Email freezing in Lion upgrade

Upgraded late 2009 MacBook Pro 8GB 2.8Ghz 500GB from Snow Leopard to Lion - starting to run slow.
Now when I open mail and "respond" to it (in the iMail application) it freezes and I have to manually power it down.
I have been on the phone with Apple 4 times alone today. Here is what we have done:
1) reinstalled Lion (twice)
2) installed all the software updates
3) emptied entire cache from Library
4) removed the emails that were up when this began
5) run disk utility / repair disk / verify disk / repair disk permissions / verify disk permissions
I have no third party plugins or other types of attachments to my mail and there is nothing unusual in my mail.
I am basically at a loss. Any one out there be able to help me?
Malinda

anything?

IMac freezes after lion upgrade

Upgraded imac from SL to lion, and now the computer freezes when waking from sleep or switching accounts. I have no issues during the process of using the computer. I have installed new RAM (4gigs), reinstalled the OS, erased the HD (securely) and rebuilt from back-up, pram, disk utilities, disk warrior. Read in one post that this may be the logic board and that Apple may be replacing these in certain modles. I never had the computer freeze when I was running SL, and I am a school IT guy with over 100 macs running SL and this does not happen at school. I have heard from others of the same thing once they go to Lion but the Apple Store says they have not heard of it! Do not see how this could be a hardware thing since it looks to happen after Lion upgrade.
Any ideas

I did do the above as I read that may work too, I also made it so the HD never sleeps. Did not help for me, computer still freezes when switching accounts, not all the time, on average every other day I need to do a hard restart.
Still looking for the answer

What happened to my draft emails in OSX lion upgrade?

Prior to upgrading my system to Lion and moving to the Cloud, I had over 50 draft emails in my account. Now that I've made the move, they are gone. The other settings are intact, however, including my Smart Mailbox, rules and signatures. Does anyone have any idea how to get back my draft emails? Thanks!

In Mac OS 10.5.8 my yahoo email freezes up since upgrading to the new firefox.

I have 3 yahoo accounts and when I go to email, the screen freezes up every time.

[http://asqueella.blogspot.com/2010/12/dyld-unknown-required-load-command.html Here's an Explanation]. Basically you need to add "arch -i386 " at the beginning of the command because 10.5 is 32-bit only and more recent versions of Firefox default to 64-bit.

Macbook Pro restarts or freezes after Lion upgrade!

My 2007 Macbook Pro restarts (without warning-it's like losing power and get it back immediately) or freezes EVERYTIME when certain key combinations are used, e.g -b (minus then letter b, not at the same time), copy a sentence long and Ctrl-v, and some others that i am not even aware of.
This happens only after i updated to Lion! First, i thought it is because of the OS, but it crashed even in single mode with those key pressed. So, i used Apple Hardware Test, but it freezes during the test, every time
I tried resetting PRAM,SMC already. This is very weird and I have googled for all day long, hoping to find an answer for this problem but got no luck at all!
As my last attempt today, i backup data, format the hard drive and install Tiger. However, the problem persists. I am Vietnam, so take it to an apple store is not an option as we dont have any here!
Do you guys have any idea? This is driving crazy! 4 clients are chasing me :d
Thanks in advance!

Did reinstalling help? If not, then consider reinstalling Lion on a newly formatted drive. Let the system reinstall using Internet Recovery instead of reinstalling from a USB flash drive. The downloaded installation will be 10.7.2.
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

I only got second email for free OS X mountain lion upgrade

I got approved for free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade but I haven't received first email that contain PDF file. but I got a email with password to open PDF.
any idea?

