Mail will not launch

Cannot open mail from iCloud on my MacBookPro or my iPad. Last email I retreived was yesterday afternoon. I can open other applications in iCloud, e.g., iCal and Contacts. When I try to open mail the grey screen comes up and then the white screen with the spinning wheel (not the beach ball). Just keeps spinning and nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing this. Know this has come up before. Think it must be an Apple problem and not hardware on my end as can't access mail from either my MacBookPro or my iPad.

Suddenly Mail is working again.

  • Mail will not launch after upgrade to Leopard

    I just installed the Leopard OS. My previous OS had been Tiger 10.4.10 and had been recently updated. Now, the Mail program will not launch. When I click the Mail icon, the little blue ball under the icon flashes a few times, then stops. A window opens to say that Mail has unexpectedly quit and asks if I want to send a report to Apple. I sent the report, but this of course does not help me to access my e-mail. Any ideas?

    Exact same problem, resolved thus just now:
    Finder, Search for Mail.app. Open the version 3.0 (Quick Look from Finder/File will help here...) and you'll be prompted to upgrade your mail stuff; from there, you're happy.
    My guess is that the Sidebar didn't upgrade correctly. Mine evidently still references v2.1 of Mail.
    On to that problem next...

  • Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

    Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

    "Repair disk was unable to repair these"
    Any one of the following may fix the directory damage:
    DiskWarrior
    Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
    TechTool Pro
    Multi-functional utility.
    Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
    You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
    You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.

  • Muse mail link will not launch email client

    I have typed "mailto:info@unlockingequity" as a link to text in a footer on this website:
    http://www.unlockingequity.com
    but when you click on the link, it will not launch an email client, it just goes to a blank webpage. Help????
    Not crazy about the latest Muse update, seems like things that were working before (like FTP upload, now this) are not working now.

    The link to text in a footer on this website http://www.unlockingequity.com works perfectly fine. It might be due to the browser protected mode the link didn't work, brought up a blank page instead .
    Please try on different browsers and let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Surjeet

  • Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

    My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open.  Help please.

    You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
    Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

  • I have a yahoo mail account address - Mail will not work with that?

    I tried to mail an email using my Yahoo mail account address. Mail sent it back to me saying that Yahoo rejected it.
    Do I just keep using mailing from Yahoo instead of Mail to keep things working?
    When I click on an e-mail address Mail does come up as my default mail program. How can I change that back to Yahoo using Safari? I've asked that question of Yahoo, but they just tell me to use Firefox, which I do not want to do. I like Safari and will simply fight the Mail program back if I have to. There must be a way to get it under control though - I hope.
    I do use Mail to back up notes from my iPhone. It does work for that just fine.
    TIA,
    Ken

    "Second Step: Launch Mail/Preferences/General/Default email reader and choose Google Notifier.app from the list. Now the mailto links will also bring up a blank email, ready for you to fill out and send by using your Gmail account. "
    Here is Mail getting in the way again. I appreciate your information, I downloaded Notifier and got to the point of above, needing to go to preferences in Mail. Mail will not let me go to preferences unless I give Mail an e-maill account to service. I do not want Mail to service an account. Mail is a nasty obtrusive program that wants to be in the driver's seat of my computer system. If I give Mail my gmail account set up again, using that italian program that also is a hack to my system, I will need to do that just to access Mail preferences so I can tell Mail that it is okay to use Gmail?
    Something is fishy in Denmark to be sure.
    I'm going to delete Notifier.app until I am able to see what gives with Mail.
    Thanks, I thought that was going to be the answer. Mail has stopped me in my tracks again.
    OOoommmm..... (counting to 10)
    Ken
    Later post, I think this post has also taken it that I want to use Mail, Read my many statements, over a dozen by now, that I do not want to use Mail. I want to compose my outgoing mail in GMail. I want GMail to be my default mail program. I wan Apple Mail to Die! (at this point, that seems impossible to accomplish.)
    It's simple, but I will repeat and repeat. I simply want to be able to click on a link, like a link in Craigslist to respond to an ad, and have the GMail compose e-mail come up ready to respond to the Craigslist ad.
    Ken
    EVen more frustration now, I tried the notifier icon in the menu bar and selected compose mail and it tried to open up Apple Mail. How can I get rid of Apple Mail and let my system know that I want the GMail account to come up to compose my email in GMail (what I was trying to do with Yahoo until I got nowhere with Yahoo, now I'm trying to see if I can get GMail to work as my default mail program.

  • Firefox will not launch after latest OS X security update

    Just installed latest Apple software update on Snow Leopard. Now, Firefox will not launch. Checked system logs and get this:
    11/21/10 10:24:20 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[155] ([0x0-0x6d06d].org.mozilla.firefox[802]) Exited with exit code: 1
    The following may or may not be related. Before installing the update, I had lots of these messages in my logs:
    11/21/10 7:27:17 PM firefox-bin[39594] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x1422680 of class __NSCFDate autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
    11/21/10 7:27:17 PM [0x0-0x493493].org.mozilla.firefox 2010-11-21 19:27:17.323 firefox-bin[39594:903] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x1422680 of class __NSCFDate autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking

    Sounds like you may have a check in the box for HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy servers, but you are not behind a proxy server. Safari and Software Update use the HTTP port, Mail doesn't, and Firefox ignores the Mac OS preferences and uses it's own proxy settings.
    Go to System Preferences > Network > active connection > Proxies tab and if there are proxies checked, UNcheck them.
    Hope this helps...

