HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
There are ways to force an application to quit:
Choose Apple menu > Force Quit, select the application in the list, and click Force Quit.
Hold down the Command and Option keys and press Esc. Then select the application in the list and click Force Quit.
Hold down the Option key and press the application’s icon in the Dock.
After you force an application to quit, try using it again. If it still doesn’t work, try restarting your computer.
I know you posted in the Snow Leoaprd Forum but please take a moment and click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac OS X version you are running. That way you have a forum profile setup. Thanks...
Carolyn

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings?

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)

    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

  • EMBED VS ATTACHMENT IN MAC MAIL

    How do I embed instead of e-mail as attachment in mac mail?

    There is no option to embed in Mail that I am aware of. You can post your query to the experts in the Mail and AddressBook forum here:

  • I am unable to send a PDF attachment using mac mail so that it appears in the body of the email when arrives in the recipient's inbox.

    I attach the pdf file as a view in place instead of view as icon, but it arrives in the recipient's inbox as a pdf icon attachment.  I have heard that there are programs that can make the attachment be viewed in the body of the email, but i have been unable to find them.  Does anyone have any suggestions??  I have called apple care, and been to the genius bar, but nothing.  it seems that if the email is sent from mac mail to mac mail it works, but to any other mail program they only receive the icons.

    new account are created without a password, so asking for it is normal.
    see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/pssswords.html
    Compare the passwords Thunderbird has for the other accounts and see if using the same one is what you need to do.

  • Can I edit an Adobe Acrobat .pdf attachment in Mac Mail before I hit send?

    I have numerous .pdf approval sheets that I attach to a client’s ad in order for each client to approve, sign and fax back to me. I have many different .pdfs made up with only different counties the client will advertise in already in the .pdf. Now the publisher wants the name of each client to appear on each sheet (I have 130 clients). Is there a way of editing the text (to add client name) in .pdf attachment before hitting send in Mac Mail? I don’t want to have to redo so many different .pdf approval sheets each time in order to keep changing just client’s name on the .pdf.
    Thanks,
    Mickie
    Here’s what the body looks like:
    Client  ___________________________________________________
    County     PALM BEACH_______________________________________________
    Signature  _________________________________________________
    Date  ______________________________________________________

  • Archiving/ Saving sent and received Emails in Mac Mail???

    Hello.
    I want to switch web hosts, and before doing so I want to save/ archive all of my past sent and received emails.
    Is there a way to do so?
    I know I can use gmail, not exactly sure how to do so but I bet it's not real hard, but I am wondering if there is a way to actually take all of the emails from my webmail and save them offline? Does Mac Mail do this? Can I save them as files? There are literally thousands of emails, so a way to save them to my local drive would be ideal....
    any ideas?

    You can create a New Mailbox to correspond with each Inbox and Sent mailbox, and then Copy the messages into those. At that point you can have a copy of each message in both the Inbox/Sent and the On My Mac mailboxes.
    However, if your email address will stay exactly the same (is associated with a hosted Domain) then you may be able to merely change the name of the Incoming server in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information and continue with the same accounts. This might not be workable because of the inexactness of when you old/new Host swap responsibility. If not, then remove each original account, set each one up again in conformity with info from your new Host, and then move the messages from the the On My Mailboxes you created above, into the corresponding Inbox and Sent of the new accounts.

  • I have sent an iMessage that was apparently too big. Now the message app keeps crashing, what do I do?

    I have tried closing app from multitasking and restarting the device. Didn't solve a thing..

    You can try turning iMessage off in Settings > Messages and then testing it again. After testing you can try turning it back on to see if it keeps working.
    If that doesn't do it, you'll have to restore the iPhone.

