Mail wont load at all?

Have had this problem since next week and being not particulary technological minded im stuck! When trying to load the programme from my Dock it bounces about and then stops but when right clicking it states "not responding".
Not being able to search I havent looked for possible solutions although one suggestion on another post, to hold shift, has not worked? Any ideas welcome!
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

How did you fix this problem?
I have two members of my family who are experiencing similar problems.
Thanks

TS1398 My ipod touch (geration 4) wont load my internet it just keeps giving me the loading sign. It was working perfectly fine untill yesterday for some random reason and now it wont load at all. What can I do to fix it?

My ipod touch (geration 4) wont load my internet it just keeps giving me the loading sign. It was working perfectly fine untill yesterday for some random reason and now it wont load at all. Again it just gives me a loading sign and the wifi symbol wont come up.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router

Mail wont load following OS6 update

My phone just completed the OS6 update. Now none of my mail will load. When I tap on the mail icon, i get a few messages (from yesterday) and it says ""Checking for mail"..then crashes. That is it. Have tried removing mail from settings, then reinstalling - no change. Did a hard reset (start and home button) - no change. Any other thoughts? I am thinking I will NOT update my iPhone 4s (second phone), iPad or iTouch until these issues are worked out...

meant to add - this is for all my emails (yahoo, gmail, exchange) - is the "mail" application that is the problem, I think.

HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all

Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X". Can I uninstall the update?

!! WARNING !!
about the September 2012
"Security Update 2012-004"
If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
**BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
Been through it all, already. In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation. So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD?? Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE ! Instead, download the actual update file itself.
Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
#2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
Reboot.
After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
Happy Mac'in!

Interesting. I think an iTunes version 10.5.x ought to be able to launch without having a QuickTime.qts on the system. So the problem report might be lying to us in this instance.
It might be best to swing into general principles mode and try working through the following document:

MAIL NOT LOADING AT ALL

Hi, I have suddenly been unable to open my mail properly. When I click on the icon it opens up but you can't see any of the messages and beside each inbox/email folder is just the loading wheel. It is just CONTINUALLY loading.
I've turned the macbook on and off several times and checked that all the software updates have been completed.
I'd love some help or advise please its very frustrating!
Thanks

It would help us to know which computer model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

Mail wont load or do anything!?!?!?!?!? :(

Well i open up m mail app and it comes up with the rainbow mouse loader and does nothing. It does not even show me my current emails in my inbox.... i then go to the force quite app and it says " mail not responding "
anyhelp?
Will

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations, and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift (⇧) key down until the main window appears. This tells Mail to not select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
2. With no Internet connection.

Hi ..please help! Safari started crashing last night ('The Application quit unexpectedly....') and now wont start up again after a variety of attempts; just keep getting that message repeatedly. I have:

Thanks

Hi KB
that is indeed the whole report - & the pertinent line is, as ~Bee said
image not found /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Security
What this means is - Safari tries to load another piece of software, and can't - either because it's missing or damaged somehow.
you didn't attempt to remove anything manually whilst trying to get Safari re-loaded... ?
If not, I do suggest you use Disk Utility while booted from your install disk to Verify the HD, and then startup normally & repair disk permissions from Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities/
If that all seems fine, obviously you need to get that file replaced, and hope that it's the only one missing/mangled ( often does seem to be the case )
Either archive/install Tiger, followed by all necessary software updates
or
Hope that it's part of the 10.4.11 combo - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170 assuming that the file doesn't stop Installer from running.
or
bring /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework over from another mac running the same OS version, place it exactly where it should be, and hope that it's the only thing missing/mangled ( often does seem to be the case )
I don't know if it's part of the 10.4.11 combo, haven't a copy to hand. Also, there might have been other reasons, (and a whole different report), why Safari first started crashing. So you may find the archive/install less trouble overall.

Mail wont load new mail

My Mail program will no bring in new messages! I can check the messages online at Mac.com but not in the actual program. I have already tried deleting the preferences and defining the accounts again, and it only loads the same old messages. I've also tried the traditional rebooting to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Could it be that Mail is in an "offline" state? Is
the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or
disabled?
I have two .Mac accounts. Both Mailboxes are online.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is
Include when automatically checking for new
mail checked or unchecked?
It is checked for both my mailboxes.
Open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it
say?
For one .Mac account (the one I dont really use) t it says "Connection & login to server suceeded"
For the other .Mac account it says "Cannot connect to this .Mac server. Check your network connection and that you entered in the correct information in Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not uncheck that box."
Was this account set up as type .Mac in Mail, or was
it set up as POP? If .Mac, try rebuilding the the
mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox >
Rebuild.
I tried rebuilding both of them and now I dont have my old emails either. Just an empty Inbox.

Have light room 5 .....maps only show yellow and red photo tags the map it self struggles to load and in most cases wont load at all

i have light room 5
tried loading map but only get the yellow and orange/red photo tags click on the tags the photos show but the map it self will not load

There's no limit that I know of, I can certainly place all of my photos on my map (and I have about 18000 geotagged photos), but the speed of your CPU will certainly make a difference, maybe memory too (how much memory do you have?)
as far as I’m aware there are no filters turned
Did you actually check? Or are you saying you THINK there are no filters turned on? (these are not the same thing)

Firefox wont load at all due to ATL error message

When I hit the Firefox Icon and error message comes on say Uniode Error AtL80.DLL and it even try to load because I can't get the error message to close. I have to shut my computer down and when it comes back up and try again.,, the error message is back right in the middle of the screen. Don't understand what happened. Was working fine until I got message to Upgrade Firefox and tried to install upgrade.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Mail Wont Open at all! "Mail closed unexpectedly"

Hi,
Restarted my Macbook after a preferences error and for some reason I cannot open mail. When I click the applications icon in the dock a box appears in the centre of my screen telling me that "Mail closed unexpectedly". It gives me the option to 'Cancel' 'Report to Apple' or 'Re launch'. I have reported to apple numerous times and it doesn’t seem to have done any good. When I click re launch the box appears again, then when I re launch again i get a different message saying that Mails preferences will be reset so try and fix the problem. This doesn’t work. Hope someone can help me!

Mail wont launch at all. Deleted this: ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Mail wouldnt let me send outgoing mail claiming there to be an error whilst there was an outgoing connection. So I thought to completely reset the entire app and found a forum that told me to delete something >_> And so I deleted this ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and now nothing will launch. And well. Nothing is backed up. Im an idiot. ;___; I just want to go back to my chalk and slate. TECHNOLOGY HATES ME. Please help me.

Hi Bill,
You could also try com.apple.helpviewer.plist (in ~/Library/Preferences). Have you noted whether this is system-wide or restricted to your user account? I'd create a test account (if you don't have another on your system) and try the help menus. If they're messed up over there, then fixing things in your user folder won't help. The only system resource I could find that seems remotely relevant is /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.helpdata.plist, but I'd be verrrry careful about messing around with stuff in your System folder.
Hope that helps!

My MAC did a software update tonight and now my mail wont load, it is teeling me I need to update my mail software, can someone tell me how to do this please?e

My mac updated softwar tonight and now I have no mal, can someone tell me how to udate my mail sofware please ?

I assume you're talking about Security Update 2012-004 for Snow Leopard? Have you by any changed moved your Mail application out of the Applications folder? This will cause updates to fail to work - Apple's included applications should always be left where Apple installed them.
If this is the case, move it back, then downlad the update from Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard) and run it again.
