Mail does not open after IPhoto compose.

I want to email photos from IPhoto 7.1.3
I hit the email button, make the appropiate choices, hit the compose button.
The application prepares the photos for email and then... nothing.
The mail application (3.2) does not open on a new message page with photos attached.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If resetting the email preferences to Mail try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • HT1338 Mail does not open after software update?

    My MacBook just updated with OSX 10.6.8 buildK549.  Now my Mail does not open. I get a message that the mail version 4.5  1084/1065 is not compatible with the OSX.  There was a new mail icon in the apps file but it did not open. Any suggestions?
    How do I reinsatll Mail?
    Thanks

    It's giving you that message because the update changed Mail from version 4.5 to 4.6 and it's seeing the 4.5. The part of the update that was meant for Mail failed because it couldn't find Mail where it was looking for it.

  • Mail does not open after upgrade

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to 10.7.1 and immediately tried to use everything. All seems fine except Apple Mail does not open.
    Once launched i get a window that says you have to upgrade exsiting mail, once i press continue it says hold on may take a few minutes and the box vanishes not to ever appear again.
    Have tried this a few times now without any luck of opening my Mail
    Thanx in advance for the help.
    Zeus

    ok so it seems like this issue just got sorted, i managed to open the App and most of my mail has loaded.
    Just some of the folders containing emails with rules has not been upgraded, hence i have lost a lot of the emails that were offline.

    Mail now has ffg msg - YOU CANT USE THIS VERSION OF MAIL WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X
    You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in
    It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
    HAVE MAC  VERSION 10.6.8

    I was posting a different work-around until Apple came out with the official article:
    Open a Finder window and "Find" like the screenshot: By filename for Mail.app
    Track down and discard any old versions of Mail you find. They don't work anyway.
    Then do these two steps:
    * Run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo 1.1.http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    * Run the Security update.http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586

    Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

    Same thing is happening to me but I am using a card reader. Can't get any explanation besides checking the preferences. I can import by downloading to desktop then importing to iphoto but never had to do that before.

  • Grey Window - Does not open after Running a Form

    Hello!
    I have the following problem:
    I just installed Oracle 9i-Developer Suite.
    After installing it, I wanted to run a form (also made in Forms 9i).
    So, I selected one form , connected to the database and Run it.
    The first time, a dialog appeared informing me i need to instal Jinitiator1.3.1.9.
    So, I installed JInitiator and Run the form again.
    The result is that it does not open. It seems to be blocked.A grey window apppears and that is all. After some minutes (about 30 minutes after), 2 error messages appear:
    1.FRM-92101 : A Failure has occured on the Server. you will need to reestablish your session.
    2.FRM-92050 : Failed to connect to the Server. /forms 90/190servlet -1
    Please tell me what to do next to run this form (or any other form).
    If an aplication is runned, and it uses Jinitiator 1.3.1.13 everything seems to be ok.

    If you are getting the applet background (usually gray or tan colored), it means the http listener (oc4j) is likely already running. This is confirmed by the request to install jinitiator. If the listener was not running, neither of these events would occur.
    Before going to far, I have to ask.... do you know how old 9i is? Also, "9i" could possibly be one of two versions 9iR1 = Forms 6.0.8 and 9iR2 = Forms 9.0.2. Both of these versions were desupported long ago. This is important to know for several reasons.
    1. Even if you actually have a valid support contract with Oracle, they will not be able to offer much assistance as Support is not able to report new bugs against these versions and in some cases, can no longer refer you to documentation as some of it has already been obsoleted.
    2. Because these versions are so old, they will not likely run on newer operating systems. For example if you are using Vista, Win7, Win2008, etc, Jinitiator will not run on these platforms. Since neither of these Forms versions was certified for use with any of the JRE versions that were supported on these newer operating systems, the only solution that makes sense would be to upgrade the Forms version.
    Apparently, you partially see the problem as you indicated that it works when using JInit 1.3.1.13. Even this version is very old. In general, Jinitiator is no longer supported either, but the latest and last version is 1.3.1.30. So you can see that the latest version is many releases newer than .13. If you are not using one of the platforms I mentioned above, you may have more luck with a newer jinit version. You can download 1.3.1.30 from MyOracleSupport using Patch ID 7410076. If you do not have access to MOS, you may be temporarily out of luck as these files are currently not available on OTN although may return once the recent migration has been completed.
    Regarding the errors you noted:
    FRM-92101 generally indicates that the runtime (ifweb90.exe) was not able to start or crashed after it was started.
    FRM-92050 generally means there was a problem with the url or the related session ID or header info. This can occur if your machine is not properly configured in DNS, as well as many other possible causes. Assuming you are using the Forms Builder to run your forms, try changing the url from the host name to "localhost". In other words:
    http://localhost:<port number>/forms90/f90servlet
    Regardless, upgrading will be you first best action.

  • Mini Bridge does not open after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

    I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2.  Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
    If Bridge is not already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge...  or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good!  I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
    If Bridge is already open,
         - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
         - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
         - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
         - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
    My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all.  I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
    I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times.  The results are the same each time.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it?  I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.
    Thanks greatly,
    Mark.  

    Hi Peter,
    Just to bring you up to speed on what has happened to this issue, none of the suggestions that I received in the Bridge forum helped.  However, after restoring my C: drive back to prior to my updating attempts, I was able to successfully upgrade InDesign in Safe Mode (this is a Windows startup mode that blocks non-Microsoft applications from starting up on reboot).  Mini Bridge is now working correctly.
    Thank you again for your assistance.

  • Shutter does not open after picture is taken

    I recently noticed my 1.1.4 Iphone camera does not work anymore. The problem is I can open the camera fine, but when I take a photo, it makes the shutter sound however when the shutter closes, it does not open again. After waiting about 30 min I have to hit the home button. No pictures taken.

    One thing that might help is to reset and/or restore the iphone.
    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox does not open after first try

    When i click on firefox, it does not open. After Several times trying, it might open. Sometimes I have to click open new tabs to open this. Why is this happening?

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click and Unpin the icon from the taskbar and then Pin it back from the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory], usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\.
    Another possible reason could be that the installed security software is delaying the start (McAfee??). You can try to fully trust Firefox and its related processes/files in the different McAfee configuration areas (e.g. process/sub process control, file modification, HIPS etc.). You can also try to disconnect the internet connection, temporarily disable McAfee, restart the computer and check.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements does not open after installation

    Hello,
    I have written before last week. I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
    I had a trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 and with the code I could access the full version.
    However Premiere Elements did not open after installation. I did not had a trial version so I first downloaded the full program. I went through the whole installation process and everything seemed ok, no error messages. But when I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements after restarting the computer it did not open at all. Nothing happened.
    I have de-installed and re-installed the program for a couple of times over and over again but with not result. Also tried to download the trial version first and also this didn't work. I checked my Quicktime and updated to the latest version.
    I use a Windows laptop: Asus Intel Core i5-2430M, 2,4 GHz
    I hope you can help me out!
    Thanks!
    Inge
