Why Can't I access Mail By Clicking The Mail Icon?

I used to have no problem accessing my Mail by simply clicking that Mail icon on the dashboard. Now when I click I get nothing and instead have to go to a browser and type in iCloud, click on that link which takes me to a page to sign in. Why is that happening? Sure doesn't make it easy to access mail.

That's just it...nothing happens when I click on the Mail app either...I've checked everything in Systems Preferences and it's telling me "mail" is "on" but the only way I can access Mail is going to the iCloud website and sign in

Why can't I access mail via the mail Icon on my desktop?

I can only get mail when I log into my MobileMe account. When I click on the Mail Icon on my desktop,
my Mailboxes are all empty. Was working fine until I changed my iTunes password earlier today.
I'm also getting an error message in iCal: "the server doesn't recognize your username or password."

Go to settings>mail/contacts/calendar>accounts (select MobileMe)>account ( and change your password to the new one).

Why can't I access any files on the other computers

I am currently having trouble retrieving files from other local computers within my area that have Airport cards installed on them (as well as this computer I am currently using, which has the base). While it shows that I have a good connection between the computers on the network, I am unable to access any files from said computers externally, only the local servers show up. Is there any way to remedy this?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Why can't I access my button click method??

I have had this problem a couple of times now and I do not understand what is happening. Here is what is happening.
1) I have a login menu screen - user logs in OK.
2) User directed to another screen where user selects option
3) User directed to a third screen where the user selects a name from a list.
(this part below used to work, now it does not)
4) User double clicks on name in list
5) Javascript presses "select button" and is directed to the selectBut_action()
method in the page Java code.
For some reason, I cannot access the selectBut_action() method now and I do not understand why.
I also have a "select" button that accesses the "selectBut_action() method.
Here is the relevant portion of the page JSP code.
<ui:button action="#{EnrollStaffMain.selectBut_action}" binding="#{EnrollStaffMain.selectBut}" id="selectBut"
       style="height: 24px; left: 960px; top: 120px; position: absolute; width: 48px" text="Select"/>
<h:selectOneListbox binding="#{EnrollStaffMain.userListBox}" id="userListBox" ondblclick="getValue()" size="5" style="height: 400px; left: 1055px; top: 250px; position: absolute; width: 150px">
         <f:selectItems binding="#{EnrollStaffMain.listboxSelectItems}" id="listboxSelectItems" value="#{EnrollSessionBean.userListItems}"/>
</h:selectOneListbox>
<script type="text/javascript">
            function getValue()
                     alert( "Double click" );
                     form1["form1:selectBut"].click();
</script>I placed the alert("Double click"); in the javascript just to make sure it is being executed. It is, but the next line no longer accesses selectBut_action().
What is really irritating is that this exact code used to work. I started binding some other variables to session bean properties and it stopped working.
Here is the "selectBut_action()" method from the Java code for the page
    public void selectBut_action()
        String val = userListBox.getValue().toString();
        textField1.setText(val);
        esb.getGeneralStaffInfo( 3 );
    }I have run this in debug mode with a break at the first and second lines of selectBut_action(), but it does not break at that point.
It looks to me like it is just ignoring the Java for the page. I suspect this has to do with some state that it is in, but to not know how it got in that state or how to get out of it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks..

The IDs are correct. I did not try any of the other suggestions.
I did find out what caused it, but do not know why it behaved as it did.
I resolved the problem by removing the parameter I had bound to the 'selected' field of a drop down menu.
I was hoping to be able to use that to preset the dropdown to the desired item.
So it appears that the cause was an illegal or invalid binding.
It seems a rather peculiar behavior to ignore the action methods instead of posting some meaningless error message with traceback calls through the bowels of jsf like they normally do.

Why can't I access iCloud after resetting the password?

For months now I have not been able to access my MAC email thru Mail from our MacBook Air. After not bothering for a while (have other things to do like most of us) I have reset it again and same problem. I can access it from any (!!) other computer including the iPads, iMac and even my shielded Windows based work computer using MS Explorer... If I try to use Safari to log into the Cloud from the MB Air I also can not get in from the MB Air despite being able to from any other computer.
Can anyone help with this? I would be most grateful as this is more than odd...
P.S. I have deleted the account and tried to add it again using the new password.

OK, no responses (normally quite quick and helpful), could mean this is a unique failure or user error. I have just spent half a day trying to fix and searching on the internet for solutions but see nothing that works. I am close to ditching the Mail and Mac related email system if I can not resolve in the next 2 days or so. This is a big change so if anyone out there knows why this MB Air laptop does nto allow us to log in whereas other computers (Macs and otherwsise do) I would greatly appreciate your advice. I am sure this is an authentication issue but the cause is becoming irrelevant.
Many thanks!

My husband just got me an iPad 2 for Mothers day and today when I tried to sign on it is saying I don't have any cellular data left? I'm at work and we have wi-fi, why can't I access my webmail and the internet with just that?

My husband just got me an iPad2 for Mothers day and today when I tried to sign on to it it said I do not have a cellular data network? I'm at work where we have Wi-fi. Can't I just use that to sign onto my webmail and to get onto the internet?

Why can't I drag and drop to the pages icon?

My MacBookPro is 2 yrs old. Pages is 5.2.

Sounds to me like you are talking about .rtf files. Pages 5.2 does not support .rtf.
TextEdit works with .rtf and iCloud, what is your exact problem?
Please try to be specific. We can't test "things" and "anything".

Why can't I access Google Mail any loinger due to Safari error?

Notwithstanding upgrading Java and Security with the latest downloads, I no longer seem to be able to access Google Mail; when I try I get an error message. The strange thing is that I get the same from Firefox too. Could this have to do with the security update?
Thank you for your help!

HI Felix,
Try maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If Safari unexpectedly quits, it could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Try Open DNS - Free / Basic
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
For Firefox:
1. From the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History... .
2. From the Time range to clear: drop-down menu, select the desired range; to clear your entire cache, select Everything.
3. Click the down arrow next to "Details" to choose what history elements to clear. Click Clear Now.
Repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc! After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later
