TS1627 Mail on iPad is stuck. Cannot sync or evenrevert to resolve problem.

1. Mail on iPad2 is stuck, really stuck, for days. Cannot sync or even 'revert' to resolve problem. Error message on iMac insists mail is in use.
How can I get it out of use?
2. Mail on iMac OSX 10.5.8 is missing from applications file, although it remains in the dock and I can launch and use it normally.
Finder is unable to locate it.
Tried Apple support, but nothing available to restore mail app. Possibly, this is reason mail cannot sync with iPad2?
3. In separate issue, I downloaded update for wife's newer iMac OS X 10.6 machine. Immediately, download created a problem for Mail 4.5 on her machine.
Error message complained that Mail 4.5 was (no longer) compatible with this computer. Seemed impossible.
Tried Apple support, but nothing available to restore mail app.
Blogger indicated file to download and that appeared to install (or activate) Mail 4.6.
Mail service was restored, but it has a number of problems problems. For one, it does not open certain emails, but gives the last message viewed.
Has anyone had this experience? If so, can it be resolved?
We have happily used Apple Mail for years and are surprised to encounter so many diverse difficulties at one time.
As usual, I assume that the fault lies with my ignorance and mismanagement.
I have recently purchased and installed a new (Netgear) modem. Mail has worked on all devices prior to this breakdown.
Thanks for helping the handicapped.
John

Good stuff...
For any other applications you may have trouble with... running in Vista Compatibility mode is done by locating the programs installation directory and then locating the .exe file in your system...then right click on that .exe and a window will appear...goto the compatibility tab and then choose either XP or Vista as the compatibility mode...

My ipad has latest iTunes (11.1) but iTunes on my computer (mac 10.5.8) is now no longer compatible with ipad software and cannot sync. The same error message appears saying my computer needs to update software, but my mac has the latest software available (albeit rather old). Can I undo the software update on ipad??? Thanks

Thanks for your response, Niel. Is there no way of removing the last update from my ipad????
Appreciate your help

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

Make sure you go into "Settings" on iphone and update things that need updated info, like icloud. Turn your iPhone off and on. Beyond that, good luck. I had to go into Apple store 40 mins away from me, they still didnt fix.

Since i've upgraded my ipad software, i cannot sync.

I have a 2008 macbook pro running 10.5.8, it will not support any newer version of Mac os. I was prompted to upgrade my ipad this week and where it was running perfectly with my mac, now it doesn't recognize it at all and I cannot re-install the previous os on the ipad. In fact, I get a prompt telling me upgrade my os on my Mac in order to sync my ipad. Since I can't do that because my macbook pro won't support any newer version of the os and I can't re-install the previous os that was originally on my ipad, I now have an ipad that wont sync. What can I do to get movies from my Mac to my ipad now.
Thanks in advanced,
J

Well, you have a problem because your OS X version is so old.
The latest version of iTunes, iTunes 11.1.3, needs at least OS X 10.6.8. (The current version of OS X is 10.9.1.)
So as soon as you purhcase a newer Mac, and migrate your iTunes library to it, all will be well again.

Flash mail is attached and we cannot get rid of it-HORRIBLE PROBLEMS

FLASH MAIL somehow got attached to Mozilla and even the Apple Care people could not get rid of it. IT HAS RUINED my computer use. Cannot log on without this thing jamming up the works. Apple could not even contact Mozilla for help. Heck of a way to treat a contributor.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

My iPad gets stuck...cannot cancel or send message in mail

My iPad gets stuck...cannot cancel or send message in mail

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPad get stucks on Step 2 (Back up) of sync

Hey guys, I have an iPad 2 and every time I've tried to sync this morning, it's gotten stuck on the Back Up portion of my sync. I've tried deleting previous back ups under Preferences<Devices. I've also tried restarting the computer/iPad... Things just aren't working out. Anyone have this problem before?
I'm running iTunes 10.7 and was able to already successfully sync this iPad on 10.7 previously. For some reason, it's just not working today. Also, I'm running 10.8.2 on my iMac.

I am having the exact same problem, same MacOS version. iPad 3 w/ iOS 6. Had this same problem a few days ago, I restored my iPad and it worked for a few days and then it happened again today. VERY frustrating as I obviously cannot transfer anything to my iPad.

HT201210 I was downloading IOS to my ipad 2 and now my ipad is stuck and cannot be used. HELP?

I was downloading IOS 6.1 to my ipad and now my ipad is stuck and cannot be used. HELP.
It shows on the screen that it is plugged into itunes.
How do I get my ipad working again?
How can I download IOS 6.1 succesfully?
Thanks

Double tap the home button and find the mail app. Drag the app up from the multitasking display to close the app. Then reboot the iPad and try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iPad gets stucked in the last step of the sync with the computer.

When connecting the iPad to the computer the iTunes starts, reconizes my iPad and starts the sync of the iPad.
It syncs the contacts, calendars, pictures, music, etc, but in the last step (7th; "finishing Sync") it stucks and stays for ever without finishing.
I cannot load a previous backup because as soon as I connect the iPad to the computer the Sync process starts and no button is available.
I've tried to load again iTunes to start from the begining but it is still saying the same, that the Sync process is finishing and is blocked there.
Any help?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Demo,
I've tried what you say but, if I'm doing it right, it doesn't work because after rebooting it goes again to syncing and stucks on the last step.
Nevertheless let me check if I'm doing it right; When you say "Before you restore from the backup, quit iTunes, ...." you mean "Before" or "After" because I don't understand how I could reboot the iPad BEFORE I restore from the Backup if it is already restoring.
Just let me write down the procedure to check that it is the right one:
1- I launch iTunes (iPad not connected) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and I check the box to Prevent the iPad to syncing automatically. I click OK.
2- I quit itunes.
3- I connect the iPad to the computer.
4- I launch iTunes.
5- I go to Restore from Backup
6- Restore from Backup is finished
7- I quit iTunes
8- I disconnect the iPad from the PC
9- I reboot my PC
10- I reboot my iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons... iPad stars.
11- I connect the iPad to my PC.
12- I launch iTunes
13- I click on sync button.
If the procedure is right then my problem must be another one because when I do it and it starts syncing again the same problems comes back again and the syncing never stops at the last step.
Thank you anyway for your time and support.
Best regards,
Francisco
