Mail app on iPad2 crashed after trying to send doc from goodnotes. How can i restore the mail app?

Hi,  I have a problem with my mail app: after exporting a rather big pdf (10mb) from GoodNotes to email (which tried to open an email in the built-in mail app, the mail app crased and only shows a white screenwhen opening it. Settings for the mail app does not respond either and every app that tries to open an email (e.g. Goodnotes, or browser opening  a mailTo link, freezes when trying to open a mail. As mail is a built in app, i can also not delete it ... Anybody has a hint for me? Many thanks for your help!!  Greets Sven

First of all quit the mail app and all of the apps that have frozen. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Close the other apps the same way. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
What I would try next is to delete the email on the server in your web mail account using Safari or another browser. Then when you go back to the mail app - if it opens ok - and the if mesaage is still there in the inbox - swipe on the mesaage - left to right - in the list on the left side - and hopefully the red delete button will pop up. Hit delete to remove it from the inbox. Do the same thing when you go to your trash folder in that email account - swipe the message to delete it.

  • How can I restore the iPhoto app deleted from applications by accident?

    I am trying to restore the app iPhoto that was deleted. I restarted the computer using the Mac OS X v10.2 upgrade Install disc 1 and the response was, "you have a newer version of this system on your iMac" or something like that. How can I reinstall the original app or even an updated version that is compatible with OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)?
    Thanks

    Use the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

  • I have recently re-installed i-annot open because of a problem" response when I try to get into my files. After the re-install I still got the same message from 'pages'.  How can I restore the 'pages' app?

    I have recently re-installed i-Work because I was getting a "pages cannot be opened because of a problem" response and I was unable to read any of my documents or open any attachments from my e-mails. After the install, 'pages' still will not open and gives the same response. How do I restore my 'pages' app?

    I've never seen this error but I'd assume that it can be fixed the same way many Mac application errors are: open your Library folder and look inside the Preferences folder for the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist file and throw it away.

  • How can I restore the Mail function on my iPhone 5c?

    In the past week, the Mail function on my iPhone 5c has gone completely blank. I had the Mail settings set to get mail from two Gmail accounts. In the few months that I've had the phone, I never had a problem with the Mail function. However, one day last week, the screen just went blank and has been blank every time I open the app. This is the native Mail function/app. I have tried deleting both accounts and re-adding them. That did not work. I tried resetting the phone to factory settings and that did not work either. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    It can't be deleted.
    Have you double-checked every home screen and in every folder on each home screen?

  • Incompatible iOS 8 apps updating on my iPhone 4 that only supports iOS7. How can I keep the correct Apps?

    My iPhone 4 is running iOS7. When updating the apps they change to the latest version (8), not supported by my OS. Where are the iOS7 compatible versions? Why can't we keep versions that work? There should be a way that iTunes does not allow updates if there are compatibility issues.
    My device functions ok, so there is no need to update and financially I can not consider a change at the present time.
    (I am hoping other angry users having same issue, so we can unite, rant and create enough publicity to force Apple's hand. Power to the People! =D)

    I understand what your saying... all apps are saved to my library. When I click on update however, it just updates the app with no consideration of compatibility. Yes, they're third party. iTunes however is not.
    Apple does have control of iTunes, so theoretically could write simple code to determine version numbers and compatibility. It could then simply stop the updates that write over apps in the library. (It may be that the previous versions still reside on my system... I would love to know how to find them if they do...).
    By allowing 'no control', it then means that devices that are older will not be able to run functional apps. That is counter productive from a consumer base that can not keep up with the latest 'of everything'.
    Thanks for the reply.
    That works if your only device is an iPhone 4 and you never plan on adding a newer device. However, I sync 5 devices with iTunes on my computer. I certainly want the latest version of apps for the devices that support it.
    You have the option of restoring an older version to the iTunes library from a backup (if you back up your computer regularly). With a Mac and Time Machine it's just a couple of clicks. Also, it's worth knowing that when iTunes updates an app it deletes the old version to trash (or recycle bin), so you can recover it from there up to the time you empty trash/recycle bin.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.
    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

  • How can I restore the previously bought apps after I have formatted my computer without backing up any of my files for iTunes?

    As titled.
    I bought many apps from iTunes at the end of last year, and then my computer had got problem that I had to format and reinstall everything.
    I just want to know how can I restore the previously bought apps once if I forgot to backup any of my files on the computer??
    Would be really grateful if someone can show me how to. Thanks!!
    FYI: At that time I was using iPad 1 and the OS was still 3.1.x. Now I am using iPhone 4 and would like to restore the apps at least those that are compatible to my phone.

  • How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    I do not use the Mail app on any of my Apple devices.  How can I use the Gmail app on the Watch?

    Since Google has not added watch support to the gmail app, you don't. You should be able to get notifications, but at this time, there is no gmail app for the watch.

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • How can I clear the "Purchased" apps?

    How can I clear the "Purchased" apps list from the "Not on This Iphone" list of the Updates section of the App Store on my Iphone 4?
    There is no clear function.  If I Erase All Content and Settings in General Settings will that do it?  It'd be nice not to have to do that and erase all my data and media.

    Nick, you had the right idea.  Success!  I changed my email address on my Apple ID.  Then went to my Iphone and under Settings, iTunes & App Stores, press on AppleID: (I.D.inserted), Sign Out, Create New Apple ID.  Used the original Apple ID email address to create a "new" Apple ID, going through the whole set up process again, including billing info.  Then, when opening the App Store app there are no Purchased apps to display, because there are none on this "new" account.  The old account still exists in Apple cyberspace, but it is not tied to my iPhone or iTunes anymore.  There does not appear to be any way to delete an Apple ID.  Maybe after a few centuries Apple will discard it.  Maybe not.

  • How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

    How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.
