Address autofill in Apple Mail  is very slow

The autofill when I type an email address in the To: field is slow. The address appears right away, but I get the spinning ball for several seconds thereafter, before I can do anything else. This has been going on since I upgraded to snow leopard months and months ago.

Yep, mine's been doing the same thing for months now... autofill shows options and I select, but the damned rainbow cursor shows up. BUT, I've notice the same thing happens (sorta) in Safari, when closing a second Safari window (spinning cursor) and when I close a Safari tab, the old stuff continues to show for a second or two, then the remaining tab's page appears.

  • When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow

    When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow. Mails take a long time to be send and receive, and the mail boxes disconnect frequently. I am using the yosemite mail server and don't have this issue with user with Maverick.
    Many Thanks

    So let me see if I understood it right... In Mavericks you didn't had this issue, this only happens in Yosemite and you are using Apple Mail, not another mail client. Have you tried in System Preferences > Internet Accounts unchecking and rechecking the email checkbox on your account?? If that doesn't works try deleting and adding your account.
    Sorry for the bad English

  • After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

    After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

    Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
    See if this helps

  • Mail is very slow

    Maybe this has been addressed before and someone can point me to the thread, but here is my problem.
    Downloading mail is VERY VERY slow (just about unusable). I have tried MANY options (IMAP,POP, Mac Mail, Entourage). I have tried different mail servers, I have contact my ISP (Qwest), open different port on firewall, network speed tests are fine. I am ready to give up.
    When I try to download a email that has any decent size attachment, it seems to take forever, or just hang. Has any body experienced these issue. If so maybe you have found a solution. Any help would be GREAT.
    iMac 20" 2.4

    Mac OS X 10.5
    Purchased with Tiger, install Leopard from included DVD (bought day after Leopard release)

    This very serious issue has been addressed in a few other threads on this forum - but unfortunately with no resolution to date.
    Being a dual-CCIE - I know how to and have certainly troubleshot all the possible network configurations issues that could be causing this - they are not the problem.
    Mail is very unstable in Leopard - and all we can hope is that Apple developers are trolling these threads and recognize how critical to business this is - and post a OS update fixing these issues fast.
    Until then .... sigh ... use Thunderbird I suppose?
    Stinks because since switching from a PEECEE in June - I REALLY love Apple Mail.
    If the developers are listening - one other thing I would love to see come to fruition in Mail pertains to creating rules or Smart Mailboxes: Currently you can do a Boolean AND or an OR between conditions in a given Ruleset - but it would be infinitely helpful to be able to create a set of conditions with a AND or an OR WITHIN the conditions, and then create a 2nd set of conditions with an AND or an OR within those conditions - but then BETWEEN the condition sets - do a Boolean AND or OR between them - so something like this:
    Smart Mailbox Ruleset:
    If ANY of the following conditions are met:
    Condition 1 = Subject contains "important"
    Condition 2 = Subject contains "meeting"
    Condition 3 = Entire Message contains "corporate"
    AND
    Condition 1 = Message is in Mailbox "Personal"
    Oh well - Hope the fix comes soon for slowness....

  • Yahoo mail is very slow

    For at least a few weeks yahoo mail has been very slow. It is slow to load the yahoo homepage, but it's worst trying to log into my mail. After I type my email address and password and pressed enter, it can take almost a minute for my mail (inbox etc) to actually load. Then it is also slow signing back out. Have noticed no problems with IE 8.

    If you are running the add-on Maximum Adblock, disable the add-on and restart FF. Cleared up the Yahoo lag issues for me.

  • Is there a fix for Mail running very slow since upgrade to 10.8

    Mail is running extremely slow since upgrade.  Open New Message window (or auto link to new email from another applicatin), click on outgoing email address field and begin to type.  Takes 15-30 secods per letter in the address to populate the field.  Click SEND and it takes up to 2 minutes to send... another 3 minutes to show up in SENT mailbox.  Sometimes completely chokes and have to Force Quit.  Have already run Disk Utility (Permissions and Directory Corruption Diagnostics and Repair), have Rebuilt the Mailboxes, have reinstalled OS 10.8 from Recovery partition.  IT IS STILL CHOKING, HANGING, AND NOT FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.  Any Ideas ??? Please help!

    I have my 'Check for New Messages' set to 'Manually'.  This is a problem with setting up a New Message to send out.  I did go into settings under Composing Tab and unchecked "Automatically Complete Addresses".  This has resolved the issue of the spinning beachball when attempting to enter an email address into the "To:" field.  So, it is running at normal speed now, but I suspect there s a bug related to that setting... something that is causing a very slow background search through existing address book directory for recognizable email addresses to 'auto fill' in that field.  I have already trashed preferences for both Mail and Address Book and that did not resolve the issue, so it must be something else.  I can live without Auto Complete.  Thanks for the input!

  • Iphone4 getting lots of mails is very slow

    Hi Everybody.
    I am using an Iphone4 with 4.3.2 iOS.
    I have two email addresses, both of them are private (so not mobileme, gmail, yahoo etc..)
    When i receive 1-5 mail mail app is respond very fast, (as fast as a usual app does on Iphone 4)
    but when i got 15- or more emails it takes 5 minutes to load! (i do not have problems with the download!). I see all the (let say) 20 mails in the mailbox and i would like to delete them. I have a button on the upper right corner "Edit" and after that i can select which mail to delete.
    Usually (1-5 mail) it takes within a second, to select and earese them. When I have a bit more like 15- or more it takes 5 minutes!!!!!! I push the Edit button and after I will wait 2 minutes when the application response me. Sometime it looks like it was frozen, so I hit home button and open mail again. but nothing happend if i would like to delete them I will have to wait so long.
    If anybody had/has something like this, or solution for my problem, please share with me.
    (The mails are simply text mail, not html with big picture, no attachment, nothing just simply text!)
    Thank you very much.

