TS3276 Mail on MacBook Pro will not open nor quit to allow the comp to restart
my mail app on my macbook pro will not open and i've had problems with it since day one. i simply use to ignore this problem and use a different email source, but now the computer won't even restart because the mail app will not quit. how do i fix this?
I found that the problem with many gmail installations in Apple Mail (and other mail clients) is related to Google's two step verification process. If you remember getting text codes on your mobile device(s) asking you to verify your email account, this is a possibility for you. You may have to log onto GMail from your browser, got to the "gear" icon->settings->Change account settings->Change password recovery options, then put in your password again at the resulting verification window, and turn off secondary verification via text in the ensuing windows. This prevents the mail client from failing to verify via a password you may not even have access to in order to go online. Once you have done this and saved it, you should be able to send and receive mail and no longer be prompted for your password unsuccessfully over and over. MAke sure, of course, that all your regular email settings are correct again (like FULL email address in user name fields), now that you may have changed lots of things in the vain attempt to overcome this rather obscure problem
P.S., it's a Google issue, not an Apple issue. It seems Apple and Apple Mail hs been getting a bit of a bad rap here for being asked to do the impossible based on what it has been given to work with.
Just another day in paradise!

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -
My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
I have OSx 10.6.8.
I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.

I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help.
To properly uninstall Norton software follow these instructions - Locate Symantic Solutions folder inside the Applications folder at the root level of your HD, launch the Symantec Uninstaller application, select the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate, Norton AntiVirus & Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect entries and click the Uninstall button.
Confirm your decision when prompted and then enter your administrator password in the space provided.
Retart your computer & Norton should be gone for good.
If the above does not work, download a copy of Symantec’s RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility. This utility will launch Terminal & remove the Norton components. -

IPHOTO MACBOOK PRO WILL NOT OPEN
AFTER INSTALLING THE LATEST SOFTWARE..
IPHOTO WILL NOT OPEN ON MY MAC. IT WILL JUST
SHOW THE WHITE CIRLCE SPINNING LIKE IT IS ABOUT
TO OPEN BUT IT NEVER DOES??? ANY IDEAS WHY?Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Please don't type in block capitals. It's actually harder to read, and on the forum it looks like you're shouting at everybody.

Disc Utility app. on MacBook Pro will not open
On my MacBook Pro, I am unable to install the latest update from Apple. It can't find a volume to install it onto. Also, iTunes update to 7.1.1 fails at the same point. When I use auto update, it says computer is up to date!
So I tried to open Disc Utility and it fails to open. I have reported it to Apple. Any ideas?OK, I tried to reset the Pram, and nothing happens! Is it possible that on Intel Macs, we can not set the Pram?
I was always able to do it on my older Macs, but find that there is no reaction on theses very new Macs.
Do you or anyone else have any input on this post? -

Iphone and MacBook Pro will not open App store
I am assuming that this must be a wifi thing. For a while now I was only able to use my iphone with "guest" login from my home network for reasons I do not know... Anyway, both my iphone and my Mac cannot connect to the app store.
I went to the router website/support page and it states everything is working correctly.
Wondering if I did something somehow to have my devices not detect my router/modem?
(And... why only the app store? They both connect to the internet fine.)
Thank you in advance!Which OSX & version. There are several.

MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.
MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.
Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode. -
My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on
Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.
