Mail opens, but won't display mail, quit grayed out

I can open Mail, indicates messages in the various locations (inbox, junk, other folders), but displays none of the messages. Also, "Quit Mail" and other choices are grayed out. Ideas?

I remembered the "Force Quit" option, that worked. Disregard, no other response necessary. Thanks.

  • HT1277 Can't restart because Mail says it's open but won't let me quit.

    I have a MacBook Pro and have updated to Mavericks. I'm trying to update iTunes, but it isn't working because it says I need to quit Mail. I don't USE this application, but when I try to quit it, "Quit" is grayed out! How can I restart? I also won't be able to update anything which requires a restart until I can solve this problem. Please help! Thanks!

  • Finder Open But Won't Display

    Somehow managed to drag my Finder window for a specific folder onto the desktop (probably this crazy sensitive mouse) and now Finder won't display or close it (I can minimize it). I can only access Finder with browse and save commands, not by manually accessing the Finder icon on the dock or in the toolbar. I use Finder a lot but am on a new iMac and don't quite know my way around the updated OS yet.

    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart, or log out and in again.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

  • Mail opens but won't receive emails (Mail 2.0.5 on 10.4.3)

    I had recently upgraded to 10.4.3, and shortly after had to have my iBook (G3 800mhz) sent off to have it's logic board replaced. Now that i have it back, I've found when I open Mail, the program will open and the grey wheel symbol by the inbox spins and spins but never receives my emails from a POP account. I know it is not my ISP as I have a iMac G5 and can receive email on it and have never had a problem getting email on both of my computers from the same account. The G5 is still on 10.4.2
    Has anyone encountered this?

    More than likely. Apple hasn't specifically said there won't be another 4.x update, but I seriously doubt they'd bother with the impending release of iOS 5. The CDMA and GSM phones use different chipsets, which is why there is a disparity between the two right now. iOS 5 should unify the code base and get things back in sync.

  • Safari opens but won't display window

    I am having trouble with Safari opening and not displaying a window to browse in.
    I appreciate any feedack.

    I am having this problem as well, but it only occurs when launching Safari using the "Open at login" feature.
    Opening at login launches the app but not a new browser window. Standard launching of the app automatically opens a new browser window. Anyone got any ideas what's up?

  • Firefox and Thunderbird open but won't display properly after update

    I know that I'm supposed to check all the updates carefully, and do it frequently, but the other day I realized that I'd forgotten and there were about 150 new packages and I let them install without looking much. Not that I can find anything about anyone else having this problem.
    What happens:
    Both programs open without any errors. The title bars look normal, and the rough shape of the toolbars is there, but instead of recognizable words or shapes, there are black and white and sometimes grey, blue, or orange dots and bars. I'll try to get a screenshot soon.
    Information about my computer:
    ThinkPad T42, about six years old, can provide more info if needed
    window manager is Openbox
    Things which I have tried:
    updating system again
    restarting
    removing firefox and installing it again
    looking on archlinux.org for a package which is required by both firefox and thunderbird and was recently updated, finding glib2, downgrading it (didn't work and pacman said it broke some other updated things so I put it back)
    edit in case anyone finds this in search
    An update fixed it. I don't know how or why.

    Archive & Install should preserve all your user data... APPs, Music, Documents, etc.
    The only/best way to retrieve data from a dead from a bad HD, other than DiskWarrior being able to likely fix things nothing else can, is one of these...

  • Yahoo and AllMyFaves display incorrectly. Yahoo Mail opens, but cannot see massages or do anything.?

    Yahoo Mail opens, but no messages display.
    Regular Yahoo website display is completely messed up.
    AllMyFaves is my homepage. It displays in really small font, but no website logos or hyperlinks display.

    I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on  my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
    When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

  • I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

    I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

    If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • 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.

  • Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

    Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

    I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
    I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

  • Yosemite - MacBook Air 10.10 - "Notes" does not open - "Preview" opens, but does not display PDF's - "iCal" works in new strange ways, as if no one checked its operation - Everything worked very well until Upgrade to Yosemite ! - Happen to others?

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

  • Update available for firefox 3.6.12 but won't install;says connection timed out

    I've had firefox 3.6.12 for a couple of months. it says an upgrade is available, but won't install. says connection timed out. I tried it from IE 8 as well, same result. Took me a half our just to get to mozilla.com I installed IE 8 2 days ago, and since then, my monitor flashes the page when i'm in gmail. Also flash videos won't play worth a crap. I just installed K-lite Mega 6.6 to try to fix that.

    I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently.
    Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.

    Have tried everything I can find on internet and here on HP. None of the suggestions worked. Windows fixit for windows could not fixit. Any suggestions are appreciated. I can always use my disks and rebuild the computer. A last resort.

    Hi,
    It might be the graphic driver not compitable with the graphic device.  Has there been a change to the graphic driver?
    One thing you can try is to uninstall graphic driver and download the latest from Windows Update (if you haven't tried this).  Here are the possible steps:
    1.  Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager,  uninstall the graphic card driver by right clicking and select "uninstall".  Make sure the option "Delete the driver software for this device" is selected.
    2.  Reboot the system.
    3.  Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Update, click on "Optional updates" and find the driver for g210 and do the update.
    I work on behalf o HP.
