Not Able to use Mail.app
Hello to everyone. After been browsing this site and google for about 2 days I have decided to post this message and see if someone can help me fix the problem I am having. My mail.app has been not working for me ever since I got my new mac and migrated all my information from my previous mac and applied all the new updates to it. When I open the mail.app the main window does not come up unless I go to view and click the view reader window option. I also can't add a new email account from the preference panel. I click on the "+" sign and nothing happens and on at the bottom of that screen it reads <do not localize>.
I have already deleted all the apple.mail.plist files as well as the ones on the preference folder and the cache and mail folder and try to re-install the mail app from the Leopard DVD and did no solve the problem. I also tried fixing permissions and nothing (haven't try fix disk from the boot of the Leopard DVD but will try tomorrow after I get off work). Any other recommendations?
Also please noticed that I also did create a test user and open the mail from inside that account and mail works perfectly, so I don't know if maybe something is screwed up inside my user folder or what. Please reply back if you have any other ideas or if you know of a solution to this problem. I have also notice that my mac crash every time I try to use yahoo messenger too, maybe that could be related to the mail.app problem that I am having.
_*I did what you told me and here is what it says right after i open the mail.app_:*

Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

Is anybody else still not able to use the App Store? I can't download nor update any apps. I have an IPhone 5 device not currently updated to iOS 7 as my partner also has an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 and it seems to have some issues at the moment.

I just update my ipad 1 to software version 4.3.3. I am not able to use any apps on my ipad now. What do i do ??
You could close all your apps on the taskbar and then try a reset.
To close apps completely, from your homescreen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar; press and hold one of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds so that they start to shake; press the '-' symbol in the top left corner to close each app; touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to close the taskbar.
To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try restoring from your backup. -
I use Google for my email. The Mac Mail system is redundant, and alerts me to the same alerts I get from Google. I quit the app, yet it still manages to open itself up and inundate me with my alerts.
How can I just shut down Mail all together...or am I going to screw with my other email accounts?If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari
okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask. -

I am not able to update my apps because every time I am doing this, it is asking for a password which I have never used and the person who used it is in no more contact. how can i get my id instead of his??
Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

After updating my iphone 5s to ios 8.0.2, I am not able to use watsapp and line properly, iphone automatically comes out of the apps after few mins. Please suggest how to fix it.
I had this same problem with what's app. There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8. Update the app, or delete it and re-add it. I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

i am using i pad mini. I am going through a issue in which i am not able to send mails to my work email add wherein i am able to receive emails from same email id.
With one mailbox server in the production site and one in the DR site, you do not have high availability. If the main site goes down, the cluster loses quorum and all databases dismount. You must then force quorum or move the file share
witness to restore quorum.
I can't tell you why what you observed happened. At the time of the problem I would have been looking at the transport queues to see what's queued and to where.
I recommend you look at the configuration of your send connectors to ensure that none of them are dependent upon the DR site server.
To send mail outside, you must allow relay. To do this, I recommend you create a new receive connector that's configured to allow relay and restrict access to the application server to keep anyone else from using it to relay. There are plenty
of articles on the Internet that describe how to configure a relay connector.

I had deleted my Apps Icon from the phone as I was trying to update the new version iOS4.3.
However, after deleteing the Icon, I am not able to install the Apps Messenger again because I am not able to use the IOS.4.3 diagnostic password sent via email.
Installation was rejected because I need the iOS.4.3
Thanks for your help
MichaelThat situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

I tried adding username and password in the SMTP server settings,But those optiopns are greyed out.
So, i am not able to enter anything in fields under SMTP server settingsYou probably have changing settings disabled in Restrictions.

Not able to update any apps from new apple id.. Old id im not using anymore., cannot access the old one.. But during update time asking for same old password of old apple id
If you change your Apple ID, all the apps you purchased with the previous ID will no longer updatable for you and this problem will continue. You see your old Apple ID because you are likely still using some of the apps purchased on that ID.

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:
