Mail app no longer works

I've done a force quit on the app and have rebooted the ipad. I've followed Apple's suggestions for checking the settings. Still neither of my mail accounts can send or receive.
Mail stopped working while we are relying on a hotel's wifi. Safari works fine and Mail on my wife's ipad works.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

Mail App no longer working

Last night Mail was working perfectly, as it has for many years. This morning not working. Nobody touched my computer. I did not Install or Delete anything. Did NOT make ANY changes to anything at all.
I use DeamHost for my Web Host and E-mail Service. I have contacted DreamHost Tech Support three times today already. I'm in the Chat Room again, but they cannot help me. They have no clue what is wrong.
I've tried their suggestions to Reset the Password several times. Still Mail is not working.
I even set a Different Password for each E-mail Address, but still not working.
> I can send myself a message from my Mail App and receive it in my Mail App, BUT I cannot receive E-mail from somebody else to my Mail Application.
> Sent a Message from both Hotmail and Yahoo to my Mail App, but did not receive either message.
I really need to Resolve this Issue soon ...... I depend on my Mail App for All of my Important E-mail (Business, Familly, Friends, Personal)
Thanks.
-- Jim

Finalll Resolved the Issue ... !!! As I suspected, it was something incredibly Simple .... !!!
To the right of each E-mail Account in Mail, there was a "Tilde" sign to the right, indicating that there is something wrong with that E-mail Address.
Finally, DreamHost Escalated my Issue to a higher-up Tech Support. After trying many things, most of which I had already been trying with other Techs all day long, finally the Tech told me to right click on the Tilde, and choose
"Take Account Online"
which worked for five of the accounts, but still had issues with the last account, which finally got working.
So what could have been the cause for this Problem to Happen?
I know that somebody did hack into my E-mail Account, because the first Tech this morning gave me some of the characters to my Password (very long Password), but those characters did NOT match up with my Password!!!
Has anyone run into an E-mai Hack like this one ... ???

Mail.app no longer working (OS 10.6.8)

Apple MacBook 2G Hz Intel Core Duo 2008 (black)
OS 10.6.8
Mail.app not opening.....wrong version! There has been no advice on what to do/support or explanation.
For a few months I have no longer been able to open Mail.app.
I have tried a backup older version I had, and this also does not open.
Below is the message I get when trying to open Mail.app vers 4.5 which I had download in March 24th 2011 and subsequently used.
What has happened to Mail.app? that I can no longer use it? And what can be done?

Your version of Mail didn't upgrade properly because you've moved it from its expected location location (to a sub folder you've named "APPLE apps").
Move it back into the HD/Applications folder and apply the 10.6.8 "Combo" update to fix things.

E-mail app no longer works reliably on my Droid Turbo since the recent OS update

The native e-mail app has become unreliable since the recent OS update. All accounts (corporate, IMAP) have incorrect "Unread" totals. The corporate exchange account won't send e-mail. Clearing caches, uninstall/reinstall, all the usual don't bring resolution.
I've switched to third-party e-mail apps pending what I hope will be a fix.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Thanks.

Okay, so tried one more thing and found the culprit - the problem no longer appears after I switch off 'Allow iTunes audio control from remote speakers' preference in iTunes. Apparently this problem happens due to an interaction between the AVR (Denon AVR-1912) and iTunes.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
Please help.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app? Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility. If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

Some of my apps no longer work with Facebook. They work fine on my iPod Touch but not on my 5s. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

YoAshnish,
Let's take a look! Verizon Wireless is not authorized to directly troubleshoot 3rd party apps, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling facebook? What applications are having trouble working with Facebook? Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

Mail app no longer "speaks" English

Opened my Mail app today...and it was in Chinese!?
My International System Pref listed Chinese second to English. When I made Danish a second choice, the Mail app opened in Danish.
The Language list in the Get Info window for the Mail app no longer lists English.
Any ideas to fix this? Specifically, and obviously, how to I get English back into the app?
And another thing. The only way to quit this now foreign-speaking app is to Force Quit.
Grateful for any help.
tony

Hi Tony
sounds like the English part of Mail app has oddly vanished - you're going to have to restore it from a backup, another 10.5 mac, or reinstall it from the dvd & then run the 10.5.8 combo update.
If you like tinkering, get Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com which you can use either to grab the Mail app from the Leopard dvd, or extract/replace just the missing language parts, with any luck

You Tube App no longer working iPad1 Workaround loses all my saved favorites Why?

Hi everyone!
The default youtube app on my iPad1, IOS 5.1.1 stopped working about a week ago, presenting "cannot connect to You Tube " as the only Error message. No Explanation.. no choices... . It shows a sign in screen, no data can be accepted as it says it "cannot connect to You Tube".
I tried contacting You Tube by various means. Almost impossible to get through. I got a phone number. But they had overload for a week or two now, so saying call back at another time for the "You Tube" choice 3. Now it says Choice 5 for You Tube questions and a recorded message (no possibility to speak to a human) directs us to go to "You Tube" .com / support. No help there... old old connection problems solved back in 2009 and iPods, iPhones NO iPads at all... Frustrated...I left that avenue.
I went to this Help Forum called reddit (before I realized they stole your apple logo) but their answers said to try using the Internet version of You Tube to get around this problem. So I managed to get the You Tube "mobile" connection on the web to work instead.
BUT! All my saved/favorites from the iPad 1 are missing!
Instead there is a hodgepodge of various You Tubes I've views on other computer devices I've used to access the web from the same ISP, but NOT the sign in /log in for the iPad1!
How to get my old iPad login working again for all of my favorite You Tube (mostly valuable computer tutorials? Mostly they are on how to use various apps on the iPad that would take long time or "forever" to search again to get back.
How to get all my years (five!!) of saved favorite You Tubes I carry with me on the iPad back again? (I can't carry a desktop computer around, right?).
What is going on here??
Does anyone else experience this problem?
The initial question here came up empty as no one on Apple Community has asked this question before! Does that mean I'm the only one here asking about the You Tube App on the Apple Community?
Thank you for reading my long trial and error in trying to repair this issue.

From what I have been reading on other sites, the app stopoed working when the iPhone 4S was released since it includes Siri. If you look at the box on the right of this thread, you will see other threads just like this one on how the app no longer works.

Apps no longer working on Original iPhone...

Acckk!
As each new upgrade happens some of my apps no longer work and there is no access to older versions of these apps.
Scanforlife, on this day, etc. now refuse to load on to the phone. Have had issues with AOL Radio which no longer works and was on my main screen, but had to take it off as it wasn't working.
Appears that one way or another our original iphones are truly being set out to pasture.

Do you have backups of your hard disc/library to restore the original Apps (ips files) after deleting the updated ones ?
