Mail displays locks up when trying to forward or reply messages.

Hey all - This just started happening out of the blue. Whenever I select a meaage to forward or replay to, Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3) become unresponsive and the rainbow pin wheel appears. I then have to force application to quit. Sending, receiving, opening messages, etc. all ssem to work fine though. I even placed both Library caches in the trash in an attenpt to fix the problem, but this lock up keeps happening. Any ideas/help? Thanks.

Hello.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Drafts settings?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations (Parallels in particular, if you have that installed) and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
The first release of Safari 3 Beta was known to cause this problem in Mail as well, so be sure you either don’t have that installed or install the latest version.

    Hello. When trying to forward a multiple page PDF document, only the first page appears. Does anyone know how to fix this. TY

    Are you sure?   I believe the mail program only previews the first page for you, but sends the whole attachment.  Try opening the attachment (e.g., select and hit spacebar for a preview of the whole thing, or by double-clicking it, or control-clicking then "Open...")  You should see the whole document.

  • Mail.app locks up when opening a mail with an attachment

    Hopefully someone has run into this before. Our Mac users connect to exchange using IMAP. However, the Intel based users have their mail app lock up when they receive an email with an attachment. So for I havn't been able to find any info on the web, and the non-specific instructions I've found for general maintenance of mail.app have not lead to a resolution either.
    So far I've definitely narrowed it down to the Intel based users. Which is a problem because the non-intel users will be switching fairly soon. The general maintenance items I have tried include indexing the mail envelope, I gave one a reboot, but since it did not fix the problem did not try to restart the rest.
    The mail.app version varies but is occurring in but most (working and non) are version 2.1.3, one is 2.1.1.

    Ok, so since posting the original question I still have no resolution. Over the weekend I have applied all updates and am ruling out the server. Have setup exchange for POP3 access and setup a workstation to pop the mail over but it still hangs up mail.app. I have also attempted setting the client up for "exchange mode".
    All of our intel based systems freeze when a message with an attachment is opened. The file types range from pdf (created with both acrobat and cutepdf) to illustrator documents.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...

  • My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?, My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?

    My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
    Thank you

    Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do 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.

  • Photoshop CS3 locks up when trying to open an EPS file

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with CS3 locking up when trying to open an EPS file. The files were created in Quark 4.0. Not sure if it has anything to do with my new computer, which has Microsoft XP 64 bit. There's another computer in my office which has CS4 that can open these files. Please help..!! Thank you.

    Try installing a PostScript printer on your XP64 system. For some reason this often seems to fix issues with EPS handling...

  • ICloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail.  Anyone experiencing this and what is apple doing about this?

    I like many have been experiencing mail problems since I migrated to iCloud.  Was working fine for a bit, then I now either get crashes or a revolving beachball when I attempt to type an email address.  Have tried quitting and rebooting...you name it.  What is Apple saying or doing to fix the problem.  Been like this all weekend.

    iCloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail. 
    That doesn't necessarily mean the mail is down in iCloud.
    You can always check iCloud system status here.
    If you are using Safari to access iCloud.com, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Now go the menu bar again and click Safari / Reset Safari.
    Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to iCloud.com
    Try Mail.

  • Itunes locks up when trying to import CD

    My itunes software locks up when trying to import a CD. Specifically, it will import 1 full CD then lock up when trying to access the artwork. I went into "properties" and stopped the software from looking for artwork, rebooted the machine and was able to import 1 CD, then it would not recognize the next one. I tried 3 different CD's and none of them worked. I am running the most recent version of itunes. Any thoughts?

    Help! I have the same problem! I am running Windows XP SP3 and Itunes 8.0.2.20. I imported about a dozen cd's and then the imports started locking up the whole system. I had to power the pc off to get things running again. I have two cd drives installed and both fail. I tried disconnecting the network cable, and it still locked up. Any ideas??

  • After Effects CS6 locks up when trying to use Preferences sub-menu

    I have an issue with AE "freezing" or locking-up when trying to use any of the sub-menu items under preferences. I have to shut down with task manager to regain control. I have a wintel PC with 8 gig of RAM and 2 TB of disk and a quad-core, don't think any of those are an issue. AE is the only problem child in this entire suite. Any help/guidance is deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
    Sincerely,

    That doesn't meet the system requirements and I think it's safe to say thatr this is the reason for the crash - the program is trying to draw the preferences panel in an invalid area since it cannot deal with the too small screen resolution properly. Increase the screen res and everything will probably work.

  • I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.

    I keep getting internet explorer cannot display web page when trying to download itunes. This only shows on half the page where the download link would be. My internet connection is fine.  Any idea what the problem may be?

    You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

  • ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

    iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
    Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.
    Paul

    Duncan,
    I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
    However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
    There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
    The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
    In previous months the downloads worked fine.
    Thanks for your assistance

  • When trying to Forward, the addresses column does not appear

    When trying to 'forward' a message, the 'addressees' column does not appear and I cannot select recipients. This suddenly happened a short time ago and I can't figue out why.

    When you have a Write window open you toggle the Contact Sidebar on and off with the F9 key.

  • After the latest OS update, Safari locks up when trying to flip back to the previous page

    After the latest OS update, Safari locks up when trying to flip back to the previous page using the two finger sweep.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

    When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?

    We need a bit more information to help.
    Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer?  If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer?  That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing.  If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
