Exchange inbox hangs when mail starts

Can anyone help with this problem?
when I start mail, the inbox for my exchange account, i get the grey spinning wheel next to the mailbox, usually for hours and hours. but once it stops spinning, the emails are there and the mail app works perfectly. The activity window shows at least three processes waiting for the affected mailbox when they grey wheel is spinning.
does anyone know how to fix this?

I've tried reading the console messages but there is so much going on I can't tell what I'm supposed to be looking for. however I have noticed that if I look at the activity window, the one process that seems to cause the hang is "[exchange mailbox name] Communicating with server [INBOX] Fetching". this has a blue stripy progress bar running next to it with a red octagon to the right of it. Whilst Mail is stuck in the hang, there will be at least (and at most times) one other process above the message about "Fetching", which is always related to the same inbox, i.e."opening mailbox".
I found that by stopping the "Fetching" process by hitting the red octagon works. When it has been stopped it allows other processes relating to the inbox to continue. It has to be stopped several times, as it keeps re-opening, but once any other processess have cleared everything works OK. Has anyone got any idea what is going on here?

Java VM hangs when I start Derby Server

Hey everyone,
Help will be much appreciated so cheers in advance.
I've made a desktop app through Netbeans that runs fine within the IDE but can't get it to work from outside (unless I've connected to the server from within Netbeans first so guessing its not the app itself rather the conenction to the server?)
I'm using Java version 1.6.0_17 and am confuzled as to why the VM hangs when I try to start the Derby server from a Batch file.
my batch file reads:
set DERBY_HOME = M:\Business\Registers\Lodgements Registers\LodgementsDB\Sun\JavaDB
Path = %DERBY_HOME%\bin;%Path%
java -jar "%DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar" server start
java -jar "M:\Business\Registers\Lodgements Registers\LodgementsDB\Lodgements\dist\Lodgements.jar"
echo "Press any key to shutdown Server"
pause
java -jar "%DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar" server shutdown
I've checked the Derby log file and its reading
2010-02-16 09:00:37.530 GMT : Apache Derby Network Server - 10.5.3.0 - (802917) started and ready to accept connections on port 1527
Just running java -jar "M:\Business\Registers\Lodgements Registers\LodgementsDB\Lodgements\dist\Lodgements.jar"
gives all the usual java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException .... I gather because it can't find the database if the server isn't open.
The only other info I have to go on is the problem reporting in Vista which states the obvious (that the Java SE binary stopped working and was closed, tagging it with an AppHangB1)
Also, in advance, is there a more common way of starting the server from outside nettbeans (eg code) that doesn't rely on command prompt- seems daft to me not to have this (and yes I am a first time derby user, used the Toplink persistence libs throughout my code if that helps?).

Nothing is hanging, this is a misunderstanding of how a batch file works. A batch file is processed line by line, and only when the execution of the task or program (in this case your first call to Java) returns, execution will continue on the next line. As the first call starts Derby and only completes when Derby is stopped, your batch file will not continue with the next line until you kill Derby.
You either need to start Derby separately, inside your application or using a batch command to launch Derby in a separate process so the batch file won't wait until completion. AFAIK this can be achieved using the command START (eg START java (rest of the commandline))

Dvd-player/vlc player/xine-player hang when disc starts

lately all my players hang when i get my dvd-hardware startet. the dvd-screen pops up, several seconds of the movie are shown and then it hangs (ends just by quit now). i´ve tried with dvd-player, vlc-player and xine-player. one week ago all (at least dvd-player and vlc-player) worked perfectly well - i don´t understand ?! btw i´m talking of original discs. software is updated, i´m working with 10.6.8

Thank you for the response. I have checked it, and it says (i've dutch language) something i would translate to English as "System sound output". Is that preference for all discs? I would assume so. But DVD-player plays some discs without sound, and some with sound. So maybe it is codec related? But i would not know how to check that... (when i try to see what codec, audio says it is dts, and i assume dts audio should be no problem?)

SSH hangs when LSNRCTL start

Hi,
When i give
ssh -l finmasd3 asgard '. ./.profile;
lsnrctl start APPS_masd3'
from remote machine with valid access to the server
It hangs and doesnt return. BUt listener is started in the remote machine.
i have tried giving & in the end, and gave two commands instead of one( start and status).
I have a web tier and database tier. i start listener on the database tier from web tier .
thanks

The programs you are starting are probably keeping stdout and/or stderr open to put messages out to.
Try redirecting stdout/stderr to a file or /dev/null
You can also try adding -n to the ssh command which redirects stdin for you.

I updated the folio builder and now my indesign just hangs when i start it

what am i supposed to do?

Try clearing the local folio cache:
On Mac /Users/user name/Library/Preferences/ StageManager.<long_guid>/Local Store/
Please delete following cache file/folders:
* #SharedObjects
* Dmp folder
On PC, C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F011 1B594.1\Local Store is the path and delete those two folders.
You'll wind up losing any local folios you created, but it may help with your issue with the panel not opening.

