My computer isn't restarting or shutting off and it says that it's because my Mail app isn't letting it, but the app isn't even open. I need help!

My computer won't let me restart it or shut it off because it says that my Mail app is open, but in fact, the Mail app WILL NOT let me open it, and I tried closing it from the little app bubble itself, nothings working!
I can't access my Mail, or even shut down my computer or restart it.
Does anyone know anything that I can do?

Try seeing if its in the force quit menu
Menu bar/Apple logo
select force quit
and see if mail is in the force quit applications, if so select it and force quit it.

    So there I was just on facebook page through my iPod when it just shut down. I try to turn it on, but it didn't work. I tried to charge it but it wouldn't charge either. What should I do? What do you think is wrong?

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and now it keeps just shutting off and coming back on?

    I updated my iphones 3gs to ios 5 and now it just randomly shuts off and on. whats wrong with it?

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • IMac G5 shuts off and won't restart

    Mac suddenly shuts off, and won't restart. Begins to boot, but shuts down again, sometimes after only a few seconds and before the chime, sometimes after 30 seconds, sometimes after several minutes. After many attempts, can sometimes get restarted. If I hold in the power button, I get a long tone, and then sometimes get a gray screen with Linux style text, and if I type mac-boot as prompted, it will usually reboot. Then its good for a day, or several days but eventually, will go off and I can't reliably get back to that gray screen with text.
    Not a techie, or Linux fluent...just got there by accident.
    Is there something I can do / reset / or replace to fix this? (Yes, I know the computer's old, but I'm not ready to go to the Intel chip and the expense of repurchasing all my software yet!!)
    Thanks for any help.

    I have the same 1.8 GHz iMAC G5, and had the same problem of the computer shutting off abruptly, and then not starting up - shutting down after the chime, or sometime during the start-up process (I don't know about the gray screen - never tried that). Eventually the computer just wouldn't turn on at all - now it's dead.
    I found this Apple support article recently, which shows how to diagnose a dead iMac G5, to see whether the computer has a bad power supply or a bad logic board. It might be helpful - in my case, it points to a bad logic board. Maybe both are bad (?). The procedure is for a dead computer, but maybe it would show something in your case too.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2173
    Good luck. I don't how much it would cost to put in a new logic board or power supply. I love the monitor on the G5 iMac (beautiful non-glossy), and I wish I knew of a way to use the monitor by itself.

  • Macbook shuts off and when I restart it the time is changed? Have I been Hacked?

    macbook shuts off and when I restart it the time is changed? Have I been Hacked?
    I am concerned that someone is going to steal my identiy and will in incurr 12 years of bad credit?  I have just installed mountan lion and am unsure if this problem was caused by this? I suspect that if there was someone, or a program was  trying to remotely access my computer then there would be traces of their actions.

    How old is your macbook, and what condition is your battery in?
    I doubt you're being hacked - more like your battery is dead.
    Try doing both PRAM and SMC resets, setting the system time and seeing if they hold. Ensure you are connected to a power source.

  • MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way.

    MacBook Pro. Was Streaming radio. When came back to computer it appeared to have shut off. Now can't get it to respond in any way. Now that you can't remove the battery, I don't know how to get it to quit, although it doesn't appear to be making any noise, so might have quit on it's own.  Any ideas? Thanks!

    I honestly don't remember what it came with though I do remember having two drives so long ago.  Since then I've had to replace them with newer, faster ones, and just didn't really need a second drive.  I don't copy cds, I just need something to read DVDS (which the current one doesn't seem to want to do) and occasionally burn something.
    I bought the MacPro becuase I am a tireless multitasker, having super memory eating programs on at all times.  Right now I am working in Photoshop while watching a movie, with two P2P programs open, two chat programs and surfing the internet, with two monitors active so I can see everything.. I can't imagine the average pc doing this wthout blowing up   Mac Pros are the ultimate computer for those that like to do a lot at once.
    The speed and memory capacity of the Mac Pro make it the best computer hands down to handle a mind that can't be satisfied with doing just one thing at a time!
    And six years after buying it, it can still eat the average pc for breakfast  How's that for great?

  • Safari + Silverlight + Full screen = MBP suddenly shuts off and restarts

    In the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has unexpectedly shut off and then started back up three times. Each time it happened while I was watching full-screen Silverlight video in Safari (4.0.3) — twice on the Netflix website and once on the NBC Sports website.
    The first time I had been watching the video for several minutes before it happened; I switched to a different computer to finish my movie.
    The second time it happened as soon as I switched into full-screen. I watched the rest of the game in a window (i.e., not full-screen) without incident.
    The third time happened after seven minutes of full-screen video. I switched over to Camino (1.6.9) and was able to watch the rest of my movie in full-screen without incident.
    I've watched full-screen video in Safari many times before without problems, but the last three incidents have occurred the last three times I've done it (i.e., it now seems to be happening every time).
    Each time, my MBP was connected to power, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Could it be an overheating issue? The fact that I was running the same software combination each time suggests to me that it's a software problem, but the symptom suggests hardware. Thoughts?

    Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
    I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
    "Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
    "I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
    Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

  • My on/off button sticks and today my iPhone shut off and I can't turn it back on.  Also it isn't even repond when I plug it in.  Any ideas?  Is there some way it can be reset?

    My on/off button sticks and today my iPhone shut off and I can't turn it back on.  Also it isn't even reponding when I plug it in.  Any ideas?  Is there some way it can be reset?

    If the reset does not help, make an appointment at the Apple store.  If your phone is out of warranty and you can't afford what they want, google for local repair services.

  • Iphone 4s freezing at start up then shuts off and keeps restarting then repeating that process over and over. I have tried to reset the phone two different ways and still this problem occurs after I update it or turn off the phone.

    yes the title says most of what is going on.
    I recently reset my phone, losing all contacts and pictures. It was working fine, then after I updated it, it will not turn on completely.
    It starts up with the apple logo
    -goes to the ios 6 (please slide to open) screen
    -then shuts off
    -and repeats the process unless I shut the phone off manually
    I have tried to hold the lock and the home button down to manually reset the phone
    I have also tried reseting the phone completely previously, and I still have this problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!!

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