I received TWO OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Password Emails, but no email with the PDF content code on July 27, 2012.
The email said "If you did not receive an email from the OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date program with your content code, please check your spam filter settings for attachment restrictions and contact us at [email protected] to have this email and your content code re-sent."
I checked my spam folder & didn't see anything. I emailed asking for the content code email to be resent, just like the email said. I got what I assume was an automated response on July 31, 2012 (4 days later). That email said:
Thank you for contacting the OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date Support Team regarding your request to change the email address associated with your claim.
In order to change the email address, please send the following information to [email protected]
Your Claim reference number
Original email address
Revised email address
Requester name:
Requester address
Requester phone number
The reason I assumed it was automated is because the parts above in red were highlighted in my email. I emailed [email protected] again indicating that I just need the content code resent. I received the SAME automated email on August 2, 2012 (2 days later):
Thank you for contacting the OS X Mountain Lion Up-To-Date Support Team regarding your request to change the email address associated with your claim.
In order to change the email address, please send the following information to [email protected]

Same email, just different parts highlighted.
Apparently, email correspondence does not work since it thinks I want to change my email address. I'll have to call Apple Care directly to find out what is going on.

IMac freezing after Mountain Lion Upgrade

After upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion it is freezing at least one a day. Sometimes the screen get messed up right before getting frozen, something like this video (from another guy), but they move from top to bottom to me.
I never had this problem before, it started right after the Mountain Lion upgrade.
Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?

Permissions Repair:
Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box. Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen. Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.
PRAM Reset:
1- Ensure the machine is powered off.
2- Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3- Press the ‘power on’ button.
4- Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5- Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up normally

My MacBook Air occasionally freezes since I upgrade to Lion

My MacBook Air occasionally freezes since I upgrade to Lion

I'm not sure it is the correct terminology. You turn off your MBA and turn it back on, as soon as you hear the sound you press shift for a few seconds and your MBA will "restart".

After Lion upgrade, my email has been upgrading for 4+ hours

Is this normal?
I installed the Lion upgrade on my mid-2009 MBP. It went without any complaints. I have 8G of RAM and 200G free on the HD.
When I restarted after the install, logged in and started mail.app it said it had to 'Optimize' it and it started this process.
It has been running for > 4 hours so far. The window shows no indication of any progress being made and says it will take a few minutes.
The timestamp on my Envelope Index in ~/Library/Mail matches the start of that process, but nothing else in there shows any change.
Looking in the console I see the startup messages for the process, but no errors.
10/13/11 7:59:08.506 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: ([0x0-0x124124].com.apple.mail[33082]) Exited with code: 255

10/13/11 7:59:13.653 AM Mail: Upgrading Library from 4.93 to 4.93
I can see that process is consuming CPU time and I did an lsof on the mail process and it shows that as the only open file under ~/Library/Mail that it has open.
mystic:~ jrh$ ps ax|grep Mail|grep -v grep

Sizewise ~/Library/Mail is 16G in size.
How long should this process take? I'm closing in on 5 hours with mail shut down.
thanks
john

I had the same experience and after 20 minutes I did it the crazy way. I disconnected it from USB iTunes and after 2 or 3 reconnections it happened the restore was ended and it was all OK.
Be carefull: this is something to recomended by Apple but... what can you do. ???

How do I get my iLife back for free after Lion Upgrade?

I upgraded from the Snow Leopard OS to Lion OS (using the thumb drive Apple sales) about a week ago, using a "Clean Install"; after doing which, I found that I couldn't find a lot of the app.s my wife and I downloaded. Our iLife collection is the only set I am truely upset about.
I called apple technical support and the lady asked me to find the Application CD that came with my iMac when I ordered it from Apple. I thought she would know what she was talking about and I ask a good deal of questions before using the CD. All the questions of which were answered to my satisfaction; however, I started the install of the CD and I got off the phone with the tech.supt. After about an hour, install done, iMac re-started, and my iLife app.s are no where to be found.
And!!!...My computer is now doing this freeze thing...where we have to do a Forced Power down to get it unfrozen!
Please help someone. I just want to get my wife's iphoto and iMovie back that she loves to tinker with (without having to pay for it all over again).

