Mail application cancels shutdown-white screen on computer startup

When clicking a dock icon, it continues to bounce and will not open. Then when I try to shutdown computer, I get the message that mail is stopping the computer from shutdown and needs to be force quit. When I do this, the screen goes white for 15 minutes before it will shutdown. When I restart it, I get the white screen forever and must use the power button to turn it off and unplug it for 20 seconds and all is fine. Doesn't happen everyday. Not sure if it is related, but at times a screen keeps moving an inch or so from left to right again and again. Must keep clicking the mouse to get it to stop. imac, 2 years old, Mountain Lion

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

TS2537 Mail application cancels shutdown and refuses to quit

I am running OS 10.9 and I still have problems with the mail application. It often does not want to quit and cancels shutdown. Are there any suggestions out there?

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When i click on messages the application opens a white screen and don't open it.

Hi aldamtgf,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Messages is only displaying a white screen when you open it, first force close the application using this method:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:

If Messages still does not open normally, restart your iPhone next:

Design Studio 1.3 applications shows only white screen on Mobile BI App (iPad)

Hello Design Studio friends,
after upgrading or BI platform (4.1) Design Studio Add-On from version 1.2 to 1.3 we could no errors, everything works fine. But now we have the issue, that all of our Design Studio Applications do not work on iPad.
All mobile Applications are listed correctly in the overview in the Mobile BI App. But after starting one application the loading screen is running and after loading only a white screen is displayed. No data, no components, no variables screen etc.
Do you have any idea about the reason of our problem?
Here some additonal information, what we have done:
After upgrade we restartet the BIP and checked that all services are running.
We saved new Design Studio 1.3 Applications on BIP.
We run the Design Studio Applications local (everything works) over BIP on Desktop clients (everything workds), via Mobile BI App (iPad iOS7, newest iOS Version and newest App version) (only white screens are shown).
We deleted all metadata on iPad and reconnected to our BIP.
Our DataSources, integrated in the Design Studio 1.3 applications, are based on SAP BW Queries of a BW 7.4 system.
Many thanks for help and your support.
Kind regards
Patrick

Hi Tammy,
I deleted the mobile BI App from my iPad and installed it again (newest version).
No changes, after loading the Design Studio Application only a white screen is shown.

IPad mail opens with blank white screen and then closes since returning from overseas. Worked fine up until then.

Since returning from overseas my iPad mail does not work. Selecting mail opens a blank white screen which stays open for a short time then closes. No functionality is available during this time. Doing the normal reboots etc does not resolve the problem.

Have you tried to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and removing then re-adding the account info?

E-mail app frozen on white screen

Help!!! Iphone 5s - email app is on a white screen. I have tried flicking up tile and restarting, but it did not help. I also pressed the menu button and top button for 15 sec for a hard shutoff, but once again it did not help. I deleted the mail account, then uploaded it once again, but it did not work, the white screen is still there. I ask siri if there is any mail, and she says yes and displays them, but when I press the mail, it open the app on a white screen... What else can I do?.

Hello isbe1604,
Having no access to your email can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

White screen when computer turned on. Software problem?

I have had my macbook for about 4 months, and it spent 3 months being repared! The first time for a problem of batteries that made the computer heat too much and turn off, and the second time because when i wanted to turn the macbook on, there was only a white screen with colored vertical layers on the screen, and impossible to do anything else than to just turn it off pushing the on/off button. They changed the CPU (it took them 2 month to change it btw) and gave it back to me 5 days ago. I used it twice this week end to watch a DVD and yesterday when i tried to turn it on, i had this white screen again! I called the hot line and they told me they heard of this problem but did not know what it was. they said they could talk me through some repair procedures on the phone that might help, but i needed to pay 50 Euros for it, although the computer is under warranty, if it's on the phone since it's faster we must pay! I was pretty upset and just hanged up and called my brother who told me to press 4 keys while putting the computer on and keeping those 4 keys pressed while the computer would turn itself on 7 or 8 times. After that i let the keys go, and it worked. Now the computer is working but i don't dare turning it off in case it wouldn't turn on again. So i'd like to know if anyone have had the same problem and might have an answer for this. Apparently it's not the CPU since it's new (unless i'm really unlucky and got a broken one twice) so maybe it's a software problem?
Also since it will be the third time in 4 month i bring the computer to repair it and i have not been able to use it more than 3 weeks, i asked if i could just exchange it and have a new one, and i'm told that's not possible, there has to be a commition to decide whether they can just replace it or not. I'm very upset now and disappointed with Apple!! Does anyone know how to make this computer exchange procedure a bit faster?
Thanks for your help