    My emails on both of my Macs send very slow. And I don't use signed email. I've searched this forum for answers and no one has answered the question.

  • After installing Snow Leopard, Mail became very slow contacting provider

    With Leopard, our Mail on different Macs where very quick to contact the provider. You know what I mean, not sending or receiving the messages, I mean the connection procedure at the beginning. With Snow Leopard this procedure became very slow. Never understood why

    HI,
    Launch Mac Mail.
    From the Menu Bar, click Mail/Preferences.
    Make note of your preferences then locate this file.
    com.apple.Mail.plist
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Also, try repairing 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.
    And try Mac OS X - Maintenance

  • Apple track pad very slow connecting after sleep

    I have a late 2009 iMac (11,1) running10.10.1.  It is very slow (5 to 35 seconds) connecting to my Apple trackpad whether I am logged in when I put the iMac to sleep or whether no one is logged in.  I have run EtreCheck and am including the output.  I would appreciate anyone offering advice on what to do to get my trackpad to connect quickly.

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • Apple Community pages very slow in Safari.

    Lately I am finding moving between Apple Community discussions has become very slow, sometimes irresponsive.   It is not a permanent feature; it tends to be like that for varying periods of time ... then reverts to normal.   My internet connection is good and refreshing the page ... well, it just doesn't.
    Would be glad to hear from anyone with thoughts on this?
    Thanks.  71.

    Same thing happens to me. I look at many posts and discussion and then it no longer responds. I can open a tab and go to any website and it works great but the discussions.apple.com remains nonresponsive. I quit safari and start Safari and discussions.apple.com works fine again.
    I haven't been able to figure out why.

  • Having mail problem very slow opening, deleting, unable to move to folders

    Have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X Ver. 10.6.8 - Having AppleMail problems: very very very slow opening any new incoming mail, can't delete, can't assign to Spam, and can't move to any folder for storing, and can't empty trash.  Seems to be corrupted and might need to reload the Mail Program (Version 4.6) and need to know if I can reload the mail program  and if I did would I lose all the data stored in folders?  I don't know how to reload the Mail program.  Also the entire computer seems to be slow to react as well but mail is worse.  I've checked and emptied caches for the browsers I use.  Connecting to Internet all right but as I said, slow to react.  I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    MichelPM, I don’t know how to find out how full is my Mail app.  I confess to being mostly an ignoramus about computer hardware, software, applications storage and usage.  I know where to look for some stuff, but I don’t know what all the information means.  I found the page under About this Mac Serial-ATA that gives the following info:  Macintosh HD:
      Capacity:          319.73 GB (319,728,959,488 bytes)
      Available:          270 GB (270,003,339,264 bytes)
    Then under Memory Slot there are two banks in Bank 0 all categories are empty but Bank 1 says 
                        Size:          1 GB
        Type:          DDR2 SDRAM
        Speed:          667 MHz
        Status:          OK
    I usually have three browsers open and one to two wordprocessers (Word and TextEdit),  the resident Dictionary.  When needed but closed when done with the current activity are Preview, Adobe Reader.  I do have a lot of documents on the desktop and filed in folders are uncountable.  I could commit most of these to flashdrives if I have to, but I’m not sure how to save all the stuff I have in folders in the Mail app.  I do not run any antivirus or “crapware” software that I can find in the MacHD applications folder.  I’ve never downloaded such programs.  I will commence to copy to external drives data I wish to preserve.  Can I copy the entire mail set of archive folders to an external hard drive?  I have a La Cie.
    With much appreciation for any help you offer,
    MMarvelous

  • Problem with Groups from Address Book in Apple Mail

    I have set up a group in my address book. When I use Apple Mail I use this group to send specific messages to. But for some reason I keep getting error messages saying that my outgoing sever encountered a problem with the messgae. It only happens when I send messages with a group, not if I send messages to single recipients. The group consists of 90 emails, so I can't enter their emails each time I want to send a message to the group.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards

    I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

  • Sending mail with "sent" is fast, but copying the sent mail is very slow, sometimes takes a minute; can it be speeded up?

    After hitting "send", a screen comes up showing a moving bar "copying the mail to the sent folder", the bar goes fully right on
    the screen but then I must wait, sometimes a minute for the copying process to complete. Then I always get a screen message
    next that says in effect could not copy, so I close that screen and then go to my sent folder and the email I sent shows up. So,
    the copy process is very slow and then I get a message could not copy, but in fact a copy does appear in sent folder????
    Thank you

    You do not mention how big is the Sent folder.
    I would first try to archive a load of old sent emails. This will reduce the file size. Maybe the delay is due to a large file.
    Set up Archive Options:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
    choose to archive by month and year and keep folder structure.
    Archive anything older than a month.

  • Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

    I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances.  Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
    for instance:
    A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
    using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
    after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end.  Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
    apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
    any thoughts or suggestions?
    I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

    Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
    I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
    Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
    My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

  • TS3276 My mail is very slow

    Hello I just gota new Macbook Air 13" now when i send mail it takes about a minute to send, i saw some fixes but none has worked for me any ideas?

    Do a backup.Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Triple click on the line below to select it.
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Control - click on the on the above after it is selected. Choose Services/Reveal from the contextual menu. You should be taken to that folder in Finder. If not, copy the highlighted line and while holding down the option key, select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
    Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and delete the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
