Mail opens and then starts loading but never stops loading!

Mail will not stop loading!
I open mail and it looks fine. It brings up the ranbow loading cursor. I waited an hour and it did not stop! Finaly I used force quit (which said it was non respnsive). Can anyone help me?

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
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.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.

  • Software update and now Safari and Mail open and then close immediately

    We installed the latest 8-1 software updates on our G4 and Cube.
    Now Safari and Mail open and then immediately quit on the Cube - but no peroblems are experienced on the G4.
    Do I need to reinstall Tiger and start over?

    A couple of things to try before taking those drastic measures.
    1. Repair permissions, restart.
    2. Boot with the install disk, launch Disk Utility, and verify/repair the disk.
    3. Boot into safe mode and see if it works there.
    4. Reinstall the 10.4.7 COMBO update, restart, repair permissions, and restart.
    If those don't work, consider Archive & Install rather than an Erase & Install. See http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/ for details.

  • Mail opens and then closes it self immediately

    Please help, I open my mail and then almost immediately it shuts down. The dialog box says 'Mail unexpectedly quit'. I have tried restarting the computer but to no avail. I can't open my mail.
    There have been other problems recently - I opened my itunes and it had removed all my playlists from the source list and all the music in the library bar around 3 albums. But not from my Music Folder.
    Any ideas? Can you help?

    Hi Jasmine & welcome to the forums!
    Repeated crashes may cause Mail to discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one...
    Mail seems to have lost account information...

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • Please someone help. When I tap Purchased on the ipad, it won't open to show me my purchases. It just says loading, but never does!

    Please help! When I tap Purchased on my ipad, it won't open to show me the purchased apps. It says 'Loading' but never does. I use the apps to help my daughter who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you in advance 

    Hi, I was having the same problem on my new Mini.  It would load fine on my iP3 and my phone but not my mini.  My two daughters both have iPads linked to my iTunes account.  They download a bunch of apps and I suspected this had something to do with it.
    After a few hours, I found how to hide the purchased apps in iTunes (go to Store, App Store (up the top) then the Apps tab.  Hover the mouse until you get an X then click on it.  It doesn't delete it from your library, just stops it showing up on your iPad.  I did this, launched Purchased on my iPad mini and boom they all came up.  I just hid those I don't use/want any more, and some of the older ones my kids have purchased.  Cut the number down from nearly 500 to 280 and it loads like a charm now.

  • My iTunes won't even load anymore, when I click the icon, it looks like it will open and then it doesn't. Please Help!

    iTunes will not open at all. It looks like it will and then it doesn't (the windows loading symbol appears and then it disappears). I even tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and installing it, nothing works! Please Help!

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    3.  If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime.  START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Spry Accordion - Tabs open and then close after page loads

    I am using a Spry Accordion menu driven from a database.
    The menu opens up during the page load and then closes.
    I'm using SpryAccordion.js 1.6.1
    And to open a preset tab, I'm using:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",{useFixedPanelHeights:false, enableAnimation: false, defaultPanel: 0 });
    //-->
      </script>
    But, all of the tabs open and then close on page load.
    My page:   http://www.texashotjobs.us/00C01.aspx
    Any fix for this??
    Thanks, Ron

    Well to both thanks.  Actually I wasn't disappointed as I had a two part question...
    I tested the 1.6 JS and remembered that I had to modify the 1.4 so that tabs actually would link.  So I reverted back to 1.4.
    So, going to 1.6 fixed the open panel on load but "unfixed" the panel tab from linking.....
    So changing this in the 1.6 js fixed the link issue as well:
    Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype.onPanelTabClick = function(e, panel)
        if (panel != this.currentPanel)
            this.openPanel(panel);
        else
            this.closePanel();
        if (this.enableKeyboardNavigation)
            this.focus();
    //    if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
    //    else e.returnValue = false;
    //    if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
    //    else e.cancelBubble = true;
    I t appears everything is working........
    Thanks, Ron Gaddis

  • I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424) today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but they try to open and then a big ! mark appears

    I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2. (424).   Today a few photos will not open.  I can see them as thumbnails but when I  try to open them they start to open and then a big ! mark appears.  I have not had this problem before.  Can you help

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.

  • I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! Please help!

    Question
    I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! It's almost as if something is blocking it ffrom completing the process. Please help

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

    Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
    This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
    Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
    Any clue?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