Windows 2003 R2 Server hangs when starting Oracle 9.2 service

Hi,
I've been having an error with an Oracle 9.2.0.7 installation where the server will hang to the point where it needs to be powered off as it is completely unresponsive. It hangs when I start the Oracle service.
I've tried installing the system from scratch a few times(OS, OS patches, Oracle 9.2, Oracle 9.2.0.7 Patch set, Database) a few times however I keep having this same issue issue. I had the system running properly up until yesterday and I thought the issue was SP2 for Windows 2003 as I didn't patch the OS before installing everything however it is happening again now.
The listener is started and I can't even connect to an Idle instance through SQLPlus when this happens. I just get a TNS Listener error which I will list below. SInce this keeps happening, I'm wondering if it may be a hardware issue (Installed on an HP ML350) but I'm also wondering if it may be SP2 for WIndows 2003 server and was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I havne't found anything in the forum nor on Google so I thought I'd post here.
Here are the last entries in the DB log when it hangs;

Hi,
Since the server locks up when the service is starting, it's hard to determine how high it gets but after it starts, it quickly gets up to around 277MB and just stays there.
I was thinking it may be a memory issue as well as it displays the symptoms of a "light speed" memory leak. I had 4GB of memory in the server and realized that WIndows 2003 only saw 3.5GB so I decided to remove 1 GB but that didn't make a difference.
How would I go about ensuring that the memory consumption on my DB server does not get swapped much?

GarageBand hangs when opening, but will eventually open- what's the problem

Hi,
I just upgraded from GarageBand 2 to GarageBand 3. Previously, everything was on my start-up drive. When I upgraded, I moved all the files I could (loops and the like) to a media drive while keeping everything else on the start-up drive. Now, when I open GB3, it hangs and hangs, beach ball spinning, and the name of the application turns red in Activity Monitor, like it's frozen. But, it does eventually open up, after a minute or two, literally. It seems to hang when it starts loading the instruments used in the track. But it still does open and work fine! Well, not exactly fine, it also takes a lot longer than it used to to load a new instrument when I select a new one. Does anyone know what the issue may be?
Oh, and, I tried opening a file, then saving it as something different, then opening that new file, but it does the same thing.
Thanks!
William

Thanks for your response, xs4is. I am not on the offending machine at this moment, so I'll have to test your suggestions later this evening. Let me explain a little further what I did that lead up to the issues I'm now experiencing.
I had iLife 05 that came with my computer. I was upgrading to iLife 06. Everything from iLife 05 was on my boot drive- that's how it came and I never changed it. I have the second drive that I use for media files (I edit video- all of those files, my itunes library, etc. is on this drive). Prior to upgrading, I wanted to move everything I could (loops and stuff like that) to the second drive. So, there's a point in the installation right before it actually installs everything- it tells you where it's going to put a bunch of folders, it gives you the path and lets you know you can put them somewhere else if you'd like (ex. "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /Library/Application Support/Garageband. If you want to, you can choose a different folder. (to paraphrase)). At this point (for each of the folders full of files that it was installing), I followed the path it gave, took the folder that was already there ("SuchAndSuch") and copied it to the second drive, I then deleted that original folder and redirected the installer to the new folder. I even duplicated the folder path, to make it easier for me to understand, so that for the example above, the new path was "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /MediaDrive/Library/Application Support/Garageband. I am certain I did this part correctly. I created the "Library", "Application Support", & "Garageband" folders-- I only actually moved that last folder and deleted it off the Boot Drive. Anyway, I was pretty sure all this was okay to do because I was only moving the original stuff it was telling me it would be updating or replacing... I hope this makes sense and might help to figure just where or where I went wrong.
I'll have to look later to make sure, but I'm pretty sure there were no other duplicate software instruments in the browser window. There may be dplicates on the drive but not in the window I suppose. And I deleted the old ones off the boot drive.
That's a good idea of creating the alias folder- this could be the root of the problem. But I figured it'd be okay since I was telling the installer to install the stuff on the second drive.
I suspect there may be some small files that I moved to the second drive that really should be on the boot drive- some sort of files that act as a map or something for garageband. Maybe an invisible file? ...I hate those invisible files.
**Oh wait!** I just remembered something, when I was copying those folders (like I was saying above), it did prompt me for my admin name and password! So, wouldn't that mean I was moving something, well, important? Instead of just the loops and stuff?
Yeah, that's probably a key clue, eh?
I'll also try the Garageband index tip and let you know.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Mail hangs when downloading messages from Exchange

I've had the problem of Mail hanging when downloading from Exchange 2007, though from time to time it all works fine, suggesting all the settings are correct. Sometimes it will all work after a few forced quit- restart cycles, but this isn't reliable. Following advice on this forum I've trimmed the number of messages on the server (to c. 3,500), to no effect, and have deleted the Envelope Index file (which did temporarily alleviate the problem, but issues returned 24 hours later).
I see several errors are reported to Console which suggest a communication problem with EWS, and in particular an "id" issue, ("id is malformed" and a illegal temporary id is being used online) though I have no idea what id this is, or whether I can influence it in any way. Here are three exemplars:

Any help very welcome!

