Mail crashed and wont start up

Hello
I hope some one can help. At work I use Mail for my emails, last night it crashed and when I tried to restart it the application will open but crashes immediatly again meaning I cannot access any emails or pick up incoming ones. What do I need to do to get it working again? I have restarted the machine a couple of times but to no avail. Please help. Thank you

Hi Mitchell&George, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • AFP Service Crashed and Wont Start Again

    I've got a 10.3.9 Server just running afp. It the AFP service just quit working yesterday while people were using it.
    Now I can't get the service to start up Clicking the "Start Service" button in Server Admin does nothing.
    serveradmin gives me this:
    Classof2009:~ root# serveradmin start afp
    afp:command = "setState"
    afp:state = "STOPPED"
    afp:status = -1
    The only thing in the logs might be:
    The server wasn't able to start (Unable to register IPC port)
    But thats only happened a few times and not every time I try to start the server.
    Crash Reporter shows nothing relevent either.
    Ive tried rebooting, disabling and re enabling the network interface, and clicking the "Start Service" button over and over!
    Help! I don't know where else to look!

    Is there anything in system.log after trying to start AFP? You can view system.log with the Console.app.

  • Mini crashed and wont start 4 days after I bought it.

    I have the mini 1.83ghz. As soon as I got it, I upgraded it to OSX.5. Ran great for the 4 days I had it. Today I loaded it to transfer files from my Windows laptop. While trying to transfer files, the computer hung up and then crashed. Now the it wont boot up at all. No spinning, beeps, or lights.
    Any one have any ideas on it? or is my mini dead?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    When you say it won't boot and you get no spinning, beeps or lights, do you mean you don't even get the little power light lit up? If so, then there is no power getting to the logic board, which could be anything from a defective power source, to the power brick, or logic board itself.
    I would unplug everything and move it to another location to make sure it's not a wiring issue with the power outlet you've been using, and test it again. If it's dead in the other location, call Apple and arrange to return the system, or pack it up and take it to a local Apple store to be looked at if you have one in your area.

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

    i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

    Hi,
    Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
    1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    3. Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
    4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
    Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
    5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
    6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
    Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
    Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
    **** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
    THANKS

    lllaass thank u bro, but none worked for me
    i have tried all these methods n above which i mentioned before....
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    in the end i went ot market n paid him 1.94$ and he restored it to 6.1.5... and said apple has closed other ios updation except 6.1.5 ...but still thank u soo much learned some new stuff from u...

  • Widnows 8.1 keeps crashing and re-starting.

    Hi there, Windows 8.1 keeps crashing and re-starting on my Asus laptop. The problem is getting worse and worse to the extent that it is happening every 15 minutes or so. I have run all the windows troublshooting applications via my control panel and carried
    out various virus checks and system cleaners.
    The dump files are zipped and accessible via the following link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B177dcqEIgIaRXNJcGk1YXVDTkk/edit?usp=sharing
    Please can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Any update here?
    I checked the shared link again, and it is still empty. Could you please upload them again, or use

  • My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up.

    My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up. And when plugg it into the charger it starts up for a minute and shut down. but whithout charger dosnt do anything. Cant restore and it is not a battery problem.

    Sure sounds like faulty battery.
    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.