  • Safari won't complete launch, Virex will not launch

    Running iMac G5 with Panther (10.3) via Wi fi using Airport base Station.
    Virex will not launch. Safari and IE begin launch then freeze. Able to use
    Mail and itunes (including Music Store access) as well as "Sherlock".
    Problem began after another user installed "update" from Apple.
    Initially computer would not boot up. Started in Safe mode and
    ultimately deleted and re-installed operating system from original DVD then transferred files/applications from my Powerbook to the iMac.
    Powerbook runs fine on same wifi network.
    Thanks,
    vbrouss

    Hello Vbrouss, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Virex does not seem to be working very well with Mac,look at these links to see if anyof the links relate to your issue. All about Virex
    Basically seem it would be best to uninstalled it. The version you have
    depends on the Uninstaller you will have to download,if you want to uninstall
    it. I would. Then I would update to 10.3.9. It does have some fixes & improvements. The latest update was security for Airport.
    Hth, some.

  • Mail will not open after upgrade to yosemite

    upgraded imac to yosemite, now mail will not open

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List

  • Mail does not launch

    Mail does not launch I tried everything I know Please advise I did upgrade to Yosemite  few days ago

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Outlook will not launch

    I upgraded to OS X v 10.6.8 and upgraded MS Office for MAC Home and Business 2011 to 14.3.1 - now Outlook will not launch.
    I tried completely uninstalling Office 2011, reinstalling and seeing if Outlook with launch.  Ironically, it REQUIRES the upgrade of 14.3.1 to launch and now I get the error message"Check with developer ot make sure MS Outlook works with this version of Mac OS X.
    How do I get Outlook to launch?

    I set it up exactly like I did in Outlook on my desktop computer.  At this point I just want to get the account info off Outlook so I don't have to deal with it, even though I won't be able to check my school e-mail from my laptop without going through
    the 4 steps it takes to log in through the school website.
    If I go to Control Panel > Mail > E-mail Accounts, and try to delete the school e-mail from the list, it tells me "You cannot delete this Outlook data file.  Configuration information in the file is being copied to your new default data file.
     You can delete the file after this information is copied."  It's been giving me that message for the past week.  I can't go in to the Data Files tab to try to remove it, because I get the error "This data file is associated with a mail account.
    To remove it use the 'E-mail' tab."  I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Office suite, and it's still there.  I really don't want to have to reformat my computer again, but I'm afraid that's the only way I'm going to get this
    off of here.
    Just had a thought, is there anything on the desktop I can copy and paste it into a folder on my desktop so that I know it's set up correctly?  I'm 99.999% sure I did it the same way, but that's the only foolproof way I can think of to make absolutely
    sure, and figured it was worth a shot.

  • BB Desktop Software will not launch

    PC, running Windows XP  - Upgraded to new BB Desktop Software.  Was working for about a month.  Now, Will NOT launch - getting Windows Error
    Error Signature:
    EventType : clr20r3     P1 : rim.desktop.exe     P2 : 6.0.1.18     P3 : 4cfdab9c
    P4 : microsoft.practices.composite     P5 : 2.0.1.0     P6 : 4cfdaa3a     
    P7 : 12b     P8 : 50     P9 : sclhiaanmqhkf4zdfpvvwejkphnm1zuj 
    I re-connected to BB and loaded the "fix" versus the fuill version and still cannot load.
    From the Windows Control Panel - Removed the BB Desktop Software and re-booted the PC.  Re-Loaded the full Desktop Software from the BB website.  Still NOTHING - except for the Windows errror.
    Dead in the water.  Cannot launch the BB Software to connect and synch BB Storm!  iPhone on Verizon is looking better and better.  Mid-February is NOT coming soon enough. 
    Help!

    OK  Instead of dueling each other, the issue is my Problem.  If you want to 'duel', please take it off-line.
     No one is "dueling" , we are tying to fix your problem.
    Re-stating my Problem:
    1.  I had loaded BB DM6 on a Windows XP PC about 3 months ago with no problems.  In fact, it linked with all aspects of Outlook that I needed  (Calendar, Task and Contacts).  Yeah!!  This did not happen with the 'original' BB DM that I loaded January 2009 when I bought the BB Storm from Verizon, but I lived with this short coming of BB.  Built my calendar and contacts directly into the BB Storm.
     So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.
    2.  OK.  So something happened last week and the BB DM6 will not launch without getting the error message that I put in my 1st Posting of this Problem.
    "So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened  i couldn't possibly know.  The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
    3.  I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC.  Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
    4.  Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program".  Re-Booted the PC.  Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6.  Same error message and no Launch.
    Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
    5.  I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!!  I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
    6.  What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do?  From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website?  Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6.  I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
    The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
    In your description of the January 2009 install  there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
    Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
    The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
    7.  In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
     This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.

    Hello:
    You need to contact "epost."  The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.
