Mail is completely frozen and hung

cant access mail...app loads, then freezes with spinning rainbow beach ball.
I trashed entire application, then did special download from OSX startup disk and reloaded app. Then updated to 10.5...
Problem still occurs.
This is not good.

In your System Preferences/Accounts, create another user. Log in as that user. When you try to open mail, you'll probably have to set it up again, but if it works, you'll know that something is buggy in your main account.

  • IPhoto library is completely frozen, and invisible

    Hello, everyone. My iPhoto library is completely frozen, and invisible, despite several force quits and restarts. Any ideas? It is a big library, some 13.5GB, but this has never been a problem until now. I even attempted to restore the library from Time Machine.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • My iphone 3g is completely frozen and wont turn on, help!

    My iphone is completely frozen and will not turn off.  It was working just fine then completely shut off and is now not responding.  I tried holding just the top button, then the top button and home button together... nothing!  HELP!

    Try a Hard Reset.
    - hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time
    - the phone will turn off and the apple logo will appear
    - once you see the apple logo release both buttons
    Hope this helps

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Mail is Completely Blank and Crashes - Mavericks on MBP Retina

    I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks. Everything was absolutely perfect -no errors at all. I came home tonight and when booting up my MBP I was prompted to setup new mail accounts - mail app was wiped clean.
    Tried to reinstate iCloud and it did not work. When the Mail app opens it is completely blank - no accounts listed. I have to force shutdown as it is also frozen. I must have indadvertantly deleted something from my Library (a required file). My library was visible in Finder - I'm just assuming.
    Where do I look for the cause to determine how to restore the mail application and its contents??
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • I have an ipad mini and it is completely frozen and has not synced for over 12 weeks  error message says Icloud Backup  This ipad hasn't been backed up in 15 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi

    I was given an ipad mini for Christmas.  It has twice frozen completely up.  It is also not backing up or syncing with my other devices.  The prompt on the screen states:
    icloud backup
    this ipad hasn't been backed up in 15 weeks.  Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.
    then there is an OK bar underneath
    anyone experience this and if so how do I reboot?
    Gigi

    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Completely frozen and unrecognized

    Ive tried about everything and nothing works. My ipod is frozen on the "do not disconnect" screen and if i want it to go off, i have to disconnect it and wait until the battery dies. I tired pushing all the stupid buttons and all that but it still doesnt work. Also, non of the USB ports on my computer recognize the ipod nor does itunes. Any suggestions to this would be greatly appreiated. Thank you.

    A little housekeeping first. Read this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    Even if no new USB Driver is available, reload the windows USB Driver following the directions at the end of the article.
    Continue to use a rear port and disconnect all other USB devices except your iPod, keyboard and mouse.
    If iTunes can now see your computer, Restore your iPod. You may have to force it into disk mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651

  • HT4199 I have tried all of these solutions and none of them seem to work! I am using my at home connection but when ever I go to enable the Wi-Fi connection it is like the button is completely frozen and won't let me switch it over to the on position.

    What can I do? I have tried all of the support suggestions that this website has given me and the Wi-Fi on my iPhone 4S is acting like it is frozen! It wont even let me turn the Wi-Fi on! How do I fix this?

    See if this helps

A message came up saying it was restored, but nothing happened.  Then a messege came up saying that itunes detects my ipod is in recovery mode, and it must be restored for itunes to read it. I did the process over again, and the same thing happend. i disconected the ipod, and now the screen is frozen with a check mark, saing ok to disconnect. i cant even get it to shut off or anything. can somebody please tell me what i should do. thank you

    i got the ipod to turn on. what i did was i left it on the charger all night and turned it on in the morning. it still started to freeze up so i just restored it and updated it i will let you know how it goes.

    i have a 2nd gen nano 4GB,
    my daughter has 1st gen nano 1GB.
    i've been trying to reset?, restore?, get her's to work.
    i charged it overnight on my iHome2go. (plugged in computer, i couldn't tell if it was charging.)
    i have two USB cords for both iPods, both cords work with my (2nd gen) nano. i have reviewed all? the different steps to get her's working. i don't believe it's a computer or an iTunes prob. 2nd gen nano is charging and syncing just fine.
    her screen had the apple on it before i did the reset steps. when i hit both buttons the apple disappeared. now there is nothing on the screen and no way to know if the battery is charged or if it's working at all. thanks for any help,

  • ITunes is saying I have to do a recovery on my iPhone 4, but doing so will restore factory settings and I'll lose photos, contacts, etc. The phone is completely frozen and I can't do anything else. Help!

    I plugged my phone into my laptop this morning and it started doing an update. I walked away from my desk, came back and had an error message and a prompt saying my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. But when I click "ok" to do that it says it will restore the factory settings and I'll lose all media, data and contacts. I DON'T want to do that--the whole reason I plugged my phone in this morning was to download some new photos, so I can't lose them!
    The phone isn't working...it's showing a usb connector pointing to an iTunes icon.
    Help!!!

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost all data on the phone...its gone. Your only option now is to restore the phone, either from backup or as a new device.
