Mail doesn't launch after update 10.5.7 - Bis

Same problem as
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2007512&tstart=0
but no solution explained there.
Here the problem:
After updating to 10.5.7 everything works fine - except Mail. The dock icon bounces one or two times and then stops. There is no error message, no beach ball and the blue dot below the icon doesn't appear either. Before the update Mail worked perfectly fine.
I run Terminal and typed
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
and got his error :
Unable to load nib file: MailViewer, exiting"
MagicPenguin 24 had exactly the same problem, and solved it ! see :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2007512&tstart=0
But he doesn't say how he solved it !!
I tried the combo update, repair permissions and remove caches. Didn't help...
Any ideas ?
Luc.

Luc,
Your test with the New User Account seems to indicate that Mail app is flawed, somehow. Please confirm that the Mail application is properly in the root level of the Applications folder, and has never been renamed. Use Get Info and report the version of the Mail app in the Applications folder -- should be Mail 3.6 (if Mail were open it would be Mail 3.6 (935/935.3) using About Mail).
Use Spotlight to see if there is more than one copy of the Mail app on your Mac?
Ultimately, I would expect downloading the Combo Update for 10.5.7 and reinstalling it over the existing OSX would fix any problem with Mail, but the above questions should be answered and reported first.

  • I4 push mail doesn't work after update

    My I4 push mail doesn't work after iOS 5 update. I have a mobileme acct and the settings show mail set up for push. Any thoughts?

    Hello amishnik,
    Thank you for your question regarding email on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
    Have you restarted the device and verified that the device is still connected to Wi-Fi? Are you able to browse the internet? If not, try this and let us know the results including any error messages.

  • Mail doesn't launch after 10.5.7 update

    Hello,
    After updating to 10.5.7 everything works fine - except Mail. The dock icon bounces one or two times and then stops. There is no error message, no beach ball and the blue dot below the icon doesn't appear either. Before the update Mail worked perfectly fine. No plug-ins were installed.
    I already tried using the combo update, repair permissions and remove caches. Any other ideas?

    I can't provide any help unfortunately. But I can chime in that my Mail starts to download mail, then stops after a couple of emails, spinning beachball, then quits unexpectedly. This is after the 10.5.7 update and repairing disk permissions. I also tried taking all accounts offline (so it wouldn't just crash immediately) and then doing a rebuild. The existing emails disappear and nothing seems to happen. Those emails reappear after quitting Mail and opening it again thankfully, but it makes no difference with the downloading emails crashing. I can also confirm that it isn't just a corrupt email since I've gone to webmail and deleted all new emails only to have it happen again when using Mail downloading brand new emails. I have a very simple email set up with one cable broadband email account and a few simple anti-spam rules. Worked perfectly prior to 10.5.7.

  • Lightroom 5.5 CC doesn't launch after Update

    Hello,
    I used Creative Cloud to download all the new 2014 updates of which LR 5 was an update.  All the downloads and installs reported being successful.  I opened PS CC 2014 and it launch and loaded just fine.  However, LR 5 launches the flash screen for about 2 secs, but doesn't launch.  I've try to go to Creative Cloud to download and reinstall, but it has LR 5 as installed and won't let me re-download and install.  I also tried going to the new creative cloud adobe site and tried downloading it there, but is comes up with a message that the link requires a launch program ... have no idea what the program is.  Totally baffled with this new Cloud set up!  Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Dennis

    I have the same issue. I don't even get a 2-second flash. My question might be slightly different though. I have the Creative Cloud with Photoshop CC and I owned the 5.4 version of Lightroom. I was surprised to see the Lightroom update available in Creative Cloud. While the Photoshop kept my old CC it removed my old Lightroom and installed the new version. I believe there is a problem with the Lightroom.exe file. So I removed the program, rebooted and re-installed. Same thing.
    Could this be because my Creative Cloud subscription has not been updated to include Lightroom?
    And yes it is a critical flaw.

  • Firefox doesn't launch after update!

    i updated firefox and now it will not launch. i tried to delete my profile from my pc but it just keeps saying recyling and doesn't end. neither does the uninstalling. nothing opens when i click on firefox

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Final Cut Pro, doesn't launch after updating to 5.1.4.

    Hello there,
    I tried opening an older project with the version 5.1. but it only gave me an GENERAL ERROR 41. Then I downloaded the update to 5.1.4. and the application doesn't event want to launch anymore!!
    What can I do, what else could've gone wrong. Before the update, I was able to open the program, but now not eve that! The logo jumps on the sidebar, the numbers start running on the opening screen, and then it turns it self off again. I already disconnected and reconnected my scratch disks, restarted the computer several time, etc...what else can I try!
    HELP!!

    Trash your preferences.
    You can use a third party tool to do this, such as the venerable <a href="http"//fcprescue.andersholck.com">FCP Rescue or the more feature rich Preferences Manager ... both are free.
    or you can do it yourself
    excepted below:
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    Remove the "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    Remove the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.

  • Mail won't launch after latest update

    I have tried the shift key and moving the Mail cache folder to the desktop with no luck.
    Mail will simply not launch.
    I suppose I will have to do an archive/install unless anybody here has any other ideas.

    Please, clarify. Is it that Mail doesn’t launch at all, or that it freezes upon start up? These are completely different problems, but your post gives the impression that you have the former and have tried things meant for the later...
    Also, checking what happens on another user account isn’t supposed to “help”, but rather is meant to determine whether the problem is system-wide or confined to a particular user account, which isn’t clear from your post either...
    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
    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, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update for PowerPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 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 and back up 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.

  • Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update.

    Lightroom CC 5 doesn't launch after 2014 update. Mac OSX 10.8.5. Tried the suggestion to log out of Adobe Cloud and log back in. Also rebooted computer. No luck. Photoshop CC 2014 seems to have installed perfectly. Can't install previous version either, can't even find it via Adobe Cloud. Tried re-downloading from Adobe web site but it sits there saying "downloading now" -- but nothing is downloading!

    Charr please see Not able to launch Lightroom after updating it to 5.5 from Creative Cloud for possible solutions to allow Lightroom to open.

  • HT4972 Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

    Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

    I think a few have.
    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
