Must force quit Mail application
I am most used to using Entourage as my mail application but have been trying to use Mail but it constantly freezes and then I must Force Quit to start over. Keep going back to Entourage but of course I need Mail, for example, if I want to mail contents of webpage in Safari. What's the deal with Mail. Are there known problems?
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.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Must force quit mail - registering syncing suspected
On an iMac running 10.5.8, Mail has to be force quit repeatedly. When looking at the Activity viewer, the process that appears to be hanging is "registering syncing preferences," and "syncing."
Any idea what's going on here? I've deleted all mail data and rebuilt it and consistently have the same issue. I suspect it's related to MobileMe syncing, but am not sure. Any ideas?Having many issues with mail. Must click message viewer to actually see my emails. Then must force quit to get out of mail. I finally left entourage(super slow with exchange server) to find mail not to be any better.

Cannot force quit Mail application or turn off computer
My Mail application has been quite buggy the past few days -- today, it's been at it's worst, and will not allow me to close the application or force shut down on my computer. It very randomly decided to start saving one of my failed messages into my "Recovered Mail" folder multiple times, and now it shows next to my Inbox messages that they were last viewed on "January 1, 1970"
I've tried to force quit Mail and it simply won't close. I need to restart my computer, and even holding down power does nothing... it keeps telling me Mail needs to close first.
I've ran two virus scans and it says nothing is wrong but I'm baffled. Any help or ideas? Thank youHi eulojoy,
Some questions about your mail application:
1.) How many email accounts are you checking?
2.) Are they POP, IMAP and/or Exchange?
3.) How many messages do you have in each of those accounts? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?
Did you recently run any OS X updates, such as the one from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4? Has anything changed on your system since the last time Mail worked properly? Do you run any 3rd party plugins for Mail? -
I am using a Macbook running 10.6.8 with Firefox version 9.0.1. Recently, when trying to close the Firefox application, the open page disappears, but the application stays open, but is unresponsive. I must force Quit the application at this point. If I try to work in the Menu Bar I get the spinning beach ball until I do the Force Quit. This isn't right and is making me nervous about the reliability of this browser.
Hi swf13245-
Is Firefox working ok up until it freezes when you try to close it? I found an article on how to troubleshoot Firefox when it hangs- but this typically is for users who have trouble while using the application as opposed to just when shutting it down:
[[Firefox hangs]]
Hope that helps. -
Mail won't quit. I must "force quit" mail and reopen in order to get new mail. Also must force quit mail to shut down.
Consider yoiu have corrupt preference file, corrupt mail index, possibly the disk directory.
Try safe boot.
Try repairing the drive from another partition. Lion Recovery or OS X DVD.
And for help with mail

Any ideas for Mail must-force-quit bug after 10.5.2 upgrade?
I've tried many different things suggested on this forum (removing bundles; rebuilding mailboxes; moving Mail folder to desktop for rebuild; eliminating To Dos; creating new Address Book DB). But nothing seems to work. I have to force quit Mail every time. Now it sometimes doesn't check Mail manually either.
What exactly changed in the 5.2 update that could cause so many problems? Mail is becoming intolerable. I'm not a huge fan of Office, but in 5+ years, Entourage never gave me such difficulties. Come on, Apple!
Message was edited by: SPDOK, I found a solution. If possible, use a webmail account to go in and delete your "To Do" folders, if that is what is hanging your Mail application. I did that with one IMAP account, only to have "To Do" items show up under another IMAP account. That account is on my web host, so I converted the account to POP. After that, Mail started working properly again since it was not trying to sync "To Do" items with various IMAP servers.
This problem started after upgrading to 5.2, though I noticed others experienced it with 5.0 and 5.1.

Will not upgrade mail database....freezes and must force quit
downloaded lion and mail requires upgrade mail database. Freezes and does not upgrade and must force quit. Try again and same thing happens.
I can get mail from icloud but not thru mail icon on dock. Help!I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in. -

Hello pjdsmith,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Here is a good article for troubleshooting email issues. Because there are a number of things that might be causing it, this article is good because it covers a number of possibilities.

I have to force quit mail every time I want to shut down my macbook
I know there are several other posts asking the same question but I've been through all of them and I can't find which is the application that is blocking my mail from closing. Here is the diagnostics test I ran.

IPhoto preferences must force quit
Hello,
I am trying to change iPhoto (8.1.2) preferences and every time I launch iPhoto>Preferences, beach ball of death and I must force quit.
I can work within iPhoto and do other stuff, just when I go into Preferences does this happen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, AdamLaunch 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
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 the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages 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.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Must force quit to close and won't display links with pdf or quicktime
when i try to close firefox it gets hung up and i must force quit. also when i try to open links like show a bill and it a pdf the screen goes blank. also other links that use quicktime fail as well. all this works fine in safari so i must conclude it is a fire fox issue.
You do not have a problem with the iPhoto application - you have a problem with the iPhoto library
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Rogue message: can't open, must force quit
I have one message in my in-box which will not open. Highlighting it (even by deleting mail above or below it) prompts the rainbow swirl to appear forever and I must force quit. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4)If your mail client has a "preview pane" feature like Outlook, Outlook Express, or Entourage try turning this feature off.
You should then have just a list of mail and subjects.
Select the offending item and delete.
I would immediately empty the Deleted Items and then quit and restart the mail client after that. -
Must force quit Premiere Mac OS 10.9.4
Must force quit Premiere Mac OS 10.9.4
Mac Pro 3Ghz 8 core Xeon E5
32 gig
2-D700 graphicsI did as you said, with a few more details from Larry Jordan. When I trashed my old projects did show up so I wondered if I really trashed. Premiere is working well after a few start-ups and I have imported a new video in one premiere shut down-restart. I had idea that my media cash database is directed to the Promise raid, to save space on the small solid state system drive, and that may be the problem but it is not an issue. Thanks all... Jim
When an application starts acting weird, one of the best ways to reset it, before you call tech support, is to trash its preference files.
With Final Cut in Lion, you need to find a hidden folder and trash two files. Recent versions of Premiere Pro make this much easier. Here’s the secret:
When launching Premiere Pro from either a Mac or PC, hold down two keys while launching. This automatically throws away Premiere’s preferences.
For the Mac, press Shift+Option
For the PC, press Shift+Alt
In both cases, continue holding the keys until the splash screen appears. You will know you successfully trashed preferences when the splash screen doesn’t have projects listed. -
Force Quitting active Application
When holding down Shift & clicking the Apple menu whilst having an Application active, "Force Quit..." becomes "Force Quit xxx" whereby xxx is the current Application.
I'm having trouble using the keyboard shortcut for this command, Option + Shift + Apple + Esc (as listed next to the item) don't work.
Must I enable something to allow the use of this?Nah mate, not that.
I can open the Force Quit window just fine.
I'd like to use the Force Quit <active application> keyboard command you are given when holding Shift & viewing the Apple menu.
"Click the Apple menu, keep your eyes fixed on the "Force Quit..." command, and press Shift. You'll see "Force Quit..." change into "Force Quit Safari" (or whatever app you have selected).
You'll also notice the key command beside it adds a Shift, although pressing the given key combination doesn't work as it should. "
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1247/fqaa1pd.png
See what I mean?
"Keyboard shortcut is commandoptionesc. You've been adding the shift key which doesn't do anything. "
That's the point, adding Shift SHOULD do something. -
