Mail Opens, But Doesn't Go Any Further

I open the Mail application. It opens, but right when it does, it keeps crashing and it always says that the "Application failed." So, I can't see any of my mail unless I use .Mac Mail online, which I don't want to do.
Can someone please help me?

Does Mail crash immediately upon start up or when it starts to download messages?
If the former, the cause could be a troublesome message that Mail tries to load every time you open it. Try launching Mail holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This should prevent Mail from trying to select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
If Mail crashes when it starts to download new mail, try the following to check whether the junk filter could have a bearing on it and post back with your observations:
1. Either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down your Internet connection and open Mail afterwards.
2. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
3. Go online again.

  • Firefox opens but doesn't load any pages

    Firefox will open but doesn't respond to any page directions. It's been removed a reintalled, data histories cleared, yet still nothing. IE works fine, so it's not a connection problem. The error consul is reporting chrome manifests as malfunctioning, but I don't know what this means. The program itself has not crashed.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    CaBU,
    Has it ever worked? If so, when did this start?
    Hold the Shift key down, while you click on the Mail Icon to launch Mail. This will stop Mail from trying to open any certain mailbox, and if the last one you were viewing has a problem, may let us get to the point of a solution.
    More info, please, including whether you have a POP, IMAP or .mac account?

  • Firefox opens but doesn't load any page after clean installation

    I uninstalled firefox (incl. preferences and profiles) and installed ff 3.6.13. At first launch and starting up, the ff icon appears in the dock but then the icon is replaced by another ff icon in a kind of never seen icon-replacement-animation in the dock. After that the three dialogs for import etc. appear, after that the icon-replacement-animation takes place in the dock again and then a browser window with two tabs is displayed but neither
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.13/firstrun/
    nor
    http://en-US.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
    is loaded, just white pages without any error message. Trying to load any other page does the same, just a blank page.
    I also started in safe mode and disabled and reset everything but nothing helps.
    What's wrong?

  • TS1367 my mac book air opens to the password but won't go any further it stop right there!  What soulh I do?  I am sure I have the right pass word!

    My Mac book air opens to m the password but won't go any further,  it stop right there!  what should i do?  I am sure i have the right password

    Here's an old fix for the problem. Don't know it applies now:
    Clearing Caches to Fix Login Problem
    You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
    Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
    Start up in Single-user Mode. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Enter the following commands after the prompt:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press RETURN. Wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    cd /System/Library
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    reboot
    Press RETURN after each command.
    This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
    If it isn't applicable in your version of OS X, then I suggest:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following
    procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

    Thanks planb77 but i am swiping the now playing screen tothe right and it doesn't go any further, i still can't get the repeat arrows up, any other suggestions?

    Maybe it would help to look at the iPod's User Guide. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

  • My Contacts program opens but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be off above the top right hand corner).

    My Contacts program appears to open, but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be sitting just above the top right hand corner). any suggestions on how to get it back?

    Launch Contacts, then on the "Window" menu select "Zoom". That should maximise the window and give you access to the bottom-right corner where you can resize it, and the bar at the top which you can drag around.

  • Firefox 'opens' but doesn't/won't open an actual browser window?

    Firefox Beta 4 has crashed out on me several times, but since the most recent crash Firefox will 'open,' but doesn't actually open a new browser window. Even if I go to the menu and manually select "new window" it doesn't do so. Nor can I submit comments under the "Firefox Makes Me Happy/Sad because..." tabs. It's simply not opening new windows. When I go to the force-quit window, it doesn't show up as hanging, however. Two close outs of Firefox, and two restarts of the computer have not resolved the issue.
    Most recent attempt to generate a new browser window generated the following error codes:
    Error: no element found

  • I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

    I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

    Which iBook do you have?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

  • I wa told open office is your product. I try to open a document, it appears as if its going to open but doesn't. How do i get it to open?

    I have some open office documents stored in a backup folder. Everytime I try to open one, it will appear as if it's going to open but doesn't. How can I open this document. It's originally a wps file

    Also, there is a group that left OpenOffice when Apache acquired OpenOffice and formed a new group and created a new product called LibreOffice. You will need to determine which you have installed and/or if the files are interchangeable/readable between OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