Do you work for Apple? So what you are telling me: it doesn't matter if I payed for it once, Apple is so low tech or just could care less about its customers that I am going to have to come out of pocket again. What is the point of the 90 day technical support that Apple offers with the Lion upgrade when it is purchased if the technical support just says...sorry, we can't help you with this problem.?
I am going to have to come out of pocket for a lot more than just the iLife collection that Apple has a copy of my purchase, which validates my request, yet Apple is not going to help me out. If that is the case, this would have to be the worst customer service I have ever gotten.
You are correct that it is my fault that my apps are gone because I did the clean install and did not think to back up my app.s, but is Apple hurting that much for money that it needs to squeeze money out of people that delete software by mistake? I have gotten two app.s for free from other small time app writers to put back on this computer after the Lion upgrade just by emailing them what happened and my info.
What about the freezing problem my iMac is having after I performed the task Apple tech supt told me to, which didn't work and created a new problem. You didn't address the freezing issue. You stating what I already said and adding a snooty comment to the end of it, while not offering any real help or advice pertaining to my questions, has been a waste of my time and an inconvenience to me that was not need. How about you think next time, before you type.
If anyone else would like to point out that I messed up or that I have no choice but to pay again, please hold your comments and allow those who might have a suggestion or answer to post, so I can get the help I asked for. Thank you, and thank you QuickTimeKirk for the speedy reply.

IMac 27" with Lion upgrade ... daily hangs! Need help and support

Dear Apple,
Mid-July we got an iMac27" with Snow Leopard installed. First week of August I upgraded to Lion via web download (from Apple Store).
Since then the iMac has frequently hung. It goes in two stages: 1) the cursor gets round with rolling colors for some time (the "force quit" or "shutdown" menu selections cannot be accessed because the mouse gets inactive for clicks), then 2) the cursor gets in the middle of the screen and resembles the gray round that rotates when the iMac starts up (but without the gray apple above it this time) ... it stays in that mode indefintely. I then have to shut it down via the back lower left button and start again. Now it goes into that "routine" almost daily.
All softwares are up-to-date. I have also performed three of four times now the "Alt at start" manoeuvre, check disk and permissions with repair.
Is it because of the Lion upgrade (instead of a fresh install)? (If so, how do I perform a fresh install and keep all settings/preferences.) Is it hardware-related ... although it looks like working quite good? Is it software-related ... how to clean everything?
In case such issue has not yet come up I will need to call the Apple help center. Can a phone number be provided? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

Your situation sounds identical to mine. But, with a 27" 2010 iMac and a 2009 Mac pro. Constant freezes, hangs, programs not quiting, unable to restart , shutdown.
I did a full re-install of Lion on both the iMac and Mac pro, including a full initialization of he disk, and, instead of migrating all my apps and data from time capsule, I individually re-installed each app.
Nada!..same problem..
On this past Monday, I reformatted my Macpro and re-installd Snow Leopard - it works perfect now!
Lion has got to be the worst product Apple has ever released. I have no idea why it works on so many Macs, when it seems to be so bad on many as well.

Photo Booth is freezing after Maverick upgrade. Any help?

Photo Booth has been freezing since I upgraded to Maverick yesterday. On my MacBook Pro, it shut it down. On my iMac, it did the same thing. Once I did manage to get it up again on the iMac, I got a spinning ball in less than 30 seconds, and then it just crashed.
On the MacBook Pro Retina Display, it crashes immediately — and, even then, the screen in Photo Booth is completely blacked out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Dragging and dropping to a web-based email (gmail) makes the photo appear inside the message itself, and not as an attachment, which is what I wanted.

HT1338 For some reason I simply cannot find a button anywhere to purchase Mountain Lion upgrade software.

I have been looking for the click button to purchase Mac OS X Mountain Lion upgrade.
I have been going round and round and cannot find that place. Please help.

From what I've read on these forums over the past few months, it hasn't gotten any better. An electronic order from any company shouldn't take more than 12 hours for a system to respond to, but people have been waiting up to a week for their redemption code email to arrive. It makes no sense to me why it would take that long.
