Entourage takes forever to begin downloading my emails
When I am in my office on a high speed network, it works great. However, it is painfully slow when I sign on at home with a VPN connection through Comcast cable modem (I am connecting through a Airport base station). Any ideas? thanks
The problem is because I did not delete many emails and built up a huge email file on our company Exchange server. Each time I logged in with the VPN, my machine and the server had to synchronize. The size of my file was rediculous (my fault). It was so big that the Entourage email export utilities would not work - Entouraged asked me to verify the file and rebuild the file. I did both, but the export utilities still did not work.
The solution to the problem was to create a series of folders on my machine where I copied the emails. Since they were no longer in the file system that synchronizes with the server after I copied them to the folders, I was able to delete them from the synchonized file system on my notebook which also deleted them from the server - any other approach that we could think of would have caused the ton of emails to be sent back to me from the server.
The slow time to receive emails has been resolved and the overall performance of the machine has improved greatly.
Thanks for sharing the tips - they helped me sort out the root cause of my problems.

I am running on a mbp 10.6.8 model macbookpro5,5I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?
If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Thunderbird freezes and takes forever to open "write window" when I try to send emails
I'm using Thunderbird 31.4.0 and when I wanna send an email Thunderbird freezes and it takes forever (in this case 20+ seconds) for the "write" window to open and ALLWAYS with the recipient left out.... and oh please don't get me started on how long forever is when I try to reply an email........
ThanksI'm using AVG Internet Security 2015 and I should perhaps also mention that I have a chosen few Thunderbird add-ons (adblock, email security and a few others) installed and that it works "so-so" when I run Thunderbird in "safe mode".

Hi,
I have taken over my son's old PC desktop tower as it has more memory than my old PC. I installed iTunes on it and have accessed via my iMatch account my music library that's in the iCloud. I need to download it to the iTuned library on the desktop so I can sync my iPod. I can only see how to do it song-by-song, which will take forever for my almost 5000 songs. Is there a way to dowload the entire library in one fell swoop, letting it download without me having to do each song individually or monitor it?
Thanks,
RSGSelect all songs ctrl A, right click - Download.

I have thousands of email messages in my ipad mailbox that I can't delete en masse. I can delete a few at a time, but this would take forever???
Contact htem? No, I wouldn't think so, I'm not familier with fuse.net. Most ISPs adn email providers have web pages that can be used to acces your account settings and email. That may provide a means of selecting multiple emails and deleting them (but probably not 22,000 at a time).

IPhone 3.0 download takes forever
I've been trying to download the new 3.0 upgrade for my IPhone but it takes forever to back up my files. The process is extremely slow and I get half way through it and then get a message stating that my phone disconnected. Can someone help me with this?
You are free to work with any released SDK.
Beta/unreleased SDKs are for review and use by committed developers so that Apple can control their exposure as they are prepared for the general public.
Paying the fee to register as a developer brings additional benefits, one of which is access to pre-release software. A recent pre-release of iTunes was part of this program as well, again, providing a controlled environment that brings not only a first-look, but associated risks common to pre-release products. It isn't hard to imagine a free-for-all scenario leading to issues that would sidetrack an otherwise organized process.
if i plan to sell it i pay them an additional 30% of my income!?
You are also of course free to establish your own mobile platform, OS, app store, sales, marketing, development, support and distribution network where you can keep 100% as you like...after expenses, of course, whatever those may be -
After downloading 6.0 on my ihpone 4 I am having trouble syncing events on my google calendar. If I pick a day next month it will take forever to come up and then say "no event scheduled." Can I just go back to the old operating system? I'm not using any of the new 6.features anyway.

However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

I have ipad2 and just got iPad 3 so I try to download all purchased apps to my new iPad but it takes forever and all apps that downloaded are not working, I already restore my old iPad to give it my little girl. Anybody knows what is going on and how cani fix this to have all of my apps to my new iPad. Thank you for reading my question .
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is absolutely safe.
Also try downloading another free app and then try again. -
It started 3 weeks ago. Downloading music from iTunes takes forever. Just 2 songs took almost 8 minutes. When I tried to listen to song samples before I buy them, the opening URL pop up box comes out with a message: "rebuffering stream" making the samples hard to listen.... how can this be fix?
I notice the same thing if I download a few songs simultaneously, that it takes longer. It is due to my DSL download speed being slower (faster DSL speed is not available in my area at the moment )
As far as the rebuffering issue, go into iTunes>Edit>Preferences and under the Store tab, check the box next to "Load complete preview before playing". This will load the entire preview and then start playback. I set mine this way because of my slower DSL connection to make it possible to listen to the entire preview without pauses for rebuffering. -

To "control/select" a group of emails and delete takes forever
when using 'select/control' to group a number of emails for deletion it takes forever to select (7-8 seconds) and to delete takes just as much time. It makes cleaning up email data very troublesome. I have to go to my provider, Windstream, and delete email on their platform.