  • I cannot open a PDF attachment in Mac Mail

    I can see the attachment that arrived but I cannot open it on the Mac. I have no issues opening it in webmail under Windows.
    As if this would not be enough I am running into something else hard to understand. On the Mac I could not post this question, it never allowed me to go beyond entering the title for the question. I am now submitting from Windows.... Obviously I was logged in on the Mac. This is like a bad joke, having to report a Mac issue by using Windows because the Mac doesn't even allow me to report the problem...
    Any help for both issues would be appreciated.

    I sent myself 4 attachments (PDFs). Two came across as Icons, two were embedded in the Email. I was able to open and print them all. So maybe there is something "strange" about the one I cannot see/open on the Mac, only on the PC....
    Why is that some PDFs some PDFs come in as icons others are embedded?
    ================================
    Going back to the other topic I had in this thread: I can go back to this thread on the Mac. I tried to post again a new question from the Mac and I CANNOT do it.  It doesn't do anything beyond allowing me to enter the subject.
    I am wondering if there is an administrator for this form who can provide help in the is case. It is really not a good thing for Apple to require that I use a PC to get help for other problems for the Mac....  I do know that this is a user community but it does run under Apple's site, so I would assume that they moderators, administrators, etc like for other user communities who can help in a case like this one. Does anyone know how to access help for the forum? Thanks
    I agree that the one is an anomaly. I have no idea why some are embedded and some are icons.
    When you attempted to post and start a thread, did you go to "new?" That would bring up a template for starting a thread. IMHO, if you are able to post at all, there is no impediment to beginning a thread.

  • HT6154 Updated os now mac mail errors on macbook pro, mac, and iphone

    I recently updated my os on my macbook pro (os 10.9.2) and my iphone (7.1.1), now I am unable to consistently access my email accounts on any of my devices.  My gmail works sporadically, my exchange worked at first, and stopped working on my iphone and my mac.  I have tried deleting & adding accounts that solved the problem for a little while when it first happened, but it has conitnued.  I get pop up errors on iphone including "The connection to the server failed." When I try to add my exchange account, the error reads, "unable to verify account information."  It allows me to save my account info, but then continues to ask for my password and never connects.  On my macbook pro, the accounts will go off-line and I have to regularly use the connection doctor.  I can access all of my accounts through my email service providers.  Any suggestions? 

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Officejet 7610 margins are too big on my Mac

    I'm on my second OfficeJet 7610 Wide Format, because HP couldn't fix this problem the first time, so they assumed it was a hardware issue.  I don't think it is...
    The default margins for this printer are as small as 0.13 inches (3.3mm) based on the specifications.  I use a Mac that runs Maverick.  I have no issue printing, only that I haven't found a way to reduce the margins down to the default dimensions above.  The top and bottom of my prints cut everything off smaller than 0.60 inches.  This is a real issue with PDFs, forcing me to chose the "shrink oversize pages" in order to not have the tops and bottoms cut off.  I should be able to print at "actual size".
    How can I change these margin settings globally??  Making manual margin adjustments in programs like Word, still cut off the tops and bottoms for anything smaller than 0.60 inches.  Please help!!

    What worked for me was selecting index card 8.5x11 on the mac print paper select options

  • Can I change the thumbnail size while I am browsing photos to add as attachment in Mac mail using Mountain Lion OS X?

    I am new to Mac and I love my new computor, but I am still getting used to the features and how to use them more effectively.  I am interested in finding an answer to this because it can take up a lot of time going into preview mode everytime I want to add a specific photo in a folder but I am unsure of which one is the photo I had in mind.

    I don't see a slider at the bottom, but there is a slider above the list and under the thumbnails.  I didn't see it before, thank you!

  • When I print e-mail content in Gmail, the space between letters is too big to read the mail

    Especially Korean letters and numbers have so huge space.
    When I used firefox 3.5 version, I had no problem. But I upgarded into 4.0 version, this problem occured.
    So, I think it is the bug of 4.0 version.

  • Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

    Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
    We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
    The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
    If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
    We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
    We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
    This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
    We need help. Thanks.

    The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
    I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
    See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
    Thanks.
