Why won't mail open when click on icon?

why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

Howdy lpedvm23,
If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Try opening Mail from the Applications folder. Your Dock icon may be damaged.

Hi,
Open the Font Book and check the AppleGothic Font is Active, not duplicated and Validates (File Menu).
In the list of fonts it is a long way down.
After that check Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande.
The first deals with the iMessages Login.
The next is the Font used in the app to display the text.The last is the one that title the Group Bars in Buddy lists (even if you don't show then you need this)
If they check out go to Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility and then Repair Permissions.
This checks them against the database on the Mac which is updated when the apps and OS are updated.

Why won't mail open pps in keynote '09??

Since I installed SL can anyone tell me why, whenever I open a powerpoint presentation in mail instead of opening keynote '09 it opens keynote test drive in version '08 (although I have already purchased '08 and '09 ) and have have both installed on my system. I don't understand why it won't use '09 to open pps docs. If anyone knows of a solution or workaround I would be most grateful.

Thanks for that.
I tried deleting the plist, then 'choosing to open with iwork '09 and change all but still it jumps back to the default '08.
Is there any other way I can change the default to '09?

Why won't Mail open with windows placed where I left them?

I use Mail all day (and night).
I have 3 viewer windows open - one Inbox, one Sent, and one misc set to either Trash, Junk, or drafts.
I place them as nested windows so that I can always see them all and click on the visible top left corner to choose the one I want to work with. Works fine for me.
When I quit Mail and then reopen it either after a restart or after transporting my laptop to a new location, I get all 3 viewer windows to open but never in the same place they were when the application quit. I have to go about repositioning them every time I open Mail.
It's hard to say, but I even think that the viewer windows open in same relative place on the screen that I never "showed" them. But it's always the wrong location.
Is there any way to "teach" mail to open these 3 key viewer windows in the same place every time?
Steve

I did exactly as you described, locating the plist file and moving it from Library/Preferences to the desktop. I logged out, logged back in, and Mail started on the left side of my Dock and then promptly shot to the right. It is now to the left of a Google quick search box, an Applications Folder, a Documents folder, and a Downloads folder. I want the mail icon on the left side of my screen. How can I ensure that?

Why won't iTunes open when I plug in my iPod?

I plugged in my iPod, and if I already have iTunes open, I need to close it because it freezes. However, when I try to re-open iTunes, it will not open. I recently updated iTunes to 7.2 and I also updated my iPod software to the most current one. What should I do? I wanted to restore my iPod, because it kept skipping songs before, but now I can't even open up iTunes to restore my iPod. Please help .

Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with AVG Anti-Spyware, you'll find a free trial download at this link: ewido Networks
You could also look at this page, it may be of some help: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch failures

Hey Patrick, why won't Motion open when I send my project from fcp?

I just started playing with motion... doing the tutorial. The first time I tried the tutorial, it worked fine. The next time, the project didn't save, Motion didn't open.
I tried the usual, repaired permissions, trashed the prefs. But so far, nothing.
(By the way, I just figured you would be the first person to read and respond to my question... you practically own this forum.)
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim and All-
I have the same problem at the same point in the same tutorial. The other tutorials may be better, but I am concerned that, being new to FCS, I am missing functionality I didn't know I should have. Like the commercial said, I don't know enough to know what I don't know about. I am coming over from PremPro and AE, and I am impressed with the wealth of built in features. I don't care for the idea of reinstalling the OS and all of FCS, but if it helps... If there are any answers to this issue, I would be glad to know. Thanks to all-

InDesign files take long to open when clicking file icon

Ok, I have a weird problem with a Windows XP machine running InDesign CS6. Whenever the user tries to open an .INDD document by double-clicking the file icon itself, it takes 3-5 minutes, literally, before the document will open. This is with InDesign running already. It happens with .indd files on servers, locally on the desktop, files with content & links, and even completely new & blank documents.
However, if the user simply drags the file into InDesign, it will open up right away. No problem.
This behavior is not being seen on other WinXP machines, nor is it being seen when trying to open other documents in other applications (i.e. MS Word) on this particular computer.
Any ideas? This machine had Windows XP and Adobe CS6 reinstalled from scratch yesterday.
Thanks!
William

Sad that this issue was never addressed or responded to, for I am having the same exact problem with InDesign CS5.5 and with files located on a network server. I tried the above suggestion of dragging the file directly into InDesign but that doesn't work everytime.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 beta but can't open when clicked on icon or programs list

I downloaded firefox 4.0 beta on my Dell computer ( Vista ) on 2-23-11. I have internet explorer but cannot get into my blackboard learning system at Salt Lake Community college with that. Apparently, firefox is the preferred. My class is online, so this creates a real problem. Help, please, and quickly if possible. Thanks, Sally

After saving the file which is likely called "Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe" you need to run it to install Firefox 4.
If you do not clear the downloads from the download manager, you can run the installer from the downloads manager. Open the download manager, then right-click on the Firefox setup file and select Open. As soon as you start running the setup file, close Firefox. You need to do this so that the setup file can replace the files in the Firefox installation directory.

Why don't apps open when I click?

why don't apps like iBook open when clicked?

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any 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 each app to close them, 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 then you could try 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.

I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
1. Install WMDC 6.
2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
9. ... nothing else! It works!
Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.
Thanks, Joachim

Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

I have checked
Why won't Mail save stationery?
but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.
