1-Are your having this problem when you first open your computer. Depending on your settings, some apps, like the Mail app, may open automatically when you log in.

1. I've been using Office 2011 on my Macbook. All of a sudden, Outlook won't open. It bounces in the dock, the logo appears for a half a second and then poof, it's gone. It won't open at all. I've restarted my computer twice. All other Office applications work.
2. 3 Open and read texts messages on Windows computer or Mac. Navigate to the web UI from your browser to open your SMS. In 'MessageΓאª' box to type your message response to continue the conversation, while click 'New Message' to start to send a new message.
3. In case you have an iPhone with an active Cellular plan, you can Setup the Messages App on your Mac to Send and Receive carrier supported SMS and MMS Messages from your Mac. Open the Messages App by clicking on the Messages icon in the Dock of your Mac. Leave the Messages App open on your Mac, so that it can receive a security code generated.
4. There are many ways that Messages can break on your Mac. Regardless of the symptoms, the cause is typically the same: a miscommunication between the Messages app and the messaging servers on Apple’s end. With the correct troubleshooting steps, we can straighten this out.