I finally called AppleCare again (after the first rep never got back to me), and we determined that somehow my Mail Rules had become corrupted. One of them (probably thanks to OmniFocus fiddling with my Mail rules) was caught in a loop that would keep repeating until it caused Mail to crash. I had to remove the "MessageRules.plist.backup" and "MessageRules.plist" files from my ~/Library/Mail folder, and then recreate all my rules, but that did the trick.

Mail hangs when trying to start it up

I don't know if this question has been answered elsewhere in the forum, I can't seem to find it.
When mail.app is opened it creates a maximised window (all white) and the spinning color wheel shows up and there it stays seemingly forever. Eventually I have to force quit to kill it.
It has worked fine for months, there has been some recent changes with the accounts like different SMTP server etc. and of course it is always kept up-to-date with System Software.
Oh yeah, being an old windows user, I tried rebooting
any help or suggestions appreciated,
thanks

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running):
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.
Post back with your observations.

Mail accessing the internet all the time and hangs when closing or deleting

Why is it every time I look at my DSL modem when Mail is open there is activity and when I close Mail it stops? It's only set to get the mail every 5 min but it's constantly accessing the internet. The other problem is that it seems to hang when closing and sometimes it takes several mins before it will delete an email that I wanted it to delete. Any ideas? I'm running 10.4.4 with a FRESH install, not an upgrade. I only have .Mac mail accounts so there is no other active accounts that Mail has to access to get mail.
This has only been going on since I upgraded to 10.4+ so I tried to reload the 10.4 several times without any change.
Thanks, Jason

Okay I used the Activity Monitor to check out mail while it was using the DSL connection. It was using 1.20% CPU and receiving 7 packets/sec. It's memory usage was slowly but steadily climbing until I shut it down. Then all the network activity stopped. As I said before this seems to start after mail has been open but not used for about 20-30 min and doesn't stop until I close mail.
Any ideas. Initially I was worried that there was an exploit in the new mail and someone was using it to access my mac. Is this something worth worrying about or is this a Mail quirk that will be patched later? Anyone else having this issue. I'm not even sure it's a problem but I don't see why Mail would be constantly downloading packets????

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

HT201413 I have 47 emails in my inbox, but when l open mail the screen is frozen & no emails are visible. Can anyone offer advice?

I have 47 emails in my inbox, but when l open mail App the screen is frozen & no emails are visible. Can anyone offer advice?

On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on eby one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, check and see if this resolves the issue.

Mail hangs when receiving messages

This past week, without any recent software/hardware changes or updates, Mail started hanging while new messages were coming in. I have three accounts set up-- two MobileMe which seem to not be the problem-- and one POP mail account with MSN. At first I thought the problem was a firewall issue because it happened on my laptop at work. However, when I bring the laptop (MBP) home and run it off Airport WiFi there, the problem persists, even though my home MacPro, set up the same way, works fine. Now, the only way to get out of Mail on my MBP is to force-quit. I've tried repairing permissions, replacing plists, deleting and re-creating mail accounts-- even transferring the working plist from my MacPro to my MBP. Regardless, incoming messages hang at "Incoming Message 16 of XX" with the kb/sec eventually slowing to 0.0 in the Mail Activity window. Anyone with a similar problem or luck with a fix? I'm running latest Mail and Snow Leopard versions.

I have exactly the same problem. I have two laptops, one running OS 10.6.2 and the other a G4 Powerbook running !0.5.8. On the Snow Leopard machine the iMap accounts (x4) are working fine, but hotmail mail and one Pop3 account both behave the same way - hanging indefinitely exactly half way through completion of the download of a couple of dozen emails, with download speed dropping to 0k. It has not been possible to download anything from either account now since November 6th. I have to check the mail on these two accounts via a web interface. The only solutions I have heard so far seem quite hit and miss. I am not particularly keen to do anything so radical as back up, reformat the hard drive, and re-instal the System / buy a new computer, or any of those other drastic fix-all-solutions sometims proposed when people cannot guess what is wrong. An informed work around would be very much appreciated.

Microsoft Exchange: Iphone inbox empties when messages are loaded onto PC

Hello,
I've got an IPhone 3Gs with the latest OS, and have successfully sync'ed with my Microsoft Exchange Server. When new emails arrive in my account, they are shown on my IPhone. Sounds good, right?
It would be perfect except for the (feature?) fact that as soon as I turn on my computer and open Outlook (thus syncing my computer with the same Exchange Server), the Inbox on my IPhone empties completely. The emails in Outlook that I've read on the IPhone are still marked as unread, and (biggest problem) the IPhone no longer has any mails in the inbox.
Is this issue known?

Okay, I found the answer to my own question, problem solved!
for those of you with similar symptoms: my Outlook was set up to use POP/IMAP communication with the exchange server instead of 'Exchange', so everytime it sync'ed, it would remove the emails from the Exchange server, which is why they were removed from my IPhone.
It was a configuration issue on Outlook, not on the IPhone.
