Mail won't upgrade, it has been stuck 1/4 way, help?

I upgraded to Lion last night and i updated to icloud.  Under system preferences and icloud, i put the check mark in for mail to work and it just thinks and thinks and then freezes up and i have to force quit.  I tried opening mail to manually add and it says it's upgrading and will take a few minutes, the blue bar is 1/4 way across and has been stuck there for a long time.  i tried removing mail, it won't delete.  And even if i remove my icloud account, and i open mail, it's still just stuck at that same place.  any ideas how to get around it?

I know this was asked a few months agoa, but in case anyone else has this problem (I did today)...restarting my Mac worked.

    My mac book has been stuck on software update all night. Am I allowed to manually shut it down?

    Yes, you won't be arrested for shutting it down. Depending on what was being updated, the machine may or may not start up properly (or at all) afterward. If it doesn't, post back for advice.

  • Since iphone 5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3

    Since iphone5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and totally reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3
    Are there many others experiencing this?

    The number of apps that run in the background are very few and far between. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock means just that for the most part - the app was recently used only and is not running.
    Have you powered your iPhone off and on and/or tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart since the update was installed?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with the Mail app on your iPhone?

  • I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

    That seems to be OK via WLAN!
    It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

  • HT5621 How to change an Apple ID if the e-mail adress on that ID has been cancelled?

    I used to work for a company that did supply me with an IPhone 4S. I was send on pension, but kept my IPhone.
    Now it keeps on giving me a message to log in with my Apple ID, wich was the company's e-mail adress, allocated to me, and requesting the password that used to go with it, but the E-mail adress and its' password has been cancelled and it keeps on telling me that it was the wrong user name and password. How can I delete the old user name and create a new one?

    You cannot.
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • The location service of my iPod touch has been stuck

    I've an 4G 32GB iPod Touch, iOS 6 it have a problem, my location service has been stuck on Caracas, but I'm on a trip now, and when I conect it on a wifi network and try to get some directions it give me the location of my house in caracas, plz help.
    Greetings from venezuela.

    Are you connecting to a public network or your own rrouter that you brought with you?
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
    If a public network
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneraL>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

    Jonellel53796317 I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the update which is failing to apply.

  • My flash update has been stuck at 30% for hours. Is there anything I can do to actually get it to download?

    I have been trying to download flash to watch an exam review and it has been stuck at 30% for hours. I tried restarting the download and it went to 30% and stopped again. I am using a Mac with the most up to date software available for it.

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • My Apple TV 2 has been stuck at the update screen for 18 hours, what can I do?

    I read about the 4.4.4 update yesterday. I always actively install new updates as soon as they're issued. This time my Apple TV has been stuck on step 1 of the update. The progress bar has been at about 90% since yesterday. Right below it says not to unplug the device while updating. No other controls respond. What do I do? I'm afriad to brick if I unplug it. Anyone has any tips for me?
    PS. I do not have any jailbreaks on it. It's stock.

    I have the same problem updated my Apple TV 2 yesterday and it got stuck on the Apple and the apple tv is blinking at a steady.  Restored in iTunes hooked it back up to my tv, input all my settings, wifi, apple id, and netflix.  and did not do anything else, came back in and the light was blinking steady on the apple tv again and stuck on the Apple logo.  Restored in itunes again and hooked back up, just hooked up my wifi settings and manually rebooted.  Same thing got stuck on the apple logo.  What to do?
