My Mail app opens unprompted everytime i reboot or awake my macbook pro from sleep. This was not an issue until i shut down my laptop for the first time in a while 2 days ago. ANy ideas how to stop this?

I recently shut down my MacBook Pro for the first time in a long time. SInce then, everytime i reboot or awake my laptop from sleep, the Mail app opens unprompted causing my computer to slow down incredibly, and some apps to freeze. I have no idea how to stop this or why it even started doing this. Any ideas on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I have this problem too with my Macbook Air. Mail opens automatically every time my laptop sleeps. I actually just asked about this in my own thread. However, it is not causing my apps to freeze.

Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this? (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

PS: forgot to mention: if your printer is on your wifi network, you'll have to enter your wifi password on the printer to connect it to the network before Printers & Scanners will see it.
Sometimes a reset of the wifi system is needed too. A full set of directions would be:
Try:
uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple
resist the temptation to install any printer manufacturer apps in the future.

Using time machine for the first time in a while

Hi all,
I just tried backing up my laptop for the first time in ages with time machine. However , it seems to get stuck on "preparing the back up" and never actually starts the backup.
The external drive I'm using has been used before for backups,and the icon is the bluey colour it should be on my desktop as the back up location, however the back up simply won't start.
I should mention that I have upgraded this laptop to another newer model which I since returned and went back to this older model. I also replaced the hard drive, and this is the first time im trying a time machine backup since those two changes
Not many options I can play with so I can't see why it doesn't start the back up...it never took a longtime before to start...
Could it be anything to do with space? Now the comp has about 490gb needing back up and there's only 100gb of space on the ext hd,because there's about 400gb of previous back ups on there. I didn't think this would be a problem though as I understood time machine just erases old backups when it doesn't have space
Any suggestions welcome! Thx in advance!
Both laptop capacity and ext hd are 500gb

Couple of clarifying questions:
1) How long are you waiting?
2) Have you upgraded the OS to Lion?
When I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, the first few time machines took hours 'preparing to backup' before the actual backup to occur. We're talking 6+ hours. I'd usually leave it over night to backup. Even my last fresh reinstall of Lion took about 20min to prepare the first time. Now the hourly backups take maybe 1min total.
My suggestion is to leave it over night and see what happens. It very well could be that the differences between your last backup and current machine state is so different it's taking a long time to determine all the changes.

In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

Automatically cc myself is not checked. I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab. Thanks

HT5312 how do i reset my security answers to allow me to download off a laptop for the first time?

i am trying to download a film for the first time off a laptop but it's asking me for a answers to my security questions which i've forgot.
how do i reset them?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

My iPhone 3GS (iOS5) shows default email as AOL (and sends as AOL) but recipient gets it as my live.co.uk account. Any ideas how to stop this??

I'm having a recurring issue on my iPhone 3GS. Latest iOS is loaded (last night) but for several months now I've noticed that email sent to me on my aol account and read on my iPhone, if i respond it is received from my live.co.uk account. The email reply clearly shows aol as the sending account and under settings AOL is shown as the default. I have even tried deleting my live.co.uk account from the iPhone, but the problem still happens.
It's annoying as further replies then go to my live account and it is just getting messy.
Any ideas on how to stop this from occurring?
Thanks

The default email account selection has nothing to do with the email account used when reply to and forwarding a message received by an account.
Have you tried deleting and recreating the AOL account?

Keep getting "unable to open page" in safari any ideas how to stop this?

I keep getting "unable to open page" in Safari it's most annoying! Can anyone help please.

i haven't done anything in console. i don't really
understand that part of computing.
Console is not something you do anything in, it records what is going , where it logs errors, crashes et.. and where troubleshooting can start from.
I mentioned Looking to see if you had errors logged.
i can access any other site just fine.
The problem, again is Not with Safari or other Browsers, if other sites are fine.
i could understand that it may be the site if i
wasn't able to connect to it from other sources. the
computer are surely online or i would not be posting.
1) I would not be able to know which computer you are posting from.
2) Again I can connect to the site and browse, does not mean there is not something wrong with it.My console produce errors as I have mentioned.
also i just got off the phone with Apple Care tech
support. it seems that because i can access other
sites this is not an issue they will support. so,
That is is because the issue us NOT with Safari , rather your ISP, or your Network Settings.
that means that my problem as well as all similar
problems on this board will not get the attention
Apple Discussion is a User to User Forum, folks that reply to you
are not Apple employees, we all give the help we can & plenty of it.
they deserve. i love apple and this really was quite
a slap in the face. i'm still sorta in shock.
Good Luck.

My macbook is running really slow. It's sluggish and takes forever to attach anything. The soft ware is up to date. Any ideas how to get things moving again?

My MacBook is sluggish. Everything is up to date and it isn't my wifi because the other computers in the house run fine. Does anyone have any ideas to help performance?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You don't mention which applications are running slow, or which MacBook you have.
Did you perform a recent upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or perhaps OS X 10.7 Lion?
Do you let your computer run 24x7? Be sure to reboot occasionally. There are also maintenance scripts that run processes like disk cleanup and spotlight indexing overnight when you leave your computer on 24x7. They will not run if you shut your computer down every night, and then must run during the daytime, slowing performance somewhat.
Is your hard disk nearly full? Less than 10% free space is not recommended, because the system slows down as the hard disk 'finds' free space.
Use Disk Utility to verify and/or repair permissions on your hard disk.
If your hard disk is going bad, that will also slow system performance as the drive retries multiple times to retrieve and save data.
Less than 2GB system RAM memory installed? Open Activity Monitor and check System Memory in the bar at the bottom of the screen. If Page outs and Swap used are in the Gigabyte range, it's a good indication that you need to purchase and install more system RAM memory.

When we are watching something on Apple TV and our Macbook Pro turns on or off the Apple TV goes back to the menu and stops whatever is currently playing. Any idea how to stop this?

Any ideas?

Thanks, but there has to be someway through ITunes or something to make this not happen. It used to not do this so something with an update or something must have changed a setting somewhere. Anyone else have any ideas?
