HT1338 Mail is constantly freezing and does play well w/ Safari

I purchased my MacBook Pro new in Nov 2012. All software is up to date. OS is 10.8.2
Ever since set up (clone over from older MacBook Pro) I have had trouble with Mail. If I have Safari open and want to email a page to someone, it freezes up and when I check Mail icon, it reads 'PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING.' It will also freeze up when I am not using Safari, but I can ALWAYS count on 3-4 times for every use to have to shut down Mail.
I have reported over 90% of these when asked and NEVER have heard anything from Apple.
Anyone else having this problem.

Apple doesn't directly respond to crash or hang reports.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

    Hi,
    Did you try any other browser? is it hosted on Business catalyst? If yes and if you are using custom domain, then login to admin panel using system domain (mysite.businesscatalyst.com) and then try to delete. 
    Let us know if that works

    Thanks for posting oldbuck!
    Glad to hear you were able to resolve the freezing issue on your DROID Incredible!  I would be happy to see if we can restore your contacts.
    I know you mentioned you didn't have an active Backup Assistant account at the time of the update, however, did you have a Google account setup on your device prior to the update?  If so, check on www.gmail.com to see if your contacts are backed up in the "Contacts" section.  If they are you can just readd the Google account to your device and enable the "Sync Contacts", and all of your contacts will be synced back to your device.
    I trust I have answered your question, and have addressed your concerns.

    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    Hi,
    When I read these Threads in Yosemite I am filtered to show only the one listing Messages (the App) as the App involved.
    This form of tagging a Thread no longer shows up in the current software used to run the Discussions.
    Did you use the Mail and the Messages tags ?
    It is difficult as many Mail help items refer to emails and "messages".
    With me posting to the thread it should raise it to near the top again and maybe someone who knows about Mail will post.

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Satellite U305-S7432 freezes and does not respond sometimes using Win XP

    Hello.
    I have a Satellite U305-S7432 notebook.
    Originally it came with Vista but I reformatted with XP Pro. I have installed all updates up to service pack 3.
    My problem is that sometimes when I try to restart the computer it simply freezes and does not respond at all to any input. I notice that this happens if I close and later open the lid (meaning that the computer goes input standby mode and comes back).
    Please note that the standby mode works perfectly fine and the computer leaves standby fine but afterwards when I try to restart, the computer will simply hang instead of restarting.
    If it never enters standby mode, the restart takes place as expected.
    I have installed all drivers and there are no question marks in Device Manager. I updated to the latest chipset driver from Intel (for the mobile 965) as well. Lastly, I also tried adding /forceresetreg to my boot.ini (as suggested by: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822624) but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    This is a Toshiba US notebook series and you should check the Toshiba US driver page for available drivers:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    If you will not find the XP drivers at this page then you could try to install some single drivers for Sat U300 from the Toshiba European page but Im not quite sure if such XP drivers will run on you Sat U305. But its worth a try!
    Good luck

  • Safari constantly freezes and is slow.  Just fix it Apple.  Who do you think you are, Microsoft?

    Safari constantly freezes and is incredably slow.  I have tried every "fix" on the Internet. Nothing works.  Just fix it Apple.  Stop pretending it is not a problem. 

    *********** PROBLEMS FIXED ************
    I have spent the last month trying to get my iPad 2 running like it did before 8.0 and 8.1. Finally chatted with Apple support for two hours trying many things. Then I  followed their instructions to do a full factory reset, reinstalled all my apps, and recreated all of my email accounts.
    Nothing, nothing, nothing worked! My iPad still runs crappy and web browsing (on any browser) was still tortuously slow and choppy.
    Then I tried this..... I put the iPad on a shelf,  went out and bought a Surface Pro 3. Now my tablet is running with lightning speed with an abundance of apps, and the user interface is performing great!
    Bye Bye Apple.

    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.

  • HT2500 Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

    Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

    You would configure the iPad to connect to your email provider's IMAP servers.  How that's done is specific to whatever mail provider you use.  If it's one of the major email services like AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo, then you should be able to just create a new mail account on the iPad and follow the instructions you see on the iPad.  If your email is not listed, then you'll need to contact your mail provider so you can know what to enter for the server name, etc.

  • HT1657 My movie rental freezes and does not play properly

    I rented a movie and when I pressed play it would not play. When it finally started to play it would freeze and looked very digital.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Constantly freezing and having to reset frequnetly

    i use my ipod on random all the time, and it plays through my entire playlist, which is about 1600 songs. if i find myself clicking the next button frequently it will freeze. sometimes when i just click any button once it freezes. all i have to do is restart it but that gets aggravating. any solutions?

    My mac does the same thing constantly. It freezes on almost every program I use. Internet and Itunes are the programs that freeze the most. I am at college and do not have the start up disk with me, which I guess poses a problem. It never froze up like this when I first got it about two years ago but now I can't go one day without it freezing. I have looked all over the internet for some explanation on why it does this and possibly ways to fix it and have found absolutely nothing. I hope that this gives enough info on what my computer does and if there is any other info I may have left out please ask, I will respond immediately.
    Kdempsey: I feel your pain as this freezing problem continues to wreak havoc every time I use my computer.

  • Exchange server mail makes iphone freeze and crash

    Hi, i bought my iphone last July and everything has been fine with it until a couple of months ago it started freezing and crashing. i tried restoring it to factory settings, sent it to Apple and they replaced it but it still happens!! it happens every 1-2 days, it crashes, freezes, restarts itself. I'll go to use it and its frozen so i have to reset it. I've overslept a few times when it's frozen over night and the alarm hasnt gone off! its completely fine when its not syncing my mail though.
    I connect to my work's exchange server and sync mail, contacts and calender. I found that when i stop syncing the mail, the phone is fine, but i need to check my mail for work.
    so ive had 2 phones and restored it a few times and it still does it!
    help please?

    When you restored your iPhone, did you restore from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    Did you transfer your iPhone's backup to the iPhone you received as an exchange under warranty?
    If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
