Mail update for Mavericks appears stuck. What is best next step?

Since trying the upgrade tonight, I'm getting the "Mail Upgrading. This may take a few minutes" If I get my cursor over that window I get the beachball. Other programs are responding, but the progress bar has been in exactly the same place (about 1/3 of the way) for 2 hours. I tried force quitting, force quitting through Activity Monitor. I even restarted...and there it is. If the bar had progressed a mm or two I would be more hopeful that it will self-resolve.
I have to say this who Mail fiasco with Mavericks has been frustrating. I was excited to see the Mail update saying that addressed the gmail problems...not so much now. Any one else with this? Advice appreciated.

You could try those steps, it helped me with many Mail problems:
Shut down Mail
In Finder, go to "~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/" (just do CMD+Shift+G and paste the path)
Move all "Enevelope" files to another place (like desktop)
Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes
If this did work out, you can trash the Envelope Files you moved earlier.
Note: let it run, even if a beachball appears. Depending on how many mails you have, it could take some time. If it does not work and you're on a status quo you could try it the hard way:
You will have to reconfigure your accounts and import you old messages:
Quit Mail
Go to the User Library (CMD+Shift+G and paste following path: ~/Library/)
Move, dont copy, the "Mail" folder to another place (like your desktop)
Open Mail. It will act as if no account is configured.
Configure all your accounts
Check if everything is working fine (in- and outgoing messages)
If everything is ok, go to "File"->"Import Mailboxes" (i think it spells like this in english)
In the appearing window, choose "Apple Mail" and click next
Now choose the Mail folder you relocated earlier
Let Mail import all the Messages
In Mail there will be an new Mailfolder "Import" or "Imported Mailboxes". If you browse it, you should find all your old messages.
Just reorder them and put them into the right place.
Hope this helps...

HT5361 Mail update for Mavericks 1.0 is repeatedly not installing.

I have tried to install the latest Mail update for Mavericks. The update will not install for me. It appears to install, but never does. Any solution?

How do you know it isn't installing? For reasons known only to Apple, the version of Mail doesn't change to 7.1 as an update normally does.

Mail Update for Mavericks will not install

Downloaded the Mail update for Mavericks. When I run the installer, it says my volume does not meet the requirments for this update.
Thoughts?

Yes. The Mail Update requires 13A603 to install.

HT6030 'Mail Update for Mavericks' destroyed my archived mail tree

Hello,
I bought my MacBook 15' Retina last week and imported my Mail archive into my new Mac. The 'Mail Update for Mavericks' destroyed completely my archived mail tree. I need to remove all of it and import this again. A really poor update!!!
Anyone else experiencing the same behavior?
Thanks
Leon

Who is your e-mail provider and is the account IMAP or POP?

The first time I connected my new My Passport portable hard drive to my Mac, the message asking if I want to use the drive to back up with Time Machine did not appear. What is the next step?

The first time I connected my new My Passport portable hard drive to my MacBook Pro, the message asking if I want to use the drive to back up with Time Machine did not appear. I would like to set it up to do this. What would my next step be?

Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Open Time Machine preferences to select this drive for use as the backup drive. Turn on Time Machine.

HT6030 I cannot install the Mail Update for Mavericks.

I download the file. I invoke the .dmg file. I am told to follow the directions. I approve the licence. I am then shown three disks. My drive containing OS X, my external drive dedicated to Time Machine, and a disk, which I don't have, claiming to contain the upgrade. All three are listed with exclamation marks stating they do not meet the upgrade criteria. What criteria am I missing? I am running 10.9.1
The reason I am trying to upgrade is because I have 19000+ email messages listed in my inbox. I use the inbox as a storage medium for messages not important to me (yes I have a lot of messages). I was only able to go back a year - that is all that showed up. I deleted them. BUT the system indicates
I have 19,000 left. I can't see them. Where are they? I would like to delete them. If necessary I would like to delete them from Time Machine, if I can't, any
ideas on how to tell Time Machine not to back up email in the future?

HI,
With some app's .dmgs you will get a "disk" put on the Desktop.
It will often open the window showing you the contents which is often the .mpkg installer.
Going through the Installer process you are sometimes offered the choice of where the item is put.
This example I chose to work with did not.
It is going to install it on Macintosh no matter what.
Example of one that might offer further "drives" or "disks"
In this case the other two are not fully recognised. The "drive/Disk" for AppleJack itself has no room.
I am also not aware of an standalone (Apple) Mail updater.

In the installation process lion will not install as message reads MAC HD 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups .What is the next step

After downloading ,completing the lic agreement phase, the next step is where to install and automatically' MAC HD with 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups' is shown and installation is blocked .
Any body got any idea what to do next ?

Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain.

Sliced up and imported - whats the best next step?

Hey guys, I've been using DreamWeaver for a little while but I really am a novice and really need some help!
I created a page in Photoshop, then sliced it up and imported it into DreamWeaver as a html page - it displayed fine. What I would like to do now though, is turn the centre section of the image into a changing content area - for text and, on one page, a music player. What would be the best way to do this?
Here's a picture of the page... http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z459/dicejar/hbex.jpg

HT6030 Mail Bugs in latest update for mavericks 27/11/13

The latest mail update for mavericks seems to have a bug where you can continuously scroll down so the mail stream disappears. Usually you get the classic apple bounce but that seems to have dissappeared. Also you can't scroll within the preview of mail on the right of scree. Please fix!
Anyone else notice this?

HT4718 My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

Updated latest update for maverick and am having issues

i updated this past weekend to the latest update for Mavericks. and cannot get past the system setting up screen. what can i do to get past this?

apologizes, the mac is intel, and the update was downloaded from apple. as I recall it asked me if I wanted to setup icloud, and I clicked later. then it started saying "setting your mac up.....".I let it go for a while, two times, thinking it needed more time. it did not take me to the desktop at all.
I just read a discussion about reinstalling mavericks to repair what might have a snag. i also have a call into apple later when i get home.
can you elaborate on reinstalling the mavericks, for repair, without erasing the drive?
