My mail will not open on my new MacBook.

I first had an mail account on my mac G5 for three years, and mail never fails. Now, I have a MacBook also, and I set up the mail to sync between the two computers. It was fine for a few weeks. Now I can't open mail on the MacBook. The Imac is fine - unchanged. What can I do to reconfigure the MacBook so that I ca open mail?

try running a disk permissions repair in disk utility. If that doesn't work, do an archive and install of the operating system. If all this fails, take it to an Apple Store or send it back to apple to get it fixed.

  • Aperture will not open on my new MacBook Pro. I'm running version 10.8.3.

    The following message appears:
    "Check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
    I've reinstalled Aperture twice, and installed all available updates, but this message continues to pop up.

    Hi,
    I didn't upgrade to Mountain Lion - since I got my computer yesterday it came pre-installed. Though I did in stall Final Cut Express (version 4 i think). Also, I purchased Aperture in September 2011, so I don't think it is Aperture 2?

  • Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

    My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open.  Help please.

    You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
    Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

    2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
    If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

  • Yahoo! e-mails will not open?

    A certain number of e-mails will not open in my Yahoo! Mail inbox using Mozilla Firefox. The page says done, and there's nothing there except a blank white screen. If I put the e-mail in trash and then try to open it, it usually works. This is very strange? I am a new Mozilla user and never experienced this with IE. I was guessing that maybe it's a firewall issue or similar, but would then guess it would have happened with IE?

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Mail will not open in old PPC after migration to MBP

    Hi,  I had my data migrated from my Mac 10.5.8 PPC to my new MBP this month.  Everything is fine on new machine.  I want to be able to use old PPC too, but mail will not open.  I can send and receive, but not open any emails.  Any ideas for a fix appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Did you use Time Machine for backups?
    Did you use Time Machine to transition to the MBP?
    How did you copy the files?
    Maybe there was a permissions glitch when you moved them?

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

    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

  • My iPad mail will not open.  Have restarted, but still will not open

    My ipad 2 mail will not open.  Touch mail, it moves to mail for a couple seconds then jumps back to main menu...  Have restarted and reset, but does not change anything.

    Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you might want to consider deleting the account and adding it back in - or going into your account on a computer - using webmail - and look for an email that has a large attachment that might be causing problems and causing the mail app to crash.

  • Mail will not open with icon

    Mail will not open when I click on the icon. "Mail" appears in menu bar and in force quit but nothing happens. Please help. I am using Mac OSX 10.7.5.

    Will it open directly from the Applications folder? If not, try re-installing the 10.7.5 Combo updater. It's OK to re-install the update over your existing OS, but before doing so, ensure you have full backup you can restore from should the need arise (it shouldn't, but it's always a good idea to have a recovery plan in place before you need one).
