Messages Not Opening Mac Air

I am running Yosemite 10.10.4 Messages is not responsive. I try to open it and it bounces on the icon bar as thought it is going to open but never does. Eventually it will say Messages (not responding). This is really frustrating.
Notifications will tell me I received a new message, but the interface simply doesn't come on. Help!

Hi,
It seems there are two possibles for this.
1) Antivirus ware from McAfee or Kaspersky that are now not allowing Messages since the OS 10.10.3 update.
2) In the Contacts App > Preferences > Accounts there are two active sync methods.

Email a link opens entire Outlook exe, not just send a message, how do i change this to only send a message, not open outlook.exe?

When i click on Send a Link from Mozilla, it opens up an entirely new Outlook windows, so if i send two links, i will have two Outlook's open. how do i just make it only open a new message, not the entire Outlook. We are running Windows 8.1 and the newest firefox build, thank you

I actually do not know for sure, but when opening : "3bar" > Preferences/Options > Applications > and search for mail to, if you set it to always ask it does it still open two Outlooks?

Mail App Note Opening (Mac OS 10.7.4)

I have a Mac Book Pro that was purchased in March 2012. Yesterday the Mail App refused to open (it shows the "working" symbol, but never opens).
I did a software update but no luck. When I try to check my settings through Mail prefs I get the wheel of death. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Woops. I meant "not" opening.

APPLE TV doesn't find my IPAD, not may MAC AIR, not my wife's MACBOOK

I have not been able to wirelessly (wifi) connect any of our APPLE devices to APPLE TV. They don't appear in the menu. I have set my computer to the same ITUNES account of the APPLE TV, I switched off all of the devices and the APPLE TV, unsuccesfully turn on again.
But I have been able to stream photos (¿?) from my MAC AIR to APPLE TV.

If each computer uses a different ID and password in homesharing in the iTunes advanced menu, both computers cannot connect to the Apple TV, they need to be the same.
On the Apple TV under the Settings menu, select 'Computers' (5th option down and enter the same ID and password. If it says 'turn off homesharing' you have already entered an ID and password, but it might be a good idea to turn it off and check you enter exactly the same details as on both computers from the iTunes advanced menu.

Linked PDFs do not open in AIR help window

I am creating a help system in RoboHelp 10 and outputting it as AIR help. The help topics include links to several PDF documents, which are stored locally (they are not on a server or Web site). When I click any of the links in the AIR help window, however, the window goes blank; the content from the PDF does not appear. No other windows open, either. How can I get the content from the linked PDFs to appear in the AIR help window? Thanks!

Have you tried including the PDFs in Baggage Files?
I'm not sure that is necessary without testing but it's worth a try. Post back to let us know whether or not that works.

Adobe Bridge CS4 window will not open MAC

I was using Bridge CS4 on a MAC OSX 10.6.8 yesterday and all was fine. Today when I went to use Bridge, there was no window open. Bridge started up and appeared normal. However, there is no window. When I select "new Window" nothing happens. I uninstalled manually and reinstalled all Photoshop software from the start. I went to open Bridge and the same thing occured. How do I get a new window in Bridge to operate?

Yes!! Success at last. Thank you Omke. Holding down the Option key while starting fixed it. That's an answer that nobody at Adobe could provide me with in 9 hours. Regards.

SpeedGrade CC14 will not open - Mac 10.9.5

SpeedGrade refuses to luanch on my Mac. Mac Pro, GTX 680, latest Cuda drivers.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using the CC cleaner tool to wipe it out before re-install and same result. The splash screen never even comes up. A small dot appears for a second in the dock as if a new app were trying to open but it disappears before it's bigger than a few pixels. Can anyone help me trouble shoot this?

Hi Cinemasters,
Can you try rebooting your computer, trashing preferences, and repairing disk permissions? I had an issue like this and a simple reboot solved it. Also, check out this doc: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
Thanks,
Kevin

Premiere CC 2014 Freezing / Crashing / Not opening Mac Pro 10.10

System Version: OS X 10.10.3 (14D131)
Model Identifier: MacPro5,1
Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Xeon
Model Name: Mac Pro
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. If I try creating a new project it just crashes. "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere to shot down." If I try to open an old project, I get a blank dialogue box. Both situations require a force quit.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

It turns out its the Renderer.
If you can open Premiere, got to File > Project Settings > General > Look for an option that says "Renderer" Change that to Software Only.
Done

Adobe Reader will not open (Mac)

I installed a trial of Acrobat and something went wrong. When I ran it for the first time it said that certain elements needed repair and asked if I wanted to repair or get rid of the Safari plug in and the Adobe virtual printer. Then it said Internal Error (no number) and crashed. Running it again skipped the first step and just gave me Internal Error, crash. This also broke Adobe Reader. It, too, says Internal Error and then crashes.
Things I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling both programs several times.
Fixing permissions.
Verifying the disk.
Scouring every single file I could track down with Adobe in the name out of the Applications and Library (both system and user) folders. Then reinstalling a freshly downloaded Reader. It still returned Internal Error.
Downloading the CS4 cleanup script, which said I had no installations (presumably because I'd already deleted all those files).
I don't know for sure that a corrupt Acrobat installation is even to blame for this. I rarely use Reader, so it could have been broken for weeks. And the two share very similar purpose, so it could be some jointly used bit of code or file that's the problem for all I know. Photoshop continued to work fine until I removed it with every other Adobe file.
What can I do to make them work? Especially Reader.

I finally turned up some information on this. Inexplicably, my username had been removed from the permissions for the Adobe applications support folder in my user library (the user library, which makes it even stranger. Why was the other username the owner of a folder in this library?). I added my username back on and gave it full read and write permissions, and now Reader opens right up.
No idea how this could have happened.

CC Updater not opening-MAC

When I try to open Updater, all I get are those spinning blue lines and the menu icon stays gray. I try turning off virus protection, but I get the same result.

App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually

I use yahoo business mail, but I am getting hundreds of spam message on my Mac Air. I don't get them on my iPhone. Ive run a Malware app. Does anyone know how I can stop getting all this junk mail. Thanks

How do i stop getting spam coming to my mailbox using Yahoo Business mail? I use Yahoo Biz Mail, but am now getting a huge amount of spam. I don't get any using the same address on my iPhone. I ran a Malware app - didn't help. Any ideas??

Hello SkeeterOz,
It sounds like you’re seeing spam emails in the Mail application on your MacBook Air, but you aren’t seeing those spam emails on your iPhone. The article linked below will walk you through enabling Junk Mail filtering in Mail and specifying what you want to do with the emails that are filtered.
Mail (Mavericks): Change the junk mail filter
I hope this helps.
