Notes v 10.6.2 - opens but no content, wont close

10.6.2 on MBP
syncing to iPhone regularily
suddenly, Notes via Mail app open but no content in them, wont close
no content means none in Preview Pane and none via 2x clicking
(dialogue in Prev Pane says "Loading..." but nothing ever does
ALL Notes behave this way
tried:
1. deleting ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file
2. DU - Repair Permissions / Verify Disk
to no avail

yes it and Notes work fine on a virgin user account
I did a full restore of the entire MBP from my Time Machine 12-19-09 backup, sadly, to no avail. Since I didnt have this issue on that date, I cannot understand why it didnt work, ie, the problem was still there. Wierd !
To get my mail working properly again, what I did was delete the problem account, recreate a new account with same username, and am trying to restore folder by folder from Time Machine. This is not working very well:
1. Calendar - restoring from the Application Support/Calendar folder causes a spinning beachball
2. key desktop folders with my data - Im told that "The operation cant be completed because you dont have permisson to access some of the items".
3. Contacts - its not obvious how to restore my contacts - where are they ?
4. restore vs copying from the actual Finder window of a Time Machine backup isnt clear. In any case the Finder level copies yield the aforementioned error and seem to put some random number of successful copies of folders into any root folder. Not good.
Ive got a real mess on my hands now, and Ive already spent hours and hours unsorting this thing.
you are having all these permissions problems because the new user you created has a different UID than the old one. UID is different from username. it's a number. the first created user has UID 501, the second has 502 etc. UID's are what determines permissions, not user names. we can change the new user's UID to align with the old one but we need to find out what the old one was. how many users did you have. was the old user the first created on the computer?
btw, contacts are stored in homedirectory/library/application support/address book. just restore the whole directory. but don't do this yet and don't copy stuff from the TM drive via finder. use the TM interface only.

    My mail won't open but it won't close on my finder bar...won't let me shut down my Mac.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

  • Mail keeps resetting when I close it. I delete an account and tell my notes not to show in the mailbox but each time I close the mail program or restart the computer the mail account comes back and the preferances reset.

    I delete an account and tell my notes not to show in the mailbox but each time I close the mail program or restart the computer the mail account comes back and the preferances reset.
    I have deleted preferances. I deleted the account using the - sign in system preferances. I make the account inactive, close mail and relaunch and it is active. I have using the email and installed a new ssd system drive. I was able to change some of the mail program settings but then it just quit letting me change and save them. When I delete it in the mail program, it asks it I want to remove it for good, I say yes.

  • Mail not responding.  App is open but will not quit or respond in any other way.

    My Mail app is not responding.  The Dock shows that Mail is open, but I cannot get the screen to pull up, quit or otherwise respond.  I tried to restart, but Mail stops that from happening.

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ Force Quit...
    then select the frozen application from the list and press return.

  • Firefox will not connect to websites, it opens but will not go to sites, just keeps cycling

    None of the browsers (Firefox, IE or Chrome) will connect to websites. They open but just keep cycling

    I have tried all of the options in that first link you showed and none worked. I also configured my firewall (Windows Firewall) and ensured firefox was in the "Allow" list, which it was. I still have the issue.
    I did notice something interesting though. When I first checked the firewall, Mozilla firefox wasn't on the list at all. I had to manually add it and then made sure it was allowed to connect to the internet. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I never got one of those windows notifications asking me if I wanted to add a rule for firefox. Checking the firewall settings again, firefox was still absent. I don't think it matters, firefox doesn't work with no rules at all in the firewall, or if I manually add the rule and allow firefox to connect.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • I can open my yahoo mail inbox, but not an email sine i downloaded firefox 4, likewise facebook opens but without content ie just logo

    internet explorer works ok

    UPDATE:
    After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
    I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
    There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
    And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

    What video card is your Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit) computer using? NVIDIA GeForce or other?
    Please check the Device Manager/Display Adapters to confirm the video card/graphics card and how many cards.
    Is the card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? And, do you have QuickTime (latest version) installed on
    the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Are you  using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    Please consider the above and then we can decide what next.

  • Finder wont open, desktop empty, itunes wont close

    Hi all,
    I'm having troubles with Finder after istalling a program allowing to pull off music from my ipod. Suddenly error 14..something came up saying my system had been compromised.
    Since then I can't open my Finder, desktop is empty, itunes doesn't shut down. Everything else is working just fine.
    does anyone here can help?
    thank you!

    Can you post the error message in full.
    Also try to start QUicktime. iTunes can't work without it. Does Quicktime start and work normally? If not describe what happens and give any error message in full.
    Then head for your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. If you get an error message post it in full.
    If your QUicktime works normally, then this Apple help is a good start for troubleshooting launch failures.:

  • I have checked the warn me when closing firefox with multiple tabs open but the system does not warn me and closes all of the tabs?

  • Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

    After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
    Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

    hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