Yes, i have tried that! They say the macbook has to go 4 times into repair, and twice for the same problem so that i can change it.
It is completely unbelievable. I am so disappointed with apple right now!
Thanks for the advise though

White screen at computer start up

friend's computer has a white screen upon start up. We have tried at the rebooting steps in manual. screen is now white with a blinking folder icon with a question mark in the middle of it. What does this icon mean, and do you know of any other steps before we go to apple store?

White screen and computer and iTunes will not recognize

I was attempting to install the update, when my computer and iTunes stopped recognizing the iPhone. Now it is stuck on a white screen, and I can't do anything. Help, please!

Hi,
Try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
If you cannot restart the iPhone, try resetting it by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the issue persists, try putting the iPhone into recovery mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Mail app on iPad2 white screen, unresponsive

I have an iPad2 that is up to date with the iOS. When i open the Mail app it is an unresponsive, white screen. No emails, buttons appear but don't work. I have already tried:
1. Had reboot holding down home/power
2. Reset all settings
3. Delete email accounts and then re add.
Any other suggestions?
Mail does work on our other devices so I know it is not a "hotmail" issue.

Hi JJ
I have 2 clients with the exact same problem. Since the iOS update 8.0 their mail apps launch run for a while then kick off to a black blank screen and crashes the mail app, this brings them back to their desktop.
I have done everything from factory restores to changing their mail account types from IMAP/POP/Exchange MAPI this does not solve the problem. We have taken it in to our nearest iStore and they have stated that nothing can be done and that we should hope that the next iOS update fixes the issue. I believe its an OS bug crashing the iOS mail app. I hope APPLE team look into this as if there is no fix on the next update i am going to recommend my clients revert to an older version of iOS and you know what an ordeal that is and what all that requires.
I will keep you posted on my findings but in the meantime i don't think anything can be done.

White Screen on Safari Startup

My proble started with the latest update to Safari. I get a white screen when I open Safari with "Go to this address" in the address bar. I have gone to Safari preferences and reset my homepage several times with no positive results. I even tried to upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion which didn't correct the problem. What next?

Hey Soonerfan591,
I just started getting the same thing yesterday. I'm not sure why. I have OS X 10.7 Lion but I downloaded that like a week ago. I'm searching now to see what may be the issue but it's annoying.
It does not do it all the time either. It will work for a while like normal and then the white screen starts showing up. But, in just a little reseach it looks like it's happening enough that there are many hits for this problem.

TS3274 ipad with white screen only after startup

Just downloaded/installed the latest ios for my iPad and will turn on but stop at a "white scren". It is "stuck" at a white screen with no other functionality ???

Tom-
Try resetting (rebooting) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Oracle application server control white screen problem

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Application server 10g. Both the infra and mid tier are running from the
same machine.
I am able to login to application server control from http://riysvdwh-004:7777, but
unable to login to the application server control from http://riysvdwh-004:7778,
i can login to portal and discoverer from the second link, but when i click on"log on to
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control:" i get a white page and 5-6
pipe symbols moving at the top left of the screen and i dont get the next screen.
I have checked the setupinfo.txt file in midtierhome/install location and found out that
the hostname in the database connection string is different, instead of hostname riysvdwh-004
, it is riysverp-004,
Use only SSL connections with this Oracle Internet Directory:No
Database Connection String: riysvdwh-004:1521:ASDBDEV.riysverp-004:ASDBDEV.riysverp-004
Use the following URL to access the Oracle HTTP Server and the Welcome Page:
http://riysvdwh-004:7778
i think this could be a reason why i am unable to login from port 7778.
Is there a way to make this work.
would appreciate some suggestions.
regards,

1) Look in the $ORACLE_HOME/install directory ... ports used for the various functions such as EM are usually listed in the portlist.ini file in each Oracle Home
2) Ask in the App Server forum. There is an assumption that questions in the Database forum are primarily focussed on Database issues. <g>
