TS3276 After my update to OSX 10.6.8 my mail app will not open anymore. What can I do? I need it for work!!!!

After my update to OSX 10.6.6 today I am not able to open my mail application anymore. I can't check my emails and I need to work on Monday! Who can help me please? I tried downloading the SecUpd2012-004.dmg and installed it with mail being in the applications folder. Still no luck! I also ran disk utility before...:(
I am not a happy camper tonight!

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

HT4993 After updating to iOS 6.1.3 my mail apps will not open. Help!

My mail apps will not open the update. I have tried deleting my mail accounts and reinstalling, but still no luck.

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
Try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Mail App Will Not Open After 10.10.1 Upgrade

A few days ago I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and ever since my Mail app will not open. It will bounce and show the indicator dot, but no window ever appears.
Has anyone else encountered this?

Reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I did the update to 3.6.11 - when it restarted it will not open any pages. When i go to check for updates it gives me this error: Update XML file malformed (200) - Any advice?

I did the update to 3.6.11 - After it started Firefox it would go to the requested site in the addressbar, but the page would be blank. I went to check for updates and it told me there was a problem in updating. It gave me this error message: Update XML file malformed (200)
I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same problem exists.
Any advice?

For the error message see [[AUS Update XML File Malformed 200]].
As it appears not to be able to load any sites, a possible cause is your firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. For more details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Mail Application will not open after 10.6.8 update

So, I'm currently trying to update my parent's computer and in the process of updating their Mail application it has become unusable. My computer at home (not my parents computer) ran into the same problem before I updated to Lion and deleting the preferences for Mail solved it. Plus, I have read previous posts about this similar problem and a typical troubleshooting solution was to delete the Mail preferences.
After all of my software updates (Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and deleting the preferences for Mail, I still receive the same error message when trying to open the application. "Mail can't be used on this version of mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications foler on your computer." My applications folder has not been adjusted, edited or even touched from it's original state in the dock/home folder.
I contacted AppleCare support and they advised me to reformat my computer. I think that's a little... unneccesary?? It's just Mail that isn't working. The rest of the applications (e.g. Safari, Address Book, iPhoto, etc.) open just fine.
Anyway, do you have any advice or insight to my problem here?
Much appreciated! Thanks!

After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before. Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded. It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly. And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
"Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Check if there are any updates available for the application."
How can I re-install just Mail? A startup disk is not accessible for me right now. Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?

Word will not open anymore after update

Word will not open anymore after update

Hold down the Shift key when launching Word.
If that fails, try deleting this file.
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.microsoft.Word.savedState
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar.
Log In and launch Word.
Still failing...
If Word failed to launch in Guest, then you need to re-install Office.
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.1 Update (If you have an early installer you'll first need to update to 14.1.0)
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update (requires 14.1.0 to be installed)
Important to restart after each updater.

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open. It opens for a second and then closes.
This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine. My question is does anyone know why this might happen. Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
i created the app with version 1.0.0
uploaded it to my server on the net.
hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed
then changed the version number to 1.0.1
uploaded this apk
downloaded and installed to phone
app would then open for sec then close
only fixable by clearing application cache.
I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.
has no one else encountered this?
please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.

HT2693 My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

First of all - you are running the proper iOS in order to use the latest version of Pages - correct? You need iOS 6 now.
If so ....See if this helps. Maybe Pages will open after you try this.
Quit the Pages app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ..... 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 - let go of the buttons.
If that didn't help backup and send your files into iTunes with file sharing.
You could lose all of your files if you delete and reinstall the app. That is precisely why you should backup your iPad and send your files into iTunes using files sharing on the iPad. Do you backup or use file sharing?
Backup your iPad, send the files from the iPad into iTunes using file sharing and then delete the app and reinstall it.

My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5. I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software. After updating, all apps work just fine.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

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 updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated.

I updated Firefox and now it will not open at all. The hourglass shows that it's working but then nothing. I went to add/remove and removed mozilla and reinstalled it and still the same thing. It worked fine before I updated. Now I can't even remove the program at all. Why is this happening?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
