Mail app appears to open but no windows will open in ML

I updated ML last night and my mail app will not open the main reading pane window , I get the menu bar and I can get the compose window to open but not my inbox or my mailbox folders window , not sure if the update has anything to do with it but worked fine before that.I also saw a new or different option on one of the dropdown menus that I have not seen before "rebuild mailbox database" If I remember correctly. As I said earlier the only window I can get to open is my compose window , I have restarted and even turned completley off and restarted with no success , I have not tried deleting the .plist yet because I was hoping no to have to. Any help would be appreciated.......Thanks in advance

Which app icon is missing?
Are you sure it wasn't moved?
Have you checked on another page or in folders?
Does it show in spotlight search? (Swipe down from the center if the screen)
Check your restrictions:
Settings > General > Restrictions
You can also try resetting your Home Screen Layout:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
Delete it:
Settings > General > Usage > select the app > Delete
and redownload:
Open the App Store > Updates > Purchased

Clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, but the window will open up but it appears blank

When clicking on a picture or link that will automatically open up a 2nd window to view, the window will open up but it will just appear blank and says Type a Web address in the top bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I open Thunderbird no windows will open on my desktop until I click "Hide Thunderbird" then click on the dock icon again, Mac OS10.8

When I click on the dock icon to open Thunderbird, the menu at the top of the screen opens, but no windows, ie. Mail & Newsgroups, New Message, About Thunderbird, etc. will open on my desktop. I have to click on Hide Thunderbird, then click on the dock icon again, and then all of the windows I attempted to open become visible. This is on a Mac running OS 10.8.5, Thunderbird 3.0.11. All runs normally after this until I quite Thunderbird.

Hello,
Sorry you are frustrated. If you have improvements you would like to make, you can file them to the [[Suggestion Box]] and the Firefox logo in the top left with upside down arrow is the Firefox button containing menu items. Try a clean reinstall as instructed below to see if it resolved your issue.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Downloaded books in DE format will not open in app on PC. The DE window will open but there will be nothing inside.

I recently downloaded DE to use an e-book I purchased on my PC.

The DE is authorized.

Firefox opens but no window comes up--no new window, tab, etc.

My iMac, OSX 10.9.4, opens Firefox so I have all the tabs running across the top, but no window will open. None of the top selections brings a window up--new window, new tab, private window, bookmarks, history, view--nothing.

There is no window, or the window is blank?
Occasionally the Firefox window will get off screen. Here are three different
approaches to getting that window into view. One of them should work!
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Arrow Key Method'''
If you know that Firefox is off to a particular side, you can use the arrow keys
to move it back on screen. You only need to move it far enough to be able to
click the title bar and then you can drag it the rest of the way.
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination
to start moving the window:
Alt+Spacebar > M
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the
letter m to start moving the window.)
Press the arrow key for the direction you want to move the window, e.g., press
the left arrow key to move the window left. Press the Enter key to complete the move.
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Maximize + New Window Script Method'''
If Firefox is nowhere to be found but you know it's out there, try this method.
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to
maximize the window:
Alt+Spacebar > X
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter
x to maximize the window.)
If that works, try this:
(1) Copy the following line of code to the clipboard (it's all one line...):
newwin=window.open(window.location.href,"_blank","width=640,height=480,menubar,toolbar,personalbar");newwin.moveTo(0,0);
(2) In the maximized window, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console.
(3) Press Ctrl+v to paste the line of code next to the caret (») then press Enter to run it.
A new copy of that page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen.
(4) Switch back to the maximized window and close it first, before doing anything
in the new window.
'''Firefox Window "off screen" — Remove Settings File'''
If you can't move or maximize Firefox, you can rename or delete the settings
file that stores the last window position.
(1) Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder).
From the Start menu (Run box or search box), paste this into the search box and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
This should open a window showing one or more Firefox profile folders. If you have multiple
folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder.
(2) If Firefox is still running, right-click it on the Task Bar and Close all Windows.
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your profile folder, then rename
'''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old.
Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.

Pages opened but no window appeared

Hello,
I have problems with Pages 5.1
I tried to launch the program. It is opened but no window appears. when I clicked on the Pages icon on the dock, the menubar on top of the sceen is well the menubar of Pages. I also tried to open some documents of mine and start new document but no window comes up. When I looked in the menubar >Window I can see list of documents I tried to open + untitled documents. Even if I tried to click Bring all windows to front, nothing happen.
Does somebody have any solution to this?
Apparently it's not only Pages but also Keynote that manifests this behavior.
Thanks in advance.

How many displays do you have?
Are they all turned on?
Are your documents minimised to your Dock?

Facetime opens but the window doesn't appear?

Facetime opens but the window doesn't appear. I am capable of accessing the setting a preferences from the top bar but the window is still not there. The green light for the camera also turns on. I am running mountain lion with the latest updates on a macbook pro with retina display.

Yeah. Apparently there was a hardware malfunction. I took it too the apple store and they replaced the top clamshell. The repairs would have cost around $750 if it wasn't under warranty. I recommend buying AppleCare when you can.

Hi,
You appear to have the wrong end of the stick as they say.
Just starting your computer needs certain Fonts to be present to display the text you are likely to see.
Most of those needed to do this are in the Hard Drive icon/System/Library/Fonts.
Some apps require different Fonts and in the case of Messages this is AppleGothic (all one word) and is found in Hard Drive/Library/Fonts.
You would normally use the Apple App called Font Book to check these Fonts are working properly.
Prior to the Yosemite version of Messages (still called Messages 8 like th Mavericks version) you could change the Font use in the actual Messages in the app.
On a Character or word or Sentence basis there was the Format Menu.
There was also a Pane in th Preferences called Messages that let you choice the Font, the colour of the text and the colour of the balloons for Out going Messages and also Overriding the incoming ones.
You can no longer do this as the Preferences Pane and the Format Menu have gone.

IPhoto opens but the window doesn't!

Latest version of iPhoto and it opens but the window doesn't. I've reinstalled and my photos are all there in the library but there is no window? Any ideas?

Yes the files does recreate itself immeadiately. This is new information:
The Rainbow BOD happens and I can only force quit the app.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Safari 5 Opens but no window comes up? Even after I click open new window.

So i downloaded Safari 5 form the update and then from the full download install.
My problem is...
Safari opens.
but no window opens.
I go to the top I click safari and go down to "Open new window"
Still nothing.
I click to quit safari.
It says "0,1,2,3 windows are open in safari do you want to quit anyway?"
(depending on how many times I clicked to open a new window)
but even tho it is sayign windows are open my computer doesnt show them anywhere.
any help people?

Hi,
Try launching Safari from your Applicatioms folder instead of the Dock.
If that doesn't help ...
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Try restoring to factory settings (not from backup) and redownloading your content.
