My mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  Mac Book Pro

My Mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop.  My Accounts both show as marked in accounts.

Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter  ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)
Post back there may another thing to check.

  • My firefox custom page does not come up when i click the firefox icon w/mac

    Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
    To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
    Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
    Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
    After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
    After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

  • My mail app won't come up when i click on it.

    My mail application won’t come up when i press on it. But when i click on mail the mail bar still comes up at the top of my screen. This is also preventing my macbook to shut down as well. It says the mail application has canceled shut down. What do I do?

  • Firefox Windows Won't Come Forward When Taskbar Button Is Clicked (Solution)

    I posted this issue once before, but the thread was closed, so I am opening a new thread so that I can share the solution.
    My problem was that many of my Firefox windows wouldn't come forward when I clicked their taskbar buttons. What that meant was that the content of those windows was permanently lost to me since there was no way to look at them. Reducing the number of windows by closing the ones I could access didn't seem to work.
    After complaining here in the forum, I discovered that I had a virus on my computer. I believe it was a root-kit virus, but I don't remember for sure (I don't think the type of virus will have much meaning to most people anyway). Blocking windows and programs from opening is a common behavior of viruses. In fact, many viruses will prevent your anti-virus program from opening, so there is no way for you to scrub the virus from your computer.
    All the anti-virus companies (AVG, Symantec, McAfee, etc.) now offer a service where one of their technicians will access your computer remotely and scrub any viruses from your computer. The cost is in the range of $100 to $150. I paid AVG $135 (I found out later that other companies were cheaper). The technician was in another country (the Philippines, I think). Despite that, the technician was very competent and did a good job of eliminating the virus. Once the virus was gone, all my windows opened without a problem. After this experience, I called around to the other companies and found that some of them use technicians in India and some in the Philippines.
    So if you are having the problem of programs or windows that won't open, this is the solution.

    Thanks for posting that solution!

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

    Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
    Always install from scratch, from the original media,

  • Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • When I click the Firefox icon, 10 seperate instances open, how do I stop this?

    When I click the Firefox icon, 10 seperate instances open

    Check the Home page setting:
    * [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    See also:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    If multiple windows open then there can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

    i woke up in  the morning and my iPhone said i have to activate it but when i click the activation icon it says oops try again later

    Exactly the same issue here in Hungary. I have the iOS 7 Developer release. I think this has to do something with the iOS7 Activation lock, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 I just don1t get why I cannot unlock with my password.
    Restore is not available in iTunes as I have the find my phone turned on on the device, it says I should disable the feature in the iPhone, but I'm not able to "log-in"

  • I am receiving emails, but nothing opens when I click the email icon

    When I click the email icon, a blank email screen pops up for about 10 seconds, then shuts down and goes back to the main screen. I have restarted the iphone, closed the applications and even checked my emails online. Nothing seems to be working. Any Ideas?

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for your phone to boot back up.   then check the emails.
