Mail application won't open, anymore. Please help.

A few days ago, I tried to open Mail and have all of a sudden encountered this error message:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Mail version 6.0 (1486/1498). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.8.2 (Build 12C54)."
As far as I understand, Mail is not a standalone App and is downloaded with each revision of OS X, right? I checked for possible software updates, and can't find any.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Had the same problem, I installed the following update and it fixed it for me:

Hope this helps!

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Mac,
Nothing shows up here?

With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.
I am afraid the chat and phone support are off until the beginning of January.

Iweb 09 won't open. Please help.

Hi
I'm still new to mac and I've been using iweb 09 for about 1 week and all has been well until today.
It just won't open. I've tried restarting my mac then and tried opening iweb but it still won't open.
Could anyone offer any advice please
Many thanks in advance.
Michael.

Duh. Typo: Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if iWeb will open.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

My CC is showing I have 3 update but my application manager wont open. Please help...

I need to make update on my Creative Cloud but my application manager wont open. I have tried from the drop down and all I get is the spinning wheel indicating it's loading. When I try from my Doc nothing the icon bounces one then nothing happens. I am unable to access and part of CC from the drop down. So far all of my applications are working fine but I would like to make the updates before they get glitchy.

Hi madimae86,
Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
Please let me know if it is Windows, I will send you the steps already.

IMovie '11 project file won't open. Please help!

My daughter put together a short film for a school project last night using iMovie '11 my brand new, out-of-the-box MacBook Pro (running X.6.8).
I needed to have the identity updated at work today (including reinstalling my user profile used to create the project) - so I moved the iMovie Project files (as well as her original clips) to the hard drive, with IT guidance.
However, now the project won't open. This is extremely distressing!!!
I don't have the iMovie Events files. In fact, I don't recall seeing that file in the Movies folder. I'm not sure if this can be retreived (?) since the user doesn't exist.
Any help and guidance would be most appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi
IT-guidance - can be anything from a Mac Guru to a PC-fanatics (and last sort they do not usually know)
Moving iMovie Event's and Project's -
• MUST NOT BE DONE on DeskTop/Finder as this cut's the connection to iMovie. Has to be done within the iMovie Application (reg. iMovie'08 or 09 or 11)
• MUST BE TO A - Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted hard disk - else material will break up in 4Gb blocks that eventually never can be mended (Need a Mac Guru to do this - if possibly)
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - Will not work for VIDEO (whatever flavor it is .dv, .QT, .mpg2, .AIC etc. - no GO) - for everything else YES - but not for VIDEO.
You might try to move things back - and hope that iMovie now finds the material and then within the iMovie Application move it out to an external Mac OS Extended (HFS) formatted drive - prefer. FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me.
Yours Bengt W

My 3rd party apps won't open. Please Help (Ipad Mini 6.1.3)

I have downloaded a 3rd party app, after using it for several weeks without interruption. It suddenly won't open (crashes) everytime I tried to open it. I have already tried on re installing the app, but nothing happened. Please help, I badly needed that app.

Try deleting the app, closing all apps in the recents tray, reboot the iPad, and then download the app again.
In order to cloase all apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Close all of them. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Download the app again.

Mac Mail application won't open since installing Leopard

Hi Folks,
This is my first post - I have usually been able to locate the help I need just by searching through the discussions, but haven't found anything on this issue (hope I didn't miss it). Since installing Leopard on my MacBook (2 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 80 GB HD) I cannot open the email app. (Mac Mail). The error message I get is: "+you cannot use the application "mail" with this version of Mac OS X+". Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

If you had the Mail Application stored in any other directory (folder) than the root Applications Folder, you will get this error message because Leopard installs a new Mail Application in the Applications folder.
Delete your old Mail Application from its current locations, and from the dock, and run the newly installed Mail Application in the Applications Folder and you should be fine.
This is also true for several other Applications that are installed new in Leopard. I don't know them all, but you will when you run them and get the same error message.
Good luck. Hope this fixes your problem.

Updated Xperia Z on Pc companion, failed and now won't open! PLEASE HELP!

I flashed my phone months ago but now I just wanted to upgrade it to Lollipop or what ever is the latest update for my phone but the problem was during update, the PC companion suddenly stopped. Said it had errors, and would not go any further so I removed my phone from being connected to the PC and now it won't open. How can I make it work again? or at least can I still get the data inside? Please help this is a very heart breaking event. Important memories are inside my phone

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, the phone won't even power on now? No reaction while you hold the ON/OFF button? If that's the case, you will unfortunately not be able to backup any data.
With PC Companion you can perform a software repair. In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.
Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.

Links in e-mails from Mac Mail Application won't open in a web browser

I use my Mac Mail application for all my e-mail accounts. I switched from Safari to Mozilla Firefox and now links I try to click on in my e-mails do not open in a mozilla browser as I they did when I had Safari as my main browser. I've tested Chrome and Safari and the links open when clicked using both of those browsers. However, I prefer Mozilla to both of those and would like to get this working as it is a convenience to have to copy and paste links every time.

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, proceed as follows:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/ and try to open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues.
In the meanwhile, try reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
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.

Photo application won't open anymore on my ipad

I have about 8gb of pictures on my 64gb ipad and been syncing it on the iphoto on my mac. Ive been doing that for quite sometime and working perfectly but after i used faces on my mac and synced it again, Photo application on my ipad wont open anymore. I tried to reset it soft and hard but nothing happens. I tried to erase all the pics except for the saved photos but it still wont open. I know the pics are saved in my ipad cause i can view it via other applications like photo chest but i cant open it via Photo Application. I am in desperate need pls. Thanks.

It's been a while since your post, but if you haven't gotten the issue fixed, you could try a restore from within itunes on your computer. This will replace the OS on the ipad and since the photo app is included in that, it may fix your problem.

Mail application won't open on MacBook Pro

My Apple mail won't open. Console says it's crashing due to a segmentation fault. This happened after installing a system update. Any Ideas?

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
====================
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
=====================
If Mail is working correctly, eject the DVD.
If Mail is not working, boot up from the system DVD again but this time run Apple Hardware Test and report back any errors if any.

Phone apple, or bring it to a retail store near you. You might not believe me but draining the ipod touch battery all the way to zero is not good for the battery. I guess u did it too much and it completely died.
not quite sure where you read that. while it is no longer necessary to leave ipod batteries to run down completely before you charge them up (and that they actually benefit from charging regularly) there is nothing to suggest that letting it drain completely is a bad thing. in fact some people would recommend it as a good thing to do every so often.
but yes, i think you should take it to apple.
I agree with you that some people think its bad and some people think its good, but in my personal experience when i let my battery drain to 0% once, the performance and battery life was really poor.

IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open! I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open. I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
bummer!

Mail Application won't open despite software updates and restarts. Can anyone help?

Hi~
Having major problems with Mail today. Updated all of my software on my Macbook pro and then tried to open Mail which was not responding before the updates. Now it wont even open despite having all software up to date and having tried restarting the computer over and over. When I go to open it it immediately says not responding when I open the Force Quit window. Doesn't matter how long I leave it open. When I try to restart, restart stops as Mail is not responding. have to force quit and start over. Can't access my emails. Anyone have any ideas? PS - I am not very tech savvy, so if you do have ideas, please be clear in how to execute. Thanks in advance!

Had the same problem, I installed the following update and it fixed it for me:
