Mail shows "Welcome to Mail" splash screen every time it's started

Hi all,
I couldn't find anything in my admittedly brief search for this issue, so here it is.
I was using Mail extensively on my iMac and MBA prior to the Mavericks update. I have it set to start up hidden when I log in. It worked exactly as I expected.
Now, whenever I start up Mail on Mavericks, either on the iMac or MBA, it gives me the "Welcome to Mail" splash screen, saying it needs to download messages before I can use new features, or something to that effect. If I hit continue, then it just drops me into the app and all is well.
This kind of breaks how I had it set up (start hidden on log in) because I inevitably forget to check it before I start working, so I won't be getting emails until I actually *look* at the app and hit continue, if I *ever* remember.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

[UPDATE]
Removing the ~/Library/Mail/ folder and the .plist for Mail in the ~/Library/Preferences folder seems to have fixed the problem.

Itunes 11 welcome screen every time I open the program.

OS Win8
very annoying
help?

This is what worked for me!!!!!
Close iTunes.
With Windows Explorer go to View in the top menu and allow Hidden Files.
Navigate to:
C:\Users\[which ever user is you]\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete all files in this directory.
Start iTunes and see the Welcome Screen for hopefully the last time!
I am not an expert. This was a stab in the dark based on the Mac ByHosts solution and it just happened to work for me. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Good Luck!

You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

My Mail 5.3 locks up upon launch every time.

The mail app on my iMac locked up every time I launch it. Messages are never loaded. Using 10.7.5. Never had any issues before. Any thoughts?

Try this maintenance procedure for keynote which has solved many issues.
Every stage must be completed in performed in the following order:
1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall all the iWork applications; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
go to; Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility > First Aid > Repair Disc Permissions
when this is completed restart the Mac normally
6
Reinstall iWork or Keynote as appropriate using the original discs or logging into the Mac App Store and installing from there
Post back on your results.

In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

Those are all fine
Here is how to see RAM overloaded…
Reboot to see the system in it's default state.
Open TextEdit for the sake of it
Open Activity Monitor & Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the Memory tab
In Terminal enter the following command
memory_pressure -l critical
# note that is a lowercase L
RAM usage will climb, compression will begin the VM will become way more than the system has installed.
Eventually the system will start swapping (look for RED) - Watch the 'memory pressure' & 'Swap used' as this happens.
Try switching to TextEdit - the system is still coping !
Switch back to Terminal & hit ctrl+c to stop the process.
Watch the VM & memory pressure return to normal levels.
This OS kicks 4ss !
Your problems may lie elsewhere

I have tried EVERY suggestion Adobe has made and no matter what, I get the black "Adobe Reader Installer" screen EVERY TIME!! Any suggestions to help me overcome this problem would be appreciated. BTW: I have a Windows 7 Home OS. I prefer FireFox. I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader using all the major browsers, however it does NOT matter, I am NOT able to actually install Adobe Reader, every time all I get is the black pop-up "Adobe Reader Installer" screen!!!

PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!

"Fatal Exception" appears on my old Visor screen every time I try to hotsync or access addresses

I have downloaded and installed updated software and installed new batteries. The Calculator works, but "Fatal Exception" appears on my old Visor screen every time I try to hotsync or access addresses.

Glad to try and help.
If after you perform a Hard Reset the unit still immediately reports a "Fatal Exception", then you have a hardware failure.

Why my mac air is showing recovery files folder in trash every time

Hi
my mac air is showing recoveryfiles folder in trash every time i restart/start my computer and another problem is all the browsers are showing me mac keeper advertisement prominently.. how to get rid of thiese problems? pl. help.

The recovered files are due to an application that fails to clean up its temporary files before exiting. Microsoft products are notorious for this.
Quit Safari. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the ad page from reloading automatically. Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server.

RAID 1 disks resync every time computer is starting

Hi All,
My PC is running windows 8.1 ( i3 intel processor,
4GB RAM ).
I have got on this machine two RAID 1 mirrored volumes,
one for Operating System (boot volume) and a second one for data.
Mirroring is software controlled and it has been made using native win8 disk management tools.
Both mirrored volumes resync quite every time computer is starting.
Even if I have just finished to resync mirrors and resynching
completed well (100 %), next time I boot my PC resynch starts again, often but not always on both couples of disks.
Resynching lasts several hours and it is not possible to have it running every day on a home PC, which is used for not more than one-two hours a day.
My PC is very slow and also I often see a black screen for several seconds at boot and at every change of account.
Is it normal to have Resynching running quite every day on windows 8 system ?
May it be Resynching the reason for black screen I often experiment at boot?
Thanks for your help

Hi Andy, All
As soon as I
completed a new
resynching, I tried to shutdown (by software) and restart the machine a couple of minutes later,
without switching off the power supply. The result was that both mirrors were resynching another time.
Even if I was precise to wait for complete shutdown to restart the PC, I have found in the event log the following
error:
Origine:       Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Category: (63)
Level:       Critical
Description:
Riavvio del sistema senza un regolare arresto. Questo errore può essere causato da un'interruzione, un arresto anomalo o un'interruzione dell'alimentazione imprevista del
sistema.
(Translation:
Reboot without regular stop. This error may be caused by anomalous power interruption …)
I have found tens of events like this in the last monthes.
I have also found the following error in the eventlog:
Origin:       Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Boot
Category: None
Level:       Error
Description:
Avvio rapido di Windows non riuscito con stato di errore 0xC00000D4
(Fast boot not successful with error 0xC00000D4 ).
This error also occurred multiple times.
Thanks again for your help

White keyboard needs to toggle power every time computer is started

I need to toggle power every time computer is started. OSX doesn't 'see' the keyboard when restarting or starting.
ALSO
When running XP in bootcamp, I can get XP to 'see' the keyboard, but I can't get it to work at all.
Please help.

Hello tak:
I am assuming your Bluetooth module is built-in.
There is no software setting to address what you describe. The KB may have a problem. However...
Instead of switching the device on and off, try tapping a key or two.
Try installing new batteries and/or removing and reinstalling them.
I do not run Windows (and never plan to do so) so I have no feedback on the XP issue.
