Since using Maverick OS, I cannot quit mail without "force-quit".

Since I downloaded and started using Maverick OS, I cannot quit Mail without using the "Force-Quit..." command. The "Quit Mail" command under the Menu is greyed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
Select the CPU tab.
Select Mail under Process Name.
Select Mail then click the force quit icon  (circle with an x) top left side of the Activity Monitor window.

  • After installing AdBlock Plus I can't quit Firefox without force quitting - help!

    I installed Adblock plus and immediately noticed several issues.
    It took forever to bypass the NY Times opening ad and get to the real front page - troublesome, and time-consuming but at least I avoided the ad.
    More importantly, I couldn't quit Firefox without force quitting. If I used Command Q or selected Quit Firefox from the menu, I got the spinning beachball of death.
    When I disabled Adblock, the problem persisted. When I uninstalled Adblock Plus the problem was resolved and I could quit Ff in my usual manner.
    Any solutions here or do I just forget about Adblock Plus - too bad, it seems like a great idea even though it slowed down NYT (it was faster just hitting the skip ad button after I uninstalled Adblock Plus)

    Problem solved.
    Trashed folder for Adblock Plus and reinstalled.
    Disabled Status-4-Evar and Adblock Plus works and I don't have to force quit to get out of Firefox.

  • I can't open blank template. Can't quit pages without force quit. Re-installed pages, no change, checked for updates, non needed everything else appears ok

    I can't open a blank template, Can't quit pages without force quit, re-installed pages, no updates needed, rest of program seems to work, any answers?

    Before trying to answer, I wish to check if you are really running under 10.4.11 and in this case, which is the exact application's version in use.

  • When I click the Safari app to open it, I keep getting this popup and I cannot close it without force quitting. I also cannot use Safari at all because this keeps poping up what do I do?

    I will get this popup and when I try to quit it, it will show another popup called MacKeeper.  I always get this ad however I have never downloaded. I am unable to use Safari because of this issue. I have tried restarting and shutting down my computer, but when I try and reopen Safari, I will get the same message and Mackeeper popup. Please help.    It's like these popup ads have taken over my Safari.  I have run multiple scans on my computer and it says no malware detected and no viruses.                                               

    Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect your computer from the Internet and try again.
    Those popups are being opened directly from the web and not by any malware installed on the machine.

  • Cannot close logic without force quit when working in 64bit mode

    Do I have bad plug ins or is this a common thing?
    Cheers Eddie

    You have bad plugins, or you're out of memory, or a bunch of possible reasons. List your specs, plugins and version of Logic/OSX and I may be able to suggest something.

    I had the Mac Defender malware and I have used apple jack but still having issues.

  • Since using FF 5, my File Send link.. has quit working

    Since using FF5, the File > Send Link... has quit working.
    Also, FF 5 takes a log time to start and a really long time to Exit.

    You are singing to the choir! I absolutely agree.
    The only thing that I can think of is the update to 10.4.11 that was made a while back. (don't have the exact date in front of me) Potentially it took this long for all of the adjustments to work there way through - but other than that, nothing has changed.
    THe LAG link comes up and appears to be "up" but no data gets passed. Both the server and the switch are reporting that the link is up.
    I am stumped.

  • Cannot get mail without quitting first.  Any idea why?

    Cannot get mail without quitting first.  Any idea why?

    Does it work?  Well, the beep occurs but no mail comes through without a very long wait.  If I quit mail and re-open it, all the new messages come through.
    Love has nothing to do with this.

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

  • Bypassing 'Parse Error' without force quitting?

    in case a 'Parse Error' is encountered, and oking it drives us into a loop with irresponsive Safari, is there a way to bypass the site without force quitting the application?

    OK. First, never waste your time verifying permissions or the hard drive. Just repair them. Verify does not repair anything.
    Second, your hard drive appears OK. The permissions messages are innocuous as they occur for everyone who installed a Front Row update and/or Java update. Simply put OS X replaced certain folder locations then replaced the original location with alias links to the new location. DU hasn't been fixed to reflect the change so it produces an error message related to these new links. Just ignore it.
    Third, most likely your problem is unrelated to disk or permissions repairs. What you should try is removing cache files. I can make two suggestions here:
    1. Download and install AppleJack - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Read the documentation carefully then follow the instructions.
    2. Download a utility such as Leopard Cache Cleaner and use it to remove system, user, and font caches. An immediate restart is then required during which the caches are rebuilt.
    3. Locate and delete the respective preference files for any applications that continue to quit unexpectedly.
    4. See the following for additional assistance:

    Help - a program quits unexpectedly

  • Since upgrading to IO6 system, cannot download mail from gmail.  Any ideas?

  • Any ideas for Mail must-force-quit bug after 10.5.2 upgrade?

    I've tried many different things suggested on this forum (removing bundles; rebuilding mailboxes; moving Mail folder to desktop for rebuild; eliminating To Dos; creating new Address Book DB). But nothing seems to work. I have to force quit Mail every time. Now it sometimes doesn't check Mail manually either.
    What exactly changed in the 5.2 update that could cause so many problems? Mail is becoming intolerable. I'm not a huge fan of Office, but in 5+ years, Entourage never gave me such difficulties. Come on, Apple!

    OK, I found a solution. If possible, use a webmail account to go in and delete your "To Do" folders, if that is what is hanging your Mail application. I did that with one IMAP account, only to have "To Do" items show up under another IMAP account. That account is on my web host, so I converted the account to POP. After that, Mail started working properly again since it was not trying to sync "To Do" items with various IMAP servers.
    This problem started after upgrading to 5.2, though I noticed others experienced it with 5.0 and 5.1.

  • HT3748 mail requires force quit daily - advice

    I use the latest macbook air all uptodate.
    I use mail with my gmail account as well as three work related exchange addresses.
    After any period of time resting, it hangs and I have to force quit and re-start?
    Common problem?

    This is happening on my home G5, work PowerBook and MacBook over two different POP accounts. Eudora can download the mail but the OS X mail app keeps hanging on messages.
    When I use Eudora to delete the offending message OS X mail simply hangs on another one.
    I was really getting to like OS X as Eudora has grown long in the tooth. But it appears that OS X mail still isn't ready for primt time if it has a serious problem like this.
    I'll keep searching for an answer and call Apple tomorrow since I have some time left on my new MacBook.
