My air won't open mail and I can't shut down computer because I can't quit mail
My MacBook Air won't open mail. Now I can't shut down the computer because mail interrupts shutdown but I can't quit mail either
Try doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

Just downloaded and installed new LR CC. No apparent problems with the D/I on my iMac, OS 10.10.3. however LR CC will not start. I get a momentary flash of the opening screen and then the program shuts down. From the posts it looks like this if a very common problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.
iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

My mail won't open or close and I can't shut down my mac
My mail won't open or close and I can't shut down my Mac
Same here.
Can't be. This forum covers pre-2006 iMacs; MacBook Pros have a completely different architecture and therefore different issues. For Mail problems, the best place to post is in the forum for your OSX version from the list here:
Mac OS & System Software
BTW, my wife and I both use Apple mail and have not had any issues from about OSX 10.6 on. Admittedly, when Mail was introduced with OSX thirteen years ago, it had some real problems, but they seem to have been fixed. -
Ipad Air won't open in My Computer
Hi,
My Ipad Air won't open in My Computer on my PC. My Iphone and older Ipad open just fine, but my newer one won't. It shows up fine in Itunes.
I'm trying to get on it to see about copying photos. My PC has, for some reason, converted a bunch of my photos to the .ithmb suffix and they won't open on my PC. This whole episode is baffling. Any help would be appriciated.Hello BHP11,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your iPad Air.
First, if the AutoPlay dialog box does not open, the following article suggests to check your settings:
Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

If you are still not able to import photos, I recommend continuing with the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open. It says to close mail and continue shut down. Problem is I can't open or close mail now. Can't shut down my computer at all. What can I do?
If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
When you power back on, the Mac should reboot. -

I accidentally dropped my friend's macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!
I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
Please help me..Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs. -
When I click on my mail icon nothing happens...it won't open or quit (so I can't shut down my computer). What's going on?
Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

my mail will not open after I click on mail.when I try to shut down my laptop ,it wouldn't telling that mail is preventing the computer from shutting down,asking to quit Mail and when I do mail dose not quit
Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook
