'Safari cannot open. Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.'
Then, tried to re-install from the Leopard install DVD, Optional installs, and all Leopard apps seemed to install. Restarted and launched Safari, same error message. Went to a different Mac, downloaded the Safari 3.1.2, moved the pkg over via flash thumb drive, and tried to install. Installer gave error message stating I need OS X 10.5.2 or greater, and I'm on 10.5.4.
Any idea what gives?

*Hi atw4, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Try a reinstall of the 10.5.4 Combo Updater. Can't harm and sometimes does wonders.
Good Luck, JP

I installed the latest Security and Safari update. Now Safari crashes and Chrome won't launch at all. Can I revert to the software state before the newest updates?

After installing the latest security and Safari updates (18 Sept 2013), Safari crashes and Chrome won't launch at all. Can I revert to a software state before this latest install?

The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
x7e3000 - 0x7e3fff com.aladdinsys.mmenabler 7.1.0 (99) /Library/InputManagers/MagicMenuEnabler/MagicMenuEnabler.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ MagicMenuEnabler
0x7e7000 - 0x7e7fff com.yazsoft.SDEnhancer ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SpeedDownloadEnhancer
0x254a000 - 0x254dfff com.yazsoft.SDSafariBundle ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/Resources/SDSafariBundle.bundle/ Contents/MacOS/SDSafariBundle
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

Links in Mail won't launch Safari

Can someone share how to get the embedded links in Mail to launch Safari. If Safari is open the link will open in the browser but if not, the embdded link in Mail just flashes like it's trying, but nothing happens. Obviously this used to work but some update, etc. has rendered it "broken."
NOTE* I researched the archives before asking this question and spotted a couple other folks with the same symptoms but no one solved the problem. For the record I have Safari assigned as my default browser and Mail as the defalt mail app.
Thanks
Daniel

Daniel,
try to duplicate the problem when you make a new User account on your Mac:
- open System Preferences, Accounts
- click the + sign and make a new User
- switch to the new user account (appears top right when you click on your user name)
- start Mail and enter your email account settings
- try sending a Mail
If this duplicates your problem, the Mail program itself maybe corrupt and you may need to re-install.
If this does not duplicate your problem, your problem is local.
Not sure how you can repair this, but you might try to drag your plist file to the desktop and restart Mail:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Drag the following file to the desktop:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
Restart Mail
Re-install your mail settings
These actions will not interfere with your mailboxes, it will simply create a new plist preference file when you re-start Mail.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2 my safari, mail and calendar won't open. How do I rectify this issue?

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to the iOS8.0.2 version and since then I cannot access my safari, my mail and my calendar icon is blank. Every time I touch the icon it just blinks, the phone screen goes white and then it reverts back to the main screen. I have used 8.9 GB of storage and I have 3.8GB available.
I have powered my iPhone down a few times and restarted it and it doesn't make a difference.
Please help.
Thank you.

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained in this article:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If this does not work after restoring from the backup, try again, this time without using the backup, to make sure that this is not software related.

Safari, Mail and Disk Utility won't run unless Font Book is Open

Recently Safari, Mail and Disk Utility would crash and spin and the "Application Not Responding" line would appear when I checked the program in the dock. After following a variety of tips from other Apple users, I finally got the programs to run. However, I started them while Font Book was open and now they only work when it remains open. I've been using Apple/Mac products since the beginning of time and have never seen anything like this. I've repaired permissions, throught out preferences, etc., etc. and can't resolve this problem. Please, someone, help me.

Hello buhrow:
That makes two of us that go back to the beginning of time and have never seen anything like that. Have you run the fontbook applications to eliminate duplicates and check for corrupt fonts? Offhand, I cannot understand why just having a program open would prevent other programs from crashing.
If nothing else works, you might want to consider an archive and install (after backing up, of course):

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.

Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mail? Mine won't and hasn't for some time.

I have been having trouble for some time sending e-mails by Safari - no problems with Mail - Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mails?

When we first got our new iMac we were able to send e-mail through Safari - somewhere in the last 2-3 years it stopped and we got the failure to deliver message. We then sent e-mails through Mail - it works well and we have gotten used to doing this. However, every once in a while I retry send e-mails through Safari and we still get the failure to deliver notice. This has also happened when we try to forward some e-mails we receive (not all; most get forwarded).
