Mail Crashes and shuts down whenever downloading e-mail - Please Help!

Hallo, I´ve got a serious Problem / Bug:
Whenever I want to receive mails, Mail app crashes and quits.
I am using Leopard 10.5.1
I am able to compose and send mail, but not receive any.
I found a post about mail.app crashing, which describes a situation when mail quits, because of a smart mailbox referring to an adressbook smart group: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1296368
I´ve had indeed a smart mailbox referring to a smart adressbook group. And I´ve had a rule referring to a smart group. But after deleting them, the problem persists! The only thing that has changed, is that mail now seems to crash a couple of seconds later. That means, now the crash occurs after downloading about 4 e-mails. Before that the crash regularly occured while downloading the first e-mail. Well its a small improvement, but a crash is a crash.
I really need help on this! Maybe there is an apple engineer, who can figure this out! Thank you much!

another hint: mail app also crashes when clicking on an original apple rss- feed-link within mail. Hallo? Whats that? I am not a beta tester!

    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

    The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
    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.
    Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. 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 your recent/open 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. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

    BTW, I got another issue, hope can help me, I'm updating my OS X maverick to new one 10.9.2, while updating I need to restart my laptop to update, however i got this error message, "Install Failed! OS X could not be installed on your computer. The installer encounter an error that caused the installation fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Click Restart to restart your computerand try installing again." I did that so many times, unfortunately, nothing happens. This is the 1st time Ive ever encounter that issue while updating my Mac. Now, i cannot even go to my main menu, coz everytime I turn on my laptop it's shows the updating process and go back to failed installation. Thanks.

  • Hi have been using the classic for 4 years, of late whenever i load more than 4000 songs the ipod crashes and shuts down. till 3800 songs there seems to be no problem. do ipods have a finite life?

    the classic ipod has crashed 4 times in the last 2 months. till i load 3800 to 3900 songs there seems to be no problem. but after that it just crashes and instructs me to restore to factory settings. just want to know if ipods have a finite life and need changing after this. i need urgent help at least if that is true i can save the trouble of loading songs every other week
    thanks and regards

    Yep, iPod classic has life of about 2 years before the hardisk, starts to suffer from arthritis.
    Here is a excellent post on iPod  diskdiagnostic by regular tt2.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2362776?start=0&tstart=0
    You can also look into getting the iPod hardisk replaced by SSD/Compact Flash,  just google "iPod SSD replacement" or you can search in youtube, on how to do it yourself, if you got steady hands and hawkeye.
    SSD Capacity is expensive,
    Have a nice day!

  • I have Photoshop CS5. It Keeps crashing and shutting down my computer, a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8.

    Photoshop CS5 shuts down my computer whenever I use the marquis tools or eraser, or copy and drag something.

    I just disabled open GL and went back to work on the thing that has been behind the latest crash - and it did not crash this time. So, I am guardedly hopeful, but might be back. Regardless, thank you for your advice.

  • OSX Yosemite lightroom crashes and shuts down computer

    I have lightroom 5 on both a 2012 MacBook Pro laptop and very new iMac.  Since upgrading to Yosemite, each of my laptop and iMac have crashed now when using Lightroom.  When I say crash, both computers have both suddenly shut down and restarted.  I've never had either computer crash like this before.  On each occasion, I was not doing anything in particular in Lightroom, just browsing through photos in the catalog (thought I admit it is a very large catalog of around 30,000 images. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or know what might be causing it?

    Getting there bit by bit.
    Don't do things not asked for.... Disk Utility does not have anything to do with this and cannot help.
    Now Lightroom does not contain any image files just links to where you/Lightroom has had the OS copy or move them too. iPhoto buries them as I mentioned but Lightroom doesn't as you know. They are in your Pictures folder.
    I asked if they are all just in the Pictures Folder or in another folder inside of Pictures???
    Like this
    See somewhere the OS has changed the read/write permissions of a folder that Lightroom is using. We need to track down which one.
    This is done by selecting a folder and using cmd-i and checking the Permissions like this:
    The bit at the bottom is what we are looking at.
    Now are you files inside Pictures or inside another folder??

  • Photoshop CS4 crashes and shuts down without warning.

    I have installed the new CS4 upgrade, and I have disabled the GPU. I have just upgraded to 2MB of RAM. However, PSD CS4 will suddenly shut down without warning at unpredictable times - yesterday it happened when I zoomed in past 200% - today it happened when I hit Save For Web. Really annoying. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Look in the Photoshop forum. This is for Premiere Pro.

  • Flash shuts down after start up screen - please help

    I had a strange problem develop yesterday. Whenever I start
    Flash 8 the start up screen shows for a moment, then disappears and
    the program shuts down and never starts. I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot,
    HijackThis and even did a file search by date to see if anything
    appeared on my computer that would cause this but I found nothing.
    I have Flash MX installed as well and it was doing the same thing
    when I tried that. I repair/installed Flash 8 - didn't work, then
    uninstalled Flash 8 and installed again and it's still doing the
    same thing. I suppose I could uninstall MX too and try again but I
    suspect that's not the problem. Any thoughts?

    Your capacitors are leaking, this is a known issue with Rev A G5 iMacs, and they should be replaced, along with the logic board. Take it in and if t stays up long enough, try to clone it to an external drive to save your data. I use SuperDuper! to do this.

  • When running on battery power, my MBP shuts down after 30 mins..please help

    this has been happening for the last two weeks; whenever i run my MBP on battery, it goes blank/shuts down after about 30 mins...would start back on, but shut down even before the login screen comes! i checked the battery display under the laptop-it showed 3 green lights!! TIA!! i bought my MBP off the apple website last september!

    With your symptoms, most likely, yes. If you have a 17" MBP, you are out of spec (based on Apple's specification of 80% health for 300 cycles). If you have a 15" MBP, you're in spec (84% health), but your symptoms indicate a problem (i.e. a defective battery). So, contact AppleCare!
    You can't calibrate now. I asked because if a battery goes too long (150-220 cycles) without calibration, the "sudden loss of power" can result.
    Hope this helps...
    Graham, that's why I inquired about calibration, but with the OP's cycle count, that's not the issue. Also, FYI the "battery condition" information is part of System Profiler with Leopard; the OP lists Tiger, and did post all the information available under Tiger.

  • My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

    My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet.  We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset."  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.
