  • Mail 2.0 will not open or respond

    My computer was off for a couple of months. I turned it back on and tried to open mail 2.0. On the Doc the mail application appeared and a black arrow appeared below it. The arrow did not flash twice like it does with the other applications. It just stayed solid and the mail bar at the top of the screen appeared. The mouse cursor turned into a rotating beach ball. I waited for awhile and nothing happened. I grabbed my install disk and tried to install the mail PKG. It did install Mail again. Actually it said updating. Afterwards I still had the same problem. Is there any way to get it working again without doing an entire system install?

    Have you recently installed, removed or disabled any fonts?
    If there is a problem with a required font for Apple applications to launch and/or function properly, this type of problem can occur.
    Regarding targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    Launch Mail and decline the prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
    If the Mail.app launches successfully and after confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    If this doesn't resolve it, then it may be a problem with a required font.

  • Flash CS6 professional iOS Player Settings will not open.

    Please Help.
    I am unable to open the Player Settings pane for iOS.
    I can get to the Player Settings for Android and everything else, but if I try to open player settings for iOS, at first nothing happens and then after a while Flash IDE crashes.
    It was working at one point yesterday. I was resolving an issue I had related to provisioning profiles. And then all of a sudden I am unable to get to this panel.
    I have run uninstall, and CC cleaner and removed all things Adobe from my machine and did a fresh reinstall of Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium.
    I started a brand new project and still, no Player Settings pane for iOS.
    Please Help!

  • Since updating to iOS 6.0.1, email app will not open and other problems.

    Help! Since updating my phone to iOS 6.0.1, my email app will not open, my email/contacts/calendar settings will not open, my touchscreen is unresponsive, my battery is draining in two hours time, and my delete button only works one letter at a time (can't hold down to delete easily). I've done a soft reset and I've restored twice to no avail. This is a MAJOR problem! I'm not wanting to pay for the apple care since this may result in upgrading to the iPhone 5 (last option) and the closest apple store is an hour and a half from me.

    This seems to be a common problem.
    I am suffering too!
    It would seem to be very shoddy from apple to allow such problems.
    Not the first issue since upgrade to iOS 6.....think home button problems.
    Has anybody got news of a fix?

  • I have a macbook pro 10.8.5 and the Application Safari will not open no matter what i do, I try to open the menu of Safari but it won't let me either, the mouse will just be loading. Each time i open it, it says "Application Not Responding"

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • Firefox will not open now - I just updated my privacy settings, and cleared cookies - what happened?

    I changed the privacy settings on Firefox preferences, including clearing cookies, history and cache, and now Firefox will not open at all. It said it had to restart after one of the privacy changes, but it didn't and now won't open by the dock icon or thru applications. What happened, and how can I correct the issue to start using Firefox again? Thanks.

  • After latest update, Itunes will not open unless I allow itunes to change screen settings on my laptop. How do I stop this?

    I have upgraded to the new version of Itunes 11.1 and everytime I try to open it it asks me to allow changes to be made to my computer. If i click yes it changes my screen size to 64bit so I cant see half the page. If i change the settings back to normal it works until shut down itunes and the reverts back to odd settings. If i click no it will not open at all. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same thing keeps happening. Can anyone help me please?

    Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

  • After searching in Google, resulting links will not open, get a 'Firefox not responding' message. What is the solution? Ray Allum

    After doing a Google search for web sites, the reultant links will not open, a 'Firefox not responding' shows in the URL bar.

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

    You might try the obvious, although I have seen memory sticks fail.  Good luck.
    1)Remove the memory stick
    2) Shut the computer down
    3) Restart the computer
    4) Login
    5) Re-insert the memory stick
