OPENING E-MAILS

Is there a program where I can open .jpg attachments without having to open alot of windows? When I receive an e-mail with picture attachments, all that comes up on the screen are question marks, then I have to open all the windows to see pix.

You might get a quicker response if you post your message in the Mail forum…

Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols. Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center. I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center. I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Did you try a Force Quit?
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
Wait. Force Quit window will appear.
Select Mail and click the Force Quit button
Wait. Mail will quit.

What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Click on the green button. Or you adjust from the bottom right to fill the window. With Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can adjust from any of the window edges. Only upgrade to 10.7 or later if you have read this tip:

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts

Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts. When "compose new mail" is selected "loading...." appears at the top then the page is frozen. ie you can't select inbox etc. Changing from standard to basic h/ml then clears the Loading... and gmail can be used (without spellcheck etc).
This might not be Mozilla, but I can access these accounts in standard view on another computer.

Your Gmail account may well be an IMAP account, just like the iCloud mail account. In which case it will work in just the same way as iCloud mail, except that you will have to set it up manually on each device, where as iCloud mail adds the account itself when you log into iCloud.
Whilst it works the same as iCloud mail it isn't iCloud that syncs it for you.

While trying to open the mail , it shows a blank screen then went to home page.

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5 and system is 10.6.8

Mail unexpectedly quits when I try to open the Mail Application 4.5.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
I have tried the suggestions already given on Lists, and nothing has yet worked...

10.6.8 is not Mountain Lion.
How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
Did you happen to download any system cache cleaners? Those can damage its ability to function.
Have you tried repairing permissions?
Is your data backed up?
Is Spotlight indexed?
Is the Mail trying to load an IMAP, POP or Exchange account?
I've requested this thread be moved, no need to repost.

Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

Hi,
I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
Thank you.

Hi,
metalink Note 47498.1 "Programmatically Sending a Fax/Email via Microsoft Exchange" may be a good documentation for you. Have a look in there.

Can't open iTunes, Mail, Safari, and others since Security Update download

I see that this subject has come up in other posts - here's my situation -
I have a four year old Powerbook G4, running on 10.4.11. I downloaded (using Firefox as my browser) Java for OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-02 (Power PC). Since that time, I can no longer open iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Yahoo and MSN Messenger. Software update will not open from the Apple menu, but I can open and run it from the System Preferences panel.
I tried to re-download Safari and iTunes, but the installer won't open the files - just says that the installer closed unexpectedly and to send the info to Apple.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HD (my HD is not the original HD, but a new one installed two months ago), and the device, without any success.
Any ideas in where to go from here?

Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing.
