Mail not responding.  App is open but will not quit or respond in any other way.

My Mail app is not responding.  The Dock shows that Mail is open, but I cannot get the screen to pull up, quit or otherwise respond.  I tried to restart, but Mail stops that from happening.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ Force Quit...
then select the frozen application from the list and press return.

    App is open but will not show photos.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

    My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas?  If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,,  Thanks!

    For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
    For other Disk repair remedies see

    Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

  • Firefow will not open at all on one computer and on the other it opens but will not load. I just added a new wireless router, could this have anything to do with it, it had been working fine up until I installed it Tuesday night. Internet explorer won't

    I installed a new wireless router on Tues. (May4) up until that time I had no problems using Firefox. Now I cannot get it to open on one computer, and the other it will open but will not load. Wondering if it has anything to do with the router, my provider or our computers. Again, it had been working fine. I am also unable to open interent explorer now on either computer.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.4; AskTB5.6)

    Sounds like a problem with the router installation/configuration (likely) or a DOA router (very unlikely).
    Visit the forums for the router manufacturer (i.e., linksys, d-link, etc.) and ask for assistance there. There is probably a link to help listed in the router manual.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • CTRL F (Search) opens but will not find content on the active webpage.

    I often use the Search function (CTRL F) on webpages to search for content. Since upgrading to version 31.0 it no longer works. It opens but will not find anything.

    Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar doesn't have a tick.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • LaunchD Task Scheduler would Launch Automator Apps under Maverick but will not under Yosemite. Why Not?

    LaunchD Task Scheduler would Launch Automator Apps under Maverick but will not under Yosemite. Why Not?
    I have tried going under System Preferences-Security&Privacy-Privacy and adding my Automator generated .app but that does not work.
    Any suggestions?

    Better check the site of the maker of that application for further information:

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • TS1702 apps install ok but will not open ????

    Downloaded many apps on  3 network but although they install they will not open. OK when with o2

    The network the device is connected to has absolutely nothing to do with apps working or not.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Firefox opens but will not conduct any search or open a webpage

    I can open up firefox but the browser will not respond. I type a search or a page in firefox but it does nothing. If I open a new tab and do the same, it still does nothing; not even the initiation of trying to load a page.
    I cannot find anything on this on any help site and would really like to get back to using firebox.

    I have tried entering Mozilla Firefox in safe mode and attempted to load webpages but nothing happened as before. I refreshed firefox and that solved the problem and i was able to launch webpages... BUT. once i closed the browser and had to use it again the same problem came up and i was no longer able to open webpages again, thus requiring me to refresh yet again. of course this is no conducive to do each and every time as i will lose all saved information, bookmarks, etc.
    any further thoughts on what to attempt next would be greatly appreciated. I have used Firefox for more than 8 years and have never encountered this anomaly.

  • My mail will not let me send emails but will let me receive.. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Please help, tried everything to fix this

    This is an Ongoing problem with the built in Mac Mail program. Almost everyday there is at least one post, if not 10 posts, about the same thing on these forums.
    Most Mac Fan Boys will respond with "It must be your ISP has changed settings". But every other device you have, Phone, Pad, other computers, whether Mac or PC, have NO problems getting and sending mail with those exact same settings as used in Mac Mail and that Mac Mail worked a few hours ago or yesterday and now it doesn't.
    I suggest you switch to some other Mail program, Any other Mail program, and this type of problem will never happen again.
