Return/enter will not open message in Mavericks Mail

I used to highlite a message in my inbox and then use the up/down arrow keys to choose a message. I would then hit the return (enter) key to open that message. It no longer opens the message. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what now?,

itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what do i do?

Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Mail will not open message viewer or drafts

Hello. I work on a 27" IMac 2.66 GHz 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running Mavericks 10.9.5. Since installing the latest update mac mail has been running VERY slowly, even lagging substantially as I type. Then in the last couple of days it has seemingly launched but no windows, no message viewer are visible. I can quit it or force quit or restart the computer but it still will not open any windows. I tried shutting off iCloud mail sharing yesterday and lo and behold it worked again. But today although iCloud mail remains shut off it will not open. I have opened the console and here are the recent messages:
(it seems to suggest I am out of cpu space? of a 1TB SATA disk I have 387.21 GB free of 999.35
Your assistance in fixing this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

IPhoto (9.5.1) will not open in OSX Mavericks

Grateful for some help. A few months back we had to take our Mac into Apple store because TimeMachine wasn't backing up. They ran loads of diagnostics and said problem was a corrupted OS. We backed up everything and they loaded OS X Mavericks on for us. They then re-loaded everything from our back-up. Everything seemed to work ok except Iphoto which would not open. We called the Apple Support people who talked us through some steps. They couldn't identify the problem but said they could solve it by creating a second iphoto library (2). They did this and whilst it opened ok all of our old folders had disappeared.
However now (few weeks later) iphoto will not open at all. I have tried to access it through the desktop, Applications, finder etc but no joy. I've read through various community conversations and see that there has been problems with OSX and iphoto. I've tried downloading Library Manager Upgrade 1.1. but when I try to run it says my version of iphoto doesn't need it.
Details:
iMac 27" Mid 2011, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 (13C64)
IPhoto V9.5.1
Any help please!

Try this:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. Unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old).
Credit to user photosb189 for that.

If you are (ugh!) referring to Symantec's Anti-Virus software for the Mac, this when installed runs behind the scenes and does not require the application to be open all the time. Therefore the solution might be to not run it at login at all. That will certainly 'hide' it.
[Why don't Apple have an emoticon for retching? I don't know which is worse Symantec or McAfee.]
Typically you just get a small symbol in the menu bar near the clock to show it is installed and active. This certainly was the case when I was unfortunately required to use it at one organisation, it is also true for most if not all other makes, e.g Sophos.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

IPhone Email Alerts Will Not Open Message

Having odd problem with alerts on my iPhone 4s. Whenever I receive an email alert in the lock screen, swiping it, then entering my password, always opened the message. Now, however, it will only open the aplication and I have to select the inbox and then the message to read it. Would appreciate any suggestions on how this might be resolved. I made no changes to my notifcations or settings, which makes this even more mysterious! Thanks in advance for your help.

Beginning this morning, Friday, May 27, Firefox will not open message links in Delphi Forums. Instead it wants me to download. IE is able to connect to the links.

I don't know what else to tell you. Firefox connects to Delphi successfully, but, when clicking on the "2 new" message link, I get a box asking me to choose the software to open the link. But the link is not a document, it is a link.

Own CS5, will not open, message says, "Some of the application components core missing from the Application Directory. Please reinstall the application". What do I do?

What now? Can't get a phone number to contact Adobe???????????????

Hey Cal do u have a windows box or apple? Do you have the compressed files from the original download or a backup or image of your computer? Last question for now-please describe the events that led up to the error message in your original question. Like " my girlfriend was mad at me and while I was cleaning up some photos in CS5 she cut the electric to my desktop!"
there is a chance if its a windows box and its running the OS win7, win 8, win8.1 and the systems restore setting turned on that if you can remember the last time(date) that CS5 worked: restore it(the computer) to that date or before that date. Also is there are some other options if its a mac but i need to know the operating system version and other info as to what other software is on your machine plus similar info like sw such as mackeeper, boot camp. parallels that another adobe community member(Bo LeBeau ) alluded to.
Provide me more info and i can/will help you! maybe even a way to minimize your cost of paying for adobe support if that what you wanna do.
Another vector that may be worth the effort is: find out generally or exactly what components are missing/corrupted from the application core sometimes there can be confusion(zip software posing as malware) or use in the mac and windows world of wrong procedures and use of decompression of compressed( ie winzip vs winrar) files that lead to CS5 working and all of a sudden not working. Last even installers can get flaky over time. So i know you wanna handle this so u can use CS5; but I need some more info. Have a good one! later and greater!

Are you trying to set up a new mail account?
OR
