Safari and Mail will open but Firefox will

Just opened Power Mac G4 with 10.4.11 but Safari nd Mail will not open. Firefox will open and browse. What could be the problem?

Hi,
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If there's enough disk space, might be a good idea to check the disk in case it needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities)  Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions at this link.

  • Firefox 29 When I right click to open in a new tab, the tab will open but it will be a blank page. Tried Firefox Safe Mode & with Ad On Disabled Nothing

    When I right click to open in new tab, the new tab will open but the page is blank. I have tried it in Firefox Safe Mode & with Add Ons Disabled, still doesn't work.

    Hi UKBlue,
    Is your new tab page set to about:blank? You can change this from the about:config page or you can restore defaults by resetting Firefox.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Outlook and icloud contacts and mail sync OK but calendar will not.  Why?

    I have Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 PC.  iCloud syncs Mail and Contacts with my iP4 and Outlook without any problems but Outlook Calendar will not.  iCloud set up procedure worked fine with Contacts and Mail.  But when setup is run for Calendar, a message pop up says that iCloud Mail must be "enabled" in Outlook before Calendar can be synced.
    iCloud Mail has been setup on iP4 and in Outlook.  I can send and receive test messages to "me.com" from the iP but can't send test messages from the "me.com" account setup in Outlook.  When I try to send a test message from Outlook mail account setup a dialog box asks for my "me.com" password which I enter but then asks me again and again until I finally give up.  So, I think I've set it up but clearly, it's not been "enabled" to allow syncing with Calendar even though Contacts and Mail seems to work.  BTW, Outlook navigation pane (left side) shows an iCloud folder in both Contacts and Mail but NOT in Calendar.  Which shows, I think, that Calendar has indeed not been enabled.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • When openning a PDF file, a new tab will open but it will be blank, it does not download or open any pdf files, this just started the last 3 days....!!!!

    Hi,
    I am on the verge of deleting Firefox from my computer as it has wasted hours of my time, and none of the online trouble-shooting answers are of any help.
    Until recently I could open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not even download if I choose to download it.
    This issue has been going on and off for nearly a year, and I downloaded Nitro PDF add-on to solve it previously as the Adobe reader add-on didn't do anything. Today In the options menu of applications where I can select the program I want to open the PDF files with I can no longer find the NitroPDF reader as an option, so I choose the Adobe add-on and no matter how many re-starts it refuses to initiate any PDF files, all I get is a open and empty new tab.
    Internet explorer opens PDF files fine, so I know its not computer related.
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.
    If there is a way of fixing this, please help because currently I am at the end of my patience.
    Regards,
    Emre

    Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
    I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
    If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
    Cheers again..

  • Downloaded books in DE format will not open in app on PC. The DE window will open but there will be nothing inside.

    I recently downloaded DE to use an e-book I purchased on my PC.
    The book downloads and is instructed to open in DE. The DE app window pops up, but there is no book, and I am unable to move the book to the app.
    The DE is authorized.

  • Trouble launching other apps when Safari and Mail are open

    On m wife's iMac, running 10.5, she runs Aperture quite often for photo editing. After a couple of days working in Aperture, she finds that the when more than any two apps are open, she can no longer open anything else. Any ideas on what could be causing this slowdown or is there a setting I can help her adjus? Thanks!

    Instructions should be on one of those gray discs that shipped with her machine. See

  • Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

    Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
    Help. Anyone? Please?
    Thanks

    HI,
    Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
    With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
    If that doesn't help, locate these files.
    com.apple.Mail.plist
    com.appple.Safari/plist
    Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Safari and Mail Unresponsive after an hour or so of use

    I haven't seen this yet. After some time both Safari and mail become unresponsive. I will be in the middle of either surfing the web or checking email and safari or mail (open windows) will disappear from the desk top but remain open in the dock. When I click on an open page in my dock the page will shut down. This will go on with each page that i try and bring forward, and safari will not respond. As well, mail will become completely unresponsive as well. Although it remains open in the dock, no amount of clicking on the icon or trying to bring a new viewer window forward will work. I must shut down and log out in order to get everything to work again. I've reset my sync, i've reset Safari, I've run disc warrior and cleaned up the permissions but nothing seems to interrupt this process. It happens several times a day, usually when i am trying to do work.

    Why is my computer slow?

  • Safari and Mail will not open.

    Just opened Pwer Mac G4 with 10.4.11 but Safari and Mail will not open. Have all software updates. Firefox open and browses. What could be wrong?

    Hi-
    Try booting in Safe mode and see if the applications work there.
    Hold Shift while starting to boot to Safe mode.
    If things work, reboot normally and see if the issue is resolved.
    If not, download and install the 10.4.11 Combo Update and install (again is not a problem).
    This should correct any issues due to absent files.

    downloaded yosemite and mail application not responding? will not open can any one help?

    Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.
