Mail won't open after yosemitie update

Hi All
Running a 2011 macbook pro.  Just upgraded to Yosemitie. I now have two issues:
1. In iCloud, it will not let me log out of my old account (old email address that i no longer own).  It tells me i need to open mail then try again.
2. When i try to open mail it won't open and i get an error message and report that is sent to Apple.
Can anyone help please?  Low tech answers if possible

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
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Mail. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    I updated my macbook pro last night to the yosemite version 10.10.3 and my mail app won't open anymore and i get the following message:
    "The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?".
    I followed the advice on similar post about using disk utility, restoring using time machine, removing the mail file from the library and copying it to the desktop, but nothing works.

  • Mail won't open after software update

    I just did a software update (I think it was itunes update) and now mail won't open. Mail is still located in the apps folder. Message says to reinstall mail. Any ideas?
    Thx!

  • Mail won't open after Security Update 2012-004

    At some point, Apple started doing this annoying stupid thing with certain app updates (among them QuickTime Player, and iTunes, and Mail) where if those apps do not reside in /Applications they will not be updated properly. In some cases, a new copy is installed in /Applications, and you just have to manually replace your older copy. Annoying, but doesn't break anything. I installed the latest security update today, after which Mail would not launch, with the error message, "You cannon run this version of Mail on this version of MacOS X." There was a new Mail item in /Applicaitons (my unupdated copy lives in /Applications/Communication) with a generic app icon that doesn't launch at all.
    I tried copying the package contents from the new version to the old, but that didn't work. (Maybe if I'd logged out or restarted it would have, but I didn't try that.) I called Apple and they had me download a combo update. That did absolutely nothing except waste my time. I called back, and a Mail Specialist said I would need to archive and install from the original disc that came with my computer.
    Bad support is so much worse than no help at all. If you don't know what you're doing are not skilled and just reading from a horrible, unhelpful script, say so, and don't make bad suggestions. What a waste of time A. to call support, B. to follow their suggestions, C. it would have been to follow the last of their suggestions.
    Actual solution:
    Move unupdated Mail.app (and, if you're like me, QuickTime Player, too) to /Applications
    Download the security update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586 (one-fifth the size of the combo update)
    Run the installer
    That's it. That's what support should have told me to do. Of course, shouldn't have had to do this at all; Software Update should be smart enough to update apps wherever they live.

    At some point, Apple started doing this annoying stupid thing with certain app updates (among them QuickTime Player, and iTunes, and Mail) where if those apps do not reside in /Applications they will not be updated properly.
    Correct. It has always been that way in OS X. Applications, particularly from Apple, belong in the Applications Folder, where update installers can find them and link to associated system files that may be updated as well without you realising it.

  • Mail Won't Open After System Update

    I just downloaded a system update which was a security update and now I can't open Mail. I keep getting this message:

  • ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

    ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

  • My iTunes won't open after last update.

    My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

    I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

  • IPhoto won't open after iLife update

    iPhoto won't open after iLife update.  How get iPhoto to funtion again?

    What version of iPhoto? What happens when you try?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System.

    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

  • Mail won't open after update

    Why won't my mail open after OSX update?  How do I get it going again?  Thanks! Kent

    I had the same problem - my Mail was in the wrong place, and the updater made an inoperable app file. Fortunately, I was able to re-install the update and get the new version of Mail working. I did the following:
    1) downloaded the updater image file from Apple, It's called "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
    2) put my old Mail app in the Applications Folder, then
    3) opened the disk image and ran the updater.
    If you have your old Mail.app file (and App Store file), it should work.

  • Mail won't open after computer falls asleep - forced to force quit!

    Hi there,
    My mail won't open 85% of the time unless I force quit and restart my computer. Then, after my computer goes to sleep, I click on the stamp on my dock, and nothing happens. My computer says its still open. I've tried quitting mail and reopening from my Applications folder, but still, nothing happens, and I have to force quit my computer and restart so I can get/send my mail.
    Any one have an idea for me? I have my gmail and another personal email set up as IMAP. Could there be a glitch in the way I set that up? Mail seems to come and go fine, when it's active.
    Thanks in advance for your time and any help

    Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm having the exact same problem and it really just started a couple days ago.

  • Applications won't open after software update

    after i installed an automatic software update on my iBook G4, and did the restart, several applications won't open such as Safari, iTunes, iChat. I tried to reinstall the software update, but that won't open either. it just jumps up and down like normal, and then won't open. after i try again, it jumps only once. what the heck is happening??? and i'm not very computer smart so dumb it up for me

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
