Newer version of Mac Mail?

Don't ask how, but I somehow deleted MAIL (and a bunch of other applications) from my computer, and had to reinstall all of the software. Now, when I click on the mail icon, it says "you cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X".  I have a 10.5.8 and reinstalled with the original CD's. What now??? Everything else (all other programs/apps) seem to be workingagain. Not being able to open & access my mail is rather inconvenient! Any suggestions?

Yes, I used the disks that came with the mac, I also used the iLife '09 disc, since that is newer.  As for upgrades, I don't think I have... I do have regular updates done automatically though... I really am kinda clueless! Things that seem like they should be simple just aren't. Any thoughts for me now???

  • How do I know if I need to pay for new version of Mac Os

    I bought a MacBook pro in June last year (2011) - a month before the new version of Mac OS came out. I paid $29 for the update, however a few days later, I got an email from apple telling me about a free update to the version that I had paid for. I feel like my $29 paid last year was wasted.
    As another new version of Mac OS comes out soon, how do I know whether I should pay for the update?
    Is there a specific rule that says for how long a serial number qualifies for free version updates?

    you have to pay for the new update.  It's only free if you purchased a new mac June 11th of this year or later.  You'd have to call Apple if you want to inquire about a refund from over a year ago.

  • Installed new version of Mac OS x and iWeb won't open

    I installed new version of Mac OS x last night and iWeb won't open

    I spent an exhausting night testing programs after updating. My iWeb works as expected after the update. No network problems whatsoever. You may want to see if you are connected to the internet. iWeb opens incredibly slowly when there is no connection. Try opening Safari and see if you are surfing normally.
    Lion hides the Library folders, probably so users can't mess with them. I downloaded the latest beta of Onyx and was able to get the Library folders to show again.
    The only problem I had were some font issues. Do you have a font manager installed? Lion installs its font program and it is set to automatically activate fonts. I turned all autoactivation off.
    Lion has no Rosetta and Power PC programs are no longer supported. Do you have the newest version of iWeb installed? I also have been updating my Mac constantly. You may want to run software update and make sure all your programs are current.

  • New Version of Mac Security Available message??

    I am having this message appear on all my Macs...New Version available.  New Version of Mac Security has been downloaded and is ready to be installed.  Please click "install now" to start installation.  This message looks very questionable.  Is it real?  Should I be installing?
    Thanks!

    Is this appearing in a browser window? When the window showing that message is frontmost (click on its title bar to bring it to the front), is your web browser the active app? (Look at the application menu, next to the Apple menu on the menu bar, to see what the active app is.) If so, it's a pop-up from some web site you're visiting on all those machines. You can (and should) ignore it.
    If it's not a browser window, can you provide a screenshot? Press command-shift-4, then push the space bar, then click on the window. The screenshot of that window will appear on your desktop, and you can insert it in a post here using the camera icon in the post editor toolbar.

  • Upgraded iPad 2 to iOS6 - asking me to connect to iTunes - when I do, my Mac is saying 'detected an iPad in recovery mode but need to upgrade iTunes to a newer version (our Mac too old to upgrade). How do I restore iPad so I can use it again?

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS6 following a prompt from the application icon. 
    Once that was complete, my iPad asked me to connect to iTunes which I did.  iTunes then told me that it detected an iPad/iPod in recovery mode and I needed to have a newer version of iTunes to restore.
    I've tried before to upgrade to a new version of iTunes but was advised my Mac was unable to support this due to the Mac's age and old operating system.
    How, therefore, do I get back onto using my iPad 'cos at the moment, all I get when I switch it on is the 'connect to iTunes' symbols.
    Help please, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

    During a normal install of iOS 7.0.6 this does not happen but something clearly went wrong in your installation.
    To fix this, connect to iTunes and restore to Factory. Hopefully your iPad will be working again and you can restore your iCloud backup during Setup.

  • New problem forwarding mac mail to gmail since icloud

    Hi, back with mobileme I was able to forward all my mac mail to be imported by gmail. Gmail is now not letting me import mac mail. Is there something I'm missing?

    you can set up gmail as IMAP but you'll have to delete the current gmail POP account and set it up from scratch as IMAP. make sure you copy anything you need and which is no longer on the server from the gmail inbox and Sent mailbox to a local mailbox first. you can make a mailbox in "on my mac" section for that purpose. deleting an account deletes all mailboxes associated with it. then go to mail preferences->accounts and add a new account. in the account setup wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically or it will recreate it as POP again, then create it as IMAP. see this link for correct settings to use.

  • New version of yahoo mail - completely blank contact page (no tabs,columns, or contacts) but on internet explorer works fine

    I just got the newest version of Yahoo Mail and on Internet Explorer everything works fine. On Firefox, the contact page is completely blank ( no tabs, columns, or contact information)

    Yahoo have acknowledged my emails and have now resolved this problem. It was obviously at their end and only started with their new mail client.

  • Mac Mail: Editing a new email kills Mac Mail

    Since yesterday, randomly, many times when I open a new email to edit, the window for the new email opens but it dies immediately and kills the whole Mac Mail. Any thoughts?

    Hello OC User,
    It sounds like you are unable to create a new email message because Mail makes the entire computer shutdown or become unresponsive. I would start by performing a Safe Boot and testing the issue there:
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

    If that works then restart and test the issue again. If the issue persists try removing any log in items you have to see if something is interfering with Mail and test the issue again:

    If it persists, try re indexing the mail box with this article:

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.
